At the end of a busy day of flying, when Li Zhan left the tower, Fang Chenghe told him to get ready to fly. It got him excited.

Fang Chenghe left him in the tower to participate in the command of the tower because he had the intention of observing his state. From the take-off of the 6th Regiment's Voyage Police Patrol Formation, to the arrival of two batches of two J-8s in the 5th Regiment, and then to the one-hour air target training in the afternoon, and finally to welcome the Voyage Police Patrol Formation back to the field. It can be said that it is a relatively high-intensity work, and Li Zhan's entry and exit command is also very standard, which means that his state has fully recovered.

Thinking of Li Zhan's proper issuance of various passwords, Fang Chenghe couldn't help but think of a piece of information in the monthly report from the intelligence department a few days ago -- the pilot of the No. 37 plane had a code name called "Mad Dog of the South China Sea" in the intelligence and electronic reconnaissance department of a strong enemy. ”

It must be because Li Zhan boldly used a sonic boom to warn the outside plane for the first time.

The intelligence and electronic reconnaissance department of the strong enemy gave code names to all the pilots of the Chinese Air Force that they encountered, and it has been for more than ten years. After we learned about it, we found that most of the code names were very vivid, reflecting the pilot's flying style.

But judging from Li Zhan's performance on the tower today, where is there any trace of a "mad dog"?

However, having said that, in any case, being able to be on the attention list of strong enemies was "granted" a code name by a strong enemy, which proves the ability level of Li Zhan, a new flyer.

In the evening, Li Zhan learned that the two J-8s transferred from eastern Guangdong were not stationed for training, but to strengthen the combat readiness duty force in that direction. At the shift meeting, Qi Hong made it clear that in the next two months, that is, before May, the new pilots should complete the training of shooting at air and ground targets. This is undoubtedly extremely stressful for new pilots.

At the same time, Li Zhan smelled a hint of a different smell from previous years, and felt that the rhythm and efficiency of the troops were changing.

Of course, he's excited about another piece of news that has been officially announced tonight – a pay increase.

When they returned to the dormitory side by side with Nie Jianfeng, they were talking in a low voice, and after returning to the dormitory, Nie Jianfeng simply went into the room with Li Zhan and talked about something that was not easy to talk about in public.

"The first batch of pilots to leave the unit was in October last year, and it has been less than half a year since the full combat is now, and according to the usual practice, no matter how fast the training of aerial and ground targets is, it will have to wait until the second half of the year. You're different, you're basically in sync with the training of the old pilots. ”

Nie Jianfeng took a large teapot handed over by Li Zhan and held it in his hand, sat on the wooden chair with his elbows propped on his knees, and said as he looked at Li Zhan with his head held high.

After taking off his shirt and putting it aside, Li Zhan turned on the electric fan on the ground, and the air in the room flowed, and he asked, "That is to say, the pace of training of the troops has accelerated, judging from the calm tone of the political commissar, it is very likely that it was determined at the end of last year, and it is completely the annual training plan of the division." ”

Nodding slightly, Nie Jianfeng thought thoughtfully, "This is easy to explain, the purpose of dropping the five regiments and two eight masters is to reduce the pressure on combat readiness duty at the Xixian station and free up more manpower and time for the training of new pilots." ”

Suddenly remembering something, Li Zhan smiled bitterly, "Team Nie, I still have to train with the new pilots." At the training base, he has shot several empty targets, and the ground targets have only been on the simulator. ”

Nie Jianfeng stared at Li Zhan in disbelief, "You haven't shot live ammunition at a ground target?" ”

Who would believe that pilots who have already been on combat readiness duty and even participated in the handling of the air situation have never fired live ammunition at ground targets?

What are fighters for, there will be a thousand and ten thousand, it is nothing more than hitting planes and ground targets. The J-7E equipped with the fourth regiment not only has air-to-air missile attack capability, but also has ground attack capability. Under the guidance of the construction concept of having both offense and defense, the combat capability of ground attack has been paid more and more attention by the higher authorities.

How could such a dazzling new pilot not shoot live ammunition at a ground target?

Li Zhan asked rhetorically, "Did you shoot live ammunition at a ground target when you were at the training base?" ”

"I ...... Well, I didn't fight either. Nie Jianfeng subconsciously raised his body, and then said helplessly.

The training base is very limited in what can be taught, and many actual combat subjects are only carried out after leaving the army, so even if there is no need for modification, it will take about a year of training for a new pilot to become a qualified fighter pilot.

What are Li Zhan's advantages?

It is because he is comparable to the flying skills of old pilots or even senior pilots, and he is proficient in the control of fighters and has a unique flying style. That's why he dared to use a sonic boom to warn him if he didn't collide when he was evicting the plane.

In addition, he was about the same as the pilots of the same period in other subjects, which was the reason why he barely hit the target last time.

"I forgot that you are also a new flyer." Nie Jianfeng spread his hands and said.

Li Zhan smiled and said nothing.

Nie Jianfeng took a sip of tea and said, "That's Chen Fei taking you, the empty target and the ground target are all targets, and I am still the target." When the air target is fired live, I still have to tow the target, alas. ”

"So you're going to be very busy and you're going to have to fly a lot." Li Zhan said.

