Chapter 679 It takes no effort to get it (2) [Repayment 6/70]
A few days later, Mr. Ross, a war correspondent, once again boarded a C-47 transport plane flying to Asia.
We started a journey that would take a long time even if we use transportation like airplane.
The difference is that this time he got on the transport plane, not only did he not spend half a dime, but he also received a very warm reception from the crew.
Of course, to receive such a warm reception.
It wasn't him, Mr. Ross, but the rumor that he could get super socks had spread to the point where the entire Uncle Sam's Air Force knew about it.
Simply because Mr. Ross, after hurried back to Uncle Sam's house, immediately brought his manuscript to Uncle Sam's house, the most influential "New York Times" at present.
When I saw the text description in the manuscript, which was completely shocking to my soul, as well as the related picture content.
With a reserved look on his face, Mr. Ross was only given 5 minutes to talk, but the coaxing editor immediately made his decision:
Immediately replace the front page news that has been scheduled for tomorrow; replace it with such a manuscript that takes up the entire page.
As an editor-in-chief who has been in the industry for many years, I can be sure of one thing based on my professional sensitivity:
As long as such a piece of news is released, it will definitely cause a huge sensation in Uncle Sam's society.
And their "New York Times" will once again prove that they have the strongest influence in the media world of Uncle Sam's house.
In fact, this is also the case. After the news was released the next day, the newspaper was reprinted several times before many people still couldn't buy it.
The newspaper's external hotline has been busy for a long time.
They are all enthusiastic readers who after seeing the newspaper and calling the operator, their mouths were a little incoherent due to excitement...
Starting from the third day, an astonishing amount of mail was delivered to the newspaper office.
And as time went by, the next two days became more and more frequent.
A considerable part of them came with some remittance slips, which were donations made voluntarily by many enthusiastic housewives to those Oriental child soldiers.
Maybe each donation like this is not much. The small amount is only one or two US dollars, and the large amount is thirty or fifty US dollars.
But after three days, the total amount reached more than 30,000 US dollars.
In a year like 1944, 35 US dollars could be exchanged for one ounce of gold. More than 30,000 US dollars was actually a lot of money.
In short, none of the above illustrates that the entire Uncle Sam society now pays huge attention to those Eastern child soldiers.
This means that if there is a follow-up, the circulation and credibility of the newspaper will be further improved.
So, after the editor-in-chief promised war correspondent Ross a lot of benefits, including a piece of cake like the Pulitzer Prize next year.
I got on the plane again and started another journey to the East.
He even couldn't care less about using his socks to go on a date with a few blonde sweet girls.
At the same time, such a result can be regarded as Ross's personal career development and help Hu Biao and those child soldiers, perfectly achieving two birds with one stone.
It was only when the C-47 transport plane kept refueling and tossed around that after a lot of trouble, Mr. Ross finally arrived at the familiar Assam Airport again.
I just had a bad lunch in the airport cafeteria and was about to take a plane via the Camelback route to Ross in the western Yunnan region again.
However, he was stopped by a soldier major directly at the entrance of the cafeteria.
After the major spoke, something shocked him: "Hello Mr. Ross, General Stilwell would like to see you..."
******
"These damn vampires, what the hell are they doing now, and they still think about the benefits of pulling into their arms~"
After looking at the slanderer with a stinky face as he walked back from the mountain road, Hu Biao knew that there was no need to ask. Today's whole day of spoofing did not yield any substantial good news.
In other words, the Zhongzhou team's plan to get some cheap bullets from the logistics departments of other armies was completely unsuccessful.
Suddenly in a rage, Hu Biao cursed like this.
But even so, looking at the depressed expression on Dahuyou's face, Hu Biao had the intention of encouraging his team members based on his status as the team commander.
He put on a pleasant smile and said to the big liar:
"It's okay, don't be so sad! As long as your thinking doesn't slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties. We will have ways to solve these messy things.
You haven’t had lunch yet, so are you hungry now? I’ll ask Zhan Ge to arrange for someone to prepare some rotten meat noodles for you right away to fill your stomach.”
After comforting the big fool, Hu Biao shouted loudly: "War song, war..."
Halfway through the shouting, Hu Biao suddenly seemed to have seen a ghost, and all the voices shouting war songs to come over stopped in the middle of the shouting.
Similarly, he was deceived by his depressed expression at first, but now he is also in such a stunned state.
That was when he saw something unbelievable in his sight; he could see dozens of generals and officers, escorted by hundreds of elite soldiers, walking all the way towards their position.
Among those big shots was an old acquaintance, war correspondent Ross.
This fact did not surprise Hu Biao and others.
To Hu Biao's and others' surprise, however, according to some World War II documents they had seen in the past, the background of the two men who were guarded by a group of officers like stars accompanying the moon was very unusual.
The little old foreign devil in there had a lot of famous names in China during World War II.
For example: Chief of Staff of the Chinese Theater, Commander-in-Chief of the General Forces of the China-Burma-India Theater, Deputy Commander of the Southeast Asia Allied Forces Command, Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army in India, and the person in charge of allocating Uncle Sam’s supplies to China.
Which Stilwell can be said to be crucial to the current war in China?
Although the identity and status of the Chinese general accompanying him was far less prominent than Stilwell, he was still a respectable figure: General Wei, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese expeditionary force.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Hu Biao suddenly became a huge trembling spirit all over his body.
Because this guy has reacted, his illness can be cured.
No! It should be that Stilwell, who had never appeared at Songshan Fortress, miraculously appeared here, accompanied by Ross.
It’s self-evident what happened, okay?
Anyway, at this moment, Hu Biao knew that there was no problem at all with the weapons they had replenished.
Stilwell, the scapegoat, no! For such an international friend, as long as a little bit of food is leaked out from his fingers, the supplementary group can fill him up, or even fill him up...
