Chapter Thirty-Eight: Gazing Out

  Kao Yang delivered an opening speech written by the famous writer Hu Shih to 1582 first-term cadets wearing uniforms produced by Fengxian Clothing Factory, modeled after those of the German Wehrmacht in World War II at the opening ceremony of Nanjing Army Officer School.

  The speech talked about the country, nation, democracy, science and so on, calling on young students to join in the great cause of rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, this sentence was added by Gaoyang himself.

  After the opening ceremony, the students immediately plunged into intense learning. Gao Yang had no patience to wait for their graduation two years later. At most three months later, the second phase would start recruiting, and Gao Yang's military action would begin at the latest next year! After all, for Gao Yang, the main focus was still on modern times.

  Wang Dashan sat in the classroom, diligently taking notes. Each German instructor was paired with a biochemical warrior as an interpreter. Although he took notes seriously, most of the content was completely incomprehensible! "I was recommended by my team to come and study, I absolutely cannot disappoint my supervisor." Wang Dashan thought silently.

  At this time a "buzzing..." sound came from the sky, "Those guys in the air force have started again." Wang Dashan thought somewhat helplessly.

  Except for more than 200 officer cadets who went to the Anqing Military Academy, 22 pilots and 41 ground mechanics were incorporated into the Sixth Army Aviation Corps as instructors. Also came with Kao Yang's purchase of 36 Fokker aircraft.

  Kao Yang arranged for more than 300 flight students with excellent physical conditions and even more ground crew members, not because they couldn't recruit more people but because the instructors couldn't teach that many! Kao Yang's plan was to have the German instructors bring out the first batch of students, who would then become instructors themselves to bring out even more pilots. As long as there were enough pilots, Kao Yang could purchase large quantities of the best piston engine planes from modern times to equip them.

  From dawn till dusk, people can rest but planes cannot stop. A large number of various aircraft parts were purchased on purpose, as long as it's not thundering or hailing, they have to keep training in the sky!

  Pilots are not high-end jobs, as long as they have a good physical condition, anyone can fly. There were many illiterate ace pilots in the history of air warfare. As for fuel consumption, Gaoyang's monthly purchase of crude oil from Mobil has exceeded 1 million barrels! Moreover, Mobil's refinery in Wuhu has started production, which is enough for the aviation team to squander.

  The citizens of Nanjing were initially curious about these big birds flying in the sky every day, but after just a few days, they all got annoyed and scolded them, it's really too noisy!

  Gaoyang purchased more than 2,000 mu of land in the Daxiao campus to build the Daxiao Airport as a base for the aviation team. As early as last year, construction had already begun on the airport, with two fully cemented runways stretching over 3,000 meters! Gaoyang was completely following the specifications for jet aircraft runways when building it.

  The surrounding towers, hangars, oil depots, pilot dormitories, duty rooms, and searchlights have all been built, and even the high-altitude gun emplacements are ready, only the guns themselves are missing. There are also many specialized vehicles of various types.

  The entire airport was surrounded by barbed wire and guarded by an independent airport defense force. When the German pilots and ground crew arrived at the airport, they were shocked to see such a luxurious airport! The airspace around it is very good, very suitable for flying. The entire cement pavement is completely made of cement, most of which came from the Fengxian Cement Plant in Nanjing.

  Major Thomas Müller was one of the shocked, as a "cannon" of the German Air Force during the European War, Thomas Müller had a brilliant record of shooting down 12 enemy planes and had appeared in the headlines of newspapers many times.

  Unfortunately, all these things became nothing after the war. The Treaty of Versailles stipulated that Germany could not have an air force, so Major Thomas Müller was unemployed. In the financial crisis sweeping Germany, Thomas Müller and his family fell into poverty. At this time, one of his comrades recommended a job to him in the distant East, where he could pay three years' salary in advance, in pounds! Without any hesitation, leaving all the money for his family, Thomas Müller boarded the ship bound for Shanghai.

  Thomas Miller was appointed by Gao Yang as the captain of the aviation team, his task is to train pilots and ground crew in the shortest time possible, whatever he needs just say it! Major Thomas Miller used the most direct method, non-stop high-intensity training.

  At this time, Kao was discussing the construction of the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge with Kent Ralph, a builder from the German architectural firm Philipp Holzmann, at his own official residence.

  "Mr. Gao, I've reviewed the architectural drawings and to be honest, this is the most difficult construction project I've ever seen," Ralph said with a furrowed brow.

  Gao Yang slowly took a sip of the coffee in front of him and said lightly, "Mr. Ralph, I don't want to hear about difficulties, I just want to know if your company can do it!" The words were light but the tone was heavy!

  "I need a powerful construction team and all building materials and construction machinery. I can only say that theoretically it is possible, but..."

