Chapter 1030: Farewell comrades-in-arms
But now, after a long journey through time, he has also discovered the connection between the parallel world and reality, and he has developed a strong identification with the identity of Viktor Rezenov, and he has to care more about the one in the parallel world than ever.
After all, what happens in this world, at any point, will appear in reality in the form of "historical distortion", which in itself is enough to drive him to act, isn't it?
Just when he was thinking silently, he had some faint disagreement with this idea in his heart, and Long Yun completely subconsciously thought that he had traveled into this world so frequently, moving around as Viktor Rezenov, and experiencing the fierce battle in the sky on the edge of life and death again and again, and the motive that drove him to make this qiΔ was probably not as simple as "preventing the real world from being disturbed".
For a long time, he has been accustomed to acting as Victor and personally participating in the war, which seems to be because he has identified with this identity and is attached to this identity.
At first glance, a person's mind to accomplish the task of two identities may sound like a kind of schizophrenia.
However, as the car was speeding away, the young man's train of thought did not stop at this, he thought of Mikhail Simonov at the dining table, and tilted his head happily to look at the agent beside him:
"Aha, Valya, in fact, I still gained a lot from this trip, which is equivalent to getting two new fighters from the design bureau."
"Oh? -- Got a 'new fighter'? β
Seeing Victor's smile, he thought to himself that the fighters in the army were not all national property, and could they still be distributed to individuals. Valentina's mind spun around. I guessed that the number one ace should have seen some new model of fighter. "That's pretty good, but don't tell me about the specifics, I don't understand the advanced technology at all, except for secrecy."
"Look at what you said, hehe, I'm not going to bother you with a bunch of technical instructions. In this way, when you get to the army later, I'll take you to see the appearance. This should be a no-brainer. β
In response to Valentina's jokes, Long Yun smiled and nodded in response.
This time he came to Irkutsk and made a special trip to visit IAPO, speaking of which, his biggest gain from Long Yun was the two Su-27M2 fighters.
At the dinner table at noon that day, talking with Mikhail Simonov, Long Yun first did the Sukhoi Design Bureau a favor, not only reminding them to hurry up the design of the next generation of stealth carrier-based aircraft, but also proposed that he could "say a few good words for the design bureau in front of the top management when the time is right." This made Simonov very grateful.
And for Sergei Koneshev's M2 scheme, the two discussed it for a while. It is believed that the gradual improvement of the third-generation aircraft is of limited significance, and it is impossible to achieve the effect of rebirth in any case; To confront the West's next-generation fighters, this road is actually still impassable. However, for the M2 project, which is close to completion, Long Yun proposed an arrangement, since IAPO and KnAAPO cannot convert the production of Su-27M2, can they get rid of Koneshev to complete the test of the project and the envelope of the fighter, and then provide it to VVS for use as a secret weapon in the current war?
This arrangement, the so-called "provision to VVS", was in fact intended for the use of Viktor Rezenov himself, and Simonov was very interested in it and immediately promised to do a good job of coordination.
Su-27M2, as an in-depth improvement of the original model, regardless of the difficulty of manufacturing for the time being, the performance is indeed quite improved compared with the Su-27S/P and Su-27M; This kind of improvement is mainly reflected in the combat performance, which is actually a bit overkill in the general VVS fighter aviation regiment, but it is suitable for a sky killer like Victor.
Think about the upcoming M2 fighter, the direction of improvement is completely consistent with some of my own ideas in the real world, reducing the size of the fuselage, strengthening the structure and optimizing the aerodynamic design of the Su-27, compared with the F-15, which continues to add electronic equipment and expand multi-mission capabilities, the pursuit of the two is naturally very different, and the performance advantages and disadvantages between each other, especially the life-and-death struggle when meeting on a narrow road, have unconsciously undergone a reversal.
With the aerodynamic configuration of the central lifting body, side wing and engine suspension, although the fuselage structure is not conducive to the expansion of multi-purpose, the overall design, flight performance and maneuverability of the T-10S are originally better than the simple and crude F-15, but it is limited by the huge size of the fuselage and the relatively insufficient thrust of the engine, and can only compete with the old enemy.
But now, the deeply improved Su-27M2 is no longer what it used to be, and in the face of the bloated group of "eagles" in the sky, the over-the-horizon contest is not considered for the time being, but the victory or defeat in the visual air battle is no longer known.
