Chapter six hundred and eighty nine
Just as the speech conference was about to end, Brigadier General Mi of the xi Point Military Academy, who presided over the speech conference, made a request on behalf of the faculty and staff and students of the xi Point Military Academy.
He said: "Mr. Gao, I heard that you have extremely high tactical skills and are proficient in the use of various weapons. I hope you can show it to us."
Gao Jiu is now a legendary figure. People at Xi Point Military Academy think that he can fly over the eaves and walls, and there are all kinds of exaggerated and magical abilities that everyone wants to see with their own eyes.
Xi Point Military Academy held such a grand conference, where faculty and staff and students were all wearing dresses, and Gao Jiu was also wearing suits and ties. It was a bit uncoordinated to let Gao Jiu perform movement demonstrations. At least Gao Jiu should be allowed to change into combat uniforms and go to the training ground to display. However, in that kind of occasion, only a few instructors and students could observe, which could not meet the requirements of all personnel.
Gao Jiu didn't know what subjects they would arrange on such occasions, and he was a little confused.
Kung fu master Bruce Lee showed his legendary martial arts in the United States and won the respect of the Americans. As a result, the Americans believed that all Chinese people could do Kung Fu.
Therefore, Gao Jiu also made up his mind that as long as the projects proposed by the Americans did not prevent him from maintaining dignity in front of the Americans, he decided to show his talents and leave a deep impression on the Americans, because behind him were thousands of Chinese, and he wanted to let the Americans know that the Chinese are amazing.
Gao Jiu said readily: "If everyone is willing to read it, I am willing to show it to you. What kind of subjects do you want to see?"
Before making a request with Gao Jiu, the school leaders had already discussed it. They asked Gao Jiu and everyone to wait, and immediately ordered someone to make arrangements.
After a while, an officer came over with a group of military academy students carrying something. Gao Jiu saw that they were carrying a flying saucer catapult in their hands, and it turned out that he wanted Gao Jiu to show his marksmanship.
It is no wonder that marksmanship is one of the most basic skills of all soldiers. The quality of marksmanship can well reflect the combat effectiveness of soldiers.
Gao Jiu was still satisfied with the school's arrangement because it was a solemn occasion after all, and it was impossible to let Gao Jiu struggle in front of everyone, as it would be indecent. It would be a very elegant thing to show his marksmanship in front of everyone.
Gao Jiu asked: "Are there any specific rules?"
The host of the conference said: "There are also many excellent shooters in our school. They hope to discuss shooting skills with Mr. Gao. I wonder if Mr. Gao is willing?"
Hearing this, Gao Jiu was secretly funny. The Americans were competitive. Their arrangements were, on the one hand, to see Gao Jiu's legendary marksmanship, and on the other hand, they also had the idea of winning in secret. If the Americans could tie with Gao Jiu, or even surpass Gao Jiu, this would make them more satisfied.
Gao Jiu agreed very much and said that he could start now.
The Americans secretly took their minds and sent two contestants. These two contestants were extraordinary. One contestant was a shooting instructor at the xi Point Military Academy and was recognized as the number one shooting expert in the xi Point Military Academy.
Another player has a bigger background, and he was the champion of the 1936 Olympic foul shooting competition. During the war, they also had to serve in the military. Therefore, this Olympic champion is now a student of Xi Point Military Academy.
Seeing the two representatives sent by the school, the faculty and staff of Xi Point Military Academy were full of expectations.
In order for everyone to see clearly, the three shooting players stood on the rostrum.
The first one to appear was the shooting instructor of the military academy, who was a lieutenant colonel of the Mid-rank army. He first walked to the front of the stage and signaled the students to release the flying saucer.
The students released a UFO. The shooting instructor raised his gun to track the flight of the UFO. He aimed at shooting, and exploded the UFO.
Then the students released two flying saucers one after another, and all shot them.
The shooting instructor lived up to expectations, and his wonderful performance won warm applause from the audience.
Gao Jiu also applauded politely and expressed his appreciation.
Next is the Olympic champion. He did not shoot when the UFO reaches its highest point, but when the UFO starts to fall, he explodes the UFO. This is a bit more difficult than the shooting instructor.
The people present, except for Xiao Yatong and other few, were all experts. Seeing this, they burst into warm applause.
