my bright sword career

"Existential air force?"

Gao Hongming couldn't help but be surprised. Is this term starting to appear now?

But it doesn't matter whether he shows up or not. Since the other party has this request, all he needs to do is agree or refuse.

He thought for a while, "Commissar Zhao, it's not that I, Gao Hongming, look down on you.

With all due respect, shouldn't your army send a higher-level person to talk to me about such a major matter?
For example, Commander Liu of your army or a certain head of the headquarters, not a regimental-level political commissar like you. "

Before Zhao Gang could speak, Li Yunlong on the side was a little unhappy, and since he had just drank some wine, he immediately stood up and said displeasedly.

"Brother Gao, what do you mean? Do you look down on us old brothers?

Isn't it just a few planes? Lao Ding, Lao Kong and I came together to talk to you. Isn't that sincere enough?Do you still have to ask the head of our headquarters to come and talk to you?
In terms of rank, you are also the leader of a militia group, and we are regiment-level cadres of the Eighth Route Army. We all communicate on an equal footing.

What's the matter, why do you have to ask our division commander or the head of the headquarters to come and talk to you? "

"Ok!"

After listening to Li Yunlong's words, Gao Hongming's face instantly sank.

When Ding Wei, Kong Jie and others saw Gao Hongming's expression, they immediately knew something was going to happen.

The two men quickly grabbed Li Yunlong's arms and forced him down.

Zhao Gang also shouted at Li Yunlong: "Old Li, what are you talking nonsense about? I am talking about business with Captain Gao. Why are you yelling? Why don't you apologize to Captain Gao quickly!"

"Apologise...what are you apologizing for...what did I do wrong, why should I apologize?" Li Yunlong, who was a little drunk, shouted unconvincingly, "We traveled all night to get here just to see him, and he is Is this how you treat your friends?"

Gao Hongming was even more upset, but he also knew that Li Yunlong himself had a hard-charging temper, let alone him, even with old comrades like Ding Wei and Kong Jie who had known each other for decades.

Thinking of this, his expression slowly softened.

Ding Wei quickly raised his glass: "Captain Gao, I'm really sorry. Lao Li drank too much and his mouth was full of excrement. You can't argue with him.

This cup is my apology to you on behalf of Lao Li. "

After saying that, he raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp, then tilted the empty glass upside down for a gesture.

"That's right... Captain Gao, Lao Li is a dog-faced person. He will show his teeth at others. Just think of him as drunk and farting like crazy. Don't be angry.

I also apologize to you on his behalf. "

After saying that, he raised his wine glass and made a "squeak" sound, taking a sip.

Seeing the actions of Ding Wei and Kong Jie, Gao Hongming's expression also softened.

He looked at them and said, "Captain Ding, Commander Kong, and Political Commissar Zhao, let me tell you the truth. I really didn't mean to embarrass you.

This air force is no better than infantry. Each person can go to the battlefield with a rifle and five rounds of ammunition. As long as they survive a few battles, the new recruits can quickly evolve into veterans.

Apart from anything else, training a fighter pilot requires funds equivalent to the pilot's weight in gold.

Don’t believe me yet…let me tell you in detail. "

Gao Hongming looked at Ding Wei and the rest of the group with expressions like "I don't study well, so don't lie to me." He said helplessly. “In terms of selecting a pilot...first of all, the pilot must have at least a junior high school education or above. This is a rigid basic condition.

Secondly, you must check his physical fitness, including vision, blood pressure, whether there is a family history of genetics, whether he has had any surgery, etc.

Let's put it this way, for this aspect alone, at most one or two out of a hundred soldiers are qualified. "

"My dear, you are not so strict in choosing your son-in-law." Kong Jie's eyes widened.

"Yan? This is only the first step."

Gao Hongming continued: "In addition, the food of pilots is also different from that of ordinary infantry.

As eagles soaring in the blue sky, they must consume enough nutrients every day, so their food must keep up.

Eggs, milk, chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep and other kinds of meat are indispensable. Don't think that giving them pumpkin porridge and batter every day will make them fight in the sky like infantry.

Let's put it this way, if they don't eat enough, let alone fight when they go up to the sky, even during flight training, the plane may fall from the sky due to lack of physical strength.

Don’t think I’m being alarmist. This is a lesson learned by countless pilots with countless blood and lives.

In addition, let’s also calculate the price of each fighter jet, which is hundreds of thousands of oceans, the price of parts, fuel, ammunition, etc.

Let's put it this way, if we really calculate it strictly, your Eighth Route Army's annual military expenditure may not be able to afford a squadron of aircraft.

But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that our country lacks the most basic industrial capabilities. As a kind of war machine, aircraft are bound to suffer losses. Once they are damaged, how can you guarantee that there will be enough? What about replenishing aircraft to the army? "

Looking at the stunned few people, Gao Hongming looked at Li Yunlong again.

"Lao Li, how many of the problems I mentioned just now do you think you, the leader of the independent group, can solve?"

Li Yunlong was already confused and muttered for a long time.

"Damn it, let alone me, I'm afraid even the deputy commander is scratching his head with these questions, right?"

Gao Hongming looked at Zhao Gang again: "Political Commissar Zhao, is there anything you want to tell me?"

Gao Hongming knew that Zhao Gang was a top student who graduated from Tsinghua University, the highest institution in China, and he must be stronger than the boss Li Yunlong in dealing with these issues.

Zhao Gang pondered for a long time before he said sincerely: "Captain Gao, I can't tell you the specific things in too much detail.

All I can say is that of course our senior management has taken what you mentioned into consideration, and they have their own considerations, so you don’t have to worry too much. "

Gao Hongming showed a meaningful look: "Since you have said so, I will no longer advise you."

"Okay, let's talk business. Which aircraft do you plan to buy? How much is the quantity and how many parts are needed? You can make a detailed list for me so that I can give you a quotation."

"We don't know these things, so we'd better ask Commander Gao to make a list for us and quote a total price, and then I'll report it to my superiors. What do you think?"

"Okay, since you said so, with our relationship for so many years, I must help you with this.

Let's do this. After dinner, I will arrange for you to stay. I will hand over the list to you tomorrow at the latest. "

"Great, I'll trouble you then."
