"Good morning, General." When Ron showed up in the morning jogging team as usual, McGaa, who was running next to him, said to him, "What a beautiful night last night!" ”

"Come on, Mike, don't rub salt into Chief Ron's wounds. The chief returned at 11 o'clock last night. One guy added. It takes an hour and a half to drive from the base to the city, which means that Ron will be on his way home at half past nine at most. And the show ended at 8 o'clock, and when it was full, Ron stayed with Nadya for a little more than an hour.

"Ah, in that case, Chief Ron isn't charismatic enough." Bunge also interjected.

"Nonsense, you don't understand Chief Ron's style at all. The chief has always been very efficient, and in an hour and a half, he can already do a lot of things. It's just that sir, you just threw people back when something happened, you are really ruthless! In the last half of the sentence, McGay deliberately pinched his throat, trying to imitate the woman's voice, and deliberately put on a resentful expression.

With a bang, the morning jogging team burst into laughter, and the whole team was in chaos.

"McGaa, if you really want to become a woman, we can all help you!" Ron's face sank.

"Boss, I didn't mean to......"

……

There's nothing going on with the Bat Molotov cocktail these days, so Ron must take this opportunity (1) (Ben ~ read (novel) ybdu, and hurry up to complete the plan for the expansion of the "Reverse Cross".

Ron intended to complete the easier reorganization of the fighter unit first, and the two squadrons of the fighter unit were basically arranged like this now. Of the two squadrons, the "Cerberus" squadron is mainly responsible for training escort fighter pilots in how to fight large groups of enemy interceptors, while the "Black Angel" squadron is mainly responsible for single and small group confrontation of fighter pilots. But now, the tasks of these two squadrons must be adjusted.

According to Ron's idea, one of the two squadrons should be responsible for the training of high-altitude escort, and the other should be responsible for the training of safari and ground attack. It's just that it has not yet been determined who will be assigned to be in charge of safari and ground attack. Ron felt that he should consult with his pilots on this issue.

"Well, let's do a survey and see if the pilots themselves wish." At the meeting, McGay said to Ron.

"It's not very useful, believe it or not, the vast majority of pilots will choose safari and ground missions." "Personally, I'm tired of playing high-altitude escorts. I believe that most pilots think similarly to me. For example, if you had to choose, what would you rather do? ”

McGayah pursed his lips and did not answer.

"Otherwise, it will be divided according to the individual technical characteristics of the pilot. For example, pilots from the Pacific theater are better suited to low-altitude missions. Because we operate at a lower altitude in peacetime. Bunge said again.

"It's not fair! You were dealing with the Japanese in the Pacific, and now we have to change to the European theater. Of course, what we came from on the European battlefield should be the first choice. Not to mention ......"

"Or else? We've come in with some pilots from Europe, and I know that there have been a lot of good pilots among them on recent safaris. ”

"But the fighter force has not expanded, and as a result, some of us will have to leave the 'reverse cross'."

"If I can go out like Boyynton, and from time to time I can fly to the battlefield to improve my achievements, I would be willing to leave. Nima's, that old fellow from Pointon recently brushed up eight more planes. McGaa's eyes lit up immediately.

"Dreaming!" Ron said, "Don't think you're going to get to the fighting unit if you get out of me. The chances are so small that they are almost non-existent. There are a lot of other aviation schools in the Army Airlines, and General Arnold said that he plans to build more aviation schools, and he hopes to poach some people from us, which means that if you leave, there is an 80 percent chance that you will go to an aviation school and continue to be an instructor. Of course, most of the official positions and ranks will be promoted. ”

Arnold did have this idea. In his opinion, the instructors of the "Reverse Cross" are not only the best in flying skills, but also the level of the instructors must have risen greatly after they have been in the "Reverse Cross" for so long. If you take them to other flight academies, you can quickly raise the level of all the aviation schools that the Army Airlines belongs to. In Arnold's opinion, the "reverse cross" should be not only a training school for pilots, but also for instructors.

"And what's the other twenty percent?"

"Go to a research institute, work as a test pilot, or work as a tactical consultant or something. However, if you take this path, you may not be able to get a chance to be promoted. Ron replied.

"I don't even have a 1 percent chance of being a captain and squadron leader in a combat unit?" McGaia asked.

"Nope!" Ron replied with a very crisp answer.

