Before time travel, Zhou Zhihan had a deep understanding of Chinese history, especially in the past 100 years, he had more or less research on major events that have happened in the past 100 years. There is an old Chinese saying that only by learning from history can we not repeat the same mistakes.
Studying history is not just about understanding history, but also about learning from history and understanding aspirations.
Zhou Zhihan didn't understand many things that happened during the Anti-Japanese War and many battles, but he knew that the process of the Anti-Japanese War was long and it was impossible for him to change the trend of the entire war because of him alone. At most, he could change only a small part or a small part of the fate of a small number of people.
He could not change the final result of the Battle of Songhu in 1937, nor could he stop the Battle of Songhu, nor could he change the Chinese Air Force, which was completely wiped out in Songhu.
The development of history will not stop the rolling wheels because of a person, or change the direction of this wheel. Everyone in history, whether it is a big man or a general, is just a piece of dust under the rolling wheel.
In the morning, Vice President Liu Yunyi and all Chinese and overseas Chinese studied various matters of donating money to purchase P26 fighter jets, and the meeting ended before noon.
The transportation was not very developed at this time, and many Chinese and overseas Chinese came from other cities, and it would take time to rush back.
Everyone has their own jobs and their own families. Patriotism is a big deal, but their lives have to continue. Only by making their lives better can they provide more materials to support the motherland. Otherwise, patriotic slogans will only turn into lies, big talk, and empty talk.
At noon, several young people found a restaurant run by Chinese in Chinatown to gather together.
Shu Qin's uncle Qin Youfu was unwilling to be with young people. He thought it was noisy. He would rather find a small wine shop with a few old Chinese overseas Chinese, and ask for a plate of peanuts, a plate of shallots stewed tofu or tofu with Chinese toon. He would also make two hot stir-fry, and a pot of dried dried dried dried or southern yellow wine. The brothers sat together, chatted carefully, and tasted slowly.
That morning, the overseas Chinese who was standing at the door chatting with Qin Youfu and Shu Qin was named Tang Yong. He lived in New York, not far from here, and also drank and chatted with Qin Youfu and his brothers.
Shu Qin said that Uncle Tang is loyal and kind, and he is at the forefront every time he donates. He is from Nantong, Jiangsu. He came to the United States to study at the age of 19. After finishing his studies, he wanted to return to China, but he finally chose to stay in the United States due to domestic warlord disputes. Over the years, he has made great efforts for the Chinese and Overseas Chinese Association in New York, and is also a veteran figure in the association.
Shu Qin said that after Tang Yong graduated from the United States, he married an overseas Chinese girl in Southern California and gave birth to a son after marriage. He lived a prosperous life. Unfortunately, his son died at the age of three. His wife was overly sad and died of depression two years later. Under these two blows, he almost passed away. Later, under the persuasion of his friends, he moved out of California and came to New York City. From then on, he lived alone. In addition to work, he devoted more energy to the patriotic cause of the Chinese Overseas Chinese Association.
When Shu Qin introduced Tang Yong like this, everyone couldn't help but admire him. Unexpectedly, after experiencing such a big blow, he was able to stand up again and contribute money and efforts to the cause of the Chinese Overseas Chinese Association, which is very respectable.
A plate of pig ears,
A plate of peanuts,
A plate of homemade tofu,
A plate of scrambled eggs with chili peppers,
A small pot of cabbage pork stewed noodles,
A big bowl of Buddha jumps over the wall,
Two bottles of Yanghe Daqu,
Chinese flavor!
A few young people sat together and drank too much, so naturally there were more topics.
Huang Xinrui, Huang Panyang and two other young people believe that the Japanese Air Force is not as powerful as the legendary one.
Huang Xinrui looked very excited after drinking a few glasses of wine: "When I was studying for pilots, our American instructor said that Japanese fighters are short-legged, and they are relatively backward compared to American fighters, and the pilots' air combat capabilities are also average."
Huang Panyang said: "Japan is also average in pilot training and tactics. Compared with us pilots trained in the United States, there is a big gap.
I have heard from my American instructor that many Japanese pilots are shoddy. As long as they can fly trainers in the air for two laps, they can fly fighters by themselves."
