Between the thieves and the white clouds. Several fighter jets are flipping up and down. It's not lazy. It's just practicing.

Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime, this is the creed of the Chinese people, for the army. This creed is more about hard work. But for the Air Force, this creed means that the pilots can once again have fun in the sky.

It is impossible for a person who does not love flying to become a qualified pilot, and a qualified pilot is often a soldier who regards flying as a second life, which can basically be regarded as the truth.

As a qualified pilot, but also as a person who loves to fly, Meng Fei has always longed for the sky, even though he is now the deputy commander of the independent air force, but he still insists on participating in daily flight practice, and now, he and his "Wasp" fighter are soaring in the sky, acting as an enemy aircraft, in order to develop pilot combat skills.

This is over Lushun, the battle has long been over, but the remains of the war are still clearly visible, and the craters on the ground are direct evidence of the fierce war, and the Japanese ships sunk in the military port can also be seen as an intuitive impression of the great destructive power of this war.

In this war against Japan, the air force played an important role, and the center was very satisfied with the performance of the air force, and it is precisely for this reason that after the Chinese and Japanese governments announced a cease-fire, the center officially issued an order to form a regular independent air force, but at the same time, the establishment of army aviation and naval aviation was still retained to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the army and navy.

The shelves of the independent air force were erected, but because the army aviation and naval aviation dispersed a large number of air forces, the strength of the current independent air force has been weakened compared with the wartime.

Since the number of planes is insufficient, the most important task at present is to strengthen the quality of personnel, and it is for this reason that as long as the weather conditions permit, Meng Fei will urge the pilots to strengthen their training.

Now looking at the world, in the Far East can compete with the Zhongmu Air Force opponent has not yet appeared, but Meng Fei did not take this lightly, he is very aware of China's industrial strength, although now it is able to develop and manufacture qualified military aircraft, but after all, the national strength is limited, as long as the powers are given time, the powers may not be able to catch up in the air force. Since the current national industry is not enough to support the long-cherished aspiration of Mengfei to become an aviation power. Then, now we can only strengthen the quality of personnel first. He has always maintained that the Chinese navy lags far behind the world's advanced level, and that it is better to concentrate on developing the air force than to develop the navy, if the Chinese air force can be equipped with more than 10,000 military combat aircraft. Well, any enemy is not worth mentioning. The air force alone was able to defeat the enemy, and Meng Fei even submitted a report to the center. It is proposed that the central government should downsize the navy, or reorganize the navy into a purely submarine force in order to reduce the military spending of the navy. Replenish the military spending of the Air Force.

Blind optimism and finger-pointing for Meng Fei. The president severely criticized and clearly told Meng Fei that the main reason why he felt good in this war against Japan was that the Japanese air force was weak, and if it fought against the European powers, the Chinese air force might not be able to achieve the brilliant achievements it has now, and the key was not that the air force was strong in combat effectiveness, but that the Chinese air force did not have opponents of the same level for the time being.

Of course, the president appreciated Meng Fei's suggestion to vigorously develop the air force, and since the Chinese air force performed well in this war, then do not expect the great powers to neglect the construction of the air force, even the Japanese government is likely to eat a trench and grow wise. After the end of the war, the air force was vigorously displayed.

However, while the air force is being displayed, the army and navy must also be strengthened, after all. Air Force because of technical limitations. It is not yet possible to become the real protagonist of the war.

Meng Fei basically accepted the president's criticism, and he also realized an important problem, with the current central financial resources, it is obviously impossible to focus on the construction of the air force, China is a land power. Army building will always be the top priority, and unless aviation technology advances by leaps and bounds, it will be impossible for the Air Force to specialize in the United States.

The president also agreed with some of Meng Fei's opinions, such as that when major advances in aviation technology are made, the air force is likely to play a "key role" in the war. "But with the current level of aviation technology, the Air Force is still only a supporting role in the war, and even if it performs well, it is not as strategic as the Army.

Now, of course, the president has instructed the Aviation Agency. According to the little information that Meng Fei has obtained, the Aviation Administration is now studying a brand-new fighter plane, and the fuselage and wings of this fighter will be made of duralumin alloy as the main material.

But then again, until several technical difficulties with the new aircraft are overcome, the pilots of the Chinese Air Force will have to continue to fly the wooden fighter into the skies, and they will have to tolerate the constant motives. Due to its technological aggressiveness, the 250-horsepower aviation engine that the Wasp fighter is equipped with cannot be considered a full-fledged product. Due to the imperfection of the manufacturing process and the poor quality of gasoline, this kind of aviation power will fail without warning, and if it does not occur in time, it can be dealt with in the air. You can only return or make a forced landing.

Now, it has only been more than ten minutes since the start of this combat exercise, and the motive of Meng Fei's "Wasp" fighter has begun to scream, according to Meng Fei's book and the thin concave said that Xunshan's different body clams should be motivated to be hot, and he had to adjust the lower throttle valve. Chew the plane. Then he gave a real signal to the flight of those who received Pei and ordered them to return.

