Chapter 1804: Military Contempt Chain (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!!! Please Subscribe!!! Please Recommend!!!)
"If it's not mutiny, then why would they bomb their own country?!!"
"Shut up!" The Air Force high-ranking officer shouted sternly: "Move your shrinking brain! How can there be mutiny? A whole unit mutiny?"
In fact, the 35 F35s are not in a fighter wing, but are assigned to various wings. This time they are just sent out together. The F35 is a new model. Although it does not belong to the same unit, it is still together during normal training. That's why they will be sent out together in this mission, but their relationship still belongs to each wing.

If this is considered a collective mutiny, it will be a big trouble. Just now, I said that they belong to different units. If they mutiny together...what does this mean? This means that the entire Air Force is not trustworthy!
The fact that they belonged to different wings and could rebel together shows that they had been in contact for a long time. Was it premeditated? If it was premeditated, were there any accomplices? And why were they selected as F35 fighter pilots together? Was there an inside story? Who was behind all this?
Such questions will be asked more and more, and the entire Air Force will be unclean by then.
So even if the Air Force leaders really suspected that these people had rebelled collectively, they would never admit it. As long as they admitted it, the entire Air Force would be investigated tomorrow!
This is almost certain!
The Air Force leaders naturally have to think about the Air Force.
"We have a strict review mechanism! Even if there are enemies who have infiltrated the army, this situation would not happen! Think about how likely it is that more than 30 people rebelled together!" The Air Force leaders were not talking nonsense. Among all the military services, the Air Force's review is the strictest.
It's no wonder that the Air Force leaders reacted so strongly, after all, this is related to the competition within the military.
Yes, the military is not monolithic. Militaries all over the world have similar competitions. Each military service is unhappy with the other!
Let's take the US military as an example. (No way, if I really want to talk about the little tyrant, I will be censored, so I'll just use the US military as an example. At least if I talk about the United States, I won't be censored.)
In order to compete for limited funds and power, the US military has a fierce historical struggle, and the various branches of the military often despise and ridicule each other. It is said that there is such a contempt chain: the Air Force is the richest, has the best conditions, and is tall, handsome and rich; the Navy drives aircraft carriers around the world and has seen the most of the world; the Marine Corps carries out the most combat operations, does the dirtiest and most tiring work, and has to take the Navy's ships and look at the Navy's face; the Army has the lowest status and is at the bottom of the contempt chain. As for the other major military branch, the Coast Guard, it is often forgotten and does not even qualify to enter the contempt chain.
Among the five major military branches in the United States, the Air Force enjoys a huge budget, has the latest equipment, stays in a high-end air force base, and does the work of "superior people". The superior working environment and living conditions attract the envy and hatred of other military branches. The Navy believes that the Air Force is a group of half-baked people who are just filling in the numbers. They have long hair, wear funny hats, live in luxury houses, use the latest weapons, and complain all day long.
The Marine Corps also does not accept the Air Force, saying that the Air Force base is like a country club, and the female Air Force soldiers look down on the male Air Force soldiers and like to find Marine men. Since most Air Force personnel do not need to go to the battlefield, the widespread use of drones has turned some Air Force pilots who were originally supposed to fly planes into operators, sitting in leather chairs in the office and moving the joystick. Therefore, the Air Force was nicknamed the "Chair Force".
The relationship between the Navy and the Marine Corps is relatively good. After all, they are on the same boat and are under the jurisdiction of the Navy Department, but there will always be conflicts. In the eyes of the Marine Corps, the Navy is not as extravagant as the Air Force, nor does it like to show off as the Air Force, but this is all because the Navy's ships cannot fit too many new things. What the Marines hate is that the Navy has many strange traditions that belong only to them. The Marines are very disdainful of this, but they have to stay on the same ship with the Navy and endure all kinds of "traditions" of the Navy. The Marines call the Navy "mysterious wizards on a ship."
