Chapter 444: The Remaining Four
When the last AV-8B "Sea Harrier" attack plane of the "Warship Bird" attack group was steadily docked on the deck of the "Mistral"-class amphibious assault ship L9013, which had been magically modified by the "director team", Lu Xiaobei and the others could finally breathe a sigh of relief. The Red-headed Gull attack team still has five Harpoon air-to-ship missiles that can be used, and Hu Zixiao and his men can slowly find out why the three diesel generators failed at the same time.
"I'm rubbing, the wind of the 'director team' is getting more and more difficult to figure out, this amphibious assault ship has been sent?" Hao Dajian really can't see what the "director team" is going to do this time.
"Don't you say it, there is an amphibious assault ship, this 38th task force has the appearance of a task force, it turns out that there is not even a ship of more than 10,000 tons, so what kind of task force is it?" Chopper said.
"Hehe, I just want to ask about the six more AV-6B 'Sea Harrier' attack aircraft, how does the ground crew of the air strike team plan to provide maintenance for them?" Da Chen Yongqing asked.
As a VTOL fighter with the longest service time, the AV-8B has not only short legs, fuel consumption, low bomb load, and difficult operation, but also its maintenance is definitely a nightmare for ground crew.
The Pegasus MK104 thrust steerable turbofan engine of the "Sea Harrier" has high environmental requirements when running at full load, and once sand and other debris are sucked into the running engine, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Moreover, this kind of fighter that relies on engine nozzle steering to achieve vertical take-off and landing requires frequent maintenance, and its ground maintenance time is generally longer than that of other fighters that take off and land by taxiing on the runway.
"Ground handle? In addition to the maintenance of the Mi-24 'Hind' and the UH-60 'Black Hawk', our ground crew can only repair the runway or something, Tu-160 and AV-8B, you don't have to count on them, even the AC-130U Tonima relies on its own crew to learn to do maintenance while reading the manual. In a word, the logistics of the Air Force is that there is no logistics! Hao Dajian said.
In fact, there has never been a major accident such as a crash due to mechanical failure, not because the ground crew is capable, but because the rough embryos have chosen to stop using the aircraft that lack maintenance!
"I heard that the destroyer and frigate of the 38th task force are also equipped with anti-submarine helicopters, and now the helicopters given to us by the 'director team' are obviously overflowing, we don't have so many pilots and not so many maintenance personnel!" Lu Xiangyang said.
"Helicopters and vertical take-off and landing fighters will be given if they are given, and we can't afford to use them for the time being, at most we can build a hangar and seal them. I just want to ask if there are so many warships coming, why don't we even have a large dock, what are we going to do with these ships? Zhao Yi said.
"Yes, although the waterline paint of these modern ships contains poisons that inhibit the reproduction of plankton, it is not a solution to run in the water for a long time without a dry dock, and once it is overgrown with barnacles, the speed of the warship will be greatly reduced." Da Chen Yongqing said.
Although both Hans and Eagle Sauce saw the plight of the Great Song people in the Far East, they were willing to provide the corresponding equipment and technicians for the construction of "large" dry docks. But this "large" is to be put in quotation marks, in this era there is no ship of more than 40,000 tons even the ship-building madman John Bull, what equipment and technology can you expect Hans and Eagle Sauce to provide you with the same equipment and technology as a "large" dry dock?
If the "director team" does not provide the corresponding technology and personnel, it is basically a fool's dream for the traversal to provide maintenance for BB63. It has been nearly two years since the first batch of personnel were teleported to the Liaodong Peninsula, and the traversal led by Zhao Yi has been trying to get rid of the dependence on the "director team" in terms of materials, but the "director team" has been responding to all changes with the same change, and has been firmly grasping the trend of this reality show by constantly sending and sending.
In order to gain more manpower, the traversers must fight with the indigenous forces! In order to obtain oil, the traversers must fight with the indigenous forces! If you want to wait and see the situation, the "director team" will directly send people and ships to the periphery of people's fleets, and you can't even admit it.
"So far, all the rules we know about the 'director team' to transmit materials and personnel are invalid, and finally we no longer have to worry about where is our actual control area, Yadu directly sent the L9013 ship directly to Cam Ranh Bay, and I really don't know what moths will be waiting for us in the future." Lu Xiangyang said.
"I think there is another rule that always works, high welfare means high risk, I'm afraid we can't get rid of this." Former micro-film director Feng Yunyi said.
"Yes, our strategy of shrinking the defense zone is obviously no longer available, and I think it is necessary for us to have a rapid reaction force to deal with this new style of the 'director team'." Zhao Yi said.
"Agreed, this time the 'director team' sent us a 'Mistral' class amphibious assault ship to give us is a good signal. In the future, I am afraid that this kind of thing of scattering people and equipment all over the world will be the norm, and we must have corresponding countermeasures. Tian Buzi said.
"Hey, don't go that far, there are still four people who have been teleported over and are in a state of disconnection! Don't talk about these big policies and strategies, it's the key to find out people! Han Mei said.
For the sake of these four crossers who have not yet shown up, all the personnel on the L9013 ship are in a state of first-level combat readiness, and the AV-8B attack planes of the two "Warship Birds" attack group have refueled the deck of the L9013 ship and then lifted off to continue patrolling and search and rescue missions in the nearby waters.
The "Sea Harriers" of the "Frigate Birds" attack group all have auxiliary fuel tanks, and their search radius is larger than that of the "Sea Harriers" of the "Red-headed Gull" attack group. But it was already getting dark, and none of the stations in the South Pacific had received any radio signals from the four travelers.
"Could it be that these four people weren't teleported to the South Pacific? It is said that the 'director team' of the convulsions has broken all previous conventions. Yang Guang said with a smile on the radio.
"Do your best, you all know that you have a convulsion, how can you guess where they are teleporting, Lao Tzu didn't even have a 30mm machine gun, and he wasn't directly pressed into Maozi's face? Anything is possible. Beard said with a smile.
"This is Osprey One, call all combat units in the green paint area, please answer if you receive it." Finally, at about half past eight in the evening of the day of the transmission, the traversers received a radio signal from the four traversers who had been in a state of disconnection.
"This is the Green Paint Zone Command Center, and Osprey One explains your situation." Ma Xiaoyi has been waiting in front of the radio for more than 12 hours.
"Our GPS navigation is failing, we can't figure out where we are, and we're running out of fuel." Osprey 1 opened its mouth and brought bad news that made people want to kneel.
