"The American Tomcat fighter has great performance advantages. Now, we only have the high-altitude and high-speed MiG-25, which is completely inadequate. This time we lost in the air confrontation, our fighters also have great performance. The reason for this." Andre said in a heavy tone facing Lieutenant General Constantine.
The investigation of the defection is still ongoing, and how to deal with the follow-up has yet to be decided by Moscow. On this day, the commander-in-chief of the Far East Land Defense Air Force, Lieutenant General Constantine, personally came to the Sokolovka base to conduct an investigation. jobs.
Kozhdub was trembling on the sidelines. For such a big incident in the base, he must be mainly responsible, and more importantly, he couldn't even find a backing.
Ivanov was the commander of the 513 regiment. The pilots in his regiment defected. It is said that Ivanov should be responsible. However, Ivanov has been hit by the opponent in the next air battle. The whereabouts are unknown.
In this case, Kojdubu is not optimistic about his future at all.
Fortunately, now Lieutenant General Constantine did not pay attention to him, but first listened to Andre’s statement. Andre first reported the situation at the time and then summarized it.
These are all lessons of blood and tears.
Although Andre is just an ordinary pilot, he is the only pilot who entered the fight with the American Tomcat fighter. Some time ago, over the Pacific Ocean, the MiG-25 fighter was used by the American Tomcat. The fighters played, but no fierce fighting broke out. This is the first time now.
"High-power turbofan engines, advanced electronic equipment, reliable performance, and convenient missile launches are what we need most. In contrast, high-altitude and high-speed is not enough." Andre continued: "Front section In time, we won the US EP-3, and our electronic technology personnel should also be able to find that we are behind. We must catch up."
"Andre, do you mean that if we have conflicts next, we still have no chance of winning in the face of Tomcat fighters?" Lieutenant General Constantine asked.
"General, if the order is given, we will fight bravely and desperately." Andre did not back down at all, still insisting on the principle: "However, there are generation differences. The American Tomcat fighter plane can already be regarded as a third-generation fighter. However, we can only be second-generation aircraft. We focus on high-altitude and high-speed, which is no longer suitable for future air combat."
Andre is anxious. The MiG-25 is not suitable for the future sky. This is for sure. If he chooses, he most hopes to drive the Su-27.
Now, with the success of Belenko’s defection, things have become more complicated. The mystery of the MiG-25 has disappeared. The terrifying advanced mysterious fighter in the eyes of the Americans is actually made of stainless steel.
The body is heavy, the radar facilities are rudimentary, and the ergonomics is poor. In short, the veil of the MiG-25 has been lifted.
what's next? It must be equipped with a new generation of fighters as soon as possible. The third generation of Soviet fighters in this era is still far away!
Andre has a sense of responsibility and urgency. When he came to this time and space, he found that this time and space was also a bit chaotic! How could Belenko defected a month earlier, how could he be accompanied by American female spies and those Tomcat fighters
"Andre, your suggestion is very meaningful, I will reflect it in the report to the superior, um, next, I hope you will calm down and accept all the tests of your organization." Constantine Said the lieutenant.
Take the test? what happened? Andre still doesn't quite understand.
When Lieutenant General Constantine had just left his front foot and the KGB people came on his back foot, Andrei vaguely felt something, something was wrong.
"Comrade Andrei, I am Major Serov of the Second General Directorate of the National Security Council. I learned that Captain Belenko's defect occurred here. A detailed investigation is needed. Please cooperate." The visitor asked seriously. Andre said.
"Comrade Andre, we have already understood the rough course of this incident. All this gives me the illusion that you have known in advance that Belenko is going to defect."
Everyone thought that Belenko was in a flight accident, but Andrei seemed to know that Belenko was going to defect. Why? There is a problem inside!
Andrei explained that he still could not satisfy Major Serov, and then Major Serov threw out his own judgment: "Comrade Andre, you are the hero we just established some time ago, but now we are unfortunately It turns out that you are a criminal who wants to betray our great country! That Anne, single-handedly planned the defection of you and Belenko!"
The KGB is very open-minded and can tell the truth in any way, but Andre repeatedly defended it, but it was still useless. He was taken out by the KGB people. Outside, there was a Mi-8 helicopter parked. .
As long as he got on the helicopter, Andre would never have a chance to come back. The KGB people had enough means to make him a complete traitor.
At this moment, from a distance, Andre saw a white ambulance, which was driving fast, and amid the sharp brakes, the ambulance stopped beside Andre and his group.
The car door opened, and a female doctor in a white coat came down from above. She was not wearing a mask, and at this time, her face was full of anger.
"The person you want to take away is the hero of our Soviet Union recently praised by the Moscow Pravda. He dared to bayonet his enemies and devote his blood to his homeland. You are making mistakes now. Major Serov. , Do you have an arrest warrant signed by the presidium of the National Security Council?"
In this era, there are not many people who dare to challenge the KGB, and Serov obviously has a very good attitude towards Ekaterina, adopting an attitude of business affairs: "Our KGB deals with evidence. Now, we have enough According to evidence, on the night of August 5, Andre was with the American female spy Annie."
Listening to Serov’s words, Ekaterina’s face showed a sneer, "Major Serov, you must be mistaken. Captain Andrey did not go to see any American female spies at all on the night of August 5th. , He is with me."
In an instant, a warm current surged in Andrei's heart. This lovely female doctor had already occupied an irreplaceable position in his heart. Now, she is protecting herself regardless of her reputation. It's so impressive. Moved.
A thing called love is sprouting in my heart.
