In the future, there is an interesting saying in the geopolitical and economic circles on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, which is called XX is too close, and heaven is too far.

In fact, the same is true for the large aircraft project of the West Flight, the commercial aircraft is too close, the Soviet Union is too far, the purpose of Qi Guangming's meeting is to unify the mind, if there are no other ideas, there will be no need to open at all, so it is not surprising that someone sacrificed the banner of the Soviet-style large aircraft.

The problem is whether the Soviet-style large plane is good or not, and the world's first-class technical level of jets, but whether people sell it or not, don't say that the West Flying is not counted, the Republic has no influence on this point, even if it is sold to you at an affordable price, it is a big question, if it is not bad for money, ten years earlier, it will go to the other side of the Pacific Ocean to buy 141 How good, in one step.

Because of the educational background of the technical leader, the aviation industry circle of the republic has had a dispute between the Anglo-American line and the Soviet since the founding of the People's Republic of China, for example, Academician Wu Zhonghua is the representative of the Anglo-American technical line, the southern factory is one of the bases of the Anglo-American line, and the northern factory is the nest of the Soviet line. The big factories in the southwest adopt the doctrine of taking, and people don't care what the United States and the Soviet Union are, as long as they are useful to me, they will all use them for my use, and they hardly consider some bullshit.

For example, the flight control telex was the first to be initiated by the southern factory, and the southwest factory felt that it was good and took the lead in introducing it, and the flight control telex of the northern factory was hey~, hey~, hey~.

Since Xifei is the only seedling of the Republic to build a large aircraft, the overall style is neutral, but there is a dispute between the line of Britain and the United States and the Soviets, and Qi Guangming's so-called unification ideology is the key point.

Science and technology research and development, this thing before the success of no one dares to pack a ticket to say what will be done, once the R & D level is delayed for three years or two years, do not eliminate some sprouts in advance, and talk about the ugly things ahead, then it will really be stuck in some hindsight, and it will not be able to bear it.

Not to mention the rectification of the mind of the West Flyer, after Belfast took off, it climbed to an altitude of 7,300 meters in a short time due to the empty load.

Recently, a mass of high-pressure air from the Mongolian Plateau moved southward, making the northwest region of the Republic full of large areas of fine weather, at an altitude of nearly 8,000 meters, the entire skyline below is a bright light blue color bar, the width of the color bar is much wider than 10,000 meters of flight, above the light blue color bar is a narrow white line, above the white line is the extremely deep purple blue and then quickly transition into the dark background of the universe.

The co-pilot, Wang Peng, looked at the external data transmitted by the weather radar, handed over the flight to the cruise computer for automatic driving, and then took a few big sips of the white water cup from the cup holder.

The standard Belfast crew is a four-person establishment, the captain and co-pilot plus the mechanic and the navigator, but because Ning Lei turned to other thoughts, the domestic Belfa crew has always been over-flown flight, anyway, the plane is large and spacious, and there are always three crew formations together when there are flight tasks, and there are twelve crew members for each flight.

Three crews, one flying, one learning/monitoring, one resting, fortunately, Beifa is carrying out long-distance missions, and the three crews can also take turns to fly.

Although this flight was a secret mission, the crew formation was still three, but the range of activities was limited.

The Belfast transport aircraft is the first large transport aircraft on the planet to use an autopilot as an auxiliary flight equipment, so the work intensity of the aircraft crew is very easy after the automatic cruise of the aircraft is turned on.

Wang Peng put down the water glass, turned his head to look at Dong Gang, who was studying behind him, and said, "How are you feeling recently, how about you take off and land on an ordinary mission next time?"

This time, because it was a secret mission, Beifa was in charge of flying by an experienced veteran crew throughout the whole process, and if it was a normal mission, Dong Gang was familiar with the plane in the co-pilot during the cruise time.

"Captain, I personally think it's okay, but I hope the captain can monitor me behind me when I take off and land. ”

After the mountain-moving exercise, under the operation of Ninglei, the all-weather transport aircraft brigade of half of the Republic was retired as a whole and transferred to super-heavy air cargo.

Aircraft take-off and landing is one of the most critical difficulties in flight, although Befa has automatic landing aids, but when training pilots must be operated by hand, only after thorough familiarity with the means of landing, pilots are allowed to rely on the use of automatic landing equipment to stop at the airport.

"No problem, the next mission will be up to you to fly, I thought I would go to Xifei to pull things, but I didn't expect that it would have been nearly a month since I squatted, otherwise you would have been qualified to fly." ”

Wang Peng complained a little, and then it caused a great resonance in the cab.

When Wang Peng and others retired, Ning Lei attended the retirement ceremony, and at that time Ning Lei directly stated that it was only military uniforms that were retired, not people, and once the French production was successful, Wang Peng and others would be recruited to serve as seed instructors for the Republic's strategic transport fleet.

