Exhausted, Risen finally lowered his Banshee fighter to the Columbus, no, to be exact, it was not a landing, it was a fall, and the Banshee fell straight into the Columbus hangar, and a large fire was grieving under the fuselage, causing a group of crew members in red firefighting suits to scramble. The damage to his Banshee fighter was much worse than he thought, not only was the left engine failed and the wingtip shattered, but the control system also went wrong later, and even he didn't know how he drove the fighter back afterwards, but, although it was embarrassing, it was still better than Schneier being shot down and coming back on a rescue plane, wasn't it?

With the help of rescuers, Risen laboriously opened the canopy, oh shit, even the canopy action mechanism didn't work. He staggered away from the banshee-type fighter plane, which was almost surrounded by white fire-extinguishing foam, and sat down in a cold bulkhead corner of the hangar, he really couldn't walk, his hands and feet seemed to be cramping and didn't obey, he felt them tremble, his back was cold, his underwear had already been soaked with a lot of sweat secreted by himself, this was all extremely nervous, he was too close to death just now, he still felt afraid. However, he didn't feel anything in the tense battle, and as soon as the battle was over, he realized that he had almost exhausted all his energy.

A bottle of drink was handed to Risen in front of him, and he didn't have time to see who was so kind, so he stretched out his trembling hand and snatched it, and put it in his stomach for a burst of binge drinking, he felt a burst of spicy, damn, it was actually wine, but it also made him feel much better.

"Thank you, Captain. Schneier, how's it going? How did it feel to be shot down for the first time? Risen looked up, his captain, Captain Clark, standing in front of him, his friend Schneier, and he began to joke with his friend as he had done as usual.

"Hmph, you stinky mouth, but seeing that you are not much better than me today, I don't bother to bother with you." The friend immediately darkened his face and turned his head away from him.

"Are you alright? Lad. Captain Clark asked.

"It's okay, I'm fine, captain, I'm just overly nervous, it's not a big deal, ......" Resin sighed, "It's really dangerous today, captain, if you come a little later, I think I will definitely not be able to escape, they are too powerful." ”

"94," Schneier couldn't help but feel uneasy, "it seems useless for me to hide, the enemy plane has been biting closely behind the Banshee fighter, and the other enemy plane just fired once, and shot me down, I relied on his grandmother's, I still felt good about myself before, I didn't expect to be beaten so embarrassed." My friend began to get depressed as he spoke.

"Alas," the captain sighed and comforted them, "don't complain, this time it was your bad luck to bump into them, and in the case of being ambushed by them, only one was shot down and the other was damaged, and no one was fine, which is already considered a blessing." ”

"They?" Ressen thought he had misheard, and he immediately asked tentatively.

"Uh-huh."

"Female?" Schneier couldn't believe it either.

"That's right."

"Captain, you're kidding us, we're miserable enough today, you don't need to hit us anymore, why haven't I heard of a woman becoming a starfighter pilot?"

"No kidding, the Empire has not yet allowed women to become starfighter pilots, but it does not mean that the Federation also implements the same policy, and I heard that after learning about the excellent performance of female starfighter pilots in the Federation, the possibility of allowing women to fly starfighters is already being discussed, not surprisingly, you will also see female starfighter pilots in the Empire in a few years." The captain replied solemnly.

Risen and Schneier looked at each other You look at me, I look at you, they both saw all kinds of eyes from each other's eyes that were difficult to hide loss and pessimism, frustration, discomfort, etc., even if they were ambushed, it was even more uncomfortable to be shot down, but I didn't expect that it was a woman who shot down and injured them, which is also too sad, when did they even get worse than a woman?

"You must not take them lightly just because they are women," Captain Clark seemed to see what they were thinking, "There are too many people in the Empire who are paralyzed by the fact that they are women, what now?" They're all corpses floating in space, haven't you learned how powerful they are? Women become starfighter pilots, although they are inferior to us in some aspects such as physical fitness, but they are born with several advantages, one is that their endurance and balance are better than men; Second, if the opponent knows that the fighter plane is sitting on a woman, it is easy to be confused and make people feel contemptuous of the enemy; The third is to let those pilots who are not firm enough and have a heart of pity and cherishing the jade have a trace of hesitation and unbearability when pulling the trigger, and such hesitation at the moment of life and death is absolutely fatal......"

