Chapter 590: A Battle Hero Who Rises Two Levels in a Row
It can only be said that it is worthy of a flight academy, and the campus area is indeed large for a university, which is a bit exaggerated.
The open-top jeep circled around the inner road several times until the wind made Chang Haonan feel like sneezing, and finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous building.
"Today, a superior leader came to inspect, and if you go directly into the teaching area, there may be additional security, so you have to get out of the car and walk in, which is too far away and inconvenient."
Zhang Jiujiang explained while pushing the car door:
"But anyway, they're about to get out of class, I'll take you to my office for a while, and then I'll go to the cafeteria for a meal, and then find their life teacher to contact your sister to come out."
"No problem, this is your territory, it's up to you."
Chang Haonan on the co-pilot also got out of the car.
Because nothing has happened in the last few days, I don't care about waiting a little longer:
"However, the superiors will come to inspect the internal units of your army and need to set up security again?"
He had just recalled, and when he entered the door, he didn't seem to find signs such as welcome to the guide, and the sentinels didn't seem to make any additional moves (of course, he still didn't know the other party's inner theater at that time).
"It's generally not needed, but the situation is different today, you see that there was no movement outside just now, it can be regarded as loose on the outside and tight on the inside......"
Zhang Jiujiang, who was walking beside him, replied with some vagueness:
"Of course, it's really not much extra security, just don't let vehicles in, so as not to block the road and affect the trip."
Seeing that he didn't say it more clearly, Chang Haonan also knew that this matter was all about, so he didn't continue to ask.
While speaking, the two of them had already arrived at the door of a four-story office building.
Zhang Jiujiang's office is on the second floor, which is very convenient.
"Sit down, I'll get you something to drink."
Chang Haonan noticed that there was a photo next to the other party's desk, but it was not a common family photo or travel photo, but a group photo taken by him and Zhang Jiujiang, Lu Yuying and others in front of the J-7F around this time last year.
Although it has only been a year, when I see this photo, I still feel a sense of unreality of time and space.
For one, too much has happened in the past year.
Second, the J-7F, after all, is the first model he made after his rebirth.
Although there is a bit of a misconception.
The first batch of 24 of this model should have been delivered to the Pakistan Air Force, and it seems that there are still small orders from other countries in the pipeline.
However, Chang Haonan has indeed not paid attention to it for some days.
It wasn't until a steaming white porcelain mug was placed on the coaster in front of him that his mind was pulled out of the memories brought by the photograph.
"By the way, Instructor Zhang, did you participate in the test flight of the J-7F later?"
Chang Haonan picked up the teacup, blew it gently, and then asked.
"After that air show?"
Zhang Jiujiang held an identical cup and sat on his office chair:
"I have fought several target tests at the Dingxin base, 23mm cannons, as well as Thunderbolt 5II and Thunderbolt 8, and I have never flown in other subjects, and I was supposed to fight Thunderbolt 11, but the transfer order of the flight academy arrived ahead of schedule."
"It's a pity, otherwise we would have had a chance to hit an over-the-horizon missile, and we would be able to blow it when we teach students ......"
Although the equipment situation of the Huaxia Air Force has improved a lot compared with the previous generation, the main force today is still the J-6 and J-7, and there are very few pilots who have fired medium-range bombs.
It's still worth talking about.
Zhang Jiujiang knew through Lu Yuying that Chang Haonan had been deeply involved in the J-7F, and even participated in the design of the J-10.
Although I don't understand why a person can participate in the projects of 601 and 611 at the same time in a short period of time, I can talk about it with confidence and boldness.
After a pause and a sip of water, he continued:
"After all, we were temporarily seconded to the test flight center because of insufficient manpower, and the establishment is still in our own troops, although we don't say it, but it's not easy to arrange high-risk projects such as tail spin change or air parking restart, in case something happens, it's hard to explain, of course, to put it bluntly, there are concerns about our level."
"But to be honest, no matter what other subjects are, if you just change the stall and tailspin, in fact, no test pilot can fly us as instructors......"
Stall and tailspin are essential subjects in the flight training process, and of course they only need to be operated once for the trainees, but the instructors need to fly day after day, year after year, and it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that.
It can be seen that although Zhang Jiujiang chose a relatively stable aviation school job, he still has some expectations for more challenging work.
Perhaps he also realized that he seemed to be complaining a little just now, so he changed the conversation:
"Alas...... Don't mention this, although it is ordinary here, but the wife and children don't have to worry, and it's good to be able to go home on the weekend. ”
"Of course, at your age, you shouldn't feel this way, hahaha......"
Chang Haonan is not easy to answer.
The main thing is that his actual age is not much different from Zhang Jiujiang.
But because I didn't get married in my previous life, I ......
I really don't feel that way.
So I had to carry out a tactical drinking water to cover up this little embarrassment.
Fortunately, the topic was quickly revealed, and the two began to talk about something serious, and the parents and teachers of the students should talk about what should be discussed.
For example, academic performance and so on.
……
"Alright, it's almost time, I'll take you to dinner."
After chatting for a while, Zhang Jiujiang looked at his watch, got up and put on his coat again, and took Chang Haonan to prepare to go out.
But just as the two of them went downstairs to the hall on the first floor, they happened to meet a group of people who were about to go upstairs.
The first person carried a gold star, his face was grim, and his steps were like the wind.
Chang Haonan thought about it for a while, and realized that this should be the "superior leader" that Zhang Jiujiang just mentioned.
The rank of major general is also in line with this level of security.
If he had been at a higher level, if he hadn't pulled out that letter of introduction today, he probably wouldn't have been able to come in.
Thinking like this in his heart, he was ready to dodge around and let the other party pass first.
And Zhang Jiujiang naturally stood up and saluted.
When several figures staggered, Chang Haonan glanced past the face of the officer at the front.
And in this place, the appearance of a young man in civilian clothes is not a particularly common thing, and it is inevitable to attract more attention.
As a result, the eyes of the two intersected for a moment.
Then, the footsteps stopped almost simultaneously.
Chang Haonan was already shocked in his heart.
I just came to see a sister, how could I meet an acquaintance?
Zheng Liangqun, the pilot who piloted the J-8C for the first time, met when he received the award at Sandaomen before.
Because this fact is too big, it is very impressive.
"Comrade Chang Haonan?"
Apparently the people who came recognized him.
"Zheng ......"
Chang Haonan was stuck before the first syllable was pronounced.
In his impression, Zheng Liangqun was still the commander of the First Air Division.
But the rank of general on the opposite side obviously shows that he has been promoted again.
In the end, I had to choose a name that could not be wrong:
"General Zheng, such a coincidence, long time no see."
Chang Haonan felt that his identity was too much to hide.
Sure enough, the other party wondered almost without thinking:
"Comrade Haonan, you are ...... here"
"My sister goes to school here, so I came to see her on vacation."
Having given a vague answer, he hastened to change the subject:
"Just now I heard Instructor Zhang say that a leader came to inspect today, but I didn't expect it to be you."
"Alas, what you don't have yours, see the outside......"
For Chang Haonan, Zheng Liangqun is still grateful.
Over the past year, he has been directly involved in the bat-hunting operation that shot down the MiG-25 and indirectly involved in the embankment operation to deter the Royal Navy fleet.
It can be said that he has been involved in the two biggest jobs of the Air Force in the past 30 years.
As a result, he was awarded the honorary title of "Air Force Combat Hero", and then he was promoted two levels in a row, crossing the most critical general threshold for a middle and senior commander.
Although this is inseparable from his own efforts, after all, it is also necessary to take into account the improvement of the equipment level of the PLA Air Force......
