1928: The rise of giant merchants

Little Aqiao is Ye Luo's first woman, and she has been working hard in Shanghai with Ye Luo, who is only 12 years old, eleven years ago.

Ye Luo was even willing to let Bai Xiuzhu and Xiao Aqiao be equal wives for her. If he hadn't taken into account that Bai Xiuzhu was obsessed with him and Bai Xiongqi had a bright political career, he might have simply married Xiao Aqiao. Main house.

It was impossible for Ye Luo to feel relieved that such a woman whom he loved deeply and who loved him deeply was about to give birth.

After getting the exact news from Shi Jianqiao, Ye Luo contacted Hongmen as quickly as possible to take the ferry back to Shanghai. Later, he felt that the ferry was too slow. By the time he rushed home, the little girl might have been born.

After thinking twice, Ye Luo called Shi Jianqiao and Huo Ting'en, leaving Xu Wenqiang here. He took Huixin and Kong Lingjun with him and rushed to Franklin's villa, hoping that he could contact the military or the airline to help him temporarily get it. A plane back to Shanghai.

Fortunately, it was Ye Luo who came to ask for help. If it were anyone else, Franklin would have thought that the other person might have a broken head and actually wanted the military or airlines to serve him. This was overestimating his capabilities.

Hearing that it was such an urgent matter, Franklin was determined to sell Ye Luo a favor. He immediately contacted his senior junior fellow in the Military and Political Department of the White House and vouched for Ye Luo and others in his own name. Junkers F.13 passenger aircraft.

This is the first mass-produced passenger aircraft manufactured by Germany in 1920. It adopts an all-metal structure and was widely used in the 1920s and 1930s. Today, a brand-new Junkers F.13 aircraft sells for 1.4 million oceans, equivalent to It costs about 500,000 US dollars and is one of the current main passenger aircraft of Boeing Company in the United States.

Ye Luo was worried that he would still have to go through the messy procedures and approvals, so he simply waved his hand and spent US$1 million to buy the plane, all the staff, and a private parking pad.

Franklin was used to this, but this was the first time for the people at Boeing to see a "flying" rich man. They were all stunned and curious about Ye Luo's true identity and background.

Just in case, Franklin also specially introduced an experienced pilot to assist in flying the plane, striving to safely deliver the great god Ye Luo to Shanghai and then back safely.

If Yelo had an accident on his way back and forth, Franklin's bid for the presidency might turn into a fantasy.

He couldn't afford the gamble, so he naturally went all out to help Ye Luo return.

While waiting for the pilot to arrive, Ye Luo asked Xu Wenqiang to send an emergency telegram to the Jinling National Government and the Shanghai Bund City Hall, informing them that he was about to arrive in Shanghai by plane, so that the garrison headquarters would not accidentally injure him.

In fact, Jinling's anti-aircraft capabilities at this time were almost zero, let alone attacking an aircraft that was bound to have the American flag printed on it.

But I said the necessary greetings to reassure the principal and prevent some thoughtful people from thinking that I had ulterior motives.

Not long after, a military jeep arrived at Ye Luo's private helipad in the outskirts of New York. A tall American man jumped out of the military jeep, wearing a dark green military jacket.

"Ye, this is Instructor Claire Lee Chennault, who serves as a flight instructor at Brooks Airport in Texas and specializes in guiding paratrooper training." Franklin pulled over the Air Force officer who looked to be in his thirties and pointed again. Ye Luo, "Instructor Chennault, he is the Chinese businessman Mr. Ye Luo that I have mentioned repeatedly to you."

"Hello, Mr. Ye Luo." Chennault knows nothing about business, but the Red Star United Group has become so famous in New York recently. His previous short selling was heard all over the New York Stock Exchange. Even he has heard a lot about Ye Luo and Huixin. Rumor has it, "My wife also bought stocks from your company."

Chennault was obviously very enthusiastic and was not displeased at all because of the Chinese identity of Ye and Luo.

Chennault?

Ye Luo supported Hui Xin, his expression both exciting and complicated.

In terms of status, Chennault was just a flight instructor at an airport and could not be compared with them at all.

It’s no wonder that he treats himself with respect. Not to mention Yello’s illustrious reputation in the current American securities industry, and the fact that the governor of New York can personally come to ask for help, you can see how extraordinary Yello is.

However, in the next few years, Chennault would occupy a pivotal position in China and even be hailed as a national hero.

He was able to achieve such a great reputation in China later on, thanks to the principal's wife.

In early July 1937, at the invitation of the Jinling National Government, Chennault arrived in China to inspect the Air Force and served as a consultant.

Towards the end of the inspection, the Anti-Japanese War broke out in full force. Chennault accepted the suggestion of the principal's wife and established an aviation school in the suburbs of KM to train the Chinese Air Force according to U.S. military standards and actively assisted the Chinese Air Force in fighting Japan.

Due to diplomatic pressure from the Japanese invaders, Chennault's activities gradually became private.

In 1941, General Chennault established the "American Volunteer Air Force of the Chinese Air Force" to fight with the Chinese military and civilians against the Japanese invaders. This air force was the fighter plane with the winged tiger emblem and shark head shape. The first world-famous Flying Tigers!

"Hello, Instructor Chennault, I have to ask you to take us back to Shanghai as soon as possible this time." Ye Luo supported Hui Xin and whispered to him.

"No problem, I'll take care of it." Needless to say, Chennault's flying skills were not to mention. His purpose of accompanying this trip was more importantly to ensure the personal safety of Yeluo's group of people.

"Instructor Chennault, when you come back, I will recommend you to study at the Air Force Tactical School in Lanley, Virginia. Once you graduate, you can immediately go to the Aviation Tactics School at Maxwell Airport in Alabama to serve as a tactical instructor for fighter jets."

Franklin said in front of them.

Ye Luo was quite surprised. The exchange of interests between these Americans was really straightforward.

Although there are no outsiders here, talking about this kind of transaction directly makes the Chinese people who are usually reserved feel extremely embarrassed.

Chennault showed no embarrassment and quickly took off his military cap and saluted to express his gratitude.

This opportunity is too important to him.

Since graduating with honors from Clifford Aviation School in 1919, Chennault always thought that his life in the Air Force would be extremely exciting.

However, ten years later, society gave him a hard whip.

What the U.S. Air Force does not lack most is talent.

Kong has a talent, but without a backing, he can only waste his life like him, serving as a dispensable instructor at the airport.

It would be completely different if you could go to the Aviation Tactics School to serve as a tactical instructor for fighter jets.

This is equivalent to stepping into the US Air Force officer class. With a little more work, you can stand firm in the military and become a real Air Force officer!

This is what he has dreamed of!

"Make sure to complete the task!" (End of this chapter)
