Rejecting Qinghua Baoyan, I became a military officer

Chapter 737 is just what I want!

"Deputy Chief Engineer Zhang, this is just my personal opinion. We'll have to wait until the actual competition to know the final result."

Xu Ye wouldn't indulge him, and said calmly with a blank expression.

Do you think you're so great?

Let alone a mere deputy chief engineer, even if the highest-ranking official from Shenyang Aircraft Corporation came, Xu Ye wouldn't go easy on him.

Firstly, this violates Xu Ye's principles.

Secondly, the domestically produced J-11A is now outdated and there is absolutely no need to continue production; continuing production would only be a waste of resources.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that the J10A has good performance.

Otherwise, even if we are lagging behind, we must continue production.

It's very simple, there's no substitute!

"Chief Engineer Wen, I've finished eating, I'm leaving now!"

After saying that, Xu Ye turned away from him, nodded to Chief Engineer Wen, and left with his tray.

There was no point in arguing with Deputy Chief Engineer Zhang; they simply didn't see eye to eye.

If you're so capable, cancel tomorrow's combat exercise. That's the only way we can buy Shenyang Aircraft Corporation some time to adjust.

But, is it possible?
Not to mention that Shen Fei can no longer decide things at this level, even if he could, Cheng Fei is not someone to be trifled with!
Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) has a slightly weaker influence than Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC), but only slightly. When it comes to matters concerning their own future products, Chengdu will absolutely not allow SAC to do whatever it wants.

Therefore, this method is simply impossible. The simplest approach is to find a breakthrough by working through Xu Ye.

However, it was clear that Xu Ye didn't give him any face at all.

"Old Zhang, don't overthink it. He's a young man, it's normal for him to be hot-blooded!"

Chief Engineer Wen breathed a sigh of relief, but was also overjoyed. He showed no sign of it on his face and generously offered his advice.

No wonder so many people advise others to be generous.

I have to say, this feeling is actually pretty good!
"Indeed young!"

Deputy Chief Engineer Zhang's lips twitched, but he could only bite the bullet and agree.

It's already embarrassing enough, do we have to be even more humiliated in front of Chief Engineer Wen?

"Old Wen, let's eat first!" Deputy Chief Engineer Zhang forcibly changed the subject.

He has done everything he could and couldn't do.

Now that things have come to this, all that's left is to report it to the factory.

He didn't want to care about the rest, nor could he care anymore.

For Deputy Chief Engineer Zhang, he also had the work of J11B, so even if J11A was really discontinued, it wouldn't have much impact on him personally.

Moreover, to be honest, Deputy Chief Designer Zhang also felt that the Su-27 had indeed reached the point where production should end.

This point has also been discussed within Shenyang Aircraft Corporation.

However, due to factors such as the original contract with Russia and the less-than-smooth progress of the improved J-11B, the production of the J-11A continued as scheduled.

Of course, the most important thing is that before this, the Su-27 had not revealed its "old and worn-out" condition.

However, a sudden YLK war brought all of this into the public eye.

It's not fair to say that the Su-27s were just throwing away kills, but their kill ratio was indeed quite high, not as good as the improved Su-30.

Therefore, for China, which considers itself an adversary like the United States, the Su-27 is undoubtedly no longer suitable for the times.

Not to mention, the J-10 can now even defeat the Su-27!
As a result, once tomorrow's combat exercise ends, it will most likely become the last straw that breaks the camel's back, and the suspension of J-11A production will definitely be put back on the agenda, and it will no longer be hastily concluded without any results.

This is also the result Xu Ye wanted. If it can be achieved, this time will be two or three years earlier than in his previous life.

The time frame may seem short, but the funds involved could amount to billions, not to mention hundreds of millions of US dollars in foreign exchange.

The current Dragon Country is not the Dragon Country with a huge amount of foreign exchange that it used to be, so it tries to save as much as possible on foreign exchange.

There's no way around it, the old A8 is still an A8. Similarly, the Su-27 is indeed somewhat outdated, but the price of producing one is still over 200 million yuan!
Therefore, this kind of "outdated production capacity" should be shut down as soon as possible, and limited resources and energy should be put into improving new models.

105 domestically produced Su-27s is far too many; it would be better to have fewer.

It's important to know that when Xu Ye traveled through time, the Su-27 had already begun to be retired.

For this type of fighter jet, a service life of one or two decades is not long, but for various reasons, they have begun to be withdrawn from active service one after another.

