Chapter 463 Old Partner

After a near miss, we landed on the field. After inspection, we found a scratch below the air intake. The position made the maintenance personnel gasp in the air at minus 3.5 degrees Celsius. If the impact height was ten centimeters higher, the Kongming Lantern would have been will be sucked into the intake tract, which can lead to catastrophic consequences.

Li Zhan was also horrified. The J-10 only had one engine. If the engine failed under the circumstances, he would probably have to make an emergency landing at the tourist airport. As long as it is forced to land, it is difficult to ensure the integrity of the fighter plane, not to mention that engine failure may cause other "complications", such as flight control system failure.

Last year, when training on modified J-10s in the Dahongying Division, Li Zhan had to abandon the plane and parachute because the engine stalled and caused the flight control system to malfunction, ending his first relationship with the girl of his dreams.

The results of the investigation were reported the next day. It was completely different from what was expected. Those sky lanterns were not caused by the tourist airport but were released by some local social groups during prayer activities. The cultural department and other relevant departments approved the early morning prayer activities. However, They didn't realize that the change in wind direction caused the Kongming Lantern to float over the tourist airport. Even if they expected it, they didn't think there would be a problem. After all, the tourist airport only has flights after 7 a.m. The lack of an effective mechanism made the local air traffic control department, especially the security department of the tourist airport, ignorant of the activities at that time, which led to the occurrence of this dangerous incident.

The Second Division reported to the Military Region Air Force that it was strongly recommended to draw inferences from one example to avoid a series of related hidden dangers, but these were not within the scope of Li Zhan's concern. His experience is that flying in densely populated areas requires being more vigilant about air hazards caused by local people's production and living activities. This is a problem that will not be encountered in the Beikong area.

As the weather improved, the flight work at Zhongnan Station came to an end. The aviation department's station level assessment team also returned after obtaining a large amount of relevant data. Li Zhan's mission at Zhongnan Station was declared completed. At this time, there are only five days left before the Spring Festival of 2012.

When Li Zhan was ready to evacuate at any time, Tang Guozheng invited him to the office and handed him a document, saying, "Your suggestion has been adopted. The aviation department agreed to renovate the Zhongnan Station and install runway blocking wheels." It shortens the take-off distance and serves as a training base before the flying sharks are selected for training.”

"What about the ski-jump takeoff?" Li Zhan was surprised, then overjoyed, "How about the ski-jump runway?"

"If we don't do it for the time being, we can't take away HNA's work. They have strong opinions." Tang Guozheng said.

Li Zhan was a little disappointed, but at least he had a good start.

Tang Guozheng took out another document and handed it to Li Zhan, "Second thing, I was ordered to convey the order from the aviation director. The actual test flight of the J-16 has officially begun. There have been some changes in the plan. Please take a closer look. Xiao Li, You can’t rest this Spring Festival.”

"As long as you can fly, every day is the Spring Festival." Li Zhan quickly read the document. After reading the document, he looked at the flight outline in the attachment. He raised his head in surprise and said, "Stand up at Zhongnan Field?"

"Yes, the West County Station is too close to the Shuilingchang Station of the 9th HNA Division. It is more appropriate to place the first stop at the Zhongnan Station. It is an inland station and is suitable for long-range fighters like the J-16." Tang Guozheng said .

Li Zhan said, "Well, this adjustment is appropriate. When will the plane arrive?"

He was more concerned about when he could fly than where he could fly. For a combat pilot, days without flying are extremely boring, and for Li Zhan, flying that is not challenging is a pure waste of aviation fuel. He is just an insignificant little tracker on the road of building the People's Air Force, but as long as he runs fast enough, the People's Air Force, a giant ship that needs to get out of the shoal as soon as possible, will achieve its goal faster.

Tang Guozheng said, "When it arrives tomorrow, Hainan Airlines will send two pilots to pick up the plane. One of the pilots is familiar to you. He is also a veteran of our Second Division. He went to Hainan Airlines early last year."

"Who?" Li Zhan searched quickly in his mind, "Zhang Xueyang? No, he seems to be still in the Sixth Regiment."

"Zhang Xueyang has already entered Feisha's training camp. He left last month, but it was not him." Tang Guozheng said with a smile.

Li Zhan asked, "Who could that be?"

Tang Guozheng said, "Chen Fei."

"Oh, Chen..." Li Zhan suddenly froze, his expression a little dull, "Chen Fei?"

Finally reacting, Li Zhan said in surprise, "Chen Fei? When did he become a senior pilot of Hainan Airlines?"

Fang Chenghe had made it clear before that HNA would send a senior pilot with a higher military rank than Li Zhan to team up with Li Zhan to form a test flight crew. No matter what, Li Zhan never expected it to be Chen Fei.

Tang Guozheng smiled and said, "Isn't he senior enough? He has been transferred to Hainan Airlines for more than a year, and he is the only pilot in the Second Division who successfully became the Flying Shark Group. I'm not sure why Hainan Airlines sent him here. .”

Li Zhan said "Oh" with a strange expression.

"Xiao Li, between you and Chen Fei..." Tang Guozheng said with some worry, "What happened in the past is in the past, and he actually did nothing wrong. You should stop being brooding. Carrying emotions is not conducive to work. "

Li Zhan said, "I know it won't affect work."

