After crossing the 12 nautical mile line, something called aviation allowance will be generated, which is a subsidy calculated in hourly units.
Seeing that Li Hai didn't quite understand, Navigation Captain Song Jianming smiled and explained, "Brothers go out to sea and hope to go beyond the twelve nautical mile line because there is aviation support, but if you wander around within the territorial waters, you don't have the money."
Li Hai understood and nodded, "It's the same as our flight subsidy."
"Yeah." Song Jianming is a talkative and said with a smile, "Engineer squad leader Wang Fugui participated in the Gulf of Aden escort. He was among the first batch. He went there for a year and bought a house with full payment when he came back. .”
Li Hai didn't react.
Song Jianming said with envy, "I bought a house with airline subsidies. I went there when I moved. It was a four-bedroom apartment of 130 square meters, with a living room, a dining room, and front and rear balconies. Of course, Wuya's house at that time was Housing prices were not as high as they are now.”
"We calculate air support in this way. The area within a thousand kilometers is considered offshore, and the distance beyond a thousand kilometers is considered open sea. Let's put it this way, entering the Nansha Islands is considered open sea, and the north of Nansha Islands is considered offshore."
"In offshore waters, it costs 12 yuan per hour, and in far seas it costs 36 yuan. Outside the South China Sea, there are different aviation supply standards based on the nature of the mission and the situation in the sea area. At that time, Wang Fugui was one of the first to participate in the escort mission in the Gulf of Aden. The total sailing time including the round trip was one year, and I received more than 500,000 yuan in aviation allowance..."
Li Hai's eyes almost popped out, "More than half a million?"
The navigator was very pleased to see the trainee captain from the Flying Shark Force showing such an expression. Feng Qingyun smiled lightly and nodded.
This was not only because Song Jianming wanted to give Li Hai a little "color", but also because he came into contact with HNA pilots, and HNA pilots gave him the feeling of being aloof, always looking at people through their nostrils, as if they were always in the sky.
He wanted to take this opportunity to tell the trainee captains from the Naval Aviation Force - in terms of subsidies, those from our Surface Ship Force are not bad either!
Chang Haizhou explained with a smile, "During the first batch of escorts, there were no standards to refer to. Of course, this included aviation supplements, and they were the first batch to eat crabs, so the standards given at the time were relatively high, but later not only There has been no change, and the standard has been steadily rising. Wang Fugui is the backbone, and the aviation supply standard is higher. There was no base in Djibouti at that time, and the longest time it took five months to dock for supply. It was not easy to get the money. "
Li Hai really didn't know that the air supply of the surface ship force was so high.
Considering the environment that the first batch of escort fleets faced at that time, there was no reference for everything, and they had to rely on themselves to explore and overcome. The hardships involved can be imagined. It is indeed not enough for a technical master like Wang Fugui to receive a subsidy of 500,000 yuan. What kind of.
He said with emotion, "The aviation supply standard of our naval aviation force is the same as that of your surface ship force. The flying shark force is higher. After all, it is a carrier-based aircraft force and the risk factor is the highest. But in total, it is still more for you, because you Once we go to sea, it can take anywhere from half a month to half a year. No matter how much we fly, we only get a few hundred hours a year."
Hearing this sentence, Chang Haizhou frowned slightly.
Song Jianming raised his chin slightly. For the first time, he felt like he was overpowering the pilots. He thought to himself, it turns out that you pilots are not very good either.
"However, we still have rod fees, which are the same as Air Force pilots' standards. It costs about nine hundred yuan for us to drive the Flying Shark for an hour." Li Hai shook his head and added.
Song Jianming was stunned and quickly calculated in his mind. If he flew 500 hours a year, this would be 450,000, plus flight supplements...
The one who flies the plane is better... Song Jianming sighed in his heart.
Among aviation units, the subsidy standard for flying carrier-based aircraft is the highest, and the subsidy standard for carrier-based fighter pilots is the highest, which is not much different from the subsidy standard for astronauts.
During the development of the carrier-based fighter force, superiors made some adjustments to flight subsidies, giving Flying Shark pilots more protection.
This is a very real problem, and it also reflects that before this, China's carrier-based aircraft force pioneers were groping forward in a dark environment, with thorns and challenges everywhere.
A 054A without a ship number came from the open sea to the port and met the 53 ship.
They whistled to each other to greet each other.
Li Hai looked at this strange 054A and found that the ship was dusty. There were obvious rust spots on the hull. The areas without rust spots looked like a car that had been driven in a sandstorm for three days and three nights. The surface was covered with rust. A thick layer of dust. Ship 53 is leaving port, and some sailors line up on the left and right sides. It is a naval etiquette. The same is true for ships returning to port, but there is no one on the deck of 054A without a ship number.
"A new ship undergoing sea trials?" Li Hai asked curiously.
Chang Haizhou took a look, shook his head and said, "The first new young man of the SHIELD detachment, I don't know what he is doing."
"Without the ship number, how do you know which ship it is?" Li Hai asked.
Chang Haizhou said, "Feeling."
Li Hai:......
Passing by the strange 054A, Li Hai suddenly noticed some scars on the stern of the ship, and was slightly shocked. What on earth had she experienced?
