This was the first question Wang Xuexin considered.
The reason is as mentioned before. It is impossible to do business in partnership. Both parties will cause trouble and pass the responsibility to the other party. Unless control is given to one party and the other party assists, it will end in failure in all likelihood.
.
For example, this time Yingjiang assisted the Eighth Route Army's plane...
Judging from Sun Erwei's mentality at this time, it is not difficult to see how arrogant the batch of Yingjiang pilots who will reinforce the Eighth Route Army will be in the future.
If the command authority of these pilots cannot be obtained so that they can obey orders, these pilots will do their own thing.
And after making a mistake that leads to failure, he will find excuses for himself. As a result, Yingjiang believes what the pilot said even more...
These are easy to reason about.
Therefore, Wang Xuexin believes that the difficulty of this air force plan is not the airport or the aircraft itself, but the problem of how the military personnel of two countries with completely different cultures, living habits and combat methods can coordinate... This problem is even if the sun never sets and the eagle
It is difficult for an army with the same roots and culture to avoid conflicts, let alone the Eighth Route Army and Yingjiang.
Sun Erwei felt a little incredible: "But Wang, you have no experience in aviation combat at all..."
"There will be one soon!" Wang Xuexin replied without thinking: "Sun Erwei, if these pilots are commanded by you, if they fail, should it be regarded as your failure or our failure?"
These words stopped Sun Erwei from questioning.
He just told Wang Xuexin that Yingjiang's subsequent reinforcements to the Eighth Route Army would depend on the performance of the Eighth Route Army.
So now, if the aircraft of this air force belongs to Yingjiang, the pilot belongs to Yingjiang, and the command authority still belongs to Yingjiang...
Who is responsible for the war?
Could it be that the victory was Yingjiang’s fault and the defeat was the Eighth Route Army’s problem?
Sun Erwei suddenly found that he had unknowingly fallen into a subjective trap. Things that he and Yingjiang took for granted were contradictory and unreasonable upon careful analysis.
"Okay!" Sun Erwei nodded: "I will tell them your thoughts!"
"No, this is not an idea!" Wang Xuexin replied: "I think you should understand Sun Erwei, this is a request rather than a suggestion. If you are unable to do this, we will expel these pilots and aircraft from our military's sphere of influence.
Therefore, you'd better make a decision now. If you can't hand over the command to our army, then please do it. You can choose to reinforce the stubborn army!"
Sun Erwei looked at Wang Xuexin in disbelief. He simply couldn't believe what he heard.
God, this is a free gift. It is a pilot and an airplane. Not to mention too many, there must be more than a hundred, right?
The plane alone is worth more than four million dollars.
If this was given to other armies, it would be a dream... During the war, it can even be said that it cannot be bought with money.
But this guy in front of him, this guy who doesn’t know the heights of heaven and earth, chose to refuse?
Didn’t the Eighth Route Army urgently need planes?
Isn't it Yingjiang who takes the initiative at this time?
And this Chinese battalion commander actually made demands on Yingjiang!
It can be said that Sun Erwei once again saw the power of the Chinese battalion commander.
"Wang, are you sure?" Sun Erwei asked hesitantly: "Do your superiors agree with your statement? Or have you discussed it with them?"
"I'm sure!" Wang Xuexin did not compromise. He answered firmly: "My superiors have given me full responsibility for this matter. I think I can make this decision!"
This is an order from the chief, so Wang Xuexin does have the right to make this decision.
Sun Erwei sighed and said: "Okay, I will tell them this request and your attitude immediately. However, if they refuse..."
"I am fully responsible!" Wang Xuexin took over this hot potato.
In fact, Wang Xuexin is very confident about this.
This is how he analyzed the matter:
If Yingjiang decided to use fighter planes to reinforce the Eighth Route Army, he saw the benefits in it.
Now that they have seen the benefits of this, they should also know that "a snake cannot move without a head" is an unchangeable natural law, otherwise they will become a mess and fight on their own.
For example, the Eighth Route Army has the overall strategy of the Eighth Route Army, and aircraft are only part of this strategy.
Therefore, it is necessary for Yingjiang pilots to obey the command of the Eighth Route Army... The entire Eighth Route Army cannot cooperate with Yingjiang pilots in fighting, right? At this time, fighter jets do not have such a large amount of energy, and Yingjiang pilots do not have such capabilities.
Hans once thought that only air raids and bombings could lead to surrender without setting, but this was obviously a wishful thinking. Unless it was two mushrooms thrown on the enemy's head, no aircraft could achieve such a goal.
Since from a strategic perspective, it is the aircraft that cooperates with the Eighth Route Army and not the Eighth Route Army that cooperates with the aircraft, there is no doubt that the aircraft obey the command of the Eighth Route Army.
Sun Erwei, an intelligence officer with a sense of superiority, found this point "difficult to understand" or "unbelievable", but from a military perspective, it was "non-negotiable", otherwise the final outcome would be failure.
Sun Erwei forwarded Wang Xuexin's request and attitude to Doolittle...because Doolittle had been to China and had contact with the Eighth Route Army. At the same time, he was a pilot who understood air combat, and he was promoted to brigadier general at this time, so this matter
Will be responsible for Doolittle.
Doolittle is indeed a professional soldier...
Although Sun Erwei is also a soldier, he was only a low-level officer before becoming an intelligence officer, and his strategic thinking has not yet risen to another level and he cannot understand these things.
Doolittle understood it clearly. He nodded with the telegram and said, "He is right. This is a fighter plane to reinforce the Eighth Route Army, so of course it must be commanded by them!"
So Doolittle immediately replied: "Commander of the Chinese battalion, please rest assured that this is not a problem at all. We cannot be at the other end of the Pacific and command an aviation force on the other side!"
When Sun Erwei saw the telegram, he was so surprised that he was speechless for a long time.
Then, Sun Erwei suddenly understood.
Regarding Wang Xuexin’s air force plan, it’s still unclear who needs whom more!
At this moment, a car stopped at the entrance of the camp, and Skinner and his men jumped out of the back of the car one by one.
Wang Xuexin was a little surprised. Shouldn't they be in three stores?
Sun Erwei looked at Skinner and his team walking towards the office and explained: "That's it. Skinner thought that their cooperation project had been completed and it was time to return to China, so he planned to transfer back to China from Xi'an with the remaining pilots.
!Due to the Air Force plan, I forgot to tell you!"
Wang Xuexin was stunned and secretly thought that this would not work. If he were to send this guy back to China... the rocket would be missing a top expert.
