Chapter 266 Air Force Commander James
Zhang Heizi led Gu Wenxuan to the most confidential place on their island, which was the underground cave.
This cave is about two or three hundred meters deep from the ground. It is indeed very spacious inside, with branch caves everywhere. If there is no one to lead the way, you will probably get lost.
What's even more strange is that there is a stream of fresh water constantly gushing out of this cave.
This is a very strange thing. Logically speaking, there is sea all around them, so where would fresh water come from? If there is fresh water coming out, it means that the source of this fresh water must be very far away from the sea.
Therefore, Zhang Heizi and his group of pirates escaped the pursuit of several nearby government forces many times. Whenever they encountered a large number of navy chasing them, they hid in this cave. The entrance of the cave was sealed and no one could enter.
After seeing the cave, Gu Wenxiang was very satisfied with it. If this place could be used as their mysterious naval base, it would be a really good place.
Zhang Heizi now asked Gu Wenxuan: "God of Wealth, what are you doing here? Is there anything you need our help with?"
Gu Wenxuan said, "I ordered a few fighter planes in Europe and planned to trade them at a place called Central Island nearby! So I came here by boat overnight, and I didn't expect to run into you guys!"
Zhang Heizi heard this and said, "Oh, the central island you mentioned is 200 nautical miles away from here. There is a simple American airport there!"
Gu Wenxuan: "After daybreak, I will go to that place to transport the plane I bought back. As for you, I will come to visit from time to time.
I will also provide you with funds and weapons. You should try to expand your team. If you encounter a small Japanese navy, you should swallow it. If the enemy fleet is strong, you should find a place to hide and don't confront it head-on! "
Finally, Gu Wenxuan left a large pile of silver dollars with the pirate Zhang Lizi and rushed to the central island to collect his plane.
Zhang Heizi looked at Gu Wenxuan going away, and he felt that the trajectory of his life had been rewritten. He had originally thought that he would be a second-rate pirate for the rest of his life, and that might be the end of his life.
I didn't expect to meet this God of Wealth, who is so generous and has great ideals, and wants to establish a navy.
I originally thought that I was doing nothing, but I didn't expect that meeting this God of Wealth would rewrite my life. Could it be that I will become a famous naval commander in the future?
Originally, the pirate Zhang Heizi wanted to send a ship to take Gu Wenxuan to this central island.
However, Gu Wenxuan did not let the pirates send him off. He said he was afraid that they would be exposed too early. Now their strength was not enough, so they had to bide their time.
Gu Wenxuan and Chen Sijia rowed a small boat to the central island.
This time the boat they were rowing was a real boat, a small sampan that was only big enough for two or three people.
Although it had no power motor, with the help of Gu Wenxuan's special abilities, the small sampan was still able to move forward quickly on the rough sea like an arrow.
However, Gu Wenxuan and Chen Sijia had just reached the shore, stopped the boat, and jumped onto the shore.
A team of patrolling American soldiers immediately surrounded them with guns.
This central island was originally a small country in Southeast Asia, but was occupied by the US military.
This time, the five planes Sam bought with him were American-made Flying Fortress B-17 bombers.
So he transported the plane to this small island controlled by the US military to conduct the transaction.
The American soldiers surrounded him with their submachine guns raised, and Gu Wenxuan quickly took out the various certificates he had used to purchase the plane.
Explain to the American soldiers that you are here to trade planes.
The U.S. military patrol listened to Gu Wenxuan and his colleagues' explanation and looked at their various documents before taking them to the garrison headquarters at the airport.
They said they were living in the headquarters, but in fact it was just a few shabby houses. The island itself was not very large and there were no indigenous people.
There was only one squadron of theirs on the entire island, with about 300 people.
However, there are quite a few planes on it, about seventy or eighty.
When Gu Wenxuan walked through the airport, he wanted to use his space to take all the planes here away with him, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do so. If he did so, it would probably become world news.
After all, Gu Wenxuan traveled through time from the future and knew that the U.S. military still had to contribute to World War II, so he had to keep them here. He estimated that in less than two years, these would be the bases for the massive bombing of Japan.
I met the commander of the U.S. Air Force Base on Central Island. His name is James and he is a tall and strong man.
Gu Wenxuan showed his receipt and certificate for purchasing the aircraft to Air Force Commander James.
James glanced at all his purchase contract documents casually, then said to Gu Wenxuan with a smile.
"Ah, friend, you are the owner of the plane. My name is James, and I am Sam's friend!"
Gu Wenxuan was shocked when he heard this. No wonder Sam chose this place for the transaction. It seemed that he wanted to bring in some income from James.
After Gu Wenxuan knew what Sam meant, he didn't blame him. After all, no matter where he placed the transaction, he would have to pay a little, and their business was not very legal after all.
Gu Wenxuan bought five Sky Fortress fighters at once, each costing about $5, spending a total of $8.
He had already asked Sam to pay the other party for the purchase of the planes. But now that he had received these five fighters, he still gave James a bonus of $5 for each fighter.
James did not hesitate and accepted the $5 generously.
James asked again: "I heard that you also want us to train a group of pilots for you?"
Gu Wenxuan said, "Yes, Commander James, although we have a plane, we don't have anyone who can fly it, so it's useless, right?"
James said: "This is easy to do. We have a lot of retired drivers. As long as you pay enough, I can recruit hundreds of them for you at any time!"
Gu Wenxuan asked James tentatively: "Then Commander James, how much salary do you think is needed each month to be safe?"
"Our fighter pilots need a salary of at least $2000 per month, and if they die in action, they must receive a $5 pension. If you agree, I will recruit you!"
Gu Wenxuan didn't think that James was asking for too much, and the price was reasonable.
"But my friend, you have to make other plans for the food of our pilots!
Our pilots' food standards are very high, and we have to airlift them from the United States, so you must be responsible for the cost.
Of course, you can also sign separate contracts with the soldiers to subsidize their food costs.
If they eat food from your country, then the cost must be subsidized to these soldiers!"
Gu Wenxuan finally understood what James said.
If the food for these air force pilots is to be airlifted from the United States, the cost would be a bit high. I'm afraid their salaries are not high and the food expenses would be huge.
He traveled through time from the future and knew that in a war in the future, American soldiers were fighting abroad, and the mineral water they drank was shipped from the country. It is said that a bottle of mineral water cost tens to 100 yuan. This damn water has become as expensive as gold.
But Gu Wenxuan had no other choice. What they lacked now was this kind of air force pilot, so he asked James: "General, how much subsidy should be given for your daily food expenses?"
James smiled and said: "If my pilots can get used to your Chinese food, then you can subsidize them 100 US dollars a day.
In total, you provide him with food and lodging, and each person must be paid $5000.”
The salary is $2000 and the food allowance is $3000. It is true that the food cost is more expensive than the salary!
