Did he trick the young marshal into becoming sworn brothers and then go south to Huangpu Military Ac

Along both sides of the track, hundreds of students looked up, their eyes red with excitement, and let out a deafening cheer!

However, the shock that Lin Qi brought to them was only just beginning.

After climbing to an altitude of 1,000 meters, the fighter jet suddenly changed course in the air.

Immediately afterwards, the roar of the engine suddenly turned sharp and shrill!

Lin Qi slammed on the throttle, and the fighter jet drew a tiny turning radius in the air before performing a thrilling Immelmann roll in mid-air!

Then came a series of dazzling horizontal rolls!

The streamlined fuselage gleamed with a blinding cold light in the sunlight. Every roll and every pull-up seemed to be challenging the limits of this old-fashioned biplane!

On the ground, all cheers abruptly ceased.

The students were stunned, their mouths agape, forgetting even to breathe.

Those foreign mercenaries who were paid high salaries, and now their instructors, were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to the ground!

They originally thought this Eastern boss was just going up there to casually take off and land as a show, but who would have thought he would actually perform extreme maneuvers that only those who have experienced brutal aerial combat would dare to do?!

The hillside in the distance.

Miss Song's hand, which was holding the binoculars, was trembling violently.

Through the lenses, the silver fighter jet tumbling in the clouds struck her soul like a bolt of lightning.

"So captivating... This is truly the man who rules the world..."

Miss Song muttered to herself, her face flushed with excitement.

From that moment on, she not only fell completely in love with Lin Qi's domineering aura, but also fell deeply in love with this poison called "Flight".

In the sky, Lin Qi enjoyed himself for more than ten minutes before reluctantly reducing the throttle, maneuvering the fighter jet to align with the runway, landing steadily, taxiing, and finally stopping in place.

He pushed open the canopy, took off his goggles, and jumped off the plane.

"Whoosh!"

Dozens of foreign flight instructors swarmed up and surrounded him.

Landis rushed over excitedly, gave Lin Qi a bear hug, then gave him two thumbs up and showered him with praise in American English mixed with various profanities:

"Boss! You're a genius! An absolute flying genius! It was your first time handling an airplane, and you showed absolutely no awkwardness. Your control over airflow is even more perfect than those of us veterans who've trained for hundreds of hours over the Somme!"

Faced with the foreigners' enthusiastic praise, Lin Qi simply smiled faintly and waved his hand modestly: "You flatter me, everyone. I just look at blueprints too much. I was just flying around for fun just now. It was just a lucky break."

The foreigners shook their heads repeatedly, completely disbelieving.

Can you really perform an Immelmann flip just by flying around randomly?

This is an insult to their intelligence!

Regardless, Lin Qi's reputation as a flying prodigy spread like wildfire throughout the entire base camp on this day.

The vice principal's personal example and leading by example ignited the passion in the hearts of the students who were initially hesitant!

"If even the vice-principal can fly so beautifully, what about us who spend our days wallowing in mud? If we're still chickens out, we might as well go home and take care of our kids!"

A student named Lin Yi was the first to stand up, his eyes red with tears, and asked to board the plane for a test flight.

With the exemplary influence of Lin Qi and the dedicated guidance of the foreign instructors, the test flight work began to proceed in an orderly manner.

As it turns out, Lin Qi's decision to expand enrollment was absolutely correct.

These students already possessed an excellent foundation in mathematics, physics, and chemistry, making it effortless for them to understand flight attitudes and mechanical principles.

In addition, most of them come from wealthy families, have been well-nourished since childhood, have excellent physical fitness, and have a natural resistance to the dizziness caused by high-altitude flight.

Although one or two students experienced a hard landing and broke their landing gear during the initial test flights due to excessive nervousness, fortunately, there were no serious accidents and no fatalities occurred.

After just half a month of intensive on-air training, these hundreds of prodigies have basically completed their initial studies and are able to skillfully pilot fighter jets to take off and land, and perform simple aerial formation missions.

Just as this fledgling eagle unit was taking shape, an even more exciting piece of news arrived.

One hundred of the latest and improved Boeing fighter jets have been secretly transported to Hong Kong!

As evening approached, a thin mist enveloped the surface of the Pearl River Estuary.

Lin Qi personally led the students who were already able to fly with difficulty, and under the cover of night, they transported the disassembled and crated steel behemoths back to the field airfield by flat-bottomed barges.

For the next few days and nights, the entire airport remained brightly lit.

Lin Qi personally oversaw the operation, leading the foreigners and students in working day and night to assemble the equipment.

As the last rivet was hammered in, the morning sun bathed the valley in its light.

A total of 150 fighter jets, like a steel jungle, stood neatly and imposingly on the runway of the aviation branch school!

Looking at this air force, which was terrifying in the whole of Asia, Lin Qi felt more confident.

Moreover, after several months of frantic expansion, the Ishii Arsenal had more than a dozen German hydraulic presses and lathes running day and night.

The warehouse was filled with gleaming yellow bullets, shiny mountain guns, and rows of mortars.

"We have the weapons and ammunition, and we also have air superiority."

Lin Qi took a deep breath.

"It's time for a large-scale expansion of the army. The Whampoa Military Academy Training Regiment, in particular, is far too weak at three thousand men; it must be expanded into a full army immediately!"

Having made up his mind, Lin Qi took off his oil-stained work clothes, washed his face, jumped into his car, and drove towards the Whampoa Military Academy. He was going to find the Chang family.

The atmosphere in the principal's office at the Whampoa Military Academy was oppressive and suffocating.

Chang stood before the military map, his brow furrowed in worry.

He was really worried sick!

The situation in the north has deteriorated beyond his imagination!

Just as Lin Qi had predicted, without the Northwest Army to restrain them on the flank, the Fengtian clique was like a ferocious tiger breaking free of its cage, baring its sharpest fangs!

Zhang Zuolin did not consolidate his territory in Beiping at all, but instead launched a full-scale southward advance at an alarming speed!

Zhang Zongchang, known as the "Dog Meat General," led his undisciplined but extremely fierce soldiers, along with the White Russian armored train regiment, as the vanguard, pushing wildly along the Jinpu Railway.

The Zhili troops, already decimated, crumbled like clay chickens and earthen dogs before the overwhelming force of the steel torrent.

In less than two months, the Fengtian Army crossed the Yangtze River, and Zhang Zongchang's troops marched into Shanghai, the largest city in the Far East!

This was a fatal strategic disaster for the headquarters or for the warlords across the country!

What kind of place is Shanghai?

That is the economic lifeline of the country, and the most lucrative treasure trove of tax revenue!