Listening to the captain's eloquent conversation, Risen suddenly remembered the girl Yao Feilun he met in the Corcoran galaxy, he was going to break her neck at that time, but after finding out that she was a beautiful girl, what did he do at that time? He glanced at the captain with some humility, it couldn't be that the captain had discovered something and deliberately said this nonsense.

"I briefly took a look at the video of your encounter, hum, the sky blue paint, undoubtedly must be the Blue Angel squadron, why do I say you are unlucky, because the Blue Angel Squadron is a special starfighter squadron composed entirely of women, and the general starfighter squadron is different, the squadron is much larger than the average fighter squadron, and is generally mainly responsible for performing some special tasks, and the members are also carefully selected, which is higher than the average pilot, and the empire suffers a lot in their hands, As far as we know, at least more than half of their squadron are aces, and their captain, Rise, I guess she is sitting in that pink-painted Hellcat you encountered, and her crash record has reached sixty-seven according to official propaganda, and you can get away with it, I really have to say that your luck is good enough. ”

"Sixty-seven?" Risen exclaimed, this is too terrifying.

"Yes, she is currently the third-ranked ace pilot in the Federation, a major in the Federal Army. Oh, that's wrong, plus Schneier's one of yours, it's at least sixty-eight. The captain jokingly squeezed his men, making them blushing and thick-necked.

Risen is speechless now, the ace who shot down sixty-eight, he is now in awe and admiration for the opponent he has never met, the sixty-eight record is now like an unattainable mountain in front of them rookies. No wonder, Risen carefully recalls the textbook movements of the Hellcat, and the extremely accurate and lethal shooting, and only someone with that kind of skill can create this amazing record.

He let out a small moan and muttered, "Major? Sixty-eight? When will I be able to catch up with her? ”

"Yes, young man, I have confidence in you, and if you can successfully escape from her hands, it means that you have considerable potential, and as long as you are alive, you will have more than one day of hers. As for the ranks, I tell you, there is no need to worry at all, the promotion in wartime is very fast, and guess what, what was my rank two years ago? At that time, I had just been promoted to the next level. Captain Clark asked Risen and Schneier.

"Lieutenant. Promoted to captain in two years? Wow, that's fast. Schneier preemptively said.

"Wrong, it's a second lieutenant." The corner of the captain's mouth showed a hint of mockery, "In that damn Battle of the Great Horn 7 Star Domain, I was the same as you, I was a sergeant, the battle was lost, and the empire needed to fill a huge vacuum, so I was promoted to second lieutenant, two years, just two years, I was promoted from second lieutenant to captain, hum, fast enough, it is estimated that after a few more years of fighting, the empire will produce a few baby generals." In short, as long as you don't die and have excellent records, the empire will not skimp on those ranks. ”

Risen and Schneier were speechless again, the speed of the captain's promotion was too amazing, in more than two years, from sergeant to captain, oh my God, it was a total of three levels, and it was not so fast to ride a rocket. Risen couldn't help but think, I'm a second lieutenant now, can I be promoted from second lieutenant to major in two years? And the captain of the Blue Angel squadron, with a record of sixty-eight, how long did it take her to be promoted to major?

"Let's go, boys, go get some food and rest, there's still a battle to be fought in the future, and there are a lot of Federation warplanes waiting for you to shoot down," Captain Clark patted them on the shoulder.

"But, my Banshee fighter......." Risen looked at his beloved fighter jet that was full of foam, he used to be a mechanic after all, and he wanted to stay.

"The damage of your fighter plane will be dealt with by the people of the mechanic company, the damage is not particularly bad, and it will be repaired soon, and Schneier, the Columbus does not have any spare fighters now, and it has to be shipped again, during this time, you will not need to attack for the time being, you can take a good rest, think about why you were ambushed by the women of the Blue Angels today, if you want to live longer in the future, use your brains to think about it, Tomorrow I will compile a report of today's battle and hand it in. Let's go."

"Yes, Captain....."
