"Do you know what the old chief is doing now?"

Walking slowly along the parallel road, Shi Leilei asked the two of them.

Cao Fufei spread his hands and said, "I don't know. Some time ago, I participated in the solo flight of the growth class students at the Naval Aviation Academy training base. The students in the growth class were personally selected by Lao Li, and he valued them very much."

"Lao Zhu, do you know?" Shi Leile asked Zhu Wei.

Zhu Wei looked at the Fertile Land Naval Flight Training Base. The changes here have been great. He visited once a few years ago. At that time, it was still in a desolate state. Now it has basically taken shape, with everything you need, and it has become the shore-based base camp of the Flying Shark Troops.

"I can reveal something. Lao Li presided over the modification training of fourth-generation aircraft in Beiku." Zhu Wei said.

Shi Leilei said in surprise, "The Falcon Brigade has modified its fourth-generation aircraft?"

"No, the Falcon Brigade will not modify the fourth-generation aircraft for some time in the future. The first batch of modified fourth-generation aircraft will be the troops of the 300th Division." Zhu Wei explained, "Lao Li is flying everywhere now and is very busy."

Although Comrade Li Zhan, the old leader they call, has not left front-line flying work, his flying time is on a downward trend every year. However, he himself has become an aerialist. He works here today and may fly to another place tomorrow.

go.

"There is nothing we can do about it. He needs to take the lead in organizing many projects, and many projects are inseparable from his guidance and decision-making. I talked to Lao Li the day I joined the growth class and started my solo career. He was also helpless, especially when it came to the restrictions imposed by his superiors.

He was not very happy to lose his flight time," Cao Fufei said.

Zhu Wei smiled and said, "Old Li is still the same old Li. The little prince of the pull rod has become the old prince of the pull rod."

The three of them laughed.

Cao Zoufei suddenly remembered something and said, "The East Ship Command submitted a recommendation list. It was the list of pilots from the aviation unit to be converted to Flying Shark. The Haisi approved it. Just in time, Lao Zhu, please help the staff."

"No problem, but my vision is not as vicious as Lao Li's. I can only express my personal opinion." Zhu Wei said with a smile.

"Lao Zhu, you have to believe in yourself. You are also someone who has contributed greatly to building a strong People's Air Force." Shi Leilei said with a smile behind his hands.

Zhu Wei joked, "Shitou, I find that you are looking more and more like the old leader now."

"Is the old chief the one we should learn from?" Shi Leilei raised his chin and said.

After getting off the plane, Zhu Wei saw the clues. Shi Leilei's behavior, manners, and speech all had the shadow of Li Zhan. It was obvious that Shi Leilei regarded Li Zhan as someone to learn from. Li Zhan's attitude towards Shi Leilei was

The profound impact is evident.

In fact, it’s not just Shi Leile.

Two young captains wearing spring and autumn training uniforms, hats and belts stood at attention on the edge of the parallel road and saluted. Zhu Wei and the other three returned the salute and nodded slightly. Shi Leilei glanced at Li Hai's nameplate clearly, pointed at Li Hai and said

, "Are you Li Hai who was in danger of hitting a bird on his first solo flight?"

"Reporting to the leader! I am Li Hai!" Li Hai was very nervous and answered without squinting.

Shi Leilei pointed at Li Hai, "You have a bright future."

The three of them smiled and continued walking forward slowly.

Li Hai and Dang Weimin slowly relaxed their hearts and breathed a heavy sigh of relief. They watched the three school officers walking away chatting and laughing, with envy in their eyes. They longed to become pilots like them, and in their spare time

When walking along parallel roads or trackside, you are like a lion patrolling his territory, with a sense of control in every move you make.

That's right, it's a sense of control.

Li Hai said, "Yes, the sense of control, yes, it is the sense of control."

Dang Weimin looked at Li Hai in surprise and said, "What are you talking about in your sleep in broad daylight?"

"The sense of control, old man, the sense of control." Li Hai finally looked away from the backs of the three retreating school officers and said seriously, "Old man, the sense of control, isn't it the sense of control that matters when we fly airplanes?