Speaking of the so-called over-the-horizon, if the next test is smooth, the combination of N011 and R-77 may not be inferior to the American AN/APG-63 and AIM-120B!
After settling down in the car, Long Yun quickly met with the head of the air force command and figured out the overall arrangements for him and those who came first to the base through a conversation.
To put it simply, Viktor's trip to Irkutsk and his visit to the IAPO were actually incidental, and the next "intensive special training" was the focus of the Air Force and the KGB.
In the unknown air base, in the evening of the same day, with the Red Air Force pilots who arrived in advance, as the number one ace of the Red Empire, Viktor Rezenov was naturally warmly welcomed by everyone, and everyone present came to shake hands with great admiration, and then everyone sat back in their chairs together, and the classroom was quiet, listening to a major general from the Frunze Military Academy explain the day's military theory course.
After being away from the front line for such a long time, this was the first time he had seen many comrades-in-arms, and Long Yun found two old acquaintances from these energetic young men, in addition to Lieutenant Colonel Konstantin Kamenev of the 237th Fighter Aviation Regiment, and a young man who had been absent for a long time, Nikita Iskere from the 309th Front-line Fighter Regiment.
Sitting in a warm and dry classroom for the first time, with his hands on the table like a primary school student, and taking notes from time to time, Long Yun waited until a short break before getting up to say hello, he first said hello to Kamenev, who was calm by nature, and then beckoned the young man with an excited face to sit down next to him.
"You, hello, Victor - Comrade General! It's been a long time since I've seen you, but latelyγHow are you? β
Suddenly, he saw a god-like object of worship, and the round-faced stout young man was a little unspeakable, and he was indeed a little too excited now.
Seeing Iskeriel's appearance, Long Yun thought it was funny, and he patted the young man on the shoulder:
"Ah, it's only been a few months, and it's progressing so fast! It's a pity that I wasn't in Moscow the last time I was awarded, young man, and congratulations on your fellow recipients of the Gold Star Medal. β
In fact, it is impossible for him to have time to pay attention to so many people, and he is busy with wars and puzzles all day long, and now he knows that it is completely by virtue of his superpowers, Nikita Iskere, this young man has also won the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union" for his outstanding achievements, and he has already shot down more than ten enemy planes in the 309th regiment using MiG-29 and MiG-29M.
Originally, I saw Viktor Rezenov, and I was just ready to say hello with respect, but I didn't expect this super combat hero to pay so much attention to himself, and the young man who was not good at words actually blushed a little:
"Uh-hey, you know!
Actually, I've always taken you as an example to follow, but it's not bad, cough, it's too far. β
"Haha! Humility is a virtue, but there is no need to be rigid. I said Nikita, after being away for such a long time, are the comrades in the regiment okay, how is Commander Andropov? β
"It's good, the head of the regiment, he's good. In recent times, we have been fighting on the front lines in Western Europe, and our losses have been ...... It's not small. Nikolai Vasilevsky, Semyon Krakow, many comrades-in-arms died one after another, Ivan Kerensky was wounded and left the front...... Of course, there are also many new comrades-in-arms, and we have been working hard all the time. β
"Oh...... Is that so? β
Thinking about his own journey, it has been a long time since he left the 309th Regiment under the 18th Air Army, but he has never had the opportunity to run back to Western Europe to see his comrades-in-arms and old superiors.
War is such a thing, once it is released from the cage, it is really merciless to devour life......
In the short interval between classes, the two sat together to catch up on the past, Long Yun's depression did not last long, as a soldier, he knew that he would have to face this sooner or later, immersed in sentimentality, and could not redeem his deceased comrades; Thinking of this, he remembered the wingman Ivan Kerensky in the 309th regiment, this guy, who was out of the way on foot after two crashes, and now that he was injured and left the front-line troops, did he crash again?
Burying the sadness silently in his heart, he asked about Kerensky, and the haze in the young man's heart was swept away:
"Ah, yes, Comrade General; Ivan is a lucky guy, he has been boasting about how he followed you back in the day, but until the third crash, he only shot down an F/A-18, and he was injured a little when ejected, and now he seems to be doing some duty in the rear.
Oh, that's not right, Kerensky is also a good guy, or maybe lucky! (To be continued......)
