Chapter 111 Three Tons of Aviation Fuel
Carrying two bottles of good wine, Li Zhan took advantage of the darkness and came to the station director's residence. He stood in the cold wind and shivered for a while. He looked back at the camouflage cheetah car not far away and knocked on the door.
The best family courtyard of the station is used by the station. It is located at the foot of the mountain, adjacent to a small lake, surrounded by straight tropical trees. In autumn, golden leaves cover the grass, which is beautiful. There are several large vaulted houses in the middle, each with an area of almost 200 square meters. In other words, they are luxury houses in scenic spots.
It takes half an hour to walk from the accommodation area next to the flight area. Li Zhan has nothing to do. He is not qualified to be equipped with a car. It is not suitable for many people to know about this matter tonight, so he can only do it quietly. .
When someone opened the door, Li Zhan immediately smiled, stood at attention and saluted, "Hello, Station Master Zheng!"
"Hello, who are you?" The person who opened the door was a middle-aged cadre with a thick neck and a big head. He was wearing home clothes and a military coat.
Li Zhan replied, "Reporting to stationmaster Zheng, my name is Li Zhan. I am Kuangmo, oh, captain of the Blue Army Brigade."
"It turns out it's you, okay, thunderous, please come in." Stationmaster Zheng smiled, stepped aside and invited Li Zhan in.
There were many people in the living room, including the elderly, children, women, and the whole family. This one really calls the military camp his home. At first glance, the place he lives in seems spacious and the scenery is nice, but this is just the wishful thinking of people who are numb in big cities. You would be crazy if you were allowed to live in this wilderness for ten or eight years in a place with not a single ghost for dozens of kilometers.
After asking about Zheng Kaiyun and Station Master Zheng, Li Zhan was in awe. Despite his cook-like appearance, he was a handsome young man when he was young. He turned into a greasy middle-aged uncle and spent most of his life in the foothills of the desert.
After saying hello, Li Zhan put down his things and followed Zheng Kaiyun to the study to talk. Zheng Kaiyun was well versed in driving, so when she came to visit her at this time, she must have something more obscure to discuss, mostly to ask for help. The real power in Zheng Kaiyun's hands is much greater than that of Xue Xiangdong, and the money signed out with a single stroke of a pen amounts to tens of millions every year.
Otherwise, the Air Force is a very money-burning service. The station commander of the regular regiment has an annual budget of tens of millions. Let’s look at the infantry brigade commander of the infantry regiment in Lao Lu. His subordinate farm earns two to three million a year. I was as happy as if I had married a second wife.
"Captain Li, are you here so late for something important?" Zheng Kaiyun motioned to Li Zhan to sit down, walked over and poured a glass of boiling water, and placed it in front of Li Zhan. The steam rising up covered Li Zhan's face.
Li Zhan said with a smile on his face, "Chief, I'm here to ask you for alms."
"Stop it." Upon hearing this, Zheng Kaiyun stopped smiling, "Your regiment leader Xue Dapao has already taken away a lot of things from me. I'm trying to find ways to make up for it, so don't come anymore. You Li I have heard about the name of the captain. You were the one who took the civil aviation to Chang'an for training a few months ago. I had to sign out for several thousand yuan for the round trip, which is quite interesting."
Li Zhizhi showed embarrassment, "Chief, you have always supported the work of the regiment. We are a permanent unit. The regiment leader has mentioned more than once that the entire military region must evaluate a good station commander. Then It must be you. We are fighting in the front, and you and the brothers in the field are working silently behind the scenes. You are the hero behind the scenes!"
"You haven't been a captain for a few days. You haven't learned (pronounced liao) before you learned (pronounced le). Xue Dapao is always talking about running around and talking. Would he praise me like this? I have known him for ten years. ..." Zheng Kaiyun said with a smile.
Li Zhan's face remained calm, and he had to be thick-skinned if he wanted to beg for alms. As long as he had jet fuel, he could throw away anything, so what does it mean to be a little shy?
"Chief, what I said is true. The regiment leader did say so. You can ask him for confirmation." Li Zhan said seriously without changing his expression.
You must persist to the end resolutely, even if you are severely exposed in the end.
Facts show that no one will seek verification for this kind of thing. Besides, so what if he does, and so what if Li Zhan is just comparing it blindly.
All in all, it sounds comfortable now.
Zheng Kaiyun waved her hand gently, lit up a cigarette, raised the cigarette case and threw it over, "Do you want to smoke?"
"Reporting to the commander, I quit smoking, and at the same time I made up my mind to carry out ten days of continuous high-intensity flight training before the end of this month. I'm afraid I won't be able to persist if I smoke," Li Zhan replied.
Zheng Kaiyun shook her head slightly and put down her cigarette. She stared at Li Zhan and said, "Xiao Li, just tell me what you want. It's not easy for you to find me and come to my house. Everyone calls me Zheng Tiediao. What do you mean? I don't have any money." , very few people dare to come and break through the door, because I will always report them for giving gifts."
Shivering slightly, Li Zhan said quickly, "Chief, those two bottles of wine were sent by my comrades in arms. The wine from their hometown is free of charge. I just want you to taste it and give him some feedback."
"Oh?" Zheng Kaiyun nodded slightly, "Is your comrade in charge of this wine business?"
"Yes, he is self-employed after retiring, and now he is engaged in alcohol product development." Li Zhan said with a smile, "That guy treats me as a guinea pig. I might not pay attention. I heard that you have been tested for a long time. Chief, I I took the liberty to bring it here.”
