Arrival! Su Hai frowned when he saw the figure coming down from the military vehicle. This figure seemed a little familiar!
He hadn't even taken office yet, and he had already made a first-class contribution?
What kind of immortal was this!
First-class merit!
He was not envious of second-class merits, but first-class merits. Even though they had been soldiers for so many years, they had only achieved first-class merits once. Some of them had even achieved collective first-class merits.
The difference between a first-class and a second-class martial art might not seem big, but in reality, the difference was too great.
It was not too difficult to obtain second-class merit.
It was always possible to work hard.
However, the difficulty of a first-class technique was ten times or even ten times higher than a second-class technique.
Not to mention a senior colonel like him, even a major general like Wu Zhongming, who had made outstanding contributions, would not be able to ignore the first-class medal.
This represented honor!
It represented its possession and the illustrious achievements it had made for this country!
However, Chu Xiao's attention quickly shifted away from the first-class merit mountain and asked in a surprised tone,""Old leader, you just said that Xia-337 was controlled by our new commander?”
" I'm not too sure about the exact situation. I only heard that the captain of Xia-337 suddenly fainted and the co-pilot did not dare to control the plane. It was the new commander-in-chief who took the flight who successfully landed the plane at Sanjiang International Airport and saved more than 200 lives.”
Hiss!
Hearing this, Chu Xiao could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
No wonder they had achieved first-class merits before they even took office. There were more than 200 people!
Just thinking about this number made one's heart tremble.
Not to mention more than 200 people, even saving one person would be a heaven-defying credit.
However, Chu Xiao was even more curious about the fact that the new commander-in-chief knew how to fly a passenger plane.
Although it was not as complicated and dangerous to operate a passenger plane as a fighter plane, there were many passengers, and the pilot was under a lot of pressure. When it came to performing, those who were not particularly confident in their own strength would definitely be affected.
Of course, this was not the most important thing.
Most importantly, without a certain amount of pilot experience, it was impossible to control a passenger plane.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiao couldn't help but take a deep breath."Old leader, the new commander-in-chief used to be an air force pilot?”
He could only think that way. Only an Air Force pilot could control the plane to land.
There was another reason why he asked this question. Generally speaking, most of the leaders of the Air Force were not Air Force pilots.
Similar to the flying academy, other than the flying department, there was also the command department and so on.
The Flight Department trained specialized Air Force pilots.
As for the command system, it nurtured the commanders of the air force.
Of course, there were also some who became leaders in the Air Force.
This was because pilots in the Air Force either did not retire or were promoted very quickly once they retired and took up other positions.
There was another point. Before Air Force pilots retired, most of them were already of a high level.
Air Force pilots were easier to promote than any other military service. This was a unique attribute of the Air Force, and the other military services could not be envious of it.
Hearing Chu Xiao's question, Wu Zhongming shook his head and said,"You're asking the wrong person. If I knew if he was a pilot before, I would know who he was. I advise you to not worry about this.”
"Besides, the Xia-337 flight has landed in a different world. It looks like the people are almost there. When they arrive, you will naturally know.”
Wu Zhongming's words made Chu Xiao lose his temper.
The old leader himself did not know, and he was not curious. Naturally, he would not go to the department head to ask about this, let alone call the headquarters directly.
However, although Wu Zhongming didn't want to ask, he still said before hanging up,""If you know, tell me later. I also want to know who that person sent this time.”
As soon as he said this, Chu Xiao could already confirm that Wu Zhongming really did not know who the new commander-in-chief was.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have specially added such a sentence.
"Old Leader, you go ahead. I'll tell Old Terry and the others about the situation.”
Chu Xiao hung up.
At this moment, Su Hai and Tian Wei both looked over.
"How is it?"
"Does the old leader know about the situation?"
Tian Wei hurriedly asked.
Chu Xiao nodded, then shook his head,"We might have misunderstood the new commander-in-chief this time. He was late not because he wanted to show us his might, but because there was a problem with the Xia-337 flight, which delayed him.”
Hearing this, the two of them were stunned at the same time, and their faces were filled with doubt.
"What do you mean?" Tian Wei asked.”
Chu Xiao took a deep breath and told the two of them the news that Wu Zhongming had learned.
Almost at the same time, Su Hai and Tian Wei both sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Is the commander-in-chief alright?"
Su Hai asked with concern.
"It was a close call, but not a close one. He even made a first-class contribution. Of course, this is just a guess, but he saved more than two hundred people.”Chu Xiao shook his head.
Soon, Su Hai reacted and turned pale with fright. He looked at Chu Xiao with a shocked expression,"Are you saying that our new commander-in-chief made a first-class contribution on his way here?”
