Chapter 614: Old Friend Bomber's Puzzle
Weather reports from the top base show that the weather will change abnormally in the near future, and the probability of microstorms is very high, and the air department has asked the top base to stop all flight activities until the weather returns to normal. In a very short period of time on the same day, there were two special dangers caused by microstorms, which attracted the attention of the air division.
The modification training of the women's flight squad had to be suspended, and the time for Li Zhan to complete the task had to be postponed. On the one hand, he is constantly trying to find a way, on the one hand, because the teaching method he implements must ensure continuity in order to achieve the desired effect, and most of the high-intensity training is like curing a disease, and it is meaningless for you to do half a course of treatment when a course of treatment can be effective. On the other hand, there are other factors, he cannot be absent from his post for a long time, and he has just been notified that the date for the delivery of the aircraft carrier has been determined.
For a long time, our army has been in a state of personnel and equipment, but after 2008, this situation has changed, especially in the aspect of aircraft carrier operations, the military industry has been holding back the gas for decades, and new equipment has emerged one after another, and the troops have been overwhelmed, and the phenomenon of equipment and personnel has appeared.
The delivery of the aircraft carrier is imminent, but the pilot team is not well trained, which will become a big joke. The training of carrier-based fighter pilots in our army is extremely difficult, because of the blockade of Western countries, we cannot use their mature experience. For example, France, which seems to be the friendliest, is impossible for you to get on the ship and practice. The last military exchange was entirely because France wanted to use China's prestige to make a brilliant military exchange of air forces in many countries, so it made an exception to allow Chinese pilots to be led around by their instructors.
It can be said that our contingent of carrier-based fighter pilots began to develop on the basis of a blank slate, and they have overcome difficult problems one after another. To what extent? The deputy leader of the Navy moved his office from the capital to the flight training base, and he set up there to lead the team in tackling key problems. Li Zhan had met the naval leader several times, and the dignified lieutenant general tossed himself into the appearance of an old peasant worker.
At such a critical moment, every day is precious, and perhaps just one day is missing, and history will be changed. Li Zhan knew that he could contribute more to this, and how could he be willing to waste his time. In another week, the Flying Shark unit will resume normal training, and it must complete the modification training of the women's flying class according to the original plan.
Li Zhan and Xiao Zhengyang discussed nervously, and finally decided to ask the Air Division to allow the female flight squad to change the training base to ensure uninterrupted training. After discussion and study, the air division approved the request, and all the female pilots were transferred to the Xiding station to continue the modification training. Chen Jialiang, the commander of the bomber division to which the Xiding Field Station belongs, was an old friend of Li Zhan, and after receiving the notice, he couldn't help laughing, he was so happy that he immediately swept the bed and waited.
The female pilots took the Air Force bus and the maintenance support detachment to Xidingchang Station through ground maneuvering, while Li Zhan and Yu Xumei drove the No. 10 J-10S to Xidingchang Station. There are bombers over there, but there are no fighters to provide training. In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Li Zhan personally took off this time, and only after climbing to a safe height did he hand over the control to Yu Xumei.
Transitioning can be challenging, especially for pilots who are unfamiliar with the situation at their destination. One of the main purposes of the troops' frequent transfer flights is to train the pilots' ability to take off and land in unfamiliar areas. In order to open up the air routes on the Tanggula Plateau, the Air Force dispatched the most experienced flight crews to fly, and encountered various thrilling situations in the process.
Unfamiliar terrain means that the pilot has no knowledge of the target airfield, where the weather and terrain are the most important. Military airports are different from civilian airports, and the location of the former should first be selected from a military point of view, and the others should be placed in a secondary position. The need for the construction of the national defense system always comes first.
When preparing to land, Li Zhan introduced the situation of Xidingchang Station to Yu Xumei in detail, and carefully guided her to aim at the airport runway early through the navigation station.
"There are bomber units stationed at the Xiding Field Station, and they usually fly on five sides, and we are no exception. After 7 kilometers of landing, turn right, fly counterclockwise to the five sides, and contact the tower to request landing at the three-sided position. Li Zhan told Yu Xumei.
Yu Xumei replied, "Understood, turn right after passing the landing navigation station, fly five sides, and contact the tower on three sides to land." ”
"Sure, let's do it."
They took off at 8 a.m. and arrived at Siding Station in just thirty minutes. The other female pilots and maintenance support units arrived at the Xiding station yesterday and completed their preparations, and they were ready to prepare for flight training as soon as they landed. The air division gave an order to the bomber divisions, asking them to do their best to ensure the training of the female flight class.