Tang Guozheng stood up, picked up his briefcase, and said, "I will go to the local area to hold a meeting. In response to the several incidents you have encountered, we will establish a joint prevention and coordination mechanism with the relevant local departments. After this work is implemented, the division will Send a J-10 squadron to be permanently stationed in Zhongnan. Isn’t it your long-cherished wish to fly the J-10? You can fly it during the test flights."

"Great, this J-10 is my unicorn. It is very difficult to control. I have to get used to it this time." Li Zhan's mood improved a little and he said happily.

Tang Guozheng and Li Zhan chatted for a while as they walked out, then got in the car and left. Li Zhan stood there in a daze for a while before sighing inexplicably and turning back to the dormitory.

Did Li Zhan really look away? If Tang Guozheng knew some of the deeper secrets, he would never be as relieved as he is now.

In fact, Li Zhan couldn't accept it. It wasn't that it was hard to accept, but that he was not mentally prepared at all to face the comrade with whom he had the best relationship while working in the Second Division.

Do you have knots in your heart? Yes, and they are hard to untie. The relationship between the two has inevitably become cold. After the last meeting at the West County Station, they both felt that the friendship between the two was as cold as water. Especially when Chen Fei was already the chief of staff of the Lieutenant Colonel Regiment, Li Zhan felt very disappointed.

The officers and soldiers of the Second Division all know that the most important reason for Chen Fei's rapid promotion is that he handled two first-class dangers and one first-class merit and one second-class merit. In fact, the protagonists of the two dangers were Li Zhan. To put it bluntly, everyone thought that Chen Fei was following Li Zhan to get the benefit of the doubt, but Chen Fei secretly stabbed Li Zhan. At least that's what many grassroots officers and soldiers thought.

There is an unavoidable fact that Li Zhan was expelled by Qi Hong and sent to Beiku, and Chen Fei could not escape his involvement. There is one thing that only Chen Fei knows. Li Zhan offended Wang Gang and his gang in order to help him. Wang Gang reported Li Zhan for "buying a wife" with a grudge, which directly led to Li Zhan being transferred after returning from fighting the flood in Sanhe. Transferred in a way that is difficult for people to accept.

However, Chen Fei did not report the ins and outs of this matter to Qi Hong and Fang Chenghe at that time, but he admitted under Qi Hong's questioning that Li Zhan did give Ying Wanjun's family 60,000 yuan. Qi Hong was furious and let him go. Li Zhan packed up and left the next day.

Li Zhan didn't know these things until a long time later. He also knew why Chen Fei had to selectively report in the first place - at that time, Chen Fei was already undergoing the organizational inspection for promotion to deputy regiment. This was not a big or small hurdle. However, this hurdle stops at the main camp, and when the age is up, he will be transferred to the deputy regiment level.

He didn't resent Chen Fei. Faced with the situation at that time, many people might have done that, but they didn't treat Chen Fei the same way as before. It is a pity that this once golden combination of the two divisions has split.

Many comrades who are familiar with them feel angry for Li Zhan. Without Li Zhan, Chen Fei would not be where he is today. It can be said that Chen Fei's two most important achievements were obtained by relying on Li Zhan, but Chen Fei secretly plotted against Li Zhan. So outrageous. Chen Fei trained desperately and rushed to the Flying Shark training. Finally, after becoming the first pilot of the Second Division to rush into the Flying Shark training for the second time, he decisively chose to be transferred to HNA. It can be said that he had a close relationship with the grassroots officers and soldiers. The perception of him has a lot to do with it.

The most important thing is that Chen Fei's guilt for Li Zhan not only did not weaken but strengthened as time went by. When he regretted his original behavior, there was no chance to make amends. In his heart, that thing was a thorn in his side. If Li Zhan hadn't taken the risk and used some of his old resources when he was working in the Special Aviation Force to help him, let alone a rocket promotion, he might even have been forced to change jobs.

Li Zhan was in a very low mood. In his heart, Chen Fei was a very important guide in his fighter flying career. Most of his basic subjects were taught by Chen Fei. Li Zhan also respected him very much and was a fellow countryman who was a few years older than him. Chen Fei treats Chen Fei as his elder brother and is the person he trusts the most. Chen Fei knew best about Ying Wanjun's matter, and Chen Fei was the one who should prove his innocence for him. However, it was Chen Fei's selective reporting that made him leave the Second Division in a dishonorable way. That was simply being kicked out, which was a huge blow to Li Zhan, who regarded honor as his life. The "betrayal" from the person he trusted the most would make Li Zhan unable to recover for a long time, if he met someone other than Xue Xiangdong.

Now that they are coming together to form a crew again, Li Zhan really doesn't know how to deal with the relationship with Chen Fei, and the internal relationship of a crew is directly related to the quality of the test flight work. He even thought about applying for a substitution, but the idea quickly disappeared as soon as it occurred. Orders are not child's play, and organizational requirements will never change due to personal family ties.

Depressed, Li Zhan called Nie Jianfeng to discuss the matter. Nie Jianfeng could not do more than enlighten and encourage.
