Before Ron made an emergency landing, the straight-line distance between the small town he saw in the air and the place where he landed was actually not that far, but in fact, because there were more mountains and winding roads in this generation, the actual distance was much greater. Plus the roads

The conditions were not very good and the car could not drive fast, so it was not until the sun was almost setting that Ron and the others entered the small town.

This is a small city that still retains its ancient city wall. The city wall is not high and is covered with all kinds of weeds. In several collapsed gaps, there are also a few trees that twist like horned dragons.

Under the golden-red halo of the sunset, they stretch out their dark green branches and leaves, showing off their red or white flowers.

There was a group of soldiers in khaki military uniforms at the gate of the city. When they saw the convoy approaching, they tried their best to puff up their chests and look energetic. But when the jeep slowly passed by them, Ron discovered

, these soldiers are very thin, just like the starving African people seen on TV in previous lives. However, at any time, the starving African people cannot stand up straight like them.

The convoy drove along a narrow bluestone road and stopped at the entrance of a compound with a sign reading "Xiangyun County Garrison Headquarters of the Republic of China." Ron and McCain jumped out of the car.

McCain said to Ron while twisting his buttocks that were numbed by the jolt (due to his height of more than 1.9 meters, this action was particularly exaggerated, and Ron almost laughed out loud): "

But forget it, I said you were hungry, and I was almost starving to death."

At this time, a short and fat officer came out of the door. He was wearing a crisp military uniform and the beard on his double chin was shaved cleanly. The officer let Ron and the others in very enthusiastically, but his

The dialect accent was so strong that even though he said a lot of words, Ron didn't understand even half of them.

Fortunately, there was a translator nearby. The translator was thin, with a pair of thick glasses on his fair face. Although he was wearing a military uniform, he felt more like a middle school student. And his mouth

The English made Ron even more convinced that this was a middle school student who had not graduated. His Chinese-style English was almost more difficult to understand than Chinese. Ron had to combine his English with the fat officer's Chinese in order to understand them.

Make a guess about what he said.

The fat officer said a lot, but the meaning he expressed was actually quite simple. First, it was nothing more than a bunch of hymns of friendship between China and the United States. Second, he had laid down the banquet and was ready to cleanse his American friends.

Ron was indeed hungry, and after eating Western food for a long time, he did miss Chinese food. But after seeing the strong man dying due to malnutrition and the reed-stick-like soldiers at the city gate, he looked at the figure in front of him

The smiling officer who had clearly risen from the middle suddenly felt like he had lost his appetite.

But before Ron could refuse, McCain stood up first: "Colonel Ron needs to rest and cannot attend the banquet. Moreover, his body needs to recover and he cannot eat food that is not conducive to digestion, especially those that are stimulating.

Stuff, like chili!”

In the end, thanks to Dr. McCain's strong intervention, Ron was finally not dragged to participate in the "rear tight eating" activity. Of course, he was not beaten to death and only had a bowl of noodles for dinner.

Early the next morning, Ron and Dr. McCain went to a small airport near the county seat. During World War II, Americans built many airports in China, including more than fifty airports in Yunnan alone, almost

Every county has one, and some have more than one airport.

Of course, the size of this airport cannot be compared with Kunming's Wujiaba Airport. There is only a short runway and a squadron of P-40 fighter jets are stationed here.

At this time, the sun has risen very high. The sunlight shines on the P-40 aircraft parked on the tarmac with ferocious shark mouths painted on them, glowing with blazing white light. The coolness in the early morning has long disappeared. Now at the airport

It's already quite hot.

According to Ron's idea, the easiest way to get to Kunming is to fly a P-40 directly to Wujiaba. However, it seems that Chennault did not intend to let Ron fly over by himself. He sent an AT-

6. Come pick up Ron. This is an advanced trainer aircraft. During the reverse cross, Ron also flew. As a trainer aircraft, this aircraft can be called a classic. In the entire World War II, it was the second most produced

training aircraft, this ranking speaks for itself.

The person who flew over on the plane was a lieutenant named Qiao Si. As soon as he got off the plane, he told Ron that it was best for Ron to be an honest passenger this time. However, as a pilot who is used to flying fighter jets, Ron was

Driving an AT-6 doesn't feel cold, it's like asking a driver who is used to driving a racing car to drive a tractor.

Now it was impossible to encounter Japanese planes in this airspace, so Ron was happy and relaxed. He climbed into the back seat obediently, then leaned on the chair and began to close his eyes and rest.

