Part 4 Chapter 203: Iron Ambition (10)
Singapore Port, the new flagship of the First Air Force under the First Mobile Fleet, the Kunpeng.
"It's so lonely, Miss Cai and Sister Xiao Qi are gone, such a refreshing flower of the First Voyage War is floating away like this, and it will really affect morale ......if it goes on like this."
On the terrace outside the aviation bridge, Lieutenant Colonel Jiang Ye, the second combat staff officer of the battle team headquarters, looked at the empty flight deck, his hands were softly propped up on the railing, and he said to himself listlessly.
"I feel the same way."
The sound of Ying He from behind him almost made Jiang Ye jump up in shock, only to see him turn around and stand upright like a spring, throw up his arms and salute.
"Commander...... I mean......"
"Okay, I know what you mean, I'm telling the truth."
The man in front of Jiang Ye with a brand-new second-class Blue Dragon Medal on his chest, a white and straight uniform, and a kind smile on his face was Lieutenant General Bi Lingbo, who had been the commander of the First Air Combat since the beginning of the war.
Jiang Ye scratched his head a little embarrassed: "This, hehe...... I didn't expect the commander to think the same way......"
"There will be motherships, there will be planes, there will be flowers of the team, please rest assured, the matter of the first air battle is my business, and I will not allow any factors that affect morale to spread in this army."
In the shadows on the other side of the hatch, the confident face of Major General Pan Guochen, the special commissioner of the base camp, poked out.
Jiang Ye hurriedly stood up straight and saluted again, and Bi Lingbo also deliberately turned around and nodded politely.
Pan Guochen was also interested, first straightened up and saluted Bi Lingbo, and then returned the salute to Jiang Ye, Bi Lingbo also returned the salute with satisfaction, and it seemed that the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
"Thanks to Commissioner Pan, the reorganization of the troops is going well, and the day after tomorrow I will go to Ceylon with Commander Liu, so Commissioner Pan will pack up his things when he is free......"
"What? Want to drive me away? ”
Pan Guochen spread his hands half-jokingly, took a step forward and completely walked out of the shadows, and Nanyang's blazing eyes suddenly shone directly on his snow-white and gold-decorated uniform, which suddenly burned and dazzling, and also made Pan Guochen, who was suddenly difficult to adapt, have to build a pergola with his hands and temporarily cover his eyes in front of his forehead.
Bi Lingbo blinked a little unexpectedly: "Commissioner Pan doesn't plan to ...... with us"
Pan Guochen lowered his head and smiled, strode to the edge of the terrace, leaned over to hold on to the railing, and nodded leisurely while looking out of the port: "I just have this intention, I just wonder if Commander Lu Daobi will find it inconvenient?" ”
Bi Lingbo smiled, paced to Pan Guochen's side with his back hand, looked at the wind and the ocean, and said with a relaxed heart: "Where is the matter, this commander can't ask for it, with Commissioner Pan here, any problem can be heard by the sky at any time, our first air battle is just going to be windy, and it will rain." ”
Pan Guochen humbly bowed his head: "Commander Bi said with a smile, how can I have so much energy as a small major general commissioner, this is all because the emperor cares about it, and it can be so unimpeded." ”
"Because this kind of thing disturbs the emperor, it really shouldn't be, it's a national funeral, the emperor is really tired, this is all our front-line generals are immoral and incompetent, and I am really terrified......"
As he spoke, Bi Lingbo took off his military hat and held it in his hand, faced the north, and bowed respectfully, Jiang Ye behind him didn't dare to just look at it, so he hurriedly followed suit.
"Commander Bi's loyalty can be seen, and the emperor will definitely feel very relieved if he knows it...... Look over there, the gift is coming. ”
Looking in the direction of Pan Guochen's finger, in the clear and clear sky, a lonely small plane was flying slowly towards the "Kunpeng".
"Gifts?" Bi Lingbo and Jiang Ye looked at each other, expressing puzzlement.
"The flower of your new clan."
Pan Guochen squinted and smiled, his expression ...... It's like Santa Claus who was bumped into by a child pretending to be asleep when he got into the chimney in the middle of the night to hand out gifts.
The plane is getting closer and lower, it turns out to be an HQZ-4 "Haizhendian" single-seat biplane carrier-based fighter that is still being tested, equipped with a Taipei Ocean Heavy Industry HK-11A 330-horsepower aero engine, with a maximum speed of 235 kilometers per hour, a combat range of 700 kilometers (380 nautical miles), equipped with millimeter fixed front-firing machine guns, and is the most excellent carrier-based fighter in the Imperial Navy so far.
The "Haizhendian" flew very steadily and accurately - it entered the passage route with a side turn, began to shake its wings, indicating "request to land", and then roared over more than ten meters above the flight deck, completing a clearance cleanly.
Jiang Ye, who was on the terrace, looked up at the weather vane on the top of the mast, and began to worry: "Commander, Commissioner Pan, the wind direction is not right, it's too risky...... Let her land at the airfield on the shore first, and when the day after tomorrow sails, the bow will turn to the wind, and it will not be too late to land with everyone. ”
Before Pan Guochen could speak, Bi Lingbo had already rushed to the bridge, snatched the microphone leading to the position of the ship's guide, and resolutely ordered: "Send a signal to let that plane go to the shore airfield first." ”
After waiting for half a cigarette, seeing that the plane was still hovering around the "Kunpeng", Bi Lingbo pulled up the microphone again and shouted, "What happened?" Did you send a signal? ”
The guide officer over there was also helpless: "It's been sent three times, it's impossible not to see it." ”
At this time, Pan Guochen, who had already followed up, said calmly: "It seems that she is very confident, so let her try it." ”
Bi Lingbo frowned: "No, safety first, the plane and the pilot are precious, besides, who is responsible for accidentally breaking the deck?" ”
"In that case, let me do it."
Pan Guochen stretched out his hand to make a request, but Bi Lingbo hesitated for a moment, but still handed him the microphone.
"Can you hear me? Flag that plane and say......"
A minute later, the wayward "Haiquake" finally turned its nose and flew to the Changi Naval Airfield on the shore.
Bi Lingbo, who breathed a sigh of relief, took the microphone handed back by Pan Guochen a little unpleasantly: "Even if you want to give this kind of gift, you should notify it in advance, the warship has the operating procedures of the warship, and no one can act willfully and recklessly......"
"I'm sorry, but I didn't expect this young lady to be so uncute...... But now that she's been there, it's time for those 'things' to arrive. ”
Bi Lingbo suddenly felt like a big enemy: "What? And gifts? Commissioner Pan, don't let me ......"
Pan Guochen tilted his head: "Please rest assured, this is not a gift for you, but come and see?" ”
"In that case, it doesn't hurt to take a look......"
The two returned to the terrace one after the other, but saw Jiang Ye leaning together in front of a high-powered telescope mounted on a steel base, muttering something to himself.
"Staff Officer Jiang, what good things have you seen?" Pan Guochen asked deliberately loudly
"Incredible...... It's definitely an illusion...... Where did all these flat-topped boats come from......"
Jiang Ye seemed to be still in a state of dream, but Bi Lingbo pushed him away in a hurry, leaned over to the telescope to take a look, and was dumbfounded.
"This ...... What's going on? These are all ...... from."
"See clearly, those are not warships, they are definitely not warships......
Pan Guochen smiled very treacherously.