Zheng Kaiyun was very satisfied, "Well, then keep it and I'll try it for you."
Li Zhan asked tentatively, "What about aviation fuel..."
"You want jet fuel? Don't want jet fuel?" Zheng Kaiyun was a little surprised.
Li Zhan's face turned red and he said awkwardly, "The engine is not that easy to break."
"We at the station have studied your glorious deeds intensively. Don't be embarrassed. You are really good. It's not just one or two, but very good. I admire you, a young and promising pilot, who can fly the plane." This is the first time I have seen a pilot who fell apart after working as a ground support officer in the Air Force for 20 years," Zheng Kaiyun said.
Li Zhan frowned, having scolded Zhang Yuan a hundred times in his heart. It must have been Zhang Yuan's big mouth that leaked it, but I can't be completely sure that it was him. After all, Xue Xiangdong knew about his past deeds, and he might have brought them out to brag about when he asked Zheng Kaiyun to reimburse Li Zhan for his air tickets. You can brag about anything for a lifetime, not to mention Linlin's successful handling of special dangers...
Li Zhan said sincerely, "Chief, I can guarantee that important aircraft materials will not be scrapped due to accidents, but if they are scrapped because they have reached the end of their service life, there is nothing I can do about it. The aircraft engines originally used by the J-7B were repaired. The interval is only one to two hundred hours, and the total life span is only a little over five hundred hours."
"What are your plans for high-intensity training?" Zheng Kaiyun asked.
Not only the J-7 series of fighters, it can be said that the aircraft engines used by the Chinese Air Force's active fighters are far behind those of Western military powers in terms of lifespan. The shortcomings of engines have always been the biggest bottleneck restricting the development of my country's aviation industry. The upper level bottleneck is material technology, which extends to almost all industrial-related industries. What is important is the overall level of a country's industrial system.
In the long-term technological blockade environment, our country has and has only one target for technological input and learning. It used to be the former Soviet Union and now it is Russia. To this day, the so-called NATO group of countries still clings to the Batum Agreement. Lao Maozi's stuff has good combat performance, but it is too rough. The engine life of the same period is often only one-third or even lower than that of NATO countries.
The improved overhaul interval of the famous AL-31F turbofan engine is only 800 hours, while the overhaul interval of Pratt & Whitney's F-100 series turbofan engines during the same period exceeded 2,000 hours. The difference is not as big as one point or two points. As the Chinese aviation engine industry studied under Lao Maozi, the results achieved can be imagined.
However, big problems are being overcome, and catching up is just around the corner.
Li Zhijiang thought for a moment and said, "The weather station predicts that the weather in the second half of this month will be basically suitable for flying. I plan to conduct ten days of continuous combat training for large aircraft groups and increase the number of flying hours first."
"I support your 101st Regiment's formation of the Blue Army Brigade. The division commander has given clear instructions to fully support your work. I have allocated sufficient aviation fuel to you in accordance with the order. In short, the factory director will not hold you back," Zheng Kaiyun said.
You can use your imagination as to how much power the station commander at the regimental level has, but the flight commander is a poor man compared to others. What extends from this is the standard for whether a unit can be judged as the so-called ace unit - the unwritten rule is that the aviation division at the three stations under the division is the ace, to be precise, it is a fully-equipped and fully-trained unit under construction. .
Isn't the reason why the Second Division is so awesome because it has three stations and one of them is an assistant division level station? The aviation division, which costs billions every year, is not a trump card. Could it not be Nan Batian?
The 73rd Division was close, with only two stations. In addition to Beiku, there was also one in the suburbs of Urumqi, where the division headquarters was stationed. The 101st Regiment is a large-scale regiment that occupies Beiku Station alone. Beiku Station is also a station with relatively high hardware specifications. The main runway is 3,000 meters, and it is almost catching up with the 4E standard of civil aviation airports.
therefore!
Beiku Field Station accepts bomber divisions for training every year!
Zheng Kaiyun is also a landowner with no surplus food. No matter how bad the fuel consumption of your J-7II is, it is just a gas guzzler. Their H-6 is the real Sixth Master and a veritable oil tiger. The Communist Party only has so much planned aviation fuel in the middle of the year. If I give you more, how can you survive when those guys flying H-6s come over?
They have the name of "strategy" on their heads. How dare you lack their training fuel? You have to distinguish between objects if you prefer one to another!
Li Zhan was aware of these situations, otherwise he would not have come "through the back door" at the risk of being gossiped about.
Despite this, Li Zhan still did not give up, and said in an almost pleading tone, "Chief, Stationmaster Zheng, just treat our 101st regiment as pitiful. Give us more, give us more. I don't want more, just ten tons." , just ten tons, I promise not to tell anyone."
"Not even a ton! You're paying back ten tons!" Zheng Kaiyun laughed angrily and shook her head firmly.
"You really don't want to give it? I'll kneel down if you don't!"
"Then I'll give you three tons. Stop talking, just three tons. Come tomorrow to get the batch slip. Don't pull it down!"
Li Zhan immediately smiled, bent down and thanked him hurriedly, and left without stopping for a moment. Zheng Kaiyun sent Li Zhan to the door and watched as Li Zhan walked briskly and jumped a few times farther and farther away. His nose was a little sore and his vision was blurry.
While others would kneel down to beg for promotion, he would kneel down to beg for aviation fuel.
Three tons of aviation fuel is only the consumption of two sorties.
Just to fly two more sorties, Li Zhan was willing to do anything.
Second update today, good afternoon brothers.
