Chapter 296 Stimulating Local Economy

Bao Guanhua didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing the director of the Beiku Regional Tourism Bureau tell the whole story.

Bao Guanhua thought that the late-night visit was an urgent matter. He even thought that Li Zhan had shocked the local people's chickens to death again, but it turned out that the smiling Director Chen of the Tourism Bureau actually came to the troops for help.

When Li Zhan returned to the apron, Pei Lei was already waiting for him and sent him directly to the infield building. Xue Xiangdong landed one step earlier than him, and was already talking to Director Chen in the reception room with Bao Guanhua.

"Report!" After Li Zhan made the report, his heart beat loudly when he saw the formation.

No supersonic speed tonight!

"He is the pilot who made an emergency landing on Route 4, Comrade Li Zhan, Xiao Li, this is Director Chen of the regional tourism bureau." Bao Guanhua pointed at Li Zhan and introduced.

Director Chen quickly came over and shook hands with Li Zhan warmly, "Captain Li has admired me for a long time."

"Director Chen, you're welcome." Monk Li Zhanzhang was confused and couldn't help but look at Bao Guanhua.

Bao Guanhua said, "Director Chen, please share your thoughts. It mainly depends on Comrade Li Zhan's opinion."

"Okay, political commissar Bao." Director Chen took out a few color drawings from his briefcase, but they were printed screenshots of the website, and said, "Captain Li, look at this. You made an emergency landing on Highway 4 that day and were photographed by tourists. I wrote it as a travel note, and as of today, the number of views on this travel note has exceeded 10 million. The most direct impact is that the number of self-driving tourists entering our Beiku area has increased sharply this month. We have made preliminary statistics on Highway 4 tours and tourism The number of tourists on the road trip reached more than 10,000.”

Li Zhan was so surprised that he couldn't recover for a while.

Can a forced landing still attract tourists?

He looked at the photo in the travel journal carefully. It was very blurry and it was raining and snowy. He could vaguely see the huge engine nozzle and vertical tail of No. 01 SU-27SK. It was taken from the side and rear angle. It must have been taken by those three people at that time. Fortunately, this kind of photo is not considered a leak, otherwise the relevant departments would have started taking action long ago.

Director Chen was very happy. He said, "Our Beikku region has beautiful natural scenery and a lot of tourism resources. The region regards tourism as a pillar industry to develop. We have been trying to find ways to promote the scenery of Beikku, but the effect has not been very good. Okay. I didn’t expect that the comrades from the army would land on the road and make the North Kurdistan Region known to the people of the whole country overnight.”

"This..." Li Zhan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Director Chen said excitedly, "Captain Li, after research, the city hopes to cooperate with the army and organize a military-civilian cooperation activity. The main reason is to ask the army for help."

"Director Chen, of course our troops cannot participate in local commercial activities." Li Zhan looked at Xue Xiangdong and Bao Guanhua strangely. Since they were talking to Director Chen, they explained that what they were going to do would not violate disciplinary principles. But Li Zhan couldn't figure out how the army could help local governments develop tourism.

Li Zhan said, "Should I arrange for fighter planes to land on Highway 4 a few more times?"

"If possible, of course it would be the best." Director Chen said excitedly.

Li Zhan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Of course not, we have strict discipline."

Director Chen was not disappointed, but said, "The main idea is this. When the troops are training, can we fly more over Highway 4 and the tourist road? The troops have to train anyway, so we can adjust the area a little, and have more Flying over these two highways. Many tourists come here because they think they can see the military’s fighter training on Highway 4 and the tourist highway..."

That’s what it meant.

It's equivalent to an air show.

This would not violate disciplinary principles.

The army must support local economic construction, which is a policy requirement. In order to support local economic construction, some troops continue to give up resources, mainly on land. A large number of air force stations were handed over to local governments and converted into airports, and a large number of routes and airspace were handed over to civil aviation.

In principle, it is possible to slightly adjust the training airspace if it helps the local tourism economy. The common people are very curious about the army, but how to maintain standards that can help the local area without leaking secrets requires the consent of the security department.

Li Zhan can decide to adjust the training airspace, mainly his Falcon Group, because what tourists want to see is the SU-27SK, not the old second-generation aircraft.

Li Zhan was a little unsure and looked at Xue Xiangdong and Bao Guanhua with inquiring eyes. Neither of them had any inclination.

After thinking about it, Li Zhan asked, "Director Chen, what do you want us to do specifically?"

Director Chen said, "We plan to organize several activities with the theme of ice and snow road travel. If the troops can hold an air show, the effect will definitely be very good. During normal training, planes fly mostly to tourist roads, mainly tourist roads. In addition, the army needs to provide a training plan so that we can organize activities according to your training plan."

"There is no problem with the flight show, but the training plan is a military secret, and I cannot provide this to you." Li Zhan said with a frown.

Bao Guanhua said, "Director Chen, we can hold a flight show. The adjustment of the training area is a major matter, and we will have a meeting to study it."

Director Chen doesn't expect everyone to be satisfied. Many things in the army are hard to talk about and hard to ask. Being able to give you a flight demonstration is already a good result.

"Okay, okay, I understand." Director Chen nodded hurriedly and said, "Captain Li, we plan to organize an event on April 1st and arrange it on the tourist highway on the east side of Sanshili Town. I hope you can arrange it by then A great flying display.”

Li Zhan said, "I personally have no problem, as long as the organization approves."

"Director Chen, we know the matter. We will report it to the higher-level leadership tomorrow. Whether it will work or not, we can't say yet." Xue Xiangdong spoke.

He thought for a while and said, "I will arrange for the comrades from the Publicity Department to contact you tomorrow to study how to organize this flight show."

In fact, Xue Xiangdong and Bao Guanhua agreed, so the matter can basically be settled. It's just an air show. Whether the aircraft is flying in the sky is for training or demonstration is not decided by the military.

Being able to boost the local economy is also a manifestation of strength for the army.

After seeing off Director Chen, Xue Xiangdong left Li Zhan behind and asked him, "Choose a few good-looking stunts, make a plan, and send two squadrons up to demonstrate for half an hour. Are there any problems?"

"No problem." Li Zhan said, "We can even arrange a free air combat demonstration. The area over Sansanli Town is open and it is a good training airspace. As long as you are careful not to go supersonic, it should be no problem."

Xue Xiangdong said, "Don't do it. All of you should go to Su Liangqi. This is also an opportunity to promote our department."

"Understood. Brigadier, when will the new plane arrive? Is there a timetable?" Li Zhan asked with a sigh.

"June." Xue Xiangdong said.

Li Zhan sighed again.

The matter of borrowing aircraft from the 300th Division was indeed very difficult. Xue Xiangdong tried his best but was unable to facilitate this matter. There was a shadow in the mind of the Three Hundred Division, and they were unwilling to borrow it, so the matter was shelved.

There were still two or three months to wait, and Li Zhan felt that time was passing slower and slower.
