"I guess I will leave soon." Qin Baoshan looked at his wife in front of him and told her seriously: "This time I will leave for at least three months, maybe longer."
Hearing Qin Baoshan's words, Wei Shuqin had a smile on her face: "I already know. Go as you should. This time the responsibility is heavy. Don't miss home, everything is safe at home, and I will take care of the factory. When something happens, you can discuss it with Political Commissar Zhao. He is also a very intelligent person and has seen the world."
Qin Baoshan was a little strange: "Aren't you worried?" In the past, every time Qin Baoshan went out, Wei Shuqin was terribly worried. Qin Baoshan found it strange that he didn't show such an expression this time.
Hearing Qin Baoshan's question, Wei Shuqin shook her head: "Of course I am worried. But worrying now is different from worrying before. I was worried before because I didn't know where you were. Now I am worried that I already know where you are Yes, and it is an order from the superior. So how can I show a worried look in front of you! This will increase your psychological burden. I will let you know that I can accept anything you do. If you If anything happens, I will avenge you. It doesn't matter who the enemy is or where it is."
Just like when Qin Baoshan wanted to fly to Japan, Wei Shuqin also said the same. Qin Baoshan knew that she could do the same. Having such a wife moved Qin Baoshan very much. He said to Wei Shuqin: "Don't worry, there shouldn't be any problems. Major Cromlin will always be with me. I will go to various places in the United States, but it's a pity that I can't take you with me this time." gone."
Wei Shuqin smiled: "I have already said, I will not leave here. It is more appropriate for you to take Political Commissar Zhao than me. Political Commissar Zhao already knows his mission, right?"
Wei Shuqin is so smart. Of course I understood Zhao Gang's intention. Qin Baoshan nodded: "Yes. On the surface, his task is to translate between the American instructors and our students."
In fact, to go to the United States for training, it is best to be able to understand and speak English. This is the most convenient way to communicate directly. After all, it is like the time and space where Qin Baoshan used to be. He would often send people to Russia for training, and the people who went there All speak Russian. It's a pity that there is still a shortage of talents in the ranks of the Eighth Route Army. Those who are fit to fly a plane need a fairly high level of physical fitness, and these people are poorly literate. It is not easy to find some people with a certain level of education. If you want to ask them to speak English, it is even more difficult. So we had to add a dedicated translator.
Although Qin Baoshan can be an interpreter, he is the team leader after all. And obviously, after he goes to the United States, there will be various activities waiting for him, and he doesn't necessarily stay in the aviation school every day. So there must be a dedicated translator. To the American side, of course, Zhao Gang cannot be said to be engaged in politics, but he must be said to be an interpreter. As for what Zhao Gang needs to do after going there, he will soon understand that he will definitely be qualified for the job.
When Qin Baoshan came back this time, he bid farewell to his wife. Not long after, Qin Baoshan boarded the plane to the United States. This can be regarded as the largest operation of the Eighth Route Army to send students abroad. A b-25 bomber requires five crew members. 30 crew members, that's 150 personnel. Then add 30 pilots, plus some accompanying personnel, and it will be close to 200 people.
These people were so mighty, they took several c-47 transport planes and made several rounds before arriving at McCord Base in Washington State, USA. After they got down, everyone's eyes widened when they saw the spectacular scene in the entire base!
They never thought that an aviation base could be so big. The runway here is ten times that of the aviation school in Yan'an. The apron is more than a hundred times larger. On the wide apron, one after another of the planes looked densely packed.
This is like a countryman coming to a big city for the first time and seeing everything in the big city. People are dumbfounded. Seeing everyone's appearance, Major Cromlin, who brought them along, hurriedly introduced them enthusiastically.
"Because it is a time of war, all aviation schools in our country are in a state of tension and are training a large number of students. In order to accept our friends, we have specially set aside a part of the space here and hired special instructors to give our friends Training. I hope you can master the operation of these aircraft as soon as possible. Now, I will take you to the dormitory first, we need to walk across the apron so that we can see all the way."
Although they just came here, everyone is full of energy. None of them were jet-lag-tired, and they were all delighted to hear that they were going to visit along the way.
"Everyone line up and show our military strength.? Military appearance. Qin Baoshan said: "Don't embarrass our Eighth Route Army." "Among these Americans, their yellow-skinned faces are very strange. Their coarse clothes are also very different. Now that they have just got off the plane, it is time to make a first impression on these Americans, so all People lined up neatly and walked forward with strides.
Wei Dayong followed behind Qin Baoshan, watching all the way, and sometimes smelling it with his nose. Qin Baoshan knew that he probably started to want to eat again, but Qin Baoshan had been fooling him with American-style western food.
"This is our B-24 bomber. This is a heavy bomber." Major Kromlin looked at the passing planes and introduced to Qin Baoshan: "The 17th Bomber Unit is operating these planes. , they are about to fly to Europe."
Of course Qin Baoshan knows that the Americans own various types of bombers. Their common b-25 bomber is a medium bomber, and the b-24 seen in front of them is a heavy bomber. As for the difference between medium and heavy, you only need to look at the number of engines on the wings. A two-engine bomber is a medium-engine bomber, and a four-engine bomber is a heavy bomber. There are only a few special cases. For example, the Germans strongly demand that their heavy bombers also have dive bombing capabilities, so the designer in charge of the development has no choice but to connect the two engines in series, and then hang them on the side of the wing. On the board, the layout of two propellers was abruptly made.
Heavy bombers are a strategic force, so the Americans value them very much. This kind of b-24 is not the most advanced. The b-29 bomber that the Americans are currently developing is a highly confidential project, and even the Soviets don't want to come.
Qin Baoshan looked up and looked at the densely packed fleet of b-24 bombers. Suddenly, his eyes swept across a group of people. A group of people with the same yellow skin. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
