The 2020 IFT, located in China in the Eastern Alliance region, has almost the same format as before, with 10 teams competing in the national selection tournament also coming from all over the world, and the teams will be determined through the qualifiers in each region of the country.

However, compared with the previous lineups, objectively speaking, the difficulty of this IFT National Selection Competition is slightly lower, due to the continuous development of aviation competition, the organizing committee and related institutions revised the articles of association in 2018, the latest competition organization is more complex, can be seen as a compromise version of comprehensive consideration of various factors.

The situation of the regional qualifiers is not to be discussed, when it comes to the national selection stage, according to the selection process of the previous IFT, the ten participating teams in the Chinese division are from the Northeast, North China, East China, South China, Northwest and Southwest six regions, the first and second places in the regional qualifiers have the opportunity to enter the selection competition, the specific quota allocation is basically based on the population of each region and the number of aviation sports registration teams, the first four regions each have two places, and the last two regions share the remaining two places.

Such an organization is efficient and fair, but in recent years, the domestic form has quietly changed, and the corresponding IFT selection process has to change accordingly.

China, on its way to rejuvenation, underwent a major change in the second decade of the 21st century, through meticulous behind-the-scenes operations and symbolic front-office voting. The historical Outer Mongolia and the current "Outer Mongolia Autonomous Region" were recovered.

In the years that followed. The Taiwan region has been suffering from economic sluggishness and social turmoil for many years. The United States, the former backer, is in relative decline day by day, and after experiencing a political farce between the two parties on the island and the failure of efforts to revive the economy, the so-called "Republic of China," which is in domestic and foreign difficulties, has finally moved toward splitting, and a handful of military officers and politicians who are full of political ambitions but have no political acumen have taken control of the Legislative Yuan, and have officially announced to the outside world that they will change the "national name" and demand that the international community recognize Taiwan's "independence."

A farce was staged, and just 48 hours after the Taiwan side issued its statement, the People's Liberation Army (PLA), which had been prepared for a long time, began a special attack, and a small-scale targeted elimination operation suddenly broke out.

Thanks to years of intelligence and infiltration work. In the face of the mainland special operations commandos that fell from the sky, the Taiwan defenders, who were caught in a "struggle for reunification or independence" and were in chaos, made almost no effective resistance, and even many units were on the verge of battle; after a brief clashes, a cadre of military young Zhuang factions and political ruffians clamoring for "independence" surrendered to the law one after another, or fled in a hurry and fled to South America, and the Taiwan issue that had plagued China for decades was the Taiwan issue. It was in such a rather unexpected situation that it was resolved.

The collapse of Taiwan, of course, the Americans are very unhappy. However, after weighing the pros and cons, there is only acquiescence.

After the Russian Communist Party returned to power, the political circles of the United States, which were busy coping with internal and external difficulties, always wanted to contain the Eastern bloc and even launch a new round of the Cold War, however, the cruel international ecological reality made the Anglo-Saxons suddenly wake up, and it turned out that the biggest enemy of the "free world" was not Asia, which was bent on economic development and making a lot of money, let alone the red Russia, which had re-raised the red flag and lost its strength as it used to be, and faced the heavy pressure of Islamic extremism, terrorism, and excessive nationalism. The people of the United States who believed in God had to adopt a more pragmatic attitude and cooperate with China, which was once regarded as the greatest strategic rival, were also forced to accept the reality that the "achievements" of the Cold War collapsed overnight and the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe were re-socialized.

After all, whether it is capitalism or socialism, people who want to live well on the planet can still deal with each other, and it really doesn't matter what color the flag is compared to a group that shouts slogans and detonates bombs, or simply starts a "non-violent invasion" based on the birth rate.

Times have long since changed, threats are changing, and who is still clinging to the Cold War mentality?

The blue-faced and fanged Chinese, probably, perhaps, really have, but these guys will not shout "XXXXX" after all, rush into the newspaper office and shoot wildly, and have no interest in hijacking the airliner and plunging headlong into the Indian Ocean, although it is too rich and a little lost, but how to say that there is also a common language is not.

Because of this, the global geopolitical situation in the 21st century is unpredictable, and the changes in the small world will affect every corner of the world, even the IFT schedule.

After the recovery of Hong Kong and Macao at the end of the last century, and the new century took over Mongolia, which had a slim future, and Taiwan, which had been adrift for a long time and whose moral conduct was getting worse and worse, several enclaves in Greater China were finally reintegrated, and the country basically restored its territorial territory in the traditional sense, which was reflected in the regional demarcation of the IFT qualifiers and the national selection competition, and the restructuring of the competition schedule also took on a bit of political meaning.