Chang Haizhou and Song Jianming also noticed this situation and looked at each other. The latter whispered, "Are those signs of impact?"
"Probably, this mad cow did something again." Chang Haizhou whispered.
Li Haizheng wanted to ask clearly, but found that both of them had expressions of unwillingness to say more, and immediately gave up the idea of inquiring.
Half an hour later, after the three navigation giants gathered around the navigation chart to confirm the route, they put the 53 ship into cruising state, maintaining the speed at 16 knots. In this sailing state, fuel economy is the best.
Ship 53 cut through the waves and headed towards the South China Sea, gradually leaving the land behind. Looking around, apart from the vast sea and sky, there were only ocean-going merchant ships and fishing boats that could be encountered one after another. Among them, fishing boats were the most numerous, scattered on this precious sea. Hard work.
Throughout the day, Li Hai was learning the navigation business from Chang Haizhou and Song Jianming. Chang Haizhou found that this "airborne soldier" had a strong learning ability, especially his memory and comprehension ability.
While dining in the officers' mess in the evening, Chang Haizhou joked, "Trainee captain, your memory is the best I have ever seen. Do you have any tricks? Teach me two tricks."
Li Hai said, "It's just the basic skills of a pilot. Sometimes we have to memorize thousands of sets of data. If the memory is not up to the requirements, it will be very difficult to perform the flight mission."
The leaders of other ships expressed surprise. They had a deeper understanding of fighter pilots. Previously, they had only been exposed to helicopter pilots.
This time, a Z-9 carrier-based helicopter (Dolphin carrier-based helicopter) was carried to accompany the ship. The fuselage number was 9555. The captain was a naval colonel in his forties named Lin Mingguang, an old Dolphin.
Lin Mingguang wiped his mouth and said, "Fighter pilots have high standards, and Shark fighter pilots have even higher requirements. Captain Li is not modest. Excellent memory ability is indeed their basic skill."
With the old dolphin's explanation, everyone believed that the trainee captain was not using a self-effacing way to metaphorically express the gap in their qualities.
Chen Meng, who was sitting silently in the corner, wiped his mouth and asked, "Trainee Captain, Vice Captain Chang, have you eaten?"
The two looked at Chen Meng in confusion. Li Hai put the chopsticks on his hands, but he hadn't finished eating yet.
Chen Meng stood up and walked out. Chang Haizhou winked at Li Hai and the two followed him.
The three of them walked all the way to the cabin assigned to Chen Meng.
Ship No. 53 is an old ship, and its living conditions are far inferior to those of New Youth (054A), let alone cutting-edge air defense destroyers such as 052C and 052D. Therefore, Chen Meng lives in the captain's room. Liu Haikang was still hospitalized, so the captain's room was vacant.
Chen Meng took out the navigation chart, pointed to a small point on the South China Sea, and said, "Change the route at 22:00 on the 20th and send us here. We will conduct a day of tropical island combat training here. At 5:00 on the 22nd Pick us up again.”
Chang Haizhou could tell at a glance, "Duolan Island, how do you get up there?"
"Airplane landing." Chen Meng said.
Chang Haizhou nodded slightly and asked Li Hai, "Do you have any questions, trainee captain?"
"No problem, Deputy Commander Chen made the request, and we will provide guarantees in accordance with the request." Li Hai shook his head.
"good."
Chen Meng said, "The helicopter can only carry four team members at a time. We landed in two batches and had to complete it within 20 minutes. The time is very tight."
This was obviously meant for Li Hai, because Chang Haizhou also looked at Li Hai.
Obviously, Haite Battalion and No. 53 ship have cooperated in coordinated operations not once or twice. This old frigate has almost become the dedicated service ship of Haite Battalion.
When it comes to flying, that is Li Hai's strength. He nodded slightly and said, "If the crew can't fly, I can fly. I can fly all types of helicopters and fighter jets of the Navy."
Chen Meng was obviously surprised, and then gave a thumbs up.
It seems that this young trainee captain with a strange background is not just a showman, but he has real abilities.
Having a backup unit gives you an extra layer of protection.
As for the helicopter, sorry, ship No. 53 only carries one.
Li Hai asked, "What guarantees should we provide during your training?"
Chang Haizhou smiled happily.
This question is quite necessary.
If Li Hai didn't ask, Chang Haizhou would also ask. In this case, the impression points Li Hai just gained would be lost. As a new arrival and a temporary chief official, how to quickly establish prestige was a question facing Li Hai.
In fact, Li Hai had already noticed that most of the non-commissioned officer squad leaders below did not take him seriously. Even the cadres including Chang Haizhou thought that he came here for gilding, and after a while he left and flew back to Feisha. The troops continued to fly.
Li Hai was confused in his heart because he didn't know where he would go in the future.
Revolutionary soldiers are like bricks that need to be moved wherever they are needed. Sometimes the test of a soldier is his mental endurance.
Li Hai remembered that when he was in Hainan Airlines, the unit instructor said that if you do not have ideals and beliefs and cannot establish ideals and beliefs, you will not be able to persist in the army.
As my military years grow, my understanding of this sentence becomes more and more profound.