Why? Why are you on a simulator? In addition to familiarizing yourself with cockpit operations, what else can you do?"

"It feels like man and machine are integrated into one," the teacher said every day. "Dang Weimin said.

Li Hai raised his hand and pointed at the backs of the three school officers who were walking away, "Did you see that there is a sense of manipulation that overflows from the gestures of those three chiefs!"

"It's over, what happened to you kid? Did you eat up the exhaust fumes from the J-15 that just took off in a ski jump?" Dang Weimin pointed to the simulation deck and asked in surprise.

Li Hai waved his hand, "I can't tell you clearly."

"Okay, okay, let's go, let's go back." Dang Weimin grabbed Li Hai, and the two slowly walked toward the infield along the way they came. They met a car and hitched a ride.

Shi Leilei and Cao Fufei sent Zhu Wei to his residence and helped him settle in. Shi Leilei said, "Old Zhu, how is this room? You are at the deputy division level. We have arranged a room with two bedrooms and one living room for you, and you are treated like a full division division master."

."

"Isn't it suitable?" Zhu Wei was very surprised. This base is newly built, everything is new, but it is still a newly built base, and the supporting facilities are still being improved. The specifications of this suite surprised him a bit.

Unexpected.

Cao Zhengfei said, "It's appropriate, why isn't it? You had a real job in your original unit, and you sacrificed a lot to be an ordinary pilot here. It's definitely appropriate to arrange a better residence. Besides, this is what Deputy Commander Dai personally explained."

Zhu Wei smiled and said, "Then I'll be disrespectful. To be honest, it's just a place to sleep."

"Where will my wife and children stay?" Shi Leilei sat on the sofa and crossed his legs, patting the sofa and said, "After we have settled in, let my sister-in-law bring the children to visit relatives. Living in this house is definitely better than a guest house."

After sitting down, Cao Fufei said, "Lao Zhu, your transfer to Fertile Land is not a short-term transfer. Maybe you will be stationed here permanently in the future. Deputy Commander Dai asked me to seek your opinion and see if you can do the work of caring for family members."

Come this way."

Zhu Wei nodded slightly and said, "I have discussed it with her, but her career in Beiku has just started. You don't know, my family is more enterprising. In order to support my work, she gave up her high-paying job in a central enterprise.

When she went to Beikku, her son finally went to elementary school. She finally had some time to do her own business. She set up some kind of publicity company to promote Beikku's agricultural products and tourist attractions on the Internet, which can be regarded as a part of local poverty alleviation.

The project was only slightly improved at the beginning of this year, and she is not willing to leave the mess and come over at this time."

"My sister-in-law is very powerful. She has a master's degree from a prestigious university. If she hadn't become a military wife, my sister-in-law might have a higher administrative level than Lao Zhu." Shi Leilei said.

"So that's it." Cao Fufei said, "Deputy Commander Dai said that if the family members come over, the army will be responsible for contacting and making arrangements, and it will be no problem to establish a business establishment. The army will be responsible for coordinating arrangements for housing and children's schooling."

Zhu Wei waved his hand and said with a smile, "No need, my family has ideals and wants to do something real for the people of Beiku. Now that she has the time, let her do it. I actually hope she can

Make some contribution to the local poverty alleviation work. Lao Cao, I accept Deputy Commander Dai’s wishes. Give the quota to comrades who need it more. I’m really fine here. I’m a free man now. I can go wherever you want.

Well, I don’t need to take care of my wife and children anymore, haha!”

They all laughed, but everyone knew how much he owed his wife and children.

Cao Fufei said, "Okay, then I won't be pretentious. As long as Commander Fang Chenghe doesn't say that we, Feisha, have treated Beiku's brothers badly."

"Hahaha, no, no, definitely not." Zhu Wei laughed.

A staff officer came and reported to Cao Zoufei and handed him a list of names.

Cao Fufei handed it to Zhu Wei and said, "Old Zhu, please help me take a look at the recommended list and brief information of the ship commander."

Shi Leilei started making tea. Zhu Wei looked through the list and noticed that two of them were very unusual. He pointed at them and said, "Are these two flying carrier-based helicopters?"

