50 General Chennault

Recently, many book friends have said that air combat books do not write in the air.

So, I have rewritten the introduction of this book, and this is the brief outline of this book. Please guide you.

———

Looking at Zhou Zhihan for six seconds, then Major General Arthur Jin nodded.

Everyone has their own ambitions and cannot force it. From the competition just now, he saw the kindness, innocence, and innocence in the hearts of this young Chinese man, not hypocritical and not artificial.

In the competition just now, 99% of the students at West Point Military Academy would deliberately let him go and lose to him, which was not what he wanted.

From the conversation just now, Principal Arthur King saw loyalty, courage, passion and faith from Zhou Zhihan!

Such a young man is rare.

The competition between Principal Arthur King and Zhou Zhihan has ended. Major Jeff Hunter asked the students to disperse themselves and continue to visit and learn the physical fitness tests of the students in the graduating class.

Zhou Zhihan no longer needs a test, and his physical fitness is already in line with the Randolph Air Force Academy.

The students all scattered and the instructors went to work on their own. General Arthur King was left with only the adjutant and Major Jeff Hunter.

General Arthur King lit the tobacco in his pipe and walked to a table dedicated to replenishing water for the students. "Student Zhou, there will be a battle between China and Japan, and your Chinese air force is weak and cannot confront the Japanese air force head-on.

As far as I know, the total number of your aircraft is currently no more than 120, and most of the aircraft are outdated and backward. No more than half of them can fight against Japanese aircraft. In this half, no more than one-third of the fighter jets can fight against Type 96 carrier-based aircraft. How do you fight?"

Major Jeff Hunter handed me a glass of water to Principal Arthur King: "Last night, an old friend of mine just came back from China and called me."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhihan looked at Major Jeff Hunter.

Major Jeff Hunter said and looked at Zhou Zhihan, but he stopped talking.

Principal Arthur King knew what Major Jeff Hunter meant and took the water cup: "If it weren't for military secrets, it could be said."

Major Jeff Hunter said: "My friend is Claire Lee Senort. In January this year, at the invitation of Mr. Mao Bangchu, the Chinese Air Force Colonel, he became the flight instructor of Hangzhou Jianqiao Central Aviation College. On the phone, he talked to me about the plan to form the National Government Air Force."

Zhou Zhihan blurted out "Claire Lee Senolt?"

Is this Claire Lee Shenault the one that Brother Huang and the others mentioned?

"Do you know him?"

Major Jeff Hunter asked casually.

"Major!" Zhou Zhihan said, "Is his full name Claire Lee Chennard?"

Major Jeff Hunter: "No, no, no. His name is Claire Lee Senort. We are old classmates. We graduated from the non-commissioned officer school. Later, he went to the Aviation Academy to study flight technology and had excellent skills. After graduating from the Aviation School, he wrote a book called "Fighter Flight Skills Manual". This book caused a great sensation at the time. In January this year, he went to China and returned to China last night."

Zhou Zhihan nodded, and he remembered that the reason why Chennard was called Chennard was because he later married a woman in China. The woman's surname was Chen, so the name Chennard was given.

Chinese people only know Chennold, but they don’t know that his original name is actually Claire Lee Senort. After marrying the Chinese wife and changing his name, Westerners call him Claire Lee Senort. Chennold, but the Chinese people prefer to call him General Chennold more.

For now, Americans don't know who Claire Lee Shernold and Chennold are.

Major Jeff Hunter continued: "My old classmate said that at present, most of the mass of National Air Force aircraft is old, the air force pilots do not have systematic training, the flight foundation is uneven, and their airport facilities are also very outdated. If a war occurs, it is easy to be attacked by the enemy. Generally speaking, once a war breaks out between China and Japan, they will not be able to gain any advantage in the Japanese Type 96 carrier-based airframe."

Zhou Zhihan remained silent. Before he traveled through time, he had a period of time devoted to studying the history of the War of Resistance against Japan and knew the family of the Air Force of the Republic of China at that time. In the memory of his predecessor, before going abroad, this group of students was highly expected by the Air Force, and naturally he also knew all the belongings of his Air Force.

