Chapter 72 The Tomcat enters service

Since the founding of the Republic, the east, west, south, and north have fought all over the east, west, south, and north. The army has always been fighting independently. The air force republic has long been destroyed. Therefore, Xiong Weixin is not like Liang Yuan. He wanders around F14 every day, except for routine exercises every morning, and has been staying in the dormitory provided by HNA.

"Uncle Weixin has been staying in the dormitory over there." Liang Yuan raised his hand and pointed to the barracks near the entrance of the airport.

Liang Yuan has been looking for an opportunity to see the cockpit of F14 these days, but unfortunately the guards guarding the airport didn't know that this thing was bought by Liang Yuan. It would be okay to look honestly a hundred meters away. If you get closer, you would definitely persuade him to leave without hesitation.

HNA arranged a single barracks for Liang Yuan and Xiong Weixin, the only way to reflect that this room is used for reception. The upper and lower bunks in the room are not common iron pipe beds for the troops, but are made of logs with fences painted with varnish.

Xiong Weixin was sitting at the head of the bed reading a book. When he saw Ning Lei coming in behind Liang Yuan, he quickly put down the book and reached out to take the luggage from Ning Lei's hand.

"I thought the team leader would be here a few days ago." Xiong Weixin still called Ning Lei in his original method.

"In the past few days, Xiaoyuan is talking about when the team leader will come." Xiong Weixin said with a smile.

"You must be fine if you talk about Uncle Ning." Ning Lei looked at Liang Yuan with a smile.

"Uncle Ning's statement is really sad. After all, I got that thing back." Liang Yuan nodded to the F14 fighter jets parked in sequence on the runway far outside the window.

Ning Lei laughed, rubbed Liang Yuan's hair and said, "Tell me, what do you want to do?"

"I originally wanted to see the cockpit of the F14 fighter, but I was driven out by the airport guards countless times. Didn't HNA tell the people below that I was their big financial backer?"

Ning Lei ignored Liang Yuan's complaint and asked curiously: "Xiaoyuan, what do you want to see the cockpit of F14?"

Liang Yuan can't say that he was an old military fan who had been in the forum for eight or nine years in his previous life. Although he was very familiar with the performance data and various gossips of the F14 fighter, the real guy never met at first. He asked to see the cockpit was purely a joy to see the hunter.

"Of course, it is to save aircraft maintenance costs. Let's see which American companies provide the components of the F14 fighter's airborne electronic equipment, and then see if the chip laboratory in the Science and Technology Park can be copied." Liang Yuan said righteously.

Ning Lei could not figure out the extremely complex electronics problem. He usually heard Tang Wan mention that the chip laboratory in Nanhu Science and Technology Park burned a lot of funds. In two years, he invested 90 million in R&D expenses alone, but he also produced many good results. Therefore, after listening to Liang Yuan's statement, Ning Lei directly believed Liang Yuan's statement.

"Uncle Ning came to Hainan this time mainly to form HNA's long-range strike force. After the F14 fighter jet enlistment ceremony, the Navy will then establish the Chinese Navy's long-range aviation force. Uncle Ning will temporarily serve as the commander of this force. After the F14 is officially delivered to the troops, Uncle Ning will take you to see it."

Seeing that the goal was successfully achieved, Liang Yuan smiled and nodded repeatedly.

While the three of them were talking, they heard a sound of firecrackers coming from the back of the terminal away from the runway. Ning Lei looked out the window and said with a smile: "Xiaoyuan, Uncle Ning will attend the long-range aviation establishment ceremony later. You'd better stay in the room honestly and think about how to deal with Mr. Geng at night."

Liang Yuan could only nod his head with a bitter face when he heard this.

After a while, Ning Lei, who had put his luggage, went to attend the establishment ceremony of the Navy's long-range aviation force. Liang Yuan was in the room thinking about how to deal with Geng Qinghua at night.

I leaned on the bed and carefully recalled General Geng Qinghua's resume in his previous life, and then thought about the process of negotiating with Grumman. It was not until the evening that I straightened my thoughts.

Liang Yuan, who was putting his worries, was about to call Xiong Weixin to go to the cafeteria for dinner, but heard the sound of the familiar fighter engine outside the window, and lay down by the window and looked. Liang Yuan found an F14 fighter leaving the door of the hangar to glide on the runway.

"Uncle Weixin, Uncle Ning is going to test fly f14." Liang Yuan said, "After saying that, he jumped out of the bed and ran out of the barracks.

