Chapter 98 Jiang Chen is actually a rare genius that only appears once in a century?
Say something.

In the history of the Republic's military struggle, whether it was resisting foreign humiliation or overthrowing the rule of the reactionary class, it has always been Lao Lu who has taken the lead.

Do not!
This is just a more modest statement.

The most correct way of saying it should be 'taking the lead alone'.

As for the navy and air force, they have to stand aside.

The Air Force was better. Although it did not take part in the two wars of resisting foreign humiliation and overthrowing reactionary rule, it did perform brilliantly in the first war of nation-building after the founding of the People's Republic of China and played a huge role in the victory of the war.

Moreover, they fought bravely and made great military achievements.

As for the navy.

It was not until the "August 1965th Naval Battle" in 1950 that it was tempered by the flames of war for the first time. (The Battle of Qiongya Island in cannot be considered a true naval battle. At that time, all our warships were converted from wooden fishing boats, but even so, we still achieved an incredible victory.)

And step by step it grew into the second largest navy on Blue Star.

More than sixty years ago.

The Republic's Air Force had just been formed.

They went abroad and fought a desperate battle with the world's largest military force at that time.

Logically speaking, how could the newly established Republic’s Air Force be a rival to the world’s largest air force?

There is a huge gap between the two sides in terms of equipment and pilot capabilities.

Especially pilots.

On one side is a rough guy who can barely read. Not to mention flying a plane, he probably can't even drive a tractor.

On the other side were veteran pilots with rich combat experience who had fought against the Germans and the Japanese.

The gap in professional quality between the pilots of both sides is like a chasm.

The Air Force is a typical technical branch of the military, and winning battles requires more than just courage.

It also requires advanced equipment, superb technology, and rich practical experience, etc.
It stands to reason.

Our Air Force encountered such a strong opponent.

Not to mention being pinned to the ground by the opponent, at least he was at a disadvantage.

Not to mention gaining air superiority, it is estimated that they cannot even protect key targets.

But what is 'surprising' is that

Since the start of cross-border operations, our Air Force has been able to fight the enemy on equal terms.

It may even be possible to gain an advantage on local battlefields and achieve good results.

In particular, the 1st Flying Squadron of the 9th Regiment of the 3rd Air Division (the predecessor of the Wang Hai Squadron), led by Squadron Leader Wang Hai, fought more than 80 fierce battles with the enemy and shot down or damaged a total of 29 enemy planes.

Captain Wang Hai alone shot down nine enemy planes.

He made great achievements in battle.

It was also because of his achievement of shooting down nine enemy planes that Wang Hai became the first ace pilot in the history of our Air Force (the standard for an ace pilot is to shoot down five or more enemy planes).

Decades passed in the blink of an eye.

But the only thing that remains unchanged is the military’s bloodiness and their vision for a bright future for the country.

Decades later.

The 'Wang Hai Squadron', which has grown into an ace force of the Republic's Air Force, is now naturally well-equipped and full of talented people.

The brigade is not only the ace force of the Republic's Air Force, but also the "Royal Guard of the Air" that protects the capital, and is responsible for guarding the Republic's economic capital - the Yangtze River Delta.

So in terms of equipment.

The brigade is the first air force unit of the Republic Air Force to be equipped with the third-generation heavy fighter, the Su-27 Flanker fighter (now all replaced with the Su-30mkk, and will be replaced with the J-20 Vilyron in the next few years.)
In honor.

Six members of the brigade won the golden helmet of the "Air Force Flying Skills Competition", and three members won the golden dart of the "Air Force Penetration and Assault Competition".

Other honors are countless.

Inside the War History Memorial Hall, the lieutenant in charge of the tour took Jiang Chen and his friends on a tour, proudly and eloquently elaborating on the honors of the Wang Hai Squadron.

The students were all excited and fascinated by what they heard.

Even Fu Shiyu's eyes sparkled with stars. "Wuwuwu, four years from now I must come to the Wang Hai Brigade. In this life, I am a member of the Wang Hai Brigade, and I will definitely be a ghost of the Wang Hai Brigade when I die. Even my grave will be buried in the Martyrs Cemetery of the Wang Hai Brigade."

Hearing Fu Shiyu's slightly naive words.

The lieutenant immediately smiled and said, "Okay, then I wish your dream will come true."

"Thank you." Fu Shiyu smiled sweetly.

Then he nudged Jiang Chen with his elbow and asked, "Jiang Chen, what about you?"

"Me what?" Jiang Chen finally reacted.

Fu Shiyu saw that he was distracted and was immediately dissatisfied. "You are distracted at this time? Let me ask you, do you want to come to the Wang Hai Brigade after graduation?"

Jiang Chen pointed at himself and said unhappily, "What do you think Wang Hai's squadron is? It's the 'royal guards of the air' that protect the capital. Don't be naive. Do you really think we can come whenever we want?"

"If you hadn't spent a few years in other units and made a name for yourself, you wouldn't even be qualified to join Wang Hai's squadron."

Fu Shiyu smacked her lips, "Ah, so strict."

"You thought so."

"What should I do if you say that and I become even more fascinated?"

Jiang Chen shrugged helplessly.

He finally understood that being a "dog licker" has nothing to do with gender.

This is the root of human inferiority.

The more you can't get it, the more you want it.

However, Jiang Chen also yearns for the 'Wang Hai Brigade'.

The reason is quite simple.

Because in a few years, the brigade will have to replace its equipment with the J-20 Vily Dragon.

That’s the J-20!
The first domestically produced fifth-generation aircraft.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but tremble all over and his heart surged at the thought of being able to fly the J-20 at supersonic speed.

not far away.

Captain Wang looked at Jiang Chen, who was chatting and laughing with Fu Shiyu, and asked curiously, "Is this the rare genius you mentioned once in a century?"

Chen Shanhe glanced at him helplessly and said unhappily, "When did I say he was a genius? I just said that this kid has some talent, so I specially asked the old principal to keep an eye on him."

Captain Wang didn't agree with that.

Instead, he continued, "The fact that you described him as 'somewhat talented' is enough to show that he has outstanding abilities. How does he compare to you back then?"

Chen Shanhe was silent for a long time.

Then he said, "Whether it's physical fitness, mental quality, or especially flying talent, I'm not as good as him."

Captain Wang was surprised. "So exaggerated?"

The look he gave Jiang Chen became even more fervent.

Rubbing his hands, he said, "If you are not exaggerating, this kid is really a good seedling and worth focusing on training."

Chen Shanhe was a little surprised, "Are you interested in this guy too?"

"Yes."

"Don't you guys never accept rookies who just graduated from aviation school? Besides, this guy is not even a rookie now."

"You know nothing." Captain Wang said proudly and mysteriously, "I'll give you a little tidbit in advance."

"What kind of gossip is this? Why is it so mysterious?" Chen Shanhe also became interested.
