"Nathan, you're more wise than we can imagine." Another technician said that this person came to the Skunk Works, and that he knew something about the Mach 6 reconnaissance plane the last time Nathan mentioned it, so he admired Nathan as well.

"So, when it's assembled, I'm going to make the first test flight." Nathan said, "No one can rob me. ”

Don't you say I'm wise? Then give me this chance! Nathan's request embarrassed some of the people present.

Test flight of the MiG-25 of the Soviets can be said to be one of the things in the annals of manned history, who doesn't want their name to go up? Each aviation group sent its best test pilots over to study it together, and there were also pilots from Blackbird, all waiting.

But now, a guy who wants to give it to the Navy?

"The first test flight is very risky, and if there is something wrong in the assembly, maybe it will crash." An engineer said.

"So, you guys, you guys are too selfish, you should have flown first, and then disassemble the aircraft after getting a thorough understanding of the performance, but now you have to disassemble it first." Nathan, an ordinary pilot, criticized them and was unceremonious: "Now, if something happens for the first time, the responsibility is yours!" ”

Nathan pointed at their heads one by one, making them look ugly, and then Nathan continued, "Of course, if I am the first to fly, I can take all the responsibility. ”

Or to fly first!

Everyone was embarrassed, and no one answered Nathan's words, but at this moment, a ground crew came in: "Major Nathan, Major Graham, the base commander is looking for you." ”

Base Commander? Nathan's face was suddenly happy, it seems that the Air Force is also moving quickly!

Since he came here, Nathan has never met the base commander, after all, Nathan is only a small naval major, and it is not the turn of the base commander to meet him, otherwise, wouldn't he lower his status?

In particular, this Nathan, who has no respect for the Air Force in peacetime.

So, the base commander didn't pay attention to Nathan and Emily at all.

But today, when Captain Blackbird reported Nathan's plan, the base commander finally decided to meet Nathan, a naval pilot who was not afraid of heaven and earth.

"Report."

"Report."

After shouting the report, the two walked into the commander's office.

Air Force Major General Monard, standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, from which the entire runway can be seen clearly.

Every night, he would be here, watching the blackbirds take off until they finally landed, and only when the last blackbird returned to the base safely, he would leave his office with peace of mind, but now, his worst fear, appeared.

One of your own blackbirds will never come back.

What to do? In the past, the Soviets had been protesting, but they had no choice but to watch their own continuous reconnaissance, but now, their own reconnaissance planes were shot down by the Soviets.

According to the usual practice, the next step is to talk about diplomacy, saying that it is a miscarriage, protesting to the Soviets, saying that the Soviets are deliberately invading, and so on, and finally it is over.

This is a normal process, and after this incident, the Blackbird fleet will evaluate it again to see if it can continue with the reconnaissance mission.

However, Nathan proposed a solution that no one had thought of, fight back and take revenge!

I spy on you, that's your honor, if you dare to attack me, then I'll let you die without a place to be buried!

I have to say that Nathan's ruthlessness is now lacking in the American army, and General Monard likes it very much.

Now, Nathan and Graham walked in, and General Monard slowly turned his body: "Nathan, before you come, I am ready to meet your challenge and give you everything you need at any time. ”

Challenging this sentence is very easy to understand, at the beginning in Alaska, the so-called military exchange students were to challenge, and the last half of the sentence reflects his wisdom.

Nathan wants to fly the blackbird, yes, let you fly, the Air Force is generous, and will not target you everywhere because you and the Air Force have dirty, it is gold, and it will shine everywhere.

And now, General Monard said this, which touched Nathan: "Thank you, General, I have been flying very happily during this time. ”

"Can you tell us about your plans for today? What is the success rate? General Monard asked.

Success? Nathan shook his head: "General, this is what only laymen will say, before any action, put the strength of both sides out, and then calculate, to see the success rate, in fact, when you really enter the battlefield, everything will change rapidly, so, I don't dare to give you a packing ticket, I can only say that I will do my best." ”

Nathan's plan was tempting, and before Nathan came, General Monard had already commented with others that if the timing was right, the success rate was high, the problem was that no matter how high the success rate was, there would always be danger.

Before, they flew, it was 100 percent safe, at that altitude and at that speed, nothing could intercept them. Missiles are out of the question.

However, the Soviets used machine guns.

"Tell me, young man, why you want to go so much, it's our business." General Monard asked almost the same question.

The blackbird fell, that's the Air Force's business, Nathan just came to be a guest, and he left when he was done, now, there's no need for Nathan to be the protagonist, isn't there anyone in the Air Force?

"General, I was in the Far East all the way before I came here." Nathan said: "Although I don't know the specific name of the other party, but I have been with the MiG-25 pilot, an undying enemy, this time, I just want to kill him with my own hands, if I have to say why, it may be a fateful duel, it is God's arrangement." ”

It was fateful that he could come here, and he must have faced off more than once with that Andre, and now, Nathan can't wait.

"Nathan, this reason of yours is very special, this is a fateful duel?" General Monard said: "Our mechanic is changing the plane according to your proposal, it will be changed in about two hours, I am worried about the final selection of the mission, many pilots wish they could fly this trip, but now, your reason has moved me, I will make you the first person to attack." ”

"Yes, General." Nathan's mood was relaxed at this time, as if it was all going according to the flow.

Andrey, let me finish you!

It's a pity that there are no laser weapons in this era, otherwise, the effect would be much better.