Major Jeff Hunter said it more directly, speaking from the facts: "Japan is that they have powerful aircraft carriers, just mobile airports, and you only have some backward facilities and old technology airports, which are simply incomparable to them."

"Oh!" General Arthur King shook his head at Zhou Zhihan after hearing Major Jeff Hunter's words: "You guys are simply hitting stones with eggs!"

Zhou Zhihan continued to remain silent.

Although he traveled through time to the United States, he knew the strength of the Chinese Air Force during the War of Resistance Against Japan, and what General Arthur King and Major Jeff Hunter said was also heartfelt.

In the 21st century, relevant departments have studied that during the War of Resistance Against Japan, the average lifespan of Chinese air force pilots was only three months, especially during the Battle of Shanghai, Chinese pilots almost died collectively. Knowing that they were defeated, they still wrote an immortal legend in the sky of China without hesitation!

A tragic mood surged, and Zhou Zhihan knew that one day, he would be one of the group of pilots who died in death.

Seeing Zhou Zhihan's face showing a tragic and lonely expression, Principal Arthur Jin patted his shoulder again: "Young man, there are many ways to patriotic. If you stay in the United States, you can still contribute to the Chinese Air Force! I suggest you go to the Marine Corps, where there is a world you have never seen before!"

Major Jeff Hunter has always been worried that Zhou Zhihan would mention yesterday's stimulant. If General Arthur King knew about it, he might not be able to take it.

As a major officer, he is in charge of daily training in the school. In the absence of evidence, it is a very amateur behavior to question the use of stimulants by the cadet. If the cadet appeals, Major Jeff Hunter will be investigated by the military school judicial department, which will have a great impact on his future.

Therefore, Zhou Zhihan Jue said nothing about this, and Major Jeff Hunter was also grateful: "Student Zhou, West Point Military Academy is the cradle for cultivating military talents for the United States, and the Marine Corps is composed of the best among all the American military branches. They are the elites of the country! I hope you can think about it carefully!"

General Arthur King said: "Student Zhou, even if you don't want to stay in the United States, you can still participate in the Marine Corps selection cadet test. Their training method is something you have never seen before. When you return to China in the future, you can also use the skills and tactics learned by the Marine Corps to train your soldiers, which is also a contribution to the country."

Zhou Zhihan was a little moved.

Major Jeff Hunter hesitated and said, "General! He is not an American citizen and cannot participate in the selection of the Marine Corps."

General Arthur King: "This is easy to deal with. We can let Zhou, as an observer and technical study researcher of our school, participate in the selection and testing of the Marine Corps throughout the process."

Major Jeff Hunter praised: "General! This is a good idea!"

"General Xie! Xie Zheng!"

Zhou Zhihan knew that he could no longer be ungrateful, and he was really moved. He could participate and understand the selection test of the US Marine Corps. He would teach advanced tactics to domestic instructors after returning to China. This would be equivalent to indirectly improving the combat effectiveness of domestic soldiers. Why not do it!

Major Jeff Hunter chatted: "General, do you have time to join the Military Club the night after tomorrow?"

"I don't know either!" General Arthur King said and laughed. "Then you have to see if my wife and my daughter give me time."

Major Jeff Hunter and his adjutant laughed at the same time.

Although Major General Arthur King is majestic, he is the principal of the world-famous West Point Military Academy, and his "status" at home is behind his wife and daughter.

General Arthur King looked at Zhou Zhihan: "Oh, by the way, Zhou, you can go the night after tomorrow, just ask Major Jeff Hunter to get you a special pass!"

"General Thank you!"

"The afternoon after tomorrow, go to my place and I will get you a special pass." Major Jeff Hunter said and laughed. "You guy is really lucky and has received the love of the general. Only active-duty or retired soldiers can participate in the Military Club. As students, you are not qualified to participate."

Zhou Zhihan Jun salute: "Thank you General! Thank you Major!"