"Well, yes, the old Dolphins passed the first round of selection." Cao Fufei took a look and nodded.

Zhu Wei nodded slightly, "The helicopter-turned-fighter also passed the first round of the Flying Shark selection. These two are a bit interesting. In my opinion, these two people, um, Zhan Yuntian and Zhao Feiyan, should all come over."

"Then do as you wish."

Cao Goufei was very happy. Of course, it is not that simple. Many meetings have been organized for research and discussion. Let Zhu Wei, a flight expert, take a look at it now, which can further prove that the conclusions formed by the meeting are solid.

The Old Dolphin Regiment, the Navy's first carrier-based aircraft unit and carrier-based helicopters, introduced a batch of legal "Dolphin" carrier-based helicopters to equip domestic destroyers and frigates. This regiment is the originator of the Navy's carrier-based aircraft unit.

While the three officers were discussing, Zhao Feiyan and Zhan Yuntian were still in the vast Indian Ocean. The formation that had completed the escort mission was sailing towards the motherland and was expected to return to its home port in five days.

Zhao Feiyan and Zhan Yuntian were sitting in the flight duty room in the hangar. The former was holding a tablet to check the cloud map, while the latter was lying on the table staring at the scaled-down J-15 aircraft model in trance.

The alarm suddenly sounded.

"Battle alert! Battle alert!" the commander on duty shouted in the ship's broadcast system.

The two men stood up suddenly, rushed over, picked up their flight helmets, and rushed outside. A "domestic Dolphin" carrier-based helicopter painted in gray and white had been parked on the flight deck, ready to take off at any time.

"Captain Feiyan, Vice Captain Yuntian, the battle situation information has been synchronized to the tactical tablet. The situation is urgent. The captain requires us to take off first and then make a plan!" the combat staff officer ran down and said to Zhao Feiyan and Zhan Yuntian.

"clear!"

Zhao Feiyan and Zhan Yuntian quickly boarded the plane. The maintenance staff sent a signal. Zhao Feiyan on the main pilot started the engine, and the co-pilot Zhan Yuntian checked and confirmed the main pilot's operations according to the procedures.

"The power system is good, the self-test of the flight control system is normal, the control surface is normal, and the communication system is good..."

They are partners, and they usually switch the driving position.

Under normal circumstances, the ship dispatches one helicopter, and the other one is either under maintenance or on standby. The air crew consists of two groups of four pilots, who rotate in groups. Zhao Feiyan and Zhan Yuntian are both veterans with ten years of flying experience.

, in other words, their flying career has reached the best stage in their lives.

The "Domestic Dolphin" carrier-based helicopter lowered its head and took off from the flight deck at the stern of the ship, turning quickly while climbing to altitude. Zhao Feiyan skillfully controlled the aircraft with the joystick and flew towards the mission sea area.

"Feiyan No. 1, the weather data has been transmitted. Pay attention to the lower clouds in the west. There may be a rainfall process. Over." the command center reminded.

"Feiyan No. 1 received, completed." Zhan Yuntian replied immediately, and then quickly checked the tactical tablet and said, "The fishing boat in fifteen nautical miles is in danger. It is an ocean fishing boat and has sent an emergency signal for help. The specific information is waiting to be reported. At present,

The weather will not change much, and rainfall may occur in the lower clouds in the west."

"Received." Zhao Feiyan looked back and saw that the crew cabin was empty. She lowered her head and looked back again. No speedboat appeared near the mothership, so she said, "There are no speedboats and no special operations personnel. Isn't it because we encountered pirates?"

"Probably not. The ship's instructions have arrived. Our task is to find out the situation." Zhan Yuntian said, looking back, he saw that the mothership was turning left at a large angle, and a long white arc-shaped wake was drawn on the stern of the ship.

.

Zhao Feiyan took apart a piece of chewing gum and threw it into her mouth, and said with a smile, "Is it just to find out? When will we have a real fight? Practice, practice, practice to fight."

"Just wait." Zhan Yuntian said helplessly, "Maybe there will be a chance for the Flying Shark Force. After all, it is a fixed-wing carrier-based fighter, the best equipment for sea attacks."
