Chapter 165 Expansion
() "Good morning, General." When Ron appeared in the morning jogging team as usual, MacGeah, who was running next to him, winked and said to him, "What a wonderful night it was last night!"
"Come on, Mike, don't rub salt into Commander Ron's wounds. The commander came back at 11 o'clock last night." A guy added. It takes an hour and a half to drive from the base to the city, that is,
It was said that Ron would be on his way back at 9:30 at most. And the show ended at 8:00 sharp, so Ron only stayed with Nadya for a little more than an hour.
"Ah, in this case, Chief Ron is not charming enough." Banger also intervened.
"Nonsense, you don't understand Chief Ron's style at all. Chief has always been very efficient, and he can already do a lot of things in an hour and a half. It's just that, sir, you throw people back as soon as they're done. You're so kind.
Cruel heart!" In the last half of the sentence, McGaia deliberately pinched his throat, tried hard to imitate a woman's voice, and deliberately put on a resentful expression.
With a bang, the morning jogging team burst into laughter, and the whole team was in chaos.
"McGaea, if you really want to become a woman, we can all help you!" Ron's face darkened.
"Boss, I didn't mean to..."
…
There is nothing going on with the Bat Incendiaries these days, so Ron must take advantage of this opportunity to quickly complete the plan for the expansion of the "Reverse Cross".
Ron plans to first complete the easier reorganization plan of the fighter force. The two squadrons of the fighter force are now basically arranged like this. Of the two squadrons, the "Cerberus" squadron is mainly responsible for training escort fighter pilots how to deal with enemy interceptor groups.
It conducts large group battles, while the "Black Angel" squadron is mainly responsible for fighter pilots' single aircraft and small group battles. But now, the tasks of these two squadrons must be adjusted.
According to Ron's idea, of the two squadrons, one should be responsible for the training of high-altitude escort, and the other should be responsible for the training of hunting and ground attack. It is just a matter of who is adjusted to be responsible for hunting and ground attack.
The ground attack has not yet been determined. Ron feels that he should discuss this issue with his pilots.
"Let's do a survey first to see what the pilots want." McGea told Ron at the meeting.
"It's not very useful. Believe it or not, the vast majority of pilots will choose safari and ground missions." Banger said, "As for me, I have long been tired of playing high-altitude escort. I have long been tired of it.
I believe that most pilots have similar thoughts to mine. Just like you, if you were given a choice, what would you rather do?"
MacGyah pursed his lips and did not answer.
"Or we can classify the pilots according to their personal technical characteristics. For example, pilots from the Pacific Theater are more suitable for low-altitude missions because our usual combat altitudes are lower." Banger said again.
"It's not fair! What you dealt with in the Pacific was the Japanese, but what we have to make changes now is the European battlefield. Of course, what we came from the European battlefield should be the first choice. What's more..."
"How about this? Let's recruit some pilots from Europe. I know that during the recent safari, many good pilots were produced among them."
"But the fighter force has not been expanded, so some of us will have to leave the Reverse Cross."
"If I can be like Boyington when I go out, and fly a plane to the battlefield from time to time to improve my record, I would be willing to leave. Damn it, that old guy from Boyington has recently achieved a record of eight airplanes.
." MacGeah's eyes immediately lit up.
"Dream!" Ron said, "Don't think that you will definitely be able to join a combat unit if you leave here. This chance is so small that it is almost non-existent. The Army Aviation has many other aviation schools, and General Arnold said he plans to build more
He hopes to poach some people from us at the aviation school. That is to say, if you leave, there is an 80% chance that you will go to an aviation school and continue to be an instructor. Of course, you will probably have official positions and military ranks.
promoted."
Arnold did have this idea. In his opinion, the instructors of the "Reverse Cross" not only had top-notch flying skills, but after they stayed in the "Reverse Cross" for so long, the level of the instructors must also have improved significantly. And then put them
If you go to other flight schools, you can quickly improve the level of all aviation schools affiliated with the Army Aviation. In Arnold's view, "Reverse Cross" is not only a pilot training school, but also an instructor training school.
"Then what's the other 20 percent?"
"Enter a research institution and become a test pilot, or a tactical consultant or something. But if you take this path, you may not get a chance for promotion." Ron replied.
"The chance of becoming a squadron leader in a combat unit is not even 1%?" McGaea asked.
"No!" Ron answered very simply.
"If anyone is interested in these two destinations, you can write a report to me. Of course, I do not guarantee that your request will be approved."