The distance between the two airports is actually not that far, the air distance is only about 200 kilometers. Although the AT-6 does not fly very fast, it only took less than an hour to reach the sky above Wujiaba Airport.

During the Anti-Japanese War, Wujiaba Airport was the largest and busiest military airport in China. It was the end of the Hump Route and the headquarters of the Fourteenth Air Force.

The AT-6 landed lightly on the runway, then turned a corner and taxied directly to a two-story building and stopped.

Under the leadership of Qiao Si, Ron walked into this small building.

Qiao Si first took Ron to a drink, then walked aside to make a phone call.

Ron found a seat and sat down, and began to look around at the pilot's wine. In fact, the temperament of each air force of the Army Airlines is different, and the easiest place to find this difference is the wine. For example, when emphasizing

In Li Mei's disciplined team, the pilot lounge was bright, clean and well-organized, turning it into a pilot standby lounge.

But in the wine room of the Fourteenth Air Force, the situation was completely different. Compared with Li Mei's pilot lounge, it was noisy and messy. The dark red curtains were tightly closed, blocking the sunlight outside, making

The wine was filled with an ambiguous gloom. The beautiful singing voice came from the gramophone and floated in the room.

Ron sat down on a sofa, crossed his legs, and picked up a magazine placed on the coffee table. It was a copy of Playboy. This magazine has almost become a necessity for the US military like chocolate.

, a scantily clad blonde showed a provocative smile at Ron on the cover.

"Can I sit here?" a female voice said.

Ron looked up and saw a female officer with a delicate oval face, wearing a military uniform and long, curly permed hair, standing next to him holding a glass of drink.

"Oh, there's no one here, sit down wherever you want!"

The female officer sat down on the sofa next to Ron. She gently raised one leg, and the crotch of the skirt of the women's military uniform opened slightly, allowing the slender breasts inside to be half hidden.

Half exposed.

"Are you a new pilot? I don't think I've seen you before." The female officer smiled politely at Ron.

"Yes, I didn't know you were..."

The woman chuckled lightly and stretched out a delicate hand to Ron. "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Li Li, and my English name is Lily. I am the liaison officer of the Chinese Air Force."

"Pilot Ron, I'm glad to see such a beautiful lady like you here." Ron stretched out his hand, held her hand, and squeezed it gently on purpose.

The woman gently withdrew her hand and smiled ambiguously at Ron: "Mr. Ron, aren't you always such a gentleman?"

Ron smiled and did not answer. At this time, Qiao Si, who had just left to make a phone call, came over.

"Colonel, the general is now preparing to go hunting with a Chinese general. I would like to ask if you are interested in going hunting together."

"It's a dream come true." Ron knew that General Chennault's main hobbies in his life were fishing and hunting.

"Then let's set off." Qiao Si said, "The jeep is right outside."

So Ron stood up and nodded slightly to the female officer named Lily: "Ah, what a coincidence, beautiful lady, I must excuse you." Then he picked up the coat he had thrown on the sofa and followed Qiao.

Si walked out together.

Behind him, the female officer looked at his back and said softly to herself: "A colonel who has never appeared before, why is he here?" Her eyes sparkled in the dim wine.

Bright, like a hunting dog that has found its prey.

"Who is that woman? Something seems wrong." Ron said to Qiao Si as he walked in the aisle.

"The liaison officer of the Chinese Air Force, Staff Officer Schroeder, suspects that she is a military commander, um, an agent of China's Central Intelligence Agency - you know, although we are allies, it is common for us to play tricks on each other."

"No wonder she comes up to chat with her whenever she sees a strange face."

"To be honest, if that Chinese girl is really a spy, her intelligence level is really average, but she is really good-looking, so we all like to tease her. Besides, you know she is spying on us

What is the message for?"

"for what?"

"In order to more efficiently use the materials we gave them to make money in the black market. His immediate boss, Director Huang, is a big black marketeer."

…

There was a Willys Jeep in the backyard. Qiao Si walked Ron to the car, waved goodbye to him, and then the Jeep drove out of the yard.

After driving for more than 20 minutes, the jeep turned onto a mountain road, and then wandered around the mountains until Ron's head almost turned dizzy when he came across a deep valley full of tall trees.

Appeared in front of him. On the side of the road, there were several soldiers wearing military uniforms and holding M1 carbines waiting there.

"Sir, we're here." The soldier who was driving stopped the car and said to Ron.

As soon as Ron jumped out of the car, a U.S. Army sergeant came up and told him that General Chennault was hunting in the valley, and he was ordered to wait here so that he could take Ron in. In addition, the general had some good shotguns prepared for Ron.