"Team Wang, it shouldn't make a difference whether we retire or not, we can even fly on top-secret missions, and we don't necessarily have this opportunity in the army, right?"

Wei Qiyang, who was in the main driver's seat, asked a little curiously.

Generally speaking, the secret is enough to prevent Xifei from inquiring, and it is eye-catching to send a top secret in the past, but the pilot of the close contact mission told the truth, reminding the pilot of this flight of the importance of this flight.

"It's not convenient to wear a military uniform to go overseas, and our main route in the future is likely to be overseas. ”

The remaining Beifa of overweight transportation is currently mainly engaged in delivering Shangri-La pagers, which are basically point-to-point between Shencheng and other provincial capitals of the Republic.

However, according to Dongfeng Express's plan, once the pet eggs are listed on the market and Yuanjia's export is normalized, Belfast will be put into the international freight route from the Republic to overseas.

The journey from Chang'an to Lancheng is not far, with a cruising speed of more than 500 kilometers in Belfast, it only took a little more than an hour, but before the plane landed, the crew had already found from the air that the entire Lancheng airport had completely entered a state of blockade.

About a battalion of troops had already surrounded the airfield, but fortunately in the nineties there were few flights in the Republic, and even the temporary closure of the airfield did not have a major impact.

Belfast's altitude slowly decreased, and after rounding half the airport, the plane aimed at the runway and began to land, even sliding with brakes, and after five minutes, Belfast finally reached the tarmac at the end of the runway.

On the tarmac, three army-green liberation trucks were parked side by side, and the truck's cargo bridge was covered with a camouflage net that was also army green.

"Xiao Dong, I, Xiao Wei, will not go down if I am ready to return to the flight, your crew and Xiao Chu's crew will go to the cargo hold together to see if there is anything you need help with. ”

Before Belfast, the Republic had never used large planes to carry goods at all, and there was no crew to go down to command, and the comrades who came down to deliver goods would definitely be blindfolded.

In fact, the 1st Battalion of the 481st Regiment of Lancheng, which was responsible for the transportation of light water, had already been blindsided after Belfast entered the approach route to the airport.

Due to the nuclear industry, the 481st Regiment stationed in Lancheng receives one or two top-secret escort missions almost every three or five years, but most of them are mostly transported by rail, and the delivery of such a large plane has never been done in the entire history of the 26th Division.

"Political commissar, where did this guy come from? I haven't heard that the Air Force is equipped with big planes!"

Fan Entian, commander of the 481st Regiment, happened to go down to inspect the work of the unit today, and after receiving the vigilance task arranged by his superiors, he followed the first battalion to the scene.

"Regiment commander, it seems that this plane is definitely not from the Air Force, if the Air Force does not say anything else, it is at least enough for the Air Force to blow the military report for half a year, and it is impossible to put it into use, and there is no news at all in the military newspaper. ”

Wei Chaoqun, the political commissar of the 841st Regiment, expressed his opinion.

While the two were talking, Belfast fell from the air to the ground, and when the plane got closer, looking at the four golden "heavy transport" small seal characters on the tail, Fan Entian and Wei Chaoqun were sure that the plane was most likely domestic.

In these years, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan were originally proud of foreign languages, and only people who were born in the mainland and were deeply influenced by traditional culture could use small seals on aircraft paints.

Fan Entian and Wei Chaoqun stared at each other for a while, and both of them tacitly wondered whether this top-secret mission was top secret for this big plane, or was the three boxes with radioactive warning symbols on the truck top secret?

Before the two could figure out anything, with the sound of the motor, Befa's tailgate slowly opened, and three or four aircraft crew members dressed in the civil aviation uniforms of the Republic walked out of it.

"Which comrade is the one who delivered the supplies?"

"We are all, I am Fan Entian, the head of the 841st Regiment who is responsible for transporting materials, and my department was ordered to transport a batch of Type A materials to Lancheng Airport~~. ”

"I am Cui Honglie from the northwest of AIA, and I was ordered to transfer a batch of Type A materials to Lancheng Airport~~. ”

With Dong Gang's questioning, he got on the line with the leader of the department responsible for the transportation of light water outside.

Listening to the familiar language format, Dong Gang almost replied to the XX Transport Aircraft Brigade of our department, and was ordered to transport Type A materials to Shencheng Airport.

These words slipped around his tongue and were swallowed back by Dong Gang in time.

"Hello comrades, I am Dong Gang, the trainee captain of Unit 1012 of the Eurasian Super Heavy Transport Company, and I was appointed by the company to come to Lancheng to pick up and carry a batch of materials. ”

AIA's Cui Honglie has interned in Yuanjia's security department and also trained in rotation on Hong Kong Island, although he doesn't know much about Yuanjia than Weng Chengji, but his eyes have been opened, and he knows that there is an NB company that is very big and even looks like AIA's tertiary industry, which is rising rapidly in the Republic and Hong Kong Island.

