Chapter 285: Arrival (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
At the same time that their ground troops arrived in Manchuria, the air units participating in the exercise also took off on the same day. Relative to the transfer distance of the ground forces, although the distance of the air forces is very short, they face no less tests than the ground forces.
Unlike the ground forces, the air detachment departed from Xinjiang Province. It takes off from Altay Airport in Xinjiang Province and goes to Barnaul Airport in the northern ice and snow country.
In this process, the air detachment has to face a variety of common problems in the air, such as large fleet maneuvers, cross-border flights, complex terrain, and changeable weather.
This air transfer is also a practical training and test for the Chinese army air force, and it is also a manifestation of the determination of the Chinese military personnel in maintaining regional peace and stability.
At 17:38 on the 3rd, Yanjing time, as a Boeing-737 aircraft landed smoothly at the Shagor Airport in the neighboring Chelyabinsk Oblast, the Chinese troops participating in the "Peace Operation-2007" joint anti-terrorism military exercise were assembled in the exercise area.
Chief Xu, the chief director of the Chinese side of the exercise, who arrived in Russia with the last sortie, announced at the airport that all the Chinese troops participating in the exercise had arrived at the exercise area safely, smoothly, and on time. So far, the Chinese armed forces have successfully completed the first large-scale, organized, multi-service, long-distance transnational strategic projection in history.
The two routes of ground and air force projection form an elliptical shape on the map. This oval-shaped road map has set a new record in the history of the mobility of the Chinese troops.
Ji Yan, as a Chinese media and a reporter for the Chinese side of the multinational military exercise, followed the ground troops to the exercise site.
As soon as he arrived, he was blown away by the sight. As a military reporter, he was once assigned to the front-line battlefield to conduct interviews, and he also accompanied the team to conduct interviews during military exercises in the Huaguo Military Region.
However, such a sight has never been seen. He also heard from his colleagues that this superpower, which used to be a pole in the world, once stood at the forefront of the world in political, economic, military, and other aspects.
In their minds, at least there must be the state of the Huaguo tactical training ground. But when he arrived here, he found that the original great power had slowly been caught up by his own country and surpassed it.
As a military reporter, his team of reporters was arranged in a military camp here, and he was sensitive to the fact that the living conditions of his soldiers were still different from those of his own country.
The soldiers here are indeed burly, but Ji Yan found that although the soldiers' dormitory here is a four-person room, the soldiers' beds are no more than 1.8 meters long and half a meter wide. Compared to him, who is not burly, he can indeed sleep, but for the soldiers here, Ji Yan is estimated to be not enough to sleep.
"Ji Yan, this time your newspaper will send your team over? This is an international exercise, and I've heard that there are big people coming, can you arrange for it to come? A reporter from another newspaper who is also in the press corps asked.
"Heh, you're very well informed. I also know that there are big people present, who do you say will come? Ji Yan didn't answer his question, and wanted to trap the other party's words.
"Hahaha, Lao Ji, you are still so treacherous. I'm also guessing, besides, how can I know the whereabouts of the big leader, you haven't said it yet, your newspaper doesn't pay much attention to this exercise? The reporter didn't say anything about his sources at all, after all, they were also responsible for the newspaper, and the big news also needed to be covered.
"Hey, it's still a secret from me, it's not authentic, Lao Zong. Isn't this catching up, isn't there also activities in China, the anniversary celebration of the founding of the army and the activities on the other side of Xiangjiang, not to mention that your newspaper did not send people over. Ji Yan didn't want to fight with the other party, so he replied directly.
"Hey, hey, it's all the same. In this way, we can get a big news from this exercise, and let me tell you, the news is getting harder and harder to find now. Some are too sensitive for us to post, and some have basically no repercussions. Alas, it's too hard to do right now. He sighed.
Hearing the sighs of his peers, Ji Yan also felt the same way. As journalists, especially military correspondents, they don't just report whatever they want. This is not the case with one country, and the media around the world do not want to report to the situation.
It's like the lighthouse country says freedom or something, whoever believes in it is a big fool.
Thinking of this, Ji Yan suddenly remembered that he was on the way to take the transfer train. In the car, I met a lieutenant colonel who looked like a graduate student who had just left school. However, after understanding, it was found that he was the commander of the ground forces in this exercise.
