Major General Pat Plouff lowered the landing gear, and the aircraft's front wheels touched the ground first, emitting light green smoke as they rubbed against the ground for a few times. The rear landing gear then touched the ground to increase resistance, and also emitted light green smoke as it rubbed against the ground.
Based on experience, it was judged that all the take-off and landing wheels were on the ground. Major General Pat Plouffe pushed the control stick to the bottom and pointed the front of the wing diagonally towards the ground, which increased the wind resistance of the wing and the landing center of gravity of the aircraft. The speed of the aircraft quickly decreased and it stopped steadily.
Major General Pat Plouffe took off his goggles and flight hat, opened the cockpit of the aircraft, but did not get up, and said: "Zhihan, based on your performance, you can apply to enter the special training class, so that your flight time will be You can get enough protection. But I don't know if you left behind the theoretical knowledge that the Air Force needs to learn during your physical training at West Point."
After the flight just now, Major General Pat Plouff believed that as long as he was properly trained, Zhou Zhihan would be a future aerial ace. How could he miss such a good student.
Zhou Zhihan said: "I'm sorry, General! At that time, I just wanted to return to China, and I didn't spend any time learning the theoretical knowledge of the Air Force."
"You didn't learn anything?"
"I didn't learn a thing."
Major General Pat Plouffe frowned and tapped the joystick with his fingers: "This is more difficult. If you want to enter the advanced training class, you must pass various theoretical knowledge examinations and achieve excellent results before you are qualified. Take the selection test.
And you will take the theoretical knowledge test in three days. In these three days, you will not be able to complete three months of theoretical knowledge. "
Zhou Zhihan said: "General! I want to try to learn all the theoretical knowledge of the air force in three days."
"What?" Major General Pat Plouffe was surprised: "Three days? Do you want to learn in three days what others need to learn in three months?"
"Yes. General!"
Major General Pat Plouffe looked at Zhou Zhihan and said nothing. Young people have ideals, ambitions, and personalities. This is a good thing, but talking big and empty words is also the basic sign of many young people.
If you say that you can complete someone else's three-month study in one month, I can believe that as long as you are smart and studious, you can do it with hard work. But you said that you can complete the three-month study that others have studied hard in three days. Yue's knowledge seems to be false and empty.
Major General Pat Plouff then thought again. All ace pilots have super self-confidence. Just like himself back then, didn't he also think that he was omnipotent and could fly a fighter jet to the sky and escape from the earth? Later, after being beaten by the instructor, he put away his pride and concentrated on studying air combat technology, and then achieved great success in the subsequent air combat.
Jade cannot be used without carving!
Geniuses also need to be suppressed a little at the right time before they can put away their arrogance and concentrate on practicing!
"It is also a good thing for young people to have strong self-confidence, but being too confident can sometimes be a double-edged sword. Since you want to give it a try, then give it a try. If it doesn't work, just go to my office and see me! "
Major General Pat Plouffe walked off the plane after finishing speaking.
His words couldn't be more clear. You Zhou Zhihan can try boldly, but if you can't complete the theoretical knowledge in three days that others can complete in three months, I will find a way to open the back door for you, but from now on, you will become Be humble and study hard, and don't be blindly arrogant just because you are a genius.
"Thank you General!"
Zhou Zhihan hurriedly climbed out of the plane and almost fell. Fortunately, he was helped by the flight sergeant beside him, so he was not embarrassed.
Major General Pat Plouffe walked up to the junior trainees, took off his gloves, and took the gold-wired white pipe handed over by the adjutant. After lighting it, he took a puff and held the pipe:
"I have to take six students every year, and now I have four, and there are still two places left. All of you in the junior class can sign up, and I will select the best!"
After Master Pat Plouff finished speaking, he turned and left.
Lieutenant Colonel Jack Linton looked at Zhou Zhihan and knew that the general must be interested in this international student, so he made an exception and accepted junior students into his special flying class.
Major General Pat Plouffe participated in World War I and was an ace pilot with a brilliant record. Since becoming the principal of the Randolph Air Force Academy, he has led several outstanding students every year to establish a special flying class. The pilots brought out are all elites.
