After Zhang Shusheng clearly put forward the theory of racial superiority, the political axe of the Republic urgently issued a new round of follow-up policies, mainly including: 1. Launching a new edition of textbooks to further strengthen the education of national consciousness and racial civilization. 2. Further improve the treatment of workers and devotees, and optimize the wage system, welfare system, and social security system. Among them, the policy for soldiers, workers, educators, scientific and technological workers, and peasants is the focus.

For example, an excellent veteran worker can have a higher salary and benefits than a factory manager. And an excellent special teacher can enjoy more treatment than a director of education at the level in charge. On the premise of improving the remuneration of scientific workers, scientific and technological achievement awards in various industries will be further established, and cash and equivalents and corresponding honors will be used as real rewards. On the issue of peasants, in addition to conscientiously implementing various reductions and exemptions and subsidies, it is necessary to concentrate on solving the problems of clothing, food, housing, and transportation for peasants in remote areas, and basically solve the problems of connecting remote rural towns and towns with roads and electricity supply within five years.

In the area of building a clean and honest government and work style, a new round of rectification campaign has been launched from within the Ba'ath Party to strictly enforce party discipline and exercise open supervision. In addition, the powers of the Ministry of Supervision and the Ministry of Integrity have been further expanded, and the supervision of reading power has been realized, and the promotion of officials has also been completely outside the political axe system and the party member system.

Since the Republic implements the system of national bank accounts, the accounts of civil servants and party members are open and subject to social supervision, this article has been mandatory since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and each branch of the People's Bank of the Republic will regularly provide the Supervision Department and the Ministry of Integrity with a list of abnormalities, and the two departments have the power and must investigate the abnormal accounts of civil servants.

In 1941, on February 14, the nineteenth day of the first lunar month, the festive atmosphere of the Lantern Festival had not yet passed, and another huge piece of good news was sent to Zhang Shusheng.

"Chairman!"

Just after the Lantern Festival, Air Force Commander Fan Siran came to report the good news to Zhang Shusheng.

Although he had expected it, Zhang Shusheng was still very excited, and waved his hand to him.

Fan Siran: "Chairman of the Committee, through the efforts of all the researchers of the 2302 Research Institute and the comrades of the Jet Power Laboratory, with the full cooperation of dozens of research institutes, after 11 years, the prototype of the X-machine project, a major project of the Chinese Air Force, has reached the conditions for its first flight and finalization. ”

"Good, good......"

Zhang Shusheng's heart was unbearable with excitement, if the birth of the Jian-1 fighter meant that China in the southwest period had embarked on the road of becoming an air power in World War II, then the X-machine project was an important project leading China to become an aviation power.

Jet fighters must be the mainstream in the next few decades or even a hundred years, ahead of the Germans, the jet fighter is put into practical use, and the accumulation of jet fighters from materials to engines, from aerodynamic layout design to the overall engineering design of the aircraft and other thousands of talents, without ten years of work, absolutely unimaginable.

Perhaps, two years later, the Germans will be able to rely on their secret aircraft research center to come up with the so-called ' The world's second 'jet fighter, perhaps the Soviets in history were able to accelerate the birth of their own MiG jet fighters after obtaining the research results of the Germans, and perhaps the Americans could rely on a strong industrial base and a strong scientific research base, as well as the success of German research to quickly improve the surname of jet fighters, but they all face a huge problem: the traditional aviation power was surpassed by the Chinese in accumulating basic industry in more than 20 years and developing jet fighters in 10 years.

Jet fighters, especially fighter jets, have too many advantages over propeller aircraft. In the era of propeller aircraft, it is extremely difficult to increase the speed and altitude of space, and the rate of climb and hovering surname ability basically determine the combat surname of an aircraft, while in the era of jet fighters, under higher speed and higher maneuverability, air combat will become more complicated.

The revolution of propulsive power will be directly manifested in the skies above the battlefield.

Throughout history, the Me-262 jet fighter that the Germans only made its debut at the end of World War II, and the better jet fighters that the Soviets and Americans debuted just after the end of World War II, the MiG-15 fighter and the F86 fighter, are all epoch-making works of jet aircraft. As for those first-generation machines, they are not much to pay attention to.

And now, all this has been broken by China's X-machine project.

Originally, in history, although the Germans began to secretly develop jet fighters in the 30s, at that time, everything was crossing the river by feeling the stones, the opinions of experts were not unified, and the troops' operational needs for aircraft were not clear, and even after the aircraft was mass-produced, they were still changing the order day and night, requiring the production of night combat type today, the production of reconnaissance type tomorrow, and the fighter-bombing type the day after tomorrow, and the final result was a total of more than 1,400 ME-262 jet fighters, which were divided into several types of uses. Huge air superiority was not formed at all.

