I just want to deliver express, but you insist on recruiting me?

Chapter 248 Why did the ace air force change to infantry?

"Fuck it, I have to explain every order myself. I might as well stop being a commander and become a staff officer."

Before Xiao Bao could finish speaking, Lin Xiao hung up the phone angrily.

Everything that needs to be explained has been written down in black and white in the order.

"Follow it"

He had to call to ask for such a clear order. I don’t know if Xiao Bao has a problem with his IQ or his attitude.

This is only the case in peacetime. In wartime, no one can tolerate it at all.

You give him the order to attack north.

Two minutes later a phone call came asking where Bei was.

Should we continue the war?

Think of this.

Lin Xiao felt that it would be necessary to give this kid a good beating tomorrow.

the next day.

After Lin Xiao finished the matters at hand, he found a helicopter and arrived at the island base in time for lunch.

Four no's and two straight.

The whole process was carried out secretly, and no one except the command center knew he came to the island.

Moreover, old people are cunning and slippery, and the timing chosen by Lin Xiao is meaningful.

Inspecting during mealtime should be the most relaxed time of the day, when the true appearance of the troops can be best seen.

"Hush! Call your brigade commander and don't alarm the others."

"Yes!"

Lin Xiao walked into the camp and scared the sentry so much that his face turned pale.

Fortunately, I didn’t doze off while standing guard, otherwise I would not be able to survive.

He ran halfway in a panic and turned back: "Report to the commander, Brigade Commander Xiao went out this morning and is not here."

"You're so stubborn. If Xiao Bao isn't here, let Liu Huanzhang come. Just send someone who can take charge."

"Yes!"

"Remember, don't make it public, or else one more person will know that I'm punishing you."

"Yes!"

Three minutes later, Liu Huanzhang was running so fast that his hat fell off several times on the road.

When he came in front of Lin Xiao, he was out of breath.

"Commander, why are you here?"

Lin Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Liu Huanzhang, with a knife in his eyes: "Can't I come? Can't I see my own soldiers?"

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant."

"Xiao Liu, you've been out of breath after these few steps. You need to strengthen your stamina."

Tian Jun from the Equipment Department who was traveling with him felt that Lin Xiao was a bit too strict, so he played the good cop: "Commander, we are in the Air Force, not the Army, so don't hold on to this little thing."

Lin Xiao disagreed and demanded with high standards: "It is still a military. If officers don't set an example, how can we expect the grassroots to fight hard?"

Hearing the commander's serious attitude, Tian Jun had nothing to say.

Liu Huanzhang was also perceptive and immediately saluted and admitted his mistake.

"I will definitely intensify my training."

"Reinforcement is a later matter. Let me first see how you guys are doing in training and blow the emergency assembly signal."

Lin Xiao's words sounded so calm and casual, but they gave Liu Huanzhang a cold sweat.

Emergency assembly is okay.

The key is that the commander is watching here.

If there is any problem, he will be scolded.

So Liu Huanzhang ordered the sentry to sound the alarm with a nervous mood.

Because it is an air force station.

The markings for emergency assemblies are a little different from those for the army. Not only do people need to be prepared, but so do the equipment.

All planes and airports must be ready within a limited time so that they can take off directly at the command.

This is exactly the purpose of Lin Xiao's straightforwardness.

The army was slow to assemble, so the consequences were not that serious.

But if the air force is slow, the anti-aircraft missiles will come.

Every minute of delay is a strategic loss.

From the alarm going off.

Lin Xiao had been standing at the airport tower, constantly checking his watch, watching the soldiers filing out from all directions of the camp.

Although it is a temporary inspection.

But the army was still in good order and not in chaos despite the busy schedule.

Finally the entire field was ready after three and a half minutes.

Liu Huanzhang, who had survived the disaster, came to Lin Xiao and reported: "Report to the commander, the assembly is complete. The 132nd Brigade should have 1300 people, but only 550 people have arrived."

"The speed is OK." Lin Xiao frowned. "But the number of people is wrong. Is there any combat mission?"

Liu Huanzhang was also somewhat surprised: "They all went to cooperate with scientific research activities, and you didn't know?"

Lin Xiao patted his forehead and realized belatedly: "Oh, it's Chen Chen's thing, right? So many people are needed?"

"Yes, Brigade Commander Xiao led his men there this morning."

"understood."

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, he kept pondering the taste in his mind.

It is worthy of being called Morning Shield.

An anti-drone project required a large-scale mobilization, involving half of the Air Force Brigade.

The more he thought about it, the more Lin Xiao looked forward to it.

After inspecting the troops, I must have a good chat with this guy.

So he decided to quicken his pace and took two steps forward to his tower to watch.

The troops were indeed concentrated.

The pilots were standing next to their planes, ready to take off at any time.

The ground support battalion and the anti-aircraft battalion also lined up waiting for orders.

The queues are neat and the staff are in high spirits.
The only problem was that the station looked a little empty.

This is not due to the small number of people.

in contrast.

From a visual perspective, the number of people gathered in this emergency meeting was particularly large.

Because of the usual emergency assemblies, most personnel are at their posts.

They were either in the plane or in the hangar. Today was different, most of them were standing in the open field, like infantry.

"Liu Huanzhang, something is wrong." Lin Xiao's face darkened.

Chief of Staff Liu's heart was in his throat: "What...what?"

