The atmosphere in the conference room of the 101st regiment building is very solemn, all of them are old smoking guns, swallowing clouds and spitting fog, and it will soon be the same as a sauna.

Xue Xiangdong got up and walked to the window and opened the window, and a biting cold wind poured in, which quickly lifted everyone's spirits.

The chief of staff, the director of the political department, the deputy head of the combat regiment, the deputy commander of the training regiment, the deputy commander of the aircraft maintenance regiment, the executive deputy regiment commander, in addition to the regimental political commissar who studied abroad, and the main leaders of the 101 flight regiment were all there. Because the discussion was about the internal affairs of the flight group, the stationmaster of the North Reservoir Station did not come.

Beikuchang Station is a regiment-level unit, and the stationmaster level is the same as Xue Xiangdong, and the relationship is not good, and people may not give him face. The stationmaster has more money in his hands than he Xue Xiangdong.

"Regiment commander, since the division commander has agreed to transfer him through the formalities, you can't say anything if you don't fly him, besides, such a master, it is not a long-term solution to just let him be in command." The regimental chief of staff, Ma Feng, broke the silence.

What is being discussed is the arrangement for Comrade Li Zhan.

First of all, division commander Chen Hualin made it clear that he would go through Li Zhan's formalities, as long as Li Zhan personally asked for the 73rd Division to come forward, the Second Division would have no reason not to release people, and you would have already transferred people out, and it was of course unreasonable for you to withhold the personnel procedures. This means that Chen Hualin finally chose the latter between the new equipment and Li Zhan.

Chen Hualin and Fang Chenghe originally had an agreement in private, and this matter was not difficult at all. It's just Fang Chenghe and Qi Hong who are uncomfortable - one accidentally lost a good soldier.

It's not because of how awesome Li Zhan is, but because even if the leaders of the 2nd Division don't help, the 73rd Division can still get second-hand goods, whether it is Type E or Type G, in the final analysis, there is not much difference for the 73rd Division - anyway, they are all more advanced than the existing fighters of the 73rd Division.

What Xue Xiangdong didn't expect was that Comrade Li Zhan's situation was so complicated.

He turned back and sat down, his gaze once again falling on the first-class merit medal and certificate in front of him. This was to be presented to Li Zhan in recognition of his outstanding performance in the flood control of the Three Rivers. It is also Li Zhan's fourth first-class merit. The concept is quite appalling.

Just when he thought he had found a treasure, Comrade Li Zhan's deeds were placed in front of Xue Xiangdong's case, and a few key words made him break out in a cold sweat: In nine months, two fighters were scrapped, one engine was scrapped, and the tail and tail were scrapped once. The types of dangers include lightning strikes, engine compartment fire, landing gear jamming, cockpit power failure, bird collision......

In the past nine months, we have encountered a variety of dangers, and some flight groups have not necessarily encountered such rich dangers in their decades of history, and all of them are special dangers.

"I finally understand why the second division doesn't want him." Xue Xiangdong sighed.

It's a baby, but it's also a big problem.

Xue Xiangdong would rather believe that he has something or not, and Li Zhan, a talent with a special physique, is absolutely unprecedented in military history. What should you do if you really give your flying group to fly into a flying group?

Yang Jinshan, deputy commander of the combat regiment, said, "Not only must we let him fly, but we must also let him prepare for war." He was always on combat readiness duty in the Second Division. If you look at the materials of his deeds, from the point of view of time, the time between the occurrence of a special danger and the return to flight is very short. It shows that the second division is very confident in him. The two divisions are not afraid, what are we afraid of? ”

"Lao Yang, of course the second division is not afraid, what they want, we have to be afraid, the Communist Party is just such a little belongings, what should you do if you toss it out, you can sit on a kite and prepare for war." Deputy Political Commissar Wang Anguo said.

The director of the Political Department said with a smile, "I said what's wrong, they are all fighters with firm beliefs in the party, don't be superstitious about this and that, it's not appropriate." Comrade Li Zhan is just a pilot, a pilot who has made many great achievements, has the ability and courage, and does not put it anywhere on the front line of flight. Regiment commander, I personally think that there is no need to discuss, a comrade like Li Zhan can fully exert his abilities on the front line. ”

Xue Xiangdong glanced at everyone and asked, "So everyone thinks that we should let him fly and let him prepare for war?" ”

"That's how it should be." Everyone nodded.

Xue Xiangdong didn't hesitate, pinched the cigarette butt, and said, "Okay, I'll tell you what I think, is it more appropriate for you to think about it." Needless to say, Li Zhan is definitely capable, but I don't think he is suitable for a go-around right now. I made a request to the division commander to send Comrade Li Zhan to Chang'an for training, which was the training class for young cadres of that military region. The three-month period can not only strengthen the study of political ideology, but also a window for adjusting mentality and emotions. When he comes back, he will give the last deputy captain a lieutenant, and directly promote the main battalion to the major. ”

When the youth cadre class comes back, he will definitely go up to the level, which is a routine, but he has never been raised by two levels at once.

Everyone looked at each other, this treatment was amazing, although the position was a deputy battalion, but the treatment went up. The very high position of flying an airplane is not very useful, and the salary is king. There are a large number of pilots at the regimental and deputy division level in the army, and only a few have actual posts.

However, when he thought of Li Zhan's four first-class merits, no one thought that such treatment was excessive.

"If there is no comment, it will be implemented as such, and I will write an application." Xue Xiangdong said.

Unanimously passed.

