On that day, Xu Huaian, the squadron leader of the Third Squadron and one of Cheng Chongjin's strong buddies, came back and met Cheng Chongjin who was on standby at the airport. He couldn't help but ask: "Da Cheng, what mission are you doing? Why don't you move? Just stay at the airport to perform the mission? Get some ventilation with your brothers, is it escort or reconnaissance?"

However, after asking this question, this person also felt that it was unreliable. Since the third generation of aircraft, the J-7 series of fighters have withdrawn from the front-line combat deployment. Their main combat missions have changed to train pilots and use them as second-line reserve forces. With the performance of this model, it seems that it is not the turn for them to take action, whether it is escort or reconnaissance.

"It's neither escort nor reconnaissance, you'd better not inquire. To be honest, we're just waiting for the order to arrive. The specific tasks must be directly arrived at the headquarters. The military region may not be clear about it, and we don't know what to do." Cheng Chongjin said with a careless eye.

On the one hand, this matter has confidentiality requirements, and on the other hand, Cheng Chongjin thinks that this mission is indeed not reliable. Relying on their fast-moving J-7 to track the most advanced drone today, it may make people laugh if they say it out.

Their squadrons have trained the use of the monitoring system invented by Duke. The airborne monitoring system also has the technical content of the instructions, tracking and navigation functions. After all, it is the first generation product, and Duke has not considered it so thoroughly. If these details are not trained, they can't figure out how to use them, so the three of them are very clear about the goal of this task.

Cheng Chongjin said this to be like talking lies with his eyes open.

However, the Military Region Air Force Command may not really know that this matter was promoted by Qin Tairan. He directly issued an order from the Military Commission to ask the Southeast Military Region Air Force to send a squadron to cooperate. The specific task was to determine the military engineering. Now, Duke's system, under the banner of military engineering, claims to be a product in the development of military engineering, mainly targeting the detection system prototype of the American Global Hawk.

"Take it down, Old Cheng, if you have good things, you will hide it. It's not enough for buddy. Don't forget to treat meritoriously and receive awards." Xu Huaian said with some dissatisfaction, but as a soldier, he knew that some things should not be asked about. Since Cheng Chongjin was unwilling to say it, this task must be a confidential task.

So although he was still a little curious, he stopped talking in time and stopped talking. Such things were enough, otherwise it would be difficult for Xu Huaian to explain clearly if there was a problem in the future.

"Look, we've been here for almost a week, and we're sitting a little inflexible. Why do we say that we're going to make contributions?" Cheng Chongjin smiled bitterly. "It's better than you. At least you can still maintain normal flights. You can learn more skill and adapt to new models in the future."

"Okay, Dacheng, just go and have fun by yourself." Xu Huaian cursed with a smile, "It's a bit hypocritical to complain about it."

Duke didn't know that his latest detection system had such a bad reputation among the Air Force parties. Moreover, the Air Force actually sent only a second-line flight squadron to perform this potentially epoch-making mission. The maximum range of this type of fighter jet is only about 2,000 kilometers, which means that the combat radius is only within 1,000 kilometers. This has to be added to all the secondary fuel tanks!

The only thing that meets the requirements is that this type of fighter can still fly at supersonic speeds, and its speed can be much faster than the Global Hawks.

If Duke knew that the Air Force sent such a master aircraft, he would be disappointed. Even if this performance bites the tail of the Global Hawk, it can be tracked for about an hour at most. It is hard to say whether Duke's verification can be completed in such a short time.

However, no trace of Global Hawk was found, and Duke would not waste time on the front line, so Duke is not very clear about the Air Force's huge discount cooperation.

However, there has been no news, which made Duke restless. Soon, Duke asked to produce more monitoring ground systems. In groups of three, more than ten groups were deployed on the southeast coast, covering almost 3,000 kilometers long and more than 100 kilometers wide sea boundaries. That is, Duke is rich and powerful, so he directly produced dozens of sets of verification systems in one breath, spending more than tens of millions of yuan to create such an alternative early warning system.

But efforts always pay off. The big net spread by Duke finally gained on the third day of deployment. In an air with weak domestic air defense, the shadow of the Global Hawk was the first to discover. However, this area was too far from Cheng Chongjin's on-site airport, exceeding Cheng Chongjin's combat range, so everyone could only watch the shadow of the Global Hawk disappear outside the ground surveillance system.

"Duke, that's how it is. Due to the combat readiness missions, the new Air Force fighter jets assigned to us this time have limited combat radius, so we were unable to seize the opportunity this time. I'm really sorry, I blame me for this matter, and there was no coordination between them." During the phone call, Qin Tairan reported this matter to Duke very regretfully.

After hearing this, Duke couldn't help feeling a little strange in his heart. He didn't expect that with his relationship with the senior military, he was so distorted at the specific execution level. After hearing what Qin Tairan said, he realized that the cooperation problem that he thought was completely unproblematic was suddenly highlighted.

But I can't say anything about this matter.

"Brother Qin, how can you blame you for this?" Duke comforted, "It's okay, I think this is not the case. You can coordinate the airport and the pilot. I will transfer three latest model g700 business jets to do this. I didn't think it thoroughly before. If you want to track the Global Hawk, it's too forced for ordinary fighter jets. The key is that the time to stagnate the air is too short and the purpose of long-term tracking cannot be achieved."

Now Duke's company has a high degree of internationalization and has established a business fleet mainly composed of various business jets. There is no pressure to allocate three business jets to perform this mission.

But after Duke said this, Qin Tairan was under pressure. It turned out that Duke didn't say anything, but in fact he was very disappointed with the guys from the Air Force. He was also blamed for not enough of this, which made the Air Force send a second-line flight squadron out to embarrass him.

"Duke, I'll coordinate with the Air Force to let them dispatch powerful fighter jets. How can I be embarrassed to let your business plane do such a thing?" Qin Tairan said hurriedly, "If you want to say that the cruise distance is long, you have to choose a transport plane, but the transport plane has higher requirements for the airport."

"Don't, Brother Qin, don't be polite about this matter. The transport plane is too big. If you want to get three formations to follow it, it's equivalent to alerting the enemy. It's better to use my business plane to keep it more confidential. As long as the pilot is reliable, you can coordinate this point." Duke heard Qin Tairan say this, afraid that this matter will cause further setbacks, so he quickly insisted.
Chapter completed!
