"That's a good idea. You are the eldest son. You are not responsible for the family business, so why don't you want your two sisters to take care of it?" Chen Qingshan immediately looked at the eldest son with a straight face.
"Father, I was wrong. I just have a hard life." Chen Rong immediately gave up when he thought that he could not convince the old man.
"Brother Rong, are you very busy here now? Didn't you say that some industries are already moving to Sichuan and other places?" Li Hang was a little curious.
"Xiaohang, how can it be so easy to relocate this factory?"
After listening to Chen Rong's explanation, Li Hang understood the reason.
At this time, the best way from Wuhan to Sichuan is to take the Yangtze River waterway.
But the current Yangtze River is not as easy to navigate as it was in the 21st century, and navigation in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River is a big problem.
Coupled with the lack of ships, the transportation capacity from Wuhan to Wanxian, Chongqing and other places is insufficient.
Now we are traveling by water, so we have to find connections to get a boat.
If you are unlucky, the boat you found might be requisitioned by the government.
The Chen family is quite powerful in Wuhan and has a small shipping company of its own. However, most of the ships cannot go through the Three Gorges, and the only ones that can go are two small freighters of several hundred tons.
Of these two small steamers, one has been requisitioned by the government for a long time.
The remaining ship also took advantage of this opportunity to make money and at the same time transport their own things to Sichuan. However, they had to transport a lot of things, and one ship was not enough.
The factory can still be moved, but the mine cannot. During this time, we are also contacting buyers.
"Uncle Chen and Brother Rong, if you want to sell those mines at a good price, sell them in two days." Li Hang thought for a while and decided to help the Chen family again.
"You can sell it at a good price in two days? What's the truth?" Chen Rong was a little confused.
Even Chen Qingshan looked at the future son-in-law with doubts.
"Taierzhuang." Li Hang said three words.
"Taierzhuang? Are you saying that the Battle of Xuzhou will be won? But that's not what you said before." Chen Rong thought of Li Hang's previous confident analysis.
"Taierzhuang will win. The Japanese army is already trapped in Taierzhuang. In addition to the previous two air battles, we destroyed most of the Japanese fighter planes in North China. In a short period of time, the Japanese army has no advantages on the ground or in the air. Failure is inevitable.
If the battle in Taierzhuang is won, the government will definitely publicize it. Then it will be the best opportunity to cash out your industries that are inconvenient to sell. "
"Why do you act like a profiteer?" Chen Rong always felt that Li Hang's words did not match his performance on the battlefield.
One is the king of expulsion who is fearless on the battlefield, and the other is a treacherous businessman. These are obviously two different characters.
"Just listen to Xiaohang. We have to evacuate anyway, so we can cash out at a high price." Chen Qingshan made a decisive decision.
Their family's property has moved a lot to Sichuan, and there is no point in regretting it now. They can only gamble.
If what Li Hang said is true, it would be a bit deceptive for them to cash out at that time.
But as a businessman, if you have this kind of psychological burden, how can you make money?
. . . . . .
"Squadron Captain, you have obviously made great contributions, why should you be transferred out of the Fourth Battalion? That deputy captain is still just a captain. Isn't this a promotion in the dark?
No, I have to go find Commander Zhou and others to report the situation. "
At Hankou Airport, when Li Hang's appointment was official, Zhou Zhikai was the first to jump out and complain.
The order given by the Aviation Commission to Li Hang was to be the deputy captain of the Fifth Brigade and the deputy leader of the aircraft group of the Chengdu Aviation Research Institute. His military rank was still captain.
In the eyes of everyone in the 23rd Squadron, this was an overt rise and a covert fall.
Although the Fifth Group now has three squadrons, what kind of aircraft are they?
Although the Fighter fighter is better than the I-15 and Hawker III, it is a biplane after all. Its maximum speed is just over 400 kilometers, which is much worse than the I-16.
Let Li Hang, such an excellent pilot, go back to flying a biplane?
The key is that the position of deputy captain is still a distant leader, which makes people feel even more angry. Isn't this just a false position in name only?
You must know that in the two air battles on March 24 and March 27, a total of 12.5 Japanese aircraft were shot down. In the latter air battle, they also played a role in escorting them.
No matter how you look at it, you should be rewarded well.
Promotion and salary increase are necessary.
But the reality has some very embarrassing problems.
In the air battle on the 27th, Mao Yingchu actually had serious dereliction of duty. Even though he was wronged, some clues can be seen from Mao Gangchu's reprimand.
If you follow normal logic.
Mao Yingchu was removed from the position of captain due to dereliction of duty, Dong Mingde could take over the position of captain, and Li Hang could also be qualified as the deputy captain of the fourth brigade.
If this were the case, Lao Zhou would not have given Li Hang five choices.
If he could serve as the deputy captain of the Fourth Battalion, Li Hang would not consider other options at all, and the top brass of the Aviation Committee would not be entangled in how to reward Li Hang.
But it happened that Mao Yingchu didn't have any trouble. Who made his relationship difficult? If it had been anyone else, he would have been dismissed from his post for dereliction of duty, but he was fine.
In this way, Dong Mingde could only remain as deputy captain, but he was given a compensation of the rank of major.
Normally, the captain belongs to the major.
Of course it's not absolute. Anyway, in the past year or two, there have been captains of various brigades, including majors and major generals.
Just like Gaoqihang, he is a major general and the commander of the expulsion, but he also serves as the captain of the fourth brigade.
Since the fourth brigade doesn’t have a suitable position, we can’t really just reward them with a few thousand yuan, right?
It's not that Li Hang really cares about this position, it's just that the higher-ups must also take into account fairness. It's impossible for Li Hang to make great contributions with his life and not be rewarded with anything in the end.
After Lao Zhou said that he would be offered the position of deputy captain of the Fifth Brigade, Li Hang chose to go to the newly established Chengdu Aviation Research Institute of the Aviation Commission as the deputy leader of the aircraft group.
This is actually a compromise choice.
Once the opportunity is right, he can still return to the front line, but he will definitely go to the fifth team.
"Stop!" Li Hang shouted unhappily.
"Squadron Captain..." Zhou Zhikai stopped unhappy, obviously reluctant.
"Squadron leader, Zhikai is also fighting for you. This appointment does not look like a promotion, but more like a demotion." Liang Tiancheng was also dissatisfied with this appointment, but he was not as impulsive as Zhou Zhikai.
"How can it be demoted? I am the deputy captain now." Li Hang smiled and enlightened everyone at the same time, "It just so happens that there are no planes right now, so I can still be the deputy captain. You should be happy for me. yes."
"Squadron leader, you can still laugh like this? This is obviously a suppression of you. Even if we don't have planes for the time being, our squadron has so many planes, as long as you mention it, everyone will be willing to give it up." Zhou Zhikai said angrily said.
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