Although Tian Wei did not say anything, he still looked at Chu Xiao in shock.
Chu Xiao nodded solemnly." Something like that. Although I'm surprised by the first-class merit, what's even more shocking is that our new commander-in-chief seems to have been an air force pilot before. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to control a passenger plane to land successfully."”
" Not many people are promoted as Air Force pilots. Many Air Force pilots, when they are older and unable to pilot fighter jets, basically choose to become flight instructors. As a result, there are not many people left.”
"There's one more thing. I think the old leader is right. Chief Kong's judgment can't be wrong. Even if the people he chooses aren't stronger than the old leader, they definitely won't be bad. Moreover, they shouldn't be old.”
"Old Chu, now that you mention it, there's no one who fits the criteria.”
Tian Wei interjected," Although we don't know all the major generals in the air force, we at least know them. There are only a few of them. Moreover, their predecessors graduated from the flying department, so there are even fewer people. No one meets the requirements at all."”
" If you say that a commander-in-chief from another air force base or even from the Southern Air Force dropped down, I might believe you. But from the Central Air Force…"
He didn't say it clearly, but he shook his head.
Obviously, he didn't agree with Chu Xiao's guess.
The people that Zong Kong sent this time were probably not trained by Zong Kong, but from Nankong or Beikong.
However, the higher-ups were very tight-lipped this time. Although everyone knew that someone was going to replace Wu Zhongming, there was no news about who would take over.
"Old Chu, it's not that I'm doubting you, but I believe that our old leader must have guessed who will take over the position of commander-in-chief. He didn't say anything, probably because he couldn't confirm it.”
"He's standing at a high position, so he can't even guess who it is. I think we shouldn't guess randomly. If we guess wrongly, it will affect our judgment.”
Although Tian Wei had a bad temper, his mind was very clear when he calmed down.
Su Hai also felt that what Tian Wei said was very reasonable. He nodded and continued,"Indeed. If we guess correctly, it would be a good thing for us. But if we guess wrongly, not only would our preparations be in vain, but it would also affect our judgment. At that time, it would be easy for us to outsmart ourselves.”
"The new commander-in-chief was late because of the flight. It's obvious that he didn't want to use this to intimidate us. Perhaps the new commander-in-chief is very easy to talk to.”
Looking at the two people who were already united, Chu Xiao could only shrug his shoulders."Then I won't guess. However, I really have to thank the new commander-in-chief for taking the flight himself. Otherwise, these 200-plus lives would have been finished.”
Chu Xiao let out a long sigh as he felt a lingering fear.
If the new commander-in-chief didn't take the Xia-337 flight, what would be the final outcome of this flight?
He did not dare to think about it.
Perhaps, the co-pilot pulled himself together with everyone's encouragement and stumbled back to the plane.
Although there might be some problems along the way, there wouldn't be any major accidents.
It was also possible that the co-pilot's operation was improper and the landing time was destroyed.
Of course, there was a greater possibility that everyone could do nothing about the crash of Xia-337.
Other than the first outcome, no one could accept or accept any of the other outcomes.
More than 200 people meant that there were more than 200 families involved, and there were thousands of people involved.
Su Hai and Tian Wei didn't say anything and fell into silence.
However, he felt extremely fortunate in his heart.
Xia-337 was really lucky to land safely.
"Actually, we should have gone to pick them up ourselves. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been so anxious here.”Chu Xiao sighed.
"If the higher-ups don't allow it, we can't do anything!”Tian Wei smiled helplessly. Originally, they were going to pick him up at Sanjiang International Airport, but they were rejected by General Kong.
They didn't dare to mess around, so they had no choice but to wait at the base and send someone to pick them up.
"Since you're here, then take it as it is. There's no need to be anxious. There's not much difference between seeing you sooner or later. If you really want to know, just call Little Jiang.”Su Hai smiled.
Chu Xiao and the others were tempted, but after thinking about it, they decided to forget it.
If he called later, the new commander-in-chief would be in the car. Should Little Jiang pick up or not?
It was not good to pick it up, nor was it good to not pick it up.
He might as well not make this call.
……
Sanjiang International Airport.
A dark green military vehicle was parked at the side. The young soldier, Little Jiang, held a sign that read Haidong First Air Force Base. He looked left and right and waited patiently.
However, as time passed, it was already half an hour past the scheduled time, and no one had come. Little Jiang's heart was a little uneasy. Could it be that he had not received anyone?
Thinking of this possibility, Little Jiang's face instantly turned pale.
If he didn't pick her up, he would be scolded to death when he went back.
In a more serious case, it wasn't impossible for them to be chased out of Haidong First Air Force Base.
