Huang Ke knew Gao Zhihang, and in history, he shot down many Japanese planes, and finally spilled blood in the sky. Seeing such a patriot standing in front of him, he was naturally very happy in his heart. However, Huang Ke still had to pretend that he didn't know anything, otherwise he would pay too much attention to this ordinary flight instructor, and it would be a little abnormal.

Huang Ke shook hands with Gao Zhihang and said, "Instructor Gao, does your accent sound like you're from outside the Guan?" ”

Gao Zhihang snapped a salute, and then said a little shyly: "Report to the commander, I am from outside the Guan, and my accent is a little heavier." ”

"Okay, tell me in detail how you got this talent from the Northeast Army?" Huang Ke asked impromptuly.

Xu Shaozhou smiled and introduced: "He once served as an air force pilot in the Northeast Army, and later after the Northeast changed banners, the pilots of the Northeast Army Air Force and some aircraft were transferred to the central government. The Central Air Force has not yet been formed, and I have seen his flying skills, and at the moment the air force lacks instructors, so I dug him up. ”

After listening to Xu Shaozhou's words, Huang Ke nodded slightly, he patted Gao Zhihang's shoulder and said, "If you have any requirements, if I can meet them, I will definitely meet you." ”

Listening to Huang Ke's words, Gao Zhihang's face was embarrassed, he wanted to speak and stopped, all this was seen by Huang Ke, Huang Ke walked up to him and asked cordially: "Zhihang, if you have anything to say, just say it happily, don't be distracted, the soldiers should be neat." ”

Gao Zhihang, who was still a little hesitant, plucked up his courage and said, "Commander Huang, I want to transfer back to the Air Force, I don't want to be an instructor here." ”

The people who accompanied Huang Ke to inspect were a little surprised, and some even blamed in a low voice: "Gao Zhihang, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”

Although Xu Shaozhou didn't speak, his face was a little unbearable. In fact, he knew in his heart that Gao Zhihang wanted to return to the combat unit, and he had asked him many times before, saying that he didn't want to be an instructor at this Laoshzi Aviation School, although the salary here was much higher than that of pilots.

"Oh?" Huang Ke raised his eyebrows: "Let's talk about it, if you can convince me, maybe I will allow you to return to the air force." ”

Gao Zhihang didn't want to be in the limelight at this time, nor was he stunned, but he wanted to return to the Air Force too much, and he knew that if he missed this opportunity, it might be difficult to have a chance again.

"Commander Huang, my move is not aimed at you personally, on the contrary, I have great respect for you personally. It's just that I want to go back to the combat unit to guard the airspace, and not to teach a bunch of ignorant kids to fly planes here. ”

Huang Ke nodded: "The blood is still there, congratulations; But you're wrong, and I'll tell you the answer later. After saying that, Huang Ke continued to start the review, leaving Gao Zhihang, who was at a loss, standing there.

After reviewing the honor guard, according to the original arrangement, Huang Ke should have gone to lunch, but Huang Ke couldn't eat anything, he told Xu Shaozhou that the lunch break was canceled, and arranged for him to make a speech to the cadets of the aviation school.

In the aviation team, Huang Ke's reputation is quite high, not only because the aviation team was run by him, but also because the new equipment and various treatments in the aviation team are all done by Huang Ke.

The air force is still nominally a civilian aviation organization, and the people who come from various units can be regarded as secondments, and even the flight team like Fu Guoqiang has changed its guard in the name of civilian aviation.

Although it is a semi-civilian institution, the aviation team gives a good salary in terms of the treatment of instructors and cadets. In addition to this, equipping the air force is also second to none. They were also the first to be equipped with the new "Lightning" fighter from the Mawei Factory, and this fighter with one of the most advanced performance in the world was opened to teachers and students, which really made many people excited.

But some people who aspire to join the army are skeptical, they are worried about their identity, although they fly fighter jets, what do they really belong to? Military or ordinary students?

Gao Zhihang's words are very representative, but considering political reasons, Huang Ke can't tell them now that they are the future Air Force, so Huang Ke decided to educate them in a different way.

More than 1,000 aviation schools gathered in the auditorium, including instructors, cadets, ground staff, and staff from various departments of the school, even including logistics cooks and sweeping aunts.

Looking at the trainees in the audience, who were all around 20 years old, Huang Ke sighed with emotion that these energetic young people are the hope of the future of the Chinese Air Force and the hope of the country.

Huang Ke cleared his throat, walked to the stage with empty hands and addressed to the students: "Students, comrades, I finally met you here today, you are all so young, like the sun at seven or eight o'clock in the morning, in the future, this country will be controlled by you, and at the same time, this country will also be built and defended by you." ”

As soon as Huang Ke's words came out, everyone pricked up their ears, at first, Huang Ke still relied on the microphone to speak, but he thought that the microphone could not be moved, so he simply walked off the stage and shouted only by his voice. The auditorium was silent, and Huang Ke's slightly hoarse voice echoed in the auditorium.