Next, the Olympic champion made a gesture, and the students released two UFOs at the same time. At the beginning, the direction was the same, but after reaching the air, they were affected by the resistance of the air and the differences between the UFOs themselves, and the two UFOs began to disperse. It was very difficult to hit two UFOs in a very short time.
After all, the Olympic champion is the world's top expert. He calmly knocked down one UFO, then chased another UFO, shot it with one shot, smashing it to pieces.
The audience in the audience was sensation and applauded desperately. If it weren't for the military academy's regulations, those American soldiers would definitely whistle.
Next, it was Gao Jiu's turn. Everyone looked at Gao Jiu and was a little gloating. They felt that no matter how Gao Jiu performed, he could not surpass these two shooters anymore. At most, he would be tied. Perhaps Gao Jiu might make mistakes because the first two players performed too well and were under pressure, so that they could satisfy their little bad wishes.
For a soldier, they usually use the same gun and will be very familiar with the performance of the gun. For professional shooting players, they will have their own special guns.
Gao Jiu came to the United States and did not carry weapons. He was not familiar with the characteristics of this gun, which was a disadvantage for him.
Gao Jiu said to the shooting instructor: "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, can you lend me your gun?"
The shooting instructor readily agreed and handed the gun to Gao Jiu.
Everyone looked at Gao Jiu, not knowing how he should perform. Xiao Yatong saw the shooting performance of the two contestants just now, and she was worried about Gao Jiu.
The gun in the shooting instructor's hand was selected by him and he also carefully corrected it by himself. It was his beloved thing.
He thought Gao Jiu was not familiar with the performance of his gun, and in this case, it was a bit unfair to Gao Jiu. He was a proud soldier and kindly reminded: "Mr. Gao, I suggest you test the performance of this gun first."
Gao Jiu smiled faintly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, no need."
After thinking about it, Gao Jiu said to the host: "Please find a piece of black cloth."
The host suddenly understood Gao Jiu’s intention and said in surprise: “Mr. Gao, are you sure you want to shoot blindfolded?"
Gao Jiu nodded with a smile.
The host explained to the staff around him, and soon someone brought a piece of black cloth.
He stood behind Gao Jiu and carefully covered Gao Jiu's eyes.
Gao Jiu's actions suddenly shocked everyone present. They looked at Gao Jiu in disbelief. Basically, no one believed that Gao Jiu could hit the flying saucer in this state.
Gao Jiu held the gun in both hands and said, "Let's start."
With a "buzz", a flying saucer flew into the sky.
Gao Jiu listened and clarified the speed and direction of the flying saucer. He raised his hand and shot him, smashing the flying saucer in the air into pieces.
At this moment, there was a silence in the audience. Gao Jiu's performance was completely beyond people's expectations, and everyone could not react for a moment.
"Huahu, Huahu." After a moment, warm applause burst out from the audience.
Next, Gao Jiu signaled to release two UFOs at the same time.
Two UFOs rose into the air and gradually separated in the air. Gao Jiu shot one UFO with one shot, and the other UFO flew into the distance.
Gao Jiu did not shoot, causing the flying saucer to fly further and further, and it was about to land. Everyone was looking forward to Gao Jiu's wonderful performance, and when he saw this situation, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
At this moment, Gao Jiu raised his hand and shot the flying saucer that was about to land was smashed to pieces.
Gao Jiu's performance completely shocked everyone present, and they applauded desperately.
The American soldiers whistled excitedly without caring about the regulations of the military academy.
This wonderful shooting performance left a deep impression on the faculty and staff and students of Xi Point Military Academy. This incident aroused great interest from the media, and they exaggerated it.
Gao Jiu rescued tens of thousands of American prisoners of war and performed wonderfully at Xi Point Military Academy, which won honors for the vast number of Chinese people and greatly improved the Chinese's status in the minds of the American people.
The Chinese community in New York came to visit Gao Jiu and invited Gao Jiu to visit Chinatown. They hoped that Gao Jiu could help the Chinese people here.
Gao Jiu agreed that the industry under Xiao Yatong's name could provide employment opportunities for Chinese people here, and invest 500,000 meters of gold to improve the living conditions of Chinese people here, and to build a primary school.
Gao Jiu's behavior has been widely praised by the majority of Chinese people.
At this time, it was a war period after all, and there would definitely be Japanese spies in the United States and even in New York.
Gao Jiu is in the limelight in New York, and Xiao Yatong and Gao Jiu are well-known. Gao Jiu has to worry about the safety of Xiao Yatong and Xiao Yuanshan.
