Great Power Fighting Falcon

Chapter 396 Welcome the new era

No. 037 J-7EGG Super Edition landed at Chengluoma Overlord Airport under the sunset. The three huge auxiliary fuel tanks made the fighter look a little top-heavy, more like a maid doing heavy work in the palace.

Yu Niandong had been waiting on the tarmac early. He put up a pergola and looked over. He smiled and said to the representative of the garrison beside him, "Representative Shi, look at this aircraft, they made it nondescript."

Shi Tian was the newly transferred military representative stationed in the factory. He was at the stage of getting familiar with the work. During this period, he followed Yu Niandong everywhere to learn about the situation. I heard that the legendary Western Warriors were coming over, and that they were going to fly a legendary J-7 over for modification, and that they were going to drive away a J-10B, which was all within his scope of responsibility.

Hearing what Yu Niandong said, he smiled and asked, "It's surprising that Beiku Repair Shop has the ability to do such modifications."

"Beiku Repair Shop is a relatively powerful aircraft repair shop in the Air Force. In the past, a Su 27 had a broken wing, and they successfully repaired it with the help of Shen Huoyi Factory," Yu Niandong said.

"I heard about this in the after-installation department of the aviation department, and it attracted the leadership's attention," Shi Tian said.

Yu Niandong said, "Beiku is very strong."

These four words are thought-provoking, and it is obvious that Beiku Repair Shop is not the only one that is strong.

"coming."

No. 037 J-7EGG Super Edition taxied over and parked directly on the apron. The ground crew swarmed up to fix the aircraft stand on the boarding ladder. Not long after the canopy was opened, the pilot stood up. It happened to be to the west. Against the light, Yu Niandong and Shi Tian could only see the black outline, as if returning from a battle. The sunset warrior general.

Yu Niandong strode forward to greet him.

Shi Tian hesitated, not sure whether it was appropriate for the colonel's regimental cadre to greet the major's camp cadre. When he saw the pilot carrying a huge duffel bag when he got off the plane. Taking a closer look, it was a military-standard canvas duffel bag, painted in Air Force blue camouflage, usually used to carry personal non-combat supplies.

He also flew a fighter jet with his luggage. Can such a big luggage bag fit in the small cockpit of the J-7?

"Captain Li, you have worked hard all the way." Yu Niandong smiled and stretched out his hand to help Li Zhan carry his luggage.

The latter waved his hand to refuse, took off his flight helmet with one hand and tucked it under his ribs. He took off his white labor protection gloves and said with a smile, "Gong Yu, we meet again."

"Have a good journey."

Yu Niandong was very happy. He was an old friend. He was a captain two years ago and now he has become a legendary flying captain in the Air Force. Efforts were made to promote the upgrading of military equipment, one after another, until the installation of new domestically produced heavy-duty fighters, and to engage in major projects and develop a tactical intelligence interaction system, making outstanding contributions to the Air Force's information operations.

Less than three years ago.

To maintain this momentum, the generals have everything they need to do.

"The old man is very helpful and the journey went smoothly." Li Zhan smiled and shook hands with Yu Niandong.

Yu Niandong looked back and found that Shi Tian was still standing there. He frowned slightly and then said with a smile, "Captain Li, let me introduce you. This is Colonel Shi Tian, ​​the representative of the army stationed in the factory."

Li Zhan did not dare to neglect, and quickly walked over, put down his luggage bag, stood at attention and saluted, "Hello, chief, I am Li Zhan, captain of the 101st Brigade Flying Team."

But it made Shi Tian a little embarrassed. Unexpectedly, the famous legendary flight captain had no airs at all, and quickly returned the greeting, "Hello, Captain Li, I have long admired your name."

"I don't dare." Li Zhan said with a smile.

Yu Niandong said, "Captain Li, let's settle down first. The factory will welcome you, and the director and secretary will be present. Haha, it's all because of your reputation as Captain Li."

"If Mingren doesn't tell secrets, something must have happened. What could it be? I'm just a major." Li Zhan said with a frown.

