Chapter 801 The Aircraft Carrier... Finally Arrived!

Bitter winds still persist, but the effects of nuclear winter have been greatly diminished. The "Kennedy" nuclear-powered aircraft carrier trapped near Guantanamo, Cuba, was finally able to get out.

When Zhou Qingfeng pitted the "Enclave" earlier, he brought more than ten professional rescue ships and a rescue team of more than 3,000 people from the Newport News Shipyard. This group of people is excited to rescue America's most powerful weapon of war from its predicament.

But when Zhou Qingfeng received these precious personnel and ships, the nuclear bomb attack came soon. A nuclear winter hits the world, and rescue a ship in minus ten or twenty degrees or even thirty degrees? Let's save yourself first!

But now more than half a year has passed, and the temperature has finally jumped to zero. Although the weather was still very cold, Zhou Qingfeng couldn't wait any longer. This 100,000-ton aircraft carrier must be towed out, and he is in a hurry to use it!

Contrary to the situation in front of David Lawrence, Zhou Qingfeng has no shortage of crude oil, but he is short of refined oil, and the production capacity of the Havana refinery is too poor. Small boats can't handle it, but he has a lot of big ones in his hand, and it's easier to use nuclear power.

Moreover, more than 3,000 engineers and technicians were brought in from Newport News. These people are high-end talents in building and designing aircraft carriers. Although these people can't be used to fight, but picking and picking can barely make up a team to start the aircraft carrier.

It is a great victory to be able to start the "Kennedy"!

According to technical inspections, after the "Kennedy" aircraft carrier rushed into the fjord, the hull was not damaged, the hull was distorted but not very serious, and the interior of the cabin was impacted to a certain extent, but it did not affect low-intensity use.

The engineers tried every means to build a cofferdam at the exit of the fjord, and first drained the water in the cofferdam to form a dry dock, so that the aircraft carrier could be repaired conveniently. After the repairs are completed, the cofferdam will be dug up, and the aircraft carrier will float by itself when the tide is high, and then return to the sea naturally.

In order to guarantee this operation, Zhou Qingfeng cleared out a large amount of aviation kerosene and diesel hoarded by the refinery, and mobilized a large number of construction machinery, ships and helicopters.

Fortunately, the earth was hit by a nuclear bomb, but it would not affect the moon, nor would it affect the tides. When the tide came, a tugboat with several thousand horsepower began to slowly drag the 100,000-ton aircraft carrier in the fjord with an order from the on-site commander, and the big ship finally returned to the sea.

"Your Excellency, Legion Commander, in just three months, this aircraft carrier can complete its preliminary repairs and join the Legion's sea power. But if you want to make good use of it, it's best to undergo a two-year overhaul. You can use this time for training Navy personnel."

The commander-in-chief of this tugboat operation was Feynor East who had gone to Great Abaco Island to ask Zhou Qingfeng for help. The old man was very happy to finally tow the aircraft carrier out, and he was also very confident in the future of the aircraft carrier.

"Mr. East, I will award you a medal and reward the entire engineering team that rescued the aircraft carrier. Your work is really irreplaceable." But Zhou Qingfeng changed his tone after finishing speaking, "But I can't wait for three months , let alone wait two years, I want this aircraft carrier to join the battle now."

"Ah..., how is this possible?" Feynor East shook his head again and again, "Your Excellency, Legion Commander, your request is not in line with science. Three months of repairs are already too short, you want it now Just join the fight, it's impossible."

"Impossible is possible, I really can't wait. Just two days ago, an offshore fleet of David Lawrence blocked the outlet of the Potomac River in Washington,

And in the name of fighting bandits, shelling destroyed one of our transfer terminals in the city.

And now we only have dozens of hundred-ton patrol boats in our hands, and we don't have any warships to fight against them. But if we don't react, maybe the enemy will come to Havana.

I have blocked the news now, and the city of Havana is still calm. But you know now that radio is easy, I'm not sure what's going to happen next? No matter what, I know that I must curb David Lawrence's crazy behavior, otherwise there may be chaos within the legion. "

Hearing that David Lawrence had used warships for shelling, Feynor East also realized that the situation was very serious, but he still reminded: "Your Excellency, if you want to use the aircraft carrier, it is no problem, we can still organize manpower start it.

But the aircraft carrier itself has no combat effectiveness, it all depends on the carrier-based aircraft it carries. The 'Kennedy' is full of the most advanced fighters, such as the powerful f-35c stealth fighter.

However, it takes a large number of professional pilots and ground crews to fly a carrier-based aircraft into the sky and land safely, and even if you are not careful, you will not be able to land. It is not easy to activate the ejection device and arresting wire alone. "

Yes, Zhou Qingfeng is very clear about the difficulty of this. He had just seen the news in the real world that Mao Xiong's "Admiral Kuznetsov" participated in actual combat for the first time, and as a result, there was black smoke all the way, and two planes fell into the sea in a row.

The weakness of Mao Xiong's army is evident from this, and now the whole world is laughing at them. This is still a regular navy, Zhou Qingfeng, an amateur of amateurs, and a parallel importer of parallel imports, would certainly have ruined all the good things. So what...

"I'm not going to fly an f-35c. I can't handle that. I can't even find a qualified pilot and I can't supply fuel. So I'm going to get some simple planes to fly."

"A simple plane?" Feynor East was very suspicious, "What kind of simple plane do you want?"

"A plane that can take off without ejection and land without arresting wires. I will use this aircraft carrier as a sea airport, so the difficulty will be much less. As long as David Lawrence realizes that I am not It’s easy to bully, so we can slowly adjust this aircraft carrier.”

Zhou Qingfeng's thought was quite beautiful, but Fei Nuo East still didn't quite agree with his point of view, "Don't eject and don't use arresting wires, so you can only use propeller aircraft."

"Yes, the propeller will be fine."

"But does this kind of aircraft still exist now? Our air force's small sports aircraft and light transport aircraft meet the requirements. At that time, they couldn't fight at all! If they go to the sky, they will be shot down like turkeys."

"Well, let me think of a way, I think I can still solve it." Zhou Qingfeng could only look up at the sky, rubbed the back of his head and said: "Maybe, maybe, it seems, I can solve it from other places." Get some fighters that fit the bill.

We're not asking too much anyway, right? As long as it can take off and land, and fly hundreds of kilometers to go out and fire a few shots, throwing bombs and so on is enough. It would be better if it can throw torpedoes and so on. Such a low requirement should not be difficult. "

Seeing the uncertainty on the face of his boss, Feynor East was even more worried, thinking to himself: What kind of plane can this army commander get? Don't play too much with him! (To be continued.)