The ground staff resting in the barracks ran out after hearing the sound of the plane's engine. In a blink of an eye, Liang Yuan was surrounded by crowds watching the fun.

The f14 fighter, which was scoring to the middle of the runway, moved a few wings, changed to swept wings and made several retracting actions, and finally fixed it at the position with the largest opening angle. As the engine sound gradually became louder, the f14 began to accelerate along the runway.

After hiking less than three hundred meters on the runway, the fighter's nose slowly raised up, and with the orange-red flames coming out of the tail nozzle, the f14 fighter rose from the ground, and pierced the sky at an angle of nearly 70 degrees.

After climbing to a certain height, f14 made a series of hovering, rolling, diving, and somersaults one after another. Due to conditions near the airport, Ning Lei's flight speed was very slow, and the main wing of f14 was always open at a high angle.

"It's nothing. It seems that there is no difference between it and J-6." Someone around Liang Yuan was talking.

When Ning Lei used a very slow speed to make a small speed pass at an altitude lower than the terminal, the discussion came to an abrupt end, that speed. Whether it was the J-6, J-7, or J-8, it had already fallen down. The big guy who completed this action weighed 25 and 6 tons, and it caught up with the four J-7s. This pass revealed the superior low-speed and low-altitude performance of the F14 fighter.

Ning Lei flew for more than 40 minutes this time. It was not until it was completely dark that he completed the night landing under the guidance of the airport lights. Liang Yuan sighed with satisfaction as he looked at the f14 that was slowly approaching the hangar with a flashing navigation light. Uncle Ning started a shot this time. Not to mention the performance of the fighter jet, a single jet landing at night is enough to be on the military newspaper.

In the 1980s, Republic pilots who could perform all-weather combat readiness were all treasures in the sea and the air force, and they were definitely one of the few elites.

When I went to the cafeteria to have dinner at night, the people in the cafeteria were talking about the low-altitude and small-speed tray that Ning Lei made. In addition to pilots and ground crews, they were all very familiar with the performance of the aircraft. The excellent low-speed performance represents what everyone knows, and there is no sound of comparing the f14 and the J-6.

It was not until Liang Yuan returned to the room after dinner that Ning Lei returned to the barracks from the hangar.

"Uncle Ning, the flight is so beautiful. I want to take the Air Force and Uncle Ning to learn to fly." Liang Yuan stretched out his thumb and shook it hard.

"Xiaoyuan, don't think about this. If Uncle Ning brings you into the Air Force, his life will be sad in the future. Your Aunt Ning will never agree." Ning Lei shook his head and said.

Tang Wan has always wanted to train Liang Yuan to become a public servant of the Republic and work hard towards more than a hundred positions in the Politburo. She would never allow Ning Lei to destroy his plan and bring Liang Yuan into the Air Force.

Thinking about it, Tang Wan is not opposed to her own business, which is a proven ability. In addition, the politics and economy have never been separated, so Tang Wan is very supportive of such things. If it were replaced by a flying fighter, it would probably be a big deal. If it were not considered other things, I would never agree to the flight risk.

Looking at Liang Yuan's dejected look, Ning Lei smiled and said, "Go to see Mr. Geng first. If you can ask the old man to support you, you will have some chance to convince you Aunt Ning in the future."

Geng Qinghua did not live in a barracks near the airport entrance. Instead, he lived in the terminal building, a room dedicated to reception and rest.

Ning Lei took Liang Yuan into the terminal, climbed up to the second floor and turned around the corner to a brown wooden door. Ning Lei raised his hand and knocked. A person who looked like a secretary opened the door. It was Ning Lei who hurriedly said, "The Chief is waiting for you in the middle."

Liang Yuan followed Ning Lei and entered the inner room. An old man with a thin face was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. Liang Yuan looked carefully and found that Geng Qinghua and his previous life saw almost the same thing as what he saw in the photo.

"Uncle Geng, I have brought you and me. If you have any questions about this machine purchase negotiation, you can ask the initiator if you have any questions." Ning Lei said with a smile.

After putting down the newspaper and looking at Liang Yuan for a long time, Geng Qinghua said, "I often guessed what a boy who was hiding behind the scenes and quietly promoted such a big thing should look like. Now it seems that he is different from ordinary people. It is in line with the old saying that heroes have made young people since ancient times."

