After the Perth's troubles, the Coast Guard was no longer idle. They mobilized more than a dozen ships and sealed off nearly a hundred nautical miles of sea east of the no-navigation zone.
There are many ships of the Coast Guard, and there will be more and more. Of course, the largest number is in the largest sea area under its jurisdiction. Every day, there are thirty or thirty ships patrolling and enforcing the law. There are twenty or thirty ships on the road, and there are twenty or thirty ships. The boat is under maintenance.
It seems like a lot, but for a sea area of more than three million square kilometers, it is far from enough. Dumplings still have to be kept underground.
With the Coast Guard patrolling the perimeter, the drill continued as planned. Li Hai and Zhuang Xiaoying also fly at sunrise and return at sunset. They fly two sorties almost every day, and the flight hours of each sortie are about four hours.
Li Hai originally thought that the little girl Zhuang Xiaoying would not be able to handle such a high-intensity flight. But what surprised him was that Zhuang Xiaoying became more courageous as she fought, and she was able to assist Li Hai with some simple instrument operations later on.
Flying is not just a matter of steering the stick and rudder. There are hundreds of switches and buttons on the entire instrument panel, all of which must be taken into account. Not to mention other things, just switching between wave numbers requires some energy to be carried out. Large aircraft also have dedicated radio operators.
Fighter-bombers are usually two-seater, with the front cabin responsible for flying and the rear cabin responsible for weapons. The purpose is to separate the weapons work and reduce the burden on the pilot in the front cabin. There have been countless examples of unsatisfactory attack results due to the inability to take both control and shooting into account.
No matter how advanced the weapons and equipment are, they still need people to control them, and the effects they exert in the hands of people of different levels are different. This sentence is correct.
Therefore, the country has elevated the development of the field of artificial intelligence to a strategic level.
Everyone admired Zhuang Xiaoying's performance, and Li Hai even joked that she could participate in the recruitment. This girl has some talent.
After the "Perth" incident, the simulated blue army never came to cause trouble again. It’s not because of lack of strength. To put it into perspective, the simulated blue army has two aircraft carrier battle groups in the Asia-Pacific region alone. This is not something our army can match.
What really turned them off was that from the "Perth" incident, they saw the determination of our army, and naturally they did not dare to come over easily to cause trouble again. They have also figured out the temper of our army, and they can use whatever they want during normal confrontation drills, but our army will definitely not be polite if they cause chaos in an important military activity such as the annual exercise.
Another thing is that the strength of the Third Fleet is stronger than all the navies of the entire European (except Russia) countries combined. It is amazing to completely offend them.
Li Hai and Zhuang Xiaoying worked according to the shooting plan until the eighteenth day of the exercise, flying for 120 hours, which was almost half of the annual flight training hour standard required by the outline!
On this day, Zhuang Xiaoying and Li Hai carried their flight helmets and walked to the flight briefing room as usual. The setting sun in the west was already half below the sea level. The afterglow was shining over them. At dusk, the two people walking side by side became more and more familiar. They look like heroic men and women returning from war.
Zhuang Xiaoying saw Li Hai grinning from time to time and asked, "Why are you so happy when you think of something good?"
"As of today, our flight hours are 120 hours." Li Hai's happiness was beyond words.
Zhuang Xiaoying said "Oh" and felt nothing.
Li Hai was a little helpless and immediately explained, "Don't your company also give you a flight subsidy? After all, it is a high-risk job."
"Yes, two hundred yuan an hour." Zhuang Xiaoying still didn't react.
It's only two hundred yuan, not much.
Li Hai said, "One hundred and twenty hours is equivalent to twenty-four thousand. You made twenty-four thousand in eighteen days, big sister."
"Huh, huh?" Zhuang Xiaoying came to her senses, stopped, and looked at Li Hai in astonishment, her beautiful lips opening wider and wider.
Li Hai laughed.
"Twenty-four thousand!" Zhuang Xiaoying whispered, covering her mouth subconsciously.
She has been working for less than three years, and her monthly salary is seven to eight thousand, which is equivalent to nearly a quarter's salary!
"No, there are still six days to go. It's no problem to break through 30,000." Li Hai said with a smile.
Zhuang Xiaoying couldn't accept it, "Why are there so many..."
She didn't take this subsidy to heart, nor did her employer take it to heart, because there were very few reporters who could fly with the military planes over the years, and the first person to get this subsidy was not. More, and another one is, who flies for hundreds of hours at a time? It’s amazing that a flight lasts three to five hours, which is a subsidy of thousands of yuan.
