Although Lin* did not move to the Taiwan Strait with the large army and failed to experience the return of the treasure island of Taiwan to the mainland, he was still an undisputed hero of air combat. Although he lost his fighters twice, he shot down 51 enemy planes, an incredible record, making him the trump card among aces...... In all kinds of effective statistics, the Second Naval Aviation Division has an absolute advantage, especially the two flight regiments, in which six pilots shot down more than 30 enemy planes, of which the third flight regiment accounted for three, and the other flight regiment also had two; Of the pilots who shot down more than 20 enemy planes in the whole army, the third flying regiment accounted for 6 out of 23 people, and the other flying regiment also reached 6; In addition to Lin *, there are also Meng Haibo and Li Xuetong, who were originally lieutenant colonels and deputy commanders of the Second Flying Regiment, and ranked second in the battle list with an excellent record of 36 fighters, in front of Fang Wei. The outstanding performance on the battlefield brought supreme honor to the pilots, and the commendation orders of the Military Commission were one after another, and among all the 23 big pilots, Lin * was the only one seriously injured, and only three failed to participate in the final battle, and of course, only these three super-ace pilots did not follow the large force to "move" the Taiwan Strait.

Although he did not participate in the last few air operations, everyone recognized him as the undisputed and best pilot, not only because he had the highest record in the whole army, with a record of 51 enemy aircraft, which was unthinkable for many, but also because there was no one who could expand the results of the battle under the siege of three enemy aircraft (American fighters in active service), and few people could confront four enemy aircraft at the same time, and in this respect he was the undisputed king. Some people even said that if he had not been shot down in the air battle on the 26th, the Chinese side would have very likely won the air battle and would not have ended up winning the air battle, and even thought that if he had him, the Chinese side would have been able to win the air battle on the 28th. So, even from the hospital bed, Lin* received various commendations, and on May 30, the Central Military Commission announced the list of three senior officers who had been promoted to colonel, one of whom was Lin*, who was just one step away from the general; On June 22, the Central Military Commission announced a list of air combat heroes, and he was at the top of the list. Of course, it is not only these pilots who have been promoted to military ranks, Senior Colonel Yang Minghua, commander of the Second Division of the Hainan Airlines, has been promoted to major general, political commissar Mei Wenjie has also been promoted to major general, and some other senior commanders have also been promoted to major general...... Commanders at all levels of the entire units participating in the war, from the Air Force to the Navy, to the corresponding departments of the Army, countless personnel are numerous, the morale of the army is high, and the combatants at all levels are unanimously eager to "do it again"!

The bloodless capture of Taiwan by the Central Government of the Communist Party of China is considered one of the greatest gains of the Chinese in the Southeast Asian war, and on June 27, Taiwan was returned to the mainland, and since then "there has been no war in the Far East," said World Commentary. After the signing of the "Sino-US Armistice Agreement" on 14 June, all units began to prepare for the relocation work, and almost all of the main forces were transferred to the frontline airfield in Fujian, and the main force of the South China Sea Fleet, which had been in serious confrontation with the US aircraft carrier formation for several months, was accompanied by the main force of the South China Sea Fleet, which had been in serious confrontation with the US aircraft carrier formation for several months. The huge front-line troops on the mainland turned their spearheads and pointed directly at the land of bullets, which made Taiwan's political and military leaders extremely nervous, and the mainland military was already red-eyed, and even the United States could hardly check and balance, so how could they be able to resist it! Taiwan's military strength is not weak, at least stronger than any country in Southeast Asia, but it lacks depth, it is difficult to resist the military pressure of the mainland, and it has completely relied on foreign aid for many years, especially Japan and the United States, but now that Southeast Asia is defeated and the United States has retreated, Japan has long been unwilling to send troops, what else can they rely on; Although it is said that the mainland is tired from a long war, its momentum is like a rainbow, and the air force, in particular, seems to have been called "the world's first air force", and there is no room for choice at all! Under the condition that the mainland has the upper hand over the mainland and that foreign aid is completely cut off, even the Taiwan authorities, which are in power by the M Progressive Party, have no choice but to "lose their sincerity."

