Chapter 51 Change and Change

Not only Bai Zhizhan was received, but also Major General Gui Boyong, the commander of the First Aviation Special Mixed Fleet, and Brigadier General Li Yunxiang of the First Shipboard Air Force.

Both of them are commanders, and their military ranks and positions are above Bai Zhizhan.

After Bai Zhizhan changed his clothes and arrived on the flight deck, Li Yunxiang had already landed in the torpedo attack aircraft, and the ground crew were busy preparing for the takeoff.

Punching Li Yunxiang from the Army can be said to be the most beautiful thing Bai Zhizhan did.

In fact, it is not all the credit for Bai Zhizhan.

In the year when the war ended, Li Yunxiang joined a group of aviation officers, committed to making the aviation officers independent of the army and establishing a brand new branch. Unfortunately, in the trend of large-scale disarmament, there was no way to think about the establishment of the air force. As a result, hundreds of officers of the army aviation officers were cleaned afterwards. Although Li Yunxiang was not on the list of cleaning, he was a household war hero after all, after this incident, he was disheartened with the army, and Bai Zhizhan took this opportunity to hand over the olive branch.

It would be fine if Li Yunxiang changed jobs alone, but he also brought in a group of army pilots, and these people became the seeds of naval carrier-based aviation!

Back then, the incident of Li Yunxiang's job-changing Navy caused a lot of controversy, and the Army and Navy almost went to court.

From this perspective, Li Yunxiang is definitely the first person in the Imperial Navy's carrier-based aviation force.

In addition, he was the first carrier-based aircraft pilot to complete takeoff and landing in the Imperial Navy and the first carrier-based flight instructor.

Before being transferred to the commander of the First Ship-Board Air Force, Li Yunxiang served as an instructor at the Naval Aviation School affiliated to the Naval Academy, and worked until the Provost, training hundreds of ship-based pilots. Until now, Li Yunxiang's disciples have been the core backbone of the Imperial Navy's ship-based aviation.

However, Bai Zhizhan knew that Li Yunxiang's mind was still on the other side.

It’s not that the Navy is not good enough to him, but that the Navy’s platform is too small to let him show his ambitions.

During his time as an instructor, Li Yunxiang wrote several papers, comprehensively and in-depth elaborating on the value of the air force, and put forward military ideas that regard comprehensive strike as the core. In his words, in the future, wars will be determined by air supremacy. The most effective way to win air supremacy is not to dispatch fighters and shoot down enemy aircraft on the battlefield, but to dispatch bombers to destroy all enemy aircraft on the ground.

Obviously, the Navy cannot give the bomber that Li Yunxiang wants.

After Bai Zhizhan and Gui Boyong got into the cabin, Li Yunxiang started the engine and then made a ready gesture to the ground crew.

There is an extra-large secondary fuel tank hanging on the abdomen of the torpedo attack aircraft, and it takes off with full oil, and it requires a catapult.

“Are you ready?”

"alright!"

Bai Zhizhan was at the machine gunner's position behind, leaving the middle position of the spacious point to Gui Boyong.

In the past twenty years, Gui Boyong has changed a lot.

Of course, it is mainly reflected in waist circumference and weight.

In his words, time is unforgiving, and everyone will have the day when middle-aged people get fat. Even if he has passed middle-aged people long ago, he is not far from old age.

He is also the one with the least changes, mainly reflected in military rank and position.

Twenty years ago, he was the brigade general of the army, and now he is just a major general of the army. He is the first and only commander of the First Aviation Squadron, and is still the commander of the First Aviation Special Mixed Fleet. He personally promoted Bai Zhizhan, and is still Bai Zhizhan's immediate boss.

In fact, he is also one of the people Bai Zhizhan respects the most.

Not only because he is the immediate boss, but also because of his obscurity and his dedication to be willing to act as a green leaf.

Li Yunxiang has long been a household name, and Bai Zhizhan is also famous in the navy, but what about Gui Boyong?

When it comes to the First Aviation Special Mixed Fleet, the first thing that comes to mind is Bai Zhizhan. Those who are familiar with the Navy also know Li Yunxiang. Only after reminding will they know that the First Aviation Special Mixed Fleet is the commander not them, but a major general named Gui Boyong, who is in his fifties.

Gui Boyong's greatest contribution is actually to give way to Bai Zhizhan and leave room for growth and development to Bai Zhizhan.

As the roar of the engine increased, a huge force acted on the torpedo attack aircraft and then flew out of the deck.

It feels like being pushed out of an aircraft carrier.

Although this is not the first time he takes off from an aircraft carrier on a carrier-based aircraft, Bai Zhizhan is always frightened, feeling that this bulky torpedo could fall head-on into the sea.

Fortunately, that was just his concern.

After rushing out of the flight deck, the torpedo attack aircraft fell several meters along the parabolic trajectory, and then pulled up.

After climbing up a thousand meters above the altitude and turning into a flat flight, Bai Zhizhan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Relax?

That will take until the plane lands.

"Boss Gui, do you know why the above asked us to go back?" Li Yunxiang opened the conversation and closed the communication station before opening his mouth.

No matter what they say, only the three of them can hear it.

"Boss" is the nickname Li Yunxiang gave Gui Boyong.

In Li Yunxiang's words, the two motherships of the First Aviation Special Mixed Fleet are like hotels of the carrier-based aviation force, and the commander of the Special Mixed Fleet became the owner of the hotel.

"I'm afraid there won't be any good things."

"You still need to say it?" Li Yunxiang obviously felt that Gui Boyong was dealing with him and did not tell the truth.

"Xiaobai, what's the one your sister-in-law introduced last time? Are you still in contact?" Gui Boyong took this opportunity to change the topic.

"Boss Gui, why did it touch me again?" Bai Zhizhan was speechless.

Regarding personal issues, Bai Zhizhan has always regarded Marshal Zhu Shijian as a role model. However, he did not have a childhood sweetheart who had to bow down. This is why he was in his forties and did not even get married, and he did not even have a partner to spend a long time together.

Gui Boyong was also worried about this.

In fact, Bai Zhizhan was also helpless.

Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, three hundred days are on the sea, and the other sixty-five days are also busy handling various official duties for at least fifty days. Not to mention anything else, the fleet exercises every year will take several months to go out to sea, and you have to spend a lot of time doing your homework.

"I'm actually worried that after I go back this time, I'm afraid it's hard to have free time."

"Have you had any free time before?" Li Yunxiang continued without hesitation. "But then, Xiaobai is really. He is in his forties? A few days ago, I heard several officers and soldiers discussing privately, saying whether their chief of staff had problems in that aspect."

Bai Zhizhan rolled his eyes and was completely speechless at Li Yunxiang.

Although Li Yunxiang is also a 50-year-old, his son entered the military academy last year and his daughter is about to get married. However, he has been hiding with young officers and soldiers all year round, and he is even more polite when making jokes. The key is that his appearance does not look old at all, and he looks in his thirties.

"Old Li, I'll sleep for a while and call me when I'm here."

"So, I'll bother you."

After saying that, Bai Zhizhan deliberately yawned a few times before taking off his headphones.

The Navy Command suddenly ordered the end of the ongoing fleet exercises and sent a telegram to ask Bai Zhizhan and the others to return. Something serious must have happened.

Based on the international situation in the past two years, Bai Zhizhan has to believe that Gui Boyong did not say anything nonsense.
