Chapter 1039 "Powerful" but Backward Air Force

Next, some further details were discussed, and the meeting was almost over by this time.However, after sending away Deputy Director Song and Director Yuan, Jiang Chen stayed behind.Also staying behind are Mr. Cao, Deputy Commander Zhao of the Air Force, and several leading cadres in the army.When Jiang Chen saw this formation, he knew clearly that the next thing must be about the troops.

Sure enough, the old man spoke first, and he looked at a few people and said, "Okay, the ones left are all our own people in the army. Everyone knows this confidentiality regulation, so I won't say it anymore. Let's talk about it next." Let’s talk about a few things, let’s make a quick decision so that we don’t waste much time.”

Seeing that everyone laughed, the old man went on to say: "As you know, we bought these fighters at a very high price. It can be said that they were piled up with money, so they are very precious. But no matter how precious something is, it can also be used. Otherwise, it will be a pile of scrap iron. The first batch of fighter planes will arrive in China soon, so how to train the pilots who fly them in the shortest time and form combat effectiveness is before us. Another big problem. I’ve heard a lot of opinions on this before, and today I want to hear from you, let’s talk about it.”

Everyone looked at each other when they heard the words, but no one started it.The old man frowned, and then said to Deputy Zhao: "You are the representative of the Air Force, please tell me your Air Force's opinion."

Deputy Zhao @长闻言 nodded, and then said to everyone: "There are also many internal opinions in our air force, some conservative, some radical, some advocate gradual progress, and some give it a go. Finally, we summarize it I believe that it is better to select a group of top pilots from various fighter units of the Air Force to form a special reception training team, and then under the training of foreign instructors, they can quickly master the aircraft and gradually form combat effectiveness. The next step is to draw from this training team with excellent results pilots, form a flight instruction team, and then teach other pilots."

The old man nodded and said, "It's a very safe plan, what's your opinion?"

Facing the eyes of the old man, no one spoke.Seeing this, the old man focused his eyes on Jiang Chen and said, "What about you, let me tell you what you think. I remember you submitted the training plan written above."

And Deputy Chief Zhao also quickly said: "Yes, yes, Xiao Jiang, please tell me your opinion. Our Air Force needs your unique ideas and creativity. We have seen the whole process of this exercise. Our Air Force The chief highly appreciates your performance. Especially with regard to the use of air-ground coordination and air power, you are more skilled than us. So our chief has proposed more than once to learn from you."

"Hehe, you are laughing." Jiang Chen replied with a smile: "I am not very familiar with the situation of the Air Force, and the tactics and tactics are only at the stage of understanding. Since you want to hear my opinion, then I will make a fool of myself. Yes. The plan proposed by the Air Force is actually very good, but in my opinion there are still some deficiencies.”

"Oh, are you talking about it?" the old man asked with interest.

"What do I think?" Jiang Chen said with a smile: "First of all, we need to solve the cultural level, especially the language problem. It is right to select excellent flying tops, but if your own knowledge level is not strong, then you will be able to use it in It will be difficult to accept external knowledge and technology, which will affect the progress of the entire training, and may cause accidents. Regarding language, it is also the top priority. If our pilots do not understand foreign languages, then they can only It is carried out through translation. In this case, the intention of the instructor of the pilot team cannot be directly understood. Especially when flying in the air for training and flying, there are only the instructor and the pilot, so this foreign language communication is particularly important at this time. Our domestic and military Everyone is quite aware of the current situation. After a long period of chaos, the development of the army has lagged behind, and the level of the pilots is also somewhat uneven. Not to mention the level of education, so I suggest that The cultural level, including the foreign language level, is the first consideration. Of course, this premise must be a solid ideological awareness, which is not negotiable. As for the technical level, we can learn this, anyway, we need to contact another system New aircraft. Maybe novices can accept it faster than veterans, after all, veterans have already formed a habit after so many years of training and operation."

After listening to Jiang Chen's words, the old man nodded and said: "What you said is still very reasonable. It is true that you have to be strong in your ideological awareness. This is a low line. You can't relax in this regard. Especially when you come into contact with foreign personnel, you should be more close. Pay attention to the pilot's psychological activities and not relax."

"Yes, I will definitely strengthen the work in this area after I go back." Deputy Chief Zhao replied with a nod.

Well, the old man nodded and continued: "As for the pilot's cultural quality and foreign language proficiency, I think what this kid said is quite reasonable. But this still needs to take into account the actual situation of our army. What do you think about this?"

Deputy Minister Zhao thought for a while, then shook his head at the old man and said: "You know the current situation of the Air Force. Although the number of fighter planes and pilots is very large, the models are old. The quality of the pilots is just like what Xiao Jiang said. It is also relatively poor. But it is still possible to find a few high-quality flying tops from so many people. As for foreign languages, this aspect is indeed our weakness. After all, we have not emphasized these in the past. I think it can be like this, and I will go back immediately Organize the selection, and then organize short-term English assault training for these pilots, so that when receiving the aircraft, everyone's normal communication will be no problem."

"Well, that's the only way for now." The old man nodded and said.

At this time, Mr. Cao said: "What do you Air Force think of this kid's plan to organize joint training exercises with foreign air forces?"

Hearing this, Zhao Vice#长 took a look at Jiang Chen, then shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "Xiao Jiang's suggestion is very good, and it is also in line with the current situation of our Air Force's development. But according to our current situation, especially in the With limited funds, we are really unable to support our aircraft to participate in joint training or exercises abroad, let alone invite troops from other countries to conduct exercises in our country.”

Hearing Vice President Zhao's words, everyone fell into deep thought. Yes, funding is indeed a big problem.