Yu Niandong was stunned for a moment, then raised his thumbs up and said in admiration, "Captain Li is awesome. Come on, let's walk as we go."

The person who picked up the car was Coaster. The Coaster produced by FAW with the words "Sichuan Chengdu" on the butt is not from other brands. Chengluoma is more heroic than Shen Hoy, and Coaster is much more expensive than Overbearing.

On the way to the factory guest house, Yu Niandong smiled and said, "To be honest, the factory party committee trusts me. I have just been appointed as the deputy director of the Technical Liaison Office, responsible for internal affairs."

"Congratulations on your promotion." Li Zhan smiled.

Chengluoma is a department-level unit but the factory director is at the deputy ministerial level, which carries more weight than ordinary ministerial-level companies. The Technical Liaison Office is a second-level department of the agency and a division-level unit, which means that Yu Niandong has already stepped into the ranks of division-level leaders, which is rare for people with a technical background. Therefore, Li Zhan’s congratulations are not an exaggeration.

"Although he is the deputy director, he is actually responsible for the technical aspect. As for technical liaison, the work he does is not much different from before." Yu Niandong was in a good mood and said with a smile, "It is mainly because of this one thing."

He paused for a moment, made eye contact with Shi Tian, ​​lowered his voice, and said, "The factory has separately announced the appointment of a deputy director specializing in flight safety and ideological education, who happens to be in charge of our technical liaison office. , I just want to communicate with the deputy director in advance."

"Oh, what does that have to do with me?" Li Zhan asked.

Shi Tian smiled and said, "The new deputy director is your old boss."

"My old leader?" Li Zhan said in surprise.

Yu Niandong said, "Political Commissar Bao Guanhua, isn't he the political commissar of your 101st Brigade?"

"What?" Li Zhan was shocked, "Political Commissar Bao... Political Commissar Bao came to you as the deputy director of the factory? No, no, how is it possible? Political Commissar Bao is about to be promoted to the army, how could he be..."

He suddenly remembered that it was Bao Guanhua who directed him to take off more than two hours ago. In Li Zhan's memory, this was the first time that Bao Guanhua directed the takeoff and landing operations of fighter planes as the tower commander. He thought that the old political commissar was saying goodbye to him specially, but he didn't expect that he was saying goodbye to him and the army in this way.

"Dong Sanguai, wish everything goes well, goodbye."

When I thought back to this last sentence, I realized that it had a deeper meaning.

"He, how could he change his career?" Li Zhan couldn't accept it, feeling extremely sad and uncomfortable in his heart.

With Bao Guanhua gone, the 101st Brigade really has to say goodbye to the past.

Yu Niandong couldn't quite understand the emotion of being a soldier, so he said with a smile, "This is a good thing. Political Commissar Bao is only in his early fifties, and he will be able to work for at least ten years after returning from work. The group company attaches great importance to it, and the deputy director is doing his job. The treatment is similar to the deputy military level treatment in the army. Your old leader will definitely have the opportunity to be promoted again."

Li Zhan forced a smile, obviously unwilling to say more.

Shi Tian quietly tugged on Yu Niandong's arm and shook his head slightly. Only then did Yu Niandong realize that something was wrong with Li Zhan's expression, and he immediately woke up and swallowed what he was about to say.

They arrived in silence all the way to the guest house and took Li Zhan to settle down. Yu Niandong and Shi Tian left knowingly, giving Li Chu a chance to be alone.

After closing the door and looking at the clean and tidy suite, Li Zhan walked to the balcony of the living room and looked at the sunset in the distance. The afterglow cast a golden color on his face.

The sun never stops rising and setting.

He doesn't feel bad anymore.

Prepare to welcome the new era and make persistent efforts to contribute to building a strong people's navy!

In the lobby outside the guest house, Yu Niandong and Shi Tian were sitting on the sofa waiting for dinner time to pick up Li Zhan for the banquet. There must be no leaks at the dinner party attended by both the factory director and the secretary.

