Chapter 448: Contradictions intensify

The Osprey 2 did not seem to be doing very well, and although the results of the instrument self-check showed that there was no problem with the aircraft, once the engine was activated, everyone in the aircraft could hear an unusual sound from its rotating wings. Therefore, even though the BB63 was moored only a few kilometers away from the sea and had a tarmac where the Osprey-class transport aircraft could be docked, the traversers still did not dare to risk letting the Osprey 2 fly to the BB63.

On the day of the rescue, the Provisional Executive Committee sent one of the three "veterans" of the ground crew to Yantai, and then sent several additional rough embryos with rich experience in mechanics to support the maintenance team, but these people's attempts to rely on the maintenance manual of the V-22 "Osprey" transport plane to get the "Osprey II" to work were ultimately defeated.

In fact, some of the technologies used on the V-22 Osprey transport aircraft can be called the highest level of the mechanical industry of mankind at the beginning of the XXI century. As a tiltrotor that can take off and land vertically, all the power of the V-22 "Osprey" transport aircraft needs to act on the entire fuselage through the connection position of the engine compartment to the wing, but unlike other fixed-wing aircraft, the engine compartment and the entire wing of the V22 "Osprey" can be rotated, so this type of aircraft cannot be connected with a rigid connection with high strength such as integral molding welding. Because the rotation mechanism of the engine compartment of the V-22 "Osprey", that is, the bearings and propeller shafts, have to bear huge external forces that exceed its take-off weight, and even when the V-22 "Osprey" performs certain flight maneuvers, these parts are subjected to external forces several times its take-off weight.

Therefore, it is not easy for these parts to be made like this by Eagle Sauce, and only these few parts show Eagle Sauce's high attainments in traditional industrial fields such as materials and machining. Of course, such a design and manufacturing process can also bring pressure to the ground handle.

Similarly, once you go out in the wild, it is very difficult for you to get it back to flying by repairing it on the spot. Regardless of whether the Eagle Sauce ground crew in the 21st century can do this, anyway, these existing machine repair ground crews will obviously not be able to do this job.

"Haven't you fixed it yet?" Zhao Yi asked Hao Dajian.

"Don't you need to ask!? It's a miracle that our people can provide maintenance for helicopters in these two years, and you still expect them to build helicopters? These are two different machines, okay! Hao Dajian said that helicopters and helicopters are two different types of "creatures", although they are one word apart.

"What then? You can't blow up 'Osprey II' like Eagle Sauce dropped 'Osprey' in Yemen, right? Lu Xiangyang asked.

"That can't be, when did we get to this point of being rich? We can't fix it, but we can tear it down! I don't dare to say whether it will be repaired well in the future, but we can at least store some spare parts for the 'Osprey One' when it is disassembled and shipped back. My suggestion is to send the equipment over to dismantle the Osprey 2 and transport it back to the green paint area. Hao Dajian said.

Hao Dajian put forward this plan is really helpless, if the "Mistral" class amphibious assault ship L9013 ship in this nearby waters, through the Zhongda can not disassemble the "Osprey II", its LCAC air cushion landing craft can also be equipped with the "Osprey II" can be transported to the dock compartment of the L9013 ship.

However, there is no large pier near the beach where the "Osprey II" was stranded, and it is really not easy to safely transport this 15-ton empty aircraft to a traditional ship.

"Then dismantle it, and send the equipment over Yantai quickly." Zhao Yi thought about it, and it seemed that this was the only way to be more reliable.

"Then will the Bohai Haikou continue to be blocked?" Lu Xiangyang asked.

"Sealed, if you don't seal it, let foreigners come and watch us dismantle the plane!?" Zhao Yi said.

From the time BB63 left the Lushun anchorage to participate in the rescue operation in Yantai, the crossing public has been implementing a blockade of the sea area between Yantai and Dalian Bay in the Bohai Sea, so as to prevent spies from the foreign powers from arriving to observe the entire rescue operation.

In fact, the blockade was carried out by the Beiyang torpedo boats that had been parked in Dalian Bay and had taken refuge in the crossing. Although the firepower of these small boats, which are only a few hundred tons, is not very good, once the unicorn flag is hoisted, they still have a great deterrent effect on passing ships. The white people all know that the ship and the person who drove the boat have not changed, but the change of a unicorn flag means that these torpedo boats represent the Royal Navy of the Great Song Empire, and the result of provoking them is the same as those Dutch warships blocking the "Zhenyuan" in the South China Sea.

"Sir, I didn't expect us to have today, look at those foreigners' ships, and turn around directly when they see our flags. As soon as the braid is cut and the unicorn flag is hung, we will all become uncles, where did those foreigners put us in the eyes in the past! The first mate of a torpedo boat on patrol said to the captain.

"Now it's different from the past, the Great Song Dynasty is orthodox in China, where is the Manchu Qing Dynasty incomparable. Don't say that it is blocking the mouth of the Bohai Sea in your own house, as the ranking chief said, blocking the Tokyo Bay is also an easy task of carrying a pot and pouring tea. The torpedo boat captain straightened his back and said.

Don't say it, this is really not a cross to the crowd, Huang Po sells melons and boasts, and it is precisely because he is worried that his large dock will be hit by the Royal Navy of the Great Song Dynasty, so he gritted his teeth and insisted on not giving up Weihaiwei to John Niu, and said that he would not hand over Weihaiwei until the end of the negotiations between the British and Song Dynasty and there was a formal written agreement, so they pushed back their gold owner's father.

And after Dou Nale asked Huang Xiaolei about leasing Weihaiwei, he was directly rejected by Miss Litigant. What are you kidding, we have long said that the territorial issue is not within the scope of discussion, and the territory leased by the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the past is a problem left over from history, and we can slowly negotiate and resolve it, but if we want to lease the territory of China again, there is no need to talk about it.

Closing the negotiation window on the issue of Weihaiwei's lease and insisting on landing in Yantai were all acts of the Great Song people who frantically expanded their influence in the Far East in disregard of British warnings.

"Now the situation is already obvious, the Great Song people in the South Pacific provoked a dispute with the Dutch in the South Pacific region solely to divert our attention, and after the main force of our Far East Fleet has moved south, they will take the opportunity to land at Yantai to prepare for the control of Weihai Weijun Port. I believe that the Far East Fleet of the Imperial Navy must return to the Far Eastern Seas and put pressure on the growing Royal Song Navy, otherwise the balance of power in this region will be upset by the Great Song people, and soon they will be the dominant power here, which is not in line with our usual foreign strategy. The above is an excerpt from a telegram sent by Dou Nale to the British House.

"The Great Song people's bluffing fleet in the South Pacific is nothing to fear, and although they are supported by a large supply ship (the L9013), according to reliable intelligence, this fleet has only three warships that can be used for combat, and none of them are large in tonnage, which is simply not enough to pose a threat to our colonies in the South Pacific." In the telegram, Dou Nale described the 38th Task Force.

Since all the AV-8B Sea Harrier attack aircraft on the Mistral-class amphibious assault ships were lowered into the hangar located below deck, the L9013 ship, which did not even have naval guns, was regarded as a harmless "supply ship" by John Niu's spies. In the minds of the senior admirals of the John Bull Navy, it was reasonable for the Great Song people to send large supply ships to the fleet when they did not have a colony in the South China Sea where they could dock large warships, and the large warships without naval guns must be the ships that came to supply the fleet.