Nie Jianfeng put down the teapot and said, "It's not, it's an hour or two to go up and stay, and if there is no accident, you even have to fly every day." It's not a good job, it's particularly boring. ”

"There's a trolley fee." Li Zhan said.

Nie Jianfeng was choked for a moment, and said with hatred, "You can't let go of the lever fee, right, during this time, I found that you always pull the rod and pull the rod fee, are you so short of money?" ”

Sighing and shaking his head, Li Zhan said, "I bought the house on impulse, and it was a large house, and I was burdened with hundreds of thousands of debts overnight, well, that's right, I'm short of money." ”

"...... you" Nie Jianfeng couldn't help laughing, "First brother, brother Zhan, you haven't figured out your identity yet, you're a pilot, you're flying a plane, and you're worried that you can't afford to repay the loan for a house?" ”

That's true.

There are so many types of troops, and in terms of treatment, probably only those who drive nuclear submarines are better than pilots.

"I didn't owe so much money, and I felt a stone in my heart." Li Zhan said honestly, "I want to exchange with you, I can fly every day, I would rather be boring." If you can fly ten days a month, if you count two hours a day, that's twenty hours. My God, six thousand yuan, Nie team, don't you have to have fifteen or six a month? ”

Nie Jianfeng was completely speechless, looked at the frightened Li Zhan, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you're crazy." Didn't you just say at the meeting that wages and basic salaries will be increased from next month, and the whole army will be unified. What are you worried about? Also, I have more than 7,000 now, even if I pay 6,000 a month, I don't have 15,000! ”

"Can't you?" Li Zhan didn't believe it.

Staring at Li Zhan, Nie Jianfeng suddenly asked, "You tell me the truth, how much is your salary now?" ”

At this time, he realized that Li Zhan had been in the army for less than half a year, and he had received a cadet's salary before, so where did he get so much money to buy a house?

He knew about Li Zhan's family situation.

Li Zhan was a little embarrassed, of course he knew that his salary was actually higher than Nie Jianfeng's.

"From the real recruitment, how much salary do you brat have?" Nie Jianfeng sensed the abnormality and asked in a deep voice.

"No more, no less, less than ten thousand." Li Zhan said.

"How much is that?" Nie Jianfeng chased after him.

Li Zhan said, "More than a thousand." ”

“…… Speak well. ”

Smiling, Li Zhan said, "It's more than eight thousand, and it's estimated that it will be ten thousand yuan smaller next month." ”

Nie Jianfeng looked at Li Zhan in shock, this was the fact that he couldn't believe. Is this a new pilot, it's all up to the captain's salary!

After a while, Nie Jianfeng patted his chest and said, "Let me slow down, people are more popular than people, you have only been in the army for many years, and you are 10,000 yuan younger." ”

Li Zhan comforted, "You will also have more than 8,000 next month, and didn't the political commissar say that from this year onwards, the treatment of military personnel will be increased every year, until it is slightly higher than the local level, what are you worried about." ”

The role has changed, and Li Zhan has to comfort Nie Jianfeng, who was hit.

"No, why are you paid so much?" Nie Jianfeng asked.

Li Zhan drank some tea and said, "The basic salary is the same, I am less than yours, you are the captain of the main company, you have a post allowance, and your military age is longer than mine." However, I have a talent subsidy, which is a lot of money, almost 2,000 yuan a month. ”

"yes, I forgot that you kid is in the Air Force talent pool." Nie Jianfeng suddenly realized, and clapped his fists high-five, "Sure enough, technology is the main engine to promote economic development!" ”

Li Zhan is not easy to talk to about this.

Another way of saying the Air Force talent pool is a special allowance, which is really not a lot of money, but it is absolutely significant. For example, astronauts, for example, are the ones who receive this special allowance. How many astronauts are there in such a big country?

It is a status symbol.

Li Zhan's proposal has directly changed the teaching materials currently being used in the training bases, and it has a bearing on the training of pilots in the flight units of the whole army.

Otherwise, how could he enjoy such special treatment.

Nie Jianfeng absolutely doesn't care about money, and in his eyes, more or less salary is not the difference between more money and less money, but the difference between who is strong and who is weak. Simple logic, powerful people must get more money. Although he does not have a wealthy family like Zhang Xueyang, he is definitely a small rich family compared to most people.

Therefore, under Li Zhan's blow, he had only one thought - to strive to improve his technical level.

"I really want to swap with you." Nie Jianfeng sighed and said, "I'd rather hit the target a few more times than drag the target machine." ”

Li Zhan came to the spirit, "Can you change it?" ”

"Of course not." Nie Jianfeng's eyes lit up when he saw the mention of Qian Li Zhan, and he didn't fight angrily, and said angrily, "You haven't even hit a ground target, how can the division let you drag a target machine." Let's start by completing basic shooting training. ”

After all, he has to face the cruel reality, Li Zhan comforted himself and said, "I can only strive to practice a few more times, and mosquito legs are also meat." ”

Speaking of which, it was still a rod fee, and Nie Jianfeng was completely helpless.
