This is really a steel behemoth base, which makes Zhou Zhihan extremely envious. Fighters on several aircraft carriers and fighter planes on land airports are arranged neatly in the night. There is a powerful force and power in the darkness. This power and power are Powerful beyond words.
Looking at these steel monsters, Zhou Zhihan suddenly felt sad and touched his face distressedly. It no longer had the moisture it had when he was at West Point Military Academy.
Four years have passed, and time has not moved forward a second or lagged behind during the war, but his body and mind have become much older.
Only here and now could he have time to feel sorry for himself alone.
Zhou Zhihan has been deeply touched since he started working as an instructor at Hangzhou Jianqiao Airport in 1937 and now at Pearl Harbor.
The sailors and pilots at Pearl Harbor spent their days in laughter.
Their training is lazy and the pace is slow. They have to take a break to drink a cup of coffee and chat with girls when they are building sleepers for the plane. On weekends, they have movie theaters and carnivals. They can also eat all kinds of fancy meals, dance, go to bars, and drink coffee on Sundays. You can sleep until you wake up naturally, all food, drink, and clothing are provided by the base. You get a considerable salary every month, enough to support your family, and singles can have fun picking up girls as much as they want.
The biggest reason why Pearl Harbor was easily attacked by the Japanese was the laziness of American sailors and pilots. For example, because the pilots complained about having to patrol 7 days a week, Admiral Kimmel agreed not to conduct 483 kilometers on Sundays. air patrol.
This request to "cancel patrol missions on Sunday" was jointly proposed by all the pilots at the base, and General Kimmel reluctantly agreed. This is why the Japanese chose to launch an attack on Pearl Harbor on Sunday morning.
Even now, Americans don’t know, but the Japanese knew everything about Pearl Harbor, including what time to turn off and turn on the radar;
There were only four artillery companies on Sunday. They entered the position without waking up, and there was no ammunition in the position. After each training, the remaining ammunition was returned to the warehouse. The reason turned out to be very funny: "it decays or rusts easily." , the storage points of most ammunition depots are far away from the positions, and have heavy locks that cannot be broken with a hammer. What is worse is that every Sunday, the person who manages the keys is missing...
Starting from October 1937, under the Japanese attack, Hangzhou Jianqiao Airport was forced to relocate continuously. The pilots lived a precarious life. They were threatened by Japanese fighter planes during the day and lit kerosene lamps in the dark with the curtains drawn at night. I have classes in my room, learn theoretical knowledge, and always be on guard against informants and sabotage by traitors and lackeys. I fly the world’s most backward fighter jets against the world’s best-trained pilots and best-performing fighter jets, knowing that the average lifespan is only three months. On the left and right, they still flew into the sky without hesitation and launched a desperate battle with the invaders. Their heroic feats were so admirable!
Looking at the brightly lit airport in the distance, with night patrol and night training fighter planes taking off and landing, Zhou Zhihan suddenly felt lost.
Only when a country is strong can its people live and work in peace and contentment, and society can flourish.
When a country is poor, both diplomacy and voice are weak.
Come on, Great China!
Suddenly, a jeep drove up under the tower, and a man got out and waved to Zhou Zhihan, who was standing in the light.
Zhou Zhihan has excellent eyesight and is Richard Dick Best.
This guy came to me at night, and he must be drinking. Thinking of the word "wine", the alcohol bug in Zhou Zhihan's belly was immediately seduced, and he ran down the tower as fast as possible.
Dick Best was still the same careless person, chewing gum with a arrogant look. When he saw Zhou Zhihan running over, he turned to the people in the car and smiled: "This guy is also an alcoholic. Who of you can drink him down tonight?" Come on, I’ll treat you tomorrow night as well.”
Squadron leader Captain Youjin Lindsay said: "Originally, tonight and tomorrow night are your invitations. If we drink him down, you will also be the ones to invite him the day after tomorrow!"
Dick Best shrugged, spread his hands, had an ambiguous expression, and smiled playfully.
