Mixing fixed-wing aircraft and rotary-wing aircraft brings many more problems than mixing multiple aircraft types. First of all, ensuring this is a big problem.
Liu Chengjun said, "Not to mention whether it is necessary to incorporate helicopters. How to solve the logistics support? If two helicopters are incorporated, in order to protect these two helicopters, I have to put a support squadron here. Is it worth it? Furthermore, we Is it the fighter unit, where do the helicopters and related personnel come from? Xiao Li, what do you think about it? "
Since it was brought up, Li Hai was naturally prepared.
In fact, he had been discussing with Zhao Feiyan and Zhan Yuntian for a long time.
Li Hai said, "I think it can be solved by referring to the organization method of the ship-based helicopter unit. Treat the Forgotten Reef as a destroyer or even an aircraft carrier, and adopt a ship-based organization instead of a conventional shore-based station organization. Even, Support personnel can also make use of the independent maintenance group through training."
"After a lot of data analysis, I believe that three to five helicopters should be permanently stationed at the Forgotten Reef Airport, and mixed with multiple types of helicopters. Even if it takes up some fighter aircraft, it is necessary. In this way, even if it is based on the shore base station There will be no waste of resources if we organize the support team."
He glanced at Xue Zhengrong again and continued, "As for where the helicopters and personnel will come from. This is what I think. It would be best to buy new ones. If not, it would also be okay to receive second-hand goods from the Navy's search and rescue force."
"The air crew..." He looked at Zhao Feiyan and Zhan Yuntian and said, "Our other two temporary pilots, Comrade Zhao Feiyan and Zhan Yuntian, are carrier-based helicopter pilots. They can be responsible for the transition period and serve as instructors... "
Liu Chengjun raised his hand to interrupt Li Hai, "Wait a minute, you mean to ask the pilots of the Independent Brigade to learn to modify helicopters to be responsible for the flight of two completely different aircraft at the same time?"
Li Hai felt a little embarrassed, "Yes..."
This is unexpected.
Moreover, there is no precedent for this.
There are cases where helicopter pilots become fighter pilots; there are cases when fighter pilots become helicopter pilots (there are reports of female fixed-wing aircraft pilots becoming helicopter pilots); there are cases where fighter pilots become drone operators.
The only thing is that there are no pilots who are both fighter jets and helicopters.
What kind of family is this?
Most importantly, fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters are driven completely differently - one lever is pulled to climb, the other lever is pressed to climb, completely opposite.
Liu Chengjun smiled and shook his head. He didn't know whether he was rejecting Li Hai's suggestion or expressing his helplessness. He thought about it and said, "Okay, I understand your opinion. Please sit down."
It's cool, Li Hai thought to himself, but he wasn't very disappointed. He himself knew that it was unlikely.
If helicopters are to be permanently stationed at Forgotten Reef, there is a high probability that another detachment will be drawn from the helicopter force, just like the independent brigade was drawn from the sea and air force.
After the work meeting, everyone had lunch, and then the first brigade party committee meeting was held in the afternoon. Previously it was a squadron, and the party organization was the party branch. Now that the army has been upgraded to a battalion-level brigade, the party organization must be upgraded. Liu Chengjun is a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, and he has no problem presiding over the meeting.
After announcing the establishment of the Independence Brigade Party Committee, elections were held immediately.
Liu Chengjun turned over Li Hai's personal information and said, "Comrade Li Hai did research on party history while in school and has rich experience in ideological and political affairs. Comrade Li Hai was recommended by the Youth League Party Committee and approved by the Division Party Committee to appoint Comrade Li Hai as the Party Secretary of the Independent Brigade. High official."
Except for Xue Zhengrong, who knew in advance, everyone else was shocked.
Oh my god, a senior party official!
Although he is the smallest senior party official, he is still a powerful figure in the party!
Party for the People's eyes were about to pop out, and I thought to myself, Lao Li really had the foresight. If I had known, I would have followed him to the School of Marxism to take classes and do some ideological and political research when I was in school.
Others were even more surprised. They looked at Xue Zhengrong and then at Li Hai. From now on, Brother Danzi, a new recruit in the party, will be the leader of Xue Da!
Li Hai, who didn't know anything about it, was immediately dumbfounded. Being appointed as the deputy captain was already an unexpected blessing. Here comes another high-ranking party official...
He suddenly felt that at a young age, he had to bear many important responsibilities that should not be expected at this age.
At his level, it was difficult to be even a branch secretary, but he suddenly jumped up a level and directly became a senior official of the camp party. This is very "nice".
At this point, several main duties of the independent brigade have been clarified. Xue Zhengrong is the captain and instructor of the brigade, Li Hai is the senior party official and deputy captain of the brigade, Dang Weimin is the captain of the first squadron, Zhao Feiyan is the captain of the second squadron, and Zhan Yuntian is the captain of the third squadron.
There are five pilots in total, all leaders...
The heads of other departments couldn't help but grin when they thought of this. What kind of magical independent brigade is this? There are no fucking officers in the air service department.
But everyone can see that this is to prepare for the expansion in the near future. Just put up the shelf and continue to fill it with people.
What many people find puzzling is that Zhao Feiyan and Zhan Yuntian have not yet started their solo careers, and are not even considered new recruits, so they have assumed the position of squadron leader, which is somewhat inappropriate.
It's just that there is nothing we can do about it. The army is short of pilots. New pilots have not kept up with the transition of old pilots, and those who have reached the age limit have been grounded.
The higher-level leadership has a new positioning of the Forgotten Reef, but it does not mean that it is listed as a priority development unit. Under such circumstances, we can only fill a few major holes one at a time. This is also a kind of pressure for Zhao Feiyan and Zhan Yuntian - if the modification training cannot meet the standards, let alone the position of squadron leader, they may not even be able to fly the aircraft.
The shock and surprise were momentary. After everyone calmed down, they immediately thought of another point - four of the five current pilots in the independent group were on temporary duty. In other words, all four positions will be vacant within a year at most.
Perhaps the higher-level leadership agencies are so "generous" because of this.
Liu Chengjun looked at Li Hai and said with a smile, "The Forgotten Reef is more than a thousand kilometers away from the mainland and is located in the tropical ocean. The work of ideological education is more important. It is necessary for comrades to do a good job in training and Life. Secretary Li, your burden is very heavy!"
"Yes...yes!" Li Hai stood up suddenly, his face red, and said, "I will do my best to help my comrades live a good life!"
The twenty-three-year-old senior official of the brigade party is really too young. The division party committee was not without doubts during the discussion. Li Hai's status as a temporary cadre played a big role, and it was finally passed with a high vote. Liu Chengjun couldn't help but wonder, if Li Hai was from the Eighth Hai Division, would the division party committee make the same decision?
In fact, he disagreed in his heart. Flying well did not mean that he was doing good ideological work, not to mention he was so young.
All in all, it's a good idea.