  "Alright, I'll give you whatever you want, but I have one condition: build it as fast as possible! The final deadline for your company is three years. For every day past the deadline, I will deduct ￡10,000 from the construction fee. If you are late by three months, I won't pay you a single penny."

  "Stop right there, Ralph. I've seen the engineering fees your company is asking for. If you can guarantee quality work within three years, I'll give you double the money! What you need to do now isn't argue with me, but start working immediately! Every minute counts, and it's all about the money for your company." With that, Mr. Gao put down his coffee cup, stood up, and left the meeting room.

  Mr. Ralph was stunned for a moment before running out of Gao Yang's mansion like a rabbit shot by an arrow.

  Gao Yang looked at the darkening sky and rubbed his stomach, ready to eat. He started the time-space shuttle and returned to the modern era's villa in the mining area. Just as he was about to ask the chef to prepare lunch, his phone received an unread message: "OPPA, I fell while practicing dance and now I'm in the hospital." It was a text from Little Crystal.

  Gao Yang's heart skipped a beat as he quickly dialed the number. The ringing sound continued, but no one picked up! Gao Yang's anxiety grew, and suddenly the call was hung up. Gao Yang felt a chill in his heart, "What's wrong? Doesn't want to answer or...?" As Gao Yang was lost in thought, a text message came through.

  "Oppa, my mom is here. It's not convenient for me to answer the phone right now."

  Gao Yang suddenly felt a warmth rising to his heart, and the faint sense of happiness made him feel a little dizzy. However, soon Gao Yang's heart was filled with thick worries, and after lightly caressing his phone for a moment, he sent Zheng Xiujing a text message "I'm going to see you."

  After starting the time shuttle to come to Nanjing in 1925, start again to come to modern times in Beijing. "Modify all my monitoring points, arrange an identity for me and book the fastest plane to Seoul."

  "It's going to consume a lot of energy points." The original point said with a teasing tone.

  Gaoyang took out a hat from the closet and put it on, smiling and saying "Do you know a phrase I heard before?" "What phrase?" Yuandian curiously asked.

  "Money is a bastard, spend it and earn it again." Gaoyang said with a smile.

  That BMW was towed away by a certain traffic police team at the airport last time, and Gao Yang has been too lazy to pick it up, so now he can only take a taxi.

  At this time, in a hospital in Seoul, Jung Soo-jung was lying on the bed and texting Gao Yang "Where is OPPA? If you're busy with work, don't come."

  After sending the text message, she gently bit her lip and her expression was somewhat hesitant. Through this period of texting, Gaoyang's intentions were also vaguely felt by her, but in her heart, she was very entangled about what to do?

  When chatting with Gao Yang, I feel very happy. Gao Yang's words are full of care and comfort, as well as a little humor. Every time, it makes me feel relaxed when I'm tired from work. But what if he really pursues me?

  "Rest well, it's almost here." Gao Yang replied quickly. Zheng Xiujing was a little surprised, she knew he wasn't in Korea when they were texting earlier, how did he get there? Did he fly over just to see her? Her surprise was mixed with a hint of happiness and joy.

  The door was gently opened, and Zheng's mom walked in. Zheng Xiujing quickly closed her phone and looked at her mom. "Let's eat, it's all your favorite food." Zheng's mom had just gone to buy some food.

  "Oh" Zheng Xiujing ate with a somewhat distracted mind.

  "Don't worry, the doctor said it's nothing serious, you'll be fine soon." Zheng Mama noticed that her daughter was a bit off, but she just thought she was upset because of the injury and didn't think much of it.

  "Yes, mom, you can go home and rest after dinner, I'm fine." Zheng Xiujing said softly.

  "You child, isn't it good for Mom to accompany you?" Zheng's mom said with a smile.

  "No, mom has also had a hard day, go home and rest well, I really don't have anything to do, I'll sleep soon." Zheng Xiujing said with a pout.

  "Alright, okay, you eat some more, I'll head back home after you're done." Zheng's mom said as she stroked her daughter's hair.

  "En." Zheng Xiujing's eating speed obviously accelerated.

  At 10 o'clock in the evening, Gao Yang walked out of Incheon International Airport and got into a taxi. He was about to say "go to Samsung Hospital" but suddenly changed his mind and said "go to Seoul Plaza."

  Jung Soo-jung was playing with her phone in a somewhat bored manner. She looked up at the clock and saw that it was almost 11 o'clock. Her sleepy eyelids were fighting, but she was still holding on, complaining softly "You said it would be quick, but it's been so long." The girl's tone was tinged with petulance.

  A text message suddenly appeared "What's the room number?" It was Gao Yang's phone number! Zheng Xiujing's heart skipped a beat, "He really came!" Suddenly didn't know how to respond. Excitement, panic and hesitation all surged out at once. After half a ring, she bit her lip and sent the room number.
