The first sentence of the conversation was shocked by Zhong Yi.

Zhong Yi said: "If I hand over the 1st Aviation Division to you, what do you plan to use it?"

"What?" Zheng Shaoyu couldn't believe his ears and asked subconsciously.

Zhong Yi was not impatient and asked solemnly again: "I said, if I hand over the 1st Air Division to you, how do you plan to use it? How do you command it?"

What Zhong Yi said this time is very clear.

Zheng Shaoyu was also very sure that he heard it correctly.

However, the shock in Zheng Shaoyu's heart continued to increase.

Why? Why did Zhong Yi ask him such a thing?

Could it be that Zhong Yi actually planned to appoint him as the chief of staff of the 1st Aviation Division?

But Zheng Shaoyu quickly gave up this idea. How could it be? He is a man from Mao Bangchu. Even if Zhong Yi doesn't use his own confidant as the chief of staff, he will definitely not be able to use him.

But Zhong Yi's next sentence immediately shocked Zheng Shaoyu again.

"Tell you the truth, I plan to appoint you as the Chief of Staff of the 1st Aviation Division." Zhong Yi said, "But you also know that I cannot stay here for a long time, and it is even more impossible to essentially command the 1st Aviation Division. In other words, the Chief of Staff of the 1st Aviation Division will actually assume the responsibility of commanding the entire division. Before making this decision, I must ask you a few questions first. I must find out whether you deserve this position. This is not only responsible for you personally, but also for the entire Aviation Division, but also for the country and the nation. Do you agree?"

"Full agree." Zheng Shaoyu took a deep breath and focused his head.

"Okay." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "Now please tell me, if you are the chief of staff of the Aviation Division, how do you plan to use this division?"

"First of all, you must not defend passively." Zheng Shaoyu said without thinking, "There are serious problems in the combat guiding ideology of the Chinese Air Force. He believes that the Chinese Air Force is too weak, so he should not take the initiative. Instead, he should carry out national air defense to a limited extent under the coordination of ground alarms and air defense firepower. This idea is really unsatisfactory."

After pausing at this point, Zheng Shaoyu looked at Zhong Yi with his eyes, meaning that he would ask me to continue?

Zhong Yi made a gesture, meaning you continued.

Zheng Shaoyu continued: "The old saying goes, only a thousand days of thieves are not a thousand days of defense. For a natural and sudden attacking army like the Air Force, the idea of ​​passive defense is undoubtedly stupid. In fact, I think that the Air Force is naturally an offensive and not a defensive army."

Zhong Yi nodded, Zheng Shaoyu's idea was exactly the same as his.

Later, after the development of radar technology, national air defense will be meaningful. However, in this era, before radar technology has been popularized, it is too difficult to warn the enemy, especially when enemy planes can raid in the night, which makes it difficult to detect ground observation stations, so it is often very difficult to guard against.

This situation is undoubtedly very beneficial to the offensive side.

On the other hand, it will be very passive for the defense.

This alone is enough to help Zhong Yi make up his mind to appoint Zheng Shaoyu as the chief of staff of the aviation division.

However, Zhong Yi still wanted to see whether Zheng Shaoyu had his own unique theories or opinions on specific air combat theory, which is also very important.

At that moment, Zhong Yi said again: "What about specific air combat? Do you have any better suggestions?"

Zheng Shaoyu nodded and continued, "Then I will give you a few simple opinions. I found that many of our pilots like single-to-single. This is not just a subconscious choice, but a tactical choice. However, I think this tactical choice is actually not advisable. I think that two or even more fighter jets should be concentrated against one enemy aircraft, and then turn to the second and third ones after shooting down."

Zhong Yi's eyes lit up. This is Chennard's wolf pack tactics.

The essence of wolf pack tactics is that no matter how many enemy aircraft there are, they must create a multi-to-one situation in the local area and shoot down this enemy aircraft as first as possible.

In another time and space, this wolf pack tactic played a very important role, helping the Flying Tigers use the P-40 Tomahawk fighter with the not-so-excellent performance, but completely suppressed the Japanese Zero War in air combat. Later, the Flying Tigers' equipment was upgraded to the P-51 Mustang with better performance, and the Japanese Zero War was defeated without any resistance.

Zhong Yi nodded and said, "Major Zheng Shaoyu, I will now officially notify you that you have been formally appointed as the Chief of Staff of the 1st Air Force Air Division of the National Revolutionary Army. Congratulations."

After saying that, Zhong Yi stretched out his hand at Zheng Shaoyu again.

Zheng Shaoyu reached out to hold Zhong Yi blankly, but he couldn't believe it.

It's that simple? Zhong Yi actually appointed him as the chief of staff of the Aviation Division?

Zhong Yi also said: "Chief Zheng, you will take over the preparations for the 1st Aviation Division from now on. You can make a decision except for the matters on the aviation school."

Zheng Shaoyu cannot handle the situation in the aviation school, and Zhong Yi must find a way to settle it himself.

However, Zhong Yi didn't care too much. Although he expelled more than a dozen American instructors who committed the crime, he was also confident. No matter what, he had the word "reason" in his name. Moreover, he also had the honorary citizenship of the United States, and there was a large number of capitalists behind him. Even the US Ambassador to China, Jansen would definitely be concerned.

The most troublesome thing is Mao Bangchu's affairs. Although the person was killed, the situation has not been settled yet.

After seeing off Zheng Shaoyu, Long Shengwu said with a wry smile: "Brother Ziren, you and my brothers are probably in big trouble. I dare not assert that you are, but I, the brigade commander of the Second Brigade of Kunming Camp, can't do it."

Having said that, Long Shengwu didn't really feel at ease about this matter. Because the fact that he is Long Yun's son determines that he cannot truly gain the importance of Principal Chang. Therefore, whether this brigade commander can do it or not is nothing. As long as he is Long Yun, what is a brigade commander?

Moreover, Long Shengwu vaguely felt that there was a reason why he supported Zhong Yi so much.

Zhong Yi laughed and said, "If Brother Shengwu really lost his position as brigade commander because of me, why not go to my 10th Army as Chief of Staff?"

"Brother Ziren, don't joke." Long Shengwu Lian shook his hands and said hurriedly, "Don't tell lies in front of the real person, I don't have to hide it in front of you anymore. It's just a little bit of me who is a brigade commander, so I can be the chief of staff of the group army? Let's spare me as soon as possible and spare the brothers of the group army."