Zhou Zhihan trotted over: "Best, today is the weekend, why don't you go home to spend time with your wife and children?"
"McCluskey and Lindsay, we are here to buy you a drink tonight. Thank you for teaching us how to make an emergency landing without fuel," Best said, opening the car door for Zhou Zhihan, and a villain came to complain first, "These two The guy said he’s going to get you drunk tonight, so you have to be careful.”
Zhou Zhihan got into the car and said, "Let's wait and see!"
"Hi!" McCluskey said with a smile, "Best, this guy likes to talk nonsense. He talks a lot about the train. Where do you want to go tonight, Colonel Zhou?"
Zhou Zhihan said casually: "As long as there is a place to drink, I will follow you wherever you go."
Best chewed gum, showed his white teeth and said with a smile: "Oh, you guy, you are never picky about drinking!"
McCluskey, who was sitting in the back row, suddenly said: "Then let's go to the Spring Tide Hotel!"
Spring Chao Hotel? Zhou Zhihan remained calm, but his heart skipped a beat.
This hotel seems to be a luxury hotel opened by a Japanese woman. It is located on the top of a hill. You can overlook the entire Pearl Harbor during the meal. Many American sailors like to go here on weekends to have a good time and drink. I heard that there are many Japanese geishas in the hotel.
This hotel was actually a large Japanese espionage center at Pearl Harbor.
The Americans never dreamed that the Japanese would be so bold as to put their spy center at Pearl Harbor.
This is really in line with the saying that the small hermitage is hidden in the mountains, and the great hermitage is hidden in the city.
Best drove, turned around and joked with a smile: "Oh, McCluskey, it turns out that you, a serious guy like you, likes Japanese women. Let me tell you, I have never seen you looking for an American girl in all this time.
The proprietress of this restaurant is really pretty, but don’t get too wildly imaginative. This Japanese woman named Fujiwara Namiko rarely goes out to meet guests, but she has many geishas brought from Japan, and there are many of them. Making money off stupid American soldiers. "
If you like Japanese women, you can spend the night at a geisha's place tonight. You can run along the quiet alleys and no one will tell you. "
McCluskey looked serious: "Shut your mouth, Best, you talk nonsense all day long. I heard that a Japanese sumo wrestler came to the Haruncho Hotel. This time he will follow the Tokyo delegation. Come and negotiate with the American delegation.
This man weighs over 300 kilograms and is extremely strong. I have never seen a sumo wrestler before, but I just wanted to see what kind of strong man he is. Anyway, we have a treat tonight, right? "
The tree-lined paths you yearn for are actually covered with hoarfrost every morning, dusk and late at night... Zhou Zhihan cursed, women in such places are not clean. By the way... I don't know if AIDS has appeared at this time.
"Hi! When you two talk about it now, have you considered Colonel Zhou's feelings?" Youjin Lindsay looked smart and capable. Zhou Zhihan had coached his bomber squadron, and the two had a good relationship. He looked at Zhou Zhi as he spoke Han, the meaning is very simple. China and Japan are at war, but you let Colonel Zhou go to a Japanese restaurant to have fun. This...
Dick Best and McCluskey were stunned at the same time. They had not really thought about this aspect. They just wanted to find a fun place to drink, so they thought of the Japanese Haruncho Hotel and Sumo Wrestlers.
It is estimated that in the entire Pearl Harbor and even the entire United States, only the Haruncho Hotel has sumo wrestlers.
Zhou Zhihan smiled: "After you said this, I really want to see what a sumo wrestler looks like. This is in the United States, so it doesn't matter who drinks in a restaurant!"
Zhou Zhihan knew that the status of the Japanese in the United States at this time was much higher than that of the Chinese. The main reason why he was accepted by the Americans was because he was a strong fighter.
Soldiers always respect the strong!
However, all this was about to change. The Japanese in the United States did not know at this time that they would soon become prisoners of the Americans and be sent to a very large concentration camp.
