Rumble!!!
Thumb and Thumb.
Thumb and Thumb.
The Japanese planes were still attacking the airport, and the planes considered treasures were blown up like rags.
Fortunately, take advantage of this time.
Thirty aircraft have been stored in the World Beads.
The reason why aircraft are called treasures is that in "Bloody Sky", there are as many as 2,200 aircraft used in Japan to invade China, and among the more than 600 combat aircraft of the National Army, only 296 can actually be launched into the air, and there are no storage accessories.
In fact, the national army is able to buy thousands of aircraft.
However, there is a scandal here.
During the War of Resistance Against Japan, China received assistance from the United States' leased legal system and received a large amount of material and financial support. The United States' idea was to let China's War of Resistance Against Japan contain Japan's military power.
There was a large amount of loans that the United States clearly told China to use to purchase American aircraft. At that time, the Chongqing National Government pieced together and also made some money to buy aircraft. The two money cooperated with each other, which was the purchase fund, and the specific amount of the money was.
Later generations estimated that about 1,300 aircraft could be purchased. Soong Mei-ling got the money and went to the United States to buy aircraft, but only bought more than 300 aircraft. When the commander of the Kuomintang Air Force Zhou Zhirou saw this number, her eyes were so shocked that she was about to fall out. He ran to ask Soong Mei-ling and hinted: Didn’t it mean there were more than 1,300 aircraft?
What about the other 1,000 planes?
This number is so different!
Of course, Zhou Zhirou is a very skillful person. He spoke very tactfully, with a little cowardly and pleading in his tone. However, when Soong Mei-ling heard Zhou Zhirou say this, she didn't speak, and directly used her eyes to strait Zhou Zhirou. Zhou Zhirou instantly understood the meaning and did not dare to talk nonsense, so she went back in disappointment.
Later, according to the results of the investigation by the US intelligence agency, except for a small amount of this money was used to purchase aircraft, most of the other (and probably more than 70%) were deposited into the private accounts established by the Song family in the United States. Considering the tragic experience of China being crushed by the Japanese Air Force during the War of Resistance Against Japan, aircraft were a huge strategic resource: During the War of Resistance Against Japan, when fierce air war broke out between China and Japan, the Kuomintang had about 600 aircraft, but except for various trainers and transport aircraft (including eliminated fighters and bombers) that had no combat capabilities, as well as old and unqualified aircraft (mostly Italian goods), the air force of the National Army actually had only 91 aircraft that could fight. Compared with the two, if these 1,300 aircraft could be bought back, how great aid would the War of Resistance Against Japan...
In other words, Soong Mei-ling dared to embezzle the money used by the Chinese nation to save lives. She is really a role model in the Republic of China!
Every time I think of the story of the Kuomintang Air Force soldiers Gao Zhihang, Liu Cuigang, Le Yiqin and Li Guidan sprinkling blood on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War, and at the same time, I think of Soong Mei-ling's embezzlement of public funds for aircraft, a huge sadness arises in my heart.
Later, due to the excessive corruption in the purchase of the aircraft, Chiang Kai-shek ordered a strict investigation. As a result, Chiang Kai-shek instructed the whistleblower was accused of false accusation. The sentence was given to 15 years of sentence to thoroughly investigate the corruption in Nanjing City Defense Commander Yang Jie was shot by Chiang Kai-shek to warn him.
In the end, justice was not upheld, and this incident completely disappointed Yang Jie. From then on, Yang Jie and Chiang Kai-shek began to go unofficial. In 1949, Yang Jie was shot dead by Chiang Kai-shek because of his tendency to revolt.
What's more amazing is that in order to prevent the subsequent corruption of military purchases from being exposed, Nanchang Airport caught a bizarre fire and many planes were destroyed. The Air Force was in tears, but the Song family jumped happily.
No wonder Americans later questioned the US's policy of supporting the Nanjing National Government:
We have been supporting a group of greedy criminals!.US President Truman also said hatefully:
They stole 7.5 billion from the billions of dollars we aid, and they stole the money and invested in St. Paul, and some even New York real estate under our feet!Later, when American writer Millsheimer visited Truman, Truman was still angry:
No one knows the specific amount of this money, but it is definitely very large, because after Chiang Kai-shek's death, Soong Mei-ling went to the United States. Although she had almost no income, she spent money like water and lived a pampered and desolate life. Even if Soong Mei-ling died, there was still a huge amount of surplus.
We can roughly calculate the accounts.
When using American loans to buy fighters again in early 1941, the P40 piston fighter (nicknamed Tomahawk fighter, developed and produced by Curtis, the United States) was priced at $40,000. In the past, a P51 piston fighter (nicknamed Mustang fighter), and the price of one was $50,000. We calculate these two. So the money that was blackened by Soong Mei-ling was about $40 million to $50 million. We must know that the purchasing power of $1 in the 1940s was quite considerable: in the 1940s, according to the Bretton Woods system, $35 corresponds to an ounce of gold. At that time, the 40 million to $50 million that Soong Mei-ling hacked when purchasing the aircraft was equivalent to about 30-40 tons of gold. Converted to today's RMB, it is 8-10 billion yuan.
Just buying a plane can cut off so much fat. Just this matter, we can imagine how dark the four major families have reached!
Of course, if what Truman said was stolen 7.5 billion, then the money that was hacked by the Kuomintang’s powerful people would probably be equivalent to hundreds of billions of yuan today.
Considering the living conditions of the people and the total economic output of the country at that time, these people can really be said to be rich enough to rival a country.
It can also be said that Chen Xianzhi is supporting his own troops.
I believe many people understand the darkness of the national army.
Only the Eighth Route Army is the ranks of the people and serves the people.
Therefore, Chen Xianzhi received the plane in time and could not give it to the National Army.
In one month, he will change the war pattern.
At this time, the Japanese army fleet was still bombing warships in the military port.
An hour has passed, and the battleships of the Pacific Fleet have been severely damaged. The USS Pennsylvania battleship was hit by the Japanese torpedo and exploded directly from it.
The violent explosion turned the battleship into two pieces and sank directly.
Although other warships did not sink, they were also bombed with holes.
The bridge of the battleship California battleship was unrecognizable.
The Nevada had a serious roll.
The destroyers were directly sunk by torpedoes.
And the aircraft carrier was also full of holes, but it was an aircraft carrier after all, with strong ability to resist strikes.
But it is also the focus of the Japanese.
