Chennard, who was almost 47 years old, ended his 20-year fighter pilot in the U.S. Army Air Force. After more than four months, he arrived in Shanghai with his sub-healthy body, accepted the invitation and employment of Mrs. Song, and served as the flight instructor of the Central Aviation School in Jianqiao, Hangzhou. In fact, the recruitment conditions given to him by Mrs. Song had already been given to him as early as 1928 by the Soviet army officers.

At that time, the Soviet army officers watched the performance of the airborne troops he commanded, and then discussed with Chennard where to recruit him to serve as a flight instructor.

Unfortunately, Chennard, who was determined to build the world's number one air force for the United States, did not accept it, but just refused tactfully.

It was not until later that he disliked and conflicted the US Air Force during peacetime and did not value it that after retirement, he arrived in China as an instructor with a tired mentality.

But this time, Xu Lang came to find Chennard at the right time!

Why?

Because the Air Force, which has only been established for five years, has encountered some major problems.

The first big problem is that the aircraft assembly factory built by the Italians in Nanchang is a big scam that cheats money.

The aircraft they provided to China Aviation School and China Air Force were all outdated, such as the "Eagle Eater" bombers produced in Italy, which are old and old goods that can be used as transport aircraft.

Even the Hawk-2 fighter jets that Italy boast about are old goods and are not opponents of the Japanese aviation army at all. Even many of the deceptive garbage aircraft provided by Italy cannot be used on the battlefield.

So on the way to Hangzhou to meet Chennard, Xu Lang had already planned to not have Italian planes and instead donate American P-26 fighter jets.

I just don’t know if the Americans are willing to sell these aircraft to him, because after the Fujian Incident in 1934, the US military immediately gradually retracted its aviation technology and equipment export trade with China.

In addition to being cheated by Italians for buying garbage and old aircraft, the Chinese Air Force has also been implicated to establish a "paper air force" before the War of Resistance Against Japan.

Because there are 500 Chinese aircraft on paper, but in fact only 91 are available for combat use, and it is not as powerful as the Japanese aircraft.

Moreover, the pilots trained by the aviation school established in Italy are simply rich children who have not even passed the minimum basic skills.

If these unqualified pilots like old men were allowed to go to the battlefield to engage in air combat, they would probably not even be qualified to be cannon fodder and would be in vain to die.

In short, the Chinese Air Force on the eve of the Battle of Shanghai was simply cheated by the Italians and became a tiger on paper, and there was no way to fight against the powerful Japanese Air Force.

Therefore, Xu Lang's appearance this time is really a rare opportunity for the Chinese Air Force in a century, and a very suitable time.

Especially when the West has strict control over the import and export of aircraft equipment and technologies in Eastern countries, it can be said that the Chinese Air Force is in the most difficult situation.

Even the former warlords established the Huajiao Air Force with the help and support of the great powers such as Britain, France, the United States, Italy, and Russia. Most of the pilots they recruited were foreigners and foreign instructors. The aircraft they used were old aircraft of foreign powers, and the air force they formed was also very limited.

Compared with what the Chinese Air Force did not have in later generations,

As for China in the Republic of China era, it was simply a dream and a fantasy.

When Xu Lang arrived in Hangzhou under the escort of his bodyguard team, Duan Na, a journalist who supported the Chinese War of Resistance Against Japan, had just met and chatted with Chennard and left.

"I really didn't expect that the situation of the airline schools and planes in China had been harmed by those bastard Italians!"

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it!"

"It seems that it is not easy to come to China to serve as a pilot instructor!"

Looking at the Duanna reporter who left in a car, Chennard couldn't help but sigh.

Because at this time, he also learned through some channels that the Italians sold a lot of old aircraft to the Chinese Air Force, and saw some unqualified pilots trained in Italy in some pilot training grounds.

So he sighed in depression.

"Forget it! Anyway, I can't wipe their butts for what the Italians do!"

"And now I am just a Chinese pilot instructor who has no rights!"

"Just live your own life!"

Finally, Chennard breathed a sigh of relief and smiled helplessly.

Chennard is not optimistic about China's air force construction without the help and support of the United States.

For him, American aircraft and the Air Force are what he cares most about because he is an American and his nationality.

Everyone will have patriotism.

It’s a pity that the United States is in an era of peace now, and there are not many visionary people willing to strengthen the construction of the US military’s air force.

Such a situation will not be until the outbreak of World War II, especially when the Pacific War broke out, and when the US military saw that Pearl Harbor was blown up by the powerful Japanese air force, it will truly pay attention to the construction of the aviation army.

