Changkong Fighter

Chapter 44 Special Mission
"Don't worry, it will definitely be inconvenient for you to come back from the army in the future. I'm still waiting to help you take care of the children."

"Mom, when you have time, buy us a bigger refrigerator and store more food and vegetables." Liu Jun couldn't help but reveal some information in the end. After all, he is also a human being.

"understood."

"Let's go."

Old Liu put on his coat and took his son downstairs, while his mother stood on the balcony and watched her son get into the car. She wiped her eyes and didn't know how long it would take for Liu Jun to come back this time.

After getting in the car, Liu Jun sat in the passenger seat, while Lao Liu sat in the driver's seat, started the electric car, turned around and asked, "Where are we going?"

"AIRPORT."

"Sit down."

Old Liu started the car and drove out of the community, merged into the main road, and drove towards the airport.

"You drive well. I thought you were going to drive a taxi." Liu Jun said.

"Haha, you see, I'm known for being steady at work, so of course I have to be steady when driving too."

The father and son chatted and soon sent their son to the airport. After parking the car in the parking lot, Lao Liu took his son into the airport. As they walked, Lao Liu realized something was wrong. Why was he walking towards the military restricted area?
Standing before the sentry, Liu Jun turned back to look at his father, carefully examining the increasing number of white hairs on his temples. At that moment, he felt that his father had truly aged. "Dad, I'm leaving."

"Well, let's go."

Old Liu waved his hand and motioned his son to go, just like when he sent him to college. He didn't say anything extra, but just patted his son's shoulder heavily.

No one knows a son better than his father. Old Liu could see that his son was worried recently, but he couldn't ask about military matters. Even if he asked, Liu Jun wouldn't tell him. The confidentiality regulations were there, so it was better not to bring it up.

Liu Jun showed his officer ID to the sentry, entered the restricted area, waved to Old Liu and walked in. Although he couldn't see, he felt that Old Liu was staring at his son.

Entering the locker room, Liu Jun had just finished changing his clothes when he heard hurried footsteps outside. Then he saw a major hurriedly approaching. The moment he saw Liu Jun, he quickly stepped forward and extended his right hand: "Hello! Hello! Comrade Liu Jun!"

The major held Liu Jun's right hand with both hands and shook it vigorously a few times. Liu Jun was a little overwhelmed by his enthusiasm and asked, "Hello, may I ask?"

"Look, could you please share some of your experience with our pilots? You know the situation here!"

Although the major didn't want to admit it, there was indeed a gap in technology. After all, they were in a small third-tier city in the inland area, with no national defense pressure at all, and the training intensity was not as high as that of the front line and border.

Liu Jun is very clear about how long the border line and coastline of Southeast University are. The pressure on the border is very high. Every day, unknown planes, drones, reconnaissance planes, and electronic warfare planes invade the airspace. Almost all advanced fighter jets are equipped to the border. There are only a few J11B and J10 here, and the rest are some old models of fighter jets.

Life is tough, but don't give up. I glanced at the clock in the locker room. It only takes an hour to fly from here to the Liaoning, so there is still some time.

The current calm was only superficial; a storm was about to break out! Even though he wasn't particularly well-versed in politics and geography, the unique political science classes at the University of Tokyo taught him that the world had changed! The enemy had also changed, no longer just the same kind using the same technology, but an unknown civilization from beyond Earth.

Many pilots would suffer heavy losses if they fought aliens the same way they would fight human aircraft. It was also appropriate to pass on some experience in fighting aliens to his comrades, even though his experience was limited.

"I don't know, what's your name?"

"Li Jian."

"Major Li," Liu Jun was about to continue when he was interrupted by Li Jian. In front of a pilot with a credit for a kill, rank was unimportant. "Hey! What's the big deal? Just call me Li Jian."

Li Jian asked with a hint of meaning: "Something's not going right lately."

Li Jian didn't say the rest, but the meaning was very simple: Is a war about to break out?
He also used his connections to ask the old squad leader indirectly. After all, as fighters, they were going to go to the front line of the battlefield, so it was natural for them to want to prepare in advance.

"Comrade Li Jianshang, have your superiors issued any special documents to you?"

"Not yet." Li Jian shook his head. "But I'm already increasing the intensity of my training. It's different from every time before!"

After hearing what he said, Liu Jun probably knew what was going on. Colonel Li knew that his name was Liu Jun but he didn't know that he had won first-class merit. The army-wide notice had not been issued yet and his superiors were still suppressing it.

We have to wait for a while before announcing the existence of alien civilizations. The specific length of the wait should depend on obtaining more intelligence. The role of intelligence is to reduce uncertainty. The more we know about alien civilizations, the smaller the losses will be.

"Comrade Li Jian, unless the superiors have issued a document, I cannot say more due to confidentiality regulations."

Li Jian, who was standing opposite, was stunned. He realized something and his smile froze on his face. However, Liu Jun's next words made him look thoughtful:

"However, when you face them one day, don't trust your eyes, especially when you're within a kilometer. Be extremely careful!"

After saying these words, Liu Jun quickly walked out of the locker room, took a shuttle bus to the chicken coop, and handed over the work to the maintenance staff. He had said everything he could say.

After getting into the cockpit, the tow truck pulled the J15 to the end of the runway, released the landing gear and drove away. The ground staff cooperated with Liu Jun to conduct the final inspection of the aircraft for takeoff (aerodynamic surfaces, instruments, external skin, etc.).

After confirming that there were no abnormalities, the ground crew made a gesture indicating that the plane could take off, and Liu Jun indicated that he had received it.

"Changkong, calling the tower, requesting takeoff."

【Changkong, takeoff is permitted.】

"clear."

The muscle memory from HNA training made Liu Jun instinctively increase the accelerator and pull the landing gear brake. The increasingly loud roar of the engine and the landing gear began to slide forward uncontrollably, making the ground staff on the side exclaim in their hearts that it was violent!

After releasing the brakes, the J15, which had accumulated energy, launched itself into action and quickly took off on the runway. It was not until it flew into the sky that Liu Jun realized that he had not even used 1/8 of the runway.

What is it? Major Li pondered Liu Jun's words as he watched the J-15 fly away. He didn't ask what it was specifically, but he felt that the information Liu Jun had revealed was likely to be extremely valuable intelligence.

Pulling the lever, Liu Jun looked at the altimeter and speed indicator. After reaching the predetermined altitude, the fighter plane changed to a level cruise and flew towards the port where the Liaoning was resting.

After flying for more than an hour, when a vast ocean appeared in the distance and they were about to lower their altitude, suddenly a communication came into Liu Jun's fighter plane. After the communication was connected, a male voice that he had never heard before came into his ears.

[This is the command center, calling Changkong, there is a special mission for you to perform, you can choose to refuse]

　I would like to wish you all a happy new year, good luck, good health and prosperity.