As time goes by, everyone’s concept ends here—a subsidy of thousands of dollars. This money is naturally not much.
I never expected to meet such a crazy airplane operator as Li Hai, flying nearly eight hours a day! Zhuang Xiaoying had preconceptions, and of course she would not associate it with subsidies. It was only after Li Hai reminded her that she suddenly realized.
That's really what happened!
The subsidy alone for this business trip is more than 30,000 yuan!
It is estimated that her unit did not expect such a situation.
In fact, the reason is quite simple. First of all, the CCTV did not know that the army would cooperate so vigorously. Secondly, the shooting plan had been revised several times, and the changes were led by the army. Of course CCTV wanted it, and no one subsidized this aspect. think.
Of course, CCTV does not lack this amount of money, but Zhuang Xiaoying's business trip subsidy will definitely cause a wave of waves in the unit.
"You are also a little rich woman." Li Hai said with a smile, and he and Zhuang Xiaoying continued to walk to the flight briefing room.
Zhuang Xiaoying smiled brightly, but said, "What kind of rich woman is she if she can't afford a toilet in the capital with all her savings?"
She suddenly asked, "By the way, how many do you have?"
Li Hai's smile deepened and he could walk much stronger. "A little more than you, our flight subsidy is relatively high. In fact, the same is true for civil aviation. The basic salary is not much, but the flight subsidy is a big part. We are the naval aviation force, and here are the islands and reefs , a step on the accelerator means you are heading out to sea, so there is a sea supplement."
"Can it be understood that if you fly a plane, you will get two subsidies for flying a plane and driving a ship?" Zhuang Xiaoying is smart and immediately grasped the key point.
Li Hai smiled and said, "That's okay to understand. Our environment is relatively more dangerous."
But isn't it? There is not even an alternate landing station in the vast sea. Even if something goes wrong, even if you parachute successfully, you may not be able to survive. As soon as the air force pilot takes off, one foot steps on the gate of hell. As soon as the navy pilot takes off, half of his body is on the other side of the gate of hell.
Zhuang Xiaoying recalled the various dangers she had experienced in the past few days, and suddenly felt that it was difficult to get the money. It’s hard to get the country’s money, and it’s even harder to get the military’s money. Every penny spent by the troops is subject to strict standards.
Li Hai strongly feels that his wallet is growing day by day. In addition to flight subsidies and sea subsidies, there are also subsidies for remote areas, subsidies for islands and reefs, higher food subsidies, higher housing subsidies, high temperature subsidies... there are more than a dozen kinds of them. , if you are a female soldier, there is also a monthly health fee, which is fifty yuan in general areas and more than a hundred on islands and reefs.
All in all, as long as you can stay on the islands and reefs, the military will find various ways to increase your income through subsidies.
But how many people can live on a small island thousands of kilometers away from the mainland of their motherland? Ten new officers are assigned, and it would be good to have two take the initiative to stay after one year.
The conditions of Forgettable Reef are considered to be good. Those islands and reefs that are much smaller in area are such a place where the roar can be heard on the entire island and reef. Those who can stick in are the unsung heroes, even if they eat enough, sleep and wake up to eat every day.
This kind of life is no different from confinement.
It is true that the Navy has money, but its expenses are also high. Not to mention hardware, personnel expenses alone account for nearly half. For example, in the submarine force, everyone sees the enviable income of submarine soldiers, but most people don't know how much submarine soldiers have to pay for it.
If you dive underwater, you won't be able to come back within three or two months. Nuclear-powered submarines are even worse, often requiring long voyages of more than half a year.
Why is there a law on military marriage protection that completely subverts the principle of legal fairness? Otherwise, soldiers would be supporting other people's wives.
Shi Leilei's conditions were good enough. His family was a small and wealthy family in the local area, and he was a deputy corps cadre of a lieutenant colonel. Even so, there is a problem with the marriage. Without the protection of military marriage, the green oil on his head might be enough to repaint the J-15.
Zhuang Xiaoying stayed at Forgotten Reef for eighteen days, and she undoubtedly felt the deepest. From being an outsider to integrating into the life of this island, she felt deeply the huge gap. This is a big drill, and all units on the entire island are in a wartime state. Everyone's adrenaline is soaring, and the pace of life is completely different from the past.
