Chapter 62: Each Performs Its Functions
"Because, because I want to be an Air Force pilot too! No, I not only want to avenge my father, this is my long-standing idea, you can definitely help me, Comrade Rezenov--"
"Uh-I understand, I understand."
Finally recovering from the state of choking, Long Yun looked at the blonde girl with a sharp eyes, and something seemed to be burning in the girl's bright pupils; he knew very well that it was a kind of hot and firm belief. With such belief, he could fully believe that in time, the seemingly delicate girl in front of him could also become a well-established fighter pilot like his father--
Okay, let's stop here!
Not only through observation, but also through consciousness spying, Long Yun also felt the persistent belief in Aphrola's heart. He tilted his head and looked at the girl with a firm expression for a while, and then raised his hand a little unrestrainedly and gently put it on the girl's arm:
"I fully understand your thoughts. But Aphrola, you'd better not have such thoughts. I know you really want to fly a fighter plane and rush up to the blue sky to avenge your father; but if you ask me for my personal opinion, I think this is not the path that a young girl like you should take."
"For, why?"
Hearing the objection of the ace major general, he subconsciously asked. Aphrola was still passionate at this time, waiting for him to say some reasons that "it's too dangerous to do this", and then refute it passionately. However, Long Yun did not intend to talk about "danger" in general. These days, apart from eating at home and waiting to die, what is absolutely safe?
"Why? This question is easy to answer.
Aphrola, I personally do not object to women as pilots; after all, during the Great Patriotic War, the Red Air Force - Oh. At that time, it could only be called the Red Army, and more than one female ace pilot did emerge. The final record was determined to be twelve individually shot down Lilya Rikova was an outstanding representative. The combat experience of these female pilots fully proved that women can also fly fighter jets and make a difference on the battlefield, which I have no doubt about.
Of course, will it be difficult for women to drive fighter jets under modern technology? Can they bear the overload of violent maneuvers? Even if there is no problem at the moment, what if you get married and have children? - Oh, don't rush to refute me. I don't intend to use these false reasons to refute your ideas. The question I am considering now is, Aphrola, don't you think that women's participation in this war today is both a completely misplaced human abuse and a satire for us men?"
"'Sarcastic'? But-"
"Ah, then I'll say it more in detail."
Anyway, he has eaten his fill now, so there is nothing to do for the time being. Long Yun simply explained the truth to Aphrola in a long way, and he clapped his hands and continued:
"I think it's easy to understand the so-called 'ironic'. Aphrola. You probably know the staffing situation of the Red Air Force. How many female fighter pilots are there in the entire VVS now?
Yes, don’t show such an expression, but there is no one. The reason for this situation is that women cannot control fighter jets, but the current Soviet Union is completely different from the situation under the city during World War II. Even in the face of the entire NATO war threat, we still have enough manpower and a complete combat training system to deal with it.
Since there is enough manpower, what reason is there to make women active on the front line of cruel battles? The so-called 'war makes women go away'. Can we say that our young men can't even do this? So, even if female pilots appear in the fighter cockpit from a morale perspective, it is often the 'the alliance has reached the most dangerous time' - but now it is obvious that the situation is far from this point of view, isn't it?"
"With that being said, but... I really want to join the Air Force; and I am familiar with flying, even though I have not personally flew a fighter plane, isn't that okay?"
"Haha! I'm OK or not, of course I won't make the decision for you."
Seeing the blonde girl in front of her, Long Yun only felt that this handsome girl was really cute. Of course, he could not let such a delicate girl take risks on the battlefield. Even if this is just her personal wishful thinking, it is best not to have it:
"What I just said was a global consideration. Maybe you won't be too convinced after hearing this.
Well, let’s not talk about those macro considerations, just talk about your own situation; Aphrola, do you think our confrontation with Western countries is really only reflected in the wars on the battlefield?”