Therefore, when the object of his joint is a company, Cui Honglie feels strange, but it stops at being strange.

However, Fan Entian's feeling is completely different, after so many years of top-secret escort tasks, the party that connects is either a certain department or a certain institute, and the party that has never been connected is in the name of the company.

Most of the state-owned enterprises of the Republic of China in this year are called a certain factory with a digital number, and it is either a foreign company or a leather bag that comes up to call the company, Dong Gang said that the company came out and almost ruined Fan Entian's three views, although Fan Entian did not know what was being transported in the liberation truck, but the dark green radioactive symbol on the box that represented extreme danger was mentioned that Entian still knew.

For a while, all kinds of messy ideas such as what is the surname of the society, the surname of the capital, the peaceful evolution, the 300% profit, and the final noose all came out of Fan Entian's head.

Shaking his head, as if he had shaken out all kinds of reliable or unreliable thoughts, Fan Entian suddenly remembered that this had been changed, and it was likely that a certain department had been reorganized into a company out of the need to operate abroad.

Now that the name of the company has come out, I can finally confirm that the Type A materials I escorted are definitely not something that kills people in an instant, Fan Entian recalled a little easily.

"Captain Dong Gang, such a big plane, we haven't delivered the goods yet, should I let the soldiers unload the truck first~"

Fan Entian glanced at Belfast's wide and tall tailgate and the tailgate transport springboard that had been set up automatically, and asked in a questioning and curious tone.

"The car goes directly to the plane, and there is a heavy-duty pulley set in the cargo hold, which can be unloaded directly from the cargo hold. ”

In the 90s, the airport cargo was transported by forklifts with cargo transfer belts, although Lancheng Airport also had this set of transfer equipment, but because of the big radioactive sign on the transport mark, neither the airport nor Fan Entian planned to use this set of equipment, even if there was no leakage, the equipment that carried this kind of radioactive material must be cleaned afterwards.

The troop's cars are easy to say, and they will be cleaned when they are cleaned, and there is only one cargo transfer belt at Lancheng Airport, and once the cleaning procedure is carried out, the airport will be paralyzed.

Hearing Dong Gang say that there was a pulley set inside the cabin that could be unloaded, Fan Entian signaled to start loading the cargo.

In first gear, the engine of the Liberation truck roared softly and propelled the hull over the ramp of the cargo compartment ramp into Belfast's wide cabin.

Dong Gang's crew had already calculated the counterweight of the plane, and commanded the liberation truck to stop at the designated place, and several soldiers of the 841st Regiment followed the truck into the cargo hold, looking left and right curiously.

"Just unload it here. ”

As Dong Gang arranged the location, a moment later, the sound of the pulley group working sounded in the cabin.

"Captain Dong, which unit is in charge of your heavy transportation? China Resources, China Merchants or Air China?"

China Resources is the Eighth Route Army in the anti-Japanese period to establish overseas procurement enterprises, the history of investment can be traced back to the Beiyang era before the Republic of China, these two are the main tentacles of the official capital of the Republic of China overseas, Air China needless to say, if not split the country's civil aviation aircraft are attributed to Air China.

In Fan Entian's opinion, these three departments can afford to build large aircraft outside the army.

"COMAC. ”

Dong Gang was concise and to the point.

"COMAC?. ”

Fan Entian felt that he had never heard of this name, and most of the public reports of COMAC in the Republic of China were CMB Aerospace, and the official appearance in China was Kuifan Business Jet Manufacturing Co., Ltd., which was established in Hudong not long ago.

In order to better enter the overseas market, although COMAC's first aircraft technology came from CMB Aerospace, it did not continue the number of the CM series in the end, but took the form of paying tribute to history and named Clipper.

Although Clipper is not well-known in the new century, in the history of human aircraft in the 20th century, Clipper has left an incomparably strong mark, the first aero-engine tail crane layout, the first triangular porthole, the first European jet airliner exported to the United States, the first European jet aircraft to achieve profitability, the first passenger aircraft to meet the three-class blind landing standard, the first passenger aircraft designed with a tail boarding door, the first commercial jet to launch a special cargo aircraft model, and so on.

France can confront the empire on which the sun never sets for hundreds of years, and even the global police in the new century are created by France in the past, and the national heritage is still very deep, after the end of World War II, France, which realized that the country was about to fall into recession, had a desperate plan to form a federation with the old rival Britain, and promote the integration of Britain and France to establish the third pole of the world.

The business jet itself is the product of technology, fashion, and luxury, and the borrowing method (here must be the fourth sound) national brand is definitely more acceptable to the market than the Republic brand and the German brand, so COMAC acquired the Caravelle brand from the French aerospace group through Snecma.