The other planes flew ahead to lead the way for the deputy commander, but fortunately, the malfunction was brought under control, and Meng Fei's "Wasp" fighter finally landed safely at the Lushun Field Airport.

As soon as the engine is turned off, the ground crew begins to overhaul the engine, and then writes a report as is customary, summarizes it and forwards it to the Aviation Administration. Provide input for improvement motivation.

As for Meng Fei, he returned to the office with a depressed face, summoned the staff officers, and studied the flight practice plan for the afternoon.

Just as Meng Fei and the staff officers were discussing passionately, a low motive roar came from the sky. It sounded like four heavy bombers, and Meng Fei and the others walked out of the office and looked at the sky, and saw a "vulture" heavy bomber hovering over the airport, apparently planning to be here

Fall.

The Arthur field airfield was built by the engineering troops, and the runway was deliberately run over several times by road rollers to land heavy bombers.

Wait for that heavy bomber to land. Only then did Meng Fei understand that the plane was on a reconnaissance mission, and the reason why it landed in Lushun instead of flying directly to Beijing was mainly in consideration of the safety of the cross-sea flight. And landing in Lushun, you can also refuel by the way. Then fly directly to Beijing.

This "vulture." The heavy bomber carried out reconnaissance missions along the coast of the Korean Peninsula. Although China and Japan have now declared an armistice, their strategic reconnaissance operations have not stopped because of this, and there are still quite a few air force planes carrying out strategic reconnaissance missions like this "vulture" heavy bomber, and Chinese air force planes can often be seen in the skies over the Korean Peninsula at present. It is precisely for this reason that the representatives of the Japanese peace talks have repeatedly protested, but at the insistence of the General Staff. The strategic reconnaissance mission was still being carried out, and the Japanese were helpless and did not dare to open fire and provoke.

To Meng Fei's surprise, the captain of this "vulture" heavy bomber turned out to be Qin Bing, and Qin Bing was the supreme commander of the heavy bomber unit.

Meng Fei and Qin Bing were very compatible, and their interests and hobbies were exactly the same, so as soon as the box was opened, they talked about Yin Bushi for half of the time. Through conversation, Meng Fei learned that the mission here was this "vulture." The last reconnaissance mission to the Korean Peninsula carried out by heavy bombers, etc., sent reconnaissance photos to the General Staff. Qin Bing will direct this heavy bomber to move to Inner Mongolia, and then use Inner Mongolia as a base to carry out strategic reconnaissance missions in Outer Mongolia. Reconnaissance was carried out on certain strategic targets in the territory of the Russian Empire, and several Vulture heavy bombers of the same type were also carried out on this mission.

Meng Fei was slightly surprised by such a blatant provocation by the General Staff, although he also knew that the General Staff would transfer a batch of planes to Inner Mongolia, but his imagination really did not keep up with the footsteps of the General Staff.

"Could it be that after fighting Japan, we are going to fight Russia again?" Meng Fei asked Qin Bing.

Qin Bing spread his hands and said, "You ask me." Who goes, I ask? Russia is now busy fighting a war with Germany in Europe, and according to the alliance treaty signed by the Entente, if we attack Russia at this time, it will be tantamount to declaring war on the Entente. By the way, you don't know about this now, but you are the deputy commander of the Air Force after all. The General Staff will tell you sooner or later, so you should ask the General Staff directly. ”

Qin Bing said easily, but Meng Fei couldn't sit still, he stood up, paced back and forth in the office, rubbing his hands together, as long as it was a familiar person around him, he knew it at a glance. He's a war addict again.

"Russia is a big place, it's easy to get lost, it's easy to get lost

Meng Fei muttered repeatedly, this state of enchantment made Qin Bing a little uneasy.

"Commander Meng, don't you want to fight again?

"Where, where. Now the General Staff hasn't told me about this, I'm going to ask for war now, didn't I expose your big mouth? ”

Meng Fei rubbed his hands, then walked back to the desk, sat back, rolled his eyes, and hurriedly took out the letterhead from the drawer.

"Meng Lie Ling, what are you doing?" Qin Bing asked.

"Send a telegram to the General Staff, and I will personally rush to the Aviation Administration with a batch of reports on the question of motives, and ask the General Staff for approval. I know the most about motivation, and I go the most. Meng Fei nodded solemnly.

But Qin Bing understood Meng Fei's true intentions. He is a war addict and wants to go to the General Staff to relieve his addiction, but I don't know if the General Staff will approve his request?

No matter what, Meng Fei still took a picture of this telegram, and to Qin Bing's surprise, the General Staff not only approved Meng Fei's request, but also made it clear that he was asked to go over to a meeting by the way. An important military meeting.
