Now that the superior has arranged the task, the execution is already a certainty.
After Wang Yu read the detailed task description, he knew that this tolerance trip was inevitable.
This mission is actually a team trip, including not only the two Imperial Air Force pilots Wang Yu and Wenxuan, but also the service team responsible for maintaining the fighter planes, the ground troops escorting the former, and the security team responsible for armed escort of the fighters.
Imran Air Force pilots provide flight training to the instructor team, and the officer team is responsible for observing and recording actual combat confrontations.
This is a foreign-related mission with wide coverage.
According to the mission requirements, the team will stay for about a month after arriving at the inland airport of the Principality of Imran.
During this period, the people in the team need to perform their respective duties. The flight instructors provide some basic flight training to the Imran pilots who are about to receive new fighters, and the officers enter the Imran army to observe combat.
, the two combat pilots provided escort missions for subsequent transport aircraft flying from the empire.
However, as Colonel Zhang said, the current conflict between Imran and Custer is just a border friction. The two sides are still in the stage of fighting hard, and a war will not break out in a short time. This is indeed good news. The team does not need to
Worried about the threat of war.
And even if a real war breaks out between two countries, the empire will not officially participate.
Therefore, after they go there, the worst result will be to observe the war instead of participating in actual combat.
This also means that although this is a mission in name, it is actually no different from traveling to a country on the other side of the mainland.
After figuring out these joints, Wang Yu was happy to accept this mission.
He told Wenxuan the simple situation of the mission, and then went back to pack his luggage.
For a pilot on a business trip, he does not need to carry much luggage, and a backpack is enough - of course, if a fighter jet that needs to be transported by freighter is also regarded as luggage, that is another matter.<
/p>
"From this perspective, my dear, although I lost one tree, I gained the entire forest."
Irene folded Wang Yu's clothes and put them neatly in her bag. At the same time, she raised her head and looked at Wang Yu who was sitting at the table reading the mission document with gentle eyes. "Compared to that small airplane cemetery,
, this way you can see a wider blue sky."
"But at the same time, there are more restrictions." Wang Yu shook his head slightly, "We cannot simply compare."
After a while, Erin put the last thing in the bag and zipped up the backpack: "Well, it's packed."
Eileen is very attentive, and Wang Yu doesn’t have to worry about her missing anything.
To put it simply, all she had to do was pick up the luggage she had packed and set off.
…………
In a blink of an eye, the departure date came.
The two fighter planes of the Jizhou Squadron had been dismantled at this time, placed in special boxes and lifted onto a freighter. Also in the freighter were the first batch of six fighters ordered by the Principality of Imran—
-The empire does have a very good relationship with the Principality of Imran, so the empire’s arms sales are not a scam. The arms sales to Imran this time are all brand-new fighters that were supposed to be supplied to the Air Force. They were just manufactured, not from aircraft.

Wang Yu naturally also needs to board the ship. Although it is a cargo ship, some living cabins have been temporarily modified.
In addition to the four flying officers, their ground crew team also boarded the ship from the base.
When it comes to ground crew, this is a broad term. Those who work on the ground are called ground crew. In fact, there is a more detailed division of responsibilities, including those who provide maintenance for fighter aircraft and those who are responsible for ground guidance.
Generally, the latter belongs to the registered personnel of the airport, while the former is the exclusive team of a certain pilot and his fighter aircraft.
A fighter plane has a professional maintenance team. On the landing gear cover of the fighter plane, there will be a mark of the ground team, indicating which team performs the daily maintenance of the fighter plane.
Usually, airport ground staff have little contact with Wang Yu. Those who have more contact with Wang Yu - that is, those who have to communicate before each mission and have a few chats after coming back are the team members responsible for maintaining fighter planes.<
/p>
That's too far.
In short, in the evening of the day of departure, the cargo ship left the Shadao base under the escort of two navy destroyers and two frigates.
Due to the geographical location of the two countries, the shipping route needs to go around the entire continent, so they will first go north, using the free sea route in the north of the mainland, bypassing the entire continent from the north, and then turn south to reach the Principality of Imran.
Location.
Along the way, we have to pass through several pirate-infested areas, but there must be imperial warships escorting us all the way, and no one dares to have any strange thoughts about this freighter - pirates are no longer the same people who roamed the world in big ships hundreds of years ago.
The existence of pirates now exists in coastal areas in small speedboats. If they dare to make any changes in the face of warships, they will really die without knowing how they died...
Time passes slowly while sailing.
No matter how fast the freighter tries to catch up, it usually sails at a speed of about fifteen knots, so even if the route has shortened the distance between the two places as much as possible, it still takes almost half a month to arrive——
There are several time zones between that and the core area of the empire, and the country on the west side of the continent is indeed very far away.
Fortunately, Wang Yu and the others can afford to wait.
The intelligence given by the empire is very clear. Half a month is not enough time for a war to break out between the two countries.
They have plenty of time to reach Imran.
Long-distance boat trips are very boring. After setting off for a few days, you enter a state where there is nothing else to do.
Wang Yu and the others had to count the days on their fingers and figure out how long it would take for the ship to arrive.
Fortunately, the situation on the sea was calm during the voyage.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The sea seemed to be open to this freighter fleet, and there was no bad weather throughout the journey.
Therefore, the trip was not delayed too much due to bad weather.
Therefore, Wang Yu and the others, who had no fighter planes to fly and no simulators to play on the freighter, and could only kill the sailing time through various means, took this opportunity to enjoy the scenery between the oceans.
.
The sea is endless as far as the eye can see, the water and sky are the same color, it is vast and vast, you can describe it however you want.
I did feel this way at first, thinking that the world is vast and individuals are small, but as time goes by, it gradually becomes...
The sea, you are all water.
Just like the content of this chapter.
Wang Yu originally wanted to take this opportunity to teach his weapons controller some knowledge about fighter aircraft control, but Liu Lingxin refused decisively on the grounds of trouble. The thick flight manual made her scalp feel numb.
If you feel that you have spent so much energy learning weapon control, you should not take the initiative to contact flying again.
Obviously, not every weapons controller has the heart to be a pilot.
Look at Wenxuan's partner Chen Hui. That guy has also participated in flight training. Although the Strike Eagle may not be able to fly, it is enough to fly some early training jets, unlike Liu Lingxin, who can only fly a propeller to the limit.
.
Wang Yu gave up in the end, since Liu Lingxin didn’t need to learn to fly with him anyway.
Since he is currently unable to fly into the blue sky in a fighter plane, his pleasure has become watching the sunrise or sunset over the sea.
Whenever night falls, Wang Yu will lean on the side of the upper deck and look at the golden-red sea in the distance, which looks like it is on fire under the afterglow of the setting sun.
The sea and the sky exist in correspondence with each other. From the sea, you can see the reflection of the sky, and the sky is like a broader ocean.
Finally, after half a month of accelerated sailing, everyone on the freighter finally saw the coastline of the Principality of Imran.
They came to the other side of the continent.

This kind of transitional chapter is so difficult to write. I’m not good at it at all. Maybe it’s a bit too rough.
In addition, I would like to apologize to everyone who has given rewards - I am not writing a book full-time, so I am really beyond my ability to add updates. I can only thank everyone for their support at the end of the chapter.
