Chapter 5: The Bear King's Ace Pilot, Codename Falcon, Rank Major General!
On the other side, Mamba finished his contact with the command.
“Superman, the command wants us to keep a close watch and has already contacted the Northeast Air Base for full tracking. If anything happens, immediately dispatch fighters to escort.”
However, after Mamba finished speaking, he didn't receive a response from Superman. He couldn't help but ask: “Superman, do you copy?”
Superman finally came to his senses and quickly said, “Superman copies.”
“Superman, what's wrong?”
“Why wasn't there any response just now?”
“What happened?”
Out of concern for his teammate, Mamba asked a few more questions.
The two men escorted the aircraft while chatting on their own channel.
Superman chuckled: “Mamba, you were contacting the command just now, do you know what I heard?”
“Heard what, something that even our almost ace Superman was stunned by?” Mamba teased and was not too worried about the safety of the Il-series aircraft.
They had entered the territory of Great Xia, why should they still worry about these things?
This wasn't arrogance, but rather confidence in the national strength and military power of Great Xia.
This wasn't like the past, now, Great Xia's military strength is firmly among the top three in the world, who dares to provoke them by attacking the Il-series aircraft?
This was not just slapping Great Xia in the face, but also offending the Bears. Offending two superpowers at once, even the domineering Star Alliance might have to think twice before acting.
Moreover, he and Superman were both flying the most advanced fighter jets of Great Xia, the JX-20, plus a Su-35, and the inherent defense capabilities of the Il-series, without a whole squadron of fighters, it would be difficult to pose any threat to the Il-series aircraft.
Of course, this assumes that the pilot of the Su-35 is not weak.
But, a pilot who can escort the Il-series aircraft, would he be weak?
Not to mention being an ace, at least he wouldn't be weaker than them.
Hearing Mamba's teasing, Superman looked annoyed: “You think it's easy to become an ace pilot? You and I are both first-class pilots now, but it's still a long way to become an ace pilot.”
Air Force pilots who can rise to the strategic level may only be one level higher than first-class pilots, but the gap in their skills is immeasurable.
“No way, you're so strong, you can't become an ace?” Mamba was a little incredulous.
He was Superman's wingman, and since joining the frontline Air Force, Superman had taught him a lot. In informal situations, he would call Superman Master.
He knew Superman's strength very well.
Superman shook his head: “If it was that easy, then our Great Xia wouldn't have a single ace pilot.”
By the end, Superman's voice became quieter and quieter.
As an Air Force pilot, who doesn't want their country to be strong?
But Great Xia, with its military strength firmly among the top three in the world, in terms of the air force, aside from the number of fighters, which can match the other major countries, the gap in top pilots is so large that it is simply disheartening.
Both the Bears and the Star Alliance have at least three ace pilots.
And Great Xia, none.
This gap made Superman's face turn a little dark whenever he mentioned it.
Mamba knew he had said something he shouldn't have said, so he stopped talking about it and quickly changed the subject: “By the way, Superman, tell me about what happened just now.”
“What happened when I was contacting the command?”
“When I contacted you, you had no response at all.”
Superman took a deep breath and looked solemn: “It wasn't a big deal, it's just that the pilot of the Su-35 behind us used the most standard Mandarin to respond to me, which surprised me a little.”
“He used Mandarin?”
Mamba was stunned for a moment and laughed: “It's normal for a Bear pilot to speak Mandarin, you know, pilots on the border between our two countries often chat about their families at 10,000 meters. Someone has to speak the other person's language, otherwise how can they communicate, it's a problem.”
Superman thought about it and agreed.
“Maybe.”
From his tone, Mamba knew that Superman didn't believe him, so he continued: “Superman, you wouldn't think that the pilot of the Su-35 is from our Great Xia, would you?”
“I had that thought, but it's probably impossible.” Superman said with a wry smile.
“Of course!”
Mamba added: “It's possible for other branches of the military, but it's highly unlikely for the Air Force. However, even though it's almost impossible, it's not completely impossible, we'll find out when we land.”
“Yeah.”
The Il-series aircraft would land at the Capital International Airport, but the escorting Su-35 would not land at a civilian airport, and they would have to take the Su-35 to the Capital Air Base after completing the escort mission.
By then, they would know if the pilot of the Su-35 was from Great Xia.
The Il-series aircraft didn't know about their conversation, and Su Yuan didn't know either, but the air traffic control tower in the same channel knew everything.
“Superman, Mamba, stop chatting, complete the escort mission successfully.”
The warning from the air traffic control tower immediately shut them up.
This mission was definitely not just being monitored by the air traffic control girl.
The command leaders were definitely watching from the side, and it was okay just now, but if they continued, they would probably be scolded when they got back.
However, they stopped talking, but the air traffic control seemed unwilling to let them off the hook. A shocking news came to their ears:
“Falcon, 22 years old, Bear ace pilot, current Chief Instructor of the Bear Air Force, Major General rank!”
Superman: “???”
Mamba: “???”
What does that mean?
