Fourth-generation stealth fighters, large early warning aircraft, and especially a set of battlefield control systems with a fairly good technical level are naturally a relief for the revolutionary air force in a difficult situation.

As an Air Force pilot, although he has left his old unit and is almost a farewell to the front-line combat mission, he is playing a new journey of exerting his expertise on the new front and guiding SRAF pilots to master the J-21 "Swift Dragon" fighter.

In the seventeenth year of service, leaving the combat units of the Air Force is certainly not an easy choice to make.

The 40-year-old Air Force Major is actually a little sad about this decision, and although he has served in combat units for many years, although he has not been able to enter the assault regiment to which the 15th Air Force Division belongs, it is a great regret of those years, and in the peacetime when there is no war to fight, he can only find a feeling of fighting through guò exercises, but he really wants to say goodbye to his combat post and become an instructor stationed abroad, even if he can still fly the familiar "Swift Dragon" to soar into the sky, the meaning of this itself is no longer the same.

Singing and dancing to promote peace, preparing for war but not fighting, this is naturally a kind of happiness for the people of Limin, but for the soldiers who are waiting for the day, there is often a little bit of "heroes are useless" sighing feelings.

The bus was speeding all the way, and the major of the Air Force, who was shouldering a new task, was still thinking about his feelings as a soldier of the Republic in the car.

In the aftermath of the Middle East, as the sun dispelled the gloom, participants in the re-establishment of order such as the remote ones have moved into Syria with different intentions, often with very different identities and mentalities, all of them helping Damascus survive a difficult period of recovery from the civil war.

Meanwhile. When the trumpet of war is no longer sounded. The warriors who once fought fiercely in the sky also have to make their own life choices.

It's another sunny day with a cold breeze. The Jaramid Air Force Base in northern Saudi Arabia has completed its daily routine training, and the F-22 "Raptor" fighters parked neatly next to the runway as usual, the low-visibility painted fuselage skin, glowing with a light gray sheen in the sunlight, and the pilots with helmets in their hands walking together in groups of three or five, and their steps are extraordinarily relaxed.

The war is over, and there is no longer a need to take to the skies to face groups of enemies. The patrol under the sky is still the same, but there is no tense moment of brushing shoulders with death, and the completely relaxed hired pilots on the love xù talk casually, and from time to time reminisce about the decisive battle in the sky just a few days ago.

Looking back on the past, in that epic large-scale air battle, the amount of checks that fell into his pockets was large and small, but the young people who returned from a hundred battles almost did not care, but thought carefully about the thrilling flight of the "Birds of Prey" or "Snow Sculptures" over Deir Ezzor and the vicious battle with dozens of "ghosts"; As he spoke, the thoughts of those present became a little heavy at the mention of their colleagues who had unfortunately died in this war. However, beyond that, it is not the same. A pair of sharp eyes raised their gaze, and they looked at the vast blue sky for a long time.

The sun is shining, there is not a single cloud in sight, and the Middle East sky is always so clear in winter.

Fighters, pilots, and the combat career of flying high in the sky, compared with a tragic finale in the sky with blood, the mercenaries who returned safely felt a little melancholy in addition to rejoicing; Joining ALSA and fighting for the future and destiny of the Middle East, glory and mission are certainly one of the motivations, in addition to millions of fall bonuses, but to say what these skilled young people put on the battle jersey, I have to say, probably a kind of desire and longing for the sky battlefield.

If you want to fight, there will be sacrifices, the soul will break the blue sky and the old bed, which one is more unacceptable, for different people, there will naturally be different choices.

"Hey, Miyu, what are you going to eat tonight?"

After a routine training session, and walking out of the closed area of the airport with his comrades, two young pilots from the East waited for their girlfriends outside the convenience store while discussing the next place to dinner.

The battle was over, and there was a period of leisure, and while some of the ALSA's hired pilots continued their daily routines, the tension at Jaramid Air Force Base was almost gone; At present, it seems that the Liberal Party forces entrenched in Baghdad are still there, but they are well aware of the current affairs and have not made the slightest rash move, and the Arab League Defense Air Force, which has taken it as its duty to defend the order in the sky in the Middle East, seized the opportunity to rest and recuperate and shifted its attention to the direction of southern Iraq and Israel.

During the rest time, almost all of the pilots who were busy with the operation and applied for leave left Jaramid to go to Cairo, Athens or further afield for vacation and leisure, while the young people who still stayed at the base were basically reunited with their families, including Li Gejian and Gao Meiyu, although the two had already enjoyed this treatment before.