In the eyes of the Navy, although they are on the same ship, the Navy is the boss and the Marines are employees. They are pulled by the Navy's aircraft carriers to perform missions all over the world. In the eyes of other branches of the military, the Marines are uncivilized barbarians. There are all kinds of urban legends about them, such as the Marines eat human flesh raw, have no sense of pain, etc.
The Army is the worst. It can only be despised, but it has no right to despise others. In the eyes of the Navy, the Army is stupid and boring. The Army likes to say a slang "Hooah", which is a universal word that means everything except "no", but the Navy does not say it, thinking that the pronunciation of this word sounds like a donkey's bray. The Marines call the Army "Army Dogs" and say that Army0 is Aren't Ready for Marines.
The Marines laugh at the Army for not everyone being able to fight. The Army soldier who is responsible for repairing trucks cannot fight on the battlefield. If you give him a gun, he may be able to defend himself, but his combat capability and psychological quality are far lower than that of a well-trained infantryman. But the Marines are all-rounders. As long as they are "slightly" trained, every member can fight well. It is precisely because they are so powerful that they are envied by other branches of the military. There is even a line in the Marine Corps song: If the Army and Navy have seen the scene of heaven, they will find that the streets of heaven are guarded by the Marines.
The contempt and ridicule between the various branches of the US military often miss the Coast Guard. Many people even ask: What? The Coast Guard is also a branch of the US military? Yes, although the Coast Guard is also a branch of the US military, it is not born by the same parents. They are not under the jurisdiction of the Department of Defense, but the Department of Homeland Security, and previously the Department of Transportation. They are often laughed at by other soldiers: Coast Guardsmen will never have the opportunity to touch a gun again after leaving the boot camp.
In fact, the contempt between military branches is very common in countries all over the world.
Some even rise to hatred!
For example, the navy and the army of Japan are definitely sworn enemies!
They are mortal enemies!
They are so conflicted that the navy builds tanks and the army builds warships, and they plan to never have any contact with each other.
Xiaobawang is naturally no exception, of course not as extreme as Japan...
But competition is bound to exist. After all, the military budget is so limited. If you don’t fight for the army, Ma Run will not thank you. You can only get more if you fight. So the top leaders of the Air Force must take an attitude to safeguard the interests of the Air Force!
It is also thanks to the fact that Xiaobawang’s navy is a little transparent, otherwise it will definitely be more lively.
However, the top leaders of the Air Force did not talk nonsense. The review of the Air Force is indeed the most stringent.
I believe that everyone who has been to school knows how strict the recruitment of pilots in high school is. Last year, more than 2,000 high school students were basically qualified for the recruitment of high school pilots, and only more than 1,000 were finally admitted. It is the policy of the state to recruit pilots rather than to be unqualified. There are even some rumors that there cannot be any scars on the body.
Let's take the US military as an example. In the United States, due to its strong economic strength, there are many small-scale private aviation schools and airports throughout the country. Anyone who is interested can take the test. It is basically the same as taking a car driver's license test. As long as you pass the test, you are considered a semi-qualified pilot. In such a large area of talents available for selection, the US Air Force is very good at selecting pilots, but the procedures are still very strict. Some of them pass the physical examination and enter the Air Force Academy first. They have to study undergraduate majors while doing glider training at school. After graduation, they can become formal flight students. Note that at this time, they are still only students, and then they have to enter the flight training base to formally learn how to drive and fly military aircraft. There are also some flight students who are selected from college graduates recruited by the Reserve Officer Training Corps and the Air Force Officer Training School from local universities. The selection age is limited to 18-33 years old, but all candidates must have a bachelor's degree and pass the safety inspection.
All students selected to learn to fly must first undergo adaptive flight training. The aircraft type generally used is DA-20. The training period is 40 days. First, they will fly 25 hours and 20 sorties to determine whether the candidates can adapt to flying. After obtaining the flight learning certificate, qualified candidates can become college students majoring in flight learning in the Air Force, and then enter the Air Force flight training base to formally learn to fly.
