Chapter 91 Are you making fun of me?

"Reason? I am now the commander of Bamao. Isn't the reason very simple?" Cun Yunsheng looked at the other party and sneered.

"The Japanese army was about to arrive at Bhamo. In order not to leave the equipment to the Japanese, I decided to transport the plane back to Imphal. However, there was no pilot, so I could only ask for help from Leiyun Airport."

"As for why the plane arrived at Leiyun Airport, that's not my business."

"Perhaps the pilots at Leiyun Airport were worried about being shot down by Japanese fighter planes, so they decided to fly back first and wait for an opportunity to send them back later."

"I will be in Myitkyina by then, and this kind of nonsense will have nothing to do with me."

"Let me ask you, did these planes fall into the hands of the Japanese?"

"No? Then it can't be considered an enemy."

Cun Yunsheng's words made Meng Fan give him a thumbs up. He could only say that his own leader had taken shamelessness to the extreme.

He made all the crooked ideas sound very reasonable.

He was really convinced.

“You are this.”

Seeing this, Cun Yunsheng didn't say anything, but went to Major Taylor's office. He needed to know clearly how much wealth Bamao had.

The telegram from the other side soon arrived at Leiyun Airport.

At this time, at the airport garrison headquarters, Colonel Cun Xingfu was looking at the map of Myanmar. According to the intelligence currently collected, the Japanese army had already captured Tonggu.

The Sichuan Army’s battle record has not yet been spread.

There was no way. The Burmese expeditionary force suffered a crushing defeat along the way, and no one else knew about it except some high-ranking officials in the mountain city.

Not to mention, Cun Xingfu's level was not even up to that of senior military officers, so he had no idea about the news.

So he could only judge the situation in Myanmar through the news published in the newspapers.

"It's not good. The loss of Toungoo means that Myanmar has now entered a strategic stalemate."

"How did the 200th Division fight? Why couldn't it defend Tonggu?" Cun Xingfu had no idea what evil things the British army had done.

After all, such things that damage the image of the Allies must not be reported, otherwise it will have a great impact on morale.

Therefore, Cun Xingfu did not know the role played by the British Army, but simply thought that it was Tonggu that was lost by the 200th Division.

"Alas, I don't know where Yunsheng's Sichuan Army is. His ragtag army is probably destined to be cannon fodder. I hope he can be smarter and not be so stupid. If he encounters something wrong, he should run away immediately." Since the information was too scarce, Cun Xingfu could not analyze it further and then began to worry about Cun Yunsheng's safety.

After all, he is the third generation of the Cun family, and the only one to join the army.

So it will receive more attention.

"Sir, there is a letter from home for you." The adjutant walked in with the telegram he had just received and said loudly.

"A letter from home? Was it from the old man? He's already over 80, can't he just enjoy his old age? It's not his turn to worry about the war."

"Well, there's no doubt that he's asking if there's any news about Yunsheng." As he said that, Cun Xingfu opened the telegram, and the message he saw left him stunned.

The more he looked down, the more frightened he became. He even covered his heart with his hands. After a long time, he spoke while gasping for breath.

"This kid didn't bring a surprise, but a shock."

No wonder he said that, the record is really impressive.

They successively wiped out more than 3,000 Japanese troops, defeated the Japanese infantry regiment and heavy artillery regiment, wiped out an entire squadron, and severely damaged a battalion.

If it weren't for the limited transportation capacity, all the Japanese heavy artillery would be his.

Even so, Cun Xingfu was frightened by such a horrific record.

Even the Sichuan Army was designated as a unit directly under the Allied Command.

To be honest, if it weren't for Cun Yunsheng's solemn assurance, he would have suspected that someone was joking with him.

But then he became curious. Why didn't Shancheng publicize such a brilliant achievement?
After all, the British army suffered a crushing defeat and the expeditionary force also fought poorly. The Sichuan Army's performance was very outstanding and should be vigorously publicized.

Fortunately, the letter also explained to him that, first of all, the Sichuan Army Corps was affiliated to the 45th Army of the Sichuan Army.

Everyone is clear about the current situation of the Sichuan Army.

Since Liu Xiang's death, the Sichuan Army has been artificially split into several factions.

If the Sichuan Army's achievements are widely publicized, it will mean that the Sichuan Army may rise again.

This is something Shancheng doesn't want to see.

Secondly, the Sichuan Army Corps obeyed Stilwell's command without Shancheng's consent, which had angered Shancheng.

Therefore, Shancheng will only treat the Sichuan Army coldly, and don't expect to hear any praise.

The dilemma Cun Yunsheng is facing now is that he cannot return to Zenda.

If he comes back, he will lose everything.

And he was the hope for the rise of the Cun family, so he decided to lead his troops to Imphal and complete the reorganization there.

However, he has taken over a batch of fighter jets in Bhamo, and he wonders if his uncle is interested.

"I didn't expect this brat could do so many earth-shattering things." Colonel Cun Xingfu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

"If I can operate a few British planes, I still have a chance to be promoted to general officer."

Cun Xingfu was somewhat tempted by Cun Yunsheng's proposal, as he had been a colonel for a long time.

Even though he was the airport garrison commander, he was actually useless. He was not in charge of the movement of aircraft, he was only responsible for airport security.

If anything goes wrong, he becomes the scapegoat.

So he was still depressed and wanted to fight on the battlefield like Cun Yunsheng.

Especially when seeing that Cun Yunsheng had achieved such great achievements at such a young age, people were naturally extremely envious.

As for the later mention of wanting to send a few people over to learn how to fly an airplane, it was no big deal for him.

