"Brother Du, you don't have to hide your clumsiness in front of me. Your American plan to attack Tokyo this time, such an arduous task, was finally handed over to me. This is enough to prove your talent, brother.

In addition, I once heard John say that you are a senior engineer in the aviation field. If such talents cannot help our Eighth Route Army, what hope do we have?"

Facing Kong Jie's words, Doolittle finally sighed and said:

"Kong, you are my savior. I don't want to lie to you. Judging from the current situation, the anti-Japanese revolutionary base opened by your Eighth Route Army on the battlefield behind enemy lines is indeed developing very well and is amazing.

But let me be blunt, if it is only to this extent, with the heritage and foundation of your Eighth Route Army, if you want to develop your own aviation power, to put it bluntly, it is simply harder than climbing to the sky!"

"If it wasn't difficult, why would we ask Brother Du for help?" Kong Jie said with a smile.

Doolittle thought that Kong Jie didn't understand what he meant, so he emphasized again: "Kong, you have to know that it is very difficult to build an aviation force when you have no foundation or even nothing.

There is a saying in China that is very good, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, this is the truth."

Kong Jie still smiled brightly. He did not rush to refute, but smiled and said to Doolittle: "Brother Du, I understand what you mean. Let me ask you to visit some things first."

Soon.

The Secret Aviation Research Laboratory of the Eighth Route Army’s Northwestern Shanxi Anti-Japanese Independent Detachment welcomed a special guest.

When Doolittle was invited into the research room by Kong Jie who looked very kind.

When he looked up, he saw various large and small aircraft models throughout the research room, as well as a series of mathematical formulas about aviation written on the blackboard in the center, plus some soldiers wearing American pilot suits.

Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle, a ruthless man who didn't even blink when he bombed Tokyo, was stunned on the spot for a moment.

In a daze, if he hadn't known that he was currently in the Eighth Route Army base, Doolittle would have mistakenly thought that he had actually entered a research laboratory in the aviation field.

Until Kong Jie's voice broke the silence: "Comrades, do you know who this old man in front of you is?

This is Mr. Doolittle, the U.S. Army aviation lieutenant colonel who attacked Tokyo. In addition, Mr. Doolittle is a cutting-edge talent in the field of aviation research. This time he is here to specifically guide our research work in aviation.

Everyone is warmly welcome!"

Amidst the thunderous applause, Doolittle was enthusiastically surrounded by everyone.

Various new fighter jet models specially developed by a team of researchers were placed in front of Doolittle one after another.

There were also various information and data analyzes on the aviation field, all of which were placed in front of Doolittle.

The students asked questions one after another, and it happened that everyone had many problems that had been bothering them for a long time.

Doolittle was surprised that this detachment of the Eighth Route Army had such a research laboratory specializing in the field of aviation.

However, the old lieutenant colonel didn't think much about it. Although he didn't show it, he was somewhat disinterested in his heart.

At least in his opinion, in such a crude environment, without fighter jets and actual flying experience.

It is almost impossible to cultivate special research talents in the aviation field.

Until Kong Jie placed a special piece of research information in front of Doolittle.

Relying on the advanced technical information in the aviation field produced by the system, Doolittle was immediately immersed in it after being shocked and unable to extricate himself.

This is Kong Jie’s real trick to retain Doolittle, a talent in the aviation field.
