"Qin Fei, I didn't hear it wrong, did I?"
The old fish said, "We have a total of three I-8 hippopotamus helicopters, are you sure this thing can be planted on the boat and take off?"
Unless you get us a helicopter carrier, even destroyers can't do it. ”"Old fish, you can put a hundred hearts."
Qin Fei didn't blink his eyelids, and said with great certainty: "Victor will handle this matter."
You don't need destroyers and helicopter carriers to take off and land I-8 helicopters, and don't forget, a large enough merchant ship can.There are no fighter jets in Comolo, only 4 SA316 "Skylark" multi-purpose helicopters, according to intelligence, because the air defense has always been handed over to the Mirage 2000 in the French military base, so these SA316 Skylark helicopters are hung with AS11 type ground missiles, which cannot pose a threat to air targets. ”"Merchant ships?"
The polar bear couldn't help but say: "The I-8 is very large, and ordinary merchant ships need a large load to bear it." ”"A simple aircraft carrier converted from a 10,000-ton cargo ship, do you think it's okay?"
Qin Fei showed a mysterious smile on his face, "In addition, on the deck of the improvised aircraft carrier, we will also install 6 ZPU-4 quadruple anti-aircraft machine guns for anti-air defense and sea defense, plus I-8 Hippo will add hangers, two of which are equipped with AA-11 "Archer" air-to-air missiles, and one is equipped with 9K114 ground-to-ground anti-tank missiles, so that the safety will at least be guaranteed to a great extent.
The Barracuda's armed transport ships will cooperate with the I-8 with ground-to-ground missiles flying to attack the opposing light patrol boats so that they cannot get close to our improvised carriers. ”"Aircraft carrier?"
The polar bear's eyes widened, "Boss, you're not joking internationally or are you?"
Although it is feasible for a merchant ship to be converted into an improvised aircraft carrier, where can we find it?
Even if you buy an old ship and refit it now, it won't take time at all. ”"What if it's ready-made?"
Qin Fei's face once again showed a mysterious expression."
Ready-made?"
The polar bear was stunned.Everyone was dumbfounded again.It's actually from the county seat?"
During World War II, many countries did requisition merchant ships to convert improvised aircraft carriers, and I have heard of this."
The old fish tilted his head and kept scratching his head: "What are you referring to?"
Those old goods are estimated to have been unloaded into scrap metal in the shipyard now, even if there are still a few of them, can that thing still be used?
Not to mention planting a large helicopter like a hippopotamus, if you drive two laps around the sea by yourself, it is estimated that you will sink!
”Qin Fei said: "Old fish, don't focus on World War II, haven't there been any major naval battles in the past 30 years?"
”The old fish froze."
You don't know ......," the polar bear suddenly paused, "referring to the Battle of the Falklands?"
”"Yes, it seems that our former GRU officers are still knowledgeable."
Qin Fei smiled: "In 1982, the Sunset Empire fought a relatively large-scale naval battle with a certain country in South America, at that time, because the Sunset Empire only had two light aircraft carriers, the carrying capacity was simply not enough to support their expedition and landing operations, so their Ministry of Defense came up with a way. ”Qin Fei clicked the mouse, and a bird's-eye view of a large merchant ship appeared on the LCD screen behind him.It's just that the ship looks a little strange, the deck is bare, there is nothing."
This is a large merchant ship called the Atlantic Transporter, with a displacement of 150,000 tons, which was requisitioned by the Imperial Military at that time, and the deck was converted to transport Harrier fighters and helicopters to accompany the ocean-going fleet.At that time, this modification proved to be useful, and it transported 14 Harrier fighters and more than 10 helicopters of various types for the expeditionary force on which the sun never sets. ”"It's a pity that the military believes that this kind of ship is not a military ship and can only sail with the fleet, so it is not equipped with military equipment and armed systems.On May 25 of that year, several super military flag fighters of the Argentine military discovered the Imperial Navy formation on the sea, and launched the 'Harpoon' missile at the 'Invincible' light aircraft carrier, which had the highest target value in the fleet at that time.
Atlantic Transporter', as a result, the improvised aircraft carrier was hit by a Harpoon missile and sank to the bottom of the sea. ”"Boss!
You salvaged it!?
”Kunchai exclaimed in surprise."
Holy-" Qin Fei suddenly had black lines on his head, "Lao Tzu is not an archaeologist, and he doesn't have the heart to go to South America to salvage that broken ship!"
”Everyone laughed, feeling that Kunchai really didn't have much military knowledge.An improvised aircraft carrier has been sunk at the bottom of the sea for decades, and it has long been scrap metal when it is fished up.Kunchai's idiot question made the tense atmosphere in the entire briefing room suddenly lighten."
Okay, okay, stop laughing."
Qin Fei glanced at Kunchai: "It's okay, you can read more books, don't go to Zunnie's bar to pick up girls whenever you have time, it won't do you any good." ”Kunchai's face was flushed all over the place, and he almost didn't find a crack to get into the ground."
Let's get down to business, I didn't go to salvage the Atlantic Transporter, but the Sun Never Sets Empire not only modified one ship, but two, and the other one had a smaller displacement, only 10,000 tons, so the Atlantic Transporter was modified first, and the other ship was just refitted, and the Atlantic Transporter had an accident, which also proved that this kind of ship had no protection against anti-ship missiles, so it was temporarily stopped, and it didn't take long for the Falklands War to be won, and this ship called the 'Blue Ocean' was also mothballed.""
You mean, the Blue Ocean is now in your hands?"
Old Fish asked.Qin Fei said: "It has not arrived for the time being, the ship is now parked in a shipbreaking yard in Spain to be dismantled, but it has been stopped, Victor sent someone from his Spanish office to drive the ship to the sea near Tyle, it is estimated that it can be reached here in five days, and then they will equip the ship with ZPU-4 quadruple anti-aircraft weapons, it is estimated that it can be done within a day." ”There was silence in the room.Everyone knew that it seemed that Qin Fei was not idle in the past few days, but was making all the detailed preparations in the room.Qin Fei slid the mouse again and clicked on the satellite picture of Marlow Island."
Chen Yong, now I'll give you a task, I have a topographical picture of Gary's drug processing center on Malo Island, did your relatives help Victor repair the hangar and final assembly center and airport at our base recently?""
That's right."
Chen Yong replied immediately."
It seems good, your uncle will be blessed if he doesn't die, and repairing the airport for Victor is a big project."
Qin Fei said: "Can you tell him something, send some people to find a few houses in our urban combat training center that are similar to the buildings in the pictures and about the same area, and then rebuild the interior with ordinary adobe bricks to make a similar internal structure?"
”"I don't have much experience in construction, but if it is simply remodeled, it should be okay, it is only a matter of time."
Chen Yong said, "Boss, how much time does my uncle have?
”"One day, one day tomorrow."
Qin Fei walked up to Chen Yong and handed the building structure diagram to Chen Yong, "You will go to your uncle immediately after a while, we will start field practice the day after tomorrow, we don't need craftsmanship, we just need to be about similar, we just practice moving and familiarizing ourselves with the terrain." ”"Okay, leave it to me, I'll go with them at night, if you can, you can work overtime overnight.""
Good!"
Qin Fei returned to the front of the screen, "Brothers, it's time to discuss the battle plan......
