"Your Majesty, European countries also say that we actually use this aircraft that can be used as a military combat for civilian use, and even say that we are training pilots in order to take advantage of the opportunity to make money. They still use this aircraft as a military exclusive use, and do not treat it as a civilian thing. These foreigners still think that we can still use it to collect money, but only as an important tool for collecting money. Even, they are saying that we are fools, and it is simply strange that we should be treated so well by using this plane! However, this is really not suitable, such a high salary, is it too high? They already earn at least four times more than officers of the same rank, so wouldn't that displease the other branches? Liu Feng also said.

Wang Guorui heard Liu Feng's statement, in fact, he was very disdainful of foreigners for China's view of aircraft, and even thought that China was open to private use, which was actually a deliberate leak. However, Wang Guorui also has his own ideas, because it is difficult for this aircraft to be developed independently with China's own capabilities. It is actually very difficult to get this aircraft, and it is difficult to make progress at present. In fact, China's aircraft development is seriously lacking in talents, so it has to open up to the outside world and let everyone carry out "test flights".

Wang Guorui heard a sentence from later generations that the plane was not actually designed, but "tested". Without test flights again and again, it is impossible to know what shortcomings the aircraft has and what performance is not conducive to development. Even as a pilot, you are the one who actually uses the aircraft. A pilot is someone who uses an airplane himself, and even more so a person who wants to use it to fight. Only they will really understand the aircraft and understand what they need. If a designer doesn't even understand what the user's needs are and hurriedly designs, Zeyu will definitely not be able to.

In particular, the cost of pilot training is very high, and even later generations have said that the training of a pilot will almost cost them the same weight of their body weight as gold, which is not a joke. Although the planes of this era were not as difficult to select as the jets of later generations, they were definitely not an easy job. In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that the selection of pilots is looking for a needle in a haystack, and the reserve of pilots is a very important strategic resource. An airplane may be very easy to manufacture, from the assembly line to production, if it really enters the wartime production state, maybe an airplane can come out in less than a day or two.

However, the training of pilots often takes several years, and it is not considered the more than ten years of compulsory education that was carried out before. So such a reserve of pilots, that is to represent the potential of a country's air force. This is why the air forces of many countries would rather lose an aircraft than a pilot. Airplanes may be expensive, but they can be bought, and if you are willing to produce them, you can produce them in a few days. The cost of pilot training is extremely high, not only in terms of money but also in terms of time. Originally, the plane accident was tragic enough, and if a pilot was to be put on a pilot again for this plane that was destined to be destroyed, it would be really miserable.

Therefore, Wang Guorui knows very well that it is better to train pilots sooner rather than later, and only by training pilots as soon as possible and expanding the pilot team as soon as possible is the real focus.

"Liu Feng, do you think it's important to keep this plane secret? But I just don't see it that way, because since the plane has been made, this plane actually doesn't have much technical content. As long as this aircraft is manufactured, the technical principle is actually very simple. At that time, we were flying at night, and I am afraid that now the relevant pictures have also been sent to the top officials of various countries through various channels. So we don't think this is that dangerous. Because we actually have a very primitive plane, it's just a matter of concept. At present, our aircraft are still very backward, and if foreigners are willing to study it, then let them study it. In fact, for a long time to come, air battles will be a war of attrition, and whoever has more pilots will have an advantage! There are few pilots, and even if you can build an airplane, you won't be able to start it. So we don't really take this aircraft too seriously, we need to look at the training of pilots as soon as possible. We train a pilot at this time, and they will all be seeds in the future! Once we've cultivated a batch of seeds, the next step is to take root and flourish. Coupled with the fact that we have a large Chinese population, we take root and sprout faster. Now that we are one step ahead, when the reserve of pilots is a geometric multiplier, then we will not be afraid of fighting a war of attrition. ”

Wang Guorui's meaning is actually not to pay attention to this aircraft, but to pay attention to the pilot. Wang Guorui once heard that during the Second World War, after Japan and the United States went to war, at that time Japan and the United States went to war, and the strength of both sides in the air force was actually about the same, and even in some types of aircraft, Japan still had a slight advantage in science and technology.