In Xu Ye's view, there may be many reasons, but the most fundamental reason is that it is "too outdated" and not suitable for continued service.

Of course, by that time, China was not only rich, but also powerful.

Otherwise, no matter how many problems there are, they won't retire.

Knowing the outcome and having the ability to stop production from increasing, Xu Ye was willing to do his part.

Moreover, in a sense, Xu Ye was also acting in the best interests of Shenyang Aircraft Corporation's future development.

Of course, Xu Ye was definitely not using the guise of doing what was good for the country to engage in self-serving and despicable acts.

As for whether Shen Fei will take his anger out on him because of this?
Xu Ye hadn't even considered it, nor did he care. What could they possibly do to him?
As the saying goes, "He who has no desires is invincible," and that was Xu Ye's attitude when facing Shen Fei.

If it were Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) instead, we would need to establish good relations with them beforehand.

After all, Xu Ye was hoping to get in touch with the J-20 as soon as possible, and ideally become its chief test pilot.

However, these are all things for the future, and Xu Ye only thought about them briefly without taking them to heart.

Unfortunately, it had been a long time, and Xu Ye didn't know how far things had progressed by then.

As for Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group's explosive development project, even if it's successfully developed a little ahead of schedule, how much earlier can it be?

It is the world's most advanced fifth-generation fighter jet, not child's play; there are too many factors involved.

"Xu Ye, let's just do what we're supposed to do tomorrow, don't worry about him!"

Zhao Yang jogged up to Xu Ye and whispered to him.

They are all intelligent people. Zhao Yang also heard what Deputy Chief Engineer Zhang said and understood what he meant.

But, to be honest, Zhao Yang also disagreed.

These days, there are many cases of fraud and deception.

However, Zhao Yang did not participate in any of these things, including this time.

"Brother Zhao, don't worry, I'll definitely beat you to a pulp tomorrow!" Xu Ye said with a slight smile.

Xu Ye had no intention of changing his plan in this regard.

For the J-10 and for the Chinese Air Force, the shorter the exercise time tomorrow, the better.

"You little brat, I knew I shouldn't have come to talk to you," Zhao Yang said, somewhat exasperated.

"However, be careful, we won't give up easily tomorrow either!"

Zhao Yang was determined not to lose face, even though defeat was inevitable; he wanted to give it his all before the results were announced.

What if we win?

"That suits me perfectly!" Xu Ye said with a smile.

At their current level, they can tell at a glance whether the opponent is holding back.

Therefore, there is absolutely no need to doubt the truthfulness of the other party's words.

"Alright, I'm leaving now, I won't keep you any longer!"

As Zhao Yang spoke, he glanced to the side with a broad smile.

Bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, he looked quite dashing in his well-fitting sky-blue military uniform.

"Ziqing, have you eaten yet?" Xu Ye walked over and asked with a smile.

"Yes, we've already eaten." Han Ziqing and Xu Ye walked side by side.

After spending these days together, this has become a habit for her.

I'm used to walking to Xu Ye's right, used to keeping pace with his steps...

"Xu Ye, we'll be leaving tomorrow after the exercise," Han Ziqing said, looking at Xu Ye with a touch of sadness. Although she already knew this.

However, when the time for parting finally came, Han Ziqi was still filled with reluctance.

At the same time, this further solidified Han Ziqing's idea of ​​becoming a military journalist.

dream?

When it comes to love, even dreams can be changed, right?

Besides, military journalists are still journalists, it's just that the chances of them becoming big or famous journalists are relatively low, unless war breaks out.

Han Ziqing prefers peace to becoming a top journalist.

"A woman should follow her husband wherever he goes," as the saying goes, and Han Ziqing preferred to be with Xu Ye.

"Yes, time really flies!" Xu Ye said with some emotion.

Han Ziqing's arrival brought a lot of joy to his somewhat "boring" life.

Unfortunately, happy times are always short-lived; before we could fully savor them, they were about to end.

“However, after this mission is over, I will have some time off, and I will come to the capital to find you then,” Xu Ye said after thinking for a moment.

During this period, Xu Ye has been flying at high intensity every day. Once the mission is over, he will definitely have a considerable amount of time off.

Then, Xu Ye can go to the capital to find Han Ziqing.

"Really?"

Han Ziqing stopped in her tracks with a hint of surprise, her eyes filled with hope.

"Of course!"

Xu Ye nodded.

"Great!"