You know, at that time, the ME-262 jet fighter constituted a huge advantage over the front-line fighters of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union.

And this time, China tested the new jet fighter four years ahead of schedule, and established a one-stop industry from research and development, design to production, once needed, to open a factory, in the same time, will produce several times or even ten times the size of the Germans.

Originally, in history, at the end of World War II, how could Germany, which was dying and struggling at the end of World War II and being madly grass by the three big men of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union, be stronger than China today.

"Chairman, the institute has a request." The Air Force is about to have a jet fighter that is unique in the world, and the Air Force of the Republic has finally gone through a difficult road of development, from being poor and white -- having a small net worth -- an Asian air power -- is about to become a world air power -- Fan Siran said with some excitement, "Han Zhenyang, director of the 2302 Research Institute, and all the members of the research institute have made a request, and they hope that the chairman of the committee can personally go to the first flight of the X machine. ”

"Haha, this is a good thing, I, the chairman, don't like anything else, I like to run science and technology projects." Zhang Shusheng laughed and said, this Fan Siran is afraid that he knows that he has a preference for participating in some major scientific and technological projects, so he proposed it, go, of course, this is not only a big matter for the Air Force, but a big thing for the nation.

In the future, under the conventional warfare system, air supremacy is the premise of almost all combat plans.

Due to the strong industrial and scientific and technological foundation in the southwest, a considerable number of major projects of the republic are carried out in the southwest, and the intensive research centers, the university clusters of the ring feed, the advanced research institutes and the many expensive equipment have provided the conditions for the concentrated research institutes to make scientific and technological breakthroughs.

Centralization has the advantage that it is more efficient than other systems, and the Baath Party's centralization is completely different from that of Red Soviet Russia.

In addition to the many research institutes with the 2302 Research Institute as the main body, the Chengdu Aircraft Manufacturing Center in Yibin Branch is responsible for aircraft assembly and manufacturing, Yibin Aerospace Engine Manufacturing Plant is responsible for engine manufacturing, and Mianyang High-tech Park is responsible for other major parts manufacturing.

Due to the need for a high degree of secrecy, the plane test flight was selected at a secret airport in the southern mountains of Yibin, and the Yibin branch of the Chengdu Aircraft Manufacturing Center happened to be here.

Zhang Shusheng had also been to the jet fighter project before, when it was still in the southwest, because all aspects of the aircraft indicators had not yet fully reached the standard, just some simple engine tests and flight simulation tests. At that time, the test was carried out in the jet power laboratory, but this time the knife and gun were unsheathed, and the real person flew the real plane for the first time.

On February 17, Zhang Shusheng boarded Air Force One and went to the southwest to inspect the first flight of the X plane.

In the southwest, Zhang Shusheng once saw the design of the X machine, which is a jet fighter with a swept wing, although the air intake is in the front, but it is better hidden, less damage to the aerodynamic layout, and the overall shape of the metal fuselage is streamlined and beautiful, which is much stronger than the ME-262, MiG-15 firewood bundle and F86 Sabre jet fighter.

Today happened to be Monday, in Sichuan in February, the fog was still very thick, and when Air Force One broke through the clouds and landed at Yibin Zongchang Airport, the sky was still falling with a sparse light rain.

"Chairman, this weather won't affect the test flight, right?"

Fan Siran took the umbrella from the random staff and was about to help Zhang Shusheng open it, but Zhang Shusheng beckoned to take the umbrella from the personal secretary, opened it without a trace, and the group got off the plane.

"Don't worry, this light rain will stop in a while. If I had changed when I was a child, I wouldn't even have to use an umbrella, and at that time, I really liked rainy days. ”

Zhang Shusheng looked up at the sky that was about to clear, and he could see the beautiful scenery after the rain for a while.

"The rain in the south and the snow in the north can affect people's moods, and I personally love rain and snow. The hometown of the chairman of the committee is really Zhong Lingyuxiu, and he is an outstanding person. Fan Siran knows that the chairman's hometown is Yibin, but he has not been able to determine the exact place, and this is also a topic that is not mentioned in the high-level of the republic, and the propaganda only uses the entire Yibin jurisdiction as a revolutionary old area to publicize, saying that the chairman lost his relatives at a young age, and then grew up with the Sun family, which can be regarded as a unified political tone, after all, no one will say that Zhang Shusheng was once downtrodden in the southeast.

