Chapter 1001: Chapter 106: Create Pressure When There’s None

Inside the fighter jet, the F22 and F35 are out of the question, but the F15, F16, and F/A-18 are now opportunities lying before Yang Yi. The choice is also in front of him.

If possible, Yang Yi would really like to try everything, but he knows it’s impossible, and understands the principle of not biting off more than one can chew, so at most two models, only two models. Any more would truly be unmanageable.

There’s no need to choose a transport plane, but it’s really hard to choose a fighter jet.

Especially since the F15 is mainly used now as a strike fighter, rather than as the air superiority fighter it was designed to be. The F15E has become the most used bomber in the United States Air Force. But what about the F16? Although it can also be used as a strike fighter, its potential for modifications as a strike bomber is ultimately not as great as the F15, a twin-engine heavy fighter, and it’s more often used as a pure fighter.

After some thought, Yang Yi feels perhaps it should be the F15, afterall it is a large fighter, and there are many fighter-bomber variants. If you’re going to learn, why not learn a large aircraft.

However, the F16 really is a widely distributed model, with many more countries purchasing the F16 than the F15.

Finally, Yang Yi grits his teeth and says, "I’ll learn the F16 and C-130!"

Hegelhaus couldn’t hold back his surprise, "Two types! Are you sure?"

Yang Yi clenches his teeth and says firmly, "Yes, two types. No more than that, any more would indeed be problematic. I’m quite confident with these two types!"

"Quite confident..."

Hegelhaus, as if insulted, suddenly pulls out two thick flight manuals, slams them heavily on the table in front of Yang Yi, and says in a deep voice, "Just now I only mentioned what the rewards will be if you succeed, but I didn’t say what the punishment would be if you fail, did I?"

I knew it wouldn’t be that simple, Yang Yi says solemnly, "Yes."

"Then let me tell you, if you succeed, I will take you to fly real-model aircraft. If you fail, you’ll roll out of my airfield. Understood?"

Yang Yi quickly analyzes the pros and cons.

He flies the primary trainer aircraft very well now, and it could be said that he has already learned to fly. He hasn’t learned helicopters yet, but even if he leaves this training camp, he can still learn elsewhere. If he wants more convenience, Yang Yi could buy a few helicopters to fly for fun, buying one and crashing one would be no problem, and hiring a coach would be even less of an issue, guaranteed with a good attitude.

Transport or commercial planes, those are even less of an issue. Yang Yi already owns a private plane company, and then he can buy planes. What about Boeing or Airbus models he can’t afford? Even a Boeing 777 or an Airbus A380, if he wants to buy one to fly for fun, he can surely afford it.

There’s no need to buy, but it’s not that he can’t afford it. The difference is really big.

But fighter jets are different. No matter how rich Yang Yi is, F16s are not easy to buy. Bought ones would have nowhere to be stored, and if stored, they would not be well-maintained, and if maintained...

Wait, Yang Yi suddenly remembers he has an identity as an arms dealer, which means that while it’s a bit difficult to buy something like the F16, it’s not entirely impossible. Although fighter jets are big-ticket military hardware, Deyo’s business list really does include military aircraft.

Still a problem, getting all this sorted out would be too troublesome after all.

Yang Yi is someone who values efficiency, so since there’s a chance to learn all this at zero cost now, and with the best coach, he certainly wants to seize the opportunity.

But Yang Yi realizes that even if he fails, he won’t be out of opportunities. With this in mind, the pressure seems to have lifted a lot.

With no pressure, there’s no motivation. Startled by the realization that having money can really do as one pleases, Yang Yi suddenly feels his motivation to learn isn’t as strong.

This won’t do.

Finally, after pondering for a while, Yang Yi says gravely, "Do you think I can’t do it?"

Hegelhaus remains silent, just looking at Yang Yi as if he’s looking at an idiot.

Yang Yi confidently looks into Hegelhaus’s eyes and says, "Instructor, let’s make a bet. I think I can do it. If I lose, I’ll... run naked along the airfield’s runway while yelling ’I’m an idiot’, and then I’ll never show up in front of you again."

Hegelhaus is even more astonished, he looks at Yang Yi’s confident appearance, and after sizing him up, he yells loudly, "You’re really crazy!"

Yang Yi smiles, "I’m not finished yet. You really like your sunglasses, don’t you? I’ve noticed you always wearing them."

Hegelhaus coldly says, "These are my trophy. When I shot down my fifth enemy plane and became an ace pilot, my superior gave them to me as a gift. If you win, I’ll give you the sunglasses!"

Yang Yi waves his hand, "That precious? Nevermind then, I don’t want them. Besides, you’ve been wearing them for many years, a long time. I don’t want to wear someone else’s sunglasses for that long, and if I don’t wear them, I won’t be able to show off in front of others. Let me think about what kind of spoils of war I want."

Hegelhaus suddenly slaps his hand on the table, furiously saying, "You haven’t won yet! If you win, I’ll give you the sunglasses! That’s settled!"

Yang Yi looks troubled, "But I really don’t want them..."

Hegelhaus feels like he’s about to go mad, he yells loudly, "You haven’t won yet!"

Yang Yi seriously says, "No, I’m not stupid. If this bet is too precious, what if I win and you still say I lost? Don’t forget, you’re the judge yourself, and the only one at that."

Hegelhaus roars, "Shut up! I would never do something like that!"

Yang Yi says solemnly, "How about, if I lose, you get your sidearm? I like your gun, I really do, and I don’t fancy wearing sunglasses that someone else has worn for a long time. Plus, our facial shapes aren’t quite the same."

Hegelhaus suddenly draws his pistol, slams it hard onto the table, and roars, "If you lose, you’ll run naked around the entire training camp! That’s settled!"

The gun is an M1911, with an ivory handle no less, and it looks quite old too; no wonder Hegelhaus ups the ante.

With no pressure, Yang Yi voluntarily adds pressure to himself, his goal achieved. He extends his hand forward and says loudly, "That’s settled!"

Hegelhaus, suppressing his nausea, shakes hands with Yang Yi, then immediately withdraws his hand, pointing at Yang Yi, "Take your stuff and leave, starting from now, by this time tomorrow, if you haven’t passed the two types of aircraft... hah, you wait for your death!"

Yang Yi, not irked or annoyed, picks up the two flight manuals, smiling, "Thank you for giving me this chance, please believe me, I definitely can do it. I’m leaving, goodbye, instructor, and thank you."