Speaking of this, Lianhe thoughts came to my mind, and Long Yun's words became more and more. Or after such a long time of time travel, he finally found an audience to instill his thoughts, "My answer is 'no'! Confrontation between countries has never been only military. There is a saying that you have heard: 'The contest between countries is actually a contest between mothers'; as a woman, instead of thinking about how to go to the battlefield and fight against the enemy, should she also consider the reality of the Soviet Union, at least she can do something within her ability in the competition of population and quality?"
"Ray, Comrade Rezenov, you..."
With the intention of refuting the "dangerous" argument, she heard Long Yun's high-profile talk about "contributing to the population competition", Aphrola Terrenskaya suddenly turned red. If she had not fully trusted the number one ace of the Red Air Force in front of her, she knew that he could not be saying anything, she would definitely think that this man was just a hooligan, "What are you talking about..."
"What's wrong? I'm talking about the problem with you very seriously?"
Seeing Aphrola's shy appearance, Long Yun felt that there was nothing to be shy about:
"Of course, the words may be a bit unpleasant, but it is true. Not to mention anything else, women may be as good as men in combat skills; but no matter how hard men work, they will never be able to have children, right? In other words, it is completely unacceptable to put women with both functions into positions that could be filled with men with a single purpose. You should understand it, Aphrola Borisyevna?"
"I……"
Facing Long Yun's keen eyes, his face became a little hot unconsciously. Aphrola lowered her head embarrassedly, and her eyelashes trembled slightly as her eyes moved.
Just now, with a passionate impulse, she was originally planning to join the Air Force very seriously. After all, as the daughter of a pilot, she has learned relevant knowledge in the aviation school and has also flew several junior trainers. She felt that she could become a qualified Red Air Force pilot. But now, facing the Red Air Force number one ace in front of her, Victor was filled with a wonderful charm. When she heard his unique analysis of the viewpoint, although she was a little blushing and heartbeat, she had to admit that what he said was very correct.
To put it bluntly, men and women are different after all, and they play different roles in society. She still knows this truth.
It seemed that there was a deer bumping around in my heart, and the girl full of worries was still stunned on the chair; and Long Yun beside him could see Aphrola's thoughts clearly at this time, knowing that she had figured out the truth and temporarily gave up the idea of joining the Red Air Force, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Alas, women should not participate in war...
With such thoughts, he could understand his revenge for Aphrola; Boris Edmundovitch Derzhinsky, of course, the revenge of Lieutenant Colonel comrades must be avenged. This matter does not require anyone to say a word, and it should naturally fall on him, Victor Rezenov.
He raised his hand and saw that it was getting late. Long Yun woke up Aphrola who was meditating and asked her to clean up her room. He was preparing to go to the regiment headquarters for a meeting. While he was speaking, his eyes were staring at the beautiful blonde woman. He pondered for a moment before speaking:
"I will ask the Americans for an explanation about Aphrola, Comrade Boris Edmundovitch."
“…”
Stopped the busyness in her hands and looked up at the man in front of her with a firm expression. Aphrola felt a complicated feeling in her heart. She bit her lips and looked back at Long Yun for a moment, with a trace of deliberate concern in her voice:
"Then... I'll ask you, Comrade Rezenov. But please be careful and don't take risks... OK?"
"Okay, please don't worry."
...
After the conversation in the single room of the barracks, the news from Dnepropetrovsk was conveyed at the delegation headquarters meeting. Long Yun and the regiment commander and others discussed for a while before leaving.
When the delegation headquarters was having a meeting, he had already received news from the airport tower that the delegation had sent people to the Yerhof base early yesterday morning to fly back his White No. 20 su-27s. Now the White No. 20, which was landing back, has been pulled into the warehouse and is preparing for a complete inspection and maintenance.
For this plane that had just accompanied me through life and death, and even killed three B-1b "lancers" with me, I still needed to drive her to perform more difficult tasks. Now he certainly needs to understand the situation. In addition, Long Yun now has some basic mature plans, that is, he just agreed to Aphrola at noon, and he decided to implement it in an extremely ostentatious form.
White No. 19, which once attacked side by side, has fallen on the land of Asia Minor.
But facing these opponents with twitching claws, he would soon make them understand that even if they lose their heroic wingman, the "Caucasus Death" would never be alone!