However, Fan Siran is not a sycophant, the scenery of Yibin is really good, especially the cement road from Zongchang Airport to Shangzhou Military Airport, with mountains on one side and a tributary of the Minjiang River on the other.

In less than 30 minutes' drive, after several light and dark checks along the way, and even physical barriers blocking the road, Zhang Shusheng's convoy arrived at the Shangzhou Military Airport, which was in top secret.

Zhang Shusheng's arrival made the atmosphere at the Shangzhou Military Airport instantly burst to the top, although the saluting soldiers had received psychological training on meeting senior leaders very early, but the saluting hands still couldn't stop shaking, after shouting the salute, after seeing the chairman return the salute, the whole person seemed to take off, great joy and excitement.

Han Zhenyang, the general director of the X-machine project, Senior Colonel Zhang Chaomin, a deputy director of the propulsion power laboratory and a person in charge of the military, and the lieutenant colonel in charge of the Shangzhou Airport led the scientific researchers, technicians, and workers' representatives at the airport, and the officers and soldiers welcomed Zhang Shusheng's arrival.

"Chairman of the committee, this is the finalized machine of the X machine, and it is the first flight in the afternoon."

Han Zhenyang endured his excitement and personally opened the door of the hangar, and in the hangar, under the light, a swept wing jet fighter reflecting a metallic luster was placed majestically in the center of the hangar.

"This is the first generation of jet fighters in my mind, and this is the top trump card of World War II in my mind." Zhang Shusheng looked at the X machine in front of him, could not bear the excitement in patience, although the surface was calm and calm, but the heart had already surged, stepped forward, subtly rubbed the fuselage of the fighter, and felt the traces of the modern aviation industry, this is the Chinese, epoch-making aircraft achievements.

Compared with the impression of the MiG-15 is much more powerful, than the F86, it has the beauty of the details of the fighter, and the combat surname can also leave the two. The length and width of the X-machine prototype are a little more than that of the propeller fighter, of course, the most special thing is that in addition to the swept wing, it is the deep exhaust vent, the neat fuselage, the swept wing, and the tail vent, which are all huge differences between jet fighters and traditional propeller fighters.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the X-plane were to be sent into battle now, the enemy pilots would surely exclaim: how did this strange big guy fly without a propeller? Moreover, the tail can also breathe fire...... "Chairman, this is the model that we have finally decided after many test flights of model aircraft." Han Zhenyang said with emotion, ten years of sharpening a sword, it's not that the people inside don't know the hardships, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it by crawling and fighting.

Back then, when other Air Force research departments were still working on the research and development of the J-2 fighter, they were already thinking about letting the fighter take off its propeller and use jet power. During this period, even if there were technical drawings or materials sent by Zhang Shusheng through various channels, it was still difficult.

But the more later, the more talents are trained, the more thorough the technology, the larger the scale of the research team, the progress of the X-machine system engineering is getting faster and faster, the engine has developed to the second generation of Taihang 2 jet engine, the material has been changed from the original single metal material, to a cheaper, but more prominent alloy material, the structural strength of the aircraft is also increasing.

The length of the aircraft is 11.8 meters, the wingspan is 11.6 meters, the empty weight is 4154kg, the maximum level flight speed reaches 1280 kilometers, and the sound barrier has been broken, the combat radius is 590 kilometers, and the maximum range reaches nearly 1300 kilometers.

"Chairman of the committee, our X-machine has just experienced the test of breaking through the sound barrier last month, and the structural strength has withstood the test, and Comrade Xu Binggang, a special pilot, drove it to unexpectedly break through the sound barrier, found some problems, recorded some very critical data, and made a great contribution."

Hearing Han Zhenyang's explanation, Zhang Shusheng nodded, the surname of the X-machine prototype can indeed be regarded as advanced, although it does not appear too advanced, but at least it suppresses the F86 and MiG-15 in various data.

Originally, the Sabre fighter and the MiG-15 fighter in history, both have their own merits, in general, the Sabre is stronger, the MiG-15 climbs quickly, the firepower is fierce, and it has an advantage in instantaneous maneuverability, but it is difficult to maintain a high degree of maneuverability for a long time. Sabre fighters are strong in horizontal hovering combat power, have a long range, and the speed of the aircraft is also faster.

Now, on the whole, the X-machine, which has an improved aviation machine gun, two 37mm cannons and a rocket nest, has surpassed the mature jet fighters of the United States and the Soviet Union a few years later, and is much stronger than their prototypes a year or two later.

If it is encountered on the battlefield, the X-machine will have a considerable advantage, and when this advantage is combined with quantity, quality is a huge change.

The two were talking excitedly, accompanied by other researchers, and everyone was very happy to have the chairman of the committee come to personally test the results.