"I don't say anything about the lack of people, but the number of planes is wrong, and the equipment of the air defense battalion is wrong. Where are my J20 and my anti-aircraft guns?"

Lin Xiao counted the hangars, but nothing matched.

Half of the air brigade's hangars were empty.

The anti-aircraft battalions that were supposed to be on anti-aircraft positions were also unequipped and lined up unarmed.

He couldn't understand it at all.

"How dare you! Why did you change my elite air force brigade into infantry?"

When Liu Huanzhang heard this, he had a clue in his mind: "You are talking about this? They were all taken away by the brigade commander to cooperate with the scientific research operation."

"Are all of these absentees gone?"

"Yes!"

Lin Xiao just felt his scalp tingling.

Good guy.

There are no drones, no fighter jets, and even no early warning aircraft.

According to Liu Huanzhang, they all went to cooperate with scientific research projects.

But the problem is.

Isn’t Chen Chen’s scientific research project an anti-drone solution?

"What a joke, why do we need J20 to fight against drones?"

Liu Huanzhang wanted to escape and revealed: "I am not very clear about the details. Commander, you don't know either, but you gave the order."

Lin Xiao was petrified after hearing this.

The blame was clearly shifted to Liu Huanzhang, who completely cleared himself of the blame.

Yes!
I gave the order correctly.

But the order I gave was to cooperate with scientific research activities and provide convenient conditions.

you……

An entire air force brigade has been turned into infantry. How do you explain this?
To know.

Once some of the air force brigade's equipment is mobilized, it will be a big deal.

After the adjustment, Lin Xiao had to write reports and give explanations all night long.

"Scientific research activities... What on earth is Chen Chen doing?"

"Mr. Chen said it was an anti-UAV project, but I don't actually understand it." Liu Huanzhang explained, touching his head.

"Anti-drone... Don't tell me it's an anti-Tokyo project! Go, call Chen Chen and Xiao Bao to come see me, right away!"

Seeing that he had been completely cleared of responsibility, Liu Huanzhang said without a care in the world: "That's not good. He was called back when he was halfway through his work. Besides, there shouldn't be any risks in a scientific research project. It's just a few planes. He can't just provoke others..."

The words were not finished.

Lin Xiao waved his hands firmly: "You don't know Chen Chen. This kid can do anything. If he had a full-strength aviation brigade, he would have a fight with the Trisolarans and call them back immediately."

More than half an hour later.

Planes landed one after another.

Lin Xiao, sitting in the conference room, was like an empty-nest old man, constantly muttering that he just wanted to come back.

During this period of time, he has also been paying attention to his superiors' hotline.

Afraid that Chen Chen would do something irrational, he asked his superiors to call him to hold him accountable.

Fortunately, until Chen Chen walked into the meeting room, his superiors had not called.

"You little brat, you made me break into a cold sweat."

Chen Chen chuckled: "I miss you too."

"Don't give me that. What are you doing? You turned my aviation brigade into infantry for free. What are you doing?"

Chen Chen said confidently: "Scientific research activities, didn't I inform you about it?"

"Come on, whose scientific research activities are so chaotic? If I were a little slower in recalling the products, wouldn't the neighboring countries be scared to death?"

Sitting in this position, Lin Xiao still has to consider the overall situation.

The geographical location of the island station is still very special.

There is nothing wrong with dispatching one or two planes for daily air force training.

But if everyone moves in full force, many people will not be able to sleep well.

Hearing Commander Lin's concerns, Zhang Mingrui, who followed Lin Xiao in, felt that this scene was familiar.

So he used Chen Chen's famous statement to explain: "Commander, you worry too much. If we fly a fighter jet, the neighboring countries may be scared and feel uneasy."

"But this time we flew dozens of sorties, including the J20."

"The surrounding countries are aware that this is not aimed at them."

After Zhang Mingrui finished speaking, everyone else in the meeting room was stunned.

That doesn't sound reasonable.

But if you think about it carefully, it is true.

Only Lin Xiao looked at Zhang Mingrui with a crooked mouth: "You are so good, Director Zhang. You don't want to learn the good things from Chendun, but you just learn Chen Chen's specious arguments, right?"

While Lin Xiao and Zhang Mingrui were bickering, Chen Chen walked to the water dispenser, poured himself a glass of water, took a big gulp, and then prepared another glass for Lin Xiao.

"Commander, you are too irritable. Drink more hot water."

Lin Xiao took the water cup, but he was not forgiving at all: "Get out of my way. I shouldn't have taken this job from you. It's full of traps. I almost fell into them again. Knowing you has shortened my life by ten years."

"Then you can live ninety-nine."

"..."

Xiao Bao and Liu Huanzhang on the side looked at each other.

I feel that this scene is unusual.

Although the words of these three people were very targeted, there was no malice in their conversation.

It's more like a bickering between old friends.

But the question is.

This is Lin Xiao.

He was the one with the worst temper among the generals, and everyone would stay away from him, whether they were humans or ghosts.

The two young people were chatting back and forth, just like they were teasing their own old man.

Lin Xiao too.

Ever since Chen Chen entered the room, his attitude had changed, completely different from when he was criticizing him just now.

"Brigade Commander, don't tell me, General Chen was right yesterday. He seems to have a very close relationship with the commander."

Xiao Bao shook his head and lowered his voice: "This is not a matter of whether they are blood relatives or not. I really doubt that they are related by blood. If this is not a biological son, then what is it?"
