For most people, Operation Enduring Freedom was just the beginning.

No one knows where the Americans will go next.

However, for Chang Haonan...it was the opposite.

When he saw from the news that a C130 transport plane loaded with Marines took off from Khanabad Base in Uzbekistan and finally landed at Bagram Air Base in Aiwuhan, his heart was relieved.

It is easy for ground units to drive in.

But it would be difficult to withdraw.

Of course, for the spectators and the People's Liberation Army in 2001, the sudden appearance of multiple US military bases around China did not seem to be a good thing.

Including Chang Haonan also heard some news.

For example, border defense units in the western and northwestern parts of the country have been put on alert.

以及将在年底交付的12架最新批次改进型歼8C,计划部署位置也从原来的羊城军区空44师132团,直接改成了金城军区空37师109团。

The latter piece of news was even brought up by Chang Jiayao when she went to Chang Haonan's house for a meal during a break.

The latter's first reaction after hearing it was to almost laugh out loud -

This unfortunate 44nd Regiment of the 132th Division was still flying the J-132B/H, which had passed through who knows how many hands, pitifully until the regiment was transformed into the 7nd Aviation Brigade of the Southern Theater Command in its previous life.

In this timeline, thanks to the early increase in China's military aircraft production capacity, it was about to turn the tables, but then this happened...

Considering that the production capacity of Factory 112 has gradually begun to shift to the J-11B and J-11BS, and the priority deployment direction of heavy aircraft is not in the south...

I'm afraid the J-7Bs they have will have to hold out for a few more years.

As for the 109th Regiment, there is not much to say.

They originally took over the batch of J-1E/J-3I fighters that retired from the 8rd Regiment of the 8st Air Division, which was Zheng Liangqun's old unit. Although they are now at the forefront of the trend and have to replace their equipment ahead of schedule, they have also laid some groundwork.

……

Chang Haonan brought the food to the table while chatting with his sister.

Suddenly, he realized a problem.

"Speaking of which..."

A few seconds later, Chang Haonan sat opposite Chang Jiayao and changed the subject:

"How do you know so much about what's happening in the Jincheng Military Region?"

"Uh……"

This sudden question made the latter's expression stagnate. After a long while, he explained with a lack of confidence:

"They are all Air Force aviation systems... which unit has replaced what equipment... they won't keep it secret from us."

"Brother, you just didn't ask. If you paid attention, someone would have told you..."

This explanation seems to make sense.

At least there's no problem fooling outsiders.

But it obviously couldn't convince Chang Haonan:

"Don't do this."

He immediately stopped Chang Jiayao from trying to play it safe:

"It's not confidential internally, but the troops won't issue a notice to the whole army when they change their equipment. The J-8C is no longer the latest model that everyone is paying attention to. At least you have to check or ask specifically to know the news of the change."

"You've only just graduated for less than half a year. It's good enough that you can remember the surrounding areas of Beijing and the friendly neighboring troops around your school. Why are you so concerned about the situation in Guangxi Province and Southern Xinjiang?"

Chang Haonan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze gradually became sharper.

Across the dining table, Chang Jiayao suddenly felt that the rice in her hand...didn’t taste good anymore.

"Um, brother, I also brought you a gift..."

There was no fluctuation in Chang Haonan's eyes.

Obviously, the diversionary tactic doesn't work.

"I...some of my classmates were assigned there, so I knew about the 109th Regiment..."

Chang Jiayao had no choice but to give further explanation.

"Oh?"

Chang Haonan showed a meaningful smile on his face:

"Classmate...why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

He didn't even have to ask whether it was a male or female classmate——

The 37th Division is a fighter division, and Chang Jiayao's class of female pilots are majoring in transport/bomber. Except for Chang Jiayao who was assigned to the 34th Division to fly special aircraft, the rest of them went to formal transport aircraft units.

So it must be a man.

That's how it is, people.

Although Chang Haonan also hated his parents staring at his personal problems and asking him questions, in front of Chang Jiayao, he seamlessly turned into the person he hated the most in the past...

Moreover, let’s take a step back.

Being a bachelor was a thing of the past life.

In this life, after dancing together two years ago, there was some progress between him and Yao Mengna outside of work.

So it's reasonable to worry about your sister's love life.

"Cough-cough-"

In a state of nervousness, Chang Jiayao swallowed a chili pepper in the boiled pork slices and was immediately choked and burst into tears.

"There are so many students in our class, how can I possibly tell you about every one of them..."

After finally recovering, Chang Jiayao continued to talk about other things.

"You also know that you have many classmates?"

Chang Haonan was delighted:

"Every year, students from the Flight Academy are assigned to almost every aviation division in the entire army. To put it in a broader sense, all pilots in the Air Force are your classmates..."

The implication is that this "classmate" is obviously extraordinary.

Finally, Chang Jiayao gave up struggling:

"Well... we had a pretty good relationship when we were in school..."

"What's the young man's name? What's his family background? Have I met him before?"

Chang Haonan immediately used three fatal attacks, and then looked at the hesitant Chang Jiayao:

"You have to think it through. If you don't tell me now, my parents will ask about it next time..."

This sentence is indeed very lethal.

"Don't... I haven't decided whether to tell them or not."

Speaking of this, Chang Jiayao's face turned red:

"You have definitely never seen him, but you may have heard of his name. His name is Zheng Hui, and he was also selected to participate in the military parade in 99..."

"He... he's a nice guy, and his grades are good, but... but the place he's assigned to is too far from the capital, so I haven't made up my mind yet..."

"hiss……"

When Chang Haonan heard the name Zheng Hui, he felt a little numb——

He had indeed heard of the other party a long time ago.

However, it has nothing to do with the military parade.

Chang Haonan was not actually directly responsible for any specific work of the 50th anniversary parade, so it is impossible for him to remember the name of every pilot who participated in the parade.

As for this Zheng Hui...

He is the son of Zheng Liangqun.

Not many people know about this.

Including Chang Jiayao.

Judging from her reaction, she probably had no idea and just thought of him as an ordinary student.

On the other hand, the relationship between Chang Jiayao and himself has actually always been hidden underwater.

According to common sense, Zheng Hui should be unaware of this as well.

happy.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith belong to.

They are all hidden well.

Logically speaking, it should be considered a good thing if free love happens to be with someone who is well-matched.

But Chang Jiayao’s concerns were not wrong.

The distance between the capital and southern Xinjiang is indeed too far.

Even if both of them were air force soldiers, it would not be enough to bridge the gap.

"Ugh……"

Chang Haonan sighed softly:

"You should have told me about this when you chose your company..."

Chang Jiayao did not clearly express her preference for the garrison at that time, but she just wanted to be as close to the front line of military struggle as possible, so Chang Haonan arranged her to the 34th Division.

After all, at this moment, China's transport aircraft units do not have many tasks related to "military struggle".

However, when it comes to this topic, Chang Jiayao shook her head firmly:

"This unit is the closest to the front line among the options available at the beginning. I can't give it up for someone..."

have to.

Chang Haonan held his forehead and shook his head.

He should have guessed.

If Chang Jiayao was a love-brained person, she wouldn't have been single until she was 40 like herself in her previous life...

"never mind."

While Chang Haonan felt somewhat helpless, he did not think there was anything wrong with his sister's choice.

There is no right or wrong in focusing on career or family.

"You're right. Lifelong events should be considered more carefully..."

Of course, this is just superficial rhetoric.

In fact, what he was thinking was...

"I need to talk to Zheng Liangqun about this when I have time."
