Chapter 481

Therefore, Xiao Su will commute in the future, staying in the male soldiers' barracks when necessary.

Yan Yan Shilei, twenty-eight years old, unmarried.

His girlfriend is a former university classmate and is currently a prosecutor.

In summary, he also has to commute, staying in the male soldiers' barracks when busy.

"Old Xiao, Old Yan, get in the car."

Without further ado, the three of them squeezed into a car and headed toward the Air Command Center.

Upon arrival, two Y-8 transport planes and two J-16 fighters had already landed.

They were in the process of separating personnel from the aircraft and unloading equipment and precision instruments.

At that moment, a captain and a major came jogging over.

The captain saluted: "Report to Azure Dragon, I am Xiao Wang from the Theater Joint Logistics Department."

"This is Major Wan Wan Qianxu from the Air Force, who is about to report for duty at your unit."

No problem, Lin Feng immediately reached out his hand: "Comrade Wan Wan Qianxu, the Dragon Flame Squadron welcomes you."

"Report to the Squadron Leader, it is my honor to serve in the Dragon Flame Special Forces, salute."

That’s right, he will serve as the Director of the Dragon Flame Squadron's Air Command Center.

His responsibilities are overall management and the scheduling of air missions and training.

A former staff officer of the theater Air Force with a professional master's degree, his capabilities are undoubtedly top-notch.

Alright, Lin Feng introduced the two deputy squadron leaders.

After getting acquainted and exchanging salutes, Wan Wan Qianxu handed over a file.

"Report to the Squadron Leader, the Air Command Center's organizational structure is fully in place."

"Four fighter pilots, all at Level 1 or above."

"Sixteen transport aircraft crew members, eight per plane, all professionally excellent."

"Forty-two ground support personnel, including eight mechanics."

"The Army Aviation detachment is currently on its way."

"Fourteen armed helicopters, four Z-8B helicopters, including professional pilots and crew."

"Two meteorological experts, four flight staff officers, ground dispatchers..."

Before the report was finished, Lin Feng had already scanned through it at a glance.

The Air Command Center has a total of 148 personnel, including the ground support detachment.

Among them, thirty-six are female soldiers, all in administrative roles, including Fierce Dragon drone operators.

The large Fierce Dragon drones require manual simulation operation, not computer data-controlled purchasing.

Therefore, professional and highly skilled operators are needed.

Additionally, the two main captains of the J-16s are both Lieutenant Colonels and special-grade pilots.

Although their military ranks are high, they must submit to Wan Wan Qianxu's management.

There is no help for it; military rank does not equal position, and they are just pilots after all.

Likewise, in the Air Force hierarchy, high military ranks are a common phenomenon.

Because military rank and flight level are equivalent to welfare and benefits.

In a word: pilots are all the "pride of heaven."

Cultivating them is not easy and costs a huge amount, so naturally, they receive preferential treatment.

Even so, there are still plenty of pilots jumping ship from the Air Force to civil aviation every year...

"Old Yan, the work of counting equipment and putting it into storage is left to you."

"I am capable and willing to do more; I guarantee it will be handled properly."

Alright, the guy's personality is quite good, fitting Lin Feng's temperament.

Just one point: everyone is young, there's no need to be lifeless.

Work when it's time to work, joke when it's time to joke; there's no conflict at all.

If everything were done by the book, then one wouldn't be well-liked!

Next, under Wan Wan Qianxu's guidance and introduction,

Lin Feng and Xiao Su roughly got to know the officers and soldiers of the Air Command Center.

Among the more than one hundred people, four left a deep impression.

The first, Support Detachment Leader Captain Lu Tao, thirty-one years old.

A special-grade mechanic, known for being able to fix any aircraft.

The point is his firm faith; his conviction as a soldier is unshakable.

Countless units have offered him sky-high annual salaries of over a million to poach him.

Without exception, he has rejected them all.

He would rather take a monthly salary plus allowance of less than ten thousand than leave.

His belief is to guard the nation's skies, fulfilling his duty to ensure the safety of every fighter jet and pilot!

Because of his stubbornness and persistence,

his wife couldn't stand it anymore and divorced him, leaving behind a five-year-old little princess to be raised by his grandparents.

For such a person, Lin Feng truly feels respect and esteem.

As a leader, helping is a responsibility, but it must be planned and arranged slowly.

The second, fighter ace pilot, Lieutenant Colonel Gao Xiang.

Also thirty-one years old, married, his wife is the university beauty queen from his graduating class.

Currently working in the East Sea Province's 'Ji Wei' system, in a deputy division-level position.

The point is, he was unwilling to report for duty at Dragon Flame.

Because he felt that assigning special forces to the Air Force

was like using an anti-aircraft gun to shoot a mosquito—a waste of talent that wouldn't be realized.

As for why he came anyway?

He made a mistake; during a mission, he disobeyed orders and shot down a reconnaissance plane of unknown nationality that invaded our territorial waters.

The shoot-down itself wasn't the problem; the key was that he violated orders.

As a result, he is still carrying a disciplinary record and has no room to bargain.

Without a doubt, Lin Feng likes this kind of subordinate with independent consciousness.

Any aircraft that invades our territorial waters or airspace

should be effectively shot down, rather than being driven away time and time again.

As the Air Force, the messengers guarding the blue sky and white clouds,

one should fire aggressively to defend national security.

Weakness does not earn respect and will only make the enemy more rampant and unscrupulous!

The third, meteorological assistant Liu Chang, a young girl who has been graduated for less than two years.

Hmm, her appearance is above average, petite and exquisite.

The point is that the young girl comes from a wealthy family and has no ambition for her career.

Joining the army was an impulsive act for the sake of the appeal.

Previously working in the theater, she could call friends and companions every few days, which was fine.

Now, being in this godforsaken place in the middle of nowhere,

the young girl immediately refused to stay, repeatedly begging Lin Feng to be transferred back to her original unit.

Alright, Lin Feng handed the counseling work over to Wan Wan Qianxu.

If the counseling doesn't work, he will agree to the transfer back.

A twisted melon is not sweet; there are plenty of meteorological workers who want to report to Dragon Flame.

The fourth, Level 1 drone operator Lieutenant Xu Xu Mengyao, twenty-four years old.

She is cold and glamorous, and a little bit unsociable.

The point is she is beautiful, with a pure height of 182, super tall.

The silk-clad long legs under her military skirt are slender and shapely, breathtakingly stunning.
