In All Quiet in Peking, Fang Meng Ao is a character who has a very important influence on the overall situation. Both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party believe that he plays a very important role. I think the main reason is that Fang Meng Ao has the following few scarce points, which makes his help valuable in this war without gunpowder.

Ace pilot

In that era, the value of pilots was too important, and Fang Meng'ao was not an ordinary pilot, he was the ace pilot of the Kuomintang. What's more important is that he is the leader of the flying brigade, which is only driven by him and cannot be controlled by others. In the play, we have also seen that if Fang Meng Ao does not give orders, then no one can give orders. This is for the army to do other things; any order given by Fang Meng Ao, then this flying brigade will definitely use its life to execute it.

This has greatly improved Fang Meng Ao's personal value. His value is that an ace pilot belongs to his own special flying brigade. The value of such special forces can even be worth thousands of troops at critical moments.

Fang Meng Ao's father, who has a rich family background, was the president of the Peiping branch. He could be said to be the money bag of the Kuomintang at that time, and he had to be said to be in a high position of authority. It is not difficult to see that Fang Buting had a very large backend. It was in charge of all the production materials in Peiping at that time, and was backed by the Kong and Song families.

Although the father and son did not behave very harmoniously at the beginning, Fang Buting has always been Fang Mengyao's father. The economic foundation determines the superstructure . In this struggle, Fang Buting's role is still very important.

Fang Meng Ao's younger brother Fang Meng Wei also held important positions in the National Government . Deputy Chief of the Peking Police Department, it is true that Fang Mengwei's position in this position is largely due to Fang Buting's profound influence, but this position is also particularly important.

Strong sense of justice

Chiang Ching-kuo appointed Fang Meng-ao, not caring whether it was the Communist Party or not. What he liked was that Fang Meng-ao also hated the corruption of the Kuomintang. He believed in appointing Fang Mengyao because he believed that Fang Mengyao could help him fight against the serious corruption of the Kuomintang. Just like what Chiang Ching-kuo said about Zeng Keqi , don’t trust those who are employed, and use those who are suspicious. When you appoint Fang Meng Ao, don’t care whether he is a Communist or not. Judging from the fact that Fang Meng Ao was not a member of the Iron-Blooded Salvation Congress, although many people believed that Chiang Ching-kuo was behind Fang Meng-ao, Chiang Ching-kuo just wanted to use Fang Meng-ao as his sword. Even if Fang Meng'ao ends up being a Communist, he is still a good knife. Under the current situation, he is the only knife that can pierce the deep corruption of the Kuomintang.

Our party also deeply believes that although Fang Mengyao has a stubborn personality and is difficult to manage, he will put the people and the overall situation first. Fang Meng'ao's subsequent performance also proved that our party had not misjudged the person.

Fang Meng Ao’s status as an ace pilot made him a scarce resource of that era. And the resources behind his family background have become the target of the political struggle. Coupled with his pure nature, no matter which party can win over him, it can affect the current situation.
