Chapter 831: Underground Air Force Base
In the uninhabited Gobi, the tall walls, the barbed wire that occasionally flickered with arcs, and the defensive circle lined with sentries, five kilometers away from here, are all filled with military bases and slogans saying that approaching is strictly prohibited.
Patrols can often be seen around this huge base, although there are no so-called idlers here, and even fewer people will come to this place deep in the desert.
Strict protection also prevents anyone who wants to approach here, and even the sky, no plane can approach.
The strict radar system on the ground protects the place. Once an aircraft approaches, it will be expelled. Even American fighter planes will be asked to leave.
This is the third air base of the Red Police Corps in Iraq, and it is also an air base that has never been made public.
Although this military base can be seen in many countries, after all, the photos taken by satellites are very clear, but all the satellite photos have not seen any aircraft appearing here.
Although the United States suspects that this is the test flight base of the Future Technology Group, based on the cooperation and basic trust between the two parties, the Americans did not get to the bottom of it.
In the eyes of the outside world, apart from being a little mysterious, this base has no special features. So far, satellites have not photographed any signs of fighter jet activities in this base.
Some planes that took off are only staying here temporarily and will leave soon.
It's just that what the outside world doesn't know is that in this secret air force base, a large number of underground hangars are full of brand new Black Hawk fighters.
On the surface of the hangar, there are no fighter jets inside, and the elevator with a layout similar to an aircraft carrier is connected to each hangar and take-off line.
In the underground hangar, every Black Hawk fighter plane will stay on the elevator at all times. Some fighter jets even have various weapons and ammunition hanging all the time. Once there is an emergency need, all fighter planes can quickly rise to the ground through the elevator and appear directly on the ground. In the take-off area, it only takes thirty seconds for the fighter plane to take off.
This is the most professional air force base of the Red Police Corps. One such base has two hundred free-moving elevators.
It is like the most famous smart parking garage in Germany, where every fighter jet can go directly to each hangar on any elevator, and can also go directly to the take-off line.
All the ground crew are in this underground hangar, as are the fuel depots and weapon depots. Above the head is a reinforced concrete structure hundreds of meters high, which can resist all conventional missiles and various penetrating bombs in the world. .
In order to maintain the lifespan and combat effectiveness of fighter jets as much as possible, the underground hangar is also a place with constant temperature and humidity, ensuring that all fighter jets are in the best combat condition.
The underground hangar is still the living area of all ground crews and fighter divisions. Although it is difficult to see the sun at ordinary times, you will definitely not feel any discomfort here.
The ultraviolet rays from the guideline, the fresh air, and some underground flowers and plants will soon make the people inside forget that they are actually a hundred meters underground.
And in order to ensure that the entire air force base can still have the ability to quickly take off and land fighter jets after undergoing various attacks, there are two stealthy runways under the lawns on both sides of the base runway. The lawn above is just a layer of camouflage. Can extend away from the sides to reveal the runway inside.
When the air force base was hit by an air strike, hitting the toy fighter models in the hangar on the surface, and destroying all the shells, it was also possible to ensure that the fighter jets below had a place to take off and land.
Cai Ruichen spent 3 million to build this air force base, in order to ensure the survival of the main force of the air force once the air force is attacked in Iraq, a country that does not have any defense in depth.
And has the ability to counterattack directly.
The only people who know the secrets here are the members of the Red Police Corps, and the outside world can only see the air force base on the surface, and cannot damage the fighter planes and personnel inside.
In order to win the next war, Cai Ruichen has also carefully prepared a lot. The base has many fully functional building units. Some building units also have multiple construction modes. Some modes are combined to form a good underground base.
This air force base is not a combination, but a future high-tech airport. It is possible to choose to build such a layout, but it is more expensive.
The current Cai Ruichen is not always waiting to get rid of poverty. The daily recovery of 10 million funds is enough for him to build many high-priced construction models.
Although such an air force base is only built for this one, Cai Ruichen has already started planning to build such an air force base in key areas of Iraq to meet the needs of the Red Police Air Force.
However, even the Red Police Corps needs some time to adapt to operating fighter jets at such an airport.
Because the two hundred lifts can still move freely, it is a very precise and complicated process, and the operator must be very skilled, otherwise it is very likely to cause accidents.
And so far, there are only twenty-four Black Hawk fighter jets in this air force base, occupying a very small part of the hangar.
However, the personnel inside are very complete, and the ground crew and base operation control personnel to meet the needs of 200 fighter jets are all in place.
High-intensity training is going on here every day, maintaining fighter jets and operating elevators are all necessary daily training.
Those fighter pilots are not idle either. There are 500 sets of virtual reality training equipment in the air force base, where they can experience the most realistic air combat environment.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner, and the training here every day has been very hard.
However, all training work has stopped today, and the perimeter security of the entire air force base has also been raised to the highest level.
Outside the base, Cai Ruichen's convoy slowly arrived and entered the No. 3 Air Force Base.
Cai Ruichen, who got out of the car, did not stop. Accompanied by Air Force Commander General Wei Guo, he came to the underground hangar immediately.
Take the special elevator down, at a depth of 100 meters, the elevator stopped in just a few breaths.
The moment the elevator door opened, one could see a huge underground hangar at a glance. There was a neat row of Black Hawk fighters in front of him, and on both sides were more than 2,000 staff members and 400 pilots lined up neatly.
