It's all about cost reduction.

When the United States was mired in the Vietnam War, many people reacted, why did it spend a lot of taxpayers' money and end up in a war that had nothing to do with their own side?

The anti-war sentiment of Americans has become serious, they do not want to invest tax revenues that should improve the living standards of the people into the bottomless pit of war, and at the same time, Congress has begun to lock its pockets and not allocate funds to various programs of the army, and the army has struggled to maintain its equipment, let alone the army wants to make its own movies.

Does the army want to turn into Hollywood?

The project was stuck by Congress, and the top brass of the Navy was embarrassed, and it costs money to invite big stars and big directors, and now, the Navy doesn't have that much money.

In later generations, this movie was only shot in the 80s, when the United States had already recovered, and now it is the poorest time, and the pension for the war death alone is enough for the government's finance minister to frown every day, who still gives the Navy money to make movies?

As the person in charge of this project, Jenny used her brains and actually came up with an alternative way to choose someone who had never made a blockbuster film to be the director, for free!

Jenny herself is the female lead, and Nathan, who wrote the script by hand, is the male lead, so that the most expensive part of the whole project has been solved, and the rest of the cost is very simple.

As for the number of aircraft that need to be used for filming, it is completely possible to go through the accounts of the Navy's own training, and there is no need to list them separately, which is definitely the lowest cost.

It's just that Nathan suffered, he didn't want to act in a movie, but he became the male number one, if he didn't act, then get out, if he acted well, after this movie was filmed, he could also be transferred from the US Navy Fighter Weapons School and return to service on the aircraft carrier.

Faced with all kinds of coercion and temptation, Nathan has no choice.

With the third-ranked medal in the military, Nathan and his old partner Steve came to the U.S. Navy Fighter Weapons School.

Because the base of this school is also set up at the Mirama Air Station. Therefore, they don't even have to change the pilot's dormitory, after all, there is only such a pilot's dormitory building here, and the pilots of the entire base live here.

At the same time, the school's facilities are also very rudimentary, and it is difficult to imagine that this weapons school, which has trained countless flying elites, was originally located on a movable trailer. The most extravagant piece of equipment is a coffee machine.

Now, with the fame of the school, there is a special office building for them to use, but the main backbone of the school still stays in this trailer to work, which can be regarded as a tradition.

"Navy Junior Lieutenant Colony, come to the school to report." Nathan said loudly.

On his side, Steve was just as loud as he was to report.

In front of them was the school's headmaster, Ort, the school's former founder.

Looking at the two of them, Oalter stood up: "I've heard about you, this is the place where the best pilots in the whole navy gather, only the most elite pilots can assume the role of instructors, in short, we are imaginary enemies, we compete with our students in the air, find out their shortcomings, improve their level, I am glad that you can join our team." ”

Because of its effectiveness in training pilots, many Navy pilots want to attend this school for further education, and if Nathan is still that Nathan, he must be too.

But now it's different, in the later life, he has undergone all kinds of training, although it can't be said that the level is the highest, but the huge knowledge reserve from the later life is enough to make up for Nathan's shortcomings, and he is the most advantageous here.

As a sparring partner, Nathan didn't have much interest in fighting against those students, not to mention getting him here, and more importantly, letting him shoot a movie.

"We used the A-4 and T-38 to simulate the MiG-17 and MiG-21, but the Soviets updated their weapons very quickly, and they already had the MiG-23 and MiG-25. Ault continued: "We can use the Tomcat fighter to simulate both types of fighters. ”

Most of the instructors here are piloting A-4 and T-38, although they have also changed to flying Tomcat fighters, but absolutely no one is as familiar as Nathan, although he has only flown for dozens of hours, but the control of the plane is already a combination of man and machine, and he can drive back the plane with half a wing, and no one doubts his level technically.

As a squadron of imaginary enemies, they needed to continue to emulate other aircraft of the Soviets.

The MiG-23, like the Tomcat fighter, is of variable swept wing structure, and in the intelligence of the Americans, this aircraft also seems to be powerful, although it has been equipped for several years, but it has not made much appearance on the battlefield, except for one appearance in the Fourth Middle East War, which also beat Israeli fighters to the bottom.

As for the MiG-25, it is even more terrifying aircraft capable of flying up to three times the speed of sound, this aircraft is mysterious in the eyes of the whole West, the crystallization of Soviet aviation technology, and full of science fiction.

Hearing Ault's words, Nathan almost blurted out that these two fighters are really not as good as the MiG-21 when they are really controlled!

The MiG-23 is quite heavy, it is simply taking the road of the F-4, although the variable sweep wing, it is manually adjusted, and the operation is complicated and inconvenient, as for the MiG-25, it is even more Western technicians who were deceived, thinking that they used titanium alloy at home, but in fact they used stainless steel at home.

When the words came to his mouth, Nathan quickly put them away, these things are still top secret in this era, and he can't talk nonsense, otherwise, how did he know? It's sure to raise suspicion again.

You can't do this thing over and over again.

"In order to further become proficient in the simulation, we specially invited a CIA intelligence officer, she has the authority to mobilize top-secret intelligence, and the data we need to have can be obtained through her, guards, please come over from the CIA." Aort said.

Guys from the CIA? It can't be Emily, right?

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and when Ault turned his head, he saw that familiar face, why did he guess so accurately every time?