He looked around nervously, but he still did not see anyone walking towards him.
However, because of his military uniform and the military vehicle beside him, he attracted the attention of many people.
There were even passengers who came out of the car and took photos with their phones.
Little Jiang knew about this.
It was just a military vehicle, so it was fine to take a photo. It would not reveal any national military secrets, so he was too lazy to remind him.
Little Jiang's attention was basically still on the passengers who kept coming out.
Especially some middle-aged men in their forties or fifties.
The commander-in-chief of Haidong First Air Force Base was probably not young.
Of course, it wouldn't be too big.
In Nankong, the commander-in-chief of the air force base was usually not too old.
Just as Little Jiang was looking around, a young man suddenly caught his attention.
"It's finally settled."
Su Yuan walked out of the airport lobby and couldn't help but stretch.
He had thought that he would only need to control the plane to land. He did not expect there to be so many complicated things to do.
Fortunately, because of his special status, the airport was also a special case. He only needed to fill out a form.
After walking out of the airport lobby, Su Yuan looked around and finally saw Little Jiang holding a sign. He didn't think much and walked over.
Little Jiang looked warily at Su Yuan who was walking towards him.
This young man's gaze had not left the airport since he walked out of the lobby. At this moment, he was walking towards him. In an instant, he thought about many things.
Although he was still holding the sign in his hand, his body was in a defensive position.
Su Yuan didn't pay attention to this. He walked closer to Little Jiang and saluted him."Hello, I'm Su Yuan..."
"Sir, I don't want to take a photo with you."
Before Su Yuan could finish his words, Little Jiang interrupted him.
Su Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he didn't know whether to laugh or cry."I'm not asking for a photo."
After he finished speaking, he handed over his military officer ID.
Little Jiang naturally knew about the military officer certificate. He took it with a puzzled expression and carefully opened it.
Name: Su Yuan
[Date of Birth: …]
[Military Dependant: Southern Sky Command]
[Position: Commander-in-chief of Haidong First Air Force Base]
[Military Rank: Major General]
Initially, he had only opened it out of curiosity and doubt. However, when Little Jiang saw the contents displayed inside, he was completely stunned.
Major General?
Little Jiang couldn't help but rub his eyes. When he took a closer look, he realized that he was a 22-year-old major general.
Seeing this, Little Jiang was dumbfounded.
If he wasn't familiar with the military officer's certificate and knew that there was nothing wrong with it, he would have suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes.
A 22-year-old major general? He would believe that he was a major, but a major general would be crazy!
How could there be such an awesome person?
No one would believe a twenty-year-old major. As for a major general, anyone would think he was crazy.
However, Little Jiang was really shocked. The hand holding the military officer's certificate kept trembling.
Little Jiang's body trembled as he handed the military officer's certificate to Su Yuan and said in a low voice,""Chief…"
"Hello, I'm Su Yuan, the commander-in-chief of Haidong First Air Force Base.”
Su Yuan saluted Little Jiang.
A genuine general with a heavy fist is returning the favor?
Although he was a little young…
Little Jiang was still so scared that he was about to cry. At this moment, he was nervous and did not know what to say. He could only quickly say,"Chief…Chief, get in the car. The three division commanders are already waiting for you at the base.”
Su Yuan did not waste any time and stepped into the Fierce Warrior Military Vehicle.
Little Jiang drove the car nervously. From time to time, he would glance at Su Yuan through the rearview mirror. The shock in his eyes had never subsided.
A twenty-two-year-old major general. Oh my god, if I told you, I would be beaten to death.
Fortunately, not long after, as the car drove, Little Jiang's mood relaxed a lot.
While waiting for the red light, she sent a message to Su Hai.
On the other side.
Haidong First Air Force Base.
Su Hai, who received the message, quickly raised his head and looked at Chu Xiao and the other two. He said excitedly,"Two of you, Little Jiang has already picked up the people and is on his way. If nothing goes wrong, he will arrive at the base in 20 minutes. Let's get ready to welcome the commander-in-chief.”
Hearing this, Chu Xiao and the other two also revealed a look of joy.
He relaxed slightly.
"It's finally coming."
The three of them looked at each other and nodded slightly. Their emotions were more or less fluctuating.
As the time was getting closer and closer, Su Hai and the others waited at the entrance of the base. From time to time, they would look into the distance.
Not long after, a military vehicle appeared in everyone's vision. Everyone's breathing stopped at this moment.
They had arrived!
The military vehicle slowly stopped. As everyone held their breaths and focused, a young figure got out of the car.
Su Hai and the other two were stunned.
Did the new commander-in-chief bring all the juniors of his family?
Among the three of them, Su Hai frowned. This figure... seemed a little familiar!
