75 – The story of how I got the plane
At my cautious question, Glass nodded with a bright expression on his face.
“aircraft? bien sûr (of course)! That’s what I did when I was in the Air Force, so it’s still possible. Of course, this is under the premise that the model is correct.”
“French aircraft. Was it the Rafale MK 4? Unfortunately, it is the F-15 K. Mk3 that can be operated, but there will be no major problems. It was confirmed that the control terminal here is not much different from the French one.”
Since the introduction of unmanned aerial vehicles piloted by hunters against the public enemy of the Abyss in earnest, there has been a movement to unify the possible control terminals in each country that produces weapons.
Unlike when they were competing with each other, now it was a situation where they had to cooperate as much as possible against the endlessly pouring out monsters.
Nevertheless, there were still many differences, but luckily the UAV control terminals used by the French military and the Korean military were manufactured in a fairly similar way, so there was no major problem with the control itself.
And in that respect.. Among the French military, it was not impossible for Glass, which belonged to the Air Force, to pilot the aircraft currently used in the military.
“But, does that make drone payments so easy? It’s not like ammunition, and considering the price of each one, it wouldn’t be very easy starting with the procedure..”
“That… somehow it became possible.”
“yes?..”
A glass with an expression of doubt and surprise
Regarding this, Jinhyeon began to think of the situation from just before that he still honestly does not understand.
*
It was not long after arriving at the temporary headquarters.
It was the time when I was watching the battlefield in front of my eyes.
“Hey you there.”
The next moment, hearing a voice behind me, I slowly turned my gaze toward it.
Right after that, a woman in military uniform appeared in front of me.
She was quite tall and beautiful with brown hair and eyes, but she had a very strict impression.
Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm
Judging from the shape of the military uniform, it was assumed that she was also an adjutant, and I could easily tell that she belonged to the Air Force, not the Army.
“You’re seeing this for the first time. Judging from your outfit, you don’t look like a soldier. Who are you and what are you doing here?”
“Yes, my name is Jinhyun Lee. As an adjutant leading the Black Hunters, I was looking at the situation on the battlefield.”
“Black Hunter Adjutant? That’s right.. It’s definitely about time to arrive one by one by now..”
She reacted as if she understood my words in a surprisingly simple way.
Apparently, this side also seemed to have heard the story to some extent beforehand, so it seemed that they quickly understood the current situation without much doubt.
“I’m sorry I seem to have inadvertently disturbed you, my name is Dana Song. I am working as an adjutant of the 3rd Hunter Guild, and I am also working as a manager here.”
“The 3rd Hunter Guild… I have heard of its reputation. It is truly an honor to meet the hero of the Battle of Wonsan.”
Unlike before, I bowed politely to her who expressed her apology with a slightly softened appearance.
Although it was the first time I had met this person in person, I had heard about the 3rd Hunter Guild several times before being discharged.
It was made up of hunters belonging to the Air Force and had considerable power, but compared to that power, it was said that the young activity was not cool.
However, since the introduction of a new lieutenant, the overall atmosphere of the guild has changed, so I remembered that it was mentioned quite often within the military as a success story of an elite aide-de-camp.
And, crucially, the Battle of Wonsan, which became a decisive opportunity to spread the reputation of the 3rd Guild not only to the Air Force but also to the Army.
I heard that the activities of the 3rd Guild were really great there, and although it was not very well known externally, the story related to it had been talked about for quite a long time in the military.
Recognizing that the great adjutant I had only heard about indirectly was the person in front of me, I willingly showed my respect.
“I’m glad they recognize you…but honestly, it’s a bit unexpected. I didn’t expect that among the Black Hunter lieutenants, there would be someone who knew about it.”
“Yeah, it’s a little bit like saying this. I, too, was a soldier until recently, so I know about it because I heard the story.”
“soldier? If so, did you work as a Hunter Guild lieutenant back then?”:
Song Dana asked with a slightly curious voice. Regarding this, I dared to be honest as I had nothing to hide.
“Yes, it is. It’s been about 7 months, but… Originally, I worked as an adjutant for the disbanded 28th Guild. I belong to the black hunter company Dreamers now, but…”
“!..”
Adjutant Song Dana looks a bit surprised the moment she hears my words.
Seeing her like this, I automatically started to feel bitter.
‘Well… you’d be surprised, since I heard that most of the members were the lieutenants of the Hunter Guild that were massacred…’
Recognizing that I unintentionally made the atmosphere slightly awkward, I smiled bitterly.
“That..I see…you were the adjutant of the 28th guild, right? I know the story of that place. What a pity.”
“Yes.. It was definitely something that should never happen again..”
To Song Dana’s words of consolation, I answered with a little determination.
As the saying goes, a tragedy that should never happen again and must be prevented from recurring with my own hands.
Recognizing that fact, I began to keep my eyes on the battlefield in silence again.
Fortunately, the offensive of the Abyss that had just sortied a little while ago was dampened. Despite this, there are still many situations where the enemies are disgusting.
And in response, the Air Force hunters started moving their bombers again in order to finish off the enemies with certainty.
-Swoon!!!
Bombers flying across the sky with a roar.
Less than half of them would come back, but they would nonetheless deliver more damage to their enemies.
Birds made of steel that take off even when they know they’re falling
I watched them fly towards the enemy camp without taking my eyes off them for a while.
at that time..
Next to me, I suddenly heard a voice.
“It seems you haven’t been able to take your eyes off it since a while ago. Are you interested in aircraft by any chance?”
“yes? Ah yes. Frankly, yes. There are quite a few methods that can be used strategically. Above all, when it comes to gathering information, there is nothing like anti-aircraft reconnaissance.”
“Yes, air supremacy is the essence of war. It was all thanks to him that we were able to gain the upper hand in this fierce war against the Abyss.”
Adjutant Song Dana’s words of pride as an Air Force member.
I nodded slowly and agreed.
“Yes, it is as you say. The effectiveness of air forces in war is very great. Even so, I am quite interested in that aspect.”
“Ohhh.. then Adjutant Lee Jin-hyeon is also operating air power?”
Adjutant Dana Song seems a bit excited as the conversation turns to her field of expertise.
Regarding this, I answered her question with sincere regret.
“No, although we do not have an aircraft that can operate yet, so we are only licking our lips. But.. I’m thinking of trying to introduce it sooner or later when I get a chance. Considering the company’s financial situation, it seems like there are not one or two mountains to overcome.”
“Hmm.. Well, due to the nature of private companies, there are limits..”
In my words, she’s starting to show a bit of regret.
But after a while, she looked at me as if something interesting had occurred to her and asked cautiously.
“If that’s the case… if I were given the chance to test run it once, would you try it?”
“..yes?”
Adjutant Dana Song brings out unexpected words.
At her tremendous suggestion that followed, I couldn’t help but look blank for a moment.