…
The plan for the "Reverse Cross" reform has set off a wave in the team. In their spare time, you can see pilots gathering in twos and threes in many places to discuss this matter.
"It's not bad to go to other aviation schools. Being promoted to a military position is a real good thing."
"Of course promotion in the military is a good thing, but if you ask me, being a test pilot is more exciting. You are the first to fly all the latest and most advanced aircraft in the United States. You are not the one who flies the rest. And test flights
Although test pilots will not be promoted to military rank as soon as they leave, the chances of promotion in the future are not necessarily smaller than in other aviation schools. Moreover, test pilots’ income is very high.”
"But……"
…
In an office of the Strategic Intelligence Service, a group of people were discussing. A thin old man asked:
"Nadia has been in contact with General Ron for several days. Is there any progress in the investigation against her?"
"We are unable to conduct a comprehensive investigation into her activities in the Soviet Union. However, our people have collected some posters from the ballet company she is in. Her name first appeared on a poster two years ago. According to the customs clearance information,
Information, she is 19 years old this year, that is to say, she entered this ballet company at the age of 17. This is an appropriate age, but it is not on that poster
Her photos. You know that even now, she is not the mainstay of this dance group. There were photos of her on a poster earlier this year, but the size of the photos was very small. Although the figure is the same as this one now
They match, but the facial features are not very clear, so we can't yet tell whether she is the real Nadya." A fat man wearing glasses replied.
"So, what do our artists think of her skills?"
"We recorded some of the performances of this dance troupe in the United States. Our artists made a technical analysis of the performances of the actors of this art troupe. Needless to say, the heroine Ulanova, the other actors
The level is also above the standard. As for Nadya, except for a few mistakes in one performance
In addition, in general, the level is quite good. In addition, the influence of Ulanova can be clearly seen in her performance. Experts believe that even if the talent is very good, it is impossible to reach such a level in a short period of time. To
To reach this level, it takes at least 3-5 years of professional training of 6 hours a day."
"What about her living habits?"
"Before she met General Ron, she basically never left the dance troupe except for group activities. But these days, she returned to the dance troupe before 9:30 pm. And even when she was dating someone, she
They almost never eat and never drink sweet drinks. This is also a characteristic of ballerinas. They must ensure that their weight does not exceed the standard, otherwise they will tire the male actors to death."
"From this point of view, the possibility that Nadya is a professional spy is not very high. But we cannot rule out the possibility that she is a temporary spy." The thin old man said, "So, the surveillance on her cannot be relaxed."
The so-called temporary spies refer to people who have not received professional training but undertake espionage tasks. In fact, many times, spies are not necessarily the well-trained masters in the film.
…
"Uncle, aunt...ah, no, my sister is so beautiful. Why don't you buy her a flower?" Ron and Nadya were walking on a tree-lined avenue with flickering lights, when a little girl in her teens appeared.
Suddenly he appeared in front of them holding a bouquet of flowers.
"Okay, give me one?" Ron said as he picked a pink rose from the little girl's hand and handed it to Nadya's hand.
"Flowers go with beauties! Alas, in a blink of an eye, it's nine o'clock again." Ron looked at his watch and said, "You have to go back again. I really don't understand how you, a ballet company, can be managed more strictly than the army."
."
"There's nothing I can do about it. If a ballet dancer doesn't take strict control of herself, her artistic life will be very short. And you know, people like us start ballet training from a young age. I'm from
I started practicing dancing when I was nine years old. Over the years, besides dancing, I don’t know what else I can do.” Nadya frowned and said, “Teacher Ulanova said that most girls take this path.
when they were still very young
, generally do not have very good self-control. If they must take the path of ballet, then for the sake of their future, the ballet company must formulate extremely strict regulations. I think what Teacher Ulanova said is right.
Do you know, I like to eat ice cream the most. If there were no rules to control me, I would have turned into a little fat man." At this point, Nadya may have thought of how she would turn into a little fat man, and couldn't help laughing.
Got up.
"It's not easy!" Ron exclaimed, "You ballerinas live a life that is simply not human. The 6-8 hours of training a day is harder than our training. Oh, by the way, how can you
He stood up on tiptoes and spun around. I tried it when I had nothing to do, but I couldn't stand and almost sprained my foot."
"You, you stand on tiptoes?" Nadya laughed and bent down, "Actors don't need to stand on tiptoes, they are all half-tiptoes! You actually stand on tiptoes! Well, maybe I should recommend you to
