Recruitment and recruitment are much the same, and the process is basically the same, but because of the particularity of the pilot profession, there are high requirements for the IQ level and physical fitness of students, especially when the army begins to accelerate into the era of third-generation aircraft.

If the process is different, the recruitment is usually carried out on the eve of the college entrance examination, because pilots must be trained by colleges and universities, and they are cadres after graduation, which is completely different from most high school graduates, college students, and school-age young people who directly enlist in the military service.

The difference at the moment is that this year's national recruitment work has ended, and the selected high school graduates have entered aviation colleges or local government training colleges and universities to start the first semester of study.

Li Zhan's task was to select the little flying sharks from these people and throw them into the flying shark preparatory class. It was only through the opening of the air force and the joint efforts of the military and local ministries and commissions that this matter was very troublesome and difficult from the point of view of the formalities, but it was still fully promoted.

After accepting the task, Li Zhan put forward a new request: he hoped to expand the scope to other local colleges and universities, that is, to expand to this year's freshmen who exceeded the score line but were not admitted to military academies and were not recruited.

His reasoning is simple – a larger base helps improve quality.

This is a pie in the sky for this year's freshmen, and it is an honor for local colleges and universities, so naturally there will be no resistance. This year, the winter conscription is still in place, and half of it starts in September and lasts from December, so the freshmen will actually encounter the whole army conscription soon after they enter the school, so the process is simpler.

The assistant to Li Zhan was Cheng Da, who had rich experience in recruiting and recruiting. Cheng Da, who had been the head of the regiment, was responsible for recruiting and recruiting soldiers for several years, and it was obviously very suitable for Li Zhan to be an assistant. Li Zhan knows what kind of pilot the Flying Shark Force wants, and Cheng Da knows what kind of person can be a pilot, and the combination of the two swords is perfect.

The superiors gave Li Zhan a lot of autonomy, and he could let go of his hands and feet to carry out the recruitment work. Nationwide, except for Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, he can go.

In this process, the powerful female pilots greeted him in various ways and forms, but he simply and decisively put them aside and made up their minds to become a legend in the hearts of the female pilots.

Li Zhan's first stop was in Beichun City, which was an expected and reasonable decision.

Beichun City is 500 kilometers away from Mutu Island in a straight line, with a high-speed journey of six hours and a high-speed rail of three hours. Considering that he had to run around, it would be very troublesome if he didn't bring a car, and Li Zhan had a lot of opinions about the low efficiency of the local work, so he decided to take the road mobility to go.

Pei Lei was ordered, overhauled the Land Cruiser commuter car he drove a few days in advance, made all preparations, and then drove off with Li Zhan and Chengda. The Land Cruiser is actually very durable, and the most common problem encountered by many people after driving for more than ten or twenty years is probably changing tires and touching up paint. In addition, the Beichun area is the base camp of the crazy field, and the domestically produced Land Cruiser is produced here, and there are many such models in the local area.

There are a lot of Japanese and Korean cars in the entire Tohoku region, especially Madda.

Pei Lei is very excited to be able to go on a business trip with the chief instructor, as a driver, non-commissioned officer staff officer and squad leader of a small team, he has subsidies for business trips, including food subsidies, communication subsidies, travel expenses, etc., and he has three post allowances, and he gets a lot of money every day. In this way, he can send more money to his family, do a good job of his younger brother's tuition and something, and then save money to buy a house for his parents to support the elderly, and he can work in the army with peace of mind in his life.

However, Pei Lei didn't know that this business trip was a very high test for him, and it would be tested in all aspects.

On the highway to Beichun, Pei Lei joked, "Mr. Li, do you think I can still participate in next year's recruitment?" I plan to continue taking the military exam next year. ”

Li Zhan said, "There is no chance, you are already in your fifth year this year." ”

If you have served for more than three years, you can no longer take the entrance examination, and there is only one way to become an officer: to be promoted.

"yes, I forgot." Pei Lei was stunned for a moment and patted his forehead.

Li Zhan said with a smile, "If you really don't want to give up the opportunity to fly a plane, you usually train with the pilot, this is no problem." When your conditions really attract attention, it is not impossible to open up a channel for you alone. ”

"It's too hard." Pei Lei smiled awkwardly.

Cheng Da said, "I'm only afraid of people with hearts." Do you know what my old division commander did before he flew the plane? Lao Li, I don't think you can guess either. ”

"Maintenance?" Li Zhan gave an answer, Zhang Sihai, the teacher of the Second Division whom he respected very much, was engaged in aircraft maintenance, and later became a pilot through recruitment.

"No, guess." Cheng Da shook his head and said, which made Li Zhan interested.

Li Zhan thought for a moment and said, "Ground crew? ”

"It's not."

Pei Lei said, "Is it a civilian job in meteorology?" ”

"Not really."

"I can't guess that." Li Zhan said.