The next day, Xue Xiangdong's driver drove Li Zhan to the airport in his car, and Li Zhan took a flight to Chang'an, and after more than three hours of flight, the flight landed in the ancient capital of Chang'an. Li Zhan immediately went through the urban ground public transportation system to a teaching base near Xi'an Jiaotong University. After completing the formalities, it was already close to dinner.

Isn't it just a coincidence, Li Zhan Danfan would not have been able to catch up with this phase of the youth cadre class if he arrived a few days late in the 73rd Division, but he arrived the day before yesterday, and he was forced into the list yesterday.

The young cadres to be promoted by the military region must go through the study of the youth cadre class, which includes all the services and arms units in the area under its jurisdiction, as long as they are units in the military region's combat sequence. Therefore, the young officers who were able to study in the youth cadre class were all excited, and they were all smiling and happy.

After Li Zhan looked at the roster, he was surprised to find that the youth cadre class was definitely worthy of the name, and the oldest was only thirty-three years old, and most of them were young men in their twenties. It is conceivable that if these people take up a high position in the future, this class will definitely become the starting point of their career.

Training is training, and it's good to make a few more comrades-in-arms. With such self-comfort, Li Zhan was not so resistant. In fact, what he paid the most attention to was the salary after the promotion, and he never forgot that he still owed a lot of money. The sense of loss caused by the change in the tie-rod fee also dissipated.

Who would have thought that the pull rod fee for driving the J-7 in the 73rd Division was 255 per hour, is it because it is a J-7II? Although it was only fifty yuan less than when he was in the second division, it was a lot of money in a year.

Li Zhan has seen how poor the 73rd Division is, and it is reflected in the 101st Regiment. According to the regulations, Li Zhan can only take the train when he comes here for training, and if he takes a plane, his level is not enough, and he has to pay out of his own pocket if he wants to sit. However, in order to allow Li Zhan to arrive in Chang'an before the start of the shift, Xue Xiangdong spent more than half an hour looking for a station before he got the promise of a transportation fee and a solution at the station. The station is too rich.

The 101st Regiment was so poor that Xue Xiangdong's car was second-hand goods from a certain army department.

Let's talk about empty guns, the standard of the 101st Regiment is only two-thirds of that of the Second Division. This is not a regimental deduction, but a clear stipulation from the superiors. Who made you a third-class flying group?

Li Zhan had already expected that the future would be more difficult, after all, he was a "child from a big city", accustomed to big scenes, big pomp and seafood, and he entered the mountains all of a sudden, and he always had to have an adaptation period.

If you don't feel at ease, you will only make yourself uncomfortable, and nothing will affect you. Li Zhan understood this truth as early as when he enlisted in the army.

At that time, his master Liu Guojian told them: "When you come, put your heart in place and concentrate on training, if you don't concentrate, it is you who suffers, and you who are uncomfortable." Resistance is the most useless thing, except for affecting the quality of your training. Remember, you can't change anything, and when you get to my stage, maybe you can try to change the environment. ”

There is no doubt that for the 73rd Division and the 101st Regiment, Li Zhan is a newcomer and a recruit, and he can't change anything. In this case, why bother to feel sorry for yourself.

Training classes for young cadres of all branches of the military region were opened.

Li Zhan, who has hidden his merits and fame, has regained the feeling of campus life, and he is very familiar with daily physical training. In the morning, he studied politics to enhance his ideological consciousness, in the afternoon he participated in discussion classes and engaged in physical training, and in the evening he played ball and engaged in entertainment.

On the day of the National Day parade, the whole class gathered in the military club to watch.

When Li Zhan saw the SU-27 formation flying over Tiananmen Square, he was very excited, it was a fighter plane piloted by his former comrades-in-arms, which was inspected by the people of the whole country, and Zhang Xueyang must have been in the cockpit of one of the fighters. Thinking of the super-rich second-generation Zhang Xueyang who wrote the war book for the first time, Li Zhan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, people can't be compared, he is so good at doing it in the end, and he has always been a trump card for good training with other people's rules, and he also flew over Tiananmen Square by plane.

In addition to these personal emotions, Li Zhan also saw the future development trend of the troops from the grouping situation. The term "syntheticization" is mentioned less and less, indicating that the development has reached the stage of normalization, and the next step is definitely to undergo major surgery. The large scale of the reference to combat support equipment shows that the above has a clearer understanding of future wars.

As far as the Air Force is concerned, the air division-army-division-regiment-brigade to the military region-division-regiment-brigade, the latter is also out of date, and the future air force may even have to overhaul its stations. It is inevitable to streamline the command level, and it is the trend to build a flattened command mechanism. The formation of troops in the type of fighter aircraft will no longer meet the requirements of future wars, and the mixed combat units will definitely be the only result.

Specific to the 101st regiment, well, when will all those old guys be replaced and then discuss the issue of establishment.

The wave of reform is about to come to his face, and Li Zhan keeps asking himself in his heart whether he is ready to fight in the sky? He pondered this question for a long time like an old monk who had cultivated deeply. In the end, he came to the conclusion that he still thinks that the combat style of being rough, simple, crisp and neat, and sometimes soaring at supersonic speeds is more reliable.

Everything is broken, only fast is not broken.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and after the graduation ceremony, Li Zhan said goodbye to his classmates and exchanged contact information, and rushed to the airport to fly directly to Beiku without stopping for a moment.

It was early autumn when I went, and it was cold winter when I returned.

In December, it was snowy and icy.
