The national selection competition is imminent, and what "Chenlong" has to do now is nothing more than to introduce talents and fighters as much as possible.

Let's talk about the fighter for the game first, this problem is not difficult to solve at all, before the "Chenlong" spent a huge amount of money to purchase two J-10A "Raptor", but also because the boss has a lot of money, in fact, according to Long Yun's idea, the initial stage of the aviation competition team is generally rented fighters, and now, the qualifiers in all major regions of the country have ended, most of the teams have also been out, at this time to rent any kind of fighter can be, the price is relatively easy to negotiate.

In addition, cooperating with other teams and having fighters available by the way is also a solution channel, but Long Yun thought about the turmoil of Xu Ziqian's "Chenlong" shareholding last time, and felt that the strength of Shangguan Ling was most likely not easy to accept such an arrangement, so he would not consider this plan at the moment.

Excluding the purchase and signing of cooperation agreements, Long Yun casually opened the webpage and searched for the current fighter jet leasing market.

However, compared with the readily available fighters, there is a question that he needs to think clearly, that is, what type of model does the "Chenlong" plan to use to compete in the national selection competition, is it to have four J-10A "Raptors"?

"Chenlong" current fighter configuration, of course, is much better than the two J-7IIM leased from the "Starlight" when it was first formed, and the lineup of two J-10A is more than enough to compete in the qualifiers, after all, in the case of the vast majority of teams still using third-generation aircraft, the advantages and disadvantages of the fighters are not too obvious, and the main competition is the pilot's technology, awareness and courage, in this regard, "Chenlong" obviously has an incomparable advantage over others.

Qualifiers are one thing, though. It's time for the national tryouts. The shape shì is much more severe.

IFT's side events. Since it is aimed at popularizing sports and expanding influence, any team can sign up, and there is no restriction on the participating models - such as the two "Seven Masters" of "Chenlong", of course, generally speaking, most teams still use third-generation fighters, and the specific models are varied, even if models such as J-8II and MiG-25 are not suitable for competitive confrontation, they also appear from time to time, and the competition has become a lot of highlights.

But it goes to the national selection stage. Each team is strong and talented, and the grade of the participating models has also been improved, and almost all of the previous IFT trials are the improved singers of the third-generation aircraft, which is commonly known as 3+, 3++ and other three-and-a-half-generation models.

The so-called "three and a half generations", as the name suggests, are basically models that are improved and redesigned on the basis of the traditional third-generation fighters, and a number of subsystems are redesigned and strengthened by applying military technology in the new era, such as from Su-27S to Su-27BM, F-15C to F-15SG. J-10A to J-10B; In addition, there are also some models due to the late development age. Its own technical level is better than the average level of the third-generation aircraft, and it directly proclaims itself a third-generation and a half-generation fighter, such as the famous European Shuangfeng - EF2000 and "Rafale", and this position is basically recognized in the world.

The above three and a half generations of fighters are basically worthy of their names, and there are also some "three and a half generations" that belong to advertising themselves, typical like the Swedish JAS-39 "Griffin", which directly claims to be a fourth-generation fighter, of course, this kind of words can only deceive a child, and the buyer is not a fool, it will be so easy to be fooled and pay money.

Thinking about it this way, turning the page while thinking, Long Yun first looked at the situation of several other teams, and now the registered model has not yet been decided, and it can be changed at any time during the competition, but he did notice that these traditional strong teams, such as "Wangjing", "Suzaku" and other teams, used J-10A, F-14D and other third-generation fighters in the previous qualifiers, but there are more advanced models in the team's assets, obviously to preserve strength, or just feel unnecessary.

Now, since the national selection competition is going to be played, it is conceivable that every team will go all out, and for the "Chenlong", which has only two J-10A, the shape is indeed not optimistic.

In aviation competition, although the competition is about the skills of the players, the performance of the fighters is also very important.

Especially in the selection stage of IFT in various countries, considering the entry threshold, the rules do not require the level of the fighters of the two sides to correspond one-to-one, just like the "Chenlong" can use the second-generation aircraft to participate in the competition before, but it is necessary to accept the huge disadvantage in equipment.

It may be okay to do this in the group stage, but now that it's time for the qualifiers, shouldn't you rent two new planes to flesh out the team's strength?

Thinking of this, his fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard, Long Yun wrote down some ideas simply, his current general idea is to introduce more medium-sized fighters, comprehensively consider the situation of the "Chenlong" team members and pilots, etc., and look for a wide variety of third-generation, three-and-a-half-generation fighters, the most suitable for the "Chenlong" should be said to be the J-10B, which is improved on the basis of the J-10A and has greatly improved performance.