Liang Yuan is different from the sportswear, blue, green military uniforms, quora tops, bell-bottom pants and other clothing that are commonly worn by mainstream or non-mainstream teenagers in China. He only wears a pair of light blue jeans and a simple white pure cotton T-shirt. With a pair of white sneakers, he looks very much like an ordinary college student in later generations.

"Most of the things others do. I just start to move my mouth. But I am young and the adults are embarrassed to compete with me for anything. As a result, the credit is piled up on my head, but I can't bear Mr. Geng's praise." Liang Yuan said embarrassedly.

Liang Yuan knew that Geng Qinghua was willing to see him privately because of Tang Wan and Ning Lei. This was also the beginning of Tang Wan's plan to integrate himself into the high-ranking circle. Without the relationship between Ning Lei and Tang Wan, it would be no good for businessmen with two big heads. Even in later generations, whether in China or the United States, capital wants to be invincible, it must first add the word "power" in front, otherwise it will be a fat pig to be slaughtered.

Therefore, Liang Yuan did not climb up and called Grandpa Geng. If he wanted to get the recognition and respect of that circle, he had to be respectful first.

Geng Qinghua laughed when he heard this. The little guy Tang Wan said was indeed correct. He was too old to know the three things that he had hidden his shortcomings.

"Little guy, I heard that this donation was your idea?" Geng Qinghua asked with a smile.

Liang Yuan shook his head and said, "This idea is not my decision. After the 3/14 naval battle in Nansha a few days ago, my father and Uncle Ning often mentioned that the Soviet Red Army was beaten to a mess by us on Zhenbao Island. Now, Vietnam is just a delusion to want our island..."

Liang Yuan not only took himself out of the whole incident and washed himself to the point of being white, but also cunningly put the credit on the heads of Ning Lei and Comrade Lao Liang.

If you recognize this credit yourself, you can make a young and promising praise, which will be different from being thrown on Ning Lei and Comrade Lao Liang. Although the organization has been tight in recent years and will not reimburse Comrade Lao Liang and Ning Lei, moving at level is definitely a natural thing.

With Ning Lei's qualifications, he has long been promoted to the university as a division commander. Over the years, he has been in real trouble twice. He is still a mixed regiment-level cadre and is even better than a soldier with ordinary backgrounds. The company commander who led Liang Jiangping and Ning Lei's counterattack against Zhenbao Island was already a major general.

If Comrade Lao Liang could become the director of the branch, Liang Yuan could be considered a real young man, instead of the local tycoon who can only cover the square in front of the railway station. With a young and promising praise, how could he turn himself into a middle-level team? Liang Yuan's little abacus is so good.

Liang Yuan flattered Ning Lei beside him very embarrassed. After Liang Yuan finished speaking, he quickly said to Geng Qinghua: "Uncle Geng, don't listen to Xiaoyuan's nonsense. This matter was not the decision made by Liang Jiangping and I."

"No matter who you made the decision, no matter what, you and Comrade Liang Jiangping did a good job of teaching by words and deeds." Geng Qinghua said with a smile.

The atmosphere of the conversation was very good. Liang Yuan really couldn't understand the preferences of Mr. Geng in front of him. Liang Yuan considered the memories of his past life and simply revealed some aircraft carriers, carrier-based aircraft that the US Navy has been half open but cannot be collected by the Republic, including the US Navy's deduction of future naval warfare forms.

Of course, Liang Yuan fell on Zhang Jianxin, who works at AIA.

Liang Yuan's topic was as if it had touched Geng Qinghua's itchy spot. The old and the young threw Ning Lei aside and chatted until late at night. Finally, Geng Qinghua's secretary knocked on the door several times in a row to remind the old man to go to rest. Geng Qinghua let Ning Lei and Liang Yuan go back to the room.

The next day, Geng Qinghua, who had finished his inspection work, returned to Peiping by military plane in the morning.

After Geng Qinghua left, Ning Lei, the captain of the Navy's long-range aviation brigade, automatically became the highest commander of Lingshui Airport. Ning Lei agreed to Liang Yuan's original intention of donating aircraft plan was to solve the Nansha issue.

Due to the tense situation in Nansha, after seeing off Geng Qinghua, Ning Lei issued a series of instructions, and the atmosphere of the entire Lingshui base changed. The slogans celebrating the entry of the F14 fighter jet were quickly unloaded from the terminal building. The red silk hanging on the dome of the bunker-style hanger was also replaced by a large area of ​​green military camouflage nets. Soon, the entire Lingshui Airport entered a state of combat readiness.
