You were asked to repeat your senior year of high school, and you took advantage of the opportunity

Chapter 611 Departure to Pakistan

Ten days later.

Huangtian Bachang Station.

Chief Engineer Gao stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the fighter jets on the tarmac with a loving face.

It's like an old father who has worked hard for most of his life and is watching his children who have been raised with great difficulty become successful.

"Are you used to flying?"

He turned around.

Looking at Jiang Chen, he smiled and said, "I heard from Xiao Huang that you have performed very well these past few days, and the instructors are also very satisfied with you."

Jiang Chen is holding a flight helmet.

Following Chief Engineer Gao, he said, "It's OK. I'm used to it."

"You'll get used to it." Chief Engineer Gao nodded slightly.

"You've been here for almost ten days, and I only found time to see you today. Don't be angry." Chief Engineer Gao looked at him and continued, "It's not that I don't value you, but I'm really busy during this period."

"I just flew back from the west today."

"I went to Guangdong Province a few days ago. The Americans have been active in the South China Sea in the past one or two years, so the military plans to hold a joint sea and air exercise in the South China Sea in the second half of the year to deter the surrounding scoundrels. Our scientific research departments also want to participate in it, so we went there to hold a meeting for several days."

Jiang Chen waved his hand and said, "Look at what you said. I'm not a distinguished guest. Why would you need to take the time to meet me? Just give me any orders you have. I promise to obey them and follow their instructions."

"You kid," Chief Engineer Gao pointed at him and said with a smile, "No wonder Shen Fei praised you so much. Not only are you gifted, but you also have a good attitude and are not impatient or anxious."

"Why did you go to Xifei?" Jiang Chen asked curiously, "Are you helping to upgrade 'Sixth Master' again?"

"I'm not saying anything, why does Xi'an Aircraft Industrial Corporation always bother 'Sixth Master'? Wouldn't it be better if they just developed a new type of stealth bomber?"

"Now 'Sixth Master' has been upgraded to the letter 'k'. There are not many letters left for 'Sixth Master'."

Jiang Chen was only halfway through his words.

He reacted suddenly.

He looked at Chief Engineer Gao expectantly and said, "You went to Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation to exchange and learn. Could it be that Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation wants to learn from the 'J-20 Weilong' and learn the Weilong's stealth coating and aerodynamic layout?"

Chief Engineer Gao glanced at him.

He said unhappily, "The Weilong is a fighter, and Xi'an Aircraft's main business is bombers. The two are not completely unrelated, but they are not closely related. How did you think that Xi'an Aircraft needed to learn from us? I just went there for a simple meeting."

"Ah~~~" Jiang Chen's face was full of disappointment.

I thought I could get some information about the "stealth bomber" from Chief Engineer Gao.

I don’t know whether the other party is tight-lipped or the West doesn’t have this project at all.

all in all.

Jiang Chen didn't get any information out of him.

However, it is highly likely that Xi'an Aircraft Industrial Corporation does not have the "stealth bomber" project.

After all, if "Sixth Master" is modified a little, it can still be used.

"You look down on the H-6 so much?" Chief Engineer Gao said with a smile, "The H-6 is at least one of the strategic bombers, and it can be considered a national treasure."

Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "It's not that I look down on it, I just think it's not good enough."

"There's a saying among military fans online that's quite right: We're not afraid of Sixth Master bringing too many, we're just afraid of Sixth Master bringing one." Chief Engineer Gao wiped the sweat off his face before continuing, "It's already the 21st century, and the era of needing bombers to carry out large-scale carpet bombing is over."

“What is the biggest role of strategic bombers now?”

“It’s a deterrent.”

"No one can see the stealth bomber, so who can it deter?"

"So now Russia is still repeatedly upgrading the Tu-95, and the Americans are also repeatedly upgrading the B-52. Is the B-2 not useful?"

"of course not."

"It's that the B-2 is too expensive, and the B-52 is also quite cost-effective."

"Moreover."

"A strategic bomber is actually a weapon carrier. It doesn't matter whether the carrier is advanced or not. Anyway, there are fighter jets protecting it closely. As long as the weapons are advanced, it's fine."

"When the H-6K carrying an Eagle Strike-12 makes a circle over the South China Sea, the American aircraft carrier fleet will have to flee towards the Western Pacific."

"So, boy, don't underestimate 'Sixth Master'. Although Lian Po is old, he can still play a big role."

Looking at Chief Engineer Gao who was talking eloquently.

Jiang Chen opened his mouth.

Want to refute.

