Chapter 566: Takeoff from the Mediterranean Sea at 4 a.m
When it comes to the Mediterranean, most people think of hairstyles and thalassemia, and from this point of view, the geographical relationship seems to correspond to each other. Since the Age of Discovery, this area has always been a hot spot. Sailing in this area, you may not see civilian ships, but you will definitely encounter warships often.
Regardless of the fact that France, Italy, and Spain occupy a small part of the northern shore of the Mediterranean, their navies are far from being able to dominate here. Not to mention the aircraft carrier battle group of the world police, even the Russian Black Sea Fleet is not easy to match. The Soviet-made warships that looked silly and thick had the most powerful sea-strike capability other than aircraft carriers, and they were driven by a bunch of woolly bears who drank vodka as boiling water.
After more than 10 hours of sailing, the Dai ship task force entered the Tunis Strait, and it was already four o'clock in the morning, and the sea and sky were still the same, but the Dai ship sounded the battle alarm, and all posts entered a combat state. Li Zhan and others also came to the flight tower to watch Dai Jian's flight preparations.
The task force launched a battle formation, the destroyers Forbin and Cavalier Paul took up an air defense stance, and the two Lafitte-class frigates put on an anti-submarine search posture. It looks shabby, but it's the best that the Gallic Rooster Navy can do at the moment.
Although the Chinese Navy does not yet have aircraft carriers, it is a matter of one sentence to say that it will pull out more than a dozen destroyers to conduct an exercise or something, and there is no need to even deliberately draw them from other fleets.
In fact, the Chinese Navy has never compared itself with the navies of several major European countries, nor with the Russian navy, and even when it is at its worst, it has never compared Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force as its own object of comparison, because the rabbit's goal is to be the strongest at sea......
I don't care to compare with you small countries, I have to have the appearance of a big country, and people are not poor and short-willed, not to mention that now the wallet is getting more and more bulging.
Mo Ren'an instructed Li Zhan beside him in a deep voice, "Ten minutes ago, two things were determined, the first thing is that they are going to conduct a joint exercise with the Mediterranean military police, and the second thing is that they have a live-fire mission this time, Captain Gaston and Monet said that they can fight for us, and let our people also try the Rafale M carrier-based fighter's sea-to-ground attack." ”
The Mediterranean Gendarmerie refers to the U.S. Navy's Sixth Fleet, which is normally deployed to wipe out navies throughout Europe......
Li Zhan said excitedly, "Great, it can be said that it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." ”
"There is no love for no reason, and the French can be said to have put a lot of effort into selling the Rafale fighter." Mo Ren'an said with a smile.
Li Zhan was stunned for a moment, "They should know that we won't purchase Rafale." ”
Shaking his head slightly, Mo Ren'an said, "To be exact, if we want to buy it, they don't dare to sell it." Otherwise, a typhoon is also a good option. Not to mention anything else, Rolls-Royce's EJ200 engine is pretty good. ”
"That's right."
"If the French want to try, maybe they can do it?" Mo Ren'an patted Li Zhan on the shoulder and asked, "Is there a problem with the night flight?" We haven't started the subject of blocking ships at night. ”
Li Zhan smiled innocently and said, "Commander, you know that I have no problem. ”
"Well, all in all, safety first, people's safety first, not at home now, understand?" Mo Ren'an admonished in a deep voice.
Li Zhan nodded heavily, "I understand, please rest assured that the troop commander!" If I encounter a first-class danger or higher, I will eject without 100% certainty! ”
"Well, the idea is right!"
Mo Nay appeared at the right time, greeted Mo Ren'an and greeted Li Zhan, "Li, it's time to prepare." ”
Zhang Xueyang, Cao Fufei, and Tang Leilei came over and told Li Zhan one by one.
Zhang Xueyang said, "Lao Li, safety first, people's safety first." ”
Cao Fufei said, "If you can't do it, it's not a big deal, you've scared them very much." ”
Tang Leilei said, "Brother Yi, if the signs are wrong, pull the ejection ring, anyway, it's not our plane." ”
"Brothers, can't you expect me to be better?" Li Zhan couldn't cry or laugh, "Why do you always think that I am in danger in heaven?" ”
The brother was unmoved, and Tang Leilei even took out a ...... from his pocket A thousand paper cranes? handed it to Li Zhan and said, "First brother, after research and analysis, we have joined forces to fold a thousand paper cranes, all of which are mascots, and you can bring good luck to them with you." ”
"Thank you, brother." Li Zhan was moved, took the thousand paper cranes, looked down, and suddenly all the emotion was gone, but he saw the book "Good luck is coming from No. 037".
"Let's go, Lee." Monet patted Li Zhan's arm.
Li Zhan glanced at the three comrades-in-arms meaningfully, nodded slowly, you wait for me, and then left quickly.
No. 037 J-7EGGH is a fighter that Li Zhan did not fall to his death no matter how he fell, and Li Zhan piloted No. 037 J-7EGGH every time, although the probability of encountering danger is very high, but every time he does not die, this is not super invincible good luck!
As for "good luck", this is a radio call sign to ensure that Li Zhan spent two years safely in Beiku!
