For a country like the Soviet Union, which is full of alcoholics, if the ban on alcohol is implemented throughout the country, then the alcoholics of the whole country will definitely rise up and demonstrate, and if alcohol is not banned, then those drunkards who are drunk during the work period will seriously affect the production efficiency, so after Andropov came to power, according to Andrei's suggestion, a simple method was adopted to completely solve this problem. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

That is, alcohol is not sold in the morning and at noon, only in the evening, and if there is a merchant who does not obey this law, then wait to enter the small black house of the police station. And for alcoholics, the first thing they do when they have alcohol on hand is to drink it all, so don't worry about them buying alcohol and waiting until the next day to drink it, they will definitely drink it all on the first night.

In this way, during the day, the drunkards could not buy alcohol, so they had to go to work honestly. A simple measure has played a very good effect, and now the factories have begun to deepen the reform, no longer eat the big pot of rice, do a good job and do a bad job, to assess everyone, survival of the fittest, too poor performance, then can only be unemployed, under the stimulation of many aspects, the work order of the factory, has also been greatly improved.

At the same time, this rule has also reached the top level, like now, in the Mikoyan Design Bureau, alcohol is absolutely not served in the morning and at noon, just last year, in the canteen of the Bolshoi Theater, the rules were secretly violated, and as a result, the top leaders of the Bolshoi Theater were directly eliminated.

And Andrei and others came to inspect, they could not violate the system, they had to pay for their own expenses, eat working meals, all kinds of extravagance and waste left over from the Brezhnev period, all kinds of bad extravagance and extravagance, were fiercely stopped.

After eating, at Andrei's suggestion, the inspection of the equipment of the Air Force was finally concluded, and the more important Navy was inspected.

The Soviet Union was a traditional army power, and the strength of the army made the whole of Europe tremble, but the naval strength was not good, and now, realizing the weakness of the navy, the Soviet Red Navy, which had gone through many detours, finally began to move in the right direction!

Andrei came to inspect with him, in addition to Defense Minister Ustinov, there was also Marshal Gorshkov, who was also the pillar of the Red Navy.

Sergei Georggievich Gorshkov, since the date of his appointment as commander-in-chief of the Soviet Navy by Khrushchev in 56, has experienced the era of Khrushchev, Brezhnev, and Andropov, and has always been conscientious in his post, in the Khrushchev era, he advocated the omnipotence of missiles, advocated nuclear submarines, and Gorshkov attacked from the side, in the name of protecting submarines, he made a Moskva-class aircraft carrier, and then, in the Brezhnev era, he made a heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser with the determination to have an aircraft carrier, Always the same.

It was only now that Gorshkov felt that his ideal had finally been realized, and that the Soviet Red Navy, from a "yellow water navy" regarded as an auxiliary force of the army, was about to develop into a global maritime force that could compete head-on with the US Navy on the world's oceans! The confrontation in the Arabian Sea showed the great strength of the Red Navy!

All this is inseparable from aircraft carriers! The Soviet aircraft carriers, finally getting rid of deformed developments, are on the fast track!

This is the beginning of 81, and Gorshkov goes to the Black Sea shipyard almost two or three times a year. Every time, it's incredibly exciting.

The New Year did not dampen the enthusiasm of the workers, and the Black Sea shipyard remained busy.

Before the special plane of Andrei and others landed, from the air, Andrei saw the huge aircraft carrier moored on the pier, and now, the construction has been completed and sea trials are underway!

"That's the third ship, the Novorossiysk." Gorshkov said: "The use of glide jump take-off, now it is still equipped with the MiG-23K, waiting for the completion of the new fighter modification, will be equipped with the latest fighters, at the same time, our carrier-based early warning aircraft, has also completed the development, is in the finalization test flight stage." ”

Carrier-based AWACS! For aircraft carriers, in the vast sea, if there is no early warning aircraft, it is easy to be attacked by enemy aircraft flying at ultra-low altitudes, the last battle in the Arabian Sea, because there are no carrier-based early warning aircraft, so the Soviet aircraft carrier formation, had to send vigilant warships to the farther sea, and at the same time ensure the safety of the aircraft carrier formation by taking off fighters to cruise, however, this is obviously not the final plan.

"Our current carrier-based AWACS?" Andrei asked, "What models are there?" ”

"There are two models, the An-71 early warning aircraft of the Antonov Design Bureau, which uses the An-72 twin-engine short-range take-off and landing transport aircraft as the fuselage and the radar is installed in the tail, and the other is the Yak-44 of the Yakolev Design Bureau, the fuselage is newly designed, and the appearance is similar to the American E-2 Hawkeye." Gorshkov said.

Andrei closed his eyes, as if thinking about the construction of two types of early warning aircraft, historically, the An-71 was introduced more, but this kind of aircraft with a jet engine and a unique structure of a single wing, with a large plate on the top of the tail, is not suitable for loading on the aircraft carrier, and ultra-high is the biggest problem, so the earliest exclusion of the Soviet Navy is this plan, and the Yak-44 is the AWACS aircraft that the Soviet Navy needs, and it is precisely because it was selected as a carrier-based AWACS aircraft that the Yak-44 project has not been leaked and is rarely presented in front of future generations.

It's a pity that none of these aircraft were finalized in the end, because the Soviet Union collapsed, and the navy of the Red Empire was left with only the Ka-31 AWACS aircraft transformed from helicopters, which played a better role than nothing.

And now, with Andrey's crossing, these projects have made great progress than before, the development of aircraft carriers of the Red Navy, the supporting systems must also be perfected, and with the progress of electronic technology, the technical problems faced by this AWACS aircraft will also be solved.

"Our aircraft carrier formations cannot lack AWACS aircraft, which is related to the safety of the sea formations, by the way, at the Black Sea shipyard, are there these AWACS aircraft?" Andrei asked.

Gorshkov shook his head: "These are all finalized test flights, and the take-off and landing flights of simulated carrier-based aircraft are currently being carried out in Ukraine, which have not yet been brought to the Black Sea shipyard, and it is expected that it will take another year or two before they can enter service, and we are now preparing to choose a suitable one from the two AWACS aircraft." ”

At this moment, there was a vibration in the airframe, and it had landed!

"Let's go, let's take a look." Andrei was interested. In addition to the third ship of the Kiev class that was tested at sea, the new aircraft carrier under construction is also what Andrey is most concerned about! (To be continued.) )
