Chapter 1: I Am a Pilot

  Sun Xiang is a first-class pilot in the GZ military region, living in the 21st century's new socialist society with four haves: car, house, girlfriend and gun (J-10). He has been serving in the army for 4 years and is now a 21-year-old fine young man. Although he became a fighter jet pilot through his father's (GZ military region chief of staff) connections, he has never been promoted due to personal reasons. His carefree personality led him to win several "honors" and "records" in the special flight squadron: first person to bring girlfriend to barracks for visit; first person with flying skills unmatched worldwide but ranked last in discipline; first person to challenge and defeat a combat instructor from special forces unit... Good at foreign languages but bad at math, etc.

  February 5, 2008 A certain military region's military exercise Red Army Command

  "Commander! Two of our planes have been spotted in the air, rapidly approaching our position!"

  "Chief: "Huh? What's going on? Send them a message and have them assemble at the designated target quickly, or they'll be left behind."

  Line in charge.

  Communicator: "Affirmative. You two aircraft assemble at the assembly point quickly, repeat, you two aircraft assemble at the assembly point quickly."

  Airplane: "......"

  "Communicator: 'Report to the superior, the aircraft is maintaining radio silence'"

  Commander: "What's going on? Ah? Get me a pilot quickly!" The communications officer turned and ran away.

  Commander: "What's going on?! I'm Command Center, what's the situation with your two planes!! Now hurry up and fly back to the designated target!"

  Gathering.

  Xun Xiang: "Haha! Red Army Command Center Chief! First, I would like to extend my sincerest apologies to you! Your Red Army Command Center has..."

  "In Blue Force's airspace, you've been annihilated! From now on, please maintain radio silence!"

  "Commander: 'What? Who are you? How did you end up flying my Red Army plane? Hey! Hey?!'"

  "Commander! Our command center's communication equipment has been hit by an electromagnetic pulse and is completely paralyzed."

  The commander's whole body was as weak as if someone had sucked out all his energy, but suddenly he bounced up from the ground and shouted: "Damn it!! Communicator, immediately report to my superiors that someone is interfering with the normal conduct of the exercise. I want to find out who that son of a bitch is, I'm going to see who dares to stir up trouble under my command!"

  "Blue Army Command: "What's going on? Why is the Red Army system suddenly in chaos? All units are in disarray! Quickly contact the 4th, 5th, 8th and 10th battalions and have them rapidly advance to attack the weak points on the Red Army's flank. Cut through their middle without worrying about the encircled troops. Take out the Red Army Command Center for me!"

  Communications officer: "Reporting to the commander, a message from Air Force Unit 'Da Peng' has arrived. The Red Army command center has been destroyed."

  Blue Army Command: "......"

  At this time in the sky

  "Eagle: 'Eagle calling Albatross, come in please'"

  "Da Peng received, Old Eagle please speak." The voice was lazy and drawling, but very pleasant to listen to.

  Eagle: "Brother Xiao's move was too beautiful, it actually allowed us to directly take down the Red Army command center. Your disguise"

  "How did their pilots come up with this idea?"

  "That's right, who am I?! Don't dare say it on the ground! Once in heaven, isn't that still my territory? Who can be my opponent? Hehe, listen to me and you won't go wrong!"

  Eagle: "Haha! When has Brother Sun ever gone back on his word?"

  "But I'm thinking of a question, hmm!" Sun Xiang said very seriously

  Eagle: "What's wrong?"

  Da Peng: "How will we explain this when we get back to headquarters?"

  "Eagle: "!!!! You said HQ approved the operation, didn't you?! AHHHH~~~~~~"

  "Hahaha..."

  Two planes whizzed by, soaring into the sky.

  February 6, 2008 A military court in a certain Military Region

  Judge: "I hereby declare that, after investigation by the military department, it was decided that on February 5th, 2008, during a military exercise, pilots Sun Xiang and Huang Mei seriously violated discipline, disrupted the normal conduct of the exercise, and fired electromagnetic projectiles which damaged equipment worth tens of millions of yuan at the Red Army command center. Huang Mei's behavior was extremely bad and he showed no remorse, so he is given a severe warning and a major demerit. Sun Xiang's second-class merit is cancelled, and from today on, his military rank is stripped, and he will be detained for observation."

  GZ military region Chief of Staff Sun: "Lock him up for a month, that little brat is causing me trouble again" with a hint of amusement in his tone.

  Political Commissar of NJ Military Region: "Haha, it's this little brat again, annoying Old Sun."

  "Everyone should pay attention to this incident. On the premise that we don't make the same mistake, we must fully recognize Sun Xiang's strategic intentions. This is a very classic beheading tactic. We need to detail each of his strategic steps and put them into special operations case studies."

  Similar language appeared throughout the Southern Military Region, all for these two people and two aircraft unfolding learning activities...

  What is our hero doing?

  In a certain confinement room; Huang Mei: "Xiang Ge, Xiang Ge! Quickly tell me what kind of feeling is it between you and her?"