Although he could not mobilize aircraft, he had no problem arranging a few people. After all, those pilots also had to rely on the various logistical services provided by the airport garrison regiment.

"But this brat is really brave. He even dared to sneak down a British plane." Cun Xingfu chuckled, then thought for a while, picked up the phone and called someone.

Not long after, a pilot with the rank of captain walked into the office. This person was Huang Kekuan, the captain of the second squadron of the third flight brigade of Leiyun Airport.

"Lao Cun, what do you want from me?" The two were very familiar with each other, so Huang Kekuan sat down on a chair as soon as he came in, with a cigarette in his mouth.

"I'm busy right now. A new batch of students has been sent over from Shancheng. I'm having a headache about the planes and fuel."

"The higher-ups have only allocated so much money, and now prices are soaring, fuel prices are very high, and we can't fly many times at all. Students like this are just going to die if they go up in the sky."

After sitting down, Huang Kekuan did not treat Cun Xingfu as an outsider and immediately complained about things like his superiors withholding funds.

"Money is needed everywhere now, and it is normal to withhold funds. I submitted a report requesting an anti-aircraft machine gun half a year ago, but there is still no news. You'll get used to it." Cun Xingfu also said.

Hearing this, Huang Kekuan didn't say anything else. It was like this now, so they could understand.

After all, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, important sources of tax revenue, were in the hands of the Japanese army, and Shancheng really had no money.

Even the purchase of American weapons only amounted to more than one million US dollars a year, which was not enough to be shared.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Huang Kekuan asked again.

"It's not a big deal. My nephew got a few fighter planes. I wonder if your flight team is interested?" Cun Xingfu said directly.

"Are you saying you want to sell it? Don't come to me. I'm just a squadron leader and I can't decide anything. Are you attracted by that little bit of funding? That thing is not even enough to buy parts for an airplane." Huang Kekuan thought that the other party was attracted by the little funding he had, so he shook his head and advised.

"No, the plane was given for free." Cun Xingfu quickly shook his head.

"Ah? Free? Pie in the sky? Is there such a good thing?" Huang Kekuan was completely stunned. Someone would give away a plane?
This is rare.

"Well, it's free, but the plane is not here, so you need to bring people to fly back." Cun Xingfu explained with a smile.

"That's not a problem. Tell me where it is?" Huang Kekuan frowned frivolously with a confident expression.

"In Bamao." Cun Xingfu said hurriedly.

"Ah? Bhamo? Isn't that the British territory? You want me to go to the British territory and fly the plane back? Your nephew is not stealing the British fighter plane, is he?"

"Old Cun, please don't harm me. Even if you give me ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare to steal the British plane. If that happens, not only will I be finished, but you will be finished too." Huang Kekuan was frightened and immediately jumped up from his seat, shaking his head like a rattle.

"I still have something else to do..."

"Wait, it wasn't stolen, it was given to me by the British army." Cun Xingfu's words made Huang Kekuan even more confused. When would the British become so kind?

And send an airplane?
If they are asked to send some equipment, they won’t even want to, so how can they be willing to send airplanes?
He always felt that there was something wrong here.

There was no other choice but Cun Xingfu could only take out the letters he had received from home.

After reading the letter from home with a puzzled expression, Huang Kekuan's expression was the same as Cun Xingfu's before, incredulous, are you kidding me?

Are you making fun of him?
After Cun Xingfu's confirmation, I realized that this was actually true.

"You have an amazing nephew." Huang Kekuan said with emotion after a long time.

"Okay, I know this. What I mean is, do you still want the plane? If not, it will explode. Besides, we're short of fuel. These are all scarce supplies, and it costs money to transport them back." Cun Xingfu said unhappily.

"Of course, but will nothing go wrong? If the British knew that we had driven the plane back, we would be in trouble." Huang Kekuan was still a little worried. After all, the British were not easy to get along with.

"What's the trouble? We can just push it to the black market and say we bought it from it. As for the source, we don't know either." Cun Xingfu said indifferently.

Hearing this, Huang Kekuan thought for a while. A few British-made fighter planes are good things, much better than the old planes they have left.

Thinking of this, Huang Kekuan gritted his teeth and said.

"Okay, you're right. We can then say we bought it on the black market."

"There is one more thing. My nephew suggested sending a few people here to study." Cun Xingfu asked again.

"No problem. I also need to train new students anyway. You can arrange them to come in and let them learn together. But what does your nephew need pilots for? He is a regiment commander, does he want to form a flight team?" Huang Kekuan couldn't help asking.

"Who knows? Young people have a lot of ideas, and I can't keep up with the times." Cun Xingfu was also a little confused, but he couldn't let his nephew down.

"Maybe he really wants to form a flying team. After all, he is now highly valued by the Allied Command. Maybe his regiment will be equipped with a flying team in the future."

"Tsk, look at what you are capable of. I'll go back and make some preparations. We will fly to Bhamo in two hours. Ask your nephew to prepare the field airport. Also, you have to work with your superiors to arrange for it. Otherwise, by the time the plane is transported back, no one will remember your contribution." Huang Kekuan kindly reminded him.

"Don't worry, I know all this." After Huang Kekuan left, Cun Xingfu immediately sent a telegram to Bama.

When Cun Yunsheng received the telegram, he immediately felt relieved.

Then he immediately ordered the engineering company to build a simple runway.

At the same time, he asked Sun Yunfei to call the recruited intellectuals to his office, as he wanted to teach them a good lesson.

　I just got stuck, I will update it first and then change it! I also wish you all a happy May Day! Have fun, eat well, and be safe when traveling!