Following Monet to the flight briefing room, Monet said to Li Zhan, "We have adopted Mr. Moren'an's suggestion, and your mission code name is Good Luck." ”
Li Zhan: ......
Monet said, "We first conducted a night air defense alert flight, and then moved to the training of searching for sea targets, oh, the Roosevelt is an imaginary enemy target, and our mission is to use airborne radar to search the sea surface to find it." Finally, we went to the live-fire airspace for live-fire firing. Yes, so we will take to the air with sea-attack ammunition and self-defense missiles. You have no problem with how to use weapons and ammunition, right? ”
When I was at the Toulon Military Port Training Base, I had a basic understanding of the various types of weapons, ammunition and other equipment used with the Rafale series fighters, and the main ammunition to be used now was studied in detail.
This is almost the same as going to a 4S store to buy a car for a test drive, oh, add rapid acceleration and braking to the normal test drive.
The aviation department on the aircraft carrier is set up in much the same way as the land airfield, and there should be quite a few departments, and some auxiliary departments have been added according to the special situation on the ship's sea. These departments, all under the control of the aviation commander, are arranged according to the specific conditions on the ship, and simply put, the elements that should be present at a military airfield are reduced and gathered on the aircraft carrier.
After visiting, Li Zhan realized that the difficulty of building an aircraft carrier for aircraft carriers is not only in the visible places such as power plants and special materials, but also in the invisible software system. For example, to make so many departments run in such a small space in an orderly manner, it is not something that can be solved by a few simple data lines, and it is completely beyond the scope of Li Zhan's knowledge when it comes to systems engineering.
In addition to war and life, the daily life of thousands of people, just the guarantee of three meals a day can make any country daunted, and it is really not enough cooks. There are also aircraft repair shops in aircraft carriers, ammunition assembly depots. So the aircraft carrier is not just a ship, but cramps dozens of military departments into a mobile offshore platform. And in addition to this, there are the ship's operators, the ship's weapons department......
It's really a mess.
It's not easy to get each of these threads to function properly according to different instructions.
Changed into a flight suit, received a flight helmet, received a self-defense pistol and ammunition, and carried a flight helmet from the cabin door for flight crew to enter and exit on the ship island to the flight deck, the ground crew wearing colorful vests on the flight deck will make many people feel dizzy, and in a short period of time you don't know what those different color vests represent, and you look at the entire flight deck chaotic various colors of vest personnel running around, in fact, the entire flight preparation work is advancing rapidly under such a chaotic scene.
Li Zhan hadn't been able to get familiar with the relevant departments on the flight deck, but he only needed to remember that the departments and personnel directly related to the pilots were enough to deal with the next flight.
At the parking stand behind the island, four Rafale M carrier-based fighters were ready. Monet pointed to one of the fighters with a chicken head on its tail and said to Li Zhan, "That's your plane!" Remember, you're my wingman! You take off after me! Once you're ready to take off, salute the flyer, the catapult will send you out, and the fighter will automatically accelerate to climb for 7 seconds, leaving you alone in the process! After 7 seconds, everything will be the same as what you manipulated before. You have to set up the autopilot data after boarding, understand? ”
Fool-proof takeoff.
"Yes, totally understood!" Li Zhan agreed very happily.
The M88 engine can reach its maximum thrust in three seconds, and in fact, the pilot can do violent maneuvers directly after the fighter ejects off the deck, and as long as it does not exceed the envelope, there will be no stall. After all, it was the first time, and Monet was worried that Li Zhan would make a mistake, so he asked him to set the autopilot and hand over the take-off to the computer.
Of course, there is only one chance, and Li Zhan will not let the computer dominate his flight.
So he said to Monet, "I still wish I could control the fighter myself, after it is ejected." ”
Monet was silent for a moment and nodded slightly, "Safety first, I hope you haven't forgotten how to use emergency rescue equipment." ”
Li Zhan suddenly felt that this bearded colonel, who was a bit like Jean Leon, was cute, so it turned out that you didn't think the fighter plane weighed too much! Chinese pilots really have to learn this point, and if the fighter is gone, it will be sold, and talent will come first.
"Yes, I totally remember." Li Zhan said with a smile.
Monet's politeness and respect for Li Zhan were seen by everyone, and the obvious change in his attitude before and after made even the commander of the training base feel strange.
After Li Zhan sat in the cockpit, he also stood on the boarding ladder to emphasize a few points to Li Zhan, and confirmed that there was no problem before giving up his position to the mechanic.
In the dark Mediterranean, red, blue, green and yellow lights flashed in different positions on the flight deck of the Dai ship, and the ground crew in charge of transportation waved glowing sticks to direct the fighters to move.
At this time, a Dolphin helicopter first took off and took off, hovering on the outside of the port side at a height slightly higher than the flight deck, this Dolphin helicopter is tasked with emergency rescue, if the fighter fails to eject and take off, the pilot falls overboard, they will rush over and pick people up as soon as possible.
The special nature of the Dai ship was reflected at this time, other people's aircraft carriers took off and the fighters were sailing at full speed against the wind, while the Dai ship stopped completely......
