Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

A base in Yanshan.

"Hey, Brother Ren, take a look at my Army Aviation Brigade. What do you think? They are all college students. Each of them is well-educated, wise and brave. I, Li, have upgraded my muskets to cannons." Li Yunlong pointed to two rows of soldiers lined up neatly not far ahead.

Each of them was neatly dressed in a leather jacket and a high-tech communication helmet. Standing there they looked like a beautiful landscape, both majestic and handsome.

Ren Zhong never expected that the usually rough Old Li actually had a highly educated team!
You have to know that college students are relatively rare nowadays, and each one of them is sought after by the ever-expanding research institutes and large factories.

During graduation season, apart from well-known institutions like the Liming Research Institute, which have no worries about lack of applicants, most other private research institutes and factories are not that attractive. They have to stay in school and constantly promote themselves in order to attract some talented people to come back.

If you said there were three or five college students, Ren Zhong would not be surprised, but now there are two rows of people standing in front of him. Ren Zhong can tell at a glance that there are at least more than thirty people. How did Lao Li get so many college students here?
Ren Zhong looked at Li Yunlong with a puzzled look.

This morning, Lao Li came to his house and brought him here directly. He said that he was checking for his Army Aviation Brigade. Ren Zhong was a little confused at that time. Up to now, Lao Li has only been given 4 helicopters. Where did the Army Aviation Brigade come from?

Now that he saw the people, Ren Zhong understood that, although he hadn't gotten the helicopter, Lao Li's aviation brigade had gathered the soldiers first!

"Hey, Lao Li, college students are so popular nowadays, how did you trick so many of them here?" Ren Zhong was too lazy to guess and asked directly.

In his opinion, this Old Li must be trying to deceive people.

"Don't ask. The only thing you need to know is that I, Old Li, am very charming. People can't stop from coming to my Sixteenth Army." Old Li's face was smiling like a chrysanthemum.

"No, Lao Li, you are an Army Aviation Brigade, and we can only equip you with 12 helicopters at most. You have brought so many people, I think there are at least 30. What are you going to do with the extra one-third? Do you still have substitutes for these things? Don't tell me you want to expand the staff, it's impossible. 12 is your limit. So many units are eyeing this, and after several foreign exhibitions and helicopter diplomacy, we have obtained nearly 100 export orders, and these will be delivered in priority. If nothing unexpected happens, your Army Aviation Brigade will probably take at least a year and a half to be fully staffed." Ren Zhong rushed to block Lao Li's possible excuses.

This guy pulled me here early in the morning under the pretext of inspection, but in fact he must have some ulterior motive.

Sure enough, the originally arrogant Old Li immediately changed his expression into that of a bitter melon.

"No, Brother Ren, Brother Ren, I have gathered all the people. They are real college students and learn very quickly. We have completed many tactical drills you mentioned. Moreover, we have trained everyone to fly these four helicopters, and Lao Li can also fly them." Li Yunlong said anxiously.

"Let me tell you, with this thing, our combat effectiveness has been greatly improved. Helicopters and airborne three-wheeled vehicles are completely different things. Of course, I am not saying that airborne three-wheeled vehicles are useless. At this stage, airborne three-wheeled vehicles still have a strong ability to deploy troops on the front line, but helicopters have aerial attack firepower that airborne three-wheeled vehicles do not have at all.

In the past, our army only had artillery as its heavy firepower, but the delivery of artillery required the guidance of forward artillery observers to effectively pour ammunition on the enemy's position. But helicopters don't need this, they can just fly over to the enemy and fire."

Ren Zhong was of course well aware of the benefits of armed helicopters, but he was more curious about how Lao Li was able to train more than 4 pilots using only helicopters.

"Old Li, it's only been a few months since you got the prototype. How come you have trained so many pilots now?" Ren Zhong asked.

"Hey, this is where I, Old Li, am smart. You know, I asked for these pilots from the Aviation College. They are all college students with some basic knowledge. After we get the helicopters, we will use one for static ground familiarization, so that the pilots can come up for on-site training every day. For the other three helicopters, the best students will be trained in actual operation." Old Li smiled and was obviously very proud of his clever approach. Ren Zhong also understood a little bit after hearing this. Old Li is indeed an engineer, and he has arranged the training clearly.

Everything seemed to have changed when it came into Lao Li's hands. It was originally thought that it would take Lao Li at least more than a year to gather all the pilots, but who would have thought that Lao Li would complete the team's training in just a few months.

If Lao Li were really equipped with 12 helicopters, he would be able to form combat effectiveness immediately.

This execution ability is simply overwhelming.

Unfortunately, Ren Zhong really didn’t have a helicopter for Lao Li.

Not to mention solving the problem of helicopters for the extra pilots for Lao Li.

"Old Li, your Army Aviation Brigade is overstaffed," Ren Zhong knew that Old Li always took more than he could afford, but under the current conditions, Old Li had obviously miscalculated. "The students at the Aviation Academy are in great demand, you can't let them stay here and waste their time. The Navy's helicopter brigade may not even be fully staffed yet, so why not transfer the extra people from your side to them?"

Hearing Ren Zhong's specific words, Li Yunlong felt a little distressed, but he understood Ren Zhong's intentions and agreed after a little thought.

College students are indeed very valuable these days. Since his plan against Ren Zhong failed, it is impossible for Lao Li to keep these people in his hands. He lured these high-spirited young students over under the pretext that they would soon form an aviation brigade. Anyway, he does have four helicopters, and after they are trained, Lao Li plans to find Ren Zhong to complete the team.

Who knew that Ren Zhong would not give in at all this time, so he could only go with the flow and change his mind.

"Brother Ren, I have contacted the navy to take over the extra flight team members, but can the helicopters of our Army Aviation Brigade arrive earlier?" Li Yunlong still wanted to build up the Army Aviation Brigade as soon as possible.

"Old Li, there's no place for you to use your skills right now, so there's no need to rush this matter," Ren Zhong shook his head. Although the outside world is still a bit dangerous and there are constant wars in the world, after Dongda broke the big news to the world several times in succession, although it didn't make many friends, it no longer has any enemies on the surface.

After all, whether it is nuclear submarines or ultra-long-range missiles, these are powerful weapons that no one else in the Blue Planet of the Bright Sword can make.

As long as one's brain is not damaged, he probably wouldn't dare to have any hostile thoughts towards the University of Tokyo.

"Oh, now isn't the Army Aviation issue coming up? I don't have anything else important to do here, but I've been fretting over this matter all day long." Li Yunlong said embarrassedly.

Hearing what Li Yunlong said, Ren Zhong suddenly had an idea and prepared to do something else for Li Yunlong.
