"Are you drunk already?" The woman asked Qin Baoshan, her words were full of concern, and at the same time, she waved her hand in front of Qin Baoshan.
Qin Baoshan shook his head. The wine was eccentric, but not high in alcohol. If you are used to drinking high-grade wine made from grain, drinking this wine is no different from drinking water. Qin Baoshan just felt a little strange, and didn't know why a woman suddenly appeared.
Seeing Qin Baoshan¡¯s surprise at this time, Major Kromlin and several officers of the Jinsui Army came over after drinking, and said to Qin Baoshan, ¡°Let me introduce you. This is Jackie.¡± Ms Lynn Cochrane, she"
"She is the greatest female pilot in the United States." Qin Baoshan took over Major Cromlin's words and said to the other party. Qin Baoshan said while raising his glass: "It is a great honor to see the greatest aircraft carrier in the United States." The female pilot." After speaking, Qin Baoshan put the wine glass to his mouth and gulped it down.
When Qin Baoshan said this, an excited expression appeared on the face of the female pilot Cochran opposite. She couldn't believe it, the person opposite was an ordinary person on the eastern battlefield, how could he know his name?
But she was very happy. The other party knew who she was. Such a voice of praise, coming from an oriental person, had a different meaning.
Major Cromlin on the side was completely surprised. When he heard that the Eighth Route Army was coming, Cochran came here on purpose. Cochran and Doolittle test-fly aerial refueling together. When she heard that this technology was designed by a military engineer of the Eighth Route Army, she was full of anticipation and wanted to meet this amazing man. When Qin Baoshan and the others came over today, Major Cromlin called Cochrane, so Cochrane flew over by plane. After coming down, it was time for dinner. Cochran, wearing the clothes of a female pilot, came directly to Qin Baoshan. He came over with a glass of wine, and before introducing himself, the other party had already told Cochrane's origin.
The greatest female pilot in the United States, this title is not too much for Cochrane.
Cochrane was not born into an aristocratic family. Her parents died when she was young, and she was adopted by others. The conditions of her adoptive parents' family were also not good, so when she was eight years old, she went to work as a worker in a cotton textile factory. She did a lot of work after that. After finally stabilizing, she became a great hairdresser, but she had a dream of flying. After hard work, Cochran finally became a pilot and has been out of control ever since.
In the years before the start of World War II, aircraft designers around the world were in pursuit of speed. They are designed to be tested by pilots. Cochrane was one such test pilot.
In 1938, she set one of the two speed records that year by flying a racing plane modified from a P-35. She once crossed North America in 10 hours, 25 minutes and 55 seconds. She was also the first woman to participate in the Bendix Transcontinental Flying Competition, and also won the championship of this project.
When the war came, Cochran also joined the war. She once crossed the Atlantic and flew to England. It was in England that she saw local women pilots begin to be trained. So she was very encouraged, and after returning home, she suggested to General Arnold to recruit female pilots into the army. After all, wars need people to fight. Even if the United States can manufacture a large number of bombers, it must have pilots to fly them.
War and women are also related, everyone is in war, without exception. In this era, the status of women in almost all countries in the world is not particularly high. Cochrane is working hard to improve the status of women and allow women to play more and more roles in the war.
These contributions are enough to make Cochran the greatest female pilot in the United States. At this time, Qin Baoshan called her like this, which of course made her very happy. She asked Qin Baoshan strangely: "How do you know me?" Thousands of miles away in China, a person knew that Cochrane was the greatest female pilot in the United States, which is really unbelievable.
Qin Baoshan smiled: "In our Eighth Route Army. There is no discrimination against women. Women, like men, can hold up half the sky. My wife is also a soldier of the Eighth Route Army. She went to the battlefield like ordinary soldiers and shed blood. Fight hard. My wife is also very yearning to fly, so she inquired about you, an American female flying hero, and took you as a role model."
After finishing speaking, Qin Baoshan took out a notebook from his pocket by magic, and said to Cochrane: "Now please sign it for me, and I will take it back to my wife."
Qin Baoshan's words completely fooled Cochrane, her face was full of excitement: "Women hold up half the sky, you are right!" Unexpectedly, in far away China, there are a woman is her fanWoolen cloth.
While signing quickly, Cochrane said to Qin Baoshan: "It's really a pity. It would be great if she could come to us. I will teach her to fly myself."
This matter has nothing to do with Wei Shuqin. If the two meet directly, they will definitely have to pass through. Qin Baoshan's excuse of his wife just happened to be able to explain all this logically. In fact, the one who knew about this female pilot was of course Qin Baoshan himself. Qin Baoshan knew that Cochrane was not only famous during the war, but also very famous after the war.
Seeing the chaotic situation at the scene, Qin Baoshan poured another glass of wine, and then said, "Let's go to the window to chat."
Thanks to this woman. With this woman by his side, the other men felt embarrassed to come over and toast Qin Baoshan. Qin Baoshan just used this woman to block other men. After all, Wei Dayong is not full yet, so Qin Baoshan can't slip away now. Wei Dayong not only had to eat, but also had to take something back with him. So now that Qin Baoshan leaves his seat, it will also be convenient for Wei Dayong to take the lead.
When he came to the window, Qin Baoshan continued: "You came to see me, is there anything specific?"
There are no American female pilots at this base. Of course, Cochrane came here to find Qin Baoshan for other purposes. Even if Major Cromlin publicized how capable Qin Baoshan is, it wouldn't have such a big influence.
Sure enough, Cochrane said: "I am currently testing aerial refueling technology. This technology is very good. But there are also some shortcomings, such as the speed of refueling is still not fast enough. When two planes dock for refueling, the danger will be greatly increased. .It would be nice if there was a faster refueling technology." (Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com
