Chapter 1597 The Best Person (First Update, Please Subscribe)
New year and new atmosphere!
No one expected that the fate of a country had already been decided at the beginning of the new year.

Even as the military began to formulate plans to push a country to its doom, ordinary people knew nothing about it and were still immersed in the joy of the New Year.

There are always various performances and concerts around the New Year. For 17-year-old Li Yiyuan, this time is the most troublesome time - he always receives various invitations.

Most of them are female classmates.

For Li Yiyuan, who is in his senior year of high school, falling in love is the most normal thing.

"I like pretty girls and fast-moving airplanes, but too many of them give me a headache."

Sitting in a chair, looking at the tickets for concerts or performances on the desk in front of me.

Li Yiyuan had a headache.

What he disliked most was festivals. It seemed that he had hated such festivals since he was in high school.

Because there are always puzzles to deal with, just like now - he needs to make it in these tickets.

Choose who to go to the show with.

This is a very difficult choice, after all, these girls are all very beautiful.

In fact, Li Yiyuan was not opposed to being with them, but, women...

"Why can't they just be like good friends and go to the show with me?"

Well, sometimes, women are really troublesome, and too many women can be quite troublesome too.

Finally overwhelmed by his decision-making difficulty, Li Yiyuan decided to take out his magic weapon and closed his eyes.

"Call the soldiers, call the generals, whoever you call will be the one..."

When he opened his eyes again and saw the concert ticket that his finger was pointing at, Li Yiyuan picked up the ticket and said:

"It's a pity it wasn't Shengying's concert. Well, he's also very good, Fu..."

Suddenly the phone rang, interrupting his words. He picked up the phone and the voice from the other end made Li Yiyuan's face show surprise.

"Is this Li Yiyuan? I am from the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps. Based on your outstanding performance in the training corps and your high school entrance exam scores, you have been qualified for an interview at the Air Force Flight Academy. Please go to the Air Force Flight Academy for an interview within 15 days. The interview notice will be mailed to you within 5 days."

The moment he hung up the phone, Li Yiyuan shouted excitedly.

"Hooray, I'm going to the Air Force. I'm going to the Air Force."

Soon, everyone knew the news. There was nothing they could do because the boy's shouting was too loud.

He even ran to his father's study and told his father the news personally.

"Air Force Flight Academy".

Looking at his excited son, Li Yian nodded and said.

"The Air Force Flight Academy has always been an elite school, and only the best have the chance to get in there. Well, congratulations!"

Although pilot training is flexible - anyone with a bachelor's degree can participate in the Air Force pilot training program and become an Air Force pilot.

However, those pilots basically fly transport planes, helicopters and other aircraft. Only a very small number of people can pass the fighter pilot assessment.

Unlike ordinary aircraft pilots, the training cycle for fighter pilots needs to be more than 6 years, including 4 years of study at the Air Force Flight Academy, at least 1 year of special pilot training and more than 1 year of fighter operation training.

The Air Force Flight Academy has very high requirements for its students, and it has extremely strict requirements for the students who apply.

This requirement is not just about learning or physical development, but more about emphasizing interest!
Like Li Yiyuan, he joined a flying interest group when he was in junior high school, learned various flying knowledge, and received glider training.

When they reached high school, they entered the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps. During the training period, only the students with the best performance and excellent joint examination scores had the opportunity to receive interview notifications.

Basically, all fighter pilots follow this path. If you don't have enough interest in flying, it is impossible to stick to a hobby for 6 years.

It is their interest and desire in flying that makes them likely to become the best fighter pilots.

Because of this, now whether it is the Air Force or the Naval Aviation, their fighter pilots are a group of air knights eager to fight and fly.

This is an elite unit. Only a few people can join it.

Li Yiyuan has been preparing for this day for 10 years!
"Thank you, Dad. I will be able to join the Air Force soon..."

When Li Yiyuan mentioned the Air Force, light flashed in his eyes. It was the light of a dream come true.

Looking at his excited son, Li Yian said with a smile:

"No, you have another interview to go through."

The reason he gave this reminder was because he was the one who agreed to set up the admission screening mechanism for the Air Force Flight Academy.

When those ace pilots from Germany helped set up the Air Force Flight Academy, they had disputes over admissions.

Some people think that it should be like a normal university, where everyone can apply, while others think that interest should come first. For example, super ace Erich Hartmann supports this view.

In their view, if a pilot has no interest in flying and fighting, he will never be a good pilot.

"It is impossible for a person who relies on flying for a living to become a good fighter pilot."