J-10B, a three-and-a-half-generation modification familiar to military fans, was previously equipped in batches in the PLA Air Force and Naval Aviation, and was soon replaced by the replacement J-21, these retired "Raptor" airframes are generally in good condition, purchased by many aviation teams, in addition to some exports, CAC (Chengdu_Airplane_Company, Chengdu Aviation Industry Corporation) production line has been running at low speed, so from the source of goods, it is very easy to rent J-10BIt is also more convenient to follow up the procurement of spare parts, maintenance and overhaul.

On the one hand, it is convenient to rent, and on the other hand, the combat effectiveness of the J-10B is also remarkable, and it is not outdated on the battlefield of the national selection competition.

From J-10A to J-10B, the 611 Institute in collaboration with Chengdu Aircraft Industry Corporation has made a lot of improvements, from a typical third-generation fighter design to the third and a half generations, for which advanced technological achievements such as DSI air intake and AESA radar are used on the J-10B, in addition to redesigning the fuselage structure and appearance, some fine-tuning has been carried out, and the improved J-10B fighter, in addition to the maximum level flight speed at high altitude is not as fast as the A type, the comprehensive combat capability has been greatly improved than the latter.

In addition, the J-10B developed based on the A-type aircraft, the flight performance and all subsystems of the whole aircraft are similar to the J-10A, and the engines are also WS-10C, and the logistical pressure on the "Chenlong" will not be too great, which is more suitable for the team members to quickly familiarize themselves with and master.

Based on these considerations, Long Yun basically finalized this matter, of course, as the captain, he still planned to make a decision after discussing with the team members, and then go to Manager Chen to explain the situation.

After all, although renting a fighter is affordable, the "Chenlong" who debuted not long ago does not have much cash on its books, and this matter has to be supported by the "Renchen" side, as for the eldest lady, Long Yun is not worried at all, since this boss paid for two "Raptors", the rent is even less of a problem for her.

The current "Chenlong", although it has been established for less than a year, but with the continuous progress of the fighter's achievements, the fame is getting louder and louder, advertising, sponsors and the development of the team's comprehensive business are gradually proceeding, since the prospects are so promising, for Shangguan Ling and her "Renchen", the "Chenlong" team is no longer an investment pit, but will have considerable long-term benefits, Long Yun has no embarrassment to squander money.

After considering the situation of the fighter, next, Long Yun logged in to the mailbox and looked at the information sent by Yang Ying in advance.

For an aviation team, fighters are of course very important, and they are also the most important part of the team's construction investment, in contrast, unlike other competitive fields, even the star players in the old team, the various incomes cannot be compared with the cost of purchasing fighters; But this is not to say that the players are of little significance to the team, on the contrary, if you want to achieve good results in the competition, it is useless to buy advanced fighters alone, and the human factor is the most important.

Regarding the recruitment of "Chenlong", as Liu Wei said before, since he has entered the national selection competition, there are naturally many people who submit resumes to the "Chenlong" mailbox.

Although there are many applicants, the situation is also a "mixed bag", it is really necessary to select a few strong reinforcements whose strength, will and team spirit are reliable, for only a few team members and a lack of manpower for the "Chenlong", it really takes extra effort to do it, so Long Yun's ideas coincide with Liu Wei and Bian Chao, and they all start with the team players who have dealt with them before, so that they can save some time, after all, for these candidates, there is probably no doubt about the strength, as long as it depends on whether the person is reliable.

Thinking of this, his finger clicked on the screen, and found a familiar name from a long list of items, Long Yun clicked in and looked at it for a while, his eyes stayed on the "phone" column of his resume, he took the mobile phone and hesitated for a moment, and dialed a number.

"Hello, hello?"

"Ah, Brother Zhou, do you have time to talk now? I am Long Yun of 'Chenlong'. ”

"Oh-oh! Captain Dragon, free and free,"

Suddenly received a call from Long Yun, the young man who went to "Chenlong" to submit his resume, but didn't have much hope, suddenly raised his voice, and his tone was a little nervous, "I'm free now, Captain Long, have you seen the resume I sent?" It's been a long time, hey, what do you think of me? ”

On the phone, two young people who had fought on the field found a common topic when they talked about aviation competition, but Long Yun called not to catch up, he chatted with Zhou Xiaodong for a few words, asked him about his current situation, and then bluntly talked about the recruitment of "Chenlong", and the young man who was a little too excited after hearing the news agreed that he would meet tomorrow at the aviation training center to participate in an interview.

After explaining the next arrangements in a few words, Long Yun hung up the phone, sat in front of the computer and continued to read the information, while thinking about the interview process after meeting Zhou Xiaodong. (To be continued......)