In the pilot's dormitory, Xu Binggang, a special pilot and captain of the X-machine test flight team, is holding a model of the X-machine, figuring out an aviation textbook in the dormitory, next to a small blackboard for pilots, he occasionally holds up the model of the plane to draw in the air, and occasionally uses the textbook to draw a trajectory line representing the flight of the plane on the blackboard.

"Captain, you're drawing a mock battle, aren't you?" Wang Xizhu, a member of the flight team, held a small mirror and a comb, shaved his short hair on the side, in the flight team, he is the most smelly and beautiful, from Zigong between Yibin and Chengdu, the economic conditions are good, the family has always been careful about him, as a result, just entered the university to sign up for pilots, and successfully passed, and quickly grew into a top-notch young ace pilot, don't look at his age, but he is a rare fighting ace, otherwise he would not be selected into the first batch of 10 jet fighter test flight team.

All of them will become ace instructors of jet fighters in the future, and in wartime, they may grow into world-class air super-aces.

"yes, what's the matter, which female soldier at the base did you fancy again? In the afternoon, it will be the first flight of the X machine, don't make any moths for me, maybe a high-ranking official will come to watch the first flight. Xu Binggang said without looking back while imagining the abstract air combat action.

"If you don't pick up girls, can't you maintain a chic and handsome appearance? We are pilots, so naturally we must show the momentum of the military elite, and we must not let the superior commanders look away. "For the X machine, Wang Xizhu is also extremely envious of the captain, the last few key surname test flights, are all captains, and these people are still his students, Wang Xizhu flew for the first time last week, and I feel much stronger than the propeller fighter.

"Drip ......"

When the whistle sounded for the emergency assembly, Xu Binggang and Wang Xizhu rushed out of the pilot's dormitory like frightened leopards, listening to the rhythm of the whistle, three short and two long, which was second only to the emergency assembly post at the actual combat level.

Soon, the pilot team was assembled, however, they found that the person standing in front of them was actually the military leader of Project X, Air Force Colonel Zhang Chaomin.

"I would like to announce to you the good news that in 10 minutes, Zhang Shusheng, the supreme spiritual leader of the Republic, the leader of the Baath Party, and the chairman of the Supreme Power Committee, will personally go to this airport to attend the first flight ceremony in the afternoon." Zhang Chaomin is a typical iron-faced officer, and today his face is even more iron-colored, "Now I will give you five minutes to prepare, and gather in five minutes, and no one is allowed to leave the dormitory without authorization and wait for the chairman." ”

What the? The chairperson is coming!! And it was ten minutes later.

As soon as this news was thrown out, it was like a fire lit in a boiling oil pot, and the pilots were all as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and their fighting spirit was high.

"The chairman said before he came, this time it is not only to look at the planes, but also to look at the scientists, look at us, and even more so look at you, the first jet fighter pilots of the republic. At ease! Stand, turn left, and walk in unison! ”

After giving the order, Zhang Chaomin couldn't help but smile when he looked at the group of pilots who walked back to the dormitory in unison, only he knew what a huge sacrifice these pilots, especially Comrade Xu Binggang, the earliest pilot, had made in the past year.

However, only 10 minutes later, after Zhang Chaomin met with the chairman of the NPC National Committee, he got very bad news.

"What? You said that Comrade Xu Binggang's father was critically ill?? ”

Zhang Chaomin trembled and took the report from the communications staff officer, a telegram that had just been sent from the armed forces department of the Yibin People's Army, and was forwarded by the air force staff to the Shangzhou airport.

It is a coincidence that Xu Binggang is a native of Yibin, but except for the early years when the Republic of China was liberated, he has been staying in Sichuan and participating in the finalized test flights of various models. At the critical moment when the development of the X-jet aircraft reached the critical moment of the test flight of the real aircraft, the higher departments of the Air Force thought of him again.

However, Xu Binggang has had a very difficult time over the years, not in the army, nor in life, not emotionally, but from worries about his family.

There is an older sister in the family, and he is the younger brother.

My mother is in good health, but my father has tuberculosis, which is the kind of tuberculosis that is often said by folks, coughing non-stop, vomiting blood, sick in bed all year round, and going to many hospitals, but not being cured. Fortunately, Xu Binggang's military salary is very high, and the salary of the special-grade pilots plus various subsidies is higher than that of the secretary of the county party committee in their county.

But this money, without exception, was spent on medical treatment.

Although the Republic has solved the problem of easy access to medical care, it is not yet completely free of charge, and only those whose families are particularly in difficulty can receive medical assistance. High-income families like Xu Binggang do not meet the requirements.

