Red Alert Somalia

821 Inspect the First Aviation Division

At Bagua City Air Force Base, the neat hangars are in order. On the runway, rows of fighters are neatly placed together. Pilots, mechanics and ground crews are standing in front of their planes, stretching for more than 3,000. Meters on the runway.

The first aviation division of the Red Police Corps is stationed here, with the most comprehensive aircraft types, the best pilots, and the most advanced combat models.

Similarly, here, like all air force units, they are all strategically attacking troops, always in a state of combat at all times, and every patrol mission is carried out with live ammunition.The ground crew must also maintain the aircraft at all times to ensure that each fighter must be ready for combat at any time.

Today, with the exception of a brigade of fighter planes performing patrol and base defense tasks, all the remaining personnel and fighter planes are concentrated on the runway to be flown. Every pilot is full of energy and looks forward to it.

At ten o'clock in the morning, a line of convoys passed through layers of guards and entered this huge air force base. The air defense missile force personnel in the base along the way had stood upright and saluted by the roadside.

At the airport, the Air Force’s guard of honor had already lined up in front of the runway. The slowly approaching convoy stopped in front of the red carpet. Air Force Commander Smith Kay immediately walked to the convoy to wait.

As the car stopped in front of the red carpet, Li Lan opened the door and walked down.

The sun in Somalia is high in the sky for at least 250 days a year, but today is an exception. The new rainy season has arrived.However, the ready-to-go weather control instrument has not yet come into play, and rain clouds have gathered in the northeast corner of Africa as scheduled.

Today's Bagua City is also a cool breeze.The eucalyptus trees around the airport swayed gently in the breeze, and new green shoots emerged from the grass and flowers. Instead of the pungent smell of aviation fuel and engine oil, the air gave off a refreshing and natural feeling of outing in the wild.

Li Lan, who took a deep breath, seemed very satisfied with the current environment here, with a bit more brisk face on her face.Natasha, who followed him out of the car, also had a comfortable smile on her face.

As soon as Li Lan appeared, Smith Kay immediately stepped forward and solemnly saluted: "Report to the commander, the first aviation division of the Somali Defense Forces Air Force is lined up. Waiting for your review."

"Stop for a while." Li Lan responded with a military salute.Li Lan today does not wear a suit, but a uniform of his commander uniform. The unique badge and rank match his stalwart temperament.One glance is enough to convince the soldiers.

"Salute..." shouted the Air Force Honor Guard leader.

Accompanied by Natasha and Smith Kay.Accompanied by air force military music.Reviewed the honor guard.After passing the honor guard, they came to the front of the soldiers of the First Aviation Division, with 280 pilots in the front row.There are hundreds of engineers and thousands of ground crews behind, these people are the guarantee of the air force's operations and the patron saint of safeguarding the rights and interests of the sea and air.

Coming to the podium, looking at the spirited young faces in front of him, Li Lan naturally felt a bit of pride in his heart. These are their own soldiers, and they are born to fight for themselves.

"This piece of land represents my aerial eagle. Although I have been here many times, I rarely meet with everyone face to face. Back then, there were only a dozen planes and 20 pilots. Today, my team is very strong. , We finally have an aviation unit composed of multiple arms. This is the result of our joint efforts. I am proud of you.

At that time, our conditions were very fortunate. This is the sacred place for every Air Force personnel. This is the birthplace of our Air Force. It is now the sacred and inviolable patron saint of national sovereignty.In the new era, new opportunities are also accompanied by new challenges, and they are becoming more and more severe, but I have always been confident, because I have your group of brave and tenacious aerial athletes.

Answer me, are you proud of you being a member of the Air Force?"Finally, Li Lan, who was standing on the podium, asked loudly.

As soon as Li Lan's voice fell, the soldiers below shouted in unison: "Loyal to the leader, defend the sovereignty, even if you die without regret..."

Listening to the young shouts and looking at the excited and fanatical gazes, Li Lan's heart was even more proud. He stretched out his hand to press in the void, and the scene was silent for an instant. He continued to speak loudly: "You are all national warriors, It is my pride and the pride of the people. The smoke of war has once again risen, and it has spread to our side. Now is the time when the country and the people need you. Answer me, do you have the confidence to win the next one? A war?"

"Eagle hits the sky, I am invincible..."

