"Your Majesty, European countries also say that we use this aircraft that can be used for military operations for civilian use. They even say that we train pilots to take advantage of the opportunity to make money. They still use this aircraft for military use, not for civilian use. These foreigners still think that we can still be used to make money, but only as an important money-making tool. They are even saying that we are fools, and that we use this aircraft to give those pilots such good treatment. It's so strange! However, this is really not suitable. Isn't such a high salary too high? They have already earned at least four times more than officers of the same rank. Will this make other arms Not too satisfied?" Liu Feng also said.

Wang Guorui heard Liu Feng's statement, in fact, it meant that foreigners were very disdainful of China's aircraft, and even thought that China was open to private use, which was actually a deliberate leak. However, Wang Guorui also has his own ideas, because it is very difficult for this aircraft to develop independently with China's own capabilities. It is actually very difficult to want this aircraft, and it is difficult to make progress at present. In this way, in fact, China's aircraft development is seriously lacking in talents, so it has to be opened to the outside world and let everyone conduct "test flights".

Wang Guorui has heard a saying from later generations that airplanes are not actually designed, but "tested". Without test flights again and again, it is impossible to know what shortcomings the aircraft has, and what performance is not conducive to development. Even as a pilot, it is the one who actually uses the aircraft. A pilot is a person who personally uses the aircraft, and moreover, a person who uses the aircraft to fight. Only they will really understand the aircraft and what aircraft they need. If a designer rushes to design without even understanding the needs of users, Zeyu will definitely not do it.

In particular, the cost of pilot training is very high, and even later generations say that the training of a pilot costs almost as much gold as their body weight. This is no joke. Although the aircraft of this era is not as difficult to select as the jet aircraft of later generations, it is definitely not an easy job. It is not an exaggeration to say that selecting pilots is looking for a needle in a haystack, and reserve pilots are a very important strategic resource. It may be very easy to manufacture an aircraft. From assembly line to production, if it really enters the state of wartime production, an aircraft may be produced in less than a day or two.

However, the training of pilots often takes several years, and it is not counted as the previous ten years of compulsory education. So such a reserve of pilots represents the potential of a country's air force. This is why many national air forces would rather lose an aircraft than lose a pilot. Maybe the plane is very expensive, but it can be bought, as long as you are willing to produce it in a hurry, you can produce it within a few days. And the training cost of pilots is extremely high, not only the cost of money but also the cost of time! Originally, the accident of the plane was already tragic enough. If another pilot was picked up for this doomed plane, it would be really tragic.

Therefore, Wang Guorui is very clear that it is better to train pilots sooner rather than later. The real focus is to train pilots as soon as possible and expand the pilot team as soon as possible.

"Liu Feng, do you think it's important to keep this plane secret? But I just don't think so, because since the plane has been produced, it doesn't actually have much technical content. As long as the plane is manufactured, the inside The technical principle is actually very simple. At that time we were flying at night, and I am afraid that the relevant pictures have been sent to high-level countries by various channels. So we don’t think this is so dangerous. Because our aircraft is very primitive, it is just a concept It's just a problem. At present, our aircraft is still very backward. If foreigners are willing to study it, then let them study it. In fact, for a long time to come, air combat will be a war of attrition. Whoever has more pilots will win. Advantages! There are few pilots. Even if you can build an airplane, you can’t fly it. So let’s not take this airplane too seriously. What we want to focus on is to train pilots as soon as possible. We train a pilot at this time , Then they will all be seeds in the future! Once we have cultivated a batch of seeds, they will take root and germinate and flourish. In addition, we have a large population in China, so they will take root and germinate faster. Now we are one step ahead, when the time comes for the pilots Reserves, that’s a geometric multiple increase, so we won’t be afraid of a war of attrition.”

What Wang Guorui meant was not to attach importance to the aircraft, but to the pilot. Wang Guorui once heard that during the Second World War, after the war between Japan and the United States, Japan and the United States fought at that time. In fact, the strength of the two sides in terms of air force was similar. Take advantage of some technologies.

But even if Japan had a technological advantage, it was finally defeated by the Americans. Because Americans have a sufficient reserve of aviation talents, their aviation clubs and various aviation associations are very numerous in the United States, and the United States has a reserve of millions of people with pilot licenses. These people are all quasi-pilots. Maybe they have changed their careers temporarily. As long as they go through some recovery training, they can be sent to the battlefield again. There are millions of people with pilot licenses, even if a quarter of them can become the Air Force, that would be more than 200,000 people. With more than 200,000 air force pilots, they can completely fight a war of attrition.

This Yankee used pilots as infantry in the later stage, but Japan could not consume them like this. The Japanese pilot reserves are very small, and in the later stage they even used kamikaze special forces to send those shoddy pilots into the sky. In the later period, Japan even only taught pilots the ability to go to the sky, but they did not teach them the ability to land. Conscience of heaven and earth, landing is the most technical test for pilots, and landing is the most technical, much higher than bullying flying.

But the Japanese don't teach landing, isn't it just to train the pilots as soon as possible, and then let them die? Therefore, Wang Guorui thinks that Japan uses this kamikaze attack method of suicide. In fact, Wang Guorui thinks that it is not all Japanese madness. Maybe the Japanese are crazy is one thing, but the reason why they have this crazy idea is actually because they have an extreme shortage of pilots, and they almost don't have enough time to train pilots. At this point in the war, Japan didn't have enough time to train pilots, so they had to use this kind of crude pilots to sacrifice.

In fact, it is impossible for the Japanese not to attach importance to pilots. After a Japanese pilot was captured and educated in China, he even made remarks against aggression against China, which made Japan very annoyed. If it was an ordinary infantryman, he would definitely be shot, but that guy was just adjusted to the battlefield, transferred to another war, and he didn't even go to the military court. In this way, it is conceivable that Japan did not completely ignore the lives of pilots, but that there was not enough time for them to train at that time.

"In the next few decades, it is impossible for us to make too much development of aircraft. The speed of development of our aircraft may be the same, and there will not be too much development. The aircraft flight gap between us and Westerners It will not be too big, and there will be no serious generation gap. So what we are competing at this time is not the performance of the aircraft, but the number of pilots. If we have hundreds of thousands of pilots one day, wouldn’t we be able to easily The European countries are dying? If the time comes to compete with each other, we still have enough pilots, but there are not many pilots in the country. What will we do at that time? Weapons are not omnipotent, even in advanced weapons. Someone is using it."

"Weapons no one can use~lightnovelpub.net~ Isn't that useless? So the pilot is the most important thing, at least in the next few decades, is more important than the lead of the aircraft itself. If the jet aircraft is not invented, Without a sufficient avionics system, it is impossible to have a big gap in this way, and the competition is only the number of pilots."

Liu Feng asked: "What is a jet aircraft, and what kind of avionics system?"

"Well, don't worry about it, the next aviation club will continue. Even, in the future, we may have to solve the problems of these pilots. And the first batch of pilots must be strictly selected. A group of pilots are our seeds, the seeds of our future Air Force officers. As for why this pilot has high status and high income, if other arms are willing, they can all come to participate in the assessment, as long as we pass the assessment. Give them such high salaries! If you don't have this ability, then don't be silly! Army pilots are one of the most important arms, and they must be officers at present. If you don't have officer status, then How can we be worthy of their efforts, even if we have spent so much to train them? Moreover, the current first batch of pilots are all future Air Force commanders' reserve talents, so we must strictly select them!"

"I understand. Our General Intelligence Administration will definitely investigate carefully and investigate all 18 generations of their ancestors. We will never let those suspected people in!" Liu Feng said. (To be continued.)