On June 27, the Taiwan Special Administrative Province was established, and the social system remained unchanged, but the army was completely placed under the jurisdiction of the central government, a large number of soldiers were retired, a large number of troops were either reorganized or completely abolished, and the navy, land and air force ceased to exist. At the same time, according to the agreement, diplomacy was also completely controlled by the central government...... Since then, the Chinese people have fulfilled the historic task of reunifying the motherland! Almost at the same time as the end of the war in Southeast Asia, a new round of border negotiations between China and India began...... The world is exclaiming, the giants of the Far East are beginning to stand up in full force!

The Air Force Headquarters was also vigorously praised by the Central Military Commission for the outstanding performance of the troops participating in the war, and the status of Huang Hongzhi and others rose sharply, and they made many promises to several beloved aviation divisions one after another! And what has been harvested is not only these high-level figures, some regiment-level commanders have already been on an equal footing with division-level commanders, and even some ordinary pilots can be on an equal footing with division-level commanders, but some people in the Military Commission are having a headache about how to place these middle-level officers! Indeed, the two flying regiments of the Second Flying Regiment of the Second Flying Regiment of the Navy were troublesome, because there were too many middle and senior officers in these two regiments, and the Third Flying Regiment had 16 pilots, including 2 colonels, 5 colonels, and 3 lieutenant colonels; Among the 15 pilots of the 2nd Flying Regiment, there is also a colonel, 4 colonels, and as many as 4 lieutenant colonels, that is to say, in these two regiments alone, there are 19 officers above the rank of lieutenant colonel and 12 officers above the rank of colonel. The regimental commanders are all colonels or lieutenant colonels, but they ...... So it has to be diverted, otherwise there will be problems, especially 3 colonels and 9 colonels...... As for letting these people immediately take up "suitable" leadership positions, it is not possible, their management skills are not necessarily reassuring, then there is only one place to send, the "military academy", this is almost the unanimous opinion of the senior leaders, so by the beginning of the new school year, there will be a large number of high-ranking young people come to the military academy to learn military management and tactical literacy...... It has become a rare collective training event for senior officers since the founding of the People's Republic of China. After two or three months of treatment, Lin was one of them, and after two or three months of treatment, he had basically recovered, better than expected, and by August, according to the experts, "there was no problem at all". However, Li was still not at ease, and let the young man recuperate for more than a month in a very famous sanatorium in northern China, until the army informed the colonel that he should go to school, and he ended his months-long vacation and returned to the familiar barracks. Seeing the comrades-in-arms who used to get along day and night again, these are now future military colleagues at the rank of lieutenant colonel and above, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion! In the entire officer training school, their group is undoubtedly the most striking, there are too many young people, too high ranks, a large number of colonels, and so handsome......

In addition to studying in military academies, they also have another activity, either to go to some units or cities to do propaganda and make deeds reports, or to be an example for the masses to learn from, and to win social influence for the military...... To tell the truth, Lin* was not accustomed to this kind of life, which was somewhat in conflict with his ideals, and contrary to his ideological style, and the military study alone made him a little reluctant, just because there was no other choice, and as senior officers, they had to have considerable management skills. In the military academy, the situation is also different from before, in the past, everyone was comrades-in-arms at the same level, they were all low-level officers, they were slight-talked, and they were free, but now they are all "big people", and the future commanders of the troops...... And as identity changes, interpersonal relationships become more complex. Not only is he the only one who has such feelings, many people have similar feelings, but he is even more unaccustomed to it, and letting his fate be in the hands of others has always been a taboo for the Li family! And if you don't like it, don't do it, which is the distinctive characteristic of the Li family! As time went on, his mood became worse and worse, and a faint sorrow appeared on the face from time to time, and a determination seemed to be developing......

"*, are you in a bad mood?" Lin *'s abnormality, Meng Haibo quickly noticed, this subordinate who used to be very admired, and now a student of the same rank, has always been the focus of his concern, and others will envy his "young and promising", incredible "young colonel...... And he is more concerned about the young man's thoughts, in his opinion, the young man is still too young, his thinking is a little weird, and the habit of caring that he has developed for a long time makes him involuntarily care about him and take care of him.

"Captain, I'm a little depressed." Lin * still calls each other the head of the regiment, and after many years of title, it is impossible to change it, even if the military ranks of the two people are the same now; In the same way, in front of the regiment commander, he also felt safe and could say anything.

"What's the matter, I'm not used to life, it's still ......" Meng Haibo was also a little puzzled, it should be said that he came out of the Li family, and he had a strong ability to adapt, not to mention that the young man had been living alone for many years, and it seemed that such a problem should not occur.