Facing the crowd shouting excitedly again, Li Lan respected a military salute affectionately, and immediately walked off the podium and walked towards every soldier.Here, he has too many familiar faces. Some of these people have been awarded titles by him, some of them have paid special attention to their information, and some of them have been remembered for a long time.

Every soldier in the First Aviation Division can be named by Li Lan, because these people are the pride of the Air Force, or are excellent cadets graduated from military academies, and they are almost all treated exceptionally.

Shaking hands with the pilots one by one, Li Lan soon stopped in front of a young man. He touched the lines on the young man’s military uniform and tidyed up the already neat corners. Li Lan asked: "Golden Knight No. 8, Cai Kaohsiung, where is your car now?"

"Report to the commander, my car is in the middle of the runway. Fighter number 5008 is the latest Apollo stealth fighter." Cai Gaoxiong seemed very excited as an old pilot, although it is not the first time that he has faced each other like this. When I saw Li Lan, Li Lan could call out his name clearly every time, which made him feel extremely excited every time.

"Yes, the Apollo fighter is our most powerful stealth fighter. Have you mastered it now?" Li Lan nodded and asked.

"Report to the commander, the operating system of the Apollo fighter has many similarities with other models. After several months of running-in, I have reached the level of man-machine integration." Cai Gaoxiong said.

"Very good, but you can't be proud. The combination of man and machine is just a process. What you need is to drive your fighter like with your own hands, so that you can defeat more enemies in the Air Force." Li Lan encouraged.

"Guaranteed to complete the task." Cai Gaoxiong assured him.

Li Lan nodded, and walked down again, every pilot, he stopped to ask one or two, to encourage or encourage.Soon, Li Lan came to the team of female pilots, and a familiar face came into his eyes.

"Alena, you really didn't let me down." There was a young Somali woman in front of her, with some Arab heritage, and Alena with bronze skin. Li Lan is no stranger.(For those who forget, please see Chapter 446)

"Your Excellency the President can actually remember the students, and the students' persistence over the years has also been affirmed." Alena said excitedly.

"Wrong..." Hearing Alena's proficient Chinese, Li Lan shook her head and said: "Your efforts are not to prove to me, but your persistence in the first place, and it bears fruit today."

"Yes, Alena has not forgotten. I am now a fighter pilot just like Kurata. I am very pleased to be able to uphold Kurata's will and determination. I hope that he can help me in heaven. Proud." Alena said with moist eyes.

"For so many years, you still haven't forgotten him?" Li Lan took a deep breath and took out a photo of him with the first batch of fighter pilots at this base for the first time from her neckline pocket, and continued: "Some people are alive but Already dead, some people are dead but live forever. I have not forgotten them either."

"Alena, too. Alena will never have a second man in this life. My whole life will be Kurata, and my youth will be given to this country." Looking at that photo, Alena's eyes Tears of tears have overflowed unconvincingly, but her voice is extremely firm.

Li Lan lightly patted Alena on the shoulder, which was a kind of comfort and encouragement to her, and then said, "What position are you holding now?"

Alena also immediately put her emotions away, and immediately replied: "Reporting to the leader, when I was in the military school, I studied drones. Now I am a drone ground pilot of the First Aviation Division's drone brigade. The ground driving work of the Sky Rider drone number 9042."

"Women are not allowed to bear eyebrows, your current rank of lieutenant is very suitable for you, and your space will be bigger in the future. Come on, I am optimistic about you." Li Lan nodded. Drone driving is a very complicated task and requires professional expertise. Knowledge and a very focused attitude, although there is no such a life and death atmosphere as a fighter pilot, but the technical requirements will be extremely demanding.

Because the Sky Rider UAV is not only a UAV that can only attack the ground, but also a UAV that can be used for aerial combat. The requirements for ground pilot operations are very high.

A student who has just graduated not long before being selected to be the first batch of drone pilots of the Red Police Corps Air Force needs to pay more than ten times the number of people.

You know, there are not a few pilots who are not red police officers in the First Aviation Division, let alone UAV ground pilots. Except for Alena, the rest are from red police.The threshold is high, far surpassing any troops.Especially for drone pilots, the requirements are even more of a thousand miles, requiring the pilot to have excellent computer skills, network warfare knowledge, wireless, database use and application, and it can almost be said to be an all-rounder.

Li Lan didn't know the position Alena held before, and now he has a little more admiration for this stubborn woman.

Afterwards, Li Lan met each pilot one by one, learned about their current duties, and then had close exchanges with the mechanics and ground crews until lunch time.
