A few days later, under Owen's instructions, the KPA began a large-scale selection of qualified pilots.This selection is not only conducted internally, but also open to the general public, and anyone who wants to become a pilot can sign up and then take a series of assessment tests.The reason why the "selection" method is adopted is because pilots are not like vehicle drivers, almost everyone can learn to drive, it has extremely strict requirements.Fighter pilots, in particular, have very high requirements for physical ability, psychological quality, and so on.The task of building an airplane has just been put on the agenda, and Tilion and they are still working on the design drawings, and they have not yet started to build them!
There's a reason why you want to start recruiting pilots so early.Compared with learning to fly an airplane, learning to drive is a relatively easy skill to master.Therefore, it is completely possible to wait for the car to be built, and then recruit drivers, give them rigorous training, and let them carry out the task in about a month.And pilots can't wait until the planes are built to recruit them, because then it's too late.Before actually flying an airplane, pilots have to go through all kinds of rigorous training and learn a lot of knowledge, which undoubtedly takes more time than learning to drive, so they must recruit good people in advance.You know, a good pilot is worth much more than an airplane.After all, it is simple to build an airplane, as long as a production line is established and enough money and resources are invested, the aircraft can be produced in a short time.However, pilots cannot be mass-produced, and every qualified pilot needs to go through a lot of simulation training and hundreds of hours of flight time to be trained.As for good pilots, the accumulated flight time is even more.All in all, it's right to recruit qualified pilots early, train them, and build up a talent pool.In this way, the KPA Air Force will be able to form combat strength at an earlier stage and will be able to take off to carry out missions when needed in the future.If we want to train fighter pilots who can carry out missions as soon as possible, we can only conduct large-scale selection and find talented pilots with talent from the broad masses of the people.That's the only way to do it.To the southeast of Auroville is a large area of mud houses, a temporary settlement that is still home to a large number of former serfs and refugees from the south.In a dirt room, Sam's family, freed, freed, are having dinner.A pot of hot wheat porridge and two simple vegetarian dishes were placed on the table, and the family of four sat around the table and ate with relish.For them, the dinner was hearty enough.In the old days, they could only nibble on half a piece of black bread with water, and the owner at that time was very stingy and would never give them enough food.All of this changed two years ago when the Eastrise Fortress changed hands and Sam's family was given to the Bordertown Lords in exchange for captured nobles.At the time, Sam thought it was just a change of owner and life was business as usual.never expected that after their family arrived here, they would be able to live a good life that they couldn't imagine before.The current king must have been sent by the gods to rescue their serfs, and Sam was convinced of this and was grateful to the king."
That's right, Sam."
After drinking the wheat porridge, Sam's father put down the bowl and said to Sam, "I heard that the army is recruiting in the square today.Oh!
It's the pilot!
The pay is frighteningly high, why don't you give it a try tomorrow?
What if you're lucky enough to be recruited!
”"If the salary is high, it means that the recruitment requirements are also high."
Sam didn't think much about it, he shook his hand at his father, and said with some self-awareness: "I haven't even gotten a junior degree certificate for the adult night shift, and the other party must be too lazy to look at me, so forget it." ”In order to encourage adults to improve and change themselves through learning, Owen asked the Ministry of Education to organize free night classes for adults, so that students can take the graduation exams in the fall just like the students in the school, and pass the grades and get a degree certificate.Although Sam participated in the adult night shift, he was too tired to work in the evening because he had to work in the fields with his father during the day, and although he had worked hard to study, it was unfortunately not very efficient.Last fall, he went to take the graduation exam, but unfortunately, he failed to get a passing grade."
No, I heard that the recruitment conditions are very lenient, and you can sign up if you are illiterate."
The father shook his head and said, "It is only required that applicants who meet the age requirements have good physical fitness, pass a series of tests to become reserve soldiers, and even if they fail to become official pilots, they can also get a good subsidy."
I thought you were in good shape, so I thought I'd let you sign up for it. ”"Really?"
Hearing this, Sam was skeptical, the conditions were so lenient and the salary was high, what did the army have to do when recruiting pilots?
Flight?
Can you still fly into the sky?
What are you kidding, he shook his head again and again, and quickly dispelled this ridiculous idea."
Brother, you go and try, being a soldier is a very handsome thing!"
Tom, the younger brother sitting next to Sam, had a twinkle in his eyes and said with anticipation, "If I succeed, I will be able to show off to others that I have an older brother who is a soldier."
Also, I have decided that after graduating and getting my degree certificate, I will also join the People's Army and serve the king!
”Tom is still young and is currently enrolled in a new school.There seemed to be someone in their class who showed off every day that he had an older brother who was a soldier, and he was quite proud, which made Tom very envious."
Sam, since you're eligible, go give it a try."
Sam's mother also advised: "Anyway, it doesn't cost money to sign up for the test, and if we are really recruited, our family can move into the new house sooner." ”This is a provision for the preferential treatment policy for the families of soldiers.After all, soldiers are going to go into battle to kill the enemy, engage in dangerous work, and have made such a great contribution, their families can naturally move into new houses first."
Then I'll try it tomorrow."
In any case, the treatment of the People's Army is the best that everyone agrees to have, and now that he has the opportunity to join the army, it is impossible for Sam not to be impressed."
Come on!
Brother!
”Tom encouraged."
Then you don't have to go to the fields with me tomorrow to work, just go to the square to sign up."
The son's willingness to sign up made the father feel a little happy, and he still had a glimmer of hope that his son would be recruited by the army."
I've heard that there are a lot of people who sign up, but the number of places recruited is very limited, and the number of people who can take the test every day is fixed, so it's better to go early.""
yes, I see."
After drinking the wheat porridge in the bowl in one gulp, Sam got up from his seat and helped his mother clean up the table.In order to wake up early tomorrow, Sam went to bed very early tonight.
