On the George Washington, David Greek knew that it was a Chinese carrier-based aircraft, and after the other party did not carry weapons, he was somewhat relieved, after all, it was impossible for a plane without weapons to come over for a sneak attack, but he had no intention of letting the other party fly over his head like this, so he immediately arranged for the other two planes to take off and must drive the other party back.

At the same time, Zhou Ling also turned off the afterburner, although he has been accelerating directly to the opponent's aircraft carrier to be able to get the maximum range of approach, but the afterburner is an oil tiger, how much oil is not enough for it to burn, just now such a fierce flight, directly burned nearly one-third of the fuel, in order to be able to return safely, Zhou Ling can only be forced to turn off the afterburner, and at the end it is a pity to smack twice, and said on the radio: "It's a pity, the fuel is not enough, otherwise you can fly closer." ”

How close is closer? In the flight just now, Zhou Ling's kid actually flew directly to a place 310 kilometers away from the aircraft carrier George Washington, and the two F18s who were responsible for intercepting him were still chasing after Zhou Ling more than 70 kilometers behind his buttocks.

Shameless, on the Jiangsu ship, a group of pilots who had been listening for a long time collectively rolled their eyes, Zhou Ling first directly used language to make it clear that he had no weapons and did not have the possibility of attacking, and his relaxed way of speaking directly disturbed the judgment of the American pilots, and then used the performance of the aircraft to directly throw the other party away, and directly shortened the distance to a distance of 310 kilometers, which is estimated to be able to see the frigate of the aircraft carrier.

In fact, it is true, Zhou Ling has already found a destroyer on the surface on his radar, and after turning off the afterburner, the other party's two F18s have also caught up, just 2 kilometers behind Zhou Ling. One of them accelerated to the left side of Zhou Ling, and when it approached a distance of about 50 meters, Zhou Ling looked at the other party, and saw a pilot gesturing towards him, and at the same time, the other party's voice was also heard on the radio: "Attention to the Chinese carrier-based aircraft, you must immediately change course, your front is our aircraft carrier fleet, if you get too close, you will suffer a defensive attack from our side, please immediately change course and leave." ”

"Understood." Zhou Ling replied that he understood, and the F18 pilot was relieved, so Zhou Ling gave a thumbs up to the other party, and saw that the F18 pilot who was flying with him was inexplicable, and before he could figure out what was going on, Zhou Ling suddenly said: "Brother, I still need to practice aerial fighting skills today, and I just lack an opponent, do you want us to have a hand?" ”

This is a provocation! The pilot of the F18 finally understood what the Chinese carrier-based aircraft wanted to do, and suddenly there was a burst of fire, didn't he want to provoke, come on, I'm afraid you won't succeed? Annoyed and angry, the F18 captain immediately asked his wingman to irradiate Zhou Ling with fire control radar.

Zhou Ling is not ambiguous, the moment the warning radar sounds, he began to slow down to do maneuver to avoid, because the distance between each other is very close, and he broke away from the attack envelope of F18 at once, and then the two sides began to entangle, but after all, two fists are hard to beat four hands, not to mention two more fists flew to help the fist, although Zhou Ling still consciously led the entangled airspace to the direction of the aircraft carrier, but it was still 270 kilometers away from the aircraft carrier George Washington when the other party successfully locked it, and could only turn around and return, so the first record came out, 270 km.

Successfully returned to the Jiangsu ship, Zhou Ling originally wanted to stink, but he didn't expect to be used by everyone as an excuse that there was no comparison jù, and collectively ignored Zhou Ling's achievements, which made Zhou Ling depressed.