"Representative Shi, Captain Li's reaction is a bit excessive, isn't it? Most of the transferred cadres have idle positions, and most of them have no positions and only have rank-level benefits. Our factory has received so many transferred cadres from the military every year and can directly take up leadership positions in the factory for so many years. Political Commissar Bao. Captain Li's reaction is strange." Yu Niandong said with a frown.

Shi Tian said, "I don't know much about the 101st Brigade, but I know very well about the transfer of political commissar Bao Guanhua. This is an advanced model promoted by the Air Force this year among full-time regimental cadres and above, and the head of the Air Force has praised it many times. Regular Army Ah, I voluntarily gave up the opportunity of Dai Jiangxing to apply for a job transfer and gave up my position to a young cadre. This style of behavior moved the head of the aviation department very much. Tell me, would you be able to make up your mind if it were you?"

"This..." Yu Niandong hesitated and shook his head with a wry smile, "If it were me, I wouldn't give up the opportunity to become a general. If you take that step, the road to the rest of your life will be wider."

Shi Tian said, "That's it. Political Commissar Bao did it. The superiors are already studying his new appointment. Judging from his work performance in the 101st Brigade, it is logical to take the next step to serve as the political commissar of the air defense base, deputy military level. 101st Regiment After the brigade was reorganized, the Beikuku Field Station was transformed into a combat training base, all of which were at the division level. The 101st Brigade developed rapidly, and it had the same team and two brands as the combat training base, which made its importance even more prominent. From deputy army to full army It’s just a matter of time. The most important thing is that Kongsi wants an old comrade to take charge in Beiku.”

Taking a breath, Yu Niandong said, "No wonder Captain Li's expression suddenly changed. He probably doesn't know this is happening yet."

"It seems he doesn't know. But he probably doesn't feel sorry for Bao Guanhua, but sad. An era has truly ended. Captain Li is a man with deep emotions." Shi Tian said with emotion.

"How do you say this?" Yu Niandong asked strangely.

Shi Tian sighed and said, "The 101st Brigade is already a key construction unit of the Air Force. What was it like two years ago? Sitting anonymously in a corner of the west, all it receives are second-hand goods, third-hand goods and even fourth-hand goods used by other troops. The aircraft has earned the nickname the King of Rags in the West. In just over two years, let’s see what it looks like now? It’s not impossible to be the first to install a fourth-generation aircraft in the future.”

"Yes, looking back now, the changes have been great. It can be said to be a huge change." Yu Niandong felt inexplicably sad when he recalled the way Li Zhan drooled when he looked at the J-7E.

This has happened more than once. Every time they see some troops coming to receive second-hand J-7s and J-8s that have been overhauled, Yu Niandong and the others feel very uncomfortable, followed by self-blame and guilt. Isn't it true that what the troops use depends on what they can develop?

Military workers are also under great pressure.

Shi Tian said, "There is a saying that the great development of the 101st Brigade is inseparable from three people. The brigade commander Xue Xiangdong, the political commissar Bao Guanhua, and the other one is Li Zhan. The three of them are regarded as a golden combination, and they can be said to be invincible. Therefore, there is a saying that this is the Xue Xiangdong era of the 101 Brigade. After Brigadier Xue drove to Hexi, political commissar Bao Guanhua was still there, but now Bao Guanhua is about to change his career, and the 101 Brigade is about to enter the next stage of development. .”

"Isn't Captain Li still there?" Yu Niandong said.

Shi Tian shook his head, "Look at the luggage bag he is carrying. I'm afraid he won't return to Beiku for a while. The most important thing is that his superiors will not let him stay in the same unit for a long time. Xue Xiangdong and Bao Guanhua is a special case. After all, the situation in the Beikku region is special, and it would have been impossible without cadres who were familiar with the local situation."

Yu Niandong thought about it and suddenly realized, "I understand, Captain Li is reluctant to give up."

"Yes, comparing our hearts, who would be willing to leave the army that we finally brought together."