But he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.

Because he was surprised to find that what the other person said actually made a lot of sense.

Although there has been a strong demand for stealth bombers in China in recent years, upon closer inspection, the role of stealth bombers is not as great as imagined.

There is only one stealth strategic bomber in the world now - the B-2.

However, the wealthy Americans not only built 21 planes (three crashed, leaving 18), but also rarely deployed them.

After all, it costs at least half a million US dollars to operate a B-2 once.

Even though the United States' military spending is the highest in the world.

But it can't afford such waste.

And the B-2 can do what the B-52 can do.

Since even the wealthy mold does not build more B-2s, and they are only deployed a few times a year for deterrence.

It is indeed unlikely that the traditionally frugal University of Tokyo would engage in large-scale research and development and manufacturing.

just.

That being said.

Jiang Chen still felt a little disappointed.

Because for ordinary military fans, the value of stealth bombers is not only in the military level, it can also greatly boost national morale.

This can be considered as a long-standing grudge of an old military fan.

"Commander, when do we leave for Dubai?" Jiang Chen calmed down and changed the subject.

"You will leave the day after tomorrow, and we will have to wait a few more days." Chief Engineer Gao said, "Because you have to go to Pakistan first, and then have an exchange visit with the Pakistan Air Force, and then go to Dubai to participate in the air show."

"We won't accompany you around for a while, we'll go straight to Dubai."

"Oh." Jiang Chen suddenly realized, "I heard from Instructor Li (Li Daquan) that the Pakistani Air Force is quite powerful. Have you ever communicated with them?"

"Yes." Chief Engineer Gao nodded and said, "But I have no say in how powerful the Pakistani Air Force is. Aren't you going to conduct an actual combat exercise with them? Wouldn't you know how powerful they are after a fight?"

Jiang Chen licked his dry and chapped lower lip.

A small flame had begun to burn in his eye sockets.

Chief Engineer Gao is right.

What others say is just hearsay. How powerful the Pakistani Air Force is won’t we know once we have a fight with it?

the next day.

duty room.

Huang Zhiguo's face was serious.

He is completely different from his usual talkative self.

"Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, the delegation will depart from Huangtianba Station for a friendly visit to Pakistan."

"According to the order from my superiors, I will be the commander of the team heading to Pakistan this time."

"The delegation consists of five members, two J-10C Raptor fighter jets and three Xiaolong-3 fighter jets."

"Because the journey is long, we have to complete at least two aerial refuelings before we can reach our destination."

"Here's the flight plan, you all can take a look at it."

He just finished speaking.

Several other people had already opened a document in front of them.

Huang Zhiguo has also turned on the projector and started projecting the details of the major transitions of this overseas visit.

The straight-line distance from Huangtianba Station to Pakistan is several thousand kilometers.

With the range of the J-10C Raptor fighter, it will run out of fuel at most halfway through the flight.

Not to mention the JF-3 which has shorter legs.

Two or three minutes passed.

Huang Zhiguo spoke again, "You have finished reading it."

The other people looked at each other and nodded.

"Do you have any questions? If you do, please ask now. If not, let's adjourn the meeting." He waved his hand.

There is no problem with other people.

Only Jiang Chen raised his hand and said, "I do have a small question."

"Go ahead." Huang Zhiguo looked at him and said, "I haven't received any training on aerial refueling, but I have tried it a few times with a simulator before. It's quite simple to simulate aerial refueling with a simulator. I wonder if it will be as simple as the simulator when the time comes." Jiang Chen said seriously.

Huang Zhiguo was stunned at first.

Then he slapped his forehead.

"Damn it, that's a mistake."

"You were so amazing, so when I was planning the training for the big turn, I subconsciously ignored the fact that you were still a fledgling. I thought you and I were both experienced pilots."

"Oh~~~"

He sighed.

"The plan I worked on all night was wasted. Now we can only start over and cancel the aerial refueling and stop at two airports instead."

"But this would be too time-consuming and labor-intensive. By the time we get to Pakistan, it would probably be night."

Jiang Chen hurriedly said, "There's no need to be so troublesome."

"Then tell me, what good idea do you have?" Huang Zhiguo said unhappily.

Jiang Chen said, "There is still one day left. If you can get an aerial refueling tanker, I can cram and learn the aerial refueling subject in one day."

"Boy, aren't you afraid of your tongue being blown away by the strong wind?" Huang Zhiguo glanced at him and said unhappily, "Do you really think aerial refueling is that easy? You learned it in one day? Do you really think you are a genius?"