This encounter shocked Ji Yan, as a veteran military reporter. In his impression, it is not unheard of a young military cadre in China who is as young as him. But like the one he saw, there really weren't many people who were young and still holding regular positions in the field army.
After communicating with the young lieutenant colonel, he found that this time the news headline was there. The young generation of Chinese people appeared in the international exercise ground, and the Chinese military generation has talented people.
Gao Cheng didn't know that the encounter on the train made him the protagonist of Ji Yan's report. Even if he knew that there was nothing he could do, the reporter was ordered to interview, who let him meet the big reporter.
"It seems that I have to find an opportunity to talk to Battalion Commander Gao alone, his understanding of the development of the army is different from that of any one I have interviewed. Maybe a series of programs could be done specifically to give a voice to young officers across the army. Ji Yan thought to himself.
"Get up, Lao Ji, I heard that the place where we live now is the dormitory of the army. Let's go out and see, if there is any material to collect, just that bit of material for the exercise is not enough for a report, we have to stay here for half a month. The reporter from the other newspaper said.
"Here we are." Ji Yan got up and replied. Indeed, from the time I came here to the time I left, I had to stay for half a month, and although the newspaper did not specifically ask for a few reports, we couldn't just wait for the day of the exercise.
After the two came out, they found that there were many reporters who thought the same way as them. All of them are looking for "materials" outside, and if they know something, they can say hello, and if they don't know each other, they can quickly become friends abroad.
"Alas, isn't that the old Hu of the Military Channel. Seeing that they have all the equipment on them, is there something going on? "As a journalist, you have to have sharp eyes. Otherwise, the news is happening around you, and you can't catch up with the heat.
"Let's go, let's see." Ji Yan was told by him, and he also noticed the difference there, and hurriedly urged him to go together. Since they didn't have the equipment and only had a camera in their hands, they were not slow, and they quickly caught up with the old Hu of the military channel they said.
"Alas, I said Lao Hu, you are not authentic. What's the news here, you can't eat alone. We are all brothers, share and share. "As a journalist, if you don't argue, you won't be able to eat hot either.
"Hey, let go, don't hold me. There's no big news, it's just that there is a friendly match, don't we think it's not big news, let's shoot a material. The old Hu who was pulled said.
As journalists, everyone usually communicates with each other, although there is competition, but it is also benign. They are not like unscrupulous editors, who dare to write and edit anything for the sake of click-through rates.
"Oh, friendlies?" Hearing Lao Hu's answer, Ji Yan's eyes lit up at the same time.
If you want to say that friendly matches are within the Chinese army, they must be seen often. However, this international military exercise is different from that in their own country, both in terms of discipline and image requirements, the participating troops pay great attention to their own behavior.
"What's the matter, Lao Hu, which army initiated it?" At this time, Tianxing, as a reporter, came out, although they are not entertainment reporters, but they also want to know about the news that can cause discussion.
"Hey, you two don't look like that. It's not what you think, it's a literal friendly match. There was no bloody plot, and the heads of both sides nodded in agreement. Lao Hu didn't hide it at this time, even if he didn't say this kind of thing, he could inquire about it casually when he got there.
"Oh, friendlies." The enthusiasm of the two quickly dropped, and there was no heat without dog blood, and of course it wouldn't make them too excited.
However, then they raised their interest again. This is a transnational competition, although the Chinese army has also appeared in the international scout competition, and has achieved good results, but it is not that they have not seen it, this time maybe they can also see the ability of the two armies.
By the time they arrived at the venue, it was already full of soldiers. After all, there are thousands of troops from various countries here, and although this area is large enough, if these people are gathered together, it will look like a sea of people.
"Lao Hu, is this what you call a friendly match?" Seeing this situation, Ji Yan and the others helplessly found that they didn't seem to be able to squeeze in. Their physique is comparable to that of this group of GIs, like that of children and men.
"Hey, if you hadn't stopped me, I'd have been here a long time ago. There is no recruitment, let's go to our troops for convenience, we should be able to go to the front to shoot something. Lao Hu complained, but also came up with a solution.
A few people quickly found their own troops, and after explaining the reason, they were really let go of the way to watch.
There were already soldiers on the playground, including Hua Guo, warming up, and Ji Yan saw the lieutenant colonel he met on the train at a glance.
I saw that the lieutenant colonel was in command, and he was not worried at all. Looking at him, he doesn't seem to be afraid of this friendly match at all, and being confident is Gao Cheng's mood now.
