Chapter two thousand five hundred seventy-three
The Xijiao Airport in Beijing is the take-off and landing airport for the leaders of the Chinese Party and the state. The Xijiao Airport is affiliated to the 74th Air Force Division and is a special unit with more officers than soldiers. It is a confidentiality unit and is not open to the public.
The signs of Xijiao Airport will never be seen on the officially published map. Due to the special reasons why some NPC deputies and CPPCC members will also land here during the "Two Sessions" every year, Xijiao Airport is actually a semi-civilian airport under military control.
According to relevant regulations, only the Standing Committee of the Nine Central Congresses can own special planes, while other deputy state-level party and state leaders can only take charter planes. There are also clear regulations on the relevant departments of the planes they use. According to the "Implementation Measures for the Implementation of the Civil Aviation Party and State Leaders' Flight Mission", they will arrange for these leaders to enjoy different levels of services when taking flights, such as security, cabin guarantee, and call aircraft models.
The definition of the leaders of the Party and the state is: members and alternate members of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, vice premier of the State Council, secretary and alternate secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee, vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, state committee member, vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, president of the Supreme People's Court, procurator general of the Supreme People's Procuratorate and other leaders.
In addition, civil aviation has made clear provisions on other provincial and ministerial-level and above-level officials, military officials and above-level officials, ambassador-level foreign envoys; various ministries and commissions or above units or our embassies and consulates abroad to board the plane.
Each time a special plane takes off, it can be called a top-secret flight. The public only learned in news reports that the national leaders arrived at a city or country by special plane. However, the specific departure time, route, and model information of the special plane are regarded as the highest secret and are not known to the outside world. The crew of the special plane has also received strict confidentiality training, and even if you beat them to death, you cannot say this sentence is the most frequently heard in confidentiality training.
The special planes of the nine Standing Committee members and domestic special plane flights are subject to the Air China and Air Force special plane pilots, but these planes are included in the Air Force organization and have corresponding military codes. Public information shows that the President and General Secretary of the Central Committee are now riding two 7474bsp; Mu Guoxing's special plane is the same as No. 1, and is also a Boeing 7474aoo7. You should know that there are some considerations in this, whether it is the license plate number or the aircraft number, and the Special Aircraft Management Office of the General Office of the Central Committee will never ignore these details.
The Boeing 7474oo aircraft is one of the most advanced long-range civil aircraft in the world. It is equipped with 4 motors, has a high safety factor, a range of 142o5 kilometers, and can fly continuously for 15 seconds. The aircraft's fuselage is wide and has two upper and lower layers, which is very comfortable.
The leader's flight attendants on the domestic special plane are all active in the Air Force. They usually eat and live in the military compound of the Western Suburbs Airport. On the special plane, they wear Air China's traditional blue flight attendant costumes, strictly follow the service rules, and keep the professional smile of the flight attendant.
What made the crew of the No. 7 special plane depressed was that since their crew was established, they had never performed a special plane flight mission. Whenever they saw other crew members flying around the center, these people were very envious. Sometimes they also wondered if they had forgotten that they had a special plane and were busy with what they were busy in Zhongnanhai every day.
Although the special plane does not perform tasks, daily maintenance is essential. The order received by the crew is to prepare for takeoff at any time.
This day finally came. The General Office of the Central Committee notified the crew to prepare for takeoff the next day. As for where to fly, of course, they would not tell them in advance.
At nine o'clock the next morning, several high-end cars drove down the special plane's spinning ladder, and the crew, who had already prepared, came up to meet them. But the few people who came out of the car disappointed them. Among these people, there was no Central Leader who often appeared on TV. At most, they were ministerial-level cadres.
Five minutes later, a Xiao-type convoy with guard vehicles drove over and two people walked out of a big red flag car, one was a silver-headed foreigner, and the other was the Chief of Central No. 7, Executive Vice Premier of the State Council. The two got off the car and climbed the spiral ladder with laughter. It was not until this time that the crew knew who the Central Command they were serving this time.
This is the first time Mu Guoxing took his special plane. The cabin layout of the special plane is very similar to that of the US President's "Air Force One". The first half is a seat, the middle is a seat, and the back is a seat for some guests, journalists and entourages. There are seats for staff and security personnel between the ministerial seat and the guests, mainly for secretary and guards to ride. The facilities on the plane are relatively luxurious than civil aviation aircraft, but far from the luxury as imagined. You can see that when you enter the cabin, the special plane maintains the simple interior style of the Chinese leaders.
The captain was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was not too tall but looked very strong. His straight waistboard showed that this person was a typical professional soldier. Four flight attendants in blue uniforms seemed to be participating in a beauty pageant, one more beautiful than the other.
After the captain introduced the crew situation to Mu Guoxing, he went to the cockpit to prepare for takeoff. Under the guidance of the flight attendant, Mu Guoxing visited the internal facilities of the plane. Of course, the flight attendant would not introduce the internal facilities in front of foreigners. The personnel who followed Mu Guoxing to visit Dongfang City on the same plane, as well as Daniel himself, had been led to the cabin by other flight attendants.
In the dedicated cabin, there are all kinds of modern communication facilities. According to the flight attendant, no matter where the plane flies, you can contact the country at any time through satellites.
"Comrade Cabinet Officer, please invite Mr. Daniel who was opened to the train with me, oh, that is, any foreign guest?"
The flight attendant looked puzzled and hesitated for a moment and said, "Reporter, according to regulations, this cabin is for you. If you want to meet guests, please go to the reception room next door?"
Mu Guoxing laughed: "Since there are regulations, then follow the regulations. No one has the privilege in front of the regulations."
The flight attendant smiled. She didn't expect that the famous Captain No. 7 was so approachable, which was different from the situation she had served on other charter flights before. Some people did not have too much official positions, but they were not very ill-posed and were calling and drinking at the flight attendants. The flight attendant's original nervousness disappeared at this time. It seemed that people often said that the bigger the official, the better the service, and this sentence was still very correct.
Less than five minutes later, Daniel walked into the reception room with a smile: "Mr. Vice Premier, I have the honor to take the Air Force One of China Future, thank you."
The flight attendant made tea for the two of them with ease, stepped out lightly, and changed into the hatch door, showing a good professional guardian.
"Mr. Daniel, the captain told me just now that when we have to fly about two and a half hours to Dongfang City, let's take this opportunity to have a good chat."
"I am willing to do it, but I am not asking for it. As long as the Vice Premier is interested, I, the old man, will discuss it with you."
Before the two had a few words, the flight attendant knocked on the door and walked in: "Come on, the plane is about to take off. Please allow me to fasten your seat belts."
At this time, Mu Guoxing looked at the beautiful flight attendant at close range, suddenly remembered and asked: "Have you worked on Shuanglong Group for a while before?"
"I remember well. I have worked on Challenger 85o for a while and I have the honor of serving you a few times."
Looking at the flight attendant's back walking, Daniel said, "China is an ancient civilization, and everyone is so polite. The staff on American planes will not be so polite. Even the president and they just call him Mr."
Mu Guoxing laughed: "The national conditions of each country are different, and the cultural heritage varies greatly, so this is a problem that must be paid attention to at all times when fighting between countries."
"Haha, the old man, the Vice Premier can really admire me!"