In fact, even if Chennard is willing to be optimistic about the construction of the China Air Force, it is not possible because China has no ability to develop and produce its own aircraft.

Even if there is, it is still a scarce product, and it is not as powerful and advanced as others' science and technology.

There is even less science and technology, aircraft production lines, and aircraft factories for large-scale development and production.

When Chennard was full of disappointment about the construction of the Chinese aircraft and the aviation army, he suddenly saw the luxury car team of Xu Lang who had been driving for more than 8 hours before he arrived in Hangzhou.

Because there were many places that could not pass through cars during the Republic of China, Xu Lang used sea transportation and various means to drive his luxury car team to Hangzhou.

If he had known that it was so hard, he would have asked him to buy him a good car in Hangzhou, so he would not have to spend so much time and hard self-driving tours on his own.

"Huh!"

"What kind of motor team is that? Who is coming?"

Seeing this, Chennard's attention was immediately attracted by Xu Lang's luxury car team's lineup, and he muttered to himself intently.

During the Republic of China, foreign cars represented the identity and status of wealthy gentry and celebrities. Even the officer class sometimes compared them by looking at cars.

All cars from globally renowned brands such as Ford, Chevrolet, Buick, Lincoln, Cadillac, and Mercedes-Benz were owned and driven by Xu Lang's car team.

If it weren't for not having the most fashionable Willis American military jeep of the American soldiers, Chennard would have thought that the rich and powerful foreigner had appeared, and it was their American big boss who came.

But while Chennard was still watching, this mysterious, luxurious and stunning team suddenly stopped and stopped not far in front of him.

Then he suddenly exclaimed that "God" happened,

Because he saw a Chinese man wearing a black high-end suit and getting off the car and smiling at him.

"Oh my God!"

"O God!"

"Are all Chinese people so rich nowadays?"

"Can you actually have such a luxurious lineup of cars and bodyguards?"

Chennard was shocked by Xu Lang and the tall bodyguard team following him, shocked and stunned, with unbelievable expression on his face.

At the same time, Chennard couldn't help but touch his not-so-rich wallet, and he felt sad when he thought about it.

When he was not an instructor, he relied on his farm and property, and he also had about $300 a month for living expenses.

After becoming a pilot instructor in China, although he can get a monthly salary of US$1,000 and a high salary that can be reimbursed for free.

But now he felt that comparing to Xu Lang's rich man, he was simply a poor person.

"Are you Mr. Chennard?"

Looking at Chennard who was still stunned, Xu Lang, who had already walked in front of the other side, greeted him with a bright smile.

Moreover, the English used by Xu Lang is still in standard American English.

Upon hearing this, Chennard was even more surprised by Xu Lang's ability and identity.

Because during the Republic of China, people who could speak such standard and fluent American English were all from those who were not rich but noble.

If ordinary civilians without money and power are not able to understand English at all, and they will not even have the opportunity to read and read.

Because the poor can’t even solve the problem of food and clothing, can they still get money to study?

So Chennard immediately became full of doubts and curiosity about Xu Lang's identity.

"I am!"

"Who are you? Do we know each other? Sir!"

After a long time, Chennard immediately came to his senses and responded.

"My name is Su Feiyang!"

"I am here to meet you today. I hope to donate a comparison of money to your Air Force by knowing you, so that you can buy Mi-style fighters - P-26 fighters and Hawke-3 fighters!"

"I wonder if we can talk about it? Instructor Chennard!"

Su Feiyang smiled straight to the point.

"What!"

Upon hearing this, Chennard exclaimed as if he was shocked.

At the same time, his eyes were also wide open, his breathing was so rapid that it was scary, and his face was full of surprise.

Because the American P-26 fighter is an excellent fighter jet that the US military was involved in the eve of World War II, although it is not as superior as the P-35a fighter jet that was fully redesigned in the summer of 1941.

However, in 1936, it was still better than the old aircraft of the Italian Hawk-2 fighter jets.

The p-26 fighter was the fastest fighter in the world in 1935 and 1936. Its appearance provided a new development direction for aerospace science and technology in the United States and even countries around the world, and opened the prelude to the great development and great improvement of the aerospace industry of various powerful countries.

Moreover, it became an outdated P-26 fighter in the late stage of a certain war. The Mid-American Filipino pilots drove it over Batangas to shoot down a Japanese Mitsubishi    g3m2
