Chapter 79 Maintenance Competition

More than three million rubles! It was definitely not a small number, but Akim knew that he definitely didn't get that much.

Those equipments were very expensive. For example, some internal parts of the engine were made of silver or even gold. Achim dismantled them and sold them at low prices.

In any case, after hearing what the KGB men said, Akim knew that his fate was sealed and that a Siberian prison was waiting for him. Once he was taken away by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for investigation, there would be no good outcome!

"Uncle, save me!" At this time, Akim didn't care about anything else and shouted to the base commander Kozhedub who had been silent on the stage.

Kozhidub's face twitched. Of course, he heard what his nephew said, but now, what could he say? His nephew was really disappointing! At the beginning, his sister asked him for mercy, and he brought him into the base and made him a maintenance worker. Unfortunately, he didn't study the business, but only thought about these sneaky things! Now it has finally become a big deal!

Don't let it affect me! I can go to Moscow in one more month! Why should I let my nephew drag me down? I should draw a clear line!

"Akim, confess your mistake to the comrades of the Security Committee! If you make a mistake, you must correct it!" Kozhedub said righteously: "Although we are relatives, I will never protect you."

In fact, Kozhedub had already used his connections to plead for mercy, but the matter was suppressed with just one word from above. Chairman Andropov took this incident very seriously!

The chairman of the KGB was paying attention to him, so who would dare to plead for mercy? Kozhedub had no choice but to sacrifice his nephew.

Achim was taken away. Andre would give those maintenance men who were close to Achim a chance if they admitted their mistakes and corrected them. If they continued to be stubborn, Andre would not mind driving them all away!

Those people looked at Andre with awe, and Andre naturally knew why. Almost everyone knew that he was the one who led this matter, and he was destined to be the villain.

"We are a frontline combat unit." Andrei met the gazes of the people below and continued, "In order to defend our Soviets, we are a unit that will enter combat at any time. However, many of our maintenance personnel are not very skilled. Therefore, the regiment has decided to hold a maintenance competition. The one with the highest technical level will be the new chief maintenance officer! The one with the worst technical level, who can make mistakes even in ordinary maintenance support, will not be qualified to stay in the base! All of you pack up and get out!"

As soon as Achim was captured, Andre started to select a new chief maintenance soldier. Even if Achim came back, he would be an ordinary maintenance soldier at most. These tricks are one after another!

In the Soviet Union, soldiers were respected, even the lowest-level maintenance soldiers were respected by society, and one person's income was enough to support a family. If their technical level was too poor, Andrei would make them retire and leave, which was unbearable for everyone.

Break the rigid system and introduce a competitive system! Andre, who came from the future, naturally knew that according to the experience of China, the state-owned enterprises that ate from the same pot had no competitiveness. In the reform and opening up of the future, state-owned enterprises were all wailing, crying out for losses, losses, and demanding state financial subsidies. However, private enterprises, without state subsidies, still made huge profits.

Competition brings vitality! Andre is now going to organize a competition in the base! In the maintenance competition, whoever has the best skills will be the maintenance captain! The one with the worst skills, who can do nothing, will have to leave!

Hearing this, the faces of those old-timers who were just doing maintenance work turned ugly. Andre ignored them. Now was the time to take advantage of this opportunity to clean up the termites! He turned his head and said to Kozhidub behind him, "Commander, what do you think of this proposal?"

Looking at Andrei's smiling face, Kozhedub felt a strong sense of uneasiness for the first time: "Of course." He knew that if he dared to say that all these were under the jurisdiction of him as the commander of the base, then Andrei would definitely have other tricks up his sleeve to deal with him!

There can't be any trouble! If I want to spend the next one or two months in peace, it's time to be transferred out of the base!

Achim, who was standing below, was excited. He was definitely the best in terms of maintenance. It was a great honor for him to be the chief maintenance officer. He would write a letter home to his mother, and she would be proud of him!

Two days later, the maintenance competition officially began!

In fact, aircraft maintenance is just a general term. Maintaining fighter jets is a complicated job, and there are various classifications of aircraft maintenance.

First of all, the care and maintenance of fighter jets are divided into three categories: field maintenance, scheduled inspection squadron and repair shop maintenance.

Among them, field maintenance is the most important maintenance of the base, that is, the maintenance work carried out on the airport runway. Of course, sometimes it is also done in the hangar, which is the same. The main maintenance of the current Sokolovka base is field maintenance.

Field maintenance is divided into several specialties. For example, the person in charge of mechanical specialties is a mechanic. Similarly, there are ordnance divisions, missile divisions, special divisions, and radar divisions. For mechanics, the Soviet Union now implements the "one aircraft, one division" system, that is, one mechanic is responsible for one aircraft. Other service specialties are "one squadron, one division" system, and one maintenance squadron is responsible for maintaining several aircraft in a squadron.

Among them, the mechanic is responsible for the widest range of things, including the aircraft body and engine. He is the first person responsible for the aircraft. Before each flight, the pilot will hand over the equipment to the mechanic, and only with the mechanic's signature can the safety of the aircraft be guaranteed.

The ordnance division is responsible for the machine gun, weapon mounts and fire control systems.

Special engineers include electricians and instrument engineers, who are responsible for the power supply system and instrument system respectively.

The Radar Division is responsible for the fire control radar.

The missile division is responsible for carrying bombs.

To become the chief maintenance officer, the leader of all maintenance personnel, one must be versatile and be able to do everything. One must be careful and meticulous, have a strong sense of responsibility, and have enough strength!

This maintenance competition was organized with the support of Andre. The first item of the inspection made all the maintenance workers frown. The first item was to clean the cockpit! This is not like washing a car. You can just wash it with water or vacuum it. You need to remove the cockpit cover and ejection seat! This is a test of both skills and strength!
