The Air Force at Base 01A is popularly known as the "Concubine Army".

As we all know, whether it is a pilot or a senior mechanic, including ground handling and logistics, whether it is a bird repellent dog or a warehouse cat...

All of them are females.

Of course, there is a big range of ages.

The eldest is a senior mechanic who is also an electronics engineer, and she is 49 years old. Dispatched by the Loma Consortium.

The youngest is a staff member of the logistics warehouse department, only 18 years old, from an orphanage under the Mitsui Foundation... A total of 402 women were dispatched by the Mitsui Foundation.

The average age of Concubine Jijun is 31 years old. After all, pilots, mechanics and other positions require a considerable length of service to be competent.

In the case of Mikiko Mitsui, for example, her flight time is very long. On average, she spends more than 300 hours in the sky every year... Moreover, it has been 10 years since she started flying at the age of 16!

As a result, more female pilots are actually over 28 years old. After all, not everyone has the opportunity to start getting involved with flying machines at the age of 18.

Not everyone can fly in a year ... More than 200 hours...

(National combat-ready pilots must fly 200 hours per year.) ）

However, here are two other facts, the fact that Base 01A is familiar with but is always misunderstood.

First of all, the so-called concubine army of base 01A is actually called the air force only in the combat department.

That is to say, most of the logistics departments actually belong to the major enterprises in the original time and space. For the convenience of accessories, maintenance, and change processing, these companies are equivalent to directly sending a customer service department...

That means that maintenance is actually equivalent to going directly to the 4S shop!

Another question is the main composition of the concubine army...

Except, with the exception of a very small number of professional pilots... In fact, the existing pilots, even towers, ground crews, etc., are at a semi-military and semi-civilian level.

Take pilots as an example:

A large number of female pilots are in fact amateur civil aviation pilots, or multi-national flying enthusiasts!

Before they came to the new plane, most of them were employed by various handrails and airlines as flight experience personnel. So it's easy to organize.

For example, a small propeller trainer that has flown only ... They are pushed by many civil aviation companies (consortiums) in European countries.

Therefore, these women's soldiers want to complete the practical operation of military aircraft through military training, which is quite time-consuming...

At present, the more than 10,000 people in this concubine army seem to be of considerable scale.

But...

The problem was already visible in a few days of practical, military-level operations.

After all, it is possible to fly jet bombs, military transport aircraft, attack aircraft ... There are a total of 417 people (not including professional cabin crews)! Among them, female pilots sent by the Jewish consortium accounted for 30%.

If the composition of a shift or a single crew exceeds the number of professional pilots... That... It's not just about grinding!

Therefore, the most expensive job in the 01A base now is to train pilots and technicians. In case there is a project where you don't have that much time...

Then, the problems will follow...

Among the first planes to be delivered, two C-5s were gifted by the U.S. oil family. On the first day of the test flight, they both lay on their stomachs... When the maintenance is completed, whether you can fly or not, this needs to depend on the time.

There are also the likes of the P-38, Lancaster, Phantom, F14· F15· F16, Phantom, Cub TC2 and other models...

At present, there are at least 3 or 4 aviation accidents that occur in the safety area around Base 01A every week...

Anyway~

A total of 29 aircraft crashed in less than three months.

And that's not even counting the planes that were scrapped before they flew...

Fortunately, there are no serious injuries or deaths recorded...

After all, the slogan of the concubine army is: Saving your life is important!

Preference when necessary... Abandon the plane and escape.

Even if it's not necessary, if the coach feels unsafe, then the two of them will parachute early and escape... The future addition of the airplane Shenma is it.

At present, for the personnel of the Concubine Army, there are still many fatal shortcomings.

I won't go into details here.

…

It's just that, in addition to the lack of pilots and training, the plane itself is also very troublesome!

First, older aircraft (third-generation aircraft, third-generation and a half-generation) are facing problems such as production line shutdown and no follow-up parts.

Of course, this can wait two years...

The most terrible thing is that the source of military aircraft depends entirely on "chaebol donations".

For example, the 40 "multinational models" Warthogs, as well as 56 C-141s, 9 B-52Gs, etc., were all donated by the chaebol...

When Sanleng Heavy Industries delivered F1, it was pointed out that these old antiques were actually originally private collections or museum displays...

To put it bluntly, it's for exhibitions!

At the moment, there are completely self-purchased "fighters", only a large number of equipped V22s (118 units) ... and a small number of multi-purpose aircraft of the People's Reform Army, such as the 747, 737, 707, etc.

And although the V22 is self-purchased, this V22 is completely super...

Low profile!

To put it mildly, there is not even a coating on the skin and no advanced electronics built-in. Even the safety equipment in the rear cabin was slowly installed after the crossing.

In comparison, 3 B1 Lancers, 4 C-130s, and 8 C-17s, which are completely "illegally smuggled" models, are like the treasures of Zhenshan for the Concubine Army!

…

But then again.

In addition to these "famous brands", in fact, the daily work of the Air Force relies on propeller monoplanes a lot.

To put it bluntly, it is still a small civil aircraft.

For example, routine reconnaissance, "air shows" under normal circumstances, and so on, often a "pesticide" plane is enough to do it.

At present, the concubine army has more than 400 propeller monoplanes and civilian helicopters of various types. If it is not "necessary", military aircraft are only responsible for training and teaching.

…

However, for Tang Songyuan, he doesn't care much about the above content.

Because in his opinion, even a "private mustang" that can fly is enough to have a deterrent effect. Whoever makes the new plane fly is a "god"!

Therefore, he did not support the "scale of the Air Force" in the first place...

First, it burns too much money;

Second, you don't need it!

But at that time, the old men and old ladies of the "Future Committee" had to add icing on the cake and expand the strength of the Air Force...

Not only that, but they also specifically targeted Tang Songyuan's "lack of understanding of the Air Force" and allocated a large-scale "Aviation Technology Department" to the 01A base. Nominally, the minister is Mikiko.

Fortunately, these old elves also took the initiative to bear all the "air force" funds of the 01A base. Otherwise, this business really can't be done!

Hundreds of military aircraft are generally not affordable for small countries!

What's more, the "startup" of 01A!?

WELL~

Speaking of returning to this rescue, actually...

Even if you don't use military aircraft...

It can still be done.

It's just that the time will be longer, which means that the cost will increase slightly.

…

On the surface, with the presence of the Concubine Army, the security around Base 01A is very guaranteed. But the problem is, if you want to be leaky, you have to do it without dead ends, right!?

Here I have to say that the shortcomings of investigation always exist!

Everyone knows that no matter whether it is the Concubine Army or the Army, even the Yacht Army is equipped with unmanned reconnaissance aircraft... But the problem is that the 01A base doesn't have a large... Signal transmitting base station!

Besides, in addition to a few "human" satellites weighing less than 1KG, there are no other artificial satellites in the new space-time.

Therefore, the transmission of radio signals even in the absence of interference...

It is also impossible to spread very far!

Therefore, the range of application of drones is often no more than 28km.

Even with a signaling device, it is difficult to exceed 40km...