Moreover, what is even more troublesome is that the old man and the old lady are reluctant to leave the countryside, and in the end, Xu Binggang can only spend his own money and hire an aunt in the village to help take care of him, and take turns taking care of his parents with his eldest sister.

Later, the relevant departments of the Air Force received a report that the relevant departments had arranged a special rescue for him, but he refused, and then the leaders of the Air Force helped coordinate the hospital, and finally even went to the Southwest People's Hospital, but it was still impossible to cure it.

It's not that there is no medicine for treating tuberculosis on the market, but that the old man's tuberculosis is already in an advanced stage and has a tendency to further deteriorate, even a domestic tuberculosis drug "Lung Kangtai", which sells very well in the world, cannot be cured.

So, in the past two years, Xu Binggang has been concentrating on the test flight of the X machine, and on the other hand, he has to be distracted by his old father, and has been relying on his rich pilot income to support his family.

However, at such a critical moment, when the X plane was about to make its first flight three hours away, the news came that the father of the established pilot was critically ill, which made Zhang Chaomin feel at a loss.

Find someone to discuss, and the supreme person in charge here is him. After thinking about it, he had no choice but to go to Lieutenant General Fan Siran, the commander of the Air Force.

"Basically, this is the situation, Comrade Xu Binggang's situation is a little special, and the way it is now...... Commander Fan, look at how to deal with it. Xu Binggang can be regarded as an ace pilot in the whole army, and in his repeated test flights, he has encountered countless dangers of all kinds and even been injured several times; he is a special test pilot who has made a first-class meritorious service, and the whole country cannot find a better and more experienced test pilot than him, without him, the safety of the first flight cannot be guaranteed. Zhang Chaomin asked worriedly, if it is out of the selfless dedication of the soldiers, out of a lofty patriotic position, or if something happens to his father, he can help himself make a decision, and then mention it after the first flight has passed.

However, this is a major matter that has a bearing on others and Comrade Xu Binggang, and although he is a superior, he has no right to conceal it.

From the perspective of job requirements and personal emotions, he felt very hesitant.

Seeing Lieutenant General Fan Siran frowning, Zhang Chaomin added, "Over the years, the old man has asked Comrade Xu Binggang about his work, but in order to keep it secret, Xu Binggang has always said that he is serving in Yunnan. In order to avoid leaks and family affairs affecting the work of the army, his family, old parents and lovers did not know that he was serving dozens of miles away from home. ”

There is no doubt about the magnitude of the X-machine project, not to mention Xu Binggang, even Zhang Chaomin carefully concealed his family, his wife who was a teacher at home, and thought that Zhang Chaomin was serving in Qinghai.

Lieutenant General Fan Siran sighed: "It is said that it is difficult to achieve both loyalty and filial piety since ancient times, but we should not deal with such a matter hastily, so let's wait, first contact the relevant departments of the Air Force, and let the Municipal Armed Forces Department send the old man to the best hospital first, deploy the best doctor, and use the best medicine, I will first tell the chairman about this matter." ”

He knows very well that this is not a simple matter of kindness or not, if the first flight is postponed, it will affect the chairman of the committee, as well as the arrangement of the entire X-machine project, the matter can be big or small, change other dynasties, and even abroad, it is a trivial matter to be dismissed if he does not handle it well, and it is a big matter for others to be affected.

There is no trivial matter in the militaristic state, so let the chairman decide. It is better to take a risk to tell the chairman of the committee than to take a risk to conceal the situation or to make a decision on his own.

A few minutes later, when he was inspecting some of the instruments needed for the test flight accompanied by Han Zhenyang, Fan Siran walked up to Zhang Shusheng and reported the situation in a low voice, and explained that Xu Binggang was the only experienced jet fighter pilot, and only when he personally played the field could the risk be minimized. Because this is the first flight of the finalization, not an ordinary test flight, it will definitely not work if it is replaced by other ordinary pilots.

"Huh? The situation is very urgent, family affairs and state affairs, none of them are small, X-machine engineering is very important, but the pilot's father has only one, if you miss it, it will be regrettable for a lifetime. First of all, the preparations for the first flight were suspended, Comrade Xu Binggang was called, and another car was prepared. Zhang Shusheng asked some more about Xu Binggang's situation, and then decisively gave an order, he didn't have much opinion on this matter, human life is at stake, of course, it is not a trivial matter.

In later generations, he knew many similar things, but most of them ended with the result of a tragedy, what kind of soldier, after completing the mission, only to know that a loved one at home had died, or to perform some mission, and cut off the news from his family, this is not the tradition of the People's Army.

