Book 12: Chapter 14


    Lin Chucheng!


    Lin Chucheng saw Oraina waiting for him at the base entrance as soon as their truck pulled over. He helped the girl off, but Oraina pulled her from his hand and shoved her over to Alice. Oraina directed, Go join thebat teams briefing right away. All the pilots are already there.


    Yes, Maam! Lin Chucheng knew Oraina wasnt down to hear him exin the girl judging from her stern visage. Hence, he put the thought aside and followed her to the briefing room.


    Lin Chucheng quietly found himself a seat to sit in the so-called briefing room was just a few tents put together. Usually, thered be an official tent. Howbeit, the enemy doesnt wait for you to prepare in war. The pilots sitting inside didnt werent in the mood for jokes. Lin Chucheng could feel the atmosphere cranking his neck.


    Our mission is to provide reinforcements for a navy. We dont have enough pilots in the navy. ording to our intel, Troy and his allies have deployed, at least, aircraft carriers to destroy our hangar andmand facilities. We only have two aircraft carriers. Hence, we have been assigned a shuttle bombing mission, Oraina exined, pointing to the board.


    Lin Chucheng earnestly studied the enemy aircraft carriers and calcted the amount of time he could potentially fly. The mission was on the frontlines. The enemy wasnt a group of new recruits. Their aircrafts werent out-dated versions. He wasnt so confident hed seed again.


    The navy and air force lost contact during their mission; the navy couldnt make it back. The enemy dispatched a team to capitalise on that as soon as they discovered it, targeting the newly establishedmand base and air force base. Should they sessfully capture the two, Troys side would have dominated the sky in the area.


    The navy only had two aircraft carriers to deploy. The air force stationed here was still weak because they had only just arrived. The only edge they had was that the aircraft carrier was an ind that wouldnt sink, allowing their dive bombers to perform a shuttle bombing.


    The bombers had to take off from the ind, refuel and load up at the aircraft carrier, then take off again to carry out the shuttle bombing. After that, they had to fly back to the ind. The strategy couldpensate for theirck of numbers. That being said, the pressure on the pilots was enormous.


    The pilots werent perfectionists who couldplete any mission assigned to them. In regards to Lin Chucheng, his only achievement thus far was sinking two transportation ships. Transportation ships and aircraft carriers were in different leagues asbatants.


    I know you havent been trained tond on an aircraft carrier; however, we have no other choice in order to ensure enough take offs. The fighter jets on the aircraft carrier will provide you with support in the sky. Still, bear in mind that the navys pilots have a differentmander, so expect lousy teamwork. This is not a patrol mission. We are not bombing a transport ship. We are up against Troy Empires aircraft carriers and elite veterans in the air. I want to see you all back here after the mission. If it reallyes down to it, I ask that you honour Iris Kingdoms honour and your honour as soldiers to the very end. Oraina saluted her soldiers.


    The soldiers rose to their feet to stoically reciprocate the salute.


    Lin Chuchengs fingers shook. He could seemingly hear his heart hammering away: <em>Can I do this?</em>


    Prepare for take-off, pilots! Prepare your radios tomunicate with the navy. Lin Chucheng


    Lin Chucheng made out what Orainas mug implied and dered, Captain Oraina, Lin Chucheng requests to join the mission!


    The startled pilots looked to Lin Chucheng and then Oraina. She gyrated her lips: <em>Its all your fault that I cant say what I want to say.</em>


    The enemy wasnt going to spare Lin Chucheng because he was Lin Dongqings son. She wanted to assign him to the reserve team. Nevertheless, she couldnt deny him after he requested to join in everyones presence for, if she denied him, itd imply they were all going to die carrying out their mission. As new pilots, the risk of them fleeing was higherpared to veterans, and she knew that it was a suicide mission. New pilots, who had only been assigned simple missions, were working together with fighter jet pilots they had never worked with before to prate through an elite enemy line to bomb the enemy aircraft carrier  catergorically, a suicide mission.


    Lin Chucheng requests to join the mission! I am part of the squad! I should join myrades! Captain Oraina, please allow me to join the team! I will not be a hindrance!