"And even if you could learn aerial refueling in one day, I can't get you an aerial refueling tanker."

"That thing is very expensive. There are only about twenty of them in the whole army, and most of them are medium-sized aerial refueling aircraft like the H-6, which can only carry 18.5 tons of fuel. The Il-78 can carry more than tons of fuel, but there are only three in the whole army."

"I'll get you an aerial refueling tanker to help you."

"So it's better to be honest and refuel at the military airports in Tibet Province and Northern Xinjiang Province."

"It takes as much time as you can."

"There's nothing else to do in Pakistan anyway."

He talked a lot.

Then he waved his hand and said, "Let's adjourn the meeting first. After I revise the flight plan and submit it to the Air Force Headquarters for approval, we will have a short meeting together."

Listen to him.

Several other people stood up immediately.

They came out in a line.

the next day.

Genius is dim and bright.

Jiang Chen had already gotten up.

He gathered his clothes and put them into a camouflage bag.

I left the guesthouse with my camouflage bag and headed to the cafeteria.

In the cafeteria.

Several other flight instructors have arrived.

However, several people, like him, each carried a camouflage bag.

Because this trip abroad will last at least ten days or half a month.

You must bring your own clothes and toiletries.

As for where to put these luggage?
There is no need to worry about this.

Although the fighter cockpit is small, there is space for luggage.

After dinner.

A few people did not delay.

Instead, he hurried to the flight briefing room.

Jiang Chen changed into a flight suit and a gravity suit.

He was about to head to the tarmac with his flight helmet and luggage bag.

Huang Zhiguo hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Have you received your service gun?"

Jiang Chen was taken aback.

He shook his head and asked, "What gun?"

"Ah~~~" Huang Zhiguo had an expression of 'as expected', "We are going abroad this time, and the nature of the training is different from usual, so we need to carry weapons for self-defense."

Done.

He pulled out his service gun.

Jiang Chen looked over immediately.

This is an automatic pistol with a compact design.

When Huang Zhiguo held it in his hand, it was not even as big as his palm.

Huang Zhiguo handed the pistol to Jiang Chen and said, "This is a QSZ11 pistol, an automatic pistol used by our army to equip senior officers, guards and pilots. You practiced target shooting in school and learned how to shoot firearms, right?"

Jiang Chen nodded.

He pulled the bolt skillfully and then put the safety on the pistol.

Huang Zhiguo saw that he was indeed very skilled.

Only then did I feel relieved a little.

I said to him, "I'll give you this gun first. I'll go get another one later. But you must be careful not to accidentally fire it."

Jiang Chen nodded, "Don't worry, I know what to do."

"it is good."

After explaining to Jiang Chen.

Huang Zhiguo then hurried out of the flight briefing room.

Jiang Chen put away his pistol, took his flight helmet and luggage bag, and walked towards the tarmac.

Tarmac.

Several silver-gray painted fighter jets have completed maintenance and overhaul.

Several other pilots were also on the tarmac at this time, and together with the ground crew, they began to conduct the final inspection of the aircraft.

Jiang Chen hurried over and put the luggage bag aside.

Then they began to inspect a J-10C Raptor fighter jet around the aircraft.

Probably a few minutes later.

He finished his inspection around the machine.

With the help of the ground crew, he got into the cockpit of the fighter plane.

Not a moment later.

Huang Zhiguo also came to the tarmac.

With several pilots boarding successfully.

As the commander, Huang Zhiguo took the lead in driving the plane slowly away from the apron and towards the runway.

Jiang Chen followed closely behind.

It didn't take long.

All five fighter jets have entered the take-off waiting area.

Following the order from the tower.

Huang Zhiguo took the lead.

He was the first to drive the plane out of the take-off waiting area and began to taxi along the runway.

About a minute later.

Huang Zhiguo has successfully taken off and launched into space.

Jiang Chen also immediately pushed the rod and increased the power.

This silver-gray J-10C Raptor fighter jet rushed out like a sharp arrow.

Soon.

A total of five fighter planes took off.

After forming a formation in the air, they turned around and headed west.

set off!

Pakistan!

ps: Because I went home to worship my ancestors yesterday and drank a few glasses of wine too much, I was drunk the whole day. Today, I went up the mountain to worship my ancestors again during the day. I only had time to update now. I'm sorry everyone. Although there is only one update today, this update has 4,000 words, so it doesn't count as a break. As for the two updates and 4,000 words that were missing yesterday, I will definitely find a way to make up for it.
