baba changes, history, history that changes.

The first generation of China's air force was amazing. They drove rudimentary and backward planes, guarded territory, and fought fierce enemies in the sky. They gave their young lives. They are the elite of the elite, the hero of the hero, everyone knows , a pilot is much more precious than an aircraft, and it is better to lose an aircraft than a pilot.

But in that era, we could only use those precious young lives to fight to the death with our opponents, because the country was at stake and the nation’s life was hanging by a thread. There were always some noble people who had to sacrifice for the people and the future. They either collided and perished together, or fell into a tight siege after shooting down their opponents, or committed suicide after running out of ammunition and fuel. Behind every name, there is a living life, and it is a legendary legend.

As early as the early 1930s, Chiang Kai-shek had a premonition that Japan was planning a large-scale war of aggression against China, and launched a nationwide campaign to donate money to buy planes. Because it was just the 50th birthday, local regimes in the Republic of China tried every means to publicize and call on the public to "donate" to buy planes. , including Shanghai's underworld boss Du Yuesheng, who assisted Chiang Kai-shek in issuing "air tickets" and called on ordinary people to donate money for the country.

So, he soon donated a huge sum of money. If calculated according to the price at the time, it was enough to buy more than 1,300 advanced aircrafts produced in the United States and Germany. These are all people living on a budget, and every cent is for the prosperity of the country and the defense against Japanese aggression. The accumulated money is used to buy planes for the country.

However, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, when Chiang Kai-shek asked the then Air Force Commander Zhou Zhirou about the number of Air Force planes that could be used to fight against Japan, Zhou opened the air force allocation table, but Jiang was taken aback: all the various planes that the Chinese Air Force could use at that time , only 305!! More than 1000 less.

So, why didn't these more than 1,000 planes be purchased? You must know that the main person in charge of purchasing the planes with donations was Song Meiling, who was then the director of the Aviation Committee of the Chinese Air Force and held the rank of lieutenant general.

It turned out that when Song Meiling was negotiating cooperation with an American aircraft manufacturer, someone said to her, "The aircraft is being replaced too fast now. If you buy it now, you will soon fall behind. It is better to save the money first and buy it when the war breaks out." Song Meiling believes that It makes sense to deposit the bulk of these "donations" into the account of the Bank of China in New York, and she privately credits a large part to her own name. Soong Meiling is the person in charge, but the specific operator is Kong Lingwei, the second miss of Kong. These two beauties, who love money as much as their lives, put the money from the Air Force to buy planes into a private bank account for interest.

The boss is doing this, and the following will definitely be effective. In the purchased planes, the shrinkage is serious. When negotiating prices with American aircraft manufacturers, Kong Lingwei was able to push down the $100,000 aircraft to $80,000 each. Of course, every penny gets what you pay for, and the American manufacturer is not polite, dropping the power of the aircraft engine from 1,000 hp to 800 hp. The difference of $20,000 per plane was "deposited" into Miss Kong Er's personal account.

And how do they usually deceive Chiang Kai-shek? They let the planes take off and land every day, repaint and paint, and take off repeatedly, so that Chiang Kai-shek sees waves of "new planes".

It is said that after Chiang Kai-shek knew about it, he immediately sent someone to investigate the handler and the custodian of the plane at that time, and finally found that most of the planes of the Chinese Air Force at that time had the words "Oct1928 (factory in 1928)" (at this time Jiang Song Meiling was not married enough). One year), Jiang was furious, and immediately issued a secret order to Dai Li: "clear" all the personnel in the hangar of the aircraft. As for how much Kong Lingwei made in this "purchase of the plane", maybe only God knows.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, I took the money to buy planes, but I couldn't buy them anymore. The whole world was in a crisis of war, and the landlords' families had no surplus food. In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Chinese Air Force could only drive old planes to the sky to fight the Japanese invaders. It was not until the arrival of the Soviet Air Aid to China and the U.S. Flying Tigers that the pressure from the sky was relieved.