The People's Army is a force of iron discipline, but at the same time it is also a people's army, and formalism must yield to realism, and it is only right to make rational decisions without affecting the collective interests and the complete interests of the state as much as possible.

Three minutes later, Xu Binggang ran to Zhang Shusheng, and at the same time, Wang Xizhu and others were already starting to pack up a change of clothes for him.

"Comrade Xu Binggang, I have bad news for you. The Air Force has just received a telegram forwarded by the Yibin-Ministry of Armed Forces saying that your father is critically ill. ”

When Zhang Shusheng said this, Xu Binggang's eyes suddenly widened, his eyes were full of great shock and grief, his father has always been his most concerned relative, his biggest dream is to take a long vacation after the completion of the X-machine project, go home to accompany his father for a few days. And now, his father's critical illness has been personally revealed from the mouth of the chairman, which makes him feel great grief at the same time, but also feels a sense of mission whipping.

Whether to ask the chairman for leave, or stay here to complete the first flight.

As a son of man, of course he hoped to appear at his father's hospital bed immediately, but as a lieutenant colonel of the Air Force, he was sensible, especially standing in front of the chairman of the committee, seeing this supreme leader who had influenced the Chinese people around the world, his heart couldn't help but be complicated.

"I ...... The chairman ...... "Xu Binggang was extremely worried, but he never knew what to say, let alone dare to ask for leave, not that he didn't dare, but he didn't want to do it at all, and he didn't want to drop the chain at this time, but his emotions were too complicated, and he didn't cry."

The critical illness that comes out of the mouth of the chairman of the committee may really be the last side, perhaps, this side only has a time limit of two or three hours, and maybe, even if he goes back now, it will be too late...... Fan Siran sighed on the side and patted him on the shoulder, "Comrade Xu Binggang, if you have any ideas, just tell the chairman that the chairman often taught us in the southwest period that a man who dares to face life is a good man, and a soldier who dares to face difficulties is a good soldier." ”

"Chairman, I, I'm ......"

However, Xu Binggang still couldn't speak, even if it was any word, he had never encountered such a difficult moment in his life.

Zhang Shusheng waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to talk about it, he saw his sufferings in his eyes. He is not a high emperor, where can he not know the suffering of the people, and besides, who said that loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, the republic does not need the people to pay so cruelly.

"Comrade Xu Binggang, no matter what your father's condition is in the end, now, in my capacity as the chairman of the committee, I will give you two days off, suspend the X-machine project for two days, and order you to return to your father immediately, and don't forget the filial piety of being a son." Zhang Shusheng said solemnly, even Fan Siran was surprised, he rarely saw the chairman so serious.

"Thank you...... Yes, Chairman! Two lines of men's tears burst out in an instant, Xu Binggang only felt an unprecedented touch, ignited in his whole body, it was a kind of touching that penetrated into the depths of his soul, gratitude, worship...... "Men don't flick if they have tears, go." Looking at Xu Binggang, who didn't dare to wipe his tears, Zhang Shusheng smiled slightly, there was a word that was not said, even if there were tears, he had to stay in front of Xu's father's bed, that was where the man cried.

Xu Binggang almost saluted with Zhang Chaomin and Fan Siran at the same time with trembling hands, and then jumped into the jeep that drove over and rushed to the First People's Hospital of the city at full speed.

"Chairman ......" Fan Siran wanted to say something, but Zhang Shusheng waved his hand to stop it, "Everything is according to what I just said, I will go to inspect several other places in the next two days, and you will go to see Xu Binggang's father on behalf of me and the Air Force." Don't disturb the old man, but under the premise of secrecy, you must let the people of the Xu family know that it is not that he Xu Binggang is unfilial, on the contrary, he is a person of great loyalty and filial piety, he is a soldier who has made great contributions to the country, and his glory is enough to shine on his father. ”

Zhang Shusheng knew that if he hadn't come, perhaps, Xu Binggang's father would not have been able to see his son when he was really dying, even if this son was dozens of miles away, even if Fan Siran inspected it alone, it was estimated that he would not dare to open his mouth on such a major strategic project, but now, he has power.

This shows that he is a person who has the ability and power to change the fate of others, and moreover, he has to change this power into a system, and in the future, there may be several, dozens, or even hundreds of such Xu Binggang, and it is impossible for him to be present, but on the premise of not having a major impact on the collective interests or national interests, he encounters a similar unexpected situation, and makes a rational policy decision on the spot, and makes a policy decision based on people, which will have a far-reaching impact on the whole army, the whole party, and the whole country.

"Since you have met it, how can you let Father Xu die like this."

