Bathed in the glow, walking in the green and spring-filled camp, greeting the patrol troops on the way, and not long after, we arrived at the headquarters.
After a second inspection by the guards and confirmation that it was correct, Zhou Hai immediately walked into the headquarters and went to the office of the base's top commander.
"Boom!"
Standing in front of the door, Zhou Hai straightened his collar out of habit, then reached out and knocked lightly on the door.
A deep and slightly serious voice came from inside the door: "Please come in."
"Reporting to Commander, pilot Zhou Hai has successfully completed the scheduled combat mission and has ended his vacation ahead of schedule. He has now returned to the base and requested to return to the team!"
Pushing the door open and walking into the war room, Zhou Hai faced Yang Tianming, the base's top commander who was processing management documents at his desk. He looked serious, raised his hands in salute, and reported the situation.
"Zhou Hai, you kid is finally back. Lao Lin called me to inform me before. The time is almost now."
When Yang Tianming heard the unfamiliar yet familiar voice, he raised his head. When he saw Zhou Hai, he was startled for a moment, and suddenly a look of surprise appeared. He stood up and raised his hand in return: "It's been half a year. I feel more energetic. Not bad. Sit down. I want to drink." What do you want?"
The praises were endless, and the words contained joy.
"Uh... No, no, no." Zhou Hai was startled when he saw Yang Tianming who was particularly enthusiastic. He quickly waved his hand, turned around and found a stool to sit down, without being too particular or restrained.
After not seeing each other for half a year, Colonel Yang seems to have become much more enthusiastic?
Yang Tianming looked at Zhou Hai with a kind smile on his face: "I heard from Lao Lin that you completed the mission very well. You made a great contribution and did not lose the face of our Chinese Air Force."
Great work, intended to lead the American air war.
As the top commander of the Pengcheng base, Colonel Yang Tianming naturally knew some inside information. During the entire mission, Zhou Hai's performance was simply beyond expectations. Not only did he complete the coaching mission perfectly, he also shot down two Typhoons one on two.
I heard that aircraft cannons were also used to intercept missiles!
When he first learned the news, Yang Tianming was completely shocked.
What's this?
There is light on the face!
Externally, it has gained the face of the Chinese Air Force, and internally, it has gained the face of Yang Tianming!
You know, Zhou Hai is an active pilot affiliated with Pengcheng Base.
"This is my job, as it should be." Zhou Hai smiled sheepishly.
"You kid, you've always been like this."
Looking at Zhou Hai's young and mature face, Yang Tianming's eyes were full of satisfaction. After making great achievements, he was humble and polite, neither arrogant nor impetuous, and had the air of a general. He nodded, with a serious look on his face. Said: "Comrade Zhou Hai, you are allowed to return to the team."
"yes!"
Zhou Hai looked solemn, stood up, and raised his hands in salute.
With Yang Tianming's words, it was a serious return to the team and was recognized.
"Zhou Hai, this time you are promoted to the rank of major and the rank of a full-time military officer. You should be given an actual position. However, due to the special nature of the base, we cannot assign you an actual position this time." Yang Tianming looked at Zhou Hai, Biluochun sat down again, picked up the bubbles on the table, took a sip, cleared his throat, and said seriously.
"I understand, it's okay. I don't like to hold actual positions very much." After hearing this, Zhou Hai shook his head and replied, not caring.
Military rank, military grade and actual duties are three completely different concepts.
As a major, Zhou Hai is a battalion flying officer and has actual combat experience. He is now fully qualified to serve as the military commander of a battalion-level unit.
However, holding an actual position may seem glamorous, but in fact, Zhou Hai has never liked it.
Because he is too lazy to take care of these things.
When you become a battalion commander, no, a group leader, you have to assume corresponding responsibilities and obligations. You have to manage other pilots and troops. You have to deal with various documents and write materials every day. You also have to toss the troops in training, teach tactics, and deal with the bosses from time to time. Inspections and inquiries, etc.
There are too many tedious things, it is a headache, it is a waste of time, and it is meaningless.
Rather than holding an actual position and being busy with these things all day long, Zhou Hai prefers to fly freely in the blue sky alone.
Why do you care about that shit?
Moreover, as Yang Tianming said, Zhou Hai has no way to arrange actual duties now, because the situation at the Pengcheng base is completely different from that of the conventional air force.
As the third-level top-secret unit and the only unit in the army equipped with 12 J-10D Fire Dragons, the Pengcheng base has a very special status and situation. It has three directly-affiliated squadrons - Lijian, Hongying and Haiyan. Each squadron has four fighters. There is no flight group establishment for the time being and they are directly managed by the base headquarters.
Due to the particularity and confidentiality of the J-10D fighter, the pilots of the three squadrons, except Xin Fei Zhou Hai, the other eleven are all top pilots mobilized from the entire army, with the lowest military rank of major and the lowest military rank of battalion. Li Jiahong, the captain of the Lijian Squadron, is also the regimental pilot of the Lieutenant Colonel.
As a result, the flight squadrons that were originally supposed to be company-level formations turned out to be highly equipped, upgraded by one or even two levels.
In terms of qualifications, Zhou Hai is incomparable.
In terms of military experience, Zhou Hai is incomparable.
In terms of combat experience and strength, there is no comparison yet.
In terms of handsomeness, the other eleven, including Su Peng, seem to be slightly less handsome than Zhou Hai.
Moreover, there is a carrot and a pit. If you want to assign actual duties to Zhou Hai, you must mobilize the actual duties of the three squadron leaders.
When placed in the first-line regular air force, with Zhou Hai's military exploits and resume, it would be easy to serve as deputy flight commander. The second-line air force is almost scrambling for the real captain position, which can command twelve fighters. Of course, he is a second-generation fighter. of.
But at the Pengcheng base, there is no way. Due to the establishment and structure, actual duties cannot be arranged at all.
The situation is that Zhou Hai can only enjoy the benefits conferred by his military position at present, and does not have the corresponding actual command power for the time being.
As for being the battalion commander of a base security force, well, that's just a shame.
Seeing Zhou Hai's calm and unconcerned look, Yang Tianming looked a little stunned and had a strange expression on his face: "Really?"
What's going on?
Are there still people who don’t like or don’t care about their actual duties?
Yang Tianming thought Zhou Hai would be dissatisfied and disappointed, but instead he waited for this weird and speechless answer.
"Of course it is true. I completely obey the arrangements of my superiors." Zhou Hai showed an innocent look on his face, covering up his lazy nature and nodded.
Yang Tianming felt weak, took a sip of Biluochun, waved his hand, and said: "You kid... forget it, okay, go back. Remember to go to the equipment department to pick up your sealed flight equipment and tactical tablet. I just asked the logistics The army has cleaned your room. We have a rest today and you will go on a mission tomorrow. You will be on a long-distance transfer on your own. The specific content of the mission will be sent to you via the tablet."