"It's okay, but ......" Lin * knew that the head of the regiment had misunderstood, he was a little embarrassed, hesitated for a while, and still said, "I want to retire." ”

"What?" Meng Haibo couldn't believe his ears at all, this is absolutely unimaginable, he never thought that the young man would want to retire, so young, such a huge military exploit, it is absolutely not too much to describe it as "promising", the youngest colonel officer in military history, it is very likely to become the youngest general of the republic, how can he want to retire when he is one step away from the general? You know, how many soldiers dream of becoming a general, and there is a big difference in rank between a general-level officer and a colonel-level officer, how can he have such an idea? For a while, he was not only surprised, but also surprised, he couldn't say anything, and after a long time, the colonel who came slowly asked, "How can you think like this, is it not going well in school, or is it a problem at home?" ”

"The family doesn't interfere in our personal problems, it's me who personally don't want to serve." Lin* whispered.

"Why, isn't it good in the army?" Meng Haibo knows that young people are very assertive, but he loves the military camp all his life, and he can't bear to see the young man leave the barracks, in his opinion, something must have happened, and what kind of thing makes him have to leave the barracks?

"My dad is retired, the economic crisis has made him prosperous, and Indian investment has propelled him to the top of his fame, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has no regrets in his life." Lin * did not explain, but when he talked about his father, Li Mengze can be regarded as a rapid retreat, which is the unanimous opinion of people at this stage, "Li asks to keep a low profile, 'too much', I also have to take this road." I'm so young, I'm already a colonel, and I'm definitely going to be promoted in the future, isn't that going to block the way of many people? People like me are not fit to remain in the army! ”

"How can you have such an idea, no one wants you to retire." Meng Haibo advised, the young man's words also knocked on his heart, a kind of nihilistic consciousness rose, although he never regarded him as a "threat", but he had to admit that the young man's worries were reasonable, but this should not be a reason to leave the barracks, how could he just leave, no, he must be stopped!

"If you can retreat, you can enter, this is the basic requirement of the family for us, we must give up when we should give up, my father often said to us, just have a clear conscience. The army has been cultivated for so many years, and I have done my best, and it is not a loss to the country! "Lin * is more open-minded, he understands that everyone doesn't want him to leave the army, but he has to leave, the situation does not allow him to continue to stay!" Don't worry, I don't want to live in the barracks anymore, there are too many constraints in the army, and I'm not very suitable; In the past, I was just a small soldier, and everyone didn't say anything, but in the future, it will be different, and you can't take the lead in violating discipline! ”

……

Meng Haibo finally failed to convince this stubborn comrade-in-arms, could not change the young man's stubborn opinion, and was unable to redeem the heart of this genius soldier who was determined to leave, he understood that no one could save the other party's heart, just like a sharp attack in an air battle, no one was helpless! Needless to say, Lin * decided to leave the barracks, he quickly submitted an application to the school to withdraw from school, and before the school came to his senses, he submitted an application for retirement to the headquarters of the Second Division of the HNA Division, and in just a few hours, he submitted his "latest requirements" to the responsible departments at all levels one by one! And this immediately aroused the great attention of the relevant departments, Lin * He Xu Renye, the young son of the Li family, the undisputed hero of air combat in the Southeast Asian War, in the words of some people in the world, he alone can be "worth an aviation division...... And it is such a soldier who suddenly asks to leave the barracks, can this not shock the relevant parties? The two related reports were reported to the Air Force Headquarters almost at the same time, and the generals who have been entangled in affairs all the time looked at the two reports very reluctantly, this is "really a troublesome person", it is really going to cause trouble, a few months ago they were given a problem, and now, there is another one! There was nothing troublesome about Lin*'s application for retirement, like all military retirements, except that he was on the cusp; Since joining the army in 36, it has been four years, four years, it should be said that you can retire, although the service period of the Air Force is longer, especially the pilots are longer, if it is an ordinary pilot, they can easily refuse, because according to military regulations, he still has to serve for a period of time, but this person is different, he is not only an air combat hero, with incomparable combat exploits, but also a young son of a Fengyun family, especially his incredible father! Lin* himself is also a trouble, he is too young, his merits are too high, and his future is too limitless; Perhaps, retirement will be the best choice, but what about the social impact, you must know that he is the undisputed "first pilot", who can easily estimate the impact of this matter?

