my bright sword career

Chapter 488 Stay

Gao Hongming's voice echoed in the small office, as if it was constantly beating the hearts of Doolittle and his group.

"Gentlemen, I admire you very much for your daring to fly a single bomber deep into Tokyo.

But this does not mean that I can send more than 100 troops including fighter jets, bombers and transport planes, worth nearly 2000 million US dollars, to accompany you on your adventure without hesitation. "

The elites of this era are mostly deeply influenced by Confucianism, they are ashamed to talk about money, and they prefer to talk around corners.

But Gao Hongming, who came from later generations, has a very different personality from people of this era. He knows how to deal with foreigners, and it is basically useless to say those vague words.

Talking to them has to be simple and straightforward, just like what he said now.

Seeing the disappointed expressions of Doolittle and the others, he continued: "If you want me to increase the bargaining chip, you must pay the corresponding reward, do you understand?"

"remuneration?"

Doolittle smiled bitterly and said, "Your Excellency, we are not rich people. We can't offer anything worth more than 2000 million yuan as a reward."

"I'm not only talking about money, but other things can also be exchanged." A cunning flashed in Gao Hongming's eyes.

"For example..." When Doolittle heard that there was hope, a trace of hope flashed in his eyes.

Although he knew that the guy in front of him must have bad intentions, but when he thought that there were more than a dozen companions trapped in Zhejiang more than 1000 kilometers away, his life and death were uncertain, so he knew that he was facing a poisonous bait, so he had to bite his teeth and swallow it. go down.

Looking at Doolittle's slightly ugly face, Gao Hongming expressed his plan: "I hope that after this matter is completed, Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle and all your crew members can stay with me and serve me Half a year."

"What... you want us to work for you... no no no... that's impossible..."

Doolittle shook his head like a rattle.

"My subordinates and I are all soldiers of the United States of America. We have no right to serve any army other than the United States without an order from the US government."

"Then you can contact your superiors now."

Gao Hongming pointed at him unceremoniously.

"On the one hand, you want me to carry out a big rescue at the risk of losing tens of thousands of troops, but on the other hand, you don't want to pay any price. How can there be such a good thing in this world?"

"But our government paid 500 million US dollars for this!" Doolittle stood up excitedly.

He waved his arms and said loudly: "Isn't this enough...Since you have received money, you must do something!"

"It seems that you also contacted your government before coming here."

Gao Hongming nodded, but his expression was still very insistent: "But as I said just now, your request has gone far beyond the scope of the original agreement. Do you think that just 500 million US dollars can make me risk losing 200 to [-] soldiers and [-] million soldiers?" Risk of multiple planes going to help you?"

Doolittle was speechless now, 500 million US dollars may seem like a lot, but compared to the price that Gao Hongming has to pay, it is not worth mentioning.

"All right……"

Doolittle sat down again, "I will consult with my superior again."

"That's right."

Gao Hongming snorted softly, "Don't always think about such a good thing as getting something for nothing, you have to pay as much as you want to get, don't you understand this point?"

"Before I came here, I heard that Chinese people are very humble and friendly, and this point of view has not changed until I met you.

But now I take it back, you're as greedy as those Jews and not a gentleman at all. "Doolittle said resentfully.

"Hahaha...I didn't expect you to know the word gentleman. It seems that you have spent the past two months in China!" Gao Hongming laughed.

Henry and Richard stared dumbfounded at their chief and Gao Hongming arguing like small vendors in a vegetable market,

Ten minutes later, Doolittle angrily followed a staff officer to the confidential room and began to send a telegram to the US embassy in China, and forwarded the telegram to US President Roosevelt.

Roosevelt's call back arrived at noon the next day, and there was only one sentence throughout: "Meet his request!"

After receiving the reply from the Americans, Gao Hongming appeared calm, but when Doolittle left the office, he waved his arms excitedly and laughed.

Chi Yaohui was puzzled by Gao Hongming's excitement.

"Tuan Zuo, it's just a few Yankees, why are you so excited?"

"Old Chi, you don't understand!" Facing Chi Yaohui's puzzlement, Gao Hongming just answered lightly with the joy in his heart.

Although Chi Yaohui was an excellent staff officer, there were some things he didn't understand.

Don't look at Gao Hongming's tough attitude when negotiating with Dolittle, but no one knows that his desire for Dolittle and his party can be described as salivating.

Who is Doolittle?

Let's just say that when he was young, he was the first pilot to fly alone across the continental United States in one day.

He also won the Schneider Championship, Bendix Air Race and Thompson Cup and other aviation competitions. It can be said that it is extremely difficult for others to win one of these air competition awards, but for others, these things have long been Tired of taking it.

Not only that, Doolittle also worked as a test pilot for a new type of aircraft, and received a doctorate in aeronautical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

How about it?Great, right?
But his awesomeness doesn't stop there.

This big guy not only has world-class flying skills and various theories, but also his hands-on ability is top-notch. He even made an airplane by himself.

For such a great person, ordinary people can only shout 666 from the sidelines.

Not only that, the American aircrew who bombed Tokyo this time were all elites carefully selected by Doolittle from the American bomber force.

How can Gao Hongming not be envious of such a group of American pilots who are rich in theory and experience?

Now that there is such an opportunity to keep them here, how could he miss this opportunity.

Although Gao Hongming also knew that it was impossible to keep them forever, it would be a huge profit to let them stay here for half a year and train a group of real pilots for their own flight corps.

Although Gao Hongming cashed in the most advanced aircraft, heavy artillery, and various weapons with his golden fingers, he was the only one who could not turn out technicians who could master these weapons proficiently.

After all, he doesn't have an alien base and a large number of biochemical people as the backing like Su Tong Su in "My Warlord Career".

Many things cannot be solved with money, which is why he forcibly retained Doolittle and his party at the cost of threats.