If this money is really used to develop the Air Force early, why go to die early? China's first air force were all real heroes, but it was not only the Japanese who killed the heroes, but also the stupid and evil Nationalist government.

In addition, Soong Meiling often went to the army during the Anti-Japanese War to "work the army", but she wore extremely luxurious clothes. She changed a cheongsam every day. The air force's hump route risked her life to transport materials. There were many Soong Meiling's personal items, such as pianos and other luxury goods.

We hate the Kuomintang government now, not because they didn’t fight, they did fight, but they were stupid, corrupt, and didn’t have self-awareness. They didn’t treat the common people and the soldiers at the bottom as human beings. They didn’t really want to fight, but fantasized about it. , call the European and American powers to see, let the young lives die in vain. They did not have a realistic strategic plan, nor did they have relevant political propaganda. In the eyes of the common people, the Kuomintang army, which burned, killed, looted, and killed tens of millions of people, was even worse than the Japanese invaders. Sun Liren's new army was called the "New Japanese Army" by the common people, while Tang Enbo's army was in Henan, and was called one of the four major evils by the common people as "water, drought and yellow soup".

Mr. Jiang Menglin, who was the president of the Chinese Red Cross at the time of the Anti-Japanese War, said: "During the eight-year period of the Anti-Japanese War, there were no less than 14 million strong men who died before joining the army." This number is more than the Chinese soldiers who died under the fire of Japanese swords and guns during the Anti-Japanese War.

Since the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the U.S. government has been giving aid to Chiang Kai-shek, especially after Soong Meiling’s speech in the U.S. Congress, the Americans even donated money directly to Jiang Song. They have received billions of dollars in aid from the United States.

However, so much money was not really used to save the country during the war of resistance against Japan. The four major families and their assholes shamelessly shared the money, including $750,000, which went into Song Meiling's private pockets. Are extremely angry.

On the eve of the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the loyalty of the officials of the Nationalist government to the government had disappeared. The government is getting more and more greedy, even treason financially, printing money insatiably, making China's exchange rate against the US dollar down to only a few millionths. Many Nationalist troops were forced to beg for no pay, but U.S. diplomats found that military supplies sent from the U.S. to China sometimes appeared on the black market as soon as they arrived in China.

Even during the most tense moments of the war, Ms. Jiang often left her husband, disappeared suddenly, and lived in New York for a few months.

In Shanghai, Ms. Jiang took to the streets as usual in her large stretched luxury car. At this time, Ms. Jiang was already making waves in Washington. Her powerful and enthusiastic speech in Congress drew thunderous applause, and she then Across the country, appearing in Madison Square Garden and Hollywood. But at the same time, she aroused the disgust of the American soldiers, especially when she returned to the wartime capital of Chongqing, with many suitcases, one of which was propped open, revealing the luxurious cosmetics, personal clothes and fashionable and expensive daily necessities inside. .

Other U.S. officials in China have also warned of corrupt practices by the Nationalist government. During the war, the United States supported China by more than three billion dollars, but most of it was handled by Song Ziwen, China's financial chief in Washington. Later, the facts showed that the Song family made the family very unhappy in order to divide the spoils of the US aid.

So much so that President Truman scolded: "They are thieves, everyone is a thief. They stole nearly $750 million from the billions we gave to the Chiang government. They stole this money. , investing that money in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and, right under our noses, in real estate in New York.”

Therefore, it is appropriate for us to commemorate the heroic spirits of the national army martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country, but we should not miss the Nanjing National Government that feared the sun like a tiger, adored the sun like a slave, was greedy and shameless, and harmed the people.

    National first-class director, it took 8 years, an epic bad film. Rough stories, bad special effects, fashion magazine makeup, sleepwalking performances by big stars. Fortunately, I didn't show up, or it was clearly assisting Xiao Cui.