After the 2018 schedule revision, the number of selection spots for the latest IFT is still 10, but the distribution is different.

Specifically, on the basis of the original six regions, some adjustments have been made to the division of major regions in the latest rules, the scope of the "Northeast Region" has been narrowed to the three northeastern provinces, and the "Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region" and "Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region" have been demarcated, and the number of places in the selection competition has also been reduced to one; The scope of the "South China Region" has also been reduced, with Hubei, Hunan and Jiangxi being demarcated, and the number of participants has also been reduced to one.

As for the other regions, "North China" has added Shandong and Ningxia, and "East China" has decreased Shandong, but added Hubei, Hunan and Jiangxi, and overall these two regions cover two more provinces.

After such a series of adjustments, the competition process of several regions has been improved a little, and the two newly set up competition regions are relatively better, the "Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region" and the "Outer Mongolia Autonomous Region" form a large region and have a quota for participation, and Taiwan, which has just returned to the motherland for a few years, will form a separate region and also have a quota for participation.

In addition, the Northwest Division, which was previously listed separately due to "special reasons", has not been approved to carry out aviation sports for historical reasons, and the previous IFT trials were led by the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, and a semi-official team was selected to participate in the competition, and the name of the team will be changed every time - for example, this one is "Korla", but everyone likes to call the team "Xinjiang Team", which is also relatively alternative on the field.

As a result, after the adjustment of the organizing committee, only seven of the ten teams in the new IFT National Selection Tournament are strong teams that have worked hard all the way in the traditional sense.

The other three local teams - Mongolia, Taiwan and Xinjiang, due to their own aviation competition development process, team base and talent reasons, the strength should be said to be inferior by three points, in the selection of other regions may be able to play some results, but at the national selection level, it should be said that the basic is "focus on participation", in fact, the hope of qualifying is almost zero, after all, only one team can win in the end.

Because of this arrangement, for "Chenlong", where Long Yun is the captain, the process of competing in the national selection competition is a little more difficult.

In addition to Ningxia, which has a general sense of zài, in this IFT schedule, the North China region, which is full of talents and strong teams, has also newly joined Shandong, a major aviation competition province, but fortunately, in the end, "Chenlong" is still out of the line, compared with previous years, the average strength of the nine opponents in the national selection competition is slightly inferior, although the traditional strong team with strong strength is still there, but the hope of emergence is a little greater than in previous years.

Among them, "Wangjing", which is also from North China, is also registered and played in Beijing, and it is also the only province and city in the country where two teams have been promoted, which will naturally attract the attention of more attention.

Seeing that the competition is approaching, in addition to organizing a cadre of team members to train every day, Long Yun is also paying attention to the schedule of the selection competition.

After the lottery procedure, the final schedule of a schedule, "Chenlong" the first opponent is from the southwest region of the "Hongyan", but also the home game, according to Yang Ying collected data analysis, this registered place in Chengdu, Sichuan, but took a Chongqing place name of the team's strength is decent, there is no fourth-generation aircraft in the participating aircraft, to win on such an opponent, it does not look too difficult.

After "Hongyan", the players of "Chenlong" will have an expedition to the northwest to challenge the "Korla" sitting in Urumqi, and this confrontation is basically counted as "must win" by Long Yun.

Although it is a bit of a light enemy, compared with the local strong teams that have fought hard to enter the national selection competition, the formation of the teams in the Northwest Region is not unserious, but limited by the barrenness of the geographical and aviation competition soil, both the technical level and the actual combat experience are bound to be lacking, of course, in comparison, the strength of the two teams in Taiwan and Mongolia is weaker, and this game cannot be too careless.

The schedule of the initial stage of the competition is probably like this, and Long Yun has also been paying attention to the remaining nine teams in the national selection circle, of course, there are too many things he has to deal with at once, and the specific intelligence work is still handed over to Yang Ying and the newly joined "military advisor" Yang Yichen to do.

Regarded by Long Yun as a "theoretical player", Yang Yichen's style of acting is indeed a bit like a "military advisor".

Not long ago, he used Liu Wei's relationship to enter the sight of "Chenlong", and signed a contract with Shun Lì, and the young man did not say much nonsense in front of Long Yun, he admitted that his physical fitness was limited and his eyesight was average, and he also promised to participate in physical exercise and strengthen nutrition as much as possible.

In addition, Yang Yichen also knows his position in the "Chenlong" team very clearly. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