However, even if Japan had an advantage in science and technology, it was defeated by the Americans in the end. Because Americans have a sufficient reserve of aviation talents, their aviation clubs and various aviation associations are very large in the United States, and the United States has a reserve of millions of people with pilot licenses. These people are all prospective pilots, maybe they have changed careers temporarily, as long as they go through some recovery training, and then they can be sent to the battlefield again. Even if a quarter of the millions of people with pilot licenses become the Air Force, that's enough for more than 200,000. With more than 200,000 air force pilots, it is completely possible to fight a war of attrition.

This Yankee later used pilots as infantry, but Japan could not consume them like this. The Japanese reserve of pilots was very small, and in the later period, they even used some kamikaze special forces to send those shoddy pilots into the sky. In the later period, Japan even only taught pilots the ability to go to the sky, but did not teach them the ability to land. The conscience of heaven and earth, the pilot's landing is the most technical test, and the landing is the most technical, much higher than bullying flight.

But the Japanese don't teach landing, isn't it just to train pilots as soon as possible, and then let them go to death? Therefore, Wang Guorui thinks that this Japanese attack method of using this kind of kamikaze suicide, in fact, this Wang Guorui also thinks that it is not all Japanese madness. Maybe it's one thing for the Japanese to be crazy, but the reason why they have this crazy idea is actually because they have an extreme shortage of pilots, and they hardly have enough time to train pilots. The war had reached this point, and the Japanese did not have enough time to train pilots, so they had to sacrifice with such shoddy pilots.

In fact, the Japanese do not pay attention to pilots, that is impossible. After a Japanese pilot was captured in China and educated, he even made a statement against aggression against China, which made Japan very annoyed. If it was an ordinary infantryman, he would definitely be shot, but that guy was just adjusted to the battlefield, and he was transferred to other wars, and he didn't even go to a military court. In this way, it can be imagined that Japan did not pay attention to the lives of pilots at all, but that there was simply not enough time for them to train at that time.

"It's not possible for us to have much development in the next few decades. Our aircraft may all develop at the same speed, and there will not be any leapfrog development. The gap between our aircraft flight and that of Westerners will not be too large, and there will be no serious generation difference. So what we're competing at this time is not the performance of the aircraft, but the number of pilots. If we had hundreds of thousands of pilots one day, wouldn't it be easy for us to bring the countries of Europe to death? What if we still have enough pilots when the time comes, but there are not many pilots who go to the country? Weapons are not omnipotent, and even advanced weapons have to be used. ”

"No one can use weapons, isn't that for nothing? So the pilot is the most important thing, at least for decades to come, more important than the lead of the aircraft itself. If the jet plane had not been invented, and there was not enough avionics system, there would have been no big gap, and the competition would have been just the number of pilots. ”

Liu Feng asked: "What is a jet aircraft and what avionics system?" ”

"Well, don't worry about it, this next aero club still has to go on. Even, then, we have to deal with the matter of these pilots. And the first batch of pilots must be strictly selected. The first pilots, but our seeds, are the seeds of our future officers in the Air Force. As for why this pilot has a high status and high income, if other branches of the military are willing, then they can also come to participate in the assessment, as long as they pass the assessment, we can also give them such a high salary! If you don't have this ability, then don't be crooked! Pilots in the army are one of the most important branches of the military, and at present they must be officers. If there is no status as an officer, then how can it be worthy of their efforts, and even the cost we have spent so much to cultivate? Moreover, the current first batch of pilots are all reserve talents of future Air Force commanders, so they must be strictly selected! ”

"I understand, our General Intelligence Agency will carefully review and investigate their ancestors for eighteen generations, and will definitely not let those suspicious people in!" Liu Feng said. (To be continued.) )