Han Ziqing resisted the urge to jump on Xu Ye and skipped and frolicked ahead, leaving a trail of joy on the track.

……

A restless night!
As usual, Xu Ye went to morning exercises and ate in the canteen early. He personally checked his own plane and Liu Shouzhi's plane to make sure that the two planes would not collide.

Otherwise, regardless of the final result, the impact of "somewhat poor quality" will be unavoidable.

"Instructor Xu, our commander is looking for you!"

After confirming that there were no problems, Xu Ye put away his tools and then heard the voice of the clerk next to Liu Shouzhi behind him.

Although it was called a document, it was actually Liu Shouzhi's private secretary.

In the 404th Division, at the beginning, many people called Xu Ye "Commander".

However, gradually, it has now been standardized as "Instructor Xu".

Xu Ye was quite satisfied with this title.

"Oh, I see!"

Xu Ye straightened up and turned around.

Are the leaders arriving?

In the car, Xu Ye asked the clerk.

The fact that Liu Shouzhi didn't come means there are more important arrangements to make.

For example, welcoming the visiting leader.

With less than two hours until the official start of the combat exercise, people who were supposed to arrive began to arrive one after another.

This is something that Liu Shouzhi, who is now the deputy division commander and will soon be the division commander, cannot be absent from.

"Yes, sir!" the clerk replied respectfully.

Nodding, Xu Ye remained silent, pondering who would be coming today.

Perhaps because it was confidential, Liu Shouzhi didn't tell him either.

Xu Ye wasn't curious about this.

Don't worry, the answer will be revealed soon.

"Hello, Chief!"

Xu Ye bowed.

At this moment, several key leaders of the 404th Division were present, and Xu Ye had to abide by the rules.

If it were just Liu Shouzhi alone, then there would be no need for such a formality.

"Xu Ye, I'm sorry to have bothered you. I hope it's not a problem?" Cheng Guangrong returned the greeting with a smile.

"It's nothing!" Xu Ye shook his head. "Isn't Deputy Division Commander Liu here too?"

Rather than worrying about yourself, you should worry about Liu Shouzhi holding you back.

Xu Ye's blunt words made Liu Shouzhi feel somewhat embarrassed.

"Xu Ye, after we welcome the leader, I'll go with you to make preparations," Liu Shouzhi said quickly, then added, "The leader specifically mentioned wanting to see you, which is why he called you over?"

"The Supreme Commander?"

Xu Ye raised his index finger to confirm.

"Okay, I'll follow your instructions!"

Seeing that everyone nodded in unison, Xu Ye put away his smile and said.

Xu Ye had only heard of this Air Force commander before, and had never met him.

After all, Xu Ye had only been with the Air Force for a very short time.

That being said, let alone the one in the Air Force, even the one in the Army—Xu Ye had been in the Army for almost two years and had met quite a few superiors, but he had never met that one.

Actually, this is already very good.

If things go wrong, you might not even recognize each other when you meet, which is perfectly normal.

Just like when you're in college, many people probably only see each other once or twice, or even just once, after four years!
"Don't be so serious, we still have some time, let's chat casually," Political Commissar Chen Tianli said with a smile.

Compared to Liu Shouzhi, who had already given up hope, Chen Tianli was still not completely resigned to it.

What if Xu Ye is willing to come?
"Okay, Political Commissar." Xu Ye smiled.

After that, since they had nothing else to do, the group started chatting.

"Report! The commander's car has arrived at the gate!"

About ten minutes later, a junior staff officer knocked on the door and came in to report.

"Okay, I understand!" Cheng Guangrong waved his hand, took a deep breath, and stood up.

Not only him, but Chen Tianli and Liu Shouzhi also had similar expressions.

In contrast, Xu Ye remained calm.

Even if he's the highest-ranking officer in the Air Force, is he any higher than the person who awarded him medals and awards in Beijing?
Therefore, Xu Ye calmly followed the others downstairs.

Those qualified personnel from the 404th Division who were able to arrive were quietly waiting in front of the office building.

Soon, a car stopped in front of them, and the people inside got out.

Xu Ye had already seen the photo, so he could naturally identify who the person was!
Next came the similar welcoming ceremony.

"You must be Xu Ye, our Air Force's great hero!"

When he came up to Xu Ye, looking at Xu Ye's excessively young face, he smiled and said.

He had wanted to meet Xu Ye for a long time, but he never had the chance. Today, he finally got his wish.