Gritting his teeth, he poured down a glass of water to replenish the water lost during the previous aerial grappling, and Zhou Ling asked Xia Yu: "What do you think will happen to my results in the end?" ”

Xia Yu thought for a while and said: "You are a clear surprise flight today, the US aircraft carrier has almost no defense, so you have a distance of 270 kilometers, according to my estimate, tomorrow's second provocation, as long as it is handled, it is most likely to approach or even surpass you, and then the Americans will realize that this is not an isolated incident, but that we are provoking them, and it is estimated that it will not be so easy to deal with at that time." ”

"Hehe, I'll just say, the first one to fly will definitely take advantage." Zhou Ling said with a smile: "I just thought that if the Americans expanded the warning range, it would not be easy for the planes behind to approach, so I strongly asked to be the first to carry out the mission." ”

Zhou Ling's triumphant words were listened to by Sun Fei on the side, Sun Fei rolled his eyes directly, spit out a sentence of "shameless", and then said what Zhou Ling said loudly, causing other pilots to complain.

"Damn, Lao Zhou, you are so shameless." Li Chenzhong, who was on the side, looked at Zhou Ling with contempt and said, "Everyone is competing fairly, you actually came to such a trick, it is really shameless." ”

When Zhou Ling heard this, he shouted: "Hey, you can't say that, right?" This is a tactical idea, not some shameless trick. You didn't expect that it was your loss, if you lost in the end, it was also my tactical choice that was better than yours, can you still say that I caused you to lose? ”

As soon as Zhou Ling's words came out, it immediately caused an uproar, all the pilots, you are shameless, he complained about Zhou Ling one after another, Li Chenzhong even shouted: "What do you mean that we lost in the end, are you sure that you have won?" ”

"That's for sure." Xia Yu said just now that if the US aircraft carrier raises the alert level, it is basically impossible for the later aircraft to surpass him, Zhou Ling was very convinced of Xia Yu's words, so he smiled with a villainous smile: "I will definitely win you, or bet, if you lose, please ask the brothers of the whole ship to have a bottle of drink!" ”

The whole ship? When everyone heard this, they were all dumbfounded, didn't this thing say the wrong thing? The officers and men of the entire Jiangsu ship are all added up, that is more than 3,000 people, and this bottle of drink per person is calculated as three yuan, which is more than 10,000 yuan, which is not a small amount for fighter pilots, that is almost three months' salary.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Zhou Ling shouted triumphantly: "What's wrong? Don't have confidence, right? Don't dare to bet? ”

"Damn!" Li Chenzhong on the side suddenly roared, startling Zhou Ling, and then heard Li Chenzhong shout: "Bet on it, I really don't believe you will win." If you lose, please be afraid of the whole ship, isn't it more than 300 yuan per person? Bet! ”

When the others heard it, yes, the whole ship was invited to lose, that is to say, only one could win, and the rest of the other pilots all shared, and each person was only more than 300 yuan, which is not a lot, and it is acceptable. Thinking about it like this, the atmosphere suddenly became warm, and the good provocative action was bet on by this group of lawless pilots.

The matter of the bet reached Zhou Qiming and Mu Shaoqing, and when the two got the news, they were stunned at first, and their first reaction was that these pilots seemed to have bet too much recently, which was not good, but then they realized that this might be a bet deliberately provoked by Xia Yu, and the purpose should be to divert the negative feelings of officers and soldiers, which can effectively improve the morale of officers and soldiers. Therefore, after discussing for a while, the two planned to maintain the four no's principle of not supporting, not opposing, not participating, and not interfering, and did not make any comments on this bet.

However, Mu Shaoqing quietly pulled Xia Yu aside, hoping that Xia Yu would be able to control this kind of behavior of betting at every turn in the future, after all, this is really not a good situation. Xia Yu couldn't cry or laugh, this was none of his business at all, it was completely Zhou Ling's spontaneous behavior, but Mu Shaoqing didn't plan to listen to Xia Yu's explanation, and left directly after speaking.

After the news of this bet spread, Xia Yu's provocative plan also spread throughout the Jiangsu ship, knowing that his carrier-based aircraft would provoke the American aircraft carrier, even if it couldn't really open fire and attack, but the officers and soldiers were also happy, when did they provoke the Americans on their side?

What's more, in the end, someone invited a drink, that cool, for a while, the originally dull Jiangsu ship actually showed a strange positive attitude, the officers and soldiers worked hard, and the conversation and laughter began to increase, and these are exactly what Zhou Qiming desperately wants to see.