"Republic Commercial Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd. ”

Dong Gang repeated the full name of COMAC once, Fan Entian felt that he still hadn't heard of it, and it was normal for those who could fly top-secret missions to not hear of it, so Fan Entian decided not to ask.

On the issue of the name of COMAC, the two talked about "day" to death, but fortunately, for large aircraft cargo, one of them was the first time, and the other was also a novice with little experience, and they both watched with great interest the three liberation trucks in turn to unload and fix.

In a quiet and efficient atmosphere, the three boxes marked radioactive markers were securely secured in the middle of the cargo hold.

Evacuate, close the tailgate, start the turboprop engine, apply for tower release, taxi, taxi, take off~, 7300+ seconds after Belfast landed at Lancheng Airport, and flew into the sky again.

Squinting his eyes, seeing that the white, blue and gold Beifa had disappeared into the distant skyline, Fan Entian retracted his gaze and issued an order full of anger, and the various departments collected their equipment and evacuated.

"Political commissar, this mission has really come out with a long experience, and the size of this plane is simply amazing. ”

"Haha, regiment commander, I chatted about something when I was chatting just now, I just looked at these people who were walking with us, and I found out that they had only recently changed careers this year, and they were all all-weather pilots of the 31st Air Transport Division. ”

In this year of the republic, all-weather pilots, even if they fly transport planes, are diamonds in gold, and the age of the crew members who show up is in the prime of flying, and they can be transferred in batches without asking, and there must be deep involvement of the military.

The army of the republic in this year can't help but discuss, the two looked at each other and smiled, and directly regarded the confused COMAC as a company similar to United Airlines.

Not to mention the two step-by-step lifting of the alert of Lancheng Airport and returning to the station, the second take-off of Belfast is a bit far, Lancheng to Shencheng is about 2000 kilometers, in the northwest when a clear sky, but Beifa flew away from the Loess Plateau into the North China Plain after hitting the thunderstorm head-on, from 7300 meters of cruising altitude to 9600 meters after crossing a large thunderstorm cloud, Belfast from the Bohai Sea into the Liaodong Peninsula.

Wang Peng looked at the coastline that was already clearly visible under the wings, and reported his new direction to the microphone: "Flight L2021 has crossed the waters of Yingkou and is expected to arrive at Taoxian Airport in twenty minutes." ”

Taoxian Airport, located in the south of Shencheng, still maintains a situation of people coming and going, and the entire airport is not alerted like Lancheng, what is the thing Liang Yuan knows in his heart, and the radioactive sign just looks scary.

At 5:35 p.m., Belfast, which had traveled thousands of kilometers for most of the day, finally pulled ten tons of light water and docked on the No. 3 apron of Taoxian International Airport.

Although there is no martial law at Taoxian Airport, there are more than 100 Yuanjia security personnel who have come over, even if Liang Yuan knows that the things transported are basically harmless, but this flight mission is a top secret horn, and the scene has to be taken seriously.

Yuanjia's security department is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and it is not too easy to pull a cordon, and a big man wearing a black stand-up collar tunic and large sunglasses is not only scattered near the No. 3 tarmac, but all the commanding heights of the airport are also under the control of the security department.

"Uncle Weng, are you fighting terrorism?"

Liang Yuan looked at a dark green digitally painted tracked armored transport vehicle suitable for the northeast region parked next to the No. 3 tarmac with a smile and a smile.

"I think I saw a heavy sniper when I came in. ”

Ning Wanjia leaned against Liang Yuan's ear and added.

"Let the activities below move their bodies, lest their business be rusty, and Xiaoyuan will not lack these few oil dollars. ”

Weng Seung-gi said with a smile.

Liang Yuan thought about it, and felt that it was not a matter to keep looking for opportunities to train like this, and the last time he attacked a small organization with social vitality in the bathing center, Weng Chengji also dispatched armored vehicles, and asked tentatively: "Or, let Uncle Weixin and the military region ask for the establishment of a militia regiment?" ”

"Xiaoyuan, this is a good idea!"

Weng Chengji rubbed his hands excitedly, and after a while, he knew that he probably had to run around with Liang Yuan and the twins, and after all, he didn't recommend himself to be the head of this militia regiment.

"Xiaoyuan, you just look at it, when the militia regiment is established, we will all cover the national competition. ”

Influenced by the theory of all-people war in the Republic in the 60s, the militia building of the Republic in the 90s was much larger than in the future, and most of the reserve training in the Republic after the new century was mainly based on disaster relief and personal tactical capabilities, while in the 90s there were militia divisions, for example, the Shougang Militia Division in Beijing had infantry, artillery, armor, reconnaissance, engineering, and even anti-chemical warfare troops under its jurisdiction.

Weng Chengji's national militia contest is roughly once every two or three years, and the largest scale will be to dispatch active troops to confront the militia reserve at the battalion and company level.
