After a lot of twists and turns, Wang Yu and the others finally returned to their base in Gensokyo after a long absence.
This base still looks like that, between the mountains, deep in the valley, shrouded in clouds and mist.
It was no different from when they set out on their mission some time ago.
After notifying the relevant personnel at the base that the mission was completed and handing in the mission report - which had been written before returning - Wang Yu and the others, who had already taken back their original team names, were
Back to the base in a true sense.
After Wang Yu simply tidied up his room and cleaned up, he couldn't wait to go to the constant-temperature hangar that belonged to him.
He wanted to come and see this fighter plane that had been sealed for a long time.
In the eyes of outsiders, Wang Yu drove an F-15 fighter plane on a rampage during his mission in Orillia, which was overwhelming and unstoppable.
But Wang Yu himself knows that for him, or for the current level of the entire squadron, it is difficult for fighters below the fourth generation to satisfy them, nor can they use their full strength.
During the mission in Orillia, despite the fact that they looked glamorous in the eyes of outsiders, in fact they knew in their hearts that the many dangers they encountered during the mission were not because they were deliberately taking risks, but because
The performance of the fighter planes they flew at the time was not sufficient to support them in safer operations.
To put it simply, if Wang Yu and others were flying their own aircraft, they would be able to handle many extreme situations more easily.
For example, in the last battle, in order to prevent the successful launch of Asia's medium-range ballistic missile, Wang Yu decisively flew his fighter plane to chase the missile - if at that time he was driving the X-02S, which had enough power to climb as high as a rocket
, and it uses an airborne electromagnetic gun, which will never allow the missile to rise to a very high altitude before barely destroying it.
In other words, if what Wang Yu and the others were flying at that time were their original achievements, then the name of the ghost over Orillia would be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the Aisian army.
Looking at the sharply angular advanced fighter jet in the shadow of the hangar, Wang Yu couldn't help but reach out and touch its skin.
The F-15 I flew before was indeed a very good fighter, but when it was placed in front of the X-02, it seemed difficult to be satisfied.
Although when the level of pilots reaches a certain level, they can fight regardless of the generation difference of the aircraft, but this does not mean that the pilots will not expect better fighters.
In short, after spending a while with his fighter and Irene, who was always by his side, Wang Yu reluctantly left.
Soldiers will have different feelings about the firearms they use, so pilots naturally have reason to have certain feelings about their fighter planes.
When you return to the base, you will naturally return to your original life.
That is, returning from a state of war to a state of peace.
No longer are we waiting for danger, no longer will we be woken up by the sudden reminder of the emergency muster bell in the middle of the night, and we will no longer see the faces of the soldiers at the base who are either sad or smiling due to the changes in the war situation.
The continuous artillery fire has gone away, but the smell of gunpowder smoke from the battlefield still seems to linger around Wang Yu.
Every time you fly a fighter plane into the sky, you no longer have to drop bombs on the enemy's head or fight with the enemy's air power. You only need to fly step by step and experience the pure joy of flying.
Even though Wang Yu had a strong psychological adjustment ability, he still felt a brief discomfort after suddenly leaving the battlefield.
This kind of sequelae is difficult to avoid and can only be adjusted slowly by mentality.
…………
A few months later, the battle between Asia and the Northern Alliance that attracted world attention ended with representatives of both sides signing the armistice agreement and reaching a peace treaty.
The northern countries successfully passed this war, got rid of Asia's economic and political control in many aspects, and successfully moved towards the road of self-reliance and self-reliance.
Asia, on the other hand, was in ruins due to two natural disasters and the defeat of foreign wars. The domestic situation went from bad to worse. As Asia's largest bank declared bankruptcy due to the failure of the war, a larger economic crisis than before also followed.
After the outbreak, a large number of criminal incidents began to occur in Asia, vividly demonstrating to the world what real internal and external troubles are.
However, the fact that Asia, a former superpower, can carry out a war like this really makes countries around the world dumbfounded.
