Chapter 65: The Dignity of Germany
Instructor?
Yes, instructors.
Just as most graduate students in colleges and universities like to call their supervisors "boss", the University of Aeronautics and Astronautics also has such a habitual name. Many of the people who teach or research here really have technical ranks, but they don't wear military uniforms and are extremely low-key, and everyone generally calls them so casually.
After a short self-introduction, the class officially began.
Taking notes from time to time, Long Yun listened very carefully, and often used free discussion time to communicate with Liu Wei and others beside him. During the conversation, he knew that the girl he had just talked to was called Yang Ying, and seeing that she participated in discussions from time to time, she was obviously very interested in aviation competition.
Although in the parallel world that he traveled, Long Yun has been nicknamed "Butcher of Fighters" by his comrades-in-arms, and his flying skills can be said to be recognized as strong - nonsense, can he become a butcher if his skills are not good? But Long Yun's mind was still quite clear, and he hadn't touched the steering wheel or joystick of a real plane in reality. Of course, he thinks he can do it, but who knows what will happen when he actually takes to the skies?
The so-called art is not pressing, in the previous study career, there was never too much knowledge of Longyun.
In this way, after signing up, Long Yun's daily task is to swipe his card to listen to lectures and learn the basic theories of aviation that he has already mastered.
A few days passed, and he basically knew the other students in the class. In the whole class, whether it is a rich person who wants to take a license for recreation, or a enthusiast who wants to participate in aviation competition, he listened to the class very seriously, and there was no case of being late or even absent from class at all. After all, aviation piloting is not a child's house, once there is an accident, the consequences are very strict, it is not money can be settled, if you don't get it right, you have to squat in the shift room.
But for Long Yun, he was just reviewing his existing knowledge before training in the simulator, and although he was as serious as ever, there was nothing new.
Every evening when she returns home, Su Xue will naturally prepare a hearty meal, and sometimes go for a walk at night, taking advantage of the night to go out for a walk or shopping. There is no way, Su Xue basically can't go out calmly in broad daylight, even if she wears a hat and sunglasses, she will inevitably be recognized by those who care and those entertainment reporters.
Living such a relaxed and leisurely life every day is naturally quite comfortable. But to say a long stay away from the heat of battle?
That's impossible.
……
Coming to the parallel world again, shortly after falling asleep; Moving around the temporary station, Long Yun quickly learned the latest situation of the war from the battle briefing and the mouths of the people in the regiment.
More than ten days have passed since the stormy night of the war, and after an initial brief melee, the Warsaw Pact armored assault group has penetrated deep into the heart of the Federal Republic of Germany. Under the fierce offensive, NATO's ground forces were unable to resist, and Soviet troops in several areas had reached the German-French border and had small contacts with the reinforced French army.
Under the cover of the Warsaw Pact Air Force, the armored force that had been raising troops for thousands of days did not disappoint the Supreme Command, and although it suffered terrible losses, the original combat plan was basically realized.
In this way, Germany and Russia, two historical rivals, are now once again dueling.
Finale? Naturally, it is not asked.
The well-equipped but thin German Lion, despite Uncle Sam's best efforts, was still used by a polar bear with a long blood trough to make a big move, and several bear paws were directly and completely knocked over.
As the Soviet army moved deeper into the Federal Republic of Germany, the KGB organizations that were lurking in various places immediately began to operate, cooperating with the operations of the task forces that had entered the cities of the Federal Republic of Germany in advance, purging any suspicious elements working for the CIA, MI6, or the local vigilance bureau, and taking to the streets to maintain social order and clear the way for the subsequent movement of the large force.
Contrary to the expectations of the Americans, this process proceeded quite smoothly, and knowing that the remnants of the German defense forces were not engaged in organized resistance, the Federal Republic of Germany, the bridgehead and barracks of NATO, was handed away.
The reason for this may be that the military discipline of the Soviet troops stationed in Germany is much better than during World War II, or the Soviet troops consciously avoid contact with the people of the Federal Republic of Germany; But the most important reason is probably because of the lightning speed of the Warsaw Pact: the two sides have been fighting for less than half a month before the winner is decided, so naturally there will be no blood feud that must be avenged.
In the era of modern warfare, in which the competition for comprehensive national strength and the backing of nuclear weapons are the same as the GDR, the Federal Republic of Germany, like the Democratic Republic of Germany, is nothing more than a shield tied to the two giant chariots of NATO and the Warsaw Pact. The German people, who have long been tired of living with knives and guns, are actually well aware of this, so as long as there are no more warplanes roaring in the sky and no more war smoke on the land, whether the people in this land are Yankees or Russians, there is really no essential difference between them.
However, not all Germans were able to accept the harsh reality of the motherland's defeat to the Russians once again.
Northeast France, on the outskirts of Nancy.
A large open area that was originally intended for the construction of a factory was now occupied by a continuous stream of tents and various vehicles and machinery.
Since its withdrawal from the southern German airbase, which had been in ruins, the 71st Fighter Wing of the Federal Republic of Germany has been stationed at this hastily formed makeshift airfield.
In a rudimentary hangar covered with camouflage tarpaulins, fighter planes are ready to go, with black edged iron crosses on the wings and tail. Unlike the old American cargo parked in other makeshift airfields, these fighter fuselages are sharp, with conspicuous canards in front of the wide delta wings; The box-shaped air intake is located on the abdomen, giving it a very sleek overall look.
Yes, these fighters are the latest product of European multi-country cooperation, the guardian of the European skies with high hopes: Euro-Fighting-Aircraft, Eurofighter.
This new fighter aircraft, which has just been renamed EF2000, was jointly developed by the European powers of Britain, Germany, Spain and Italy, and is regarded as the latest hope for joint European air defense; Although the United States, a NATO ally, still relies on weapons and other systems, the rest of the system is produced and assembled in Europe.
The EF2000, which highlights its air combat capabilities, was designed with the Soviet MiG-29 and Su-27 as imaginary enemies, and its performance is quite good, and it was originally intended to equip the air forces of European countries at a rate of 20 to 30 aircraft per year, but now it can only join the war group when it has just entered mass production, to undertake the heavy task of blocking the threat from the east.
As the most elite fighter elite of the Federal Luftwaffe with the title of "Richthofen Wing", NATO European Command originally expected them to be able to fight against the overwhelming Soviet fighters when the war broke out; How do you know that these advanced but delicate fighters, before the start of the war, were all lying on their stomachs because of the strict bug of the fire control system, and were expelled to France by the rolling iron stream of the Warsaw Pact without firing a single shot.
Now living in a country that was once a defeated German enemy, enduring poor logistics and fighter support, a desperate lack of fuel and rest time, and finally having to guard against constant harassment and sabotage by the KGB.
Such an encounter was a great shame for the air knights of the Federal Republic of Germany.
Just outside the tent on the grass, Lieutenant Colonel Erich Rudolph, captain of the 1st Squadron of the 71st Wing, with a straight military uniform and shoes stained with dew; The pale blue eyes did not move for a long time, staring at the gray sky overhead.
At this moment, his mood is very complicated.