"When I see you, I seem to see myself many years ago, when our country was still in the period of Beiyang warlords, the country was withering, and the people were struggling to survive. I vividly remember that when I was in Guangzhou, when I was summarizing the military strength of the various warlords to the former Prime Minister Mr. Sun Yat-sen, I found that there were nearly ten different kinds of armies on Chinese soil, some imitating Germany, some imitating Britain, and some imitating Japan...... In short, there are as many great powers in this world as there are Chinese armies. I was thinking, when are we going to ask foreigners to build an army like us? ”

"Some people will say, that can't be helped, our country is backward, and we have to learn if we are backward, so in military affairs we study everywhere. But why are we lagging behind? Haven't we ever been strong? In the Ming Dynasty, there was a sentence written in a book of weapons, "The Chinese people are most feared by the people, and the firearms are also"; but just a few hundred years later, our country forced these barbarians, who were once afraid of our firearms, to open our country with firearms, shouldn't this be a shame? ”

There was a sound of needles falling in the auditorium, and more than a thousand pairs of eyes were staring at Huang Ke tightly, they were all hot-blooded young people, and now their idols came to talk about the policy of serving the country, how could they not be inspired by him?

"Meng Ziyun, shame and courage. When firearms were first introduced, we failed to grasp them, but now that the age of aviation has arrived, do we still want to miss it? ”

"Today's battlefield has developed from a single ground in the past to a three-dimensional battlefield, and whoever seizes aviation will seize the initiative on the battlefield. At the same time, in terms of the national economy and people's livelihood, we have seized the rapid right of economic development, yes, we are not the air force now, but you are the seeds of China's future aviation, and a strong air force in the future will be formed by you, so the burden on your shoulders is very heavy, because once you succeed, the rejuvenation of China will be just around the corner. ”

Everyone was excited by Huang Ke's words, although they sat honestly in their positions, their hearts began to surging with Huang Ke's words, Gao Zhihang understood that although they were not wearing military uniforms, they already belonged to the sequence of the Chinese Air Force.

Seeing that the effect was almost over, Huang Ke raised his arms and shouted: "China is strong!" Comrades, are you confident? ”

Thousands of students in the auditorium spontaneously stood up, and they shouted one after another, "Develop aviation, strengthen China!" Both the cadets and instructors of the aviation school were enthusiastic, and the shouts echoed in the courtyard for a long time, and they could not be calm.

After finishing his speech, Huang Ke returned to the office of the aviation school to discuss with Xu Shaozhou and others the next construction plan of the aviation team. Xu Shaozhou also had a headache about the identity of this air team, and he said that he always felt that it was nondescript to do so.

Huang Ke reprimanded him, saying that children think like this, and you think like this, and the establishment of an air force is a side-kick, which can not only confuse the enemy, but also block the mouths of some people in Wuhan, and at the same time develop military strength. What's so hard about changing military uniforms? When the time comes, it's okay to follow the level.

Xu Shaozhou's words made Xu Shaozhou speechless, Huang Ke knocked on the table and said: "This year, we will continue to screen outstanding flight cadets from the army, and we can consider building aviation schools in the mainland." At the same time, by the end of the year, more than 100 planes will be delivered in batches at the Mawei Factory, and it is necessary to form a combat strength as soon as possible, and strive to have more than 800 fighters to be ready for combat and more than 3,000 pilots to reserve personnel by next year. ”

As soon as Huang Ke said this, everyone present was a little surprised. Xu Shaozhou said with some embarrassment: "Commander, such a task is too heavy, our aviation team now has only about 300 training planes, and there are only more than 1,000 personnel, which is ......."

Before Xu Shaozhou finished speaking, Huang Ke knocked on the table and said, "Is there more than 800?" In addition to the Northeast Army, only this air force has a little air force in our country, but how many fighters and reserve personnel does Japan have? How many times the size of Japan is our country? ”

"War is imminent, do you want me to show you the recent movements of the Japanese army and the Soviet Red Army? Do you still think I'm asking too much after reading it? Where did you Xu Shaozhou have the courage to lead troops to fight Shanghai? Why do you cringe when you do something now? ”

Huang Ke, who is rarely angry, was furious, and he slapped the table loudly, what made him angry was that these officers who were once so enthusiastic when they were in the Northern Expedition were now so bureaucratic that even officers like Xu Shaozhou began to prevaricate.

However, Xu Shaozhou was not what Huang Ke thought, although the officialdom made him a little tactful, but his enthusiasm for the revolution was still there.

"Commander, don't worry, I will definitely complete it before the end of the year and guarantee the construction of a strong air force." Xu Shaozhou pulled the lapel national uniform on his body, and stood up like a soldier.

Huang Ke nodded: "Okay!" I will come back at the end of the year, and if you complete this task, I will announce that you will be incorporated into active service, and I have thought of a name, which will be called the Chinese National Defense Air Force. ”