The U.S. Air Force has a total of five training bases. The flight learning system for students is 12 months, which is divided into three stages. The first is 6 weeks of aviation theory learning, then 22 weeks of primary trainer flight training, and finally 24-28 weeks of advanced trainer flight training. The primary trainer used in the training base is T-6, while the Navy uses T-34. Students need to fly 90 hours in the primary trainer and learn basic flight movements, such as some aerobatic maneuvers, basic instrument flight and two-plane formation, etc.
After completing the primary trainer flight training, qualified students can choose to fly fighters, bombers, transport planes or helicopters. The advanced trainer aircraft for fighters and bombers is T-38, the advanced trainer aircraft for jet tankers and transport aircraft is T-1A, the advanced trainer aircraft for propeller transport aircraft is TC-12B and T-44, and the one for helicopters is Bell UH-1.
After the second stage of flight training, the troops will determine the ranking of the current flight trainees based on the trainees' theoretical learning results, primary trainer flight results and military qualities. Then the first-ranked students will be asked to choose the type of aircraft they want to fly first, followed by the second-ranked students, and then they will choose independently according to the ranking of their scores. Due to the limited enrollment indicators for various aircraft types, students with good grades usually choose fighters, while those with poor grades can only choose to fly propeller transport aircraft or helicopters.
In the third stage, students also need to fly more than 100 hours, learn more complex formation and instrument flight techniques, learn various flight mission prescribed actions, and learn combat flights and the use of major airborne weapon systems. At the same time, they also need to learn the skills of escaping behind enemy lines and at sea, and fighter pilots also need to learn the basic theoretical outline of fighters and be familiar with many basic principles of fighters. The overall requirements are more cumbersome and strict.
After graduating from flight training, qualified students will be awarded the Air Force Pilot Silver Wing Badge and the title of official pilot, and then they will have to go to the Air Force Supplementary Training Unit for 3-6 months of conversion flight training on combat aircraft, such as F-16, F-15, F-22, F-35, C-17, KC-135, C-130, etc. After this conversion training, they will be assigned to the relevant combat units to become combat unit pilots.
After completing the study, new pilots who have obtained the title of pilot must sign a contract to guarantee that they will serve in the Air Force for at least 10 years.
The situation of Xiaobawang is similar.
In short, the training and cultivation of a pilot requires a lot of money... Yes, money! Therefore, the troops will always pay attention to the psychological and physiological state of the pilots themselves, including their political inclinations and identity backgrounds will be strictly examined.
In this case, the possibility of collective defection is very, very small!
"Then tell me why? ! ! There must be a reason! The reporters outside are waiting now!"
At this time, someone interrupted again: "Reporters? Those scumbags are still okay. The real problem is how to deal with the eyes of other countries! Such a big thing happened, how should other countries see it? What do our allies think? Of course, the most important thing is... how should our enemies see it!"
This sentence is the key point.
No one is willing to help a puddle of mud. If the little overlord performs too lax, their allies will also murmur.
Of course, as I just said.
The most important thing is what the enemy thinks!
With the occurrence of the air strike, the air force of the little overlord was paralyzed!
It's not that there is a shortage of planes. They can't blow up all the planes.
The key is that the air force dares not fly again.
Who knows how many planes will rebel next time. If it happens again, the air force will be completely finished.
In this way, the biggest advantage of the little overlord is gone.
The little overlord can dominate the Middle East. The role of their air force can be said to be irreplaceable!
This is also the reason why the little overlord developed the air force.
Without the air force, their enemies will be much better off.
Take Egypt for example.
With Apocalypse personally leading the expedition, their pressure was reduced a lot, and they stabilized the front line at once. Egypt also sought more assistance from its allies with this outstanding performance!
They want to fight back, but they still need a little help.
The Little Overlords dare not launch an attack casually.
They are afraid of attracting Apocalypse again.
Although it is a bit funny to say this... modern armies are actually afraid of one person.
It sounds impossible no matter how you listen to it.
But the reality is that Apocalypse's appearance is too cool.
"The most important issue now is to figure out why our planes bombed ourselves!"
