Chapter 847 Deliberate Care

Aware of Li Zitao's indifferent attitude, the official representatives seldom spoke in the background, and kept smiling or nodding in agreement, or bowed their heads in silence to express their disapproval.

On the contrary, Li Zitao and Chennault had a very happy chat. The two have developed the airplane from the invention of the Wright Brothers, to the human yearning for the sky since ancient times, to the improvement and research and development, until today.

Although Li Zitao hadn't learned these things systematically, he had been in the skunk for a long time, so he naturally memorized a lot of stories and professional vocabulary.

Occasionally, he could frowned on what Chennault said, and after thinking hard, he suddenly realized, and admired him even more.

"Charlie, Huaguo, your hometown needs help now, I can see that you love your motherland deeply, help her." Chennault said in an emotional tone.

"...I'm doing this, talk about your needs." Li Zitao pondered for a moment, took a deep breath and looked at him.

He didn't want to earn his reputation, nor did he want to ruin his life, and he couldn't help but watch. Who could understand Li Zitao's embarrassment.

Without personal experience, who would know the setbacks he encountered every step of the way, how much cynicism and discrimination he endured.

The wealth he possessed may come easily, but it is not easy at all to get to today.

Whether he is responsible for himself or his family, he is not allowed to act recklessly and casually.

Moreover, he has always been "clear" in his heart that all these things will pass in another 9 years, the motherland will become prosperous and powerful, and the relationship between China and the United States will begin the honeymoon period.

At that time, Li Zitao will be able to export all kinds of advanced technologies, machinery, and talents to the country. At that time, he will be able to find tens of thousands of reasons that are impossible to refute.

"Airplanes, ammunition, excellent pilots... at least 200 people." Chennault opened his mouth wide.

Of the 200 excellent pilots, the Royal Air Force has a total of more than 500 pilots, and perhaps not even 200 can be counted as "excellent".

And Chennault wanted the talent reserve of an old and powerful country, which made Li Zitao's face a little ugly.

It's not that he is stingy, but that he needs to consider and balance more.

200 people can be afforded if the skunk's reserves are emptied, but the skunk's years of hard work and development in the air force will be in vain.

Thinking of the current domestic predicament, Li Zitao secretly gritted his teeth and raised a finger: "180 people, 2 ace pilots, I guarantee they are better than any pilot you have ever seen."

As soon as Chennault's eyes dimmed, they lit up instantly, "Two aces..."

The word 'ace' is not something that can be said casually. It is not known whether the trump card Li Zitao mentioned is the same as the one he saw in the Royal Air Force, but Chennault feels that even if it is not so powerful, the harvest this time is enough. Satisfied him.

The number of 200 was also said by Chennault. Originally, he thought that it would be good to have 80 people. Now it is more than doubled. What is there to be dissatisfied with?

The representative next to him who had been acting as the 'background' was even more overjoyed, and unconsciously laughed so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth.

If it weren't for the support of the table below, his jaw would have dropped to the ground.

A company can provide nearly 200 excellent pilots and 2 ace pilots, which he never imagined before.

Chennault and the official representative were very happy, but Li Zitao was more uncomfortable. This was like a hollow out of the skunk.

To train so many excellent pilots again, another 3-5 year plan is needed.

What hurt him the most were the two ace pilots, don't think he was joking when he said 'ace', they were unanimously recognized by all the instructors.

After the heartache, there was a headache. He had to find a suitable reason to persuade the former Brigadier General William Mitchell to give him the two "love disciples" he admired the most.

"It's better to wait until the raw rice is cooked." Li Zitao decided to ask the two to come first, and then tell William Mitchell the truth after boarding the boat and sending them off.

Otherwise, with his protection of two lovers,

Wanting to send them to the Far East battlefield to work for others, it's strange that William agreed.

The two of them have inherited all his ideas. In William's mind, they represent the future of the American Air Force. How can they be easily sent to dangerous battlefields without guarantees.

In fact, China's military conditions are not as crude as described and imagined by the outside world, especially after receiving assistance from Britain and the United States, this situation has improved even more.

The elite troops of the United Party are fully equipped to rival the regular divisions of Western powers, not to mention military thinking, the old ancestors played with the rest.

As for the difficult conditions, it was the Red Party that was suppressed by the United Party, but the two sides still retained their sympathy, united in fighting against Japan, and got along much better than before.

It is fortunate for the current Red Party not to be targeted and suppressed by all parties. As for the United Party to distribute foreign aid materials to them...

wishful thinking.

Fortunately, the Red Party also has its own ideas, mobilizes the power of the masses, walks into the masses, and receives funding from many Chinese entrepreneurs at home and abroad, so it can survive.

Chennault represented the mother of the nation, and the pilots and planes under Li Zitao were naturally deployed by the United Party.

This is something that can’t be helped. After all, the Unionist Party is the ruling party now, and Roosevelt supports it, not a group of ‘refugee troops’ wearing cloth clothes, cloth shoes, and carrying millet and rifles. '

Li Zitao might have been worried about whether doing so would change the direction of the future, but after seeing the strong historical inertia of important events, he felt that there was no need to worry about it anymore.

The ultimate downfall of the United Party is focused on the economy. The long-term corrupt life has corroded the ideology and iron law of the army. The soldiers only want to make money instead of going to battle to kill the enemy.

Of course, the United Party also had an iron army, but it was a pity that they all died in the tragic war of resistance. In the end, none of them survived, and those who stayed were even less interested in fighting a civil war.

These questions were a bit too deep and far-reaching, Li Zitao drove them away from his mind, and continued with the 'deal' after communicating with Chennault. '

These pilots were not given to him for free. Everyone's expenses, except salaries, there are rental fees and pensions.

"I can pay the pension in advance, as long as the Far East government reimburses me later, the rental fee can also be postponed, but... the expenses and wages must be paid on time."

Li Zitao can't let his own people bleed and shed tears. He doesn't care and doesn't want to care what others do, but if he is here, the people who use him just can't do it.

"Okay, I promise to provide them with the best environment, and the wages will be paid on time." Seeing the government representative nodding slightly, Chennault said with a smile.

"Then... let's talk about the plane!" The corners of Li Zitao's mouth naturally rose, while the expressions of the two people opposite him collapsed on the spot.

The skunk's plane is good, but the price, compared with the prices of other manufacturers, is simply a sky-high luxury.