After hearing what Huang Panyang and Huang Xinrui said, Zhou Zhihan couldn't help but feel worried. It was not a good thing that they were too proud.
The two pilots had ambitions. They had never experienced the war and did not know the cruelty of the war. They believed that once the war started, they could use their advanced technology and tactics to destroy Japanese fighter jets in one fell swoop.
Underestimating the enemy and being arrogant are common problems among all young military officers. Just like many students who have just graduated from college after the 21st century, they believe that the world is theirs, the times are theirs, and nothing they cannot do. Only after experiencing years of ups and downs in society can they realize that they are just a drop of water in the torrent of this era, and just a grain of sand under the huge wheel of society.
It is a good thing to be confident, but most young people pay the price for being too confident.
This is also normal.
At this time, the training level of American pilots was indeed the best in the world. Needless to mention the military aviation schools, the faculty and scale of private aviation schools are better than the regular aviation flight schools in most countries in the world.
American pilots believe that Japanese fighter jets have poor performance and their skills are not as good as theirs, which is normal.
Moreover, the information is relatively closed now, and the direct consequence of the information is that the vision is narrow and the pattern is not big enough, which makes it easy to become proud and complacent.
At present, Japan's fighter jet quality and pilot qualities are indeed very different from those of the United States.
"It's so cold!" Huang Panyang was full of energy, "Tell me about your evaluation of Japanese pilots."
"Yes, yes! Zhihan is a top student at West Point Aviation School. He must have his unique insights into fighter jets and pilot technology." Huang Xinrui's face turned slightly red after a few glasses of wine, and he felt a sense of ambition. "Zhihan, when you return to China after you study, we may even fight together in an air force!"
Looking at the two passionate young men in front of them who fought desperately with the Japanese over China in the future, Zhou Zhihan was very excited and stood up: "Two brothers, I will give you a cup first, thank you for your grand contributions to the Chinese nation's anti-Japanese cause in the future! The glorious deeds of the two brothers will always remain in the history of the Chinese people!"
"What Zhihan said sounds comfortable! Let's do one!"
Huang Xinrui and Huang Panyang stood up at the same time.
Shu Qin also stood up with two other young men. She did not drink, raised the teacup in her hand and toasted to everyone.
Zhou Zhihan said: "As far as I know, the training level of Japanese pilots is still quite different from that of the United States. In the future, the two big brothers will definitely be able to fight Japanese pilots in the sky of China! You two are China's future ace pilots!"
Zhou Zhihan felt that his words were a bit like the lines in movies in the 1970s and 1980s, but this was indeed from his heart.
These words may sound a bit fake and a bit rustic to young people born in the 21st century, but in fact, these words sound like spring breeze to those in the 1930s and 1940s.
Zhou Zhihan felt that the two people in front of him deserved all the praises they had.
"Brother! I'll lend you auspicious words!" Huang Panyang and Huang Xinrui stood up again, "Do it!"
"Dry!"
Zhou Zhihan raised his head and drank the wine, then took the bottle and poured the wine: "However, although Japanese planes have great shortcomings, their short legs are fatal flaws.
However, they have the carrier platform of aircraft carrier, which greatly makes up for the shortcomings of their fighter jets' short legs."
Huang Xinrui and Huang Panyang nodded, but what Zhou Zhihan said was not unreasonable.
Three people clinking glasses.
"Boss, bring two more bottles of wine!"
Zhou Zhihan's drinking rose.
"Come on!"
The boss brought two more bottles of Yanghe Daqu.
Zhou Zhihan gave the two people: "Brothers, do you know how many sea ships we in China have at this time?"
The two shook their heads.
"At this time, what China lacks is a powerful navy. We don't even have a decent destroyer, battleship, cruiser, let alone an aircraft carrier that can carry aircraft to gallop freely on the sea."
Huang Panyang, Huang Xinrui and others were silent at the same time.
Zhou Zhihan held the wine bottle, closed his eyes and shook his head, with a solemn and painful expression: "Our maritime power, compared with the Japanese fleet, is completely hitting stones with eggs!"
