() Ron sat at his desk, with a stack of applications in front of him. These were applications sent by pilots who planned to leave the "Reverse Cross". The development space that the "Reverse Cross" can provide is quite limited.

Although there are rumors that after Ron completes the adjustment of the "Reverse Cross", he will be transferred to a certain combat wing to become the wing leader. The position he leaves behind is very important to most pilots.

Attractive. But most pilots also understand that this position is not their turn. In contrast, if they go to other places, their chances of promotion will be much greater. Therefore, many senior pilots have applied for transfer.

.

However, the most critical people, such as the two original squadron commanders Banger and McGea, have no intention of transferring. Ron knows that they are probably eyeing the position of flight group leader now, and this position can also be provided.

A higher military rank, and once Ron is really transferred after completing the expansion of the "Reverse Cross" as rumored, then they will also have the opportunity to compete for the position left by Ron. For them,

Staying in the "reverse cross" is the best choice.

Although there are some pilots who know that the position of group leader will definitely not be their turn, Banger and MacGeah will definitely leave room for them. Moreover, don’t those newly formed squadrons not need squadron leaders? General Ron will never

Will a newcomer who knows nothing about the operation of the "Reverse Cross" be made the captain?

A total of fifteen pilots have applied for transfer, but Ron does not intend to approve so many. Because this number has exceeded one-third of the existing pilots of "Reverse Cross". To transfer so many people at one time,

It will have a certain impact on the operation of the "Reverse Cross" and is not conducive to the stability of the "Reverse Cross". Ron only plans to send away at most 10 people, and the others must be retained. Now Ron must weigh whether he should retain

Who will be next?

"I think we should give priority to approving their applications in order of age." Ron said to several squadron leaders, squad leaders and other officers attending the meeting, "This way the older ones can get it earlier.

A higher military rank. What do you think?"

"Those who plan to go to other aviation schools can follow this principle, but those who want to become test pilots should not follow this principle?"

"I think those who are willing to be test pilots should be given priority to those who are older and have a longer flying time." McGea said, "Those who apply for this position are those who truly love flying. The youth of a pilot is so precious, and young people still have

You can wait a little longer.”

"Okay." Ron said, "We will sort out the people who are not allowed to leave this time according to their age and flight time, and then I will talk to these brothers. Now, let's discuss it, and we will add it in

Scott, please send the relevant documents to everyone."

Ron's staff officer, Scott, distributed some documents to the participating officers.

"This is the basic situation of the new ace pilots emerging in the Army Aviation during this period. Let's take a look, and then we will work together to determine the candidates to supplement the fighter force." Ron said.

The conference room became quiet, and everyone lowered their heads to look through the information.

"Hey, this John C. Maia is very interesting." MacGeah said, "Look, there are eight ground targets destroyed. Such a person must be brought in. There is also this one named Harry.

, a total of 12 kills, 8 of which were obtained during safari, um, 5 of them were jets. This is a safari expert."

"This person seems to have been trained from us?" Banger said.

"Yes, and he later served in the United States and Soviet Union Air Force under me." Ron said, "He was very outstanding when I was still there."

"It turned out to be an old subordinate of the general. This person also needs to be brought in." MacGeah continued, "This guy named George Rawls is also a weirdo. He only shot down 5, which is just enough to qualify as an ace. However,

Look at this guy’s ground attack performance. Hey, there are 25 ground targets, including cars, trains, planes, anti-aircraft guns, and tanks. Such a person should be fished out immediately. Well, the ground attack is very good.

It’s dangerous. If you take action too slowly, it will be a disaster if you get shot down!”

"How can this guy be a fighter pilot? Get it and put it directly into the planned attack aircraft squadron!"

"Be careful, don't keep focusing on the ground results! What we are selecting today are pilots to add to the fighter force. But, don't deviate from the main goal." Ron said.

"This is good, Francis S. Gablaski, the 30 achievements were all achieved in escort operations. He is a very powerful guy." Banger said, "There is also this - George E. Bush

Roddy also has a score of 22, including 6 for hunting and 5 for ground attack. He is quite versatile. The newcomers emerging now are really good. Hurry and get them. If it is too late, the number of kills of these guys will be

It’s too much to surpass us.”

"Hahaha..." Everyone including Ron laughed.