Cheng Da laughed, and then said mysteriously as if he was saying something earth-shattering, "He is from the army artillery unit, and he used to be a gunner." When the whole army recruited to fly, he became a pilot. ”

"What?" Li Zhan was taken aback.

He has seen the commander of the Big Red Eagle Division, that guy used to be Lao Lu, and he was also an artilleryman? This has something to do with pilots! Li Zhan knew the commander of the Great Red Eagle Division, and he was the best driver of the J-10 among division-level cadres, and he took many of the combat subjects of the J-10 with him, and he himself was almost equal to the J-10 fighter expert. The Great Red Eagle Division has rapidly grown from a first-class second-class unit to an ace unit, which has a lot to do with him.

That guy turned out to be a ** soldier in the army!

Cheng Da was very satisfied with Li Zhan and Pei Lei's reaction, and he said proudly, "Cow, right? A typical example of self-taught, it is said that in order not to miss his good seedlings, the Air Force carried out a special recruitment. Our division commander's education is junior high school, and only later did he successively take correspondence college bachelor's degrees, and his theoretical level may not be eye-catching, but the practical experience in the air force system is only a handful. ”

"This is a man of God." Li Zhan sincerely admired, how could he say that he also graduated from Huaqing University with a bachelor's degree in ideology and politics, what about people, junior high school students, are you convinced?

Cheng Da, who was sitting in the second row, patted Pei Lei on the shoulder and said, "So as long as you have enough ability, your ideal will definitely be realized." The environment of the troops is definitely fairer than the local environment, boy, come on. ”

"It's too hard." Pei Lei smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Talking all the way, he went into the service area to stop and rest once every two hours, and at about three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Zhan and his party stayed in a hotel belonging to the Air Aviation University. The hotel is located on the side of the road in the old town, which is a very busy area, and it took more than ten minutes to walk the last two kilometers alone.

The Air Aviation University had already received a notice from its superiors, and sent a regimental-level staff officer in charge of the work of the cadets to come over early to wait, and arranged Li Zhan and the others properly, and the dinner was directly held in the restaurant in the hotel, a standard working meal. Also attending the reception was a leader of the garrison. Then the leaders of the armed forces department bought a few more dishes and a few bottles of good wine out of their own pockets, and had to persuade them to drink, but later saw that Li Zhan and others were very resolute before giving up.

The reason why the leaders of the garrison area appeared was that Li Zhan also planned to look for local colleges and universities in the Beichun area, and first feel the situation according to the method of pre-enlistment, to see if there were any qualified college students in the school, and this work must be carried out with the cooperation of the garrison area. The final work needs to be done by the grassroots people's armed forces department, and the higher-level leading organ of the people's armed forces department is the garrison area.

Li Zhan has some understanding of local work methods but is not familiar with them, and in his eyes, the local color of the garrison area is very strong. At all levels, the provincial military districts, military sub-districts (garrison districts), and the Ministry of People's Armed Forces are the only permanent organs that maintain normal communication and coordination between the military system and the localities.

However, the role played by these three institutions should not be underestimated, not to mention the rest, they need to organize and implement the conscription work every year, and local government departments at all levels cooperate to provide a steady stream of fresh blood for the troops.

At the dinner table, Li Zhan said that he would go to the Air Aviation University tomorrow to have a look, mainly to see, and he would grasp the scale and not be too ruthless, and the main scope would be placed in local universities. This statement relieved the staff officers at the regimental level. He has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, trying to find a way to make the flying shark side pick as few people as possible.

The Air Aviation University is the highest institution of our army's aviation unit and the only comprehensive military aviation university, with 12 campuses distributed in six provinces. Its predecessor was the earliest aviation school of our army, and it was the boss in the aviation department.

Judging from the name, it seems that Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and Air Aviation University are similar, but Air Aviation University is a military academy, in fact, this understanding is completely wrong. Beihang University and China Southern University are local universities that train aerospace research talents, while the main direction of the University of Aviation is to train pilots, taking into account other aspects.

The deputy army-level unit is one level higher than the Flying Shark unit, so it is no wonder that people just sent a regimental-level staff officer to receive it.

That is to say, all the elites of the whole army who are training pilots are concentrated in the air aviation university. It's easy to pick the elite from such a group of cadets, but the Air Force obviously won't allow the Navy to mess around with their core force.

Anyway, I won't give you more, Li Zhan simply stated in advance that he would not ask for more, which will help the following work. Otherwise, the Air Aviation University will stumble you openly and secretly, and you will have no way to do it.

As for the garrison area, Li Zhan can help them solve a few more conscription quotas, which is of course warmly welcomed by them, you must know that they have a mandatory conscription quota every year, and if they can't recruit soldiers required by their superiors, you will be advanced this year, and then you will have to be notified and criticized.

So everyone had a good dinner even though they didn't drink anything.