  Sun Xiang thought to himself: Dammit! It's not that I didn't want to say, it's just that I've never tried it before. His face turned serious and stern as he said: "It's an incredibly wonderful feeling, but... the Buddha says: cannot be spoken, cannot be spoken."

  One month later:

  "Base calling Da Peng, base calling Da Peng, come in please respond"

  "Da Peng received, base cleared for takeoff."

  "Order you to take off immediately, force-land M military plane...... Sun Xiang, be careful yourself"

  "Da Peng received it... Dad, Director Sun, don't worry, I know!"

  The plane shot up into the sky like a treasure sword out of its scabbard. 18 minutes later, the two planes met and after a round of dogfighting

  "This is sacred Chinese airspace, please leave immediately."

  "Ah ha! York, Chinese pilots are calling our bluff!"

  York: "Hey! Let's give this guy some color!"

  Two reconnaissance planes kept alternating cover and approached J-10, forcing Sun Xiang's plane to lower its altitude.

  Watching the two reconnaissance planes making provocative moves, Sun Xiang's lungs were about to burst: "Damn it! Do you think I'm Garfield? You damn American devils, I'll let you know that when Garfield gets angry, blood splatters in all directions, give you a colorful see!"

  But then the J-10 fighter jet also charged towards the reconnaissance plane at the same time, fearless and advancing bravely! The two reconnaissance planes quickly pulled their planes high. Three planes crossed each other in the sky.

  "York! This guy is crazy, oh! God, he's coming at us again!!" The two planes crossed paths once more.

  Sun Xiang opened his sight, constantly making tactical movements, locking onto M Military's No. 1 reconnaissance plane.

  "Ah! Charlie, oh God we're locked on what are we gonna do? If he launches a missile I'm dead!"

  "Take it easy, pal, I bet this guy won't fire, relax, relax, please drop him."

  "Hi, gentlemen, good afternoon. For God's sake, I'll give you two options: first, I'll shoot you down with a missile; second, I'll shoot you down with a machine gun. You choose."

  "Ah, no, no, no, this is all a misunderstanding, sir! You can't do this, you can't treat us like this, we're the M country air force! I'm going to protest to your government and we didn't open fire, we just deviated from our route!!"

  "Hey, hey!! Your words are clever, but this is Chinese airspace. This is the third route, park your plane at our airport, and maybe you'll still have a chance to see that 'beauty with a torch' in New York State while you're still alive, gentlemen! Hurry up and make your choice!! I don't have much patience to wait for your answer."

  Charlie: “………”

  York: “……”

  "Da Peng calling base, mission accomplished! Please clear the runway for three aircraft."

  "Base received, permission to land"

  Two reconnaissance planes landed one after another, and Sun Xiang was still circling in the sky above the base. It really looked like a big roc hovering in the sky, patrolling its own territory. However, the sky suddenly darkened, thunder rumbled, black clouds gathered and thickened in the sky, and before long they were close to the ground.

  Sun Xiang: "Da Peng calling base, visibility in the sky is zero! I... can't see anything!"

  "Control: 'Pull up quickly, stay calm, visibility is too low, you can only rely on instruments now, just pretend it's a night flight exercise'"

  Sun Xiang: "Received" Just as he was about to pull up the plane, he saw a bright light visible to the naked eye piercing out of the dark clouds, like a divine dragon made of light swallowing his aircraft in one gulp...

  At the same time, a dark cloud also appeared near Andrews Air Force Base in Washington, USA.

  Andrews Air Force Base

  Radar soldier: "Sir! An abnormal weather phenomenon has appeared in the sky!"

  Officer: "What's going on? Have all our planes returned?"

  Radar soldier: "Report to the superior officer, there is a small team conducting flight training"

  "Tell them to divert to the nearest airbase on their return. It's a dead issue, visibility is too low."

  Radar soldier: "Sir, all wireless communications have been cut off."

  Suddenly dark clouds dispersed without warning!

  Sun Xiang regained his composure after a brief daze and found that the sky had lit up again: "Huh? It's really strange, was someone just singing Zhou Yunjie's 'The End of the World'? I'm seeing ghosts~~ Da Peng calling base, Da Peng calling base, please respond if received"

  “…………”

  "Da Peng calling base, come in please!!"

  “…………”

  Sun Xiang muttered to himself, "Why isn't the base responding? Did what just happened mess up my comms device?" He casually turned on the radio, and at first there was a burst of static noise. A few minutes later, his ears were filled with beautiful music accompanied by a sweet female voice (in English): "This is American Broadcasting Station's afternoon broadcast, on this lovely afternoon..."

  "What the SA? Oh my god, how did I end up in America? Was I 'eaten' by a cloud and then 'pulled' here? No way, how is it possible to cross half of the globe in an instant? This world is truly crazy."

  A pleasant voice once again entered Sun Xiang's ears "Today is March 7, 1936, the German army violated the Treaty of Versailles and occupied the Rhineland. Everyone please remember today..." Sun Xiang's brain was like being hit by a big hammer, buzzing with excitement!

  "Heavens, isn't this guy pulling a fast one on me?"