"If anyone is interested in these two destinations, they can write me a report. Of course, I do not guarantee that your request will be granted. ”

……

The program of "reverse cross" reform set off a wave in the ranks. In your spare time, you can see pilots in many places getting together in twos and threes to discuss the matter.

"It's not bad to go to other aviation schools, but the promotion of military ranks is a really good thing."

"A promotion to the military is of course a good thing, but if I want to say, it is more exciting to be a test pilot. All the latest, most advanced aircraft in the United States are the first to fly you. No one is the one who flies you. Moreover, although test pilots will not be promoted to the military rank as soon as they go, the chances of promotion in the future are not necessarily smaller than in other aviation schools. And test pilots earn a lot. ”

"But ......"

……

In one of the offices of the Strategic Intelligence Agency, a group of people were discussing. A thin old man asked:

"Nadya has been in contact with General Ron for days in a row. Has there been any progress on her investigation? ”

"We are not in a position to conduct a full investigation of her activities in the Soviet Union. But our people have collected some posters of her ballet company, and her name first appeared on a poster two years ago, according to the information on the customs clearance materials, she is 19 years old, that is, she entered the ballet company at the age of 17. It was a suitable age, but that poster didn't have a picture of her. You know that even now, she is not the pillar of this dance company. On a poster earlier this year, there was a photo of her, but the size of the photo was small, and although her figure matched the current one, her facial features were not clear, so we can't tell if she is the real Nadya. A fat man with glasses replied.

"So, what do our artists think of her technique?"

"We've recorded some of the company's performances in the United States. Our artists have done a technical analysis of the performances of the performers of this troupe. Of course, the heroine Ulanova needless to say, the level of other actors is also above the level. As for Nadya, except for a little mistake in a certain performance, in general, the level is quite good. In addition, Ulanova's influence can be clearly seen in her performances. Experts believe that even if the talent is good, it is unlikely to reach such a level in the short term. To achieve such a level, it takes at least 3-5 years of professional training for 6 hours a day. ”

"And what about her habits?"

"Before she met General Ron, she basically never left the dance company except for group activities. And these days, she has been back in the dance company before 9:30 p.m. And even when she's on a date, she barely eats and never drinks sweetened drinks. This is also a characteristic of ballerinas, they must ensure that they do not exceed the weight limit, otherwise they will tire the male dancer to death. ”

"In this way, it seems unlikely that Nadya is a professional spy. But we can't rule out the possibility that she was a temporary spy. "So, the surveillance of her cannot be relaxed." ”

The so-called temporary spies refer to people who are not professionally trained but take on espionage missions. In fact, a lot of the time, spies aren't necessarily the trained masters of the film.

……

"Uncle, aunt...... Ah, no, my sister is so beautiful. Won't you buy her a flower? Ron and Nadya were walking down a tree-lit boulevard when a teenage girl suddenly appeared in front of them with a bouquet of flowers.

"Okay, give me one, shall you?" Ron said as he picked a pink rose from the little girl's hand. Hand it to Nadya.

"Flowers with beauty! Alas, in the blink of an eye, it was nine o'clock again. Ron looked at his watch and said, "You have to go back again." I really don't understand how you are a ballet company that is more strictly managed than the army. ”

"There's no way, a ballet dancer, if she doesn't manage herself strictly, then her artistic life will be very short. And you know, people like us, we all started training in ballet from a young age. I've been dancing since I was nine years old, and for so many years, I didn't know what else I could do but dance. Nadya furrowed her little eyebrows and said, "Teacher Ulanova said that most girls are very young when they embark on this path, and they generally don't have very good self-control. If they must follow the path of ballet, then for the sake of their future, the ballet company must set extremely strict rules. I think Ms. Ulanova is right. You know, I like ice cream the most, and if it weren't for the rules, I'd have become a little fat guy. Speaking of which, Nadya may have thought of how she had become a little fat man, and she couldn't help but laugh.

"It's not easy!" Ron lamented, "You ballet dancers don't live a human life. 6-8 hours of training a day is harder than our training. Oh, by the way, how can you get up and spin on your tiptoes. I tried nothing, I couldn't stand, and I almost broke my foot. ”

"You, you're on tiptoe?" Nadya smiled and bent down, "Actors don't need to stand on tiptoe, they are all half-toe!" You're tiptoeing! Well, maybe I should recommend you to Ulanova-sensei, Ron, you're going to be the tallest white swan in the world! ”
