Chapter 280 Air Force Talent
With the help of these Japanese, we already had a preliminary plan for the next day.
According to Wu Dongquan and others, the Japanese plan is still good, at least it is much more organized than ours, and it has undergone multiple reviews. When we are preparing the foundation, we will first send this plan to Jinling or Pujiang to find a specialist to take a look at it.
Just when Li Shaoyi was planning to ask Miss Yu for help, Li Qiankun also arrived in Chengde with his men.
"Brother Qiankun, for the sake of national justice, you came all the way from Jinling to my place. I really admire you."
Li Shaoyi personally welcomed Li Qiankun and his group outside the headquarters. We are really eager to recruit talents now. In terms of the air force, we are really poor and blank. Li Qiankun and his group are a great addition to us.
"Commander Li, what are you talking about? I was just doing my job, but you are different. From North China to Rehe, everything you have done is worthy of being recorded in history books. I am not a noble person. I am willing to work with Commander Li to use this 100-pound body to fight for a better living environment for future generations of our country. That way, my name will also be recorded in history books."
Li Qiankun said jokingly, and the people around him also laughed.
"You're a straightforward person, so let's stop flattering each other. I just have a pressing issue..."
Li Shaoyi asked them all to get on the bus. There were about twenty people on this trip, and they all had very good impressions of each other, so Li Shaoyi didn't lie to them.
"That's no problem. Although I didn't specialize in architecture, I did learn a bit about building airports and airstrips. I also know talented people in this field, and I can find a way to recruit them from Pujiang."
When Li Qiankun heard this, he immediately took the job. He also wanted to be able to take off and fight as soon as possible, but he didn't expect that Li Shaoyi had already started to prepare the foundation. After all, it was the 72nd Brigade, and they did things quickly. They were not like those masters in Nanjing, who would take two months just for meetings on a project.
"What was the treatment like in Pujiang? Here, it's double the salary."
Li Shaoyi said very sincerely that experts in this field can live well in Pujiang, and if you don't pay them double the salary in Chengde, why would they come to such a remote place like yours?
"Don't worry, Commander Li. The people I know are all passionate. If they hear they're coming to your place to build an airport to fight the Japanese, I guarantee they won't ask for a penny in salary, and they might even bring you some money."
When Li Qiankun said this, Li Shaoyi was confused. The backbone of society in this era all had good family conditions and were basically children of rich people. Even if Li Shaoyi offered them a salary, they might not really look down on it.
"Then I have to give them what I owe them."
Whether others want it or not is their business, but whether to give it or not is our business. Li Qiankun did not say much about this matter. It can be seen clearly from his own perspective. He sent a telegram before coming and did not even ask about any treatment. He was only focused on fighting against Japan.
When they arrived at the headquarters, Li Qiankun introduced the accompanying personnel to Li Shaoyi. Most of them were students from the Central Aviation School. They had participated in some battles, but their training time was not sufficient.
There are also two who are responsible for ground staff, and one is responsible for airport air defense. Anyway, these people are all useful and are rare talents for Li Shaoyi.
"This……"
Li Shaoyi originally wanted to arrange for them to rest, but who knew that these people were so energetic after they arrived, and kept clamoring to go to the airport to take a look. Li Shaoyi personally accompanied them there. Seeing dozens of large machines working in front of them, these people were dumbfounded.
Many of them had been there when the airport was being built in Pujiang. It was very difficult to mobilize so many large machines in Pujiang. Where did they come from in Chengde?
"Are these all Japanese soldiers?"
A pilot immediately noticed that the people who were working were wearing tattered Japanese military uniforms. The Japanese who showed off their power in Pujiang were no different from the Japanese here. In Pujiang, they were the bosses, but here, they didn't even have beds.
"Isn't this a waste utilization? They need food every day, and I can't always feed them. Now there is work to do, so they can eat as much as they work. If they don't work sixteen hours a day, they won't eat anything."
Li Shaoyi said with some pride that the shock in the hearts of these people present could be seen from their faces. Although they were all from the Central Air Force, they had experienced this era and dared not even think about the phenomenon of such abuse of foreigners, but it was a fact in Chengde.
Japanese people work sixteen hours a day?
If you don’t work hard enough, you won’t be able to eat?
Many people feel that their brains are not enough. Before coming here, they knew that Chengde was different from other places, and the 72nd Brigade was also different from other armies, but the difference in their minds was more or less imaginable. But after seeing the real Chengde, they always felt that their thinking was not enough.
"Everyone, come over here and take a look. The plane was actually bought a long time ago. These Junkers flew the plane over to me and then just left. Don't even mention how worried I am."
Li Qiankun was thinking about how to ask Li Shaoyi about the plane. After all, buying a plane is different from buying a car. Even for a powerful government like the Nanjing National Government, buying a plane is a big deal.
Just when I didn't know how to start, Li Shaoyi actually took the initiative to talk. After taking these people into the car, they drove into the woods to the south for a while, and there was actually a plane in front of them?
"This is also considered a war zone. I don't have a hangar here. If I leave it outside, it will easily attract the Japanese air raid, so I hid in the woods."
Li Shaoyi said it very casually, but these people were already numb.
More than 20 planes were neatly placed here. Of course, they were not people who had never seen planes before, but seeing so many planes in a place like Chengde, they didn’t know how shocked they were today.
"That's impossible. I know this aircraft. It just took off from Junkers not long ago. How could they sell it to you? As far as I know, even the Junkers army hasn't finished re-equipping it yet."
Wei Haixun said in surprise, this man was originally a captain of the Jinling Air Force, but he came from the Northeast Air Force. When he heard about the anti-Japanese war, he came without any hesitation...