Erich Hartmann's point of view was deeply agreed by Li Yian. After all, in another world, he and his classmates all hastily chose a major based on their scores in the college entrance examination. As for interests and hobbies, he never considered that everything was just for a living.

Finally?

I was only studying a profession that I had no interest in, and then working a job that could barely make a living.

This is the life of most people. It seems that interests and hobbies do not exist for adults.

Everything is for survival.

How can one love an industry and fully utilize his or her talents in the situation where the only thing he or she needs is to survive?

So, for some industries, interest is indeed more important.

Leave the flying to those who are interested.

This was one of the principles upon which the flight academy was founded.

Facing his father's reminder, Li Yiyuan said confidently.

"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely pass the interview."

On this day, for Li Yiyuan, Fu Cong and Gu Shengying were no longer important.

Neither the concert nor the girl who accompanied her to the concert was more important than flying.

The most important thing for him now is to prepare for the next interview.

Half a month later, a Porsche roared into the Air Force Academy parking lot. Among a bunch of various cars, this Porsche was very eye-catching.

However, Li Yiyuan didn't think there was anything wrong with it, he just liked speed.

The wind and lightning can be in the sky or on the ground. So, just after his 16th birthday, he gave himself a birthday present - a Porsche sports car.

Perhaps this is also the reason why he is very popular in high school. After all, female high school students cannot resist the speed and passion brought by sports cars.

Some students came by car, and some took the bus to attend the interview, but without exception, none of them were accompanied by their parents.

These young people, wearing the uniforms of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps, gathered here from all over the country - their interview notices even included an air ticket or high-speed rail ticket.

The Air Force will pay for their travel and accommodation expenses for the interview. Even if they fail the interview, they don't need to be disappointed, as the Air Force will arrange for them to take a flight in a two-seat fighter jet.

After that, they will be lifelong supporters of the Air Force, and failure to become Air Force pilots will also be a lifelong regret for them.

These young people, full of expectations, are nervously waiting for the moment that will decide their fate.

After the interview draw, everyone was waiting there. Some people were walking back and forth, silently organizing in their minds how to answer the interview questions.

Li Yiyuan was no exception. He was also doing the same thing there silently.

"Why do you want to join the Air Force?"

“Because the Air Force only wants the best soldiers, and only the best Air Force soldiers have the opportunity to become fighter pilots.

So I want to be the best of the best.”

This is a somewhat formulaic answer, and most people would answer this way. In fact, Li Yiyuan just likes flying.

"I just love flying. I've loved it since I was a kid, sir. Because the Air Force only has the best, so in the past ten years, I have been working hard to make myself better, so that I have the opportunity to become a part of it, sir."

Faced with such an answer, all five interviewers smiled. The interviewer sitting in the middle looked at Li Yiyuan.
He is about 1.85 meters tall, with an upright and strong build, handsome appearance, and some traces of Eurasian ancestry.

A guy like this standing here is simply a standard recruitment billboard. He can be the spokesperson for the Air Force.

I have to say, even men look at appearance.

Just by looking at his appearance, I had a tendency to think he was someone I hadn't thought about. Moreover, this young man seemed somewhat familiar, as if I had seen him somewhere before, but I couldn't put my finger on it.

The interviewers then asked a few more questions, and his answers were all very standard.

This interview is actually symbolic, because these people have been selected through layers of selection - they have already learned basic flying in the Air Force Reserve Corps, and the instructors have given them comprehensive scores based on their performance.

After three years of assessment and scoring, many of those who needed to be eliminated had already been eliminated. In the end, all that was left was to eliminate 50% of them.

50% of the people need to be eliminated, which is the interview at the Air Force Flight Academy.

After the interview, Li Yiyuan left the room and walked into the corridor.

As soon as he came out, someone handed him a cigarette and said:
"Well, it's all over. Come and have a cigarette first. The rest is up to fate."

Taking the cigarette, Li Yiyuan said helplessly.

"Yeah, now we can only leave it to fate. By the way, success, what's your score?"

As he spoke, he looked at Han Chenggong, they were comrades in the training regiment and had a very close relationship, but they were also competitors.

Because they know that only the best people will have the opportunity to get an interview notice and finally come here.

"4.8."

Han Chenggong raised the corner of his mouth, looked at Li Yiyuan and asked:
"What about you? What was your interview score?"

"Not much, not much,"

Li Yiyuan paused, took a puff of cigarette, and then spoke lightly.

"That's just 4.86."

In an instant, Han Chenggong's expression changed a little, then he took two puffs of his cigarette and said
"It's okay, there are still 4 years of opportunities..."

A score of 4.8 is enough to get into the flight academy, which means they can continue to be competitors in the next four years.
