skilled.

At the end of World War II, the Japanese invaders and Germany still had airplanes, but they couldn't find enough pilots.

The pilots trained previously have all been used up. Newbies have difficulty even flying a plane into the sky. Let alone fighting. If they get up there, they will be slaughtered.

The Japanese invaders had already made this very obvious in the Pacific battlefield and in the Mariana air battle.

He was completely beaten passively. He didn't even have the strength to parry. There was no need to talk about the strength to fight back.

That was still June 1944!

Before the war was over, the Japanese carrier-based aircraft pilots were already brittle.

"The initial payment is 1,500 yuan per month."

"oh……"

Zhang Yong said that his memory was correct.

It seems to be so much. 1,500 oceans per month. And Chennault refuses to accept legal tender.

It should be said that Lao Chen also had advisers around him. They told him that legal currency is easy to depreciate. Only the ocean is eternal. Of course, if it is US dollars, that is no problem.

However, buying horse bones is worth a thousand dollars.

If there is not a sufficiently attractive salary, who will work for you?

With the cruel process of the Anti-Japanese War, almost all pilots of the National Air Force suffered casualties.

It seems that Gao Yuanhang and others have all died. The pilots who followed were seriously lacking in skills. They went up to the sky to fight Japanese aircraft and were no match for them.

Therefore, the national government had to ask Chennault to recruit pilots in the beautiful country.

Under the temptation of high salaries, many American pilots came to join the fight.

In the early days, salary expenses were still very scary. The Air Force was under great pressure.

Money is needed everywhere. Money is lacking everywhere.

Years 1939, 40, and 41 were the most difficult three years for the National Air Force.

However, with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the situation improved slightly.

The beautiful country has greatly increased its assistance to the national air force. A large number of aircraft and pilots have been obtained.

After the Flying Tigers reorganized the 14th Air Force, salaries were awarded based on those of other US air forces. The pressure was greatly reduced.

The logistics of the air force are also borne by the beautiful country. The government is finally relieved.

However, in general, there will be a serious lack of money for a long time to come.

well……

Make money!

Make money!

Take people to check other warehouses.

There is also a weapon sign in No. 9 Warehouse. There may be a hidden pistol or something.

Zhang Yong was too lazy to do anything, so he directly asked the workers to help and earn some extra money.

Sure enough, the selected workers were all very active and worked very hard. Unfortunately, there were no yellow dots inside. Maybe the red hadn't had time to penetrate here.

Suddenly I remembered something and checked the map. I found that the two yellow dots were no longer there.

I looked around intentionally or unintentionally. I really didn’t see the two people from yesterday.

What are they here for?

Come to pick up the goods?

What goods are you picking up?

"Bang!"

"Run!"

"Run!"

Suddenly, someone screamed in the warehouse.

Zhang Yong turned around and looked over and found that the workers inside seemed to have been attacked.

Chen Hai and others thought there was an ambush and immediately drew their guns.

Others also drew their guns one after another.

Finally, it was discovered that there was an accident. One worker was almost hit.

Zhang Yong was confused.

The goods in this warehouse are bags of rice. They are all packed in sacks. One sack seems to weigh fifty kilograms.

For those workers, a weight of fifty pounds is nothing. How could an accident happen?

"Team leader, a mortar was found!" Chen Hai hurriedly reported.

"Huh?" Zhang Yong frowned.

Mortar?

There is actually a mortar hidden in this warehouse?

No way?

Who is so stupid as to hide a mortar inside?

You think the dock warehouse is your own back garden! You can barely hide a few guns, but you actually hide a mortar?

This is too much!

Walking over, everyone dispersed.

Zhang Yong came to the innermost place and saw a mortar.

Part status.

The barrel and bottom plate are separate.

The caliber is 82mm. The workmanship quality does not seem to be domestically made.

There are some runes marked on it. Look carefully. It's actually in English. There are also words such as U.S.A. Huh? It's actually from the beautiful country?

Keep checking. The more you look at it, the more it looks like an 81mm organic mortar from the Beautiful Country.

What is the model number? It seems to be M1? But there is no model number marked on it. I guess it should be.

This is awesome.

It is actually an imported American-made 81mm mortar.

The biggest feature of this gun is its long range. The maximum range is more than 3,000 meters. It is farther than the Japanese 92 Infantry Cannon.

The Japanese invaders’ 92 infantry artillery had a maximum range of only 2,800 meters!

If placed in an infantry company, it can compete face-to-face with the Japanese 92 Infantry Artillery.

But no shells were found.

"continue!"

"yes!"

The workers moved all the rice around.

Sure enough, I found two artillery shells hidden inside a bag of rice. They were wrapped in rice and were difficult to find.

Check the shell carefully. It is indeed made in the United States.

Zhang Yong was angry.

Who is it that uses rice to hide cannonballs?

This is rice! It’s grain! How can you waste grain like this!

Mudd!

After getting angry, he calmed down quickly.

Yes, let’s investigate the basic situation first. Find out who is picking up the goods. What if we can follow the clues?

However, the results of the survey are disturbing.

The rice in Warehouse No. 9 has been stored for three months but has never been taken away.

The person who picked up the goods was named Zeng Xiaofang. She seemed to be a woman. However, there was no specific identity information. After asking around, no one knew who Zeng Xiaofang was.

The bill of lading shows that the weight of this batch of rice is 800 tons, which is 1.6 million jins.

"Has the delivery date passed?"

"It's been five days."
