Pierre Vendier: 我从小就怀揣着为国家服务的梦想,海军生涯让我有机会实现这一愿望。在海军的训练中,我发现了航空的魅力,并毅然选择了成为一名航母舰载机飞行员。这段经历充满了挑战,但也让我收获了成长和荣誉。在职业生涯中,我曾参与波斯尼亚战争和科索沃战争,积累了实战经验。最让我难忘的经历是担任法国航母戴高乐号的指挥官,参与了在叙利亚和伊拉克的行动,与美国等盟友密切合作,确保航母的战备状态和可靠性。在加入北约之前,我担任法国的副参谋长,负责采购、理论、训练和支持等部门,为我日后在北约的工作打下了坚实的基础。现在,我在北约的任务是创新和转型,创建一个更灵活、更具创新精神的联盟,不仅能够创新,还能扩大创新规模。我深知转型之路充满挑战,但我坚信,通过不懈的努力和创新,我们一定能够打造一支更加强大的北约军队。