Even so, she still felt lonely and tired. One can imagine how these officers and soldiers who stayed on the islands and reefs for a year, two or even more than ten years persevered without any spiritual support. Absolutely impossible.
Zhuang Xiaoying was not afraid of flying at first, because she didn't understand it. Only after understanding and experiencing it can we realize the dangers involved. This is the so-called fearlessness of those who do not know.
The longer time passes, the more she admires the officers and soldiers who have been stationed on the islands and reefs for a long time, especially the pilots. Thinking about it this way, she felt that a mere tens of thousands of yuan in flight subsidies was really nothing.
After dinner, Xue Zhengrong presided over the meeting as usual, leaving Li Hai and Zhuang Xiaoying behind, and asked, "Two-thirds of the exercise is over, how are you doing with the materials for the recruitment video?"
This is also a big deal and cannot be taken lightly. The group demands to enter the finals, guarantee three places and compete for one, at least get third place in the navy, and strive to be adopted. If you get first place, you will naturally be adopted.
This is a great honor, and no army will not strive for it.
Li Hai said, "Xiaoying's copywriting has been finalized. Many of the previous shots can be used. The next five days will be the live firing stage, and a few more shots will be enough."
Zhuang Xiaoying said, "I will help make the film before I leave. There are professional editors in the team."
"Okay, okay." Xue Zhengrong was very satisfied.
He brought up the next topic and asked Li Hai, "Is it okay for you to fly to Susan0?"
"No problem." Li Hai said, "Want to change planes?"
Xue Zhengrong said, "After the exercise, the aircraft and personnel will be deployed immediately. The division plans to send two aircraft over first, and we will conduct live ammunition shooting first to familiarize ourselves with the situation. There were no opportunities to fire live ammunition a year ago, and the division does not want to wait any longer. Two months.”
It is already the retirement season. The veterans on the islands have delayed their retirement due to the big drills. However, no matter how delayed, they will leave the team before the Spring Festival. Next came the recruitment of new recruits into the army. The stage of transition between old and new is mainly about recruit training and political education. The army will not start training for the new year until after the Spring Festival.
Come and go, at least two months.
In other words, after the Su-30 fleet and personnel are replenished, there will basically be no live-fire training. The division is not willing to conduct live-fire after the training starts next year. It will use the big drill to fire a few hard shots first, at least to let Xue Zhengrong The three backbones, Li Hai and Dang Weimin, were asked to familiarize themselves with the live-fire shooting of the new model.
Xue Zhengrong flew the J-11B when he was in the Western Falcon Brigade. Li Hai and Dang Weimin flew the J-15. It is not difficult to modify the Su-30MK2. The three models are all born from the same parents. Not to say they are exactly the same, at least there is no big difference in terms of operation.
After Li Hai figured it out, he asked, "Aren't the people assigned to the division new members?"
If they are not new members, it does not seem to make much sense to let the three backbones modify the -30MK2 in advance.
"Is it possible that I will give you an experienced pilot?"
Li Hai smiled and said, "That's true."
Zhuang Xiaoying interjected, "Then change the copy and shoot some first visual shots of Su Sanling's battle. Feibao's cockpit still doesn't look good."
She is also knowledgeable. The cockpit of the JH-7A is not ugly, but it is definitely not as clean and beautiful as it is. In fact, what she was embarrassed to say was that the cockpit of the JH-7A was too unreliable. It would be better if it had the sci-fi style of the J-20.
Li Hai immediately became happy and said, "The one we want to receive is Su Sanling."
"Yes, Su Sanling." Zhuang Xiaoying didn't understand.
Li Hai had to explain to her, "Su Sanling's cockpit is uglier than Feibao's."
"Ah?" Zhuang Xiaoying suddenly lost her mind, "Isn't Su Sanling very powerful? He is a world-famous machine?"
Li Hai said, "It is an old aircraft that is nearly 20 years old. It is the first batch of aircraft introduced by our army. Its cockpit is not much better than that of the J-8F. The Flying Leopard still has one level and three times. You have seen it before. It's the J-11 BS, it looks the same on the outside, but it's completely different on the inside."
He said it politely. From a visual point of view, the cockpit layout of those Su-30MK2s was really not much better than the J-8F.
Li Hai said with a smile, "It has no impact on the shooting. It's all about mosaic anyway."
Zhuang Xiaoying was stunned for a moment and then smiled, "Yeah..."