Under Li Zhan's guidance, Yu Xumei landed smoothly. Unexpectedly, Chen Jialiang was waiting at the parking lot to greet him.
As soon as Li Zhan got off the plane, Chen Jialiang strode up and smiled heartily, "Deputy Chief Coach Li, meet again!" ”
Hurriedly saluted, Li Zhan said, "Master Chen personally came to pick me up, I am flattered!" ”
"Okay, okay, old friends, let's talk normally." Chen Jialiang always felt that his position had become a grassroots petty officer when he came out of Li Zhan's mouth, so he hurriedly said.
Li Zhan pointed at Yu Xumei, "Comrade Yu Xumei, this is Senior Colonel Chen Jialiang, commander of the bomber division. ”
Yu Xumei didn't dare to slack off, and stood up and saluted, "Good chief!" ”
"Good, hello! Settle in first. ”
The group got into the Pajero commuter bus, Yu Xumei sat in the co-pilot, and Li Zhan and Chen Jialiang sat in the back seat.
Chen Jialiang in the car joked, "As long as you kid comes to me, it's not good." This time, in order to ensure your training, most of our training has to be postponed. I'm fully committed to your work! ”
"Division Commander Chen, what you said is not right, how can you say that it supports my work, I am a naval pilot, I am in the navy, and I was invited by the air department to come over for training. It's your job. Li Zhan said with a smile.
Chen Jialiang was stunned for a moment, and immediately glared and said, "Why, I really thought of myself as a naval pilot within a few days of arriving at HNA, but you are a person from our Air Force, and this is still your mother's home." ”
"My mother's home is in Beiku." Li Zhan didn't give him any face.
Chen Jialiang waved his hand helplessly, "Okay, okay, so I have to thank you for supporting the work of our Air Force." ”
"You're welcome, they're all soldiers of the people." Li Zhan accepted it calmly.
This made Chen Jialiang very helpless, and said with a wry smile, "Xiao Li, do you remember the year when you first came to work in Beiku?" When the Eagle Falcon Brigade was first established, there was not enough aviation fuel for your high-intensity training, so our department gave you dozens of tons of aviation fuel. You're not someone who doesn't miss old loves. Besides, didn't the three Jianzhan 8s that were assigned to us later also be used by you first? ”
Li Zhan said, "Master Chen, don't misunderstand, those three Detective Eight were originally ours, but you didn't pay attention to the rules and cut off the Hu halfway." What kind of tactical reconnaissance plane are you a bomber division grabbing with us? ”
Yu Xumei, who was in the co-pilot, heard it in a fog, and it took a long time to understand what the situation was. When the daring instructor was working in the North Library, he dared to wrestle with the leaders of the hall, and the instructor should have been just the captain at that time, right? This person is excellent, and he can really ignore the gap between rank and rank to a certain extent.
"Anyway, when you were working in Beiku, my Lao Chen was still interesting enough to you, that red and blue confrontation, I didn't send troops to support you regardless of previous suspicions." Chen Jialiang said.
Li Zhan said, "I take this love." Master Chen, just say it directly, you don't have to go around in such a big circle, what can I help you? ”
"Hahaha, that's right!" Chen Jialiang laughed, but did not continue.
When they settled down in the guest house, and Li Zhan was the only one left, Chen Jialiang lit a cigarette and said in a deep voice, "I really have something to ask you for, I won't be here for a while this time, and I will call you or even go to you for a while." ”
"Sounds like an easy one. I'm talking about it in the first place, I'm just a vice president faculty member or temporary, and what I can do is very limited. Li Zhan said.
Chen Jialiang waved his hand and said, "You will definitely be able to contribute." It concerns thousands of officers and soldiers in our department, and I have worked hard to promote a relatively good result in this matter. ”
Li Zhan had already discovered that Chen Jialiang's mood was not very stable, giving people the feeling of panicking, it must be a big deal.
He waited for the rest of the story.
Taking a puff of cigarette, Chen Jialiang said, "My department is going to be transferred." ”
Transfer? Transfer!
Li Zhan immediately understood that Chen Jialiang's statement was about the vital interests of thousands of officers and soldiers and a huge contingent of family members, and it was really a major matter worthy of him to open his face and beg for help!
"Sure?" Li Zhan couldn't help but ask.
Chen Jialiang's face was heavy, and he nodded slowly, "It has been determined, the official document has come down, but the specific distribution plan is still being discussed." ”
Now Li Zhanquan understood.
Where else can the Air Force Aviation Unit be transferred to in addition to the HNA? If it is handed over as a whole, it will obviously not give Chen Jialiang such a headache, that is, to change the clothes of the higher-level leading organ and change the station. The HNA stations are all in the coastal areas, and no matter how bad they are, they will not be much worse, and there will obviously not be a big problem in changing the station.