At the beginning of the war, everyone thought that Asia could clear the northern countries in one hour and twenty-two minutes, and that a certain general could become a god in one battle...
Ahem...that's too far off topic.
This armistice agreement was a severe blow to Asia. Although with the insistence of the empire, the northern coalition did not reach very special and unreasonable demands, such as huge war compensation, etc., these small northern countries did so anyway.
The whole country fought against Asia's invading army and prevented the northern continent from being forcibly annexed by Asia.
Therefore, these small countries finally dug out a lot of oil and water from Aisia. Needless to say, the land cessation and compensation were natural. The northern border line of Aisia was moved southward for about forty kilometers. At the same time, there were also 15 kilometers of African border on both sides.
In the militarized zone, countless Asians had to move their families south.
While Asia is busy improving the domestic situation, it is also busy in the international community condemning the Northern Alliance's excessive appetite and the empire's stretching its hand too far - not knowing that they are the party launching the invasion.
If they lose the war of aggression, they should bear the corresponding consequences.
But no matter what, when the war is over, peace will come, although the domestic situation in Asia is not very peaceful yet.
The Empire withdrew all mercenaries who had assisted the coalition forces during the war, and immediately gave various awards to the soldiers who fought for the interests of the Empire in this war.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Anyway, it is a certain fact that the coalition forces will have imperial assistance in the later period, and Asia is even too lazy to condemn this.
Wang Yu and other members of the Polaris Squadron have all risen in rank by one rank and are now lieutenant colonels.
If nothing else happens, this will be the highest military rank they can obtain.
According to the regulations of the Imperial Air Force, the highest rank for an air combat force officer is lieutenant colonel. In other words, once you are promoted further, you lose the right to fly fighter planes in the sky.
For Wang Yu, this is obviously something he is very unwilling to do.
He is still very young and has not yet appreciated the beauty of the blue sky, so naturally he does not want to be confined to the ground like this.
So stay in the Air Force and become a more senior officer, maybe, but definitely not now.
Maybe this will have to wait until one day in the future he can no longer fly a fighter plane.
As they were promoted to lieutenant colonel, the authority of Polaris Squadron also increased.
In other places, with his military rank, he can be fully qualified to be the captain or the person in charge of the entire single-type flying unit, but in the rather special place of Gensokyo Base, he is still just the captain of a squadron.
However, Wang Yu is not that interested in managing people. At present, he is the squadron leader because Luo Yu does not want to give it to him.
They were still conducting daily training and patrols at the Gensokyo base, and were back to their original routine.
However, the Air Force obviously does not intend to let the Polaris Squadron idle.
Less than half a month after being promoted to military rank, the superiors valued the Polaris Squadron's experience in defeating the Asia Air Force and assigned Wang Yu and others the task of teaching pilots.
That's right, it's the three months that new pilots must complete every year before joining the service.
Wang Yu also participated in this thing back then, but he was a student at that time, but now he is an instructor.
So after being promoted, the Polaris Squadron left the Gensokyo base and returned to the Sand Island Base on the east coast of the empire - this year it was the turn of this base to train new pilots.
Returning to the Shadao base, Wang Yu felt a lot of emotions.
Back then, he was flying a patchwork Mig-21 and came here as a fledgling "rookie" pilot, with only one victory in shooting down an air pirate fighter.
Over the years, he and his partners have fought in the north and south, attacked fortresses, captured pirates, crawled through valleys, thrown petrol bombs, and shot down all kinds of enemy aces.
So now when he returns, he has become famous and is among the strongest fighter pilots in the empire and even the world.
"If you say you are a rookie, other pilots will be embarrassed."
Sitting on the soft beach of the sand island base, Luo Yu complained to Wang Yu with emotion.
It was the first time for Luo Yu to come to this base, and everything seemed a bit strange, so Wang Yu took her around.
