Americans are never stingy about talking about money. After hearing the salary paid to them by Gao Hongming, many people began to make some calculations in their minds.
According to Gao Hongming, non-commissioned officers can receive 3,000 US dollars in half a year, and lieutenants can receive 6,000 US dollars. Not to mention Doolittle, who has the highest military rank, can receive 12,000 US dollars in half a year.
This money can even buy a small piece of pasture in his hometown. It can be said that he has earned back his retirement money for the rest of his life.
When they thought of this, many people showed joyful expressions on their faces.
Gao Hongming seemed to have remembered something and suddenly asked: "Everyone, I seem to have heard that some time ago someone seemed unwilling to cremate a deceased pilot and insisted on transporting his body back to the United States. Is that so?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere became a little stiff. Just as Doolittle was about to explain, a pilot stood up and said, "Your Excellency, that fool is me."
Gao Hongming asked calmly: "Can you tell me why?"
"Your Excellency General."
Doolittle, who was afraid that the finally eased relationship between the two parties would become stalemate again, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty General, this matter has been resolved. Just last month we cremated the pilot who died."
"Sit down." Gao Hongming waved to the pilot who stood up: "Lieutenant, relax. It's meal time now, don't be so serious. By the way, can you tell me your name?"
The lieutenant showed a complicated expression on his face: "Sir, my name is Leif McCauley, and the pilot who died was Danny Walker, who was my best friend.
Two months ago, we drove B-25s and made an emergency landing in a rice field. We were pursued by the Japanese. Danny died trying to save me, and I wanted to take Danny's body back to the United States and give it to his girlfriend...
…So I……"
"etc……"
Gao Hongming interrupted Leif's words. He seemed to think of something in his mind, but he couldn't remember it for a while. But when he saw Leif's slightly familiar face.
"Danny...Leif..." he muttered.
Then he blurted out: "Is Danny's girlfriend a nurse in the army, and her name is Evelyn?"
"God, how did you know?" Now it was Leif's turn to be surprised, with a look of horror on his face.
"Oh my God."
Gao Hongming not only groaned suddenly, but also slapped his forehead fiercely. Isn't this the world of bright swords? How come even the Pearl Harbor of the Explosive Shell was mixed in?
"Sir, you haven't answered me yet, how do you know about Danny and Evelin?"
Leif's mood seemed a little excited. He suddenly stood up and strode towards Gao Hongming.
"stop!"
Before Leif could get closer, a tall figure stood in front of him and stopped him.
At the same time, two security battalion soldiers wearing black military uniforms and fully armed appeared out of nowhere and surrounded him. The black muzzles of their guns were pointed at him. If anything went wrong, Leif would be beaten into a sieve immediately.
Doolittle felt nervous when he saw it, and quickly shouted: "Hey... Leif, for the sake of God, don't get excited, stop it now!"
"Leif, don't move, otherwise they will really shoot." The surrounding American pilots also tried to persuade him.
At this time, Leif, whose shoulders were held down by two soldiers, looked at the black muzzle of the gun in front of him and calmed down. He slowly sat back down and suddenly burst into tears.
The guy was crying and choking up: "General, I'm really sorry. I was impulsive just now. It's just that I was really frightened by your words. I really can't figure out how you knew about me, Danny and Eve."
What about Lin?
Because if I remember correctly, we are thousands of miles apart and have no intersection at all. Can you tell me? You know, I almost collapsed because of Danny's death during this period. I really don't know how to express my gratitude to Eve.
Lin explained."
Gao Hongming scratched his head helplessly, he really didn't know how to explain it.
Doolittle looked at Leif who was in pain, and couldn't help but said: "General, if you can, please help this child, Danny is his best friend.
He died trying to save him some time ago, which also caused Lieutenant Leif to feel guilty during this period, and the heavy pressure almost crushed him."
Looking at the people who were looking at him eagerly, there was confusion, curiosity, desire and even expectation in their eyes.
"All right!"
Gao Hongming waved his hand to Dabao, who then signaled the two soldiers to let go of Leif, and then several of them disappeared from everyone's sight.
He organized the words in his mind and said slowly: "Lieutenant Leif, you may not believe it.
I sometimes see some messy things, such as things in the past or even the future.
But these things are usually not accepted by ordinary people, because they can easily be labeled as heretics. Do you understand what I say?"
Originally, Gao Hongming just wanted to use this excuse to fool these Americans. Unexpectedly, Leifran nodded solemnly: "Of course, there are such people in our country. We usually call them psychics."
"It's good if you understand."
Gao Hongming breathed a sigh of relief, "The reason why I said Danny and Evelin's names just now is because I saw something from you, so I said it smoothly, so you don't have to be so excited.
In fact, there aren’t many things I can see, and I don’t see them often, so you don’t have to worry about me snooping into your privacy.”
Leif asked excitedly: "General Gao, since you are a psychic, can you tell me what will happen to me in the future?"
"The future..."
Gao Hongming spread his hands and said, "Don't talk to me about the future. I'm afraid even God can't tell you clearly, because it depends on how you choose.
But it’s fate that we can meet today, and I can tell you one thing. If I read correctly, Evelin should be pregnant now, and she is pregnant with Danny’s child.”
"Wow……"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar.
Including Doolittle, many people know that the relationship between Rafe, Danny and Evelyn is constantly cutting and messing up, which is comparable to a wonderful bloody TV series.
Now I heard that Evelin actually harmed the dead Danny's child. This news is really shocking.
It was so exciting that they didn't know whether to sympathize with him or congratulate him, and as the person involved, Leif was probably even more confused.
"Okay gentlemen, let's end the story here. You continue, I won't accompany you if I have something else to do."
After saying that, Gao Hongming stood up and walked towards the door. If he didn't leave, he would be betrayed.
Just as he was about to walk to the door, Leif's voice came from behind.
"Your Majesty General, can you tell me whether that child is a boy or a girl?"
Gao Hongming paused for a moment, then walked to the door without looking back, and then said from the door: "Congratulations, you are a boy..."