However, Zhang Shusheng pondered in his heart, and from the few words just now, he judged that Xu's father's condition was already a stubborn disease, and the so-called critical illness could really be that the condition was serious to a considerable extent. Based on his understanding of the level of domestic medicine, the current several tuberculosis drugs, even the third-generation lung Kangtai, which is the latest production of the Southwest Pharmaceutical Factory, are powerless.

Thinking of this, he called Fang Yi, his personal secretary, who accompanied him, "Xiao Fang, you take out a strong heart-saving injection from my medical reserve and go to the Municipal People's Hospital to inject Xu Binggang's father." ”

"Chairman, this ...... This is your special configuration, and according to the regulations, this must not be used. Fang Yi's face changed greatly, which made him very embarrassed, even if the chairman of the committee personally spoke, after all, this kind of powerful heart-saving injection was originally prepared for the chairman in case of an accident, even if a dying person could be brought back to life with an injection, this kind of powerful heart-saving injection, although he didn't know the origin, he knew that it was rare in the world.

Although the chairman of the committee has spoken, it is a matter of safety for the chairman, and what if something happens and there is no help.

"It's an order." Zhang Shusheng waved his hand.

"Yes!"

Fang Yi reluctantly agreed, although he also sympathized with Xu Binggang's father, but from the perspective of his work duties, he was reluctant, but thinking that it was the chairman's order, he relaxed. Immediately, he went to the Municipal People's Hospital, accompanied by two internal guards, together with a central security officer.

According to the regulations, even if Fang Yi is Zhang Shusheng's personal secretary, he cannot use this medicine privately, and he must use it under the supervision of the central guards. In addition to the preciousness of the drug, the most important thing is to ensure that the drug does not leak out.

When Xu Binggang came to Yibin City-First People-People-Hospital, Xu's father had already been sent to the emergency room, and the three-hour operation was not over, and the best doctors from the Municipal People's Hospital were rescuing him.

"Port C?"

"Dad!"

"Xiaogang, you, why are you here......"

When his wife, old mother and children saw Xu Binggang appear in front of them in a military uniform, they couldn't help but be stunned, why did he, who was far away in Yunnan, come back suddenly.

"Mom, Xiaoqin, I'll talk about other things later, how is Dad's situation?" Xu Binggang asked anxiously, and the two internal guards who accompanied him next to him stepped back slightly.

"Your father's condition is stable, this is your comrade-in-arms, come, let them all sit."

Mother Xu was a little surprised to see her son panting, followed by two expressionless soldiers.

The two guards saluted the old man, and then stood beside him again, not speaking.

Xu Binggang knows very well that according to the regulations, this is to protect his own internal guards, and at the same time, it is also to prevent any possible information leakage.

"Mom, these are my two comrades-in-arms, they are on a mission, they happen to be on the same road as me, and they have discipline on their backs, so you can leave them alone."

After Xu Binggang's family talked, they continued to wait, but the lights in the rescue room went out for a long time.

However, at this moment, several medical staff and several others came from a distance, and Xu's mother recognized that the person in front was not the director of the People's Hospital?

"Commander Fan!!"

Xu Binggang was taken aback, why did the commander come, he and the two internal guards next to him immediately saluted.

"Son, this, who is this?" Mother Xu was a little dumbfounded, the change in this matter was too sudden, her son who was far away in Yunnan suddenly came back, and another official came, looking at the momentum, the official seems to be very big, listen again, what? Commander?

What a big official is this, Mother Xu has no concept at all, and the little Qin and the child next to her are extremely surprised, Commander, this is a very, very high title, even the lowest-level commander is higher than his own position in Xu Binggang.

"Mom, Xiaoqin, Nannan, this is Commander Fan Siran Fan of the Air Force."

"Ah......" The three of them couldn't accept it for a while, Fan Siran, this is something I've seen on TV, although it's not the same, but if you look closely, it's a little similar.

Fan Siran took a step forward, held Xu's mother's hand, and said cordially, "Mrs. Peng, Mrs. Xu, I am Fan Siran, the commander of the Air Force, and I am Comrade Xu Binggang's superior. Today, I was instructed by my superiors to visit and comfort you. The work of the Air Force is very hard, and Xu Binggang is our super-excellent pilot, a national treasure of our Air Force, and his performance in the past few years has been extremely good. We are also very concerned about the diseases of the elderly, and we must do everything we can to treat them. ”

At this moment, the door to the emergency room suddenly opened, and a doctor walked out.

"Xiao Liu, how is the situation?"

