821 yearning for the sky
With excitement and excitement, Xie Chaoqun followed his classmates into this air base. Xie Chaoqun, a www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, is a native of Yueyang, Hunan, and is now eighteen years old, his family is well-off, and his father is a businessman. When he was a child, he studied the Four Books and the Five Classics, but later his father sent him to Changjun Middle School in Changsha, a school run by the Tang people. Four years of study made Xie Chaoqun different from ordinary children of scholars, he received Tang education and Tang style thought, so he was more similar to the Tang people from North America.
Xie Chaoqun is very good in science, and he can often get perfect marks in mathematics, physics and chemistry, but he is a little lame in liberal arts, and he is not very good at this kind of content since he was a child. Originally, after he graduated from high school, his father hoped that his son could learn to do business with him. Their family's business is getting bigger and bigger, and when the Tang army entered the city last year, Xie's father also made a contribution, united with the gentry of Hunan Province to put pressure on the Changsha government, and rejected the revolutionary rebellion. After Datang stabilized the situation, the official invited Xie Chaoqun to join politics. Most of the Chinese people are a bit of an official fan, and Xie's father hopes to be able to hand over the business to his son to take care of, and then become an official himself.
It's just that Xie Chaoqunzhi is not here, he plans to continue to go to university after graduation, he was particularly interested in flying when he was in middle school, hoping to study aviation. But Xie's father is very traditional, he is never worried about letting his son go to heaven, and he thinks it is useless to read so many books, so he forces his son to do business with him.
Xie Chaoqun insisted on his own opinion, and then found a teacher from his middle school, and the teacher personally came to do the work, so that he didn't say that he didn't move Xie's father, and finally came up with a sentence "If Datang civil servants force their children to go against their will, I am afraid that it will affect the official reputation", and Xie's father was relieved.
At this time, Xie Chaoqun heard from the teacher that education was being run in various parts of China, many universities were established, and there were special aviation schools, and Nanchang was built Nanchang Hangkong University. Xie Chaoqun, with the support of his teacher, went to Nanchang and took the entrance exam. He has a high school diploma certified by the Ministry of Culture and Education of the Tang Dynasty, and in the special period when the reunification has just been completed, the newly built universities do not require them to take the annual Datang College Entrance Examination, but change to a temporary entrance examination. Xie Chaoqun was well prepared and was finally admitted to Nanchang Hangkong University.
At this time, there are two paths in front of him, one is to choose a major in aviation technology, and the other is to apply for the Air Force recruitment. The latter is more difficult, but after successful selection, it will definitely be able to fly into the blue sky. Xie Chaoqun didn't have much concept of the military or anything in the past, but he just wanted to be able to fly more freely, and obviously civil aircraft would not let pilots do special effects in the air, so they could only become fighter pilots.
Xie Chaoqun was successfully selected after going through the physical examination, political review and other procedures. At the beginning of his college life, he was required to complete cultural courses just like regular college students, but they were already able to get some early exposure to the Air Force. This time, the aviation school led the team to the Datang Air Force base, in fact, to increase the air force cadets' understanding of the Air Force.
The Datang Air Force is a new branch of the armed forces, and it has been established for less than a year. However, her development speed is also extremely fast, and she may become a large branch of the navy in the future.
Xie Chaoqun, the instructor of the cadet squadron, led some ignorant and excited trainees, and repeatedly emphasized all kinds of discipline. Most of the students, like Xie Chaoqun, are graduates of Datang Middle School in various places, and their knowledge level and insight are not much different from those of Datang Middle School students in North America. In the past 20 years, Datang has built many schools in the Central Plains, including in every province and several in some large cities. These people have also been successfully transformed into talents that Datang can use immediately after reunification, and many of them have been recruited as civil servants and middle and high-level cadres in enterprises. Twenty years ago, the Tang Dynasty was able to destroy the upper rule of the Qing Empire, but it could not rule the country smoothly because there was no such group of people. Of course, the talents cultivated from the more than 30 million people in Datang are the most important force that can fully control the whole country after reunification.
The instructor of the aviation school pointed to the rows of air force fighters not far away and said: "Students, this is the J-2, the main fighter of our air force, a very good fighter. Its main combat mission is to conduct air operations, shoot down all kinds of enemy aircraft, and escort our army's bombers, transport planes, and other types of aircraft. It can be said unceremoniously that the J-2 is the best fighter in the world, with super maneuverability and excellent firepower. ”
The instructor will not introduce the specific tactical parameters to the trainees, first, it is not necessary, and second, these children are still young and have a poor sense of secrecy, and the parameters of new Datang military aircraft such as the J-2 are still very confidential, and it will be troublesome if they are not intentionally circulated.
The J-2 fighter is actually the first full-time fighter of the Air Force, and there was no need for air combat in the army aviation before, so it is enough for reconnaissance aircraft and attack aircraft to have a certain air combat capability. However, as the level of aircraft in other countries is getting higher and higher, even if it is far from Datang, the Air Force cannot be lazy, so it is equipped with the current J-2. Its prototype is the La-11 piston fighter produced by the Lavokin Design Bureau, and it is also another piston fighter with the most successful results in the PLA Air Force. It's just that this fighter was born at the wrong time, it was designed and put into service after World War II, when it was already the era of jet aircraft taking off, so its influence was not as good as that of famous aircraft such as Spitfire and BF109.
In fact, the Air Force intends to put it in place in one step and directly launch the project of copycat Mustang, but the designers of Boeing's fighter division always want to add something and subtract something, and they have to hold back the Mustang that is better than the Mustang in history, so the progress is very slow. In addition, some parts are not particularly mature, and they are far less reliable than the J-2 built on mature technology. Therefore, the Air Force, which urgently needs to deploy a large number of reliable and powerful fighters, still chose the copycat La-11, but Boeing has not given up the copycat Mustang and is constantly improving its technology.
It's just that Datang has no prospect of a large-scale war for the time being, and the Air Force will equip all aviation units at one time, so a huge order of 8,500 aircraft has been placed, and with the production capacity of Xiangzhan, it will be able to deliver it to the Air Force within four years.
Regarding the procurement of equipment in the military, the rookies at this time did not understand. But in Xie Chaoqun's eyes, these magical creations made by humans and able to fly into the sky are full of unfathomable charm. He couldn't wait to become a qualified pilot and fly this fighter into the sky. (To be continued.) )