To this end, he specially invited Columbia and Miller to help recruit a group of retired veterans of the Haibao Commando to serve as bodyguards for Xiao Yatong and Xiao Yuanshan.
Due to lack of work skills, retired veterans of the Mi Army are not easy to find good jobs, and some even find it difficult to find jobs.
After the haibao commando team retired, although their work opportunities were better, most of them worked as security guards and their salaries were generally not high.
Gao Jiu's treatment is far higher than that of ordinary bodyguards in society, and also provides them with generous benefits such as housing, medical care, insurance and paid annual leave.
Miller was very concerned about the lives of the retired veterans of the Haibao Commando. He was very happy about this. Soon, he helped Gao Jiu recruit 30 retired members of the Haibao Commando with rich security work experience. Gao Jiu personally conducted a test on them and was very satisfied.
Not only that, Gao Jiu also made contact with the New York City Police Department through Miller and others and donated $500,000.
The New York police agreed to Gao Jiu to strengthen the safety of Xiao Yatong's industries and employees of the company.
Even so, Gao Jiu felt a little worried and specially bought three Lincoln brand high-end bulletproof sedans to ensure their travel safety.
Xiao Yatong felt very happy when she saw all her husband did for her.
Gao Jiu is leaving New York. The bigwigs from all walks of life in the United States, members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and many media reporters, were all here to see Gao Jiu off after hearing the news at the airport.
Gao Jiu delivered a enthusiastic speech at the airport, thanking the people who came to see them off, and then boarded the transport plane provided by the US Navy and left the military airport in New York.
The news that Gao Jiu left the United States soon reached the ears of Japanese spies, who passed the news to the Japanese base camp.
The base camp believed that this was a rare opportunity to get rid of Gao Jiu, so it issued an order to the Japanese Navy to intercept Gao Jiu's plane on the way, shoot it down, and eliminate Gao Jiu.
The Japanese Navy is also very enthusiastic about eliminating Gao Jiu, because the Japanese army, navy and air force have deep conflicts. The Japanese army and air force cannot eliminate Gao Jiu. If the Japanese Navy can eliminate Gao Jiu, then this contribution can be used to attack the Japanese army and air force.
Not only that, the Japanese Navy also hated Gao Jiu very much. Gao Jiu once blew up many of their gunboats on the Yangtze River. He sank a Japanese Navy destroyer at the mouth of the Mekong River, and blew up a destroyer and a frigate at the port of Manila, Luzon. The Japanese Navy had long wanted to destroy Gao Jiu to avenge him.
The Japanese Navy also knew that Gao Jiu was difficult to deal with. In order to ensure that Gao Jiu could be eliminated, they paid a lot of money and actually sent a special Japanese Navy fleet including an aircraft carrier to the Coral Sea area between Guam of the Mid-American army and Yunnan in China, preparing to intercept Gao Jiu on the way.
On the day Gao Jiu left the United States, the CIA received a suspicious radio signal. Although they could not translate the radio signal content they received in a short period of time, they believed that this matter should be related to Gao Jiu, because Gao Jiu left New York today, which was a very sensational thing, so they made a judgment related to Gao Jiu.
The CIA informed the US Navy of this information and asked them to forward the information to Gao Jiu.
In fact, when Gao Jiu left New York, he also had such concerns. He knew his position in the minds of the Japanese and took precautions for this.
After receiving a telegram from the CIA, Gao Jiu became more alert. When the transport plane arrived at the Mid-East Naval Base in Guam, Gao Jiu did not refuel here as originally planned and flew directly to China, but stopped for the time being.
At Gao Jiu's request, the US Navy Air Force sent a reconnaissance plane to the Coral Sea area for reconnaissance.
The Mi army's reconnaissance plane reached the edge of the Coral Sea. According to Gao Jiu's prior reminder, the pilot did not continue to fly forward, but hovered in this area, using radio stations to test, and collect radio signals in the sea ahead.
Sure enough, the pilot of the reconnaissance aircraft received a lot of radio signals. After returning, he reported the situation to his superiors. After analysis and judgment, he concluded that there was a Japanese fleet including at least one aircraft carrier in the Coral Sea area.
If Gao Jiu still flies according to the original route, he will definitely be intercepted by the Japanese Navy Air Force on the way.