"It's critical, dean, isn't it ......" The doctor just wanted to ask the family to sign the critical illness notice first, after all, just now the Xu family did not sign it, thinking that even if they could not be saved, they really did not want to accept this cruel fact.

"Comrade Xu Binggang, the leader who gave you a holiday just now is very concerned about you, this is the special medicine he sent to him, let's wait for the results of the doctors."

Fan Siran patted Xu Binggang on the shoulder and gave him an encouraging look, with his identity, he naturally knew that the medicine used by the chairman was naturally not an ordinary comparison, and more importantly, since the chairman of the committee had someone send it, it represented hope.

"Xie ......" Xu Binggang couldn't say anything, turned around, and saluted in the direction of Shangzhou Airport.

"Prepare to inject special drugs and increase rescue efforts!!"

…… Two days later, Xu Binggang saluted his father in a wheelchair, then hugged his old mother and wife, and hugged the child, and then resolutely got into the car and rushed back to Shangzhou Military Airport.

In the past two or three days, there have been too many things that have moved him, and it boils down to one sentence, which is the unspoken sentence before leaving, "Dad, Mom, Xiaoqin, Nannan, I Xu Binggang is a son, a husband, and a father, and I can be regarded as a man who stands up to the sky." However, today, I want to say that even if you die, you will have no regrets. This republic, the chairman of this great man on high above, deserves to be fought for and sacrificed by thousands of men like me. ”

The next morning, the empty Wanli, Shangzhou military airport.

"Number 001 ready, request to take off!!"

"001 can take off!"

On the runway of the Shangzhou Military Airport, surrounded by mountains, a silver fighter plane was parked at the end of the runway, and both sides of the runway were full of people, and Zhang Shusheng and other senior officers and experts were sitting on the rostrum.

It was the first flight that will go down in the annals of the Republic's Air Force.

The parked X-plane prototype began to sound a low rumbling sound, Zhang Shusheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and sounded the kind of sound he heard when he was at the airport in his previous life when he was on a civil aircraft, although the model is much smaller, but the powerful X-fighter still gives people a momentum before takeoff.

"Boom ......"

The plane taxied faster and faster, and the tail jet spewed fire, and then the X-plane, which had increased its horsepower, suddenly accelerated, and rushed across the 520-meter runway with the speed characteristic of a jet.

"Whew!"

After countless actions, Xu Binggang pulled the longitudinal rod as if he had divine help at the moment when the plane crossed the take-off line, and the head of the plane suddenly rose up, the front wheels left the ground, and then the rear wheels left the ground, and the X-jet fighter took off smoothly.

"Subsonic cruise flight!"

"Circling at a high angle!"

"Dive!"

…… When the command tower was heard from the earset, Xu Binggang carried out every tactical action of the plane step by step, occasionally climbing at a large elevation angle, occasionally diving at a large elevation angle, occasionally turning at a large angle, and occasionally maneuvering with a leapfrog...... A series of designed maneuvers, all performed over the airport.

If you just let the plane fly, it has been successful many times before, this first flight, the entire X-machine engineering team, is to let the X-machine under the pilot of the special test flight ace Xu Binggang, fly the best results, under the personal witness of the chairman, a hammer, into the addition of many difficult test subjects.

"Prepare for supersonic flight!"

After Xu Binggang piloted the plane into the distance and changed the direction of the nose, the conning tower finally gave the last order, and it was also the first real test supersonic flight, which had been achieved by chance in a simulated test flight before, but it was not very satisfying.

I saw the plane flying from a very long distance, and the telescope could only see the size of a small bird, and then, the plane suddenly accelerated, and everyone only felt that the plane was getting faster and faster, and then flew over the airport.

Subsequently, after two supersonic flight attempts were carried out at intervals, Xu Binggang successfully completed the task, and the plane completed all the test items under his control, and even the test of breaking through the supersonic speed was successful three times.

Although this is related to the improvement of the X machine, it is also related to Xu Binggang's ultra-high flight test technology.

…… At the celebration party, Zhang Shusheng proudly announced, "Now I announce that the new fighter will be named the Tianlong fighter. This is the pride of you, the pride of all researchers and staff, the pride of the Air Force, and the pride of the Republic. You have all seen its performance, the Celestial Dragon, the power of the mythical and legendary Celestial Dragon, will definitely make the enemies of the dragon's descendants pay the price of death.

The Chinese nation is a nation protected by heaven and a descendant of the dragon, although the real dragon does not appear, but we can develop our own Tianlong fighter, which can also protect China and defend China...... I hope that in the not-too-distant future, we will have more Tianlong fighters, and even more future Shenlong fighters will soar in the long sky and forever calm China! ”――