However, Wang Yu originally planned to bring the entire squadron together for this visit, but unexpectedly when Liu Lingxin came to the base, she said that she had a cold and needed to stay in bed, and refused the offer to go out with Wang Yu. Murong Lan also asked
He gave a very far-fetched reason to express that he did not want to transfer.
The final result was that Wang Yu and Luo Yu were wandering around the sand island base.
Wang Yu shrugged: "When I first came to this base, I was really a rookie. After all, I didn't know anything at that time. Fighting relied on instinct and passion. If Irene hadn't helped me, I would have sent it long ago.
Well, if I hadn’t practiced with the instructor later, I might have been at a second-rate level.”
Luo Yu shook his head: "In aerial combat, five points depends on hard work and five points depend on talent. The 'instinct' you call is the pavement for you to become an ace... As for Irene, that is also your help. When we calculate strength, we count it."
Damn it, otherwise how can we highlight the level of Zhan Ji’s troops?”
"It makes sense, but when it comes to strength..."
Wang Yu turned to look at Luo Yu: "Your presence is indispensable for my current achievements."
Luo Yu laughed happily: "I'm so awesome."
"You helped improve Irene's ability in the beginning, and you gave me the complicated aerial combat experience later..." Wang Yu shrugged: "Including the subsequent substantial improvement in strength, we also learned from sparring with you.
Every time the mission goes well, you guys should at least take a large part of the credit."
"If you say that, then I won't accept your compliment humbly."
Luo Yu patted the beach next to her and motioned to Wang Yu to sit next to her.
Wang Yu hesitated for a moment, and followed her instructions, sitting on the beach as well, and the two of them looked at the blue sea and the undulating waves together.
"Ask you something." After a moment of silence, Luo Yu suddenly spoke.
"Ask whatever you want."
"When do you and Lingxin plan to get married?"
Wang Yu didn't expect Luo Yu to ask such a question. He subconsciously raised his head and looked at the sky: "To be honest, I originally planned to do it this year, but..."
"Worried about that meteorite?"
"Aren't you worried?" Wang Yu turned his head and looked at her side face: "Until now, we don't know if there are any means to deal with it. If that thing falls, it won't be so easy to escape.
of."
"I'm worried, but many times I feel that instead of worrying so much and making myself unhappy all day long, it's better to relax." Luo Yu supported his body with his arms and looked up at the blue sky: "If you worry every day, living will be really tiring.
Already."
"That's what I said, but..." Wang Yu sighed and said nothing more.
"You should look to a better place." Luo Yu said: "Maybe the higher-ups already have a response plan, so they seem confident at this time."
"Why couldn't it be that... I couldn't resist anymore, so I broke the jar and threw it..."
Luo Yu laughed: "Why do you think about these things?"
Wang Yu shrugged: "It's just that I like to look at things from the worst side."
"You have such strange ideas." Luo Yu shook his head: "How about we make a bet?"
"How to say?"
"I bet the higher ups must have already come up with a response plan, and this time they openly mediated the war between Asia and the coalition forces and called us back from Orillia is related to this response plan. This time
After the training mission is over, we will be notified officially by the superiors." Luo Yu blinked slyly: "Are you willing to make this bet with me?"
"Do you have any special channels?" Wang Yu looked at her and smiled: "I won't be fooled."
"How can I have such great powers?"
Luo Yu rolled his eyes: "You, the general, don't know any secret information, why do you think I can know it?"
Looking at her expression, Wang Yu spread his hands helplessly: "Well, it seems that you are indeed speculating. What are we betting on?"
"Well... let's bet on a request. If I guess correctly, that means I win, and you agree to my request unconditionally; if you win, it's the other way around, and I agree to your request." Luo Yu thought for a while:
"Of course, it's not an excessive request."
"Sure." Wang Yu nodded: "I want to see if your speculation is true."
Luo Yu stood up and patted the sand on his body: "Then, let's keep walking. I haven't seen enough of the scenery at the sand island base. Where is the next stop?"
"Let's continue walking along the coast. We should be almost at the town at the other end of the island."