All the Japanese students looked at Zhou Zhihan and the principal, Major General Pat Plouffe, as they stepped off the plane, with jealousy and hatred in their eyes. The return of this Chinese student instantly broke the previous situation between students from both sides.
In the past, the Japanese students had been crushing the Chinese students with a superior attitude, but now, all this seems to be changing quietly. This sudden change made it difficult for the Japanese students to accept it for a while, so they all looked at each other with hatred, I wish I could skin Zhou Zhihan alive.
At this moment, all the Chinese students finally knew what it meant to be proud. Zhou Zhihan and the principal flew into the sky together and stepped off the plane together. You Japanese people should take a look at this supreme honor.
What does this mean?
This shows that our Chinese students are better than your Japanese students.
Do you understand? ! We Chinese students are better than you Japanese students!
What is a strong person?
The strong one laughs last!
Surrounded by his classmates, Zhou Zhihan followed the dormitory administrator to his dormitory.
Wang Cheng grabbed the luggage from Zhou Zhihan and said that he was tired after a long flight and needed to have a good rest.
"I'll come, I'll come!"
Li Jingxiu reached out and snatched the package from Wang Cheng's hand, "There is still one person missing in our dormitory, Zhihan is with us."
"Why!" Wang Cheng was anxious and reached out to grab it.
Li Jingxiu hid quickly: "Just because your dormitory is full, our dormitory happens to be missing one person!"
"Hey kid..."
Wang Cheng feigned anger and went after...
All the Chinese students laughed together.
Since coming to Randolph, they haven't laughed from the bottom of their hearts like they did today for a long time.
In the past three months, they had been suppressed by the Japanese students, and their morale was extremely low. Although they practiced extra every morning and evening, they were still suppressed by the Japanese and out of breath. The arrival of Zhou Zhihan swept away everything Despite the haze in people's hearts, everyone feels lifted up by the sunshine when walking, full of vitality!
There are many dormitories at Randolph Air Force Academy, but there are much fewer cadets than at West Point. There are four dormitories for every four people. The dormitories are also very spacious. There are toilets in the rooms and heating in the winter. In the summer, the windows are open and the cool breeze blows.
Li Jingxiu carried Zhou Zhihan's package to the dormitory. They all helped Zhou Zhihan make the bed, and then went to the restaurant to have breakfast together laughing and joking.
All the junior students saw Major General Pat Plouffe flying with Chinese student Zhou Zhihan and knew that this was the highest welcome ceremony the school could give to this new student.
Never before has a new student received such a high level of welcome, which shows how much the principal values this Chinese student.
When Zhou Zhihan and all the Chinese students walked into the restaurant, the atmosphere in the restaurant was very different from before. In the past, when Chinese students came to the restaurant to eat, they would be whistled by European and American students and laughed at by Japanese students from time to time.
Due to poor academic performance and insufficient international influence of the country, Chinese students have a low status in the school. They automatically sit in the corner and eat with their heads down. Today, all of them are filled with joy and unceremoniously I sat in the seat always occupied by Japanese international students.
European and American students account for the majority at Randolph Air Force Academy, so they naturally occupy the dining seats with many seats. The only Asian students are China and Japan. The number of Japanese students is less than half that of Chinese students, but because of their excellent grades , and occupied a large dining area, forcing the large number of Chinese students into a corner.
Strength often directly determines your position at the dinner table! !
Zhou Zhihan and the students did this deliberately because they wanted to issue a strong challenge to the Japanese students.
When watching Japanese people walking into the restaurant and seeing their usual dining seats occupied by Chinese students, showing resentment and helplessness, the Chinese students felt like they were drinking a cup of sweet and sour appetizer tea on a hot summer day.
This feeling.
It can only be expressed in two words.
Cool!
So cool!
This is what makes you proud!
This is a silent slap in the face!
Cool!
So cool!
All the Chinese students stood up, and under the resentful eyes of all the Japanese students, they raised their cups, replaced the wine with tea, and clinked their glasses together.
we.
Stand up!