Leaving the airbase in the evening and heading to a restaurant on a nearby shopping street, the two young men, dressed in casual attire, devoured and devoured the opportunity to feast without the chatter of the army medical officer.

Compared with the man who eats and doesn't talk much, the two girls who talk and laugh next to him are much more lively.

Probably because the war has finally subsided, ALSA has no dangerous combat missions, whether it is Sara Lopez who stumbles in Chinese, or Liu Xinyu who smiles, the looks of the two little girls are very relaxed; While quite reserved in the delicate plate picking, on the other hand, on the endless intimate conversation, from the cold winter of Jaramide, to the duty-free shops in Port Suez, the conversation is simply endless, uninformed, may think that these are two trivial little women, in fact, Liu Xinyu usually does not talk much, now mainly to accompany the blue-eyed girl in front of him to practice Chinese.

Unconsciously, the meal had been almost eaten, seeing that the two ladies were still chattering on the sofa, taking out their mobile phones to see that it was still early, Li Gejian said hello to his partner, and the two put on their coats and walked up to the second floor of the restaurant, and sat down on the promenade facing the street to get some fresh air.

At six o'clock in the evening, the night has fallen, the thick chill is blocked by a windowed glass curtain wall, in this sparsely populated small city, almost dependent on the ALSA military base and gradually prospering, after dark, you can only see the bright lights of this street, not far away buildings are hidden in a gloomy confusion, from a distance, but not far away Jalamide Air Base somewhat complements each other.

Now that the war is over, there is no longer a need for night light control, and at the same time, there is no busy scene of hanging bombs and launching into the air, looking at the vast night scene outside the window, looking in the direction of the base through a shadow, it is Gao Meiyu who breaks the silence first:

"Ge Jian, our contract is until October this year."

“…… Kindness. ”

Hearing this, Li Gejian, who raised his eyebrows to his partner and held a toothpick on his mouth, nodded slightly, and after a while, he slowly shook his head, "That, it's okay, it's just some form." If the 'company' needs you and me to return to China, the contract is not difficult. - I said, Miu, you want to leave for your home, right? ”

“……”

didn't open his mouth to answer Li Gejian's question, but made his position clear with silence, Gao Meiyu's eyes were a little dim for a while, as if there was sand in her eyes, and then the corners of her mouth pursed, obviously insisting on her decision:

"Before I came to ALSA, I had planned to do so."

"Oh...... Oh, yes. ”

Seeing the expression on his partner's face, how many times he was born and died together, fighting happily in the vast sky, the two who had a deep tacit understanding didn't need many words, he could fully understand Gao Meiyu's current mood.

Looking back a few years ago, on the test ground of the "Suzaku" aviation team, I saw this guy with a calm nature and extraordinary skills for the first time, and I didn't know each other when I didn't know each other; It wasn't until he formed a partner to participate in the competition, and step by step he became the main force of the team, and then he was put into the "company" for some reasons...... A qiē's past memories are all in the young man's mind at this time, but at this moment, he is a little unsure of where Gao Meiyu's sky dream originated, whether it is a simple emotion of working hard for her lover, or a kind of ambition that longs for victory.

Flying a fighter plane and soaring into the sky, even if you have never put on a real military uniform, isn't it also a splendid practice of longing for the sky......

Think about it now, and then look at the future, Li Gejian instinctively wants to speak out against this important decision of his partner, but he also fully understands Gao Meiyu and even Liu Xinyu's thoughts, the Middle East where the war has come to an end, peace seems to be a foregone conclusion, but the threat faced by the Arab League still exists, and ALSA, which is fierce, may have to refuel again, hang up bombs, and fly into the sky to carry out its defense mission one day.

Conflict and war are originally a kind of existence that makes all participants involuntarily, and if you are tired of it, it may not be a wise choice to retreat.

Seeing that the young man in the chair had made up his mind and was well versed in his partner's temperament, Li Gejian didn't say anything more.

In just a few words of answering, he also remembered the "Vermilion Bird" battle report he had learned earlier, this East China regional powerhouse from Shanghai has won three consecutive victories in the semi-finals, and has entered the next national selection tournament.

Li Gejian knew that as long as they were willing to participate, "Suzaku" naturally hoped that this pair of strong partners would play in the national trials, even at this stage, the team's results would not only depend on the outcome of the confrontation, but as long as there were players who could play well in the trials and enter the final national second team, it would be of great benefit to the team's popularity and reputation.