Then there is only one question left.
To lay off people.
"Divisional to brigade? Or is it a division to a regiment? Li Zhan asked.
Chen Jialiang said, "Tuan." The number of pilots is not a big problem, it has been downsized, but the number of fighters has not changed much. The specifics are not yet clear. However, a large part of the ground crew has to be diverted, some have to change jobs, and some have to retire. ”
Obviously, when he said reassignment, he was referring to the officer corps, and when he was retired, he was talking about the non-commissioned officer corps. The number of cadres and non-commissioned officers in the units was numerous, and the divisional units became regimental units, and the establishment of these regulations was reduced by two-thirds. Obviously, the diversion is also limited, in other words, at least half of the ground staff will have to change jobs or retire.
Li Zhan has never encountered a situation of reorganization and disarmament in his military career, and the revocation of the number of his old unit is not the same as the reorganization and disarmament, that is because there are special circumstances in which the entire unit is directly withdrawn, and the most important thing is that all the remnants of the unit have been arranged very, very well. For example, he re-enrolled in the fighter combat unit to learn fighter piloting skills and rejoined the fighter combat unit, which is equivalent to the unit giving him a reset, giving him a chance to start over, and has a transcendent bonus.
The problems faced by the bomber division are not on one level, someone has to make sacrifices. Those who can stay and continue to serve must also make sacrifices, division-level units are changed to regiment-level units, and the number of posts is reduced simultaneously, so you may be the deputy regiment commander, but after the regiment is reorganized, you may be the deputy section chief or deputy group leader, and you may not even be able to mix your duties, you can only be a deputy regiment-level pilot.
At this time, it is very nonsense to talk to Chen Jialiang about what to dedicate to being a soldier, the reality is very cruel and helpless, and it is not a few big words that can solve the problem. If you can't even guarantee the basic livelihood of the individual, you will not have a convincing basis for talking about giving.
A bomber division has several thousand officers and men plus their families, and to lay off two-thirds of them is to lay off two-thirds of the families. Although the army will not directly push these officers and men into society, in the final analysis, it is the majority who want to stay in the army and continue to serve. This contradiction is very prominent.
From a practical point of view, now that the treatment of the troops is getting better and better, who is willing to leave the troops?
Soldiers talk about dedication, but you can't ask soldiers to only talk about dedication!
It's easy to compare, with a generally lower salary than the local government, but every time there is a catastrophe, the first thing to rush up is this team, who will think about how much they get every month, up to the general and down to the small privates in the embankment!
We have to see things dialectically.
Although Chen Jialiang didn't say it, Li Zhan still easily guessed his thoughts. The ground support team of the bomber division needs to find a suitable receiving unit, ideally a new aviation unit, such as the Flying Shark unit.
Li Zhan pondered, this matter was too big, he had to be cautious. Chen Jialiang was not in a hurry, he knew that of course Li Zhan did not have the ability to make a final decision, but if Li Zhan helped to speak, there would be a great hope. Although Li Zhan's rank is not high, his personal prestige in the air force system and the naval aviation system is very high, and the higher-level leading organs attach great importance to his opinions.
In fact, Chen Jialiang knew very well that he didn't need to put a lot of difficulties on the benefits of receiving the ground crew of the bomber division, because Li Zhan knew these very well.
After a long time, Li Zhan said in a deep voice, "The Flying Shark unit must continue to expand, objectively there is a lack of ground crew, and the team of the bomber division can be used quickly after training in the past." But you know it's a big deal, and I'm afraid our commander doesn't have the right to decide. We only have the right to make suggestions, and how to make this suggestion, how to connect with your side, needs to be considered in the long run. ”
Chen Jialiang breathed a sigh of relief, Li Zhan said this meant that he had promised to help, and that was enough. Only the Supreme Command has the right to decide on the matter of subordination, not the headquarters, let alone the Air Division.
However, with the help of the Mediterranean stealth killer, the High Command must be able to hear the voices of the masses.
"How do you need my side to cooperate, just say, thousands of officers and soldiers' families are looking forward to it, and everyone is really anxious." Chen Jialiang said with a sigh.
"Experienced ground staff are what we urgently need, but I don't want any of your agency logistics personnel, so I have to say that." Li Zhan reminded.
Chen Jialiang hurriedly said, "Of course, of course, you can rest assured, aircraft maintenance and ground handling, that's all, I won't even stuff the aviation supplies to you." ”
"Okay, I'll do my best."
