Anti-Japanese War: When I get promoted, the system will explode with soldiers

"Isn't that appropriate?"

Seeing the expression on Li Qiankun's face, Li Shaoyi also frowned. He knew that the Nanjing National Government would definitely make a fuss about these pilots, but looking at Li Qiankun's expression, it seemed that the fuss was a bit more serious.

"It's not just inappropriate. They did give us pilots, but many of them were already named by their instructors back in aviation school. They're only suitable for non-transport aircraft, not fighters or bombers. Sending all of them here at once means only a limited number of usable pilots are available. I don't know some of these 100 pilots, but among the ones I do know, I can only pick out a dozen or so who are useful."

After hearing what Li Qiankun said, Li Shaoyi was also a little angry. I gave you the latest fighter jets, and you are playing this with me?

"Don't worry about this. I'll have the people from Jinling properly negotiate with them. But you know my two directors, one of whom is your cousin. They don't know whether these pilots are good or bad."

It’s not impossible to make a deal with Chengde Remote Control, but we also need to let our subordinates gain some experience.

The strategy of exchanging planes for pilots is not a one-time deal. Does it mean that Li Qiankun will have to look at the list in the future?

"You're being tough. The aircraft market is different from other markets. Although we've agreed to exchange five pilots for one aircraft, the quality of this group is only ten pilots per aircraft at best, and training is not included. Also, let me add another clause to the deal: all pilots must pass my exam after arriving in the north."

Li Qiankun thought for a while and said that when doing such transactions with the Nanjing National Government, one must be tough.

Especially now that they have no other purchasing channels, we are their only channel. The tougher we are, the less they dare to play tricks on us.

"I'll listen to you on this matter. I don't know much about those officials in Jinling."

Li Shaoyi agreed without thinking. The way things are done in Jinling is too unpolished. I thought you guys just had some random people around and we would just turn a blind eye to it, but I didn't expect you guys mixed some pilots in among those random people.

The news of the Northern Air Force's great victory soon spread to the South, and the newspapers were full of praise, which made the Central Air Force even more embarrassed.

The 72nd Brigade's air force has only been formed for a short time, but it is already able to take off and fight against the Japanese. According to conservative estimates, the air strikes over the past few days have killed and injured two to three thousand Japanese and destroyed more than one hundred tons of ammunition and equipment.

As for your Central Air Force, it seems that you have no combat record at all since its establishment.

Just when the Central Air Force people were hiding in their shells, Li Sibei made a phone call to Director Zhou's desk.

Our director does not approve this transaction. All transactions are suspended. We will wait and see when to resume them.

Director Zhou and his colleagues immediately panicked. They thought that the letter of intent had been signed and they would immediately send people to the north to fly the plane back. The matter would be over. They were also planning to review all the new aircraft during the Air Force Day. If the transaction was not successful, what was the point of the review?

"Ms. Dong, look at what's going on. Would you mind running a trip for us? We can't do it on our own..."

Director Zhou wanted to have a meeting with Li Sibei, but was rejected several times in a row. In desperation, he had to call Dong Yueyan.

"Director Zhou, I'm not criticizing you, but this is different from the list we originally agreed on. I told you back then that you could only include thirty transport pilots, and the rest had to be useful to that guy surnamed Li, otherwise he would reject us without hesitation. And now you're doing it! Are you going to include thirty transport pilots? You'd be lucky if you could pick out twenty fighter pilots. With that ratio, I wouldn't trade with you."

When Dong Yueyan saw this list, she was also very angry. Although Dong Yueyan didn't know much about Li Shaoyi's character, based on some previous information, she guessed that among the 100 pilots, if you mixed in 30 transport pilots, you would definitely be able to pass.

But most of you now are transport aircraft pilots, and some of you even have the license but cannot fly. You use such people to fool others. Do you think they are made of paper?

Director Zhou felt a little embarrassed after hearing what Dong Yueyan said, but he also knew that he had done something wrong. This was purely a common practice in the interactions between Jinling and warlords from all over the country, and they would embezzle as much as possible.

In Director Zhou's opinion, there was nothing wrong with doing this, but who knew that he would hit a wall this time.

"Then you see..."

There was silence for about five minutes, and Director Zhou had a bitter look on his face. This matter had to be resolved. If the transaction was closed like this, he would probably have to replace someone else in this position. Now everyone in Jinling knew about this plan, and they were all waiting to show off their talents during the Air Force Day. But now that the transaction was closed, what would be left to see?

"Why don't you go get a new list? Li Qiankun is in the north. You can hide it from others, but can you hide it from him?"

Dong Yueyan said angrily that under normal circumstances, she would never help Director Zhou deal with these messes, but the Air Force affairs were actually in charge of by her wife. If she didn't take care of them, she would be the one who would be embarrassed in the end.

Even if Director Zhou was kicked out and made a scapegoat, the upper echelons of Jinling would still discuss it, which would be bad for the lady's reputation.

"Yes, yes, I'll change it right away."

Twenty minutes later, Dong Yueyan left the Air Force Committee with a new list. An hour later, Dong Yueyan brought the list to the 72nd Brigade's Jinling Office.

No one in Jinling dared to turn their backs on Dong Yueyan, because the consequences of doing so would be very high. However, Li Sibei really took advantage of the situation today and made Dong Yueyan drink cold coffee in the lobby on the first floor for twenty minutes.

The news spread throughout Jinling like wings.

The people of the 72nd Brigade are really awesome. They dare to disrespect the lady.

Some people were also wondering in their hearts, "The last time Li Shaoyi came, we didn't establish a relationship with Li Shaoyi. Isn't it a bit of a loss?"

This guy has all the equipment from the Air Force and the Army. These days, whoever has a gun is king.

It was obvious that the Japanese could not do anything to him. The chairman of Rehe Province had already gone down. After dealing with the Japanese in Rehe Province, he immediately returned to Chahar.

No wonder Li Sibei is so awesome!

It seems we need to adjust our relationship with the 72nd Brigade. This is the future King of the North...