"Are you really going to retire? You don't want to be a soldier anymore? Liu Yingchen stared at the other party's eyes tightly, trying to find a trace of hesitation in his eyes, but he couldn't see anything! As soon as she heard the news that her boyfriend was going to retire, she immediately rushed to the military school desperately, she didn't understand why he did this, it was "unthinkable", because in her opinion, her boyfriend was born a soldier, an excellent pilot, and had a great future, becoming a general was an easy thing for him, why give up, "It was your father who made you retire, how could he let you do this?" ”

"It has nothing to do with my dad, it's me who wants to retire." There was a hint of displeasure in Lin*'s eyes, and his girlfriend's somewhat arbitrary judgment made him naturally resist, but he also understood that he must have hurt the other party, and it was his fault first.

"That's why, is it the rapids retreating, or is it ......" Liu Yingchen asked, if it wasn't his father's idea, then how could he have this idea, the rapids retreated, but is this useful, he is very eye-catching, but it is not the problem, someone has to be more prominent! Of course, she also knows that her boyfriend is too good and may have attracted jealousy, but is he such a timid person, and the Li family doesn't seem to be such a person!

"Short-lived, Lee's fate." Lin*'s tone was very calm, he had already decided to retire, although it seemed unfair, but he didn't think it was unreasonable, but as long as it was reasonable, the Li family didn't ask for fairness, only whether it was reasonable, this was the basis for the existence of the whole family!

"Are you a timid person, how can you be so pessimistic?" Liu Yingchen is a little unrelenting, in her opinion, her boyfriend should not have this idea of retreating, he should be a person who is not afraid of difficulties, brave and fearless, should not be a person who cares about the world very much, since God has given him a chance, he should not hesitate to grasp it!

"You don't understand, I'm sorry. I beg your pardon! Lin*'s tone turned to a low one, he understood his girlfriend's thoughts, but this should not have appeared, she should have ......

"But have you thought about me, I don't understand, but have you thought about my feelings?" Liu Yingchen suddenly became indignant, he was vainly in love with him, he made such an important decision, but he didn't even say a word in advance, let alone discuss, he still didn't care about himself, did he still love himself?

"I know you won't agree, so I don't dare say it to you. I beg your pardon! Lin * said apologetically, all of which made him feel the most embarrassed was Liu Yingchen, the two received different education from childhood to adulthood, and the living environment was also different, she couldn't agree with this approach, but she had to retire!

"Then let's make a fait accompli, don't you take my feelings into account at all?" Liu Yingchen felt very sad, knowing that he would not agree, he insisted on retiring, which was so disappointing!

"I love you, but I know you won't agree with my approach, we have received different education and different understandings since we were young." Lin*'s voice was still low, it seemed a little helpless, and he seemed a little persistent, "Can you forgive me, I really need to retire!" ”

"Can I forgive you?" Liu Yingchen subconsciously repeated, she didn't know how to face all this, when she heard the news, she was just shocked, she just wanted to verify, she just wanted to stop the other party's madness...... I've never thought about what I should do if I can't stop it, "Do you really love me, do you still care about me?" ”

"Of course I love you, of course I care about you, but ......" Lin * wanted to say and stopped, but what it was, he didn't know, perhaps, in his opinion, Liu Yingchen was very important, but what was more important was the family, the entire Li family!

"But what?" Liu Yingchen was unwilling, and tried his best to explore the other party's thoughts, although he didn't know if he could save this heart that was about to die!

"I'm going to retire, will you still love me? Can you accept it? "Lin * hesitated a little, vaguely felt that there was a deep trench between the two people, if the other party could not accept this change, the family would definitely not be able to accept her, although they also liked her!" Mom and Dad love you! ”

"However, my dad won't agree, you don't know, how much he values you, he won't agree to your retirement! Our family is a military family! Liu Yingchen said a little nervously, she knew her father very well, he categorically did not allow her husband to be a timid person, and he would definitely not agree with his approach, "You don't want to retire, even if it's for me, okay?" ”

"I knew, I should have known!" Lin * is a little sad, this deep chasm may have become an insurmountable chasm, they come from two families with completely different ideas, he may be excellent, she may be prominent, but the imprint of the family separates them. * will not admit a son-in-law like him, and his own family will not accept a person like *, and the most important thing is that both of them are deeply influenced by the family and cannot get rid of the imprint of the family at all. He loved this woman, but he couldn't give up his faith for her, let alone turn his back on the whole family for her, and put the whole family in danger. Perhaps, this is all fate!
