Li Hang originally thought that he would spend his time in Lanzhou training, designing aircraft, resting and occasionally visiting Lanzhou City. He would not be able to return to Wuhan until after the Chinese New Year.
After all, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses twice before and it was impossible to come back without revenge.
When the Japanese army's new fighter planes arrive one after another, they will definitely make a comeback, and then their pilots will be sent back to defend.
Even if they don't have enough training time, they still have to go back.
The main reason is that the training of pilots is too slow. There are no private flight schools in the country, so we have to rely on the government. But the government paid attention to it late. Even the Central Aviation School can only train a hundred or ten people every year.
But this number of people may be consumed in a few months of air combat.
But on this day, a transport plane belonging to Eurasia Airlines landed at Lanzhou Donggang Airport.
Eurasia Airlines was the largest domestic airline at this time and the earliest international airline.
It is an air transport enterprise jointly operated by the National Government and Lufthansa in 1931.
The routes to be operated are: the Pingyue Line is Peiping-Guangzhou, the Bao-Lanzhou Line is Baotou-Lanzhou, the Shanghai-Lanzhou Line is Shanghai-Lanzhou, the West-Kunming Line is Xi'an-Chengdu-Kunming, and the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Line is Lanzhou. ——Hami, there are still some irregular flights.
After the Anti-Japanese War began, the headquarters moved to Kunming.
However, because Shanghai was captured by the Japanese army, the Shanghai-Lanzhou Line was shortened a lot.
The Shanghai-Lanzhou Line, Lanzhou-Xinjiang Line and subsequent routes together are the Shanghai-Xinjiang Line, which was once the longest route in China.
The flight took off from Shanghai and stopped in Nanjing, Luoyang, Xi'an, Lanzhou, Suzhou, Hami, Dihua (now Urumqi), and ended in Tacheng. The total route mileage is 4,050 kilometers.
But now that Shanghai has been captured by the Japanese army, the starting point has been changed to Wuhan. It is still transiting in Luoyang and flying to Lanzhou via Xi'an.
Due to Lanzhou's current important status, flight tickets on this route have been selling well in recent months.
Li Hang actually didn't think much about it, so he took another look at the monster three-engine Junkers iU-52 transport aircraft.
This can be regarded as a multi-purpose aircraft, it can be used as a passenger plane and a bomber.
It’s just that Eurasia Airlines is a civilian version.
Even so, it still maintains its strong and durable characteristics. For China with poor technical facilities, this aircraft is undoubtedly very suitable. Even the somewhat bumpy Donggang Airport is not suitable for the Junkers iU-52 transport aircraft. It's a trivial matter.
But when three people got off the plane, Li Hang was no longer calm.
"Li Hang, is that Miss Chen?" Lu Jichun approached and asked uncertainly.
"Who is Miss Chen?" Zhou Zhikai came over and asked.
"Our Captain Li's girlfriend." Liang Tiancheng directly made noises there.
"Is it true? Captain Li isn't married yet? I thought he was. Let me see where my sister-in-law is."
"The one wearing the black dress, isn't it beautiful?"
"She is indeed beautiful. She can fly on a plane and is so well-groomed. She is a young lady from a wealthy family!"
"She is indeed a young lady from a wealthy family. If she were not from a wealthy family, she would not be worthy of our Captain Li!"
"Go, go, go, do your thing!" Li Hang drove the group of people away helplessly. Why are a group of men still gossiping like this?
He put down his things and walked towards the tarmac.
When she saw him waving, Chen Lu rushed over without thinking, and then rushed into Li Hang's arms.
Fortunately, Li Hang has good physical fitness, otherwise he might not be able to catch this collision.
Chen Lu kissed Li Hang hard, then looked at the man in front of her who had lost a lot of weight, and said with a smile, "You seem to have lost some weight. And the skin is also a lot drier."
"Why do I, a man, need such good skin? Why are you here? Wuhan is not close to here!" Li Hang did not let go of the other party, but also put him down.
"I missed you, so I'm here."
"Your Majesty, don't you object? I'm afraid they will chase you from Wuhan to Lanzhou with knives."
"It's not that exaggerated. My dad is still very reasonable. During this period, he has been praising you." Chen Lu said with a smile, her face filled with a strong sense of happiness.
"real or fake?"
"Of course it's true."
"Let's go, I'll take you there first."
The other party's people were already here, and Li Hang couldn't drive him away, so he took Chen Lu and three others to meet his teammates.
Lu Jichun, Liang Tiancheng and others have naturally seen Chen Lu before and are no strangers to her either.
After all, it was no secret at Hankou Airport that this young lady from a wealthy family took the initiative to pursue the young and handsome Li Hang. Everyone knew this gossip.
Because the airport did not provide accommodation, Li Hang had to take him to find a place to stay in Lanzhou City.
"Li Hang, will you come back tonight?"
Before Li Hang left, Lu Jichun asked gossipingly.
"Lao Lu, you've had enough!"
Hearing this, a group of gossiping pilots laughed.
Finally, after finding a rickshaw, the group arrived at the Jincheng Hotel on Houfu Street in Lanzhou City, where Eurasia Airlines' office in Gansu was originally located, and later moved to a better place.
However, Jincheng Hotel is also one of the best hotels in Lanzhou. It cannot compare with the luxury hotels in Shanghai and Wuhan. But in this desolate place in the northwest, it is good to have such a hotel with acceptable conditions.
Two rooms were opened.
Chen Lu had a room by herself, and the two accompanying bodyguards shared a room.
Although Chen Qingshan agreed with his daughter to come to Lanzhou, he did not trust her to come alone, so he sent a bodyguard.
Both left and right are flying, so it’s not a big problem.
This gave the two accompanying Ah Wei a luxury and actually got on the plane.
After opening the room, the two bodyguards returned to their room knowingly, but they kept the door open and stared at Chen Lu's room at all times.
"How many days do you want to stay in Lanzhou? There is nothing interesting here. Why not stay for two days and then go back early."
After helping the other party pack their things, Li Hang began to urge the other party to go home early.
"I've just arrived, and you're going to drive me away?" Chen Lu pouted and came up behind Li Hang, and hugged him directly while the other person was busy.
Li Hang's body immediately tensed up, then relaxed. Then he turned around and pressed his shoulders, staring into his eyes with a serious expression, "I'm not driving you away. Lanzhou's dry climate is not suitable for a southern woman like you to stay for a long time. , the skin will get worse.”
"As long as you are here, I don't care." Chen Lu and Li Hang looked at each other with serious expressions.
"I will go back soon. There is no need for you to come here specially."
"I don't care. I can't contact you in Wuhan. I just can't bear it. Besides, I will be leaving the country in a while. I don't know if I can see you in the future."
Seeing that the women in front of him expressed their attitude in this way, Li Hang was not hard-hearted.
"Let's do this, you will stay in Lanzhou for two days, I will play with you for a day tomorrow, and you will go back the day after tomorrow."