…

The fighter force of the "Reverse Cross" is only adjusted, but the attack aircraft force is completely new. This involves a series of issues, the first of which is the issue of the commanders of these two forces. In the "Reverse Cross"

The officers are all fighters. Although they have dabbled in ground attacks, they are probably not proficient. However, the new personnel are not familiar with the operation of the "Reverse Cross". It is better for the two types of personnel to cooperate with each other.

.

The expanded "Inverse Cross" refers to the number of aircraft and flight personnel. According to the establishment of the U.S. Army Aviation, it is a wing. A U.S. wing is divided into four groups, but the organization method of the group is different from that of the current Chinese People's Air Force.

They are completely different. The American brigade is divided according to functions. A brigade consists of a combat brigade, a maintenance brigade, a mission support brigade (ground support), and a medical brigade.

There are no problems with the maintenance group, mission support group, and medical group. The personnel in these departments are easy to deal with, and Arnold has plenty of them. But the problem with the combat group is troublesome. According to general American habits, there are only four people at most under a combat group.

Squadron. But there is a problem here in the "Reverse Cross". In addition to the two fighter squadrons under the "Reverse Cross", there will also be two attack aircraft\light bomber squadrons. In addition, there will also be a larger-scale

Simulate the strength of the enemy's low-altitude air defense forces. In this way, it seems that there will be 5 squadrons under the "Reverse Cross" combat group.

And this is not the most terrible thing. In a general wing, all combat squadrons have the same combat missions. If a wing is a fighter wing, all combat squadrons use fighter jets; if it is a bomber wing,

All squadrons are equipped with bombers. However, the "Reverse Cross" has fighters, bombers, and ground air defense. It is really difficult to deal with such a hodgepodge of a country. In this way, the combat brigade

The position of captain has become extremely important.

There are two candidates who can hold this position, Banger and MacGaea. Ron has not yet decided who will be the captain.

The next question is attack aircraft/light bomber pilots. In this regard, the United States does not have many outstanding figures, so we have to choose from those who have performed the most combat missions.

…

"What's wrong with you today? You seem to have something on your mind." Ron said to Nadya. Ever since she left the house today, Nadya had lowered her head. Although she still held Ron's arm and snuggled against him as usual, she still looked at him.

Compared with the previous few days when she was chattering non-stop, Nadya was too quiet today.

"Well," Nadya stopped, she raised her head and looked at Ron, "A ballet company in San Francisco proposed to our company a plan to exchange and train actors. They sent a group of actors to work in our company for a period of time.

——In about two or three years, we will also send some members to stay with them for a period of time."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Ron understood immediately, "So you have a chance to stay in the United States!" He happily grabbed Nadya's shoulders with both hands.

"What's good about the United States?" Nadya said. "There are a lot of American audiences who fell asleep watching ballet. And..." Nadya slowed down her speech, "The group hasn't decided who to stay.

There are many people who want to stay, but it may not be my turn... Besides, I can’t bear to leave Teacher Ulanova. In the United States, you will never find a teacher as good as Teacher Ulanova.”

"Why is there nothing good in the United States? I admit that in traditional arts, especially ballet, the level of the United States is far behind that of Europe, especially the Soviet Union. However, the level of modern art and modern dance in the United States is also very good. And these

God, Teacher Nadya, you have taught me so much ballet knowledge. I have also watched several of your performances. I found that there is a problem with your performance." Ron lowered his head and looked at Nadya with a smile.

.

"What's the problem?" Nadya opened her eyes wide. She has always been quite serious when it comes to issues related to the art of dance.

"Nadia, you are so cute like this." Ron smiled, "Some people say that men who are serious are very attractive, but I think women who are serious are also very attractive."

"Hurry up and talk about serious things!" Nadya's big eyes were filled with waves, seeming a little angry and a little happy.

"Okay, okay." Ron said, "I watched some of your performances, and I think some of your moves are too much like Ulanova, and some of your moves are almost exactly the same as hers. I'm afraid this is not good.

I heard that every dancer's own conditions are different, so the styles and movements that are most suitable for them are also different. Of course it is best to have a good teacher, but have you ever seen any artist who is completely consistent in style?

Are the teachers the same? Is Ulanova's style exactly the same as her teacher? I think you should stay in the United States now and pay attention to other arts with completely different styles in the United States, so that you can develop a style that best suits you. And

...Staying in the United States is the biggest advantage for you." Ron drawled his voice.

"What else is good?" Nadya asked.

"You see me often," Ron said.

"Bah, what's so good about you!" Nadya said, "But the things you mentioned earlier do make some sense." Nadya played with her flaxen braids with her fingers and let them hang down.
