Chapter 147: I am not the father of the sixth-generation fighter!

A few days later.

Northern Military Region Bohaiwan Aviation Experimental Airport.

Small black sedans slowly drove into the airport.

Following that, one research personnel after another stepped out of the cars.

The commanders of the Northern Military Region had also been waiting for a long time.

Lu Debiao, Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Military Region's three armed forces, stood to the side like a pine tree.

Finally.

The last Volkswagen Passat stopped steadily in front of everyone.

Secretary Little Li hurried out of the car, ran to the passenger side, and opened the door.

Supporting the trembling Elder Zhao, he stepped out.

"Elder Zhao!"

"A warm welcome to you for gracing our Northern Military Region with your presence!"

Lu Debiao hurried over, supporting the frail Elder Zhao with one hand.

Today was the day of the maiden flight of the Dragon Nation's newest fighter jet!

With the maiden flight being held in the Northern Military Region, Lu Debiao, as the Commander-in-Chief of the three armed forces of the Northern Military Region, also felt honored.

He had arrived at the scene early to wait, just hoping to catch a glimpse of the true face of the new fighter jet...

Regarding Elder Zhao before him.

Lu Debiao did not have the slightest air of a general, calling him Elder Zhao at every turn and keeping his own status extremely low.

For Elder Zhao, Lu Debiao also felt admiration from the bottom of his heart.

The Dragon Nation's fourth-generation and fifth-generation fighters were all the work of Elder Zhao!

For the second and third-generation fighters, Elder Zhao had also contributed greatly!

Such a pillar of the nation, at the very last moment of his life.

Was still burning himself, disregarding his health, to personally arrive at the maiden flight site of the new fighter jet, just to obtain first-hand data on the new fighter.

This spirit made even Lu Debiao unable to help but give a thumbs up!

"Elder Zhao! You really are..."

"The weather has already turned cold, and your health is not good!"

"Wouldn't it have been enough to just stay in the office and wait for the experimental data! Why run to this place to suffer in the cold!"

Hearing Lu Debiao say this, Elder Zhao didn't take it to heart; instead, he burst into a hearty laugh.

"Commander Lu! You and Secretary Little Li have colluded, haven't you!"

"How come you both speak in the same tone..."

"I know my own body better than anyone!"

"I didn't have many years left to live anyway!"

"If I couldn't see the scene of the new fighter jet soaring into the blue sky, I think I would die of depression..."

"You wouldn't want me to lie in my coffin with regrets, would you..."

Lu Debiao and Secretary Little Li looked at each other.

Both of them revealed a helpless bitter smile on their faces.

With a stubborn temper like Elder Zhao's, ten cows couldn't pull him back.

Naturally, the two of them had no way to deal with it.

To the side, Lu Debiao paused, his gaze looking toward the new fighter jet covered in black cloth not far away.

He let out a heartfelt exclamation of praise.

"Elder Zhao!"

"You truly are worthy of your reputation!"

"I remember the J-20's maiden flight was only ten years ago! I remember that scene clearly, but I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, you've even managed to create a sixth-generation fighter!"

"This research and development speed, even the Free Nation's military department would likely find it hard to keep up..."

"After today, behind your title as the father of the Dragon Nation's fourth and fifth-generation fighters, we'll have to add the father of the sixth-generation fighter!"

It was no wonder Lu Debiao let out such praise.

As everyone knows, the iteration of fighter jets is arguably the most difficult hurdle to overcome on the Blue Planet!

The Free Nation's F-22 Raptor, touted as the most advanced, began development in the 1980s and took a full sixteen years to finally be successfully developed!

Furthermore, the F-35 fighter, which the Free Nation spent over ten years developing, couldn't even achieve a proper iteration.

Its performance was even slightly reduced compared to the F-22 Raptor!

As for a sixth-generation fighter, that was even further off!

And looking at the Dragon Nation, it only took ten years to complete the leap from a fourth-generation to a fifth-generation fighter!

And another ten years later, now they are even starting test flights for a sixth-generation fighter!

This research speed could simply be called a crushing blow to the Free Nation!

How could Lu Debiao not be stirred by this?

Beside him, Elder Zhao listened to Lu Debiao's flattery, and although he was smiling broadly.

He still waved his hand in the end.

"Commander Lu! You've got this wrong!"

"I am no longer the father of the sixth-generation fighter!"

"This father of the sixth-generation fighter is actually someone else!"

"For such an advanced fighter jet, let alone ten years, even if you gave me another twenty or thirty years, I couldn't create it!"

"Many of the advanced technologies within it, I, this old man, haven't even figured out myself..." ===== CHAPTER 149 =====