Why are you suddenly telling us this?
No…
Wait!
A 22-year-old ace pilot?
“Air traffic control, you're not kidding us, are you?” Superman opened his mouth and said in disbelief.
A 22-year-old ace pilot, how is that possible?
But Mamba was not paying attention to this, he turned his head, through the distance of almost a thousand meters, looked at Superman through the cockpit window and said in a shocked voice: “A 22-year-old Major General?”
“Air traffic control, are you sure?”
“When did the Bears have a 22-year-old Major General?”
Before they could question more, a slightly authoritative voice rang out from the channel:
“Don't question the truth, this kind of news wouldn't be told to you without full confirmation.”
Division Commander!
The Division Commander of the First Air Force Division!
Their direct superior.
Superman and Mamba's faces changed at the same time.
If it was just the air traffic control girl saying it, they might still question the truth.
After all, this kind of thing is hard to believe.
But this was their superior speaking, there was no need to doubt it.
In the words of the Division Commander of the First Air Force Division, it meant that this kind of news wouldn't be told to them without full confirmation.
In other words, at this moment, in the airspace less than a thousand meters away from them, sitting in the Su-35, the pilot was actually only 22 years old.
Moreover, he held a high position.
Stars are surging!
A true general.
The two men took a deep breath, both unable to hide the shock on their faces.
A 22-year-old Major General, what kind of military merit does he have to achieve that?
On the other side.
The deeper they flew into the territory of Great Xia, the lower the altitude and the more stable the terrain.
“This is the vast territory of our country, so beautiful!”
He gazed at the land he had left for four years and sighed silently.
This journey was not only a return home, but also a soaring through the vast sky of our country with the wings of an eagle!
Forward, Su-35!
“Beep beep beep!!!”
The air base in the northeast of Mengguo, less than 150 kilometers from the border of Great Xia.
In the base, the air defense radar in operation suddenly intercepted the side radar signals of the Su-35 and two JX-20s.
The radar operator, bored, yawned and had tears in his eyes.
He had stayed up too late last night, and he had no energy today. He couldn't remember how many times he had yawned.
The main reason was their special geographical location.
Surrounded by two superpowers, they didn't need to worry about any other country having any ill intentions towards them.
After all, to attack Mengguo, they would have to cross the air defense zone of either Great Xia or the Bears.
To cross these two superpowers and attack them, they were basically crazy.
So, the soldiers of Mengguo were a little lazy.
After all, if they were able to cross these two giants and attack them, even if they resisted, it would be useless.
However, at this moment, the radar prompt sound in his ears still made the radar operator jump, he glanced at it and quickly reported loudly:
“Report, three unidentified aircraft appeared in the air space on the border of Great Xia, 150 kilometers away, they are going deep into Great Xia, altitude 7000, speed 600 kilometers per hour.”
The base commander was enjoying his fragrant coffee, he almost spit out the coffee he had just taken a sip of when he heard this.
Three unknown aircraft suddenly appeared?
“Are they the JX-20s of Great Xia?”
The commander asked anxiously.
The radar operator was a little uncertain: “Our radar doesn't have a high recognition rate for the most advanced fighters, but if we can't recognize them, and they're still in the air space of Great Xia, they should be… the JX-20s of Great Xia, right?”
He added a question mark.
“But, one of the aircraft seems a little different from the other two in terms of signal reflection, it looks like…”
The radar operator hesitated.
“Looks like what?”
“A Su-35!”
His tone was still uncertain.
The Bear's Su-35?
The JX-20 of Great Xia?
These are all third-generation, even fourth-generation fighters that stand at the pinnacle of fighter jets in the world. For Mengguo, they are like dreams.
“I can understand the JX-20 appearing in the air space of Great Xia, but it's abnormal for the Bear's Su-35 to appear in the air space of Great Xia. Is something going to happen?”
Hearing that there was also a Su-35, the commander didn't panic, but instead pondered.
Just then, the radar operator continued: “Il-series! Commander, it's the Il-series!”
“Pu!”
A mouthful of coffee sprayed out.
Il-series?
The Emperor of the Bears' special aircraft?
“It seems like a state visit.”
The commander quickly opened the web page and checked the Emperor's recent schedule.
After taking a look, he looked enlightened.
“No need to worry, the Bear is coming to Great Xia for a state visit. But… tsk tsk, the Su-35 is escorting the whole way, only the Emperor can enjoy this treatment.”
A strong envy appeared in the commander's eyes.
He even drooled.
This level of fighter jets, even if Mengguo had the money, they couldn't buy it.
They could only watch the pilots of other countries, driving these fighters, soaring through the sky, showing a little bit of envy, that's all.
“Should we send two fighters to check it out?”
The radar operator asked.
The commander looked at him and said, “Go for what?”
“Can we catch up to them?”
The radar operator opened his mouth, but the words that reached his lips were swallowed back.
Yeah!
Their few first-generation fighters, probably wouldn't even be able to see the other's afterburner.
Send fighters to be beaten up?
