Chapter 251: Preparing for War

Nassau, Harbor Ship Repair Yard.

Santos, who rules the area, was staring at the sparkling slipway, and he managed to gather more than a hundred ship repairers, who had been busy repairing the damaged frigate turret and deck for the past few days.

"Hey, father, guess what I did today?" A tall, thin young man ran over excitedly and hugged Santos gently.

Seeing the young man, Santos, who had a solemn face, immediately smiled, and said happily: "I have heard that you found two enemy ships, destroyed the enemy's airfield, and knocked out one of their reconnaissance planes. Quino, you're my best boy. ”

Listening to his father's praise, the young Quino scratched his head embarrassedly, "It's actually an ordinary Xenas airliner, and it won't be difficult to shoot him down." It's a pity that we don't have more and more advanced aircraft, otherwise we could compete for domination of the skies of the entire Caribbean. ”

"There will be such a day." Santos patted his son on the shoulder, "The Aurora came in time, I really didn't expect it to appear in front of me, and it didn't run away yet." I'm sure I'll get my hands on that boat, and we, father and son, will be able to defeat the other rivals and become the most powerful force in the Caribbean." ”

The words of the father and son were full of vigorous passion, but Zhou Qingfeng, who had just been rescued, had a gloomy face. There are two HH-60H rescue helicopters on board the Aurora, and these two helicopters are not usually mobilized due to their high fuel consumption. Today, I received the rescue information that Zhou Qingfeng fell into the water, and they all ran out.

Fortunately, the water in the Caribbean is warm, and Zhou Qingfeng is not afraid of freezing to death due to low temperatures. After soaking in the sea water for more than half an hour, he was rescued into a helicopter. And in the cabin, the butcher holding the machine gun said to him with a smile: "What does it feel like to be beaten down from the sky?" ”

"At least it's better than taking a nuclear bomb." Zhou Qingfeng took the towel handed by his subordinates, wiped the seawater on his face, and said: "It seems that our enemy not only has warships, but also equipped small planes with machine guns. ”

The butcher smiled bitterly again: "The plane that attacked you also attacked Mars's airfield before shooting you down, destroying two small planes and killing one of us. And he also found two of our ships, which we were so negligent that we thought were our own planes and didn't shoot them down with individual anti-aircraft missiles. ”

"That means the enemy could launch an attack on us at any time with speedboats?"

"Yes, although we have moved, we cannot prepare for the next reconnaissance operation of the enemy."

"I really hate the feeling of being beaten passively, and it looks like we're going to have to get some counter-attacking power."

When Zhou Qingfeng returned to the 'Aurora', he immediately gathered everyone to discuss how to deal with this group of pesky pirates. "This general Santos is not strong, but we are weaker comparatively. We have to have some ability in naval and air combat, otherwise we will be killed. ”

It's just that everyone is a layman in naval and air battles, and when a bunch of people looked at each other, a voice sounded, "Actually, it's easy to solve this problem, it depends on whether you are willing to take risks?" ”

Zhou Qingfeng saw that it was Dr. Lei Zuo who was arrested with him when he got the 'dog meat'. This high-level intellectual, who has both mechanical and electronic disciplines, has been doing logistics for 'dog meat', which is really a waste of talent.

"Tell me about it." Zhou Qingfeng asked.

"We can get a big speedboat and a tank up there."

"Tanks ......, when will we have tanks?" Zhou Qingfeng asked strangely, "I remember that we didn't have tanks." ”

At this time, the butcher said 'uh-huh' twice, scratched his head and said, "Actually, there is one." I saw that there was still room for the 'Bird of Paradise', so I ordered the logistics to load an M1A3 'Abrams' on it. ”

"You can drive an M1A3?" Zhou Qingfeng stared at the butcher.

The skeptical question made the butcher exclaim, "Hey, more than twenty days after coming out of New York, Minsk and I have been trying to learn to drive this tank." The M1A3 uses an automatic loader and does not require a loader. If it is mounted on the deck of a ship, the driver can also be spared, so that only the commander and gunner are needed. ”

After the butcher finished speaking, he hugged Minsk tightly, and there was a posture of 'brothers working together, and their profits are gold', "Just control the turret and fire the cannon, things are much simpler." ”

Zhou Qingfeng asked again: "Can you two big guys be stuffed into the tank?" ”

This is a difficult problem, the butcher and Minsk are both high-minded. The butcher said bitterly, "It's okay to squeeze it." ”

"But you opened fire on the undulating ship, and if you were killed, you would shoot at a target of five kilometers, and you would not be able to hit accurately. But the enemy's naval guns can easily fight fifteen kilometers. Zhou Qingfeng still felt that this matter was unreliable.

"The M1A3 is armed with laser-guided projectiles, and as long as it enters a range of five kilometers, it is almost certain to hit. As for the question of range, perhaps it can be solved with some tactical solutions. "The butcher still thinks it's worth a try." The key is that the ship is undulating, and the laser irradiator of the guided artillery shell needs to be carried by the drone to stabilize, which needs to prevent the enemy's broken aircraft from knocking down our drone. ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Qingfeng again, and he immediately shouted: "Hey, what are you looking at me for?" I've just been shot down from the sky, and you still want me to fly an unarmed plane into the sky to be a target? And you don't have the right ship to carry that tank weighing seventy tons. ”

"It just so happens that we have a ship." Lena. "Some Miami Americans fled to Grand Abaco Island today to join us, and they drove a large U.S. Coast Guard patrol boat with plenty of room on the foredeck to hold a tank," Fox said. Just fill it with oil and it will be able to run. ”

The last to make up for it was Katarina, who laughed and said, "Victor, the two of us can fly to the sky together." I'm afraid it's too late to modify the machine gun, but I can fly the plane, and you take some individual anti-aircraft missiles into the sky, how about it? ”

Zhou Qingfeng instantly imagined that the humber was flying in the sky with a plane, and he was wearing goggles in the cabin behind him, carrying a 'stinger'. This picture is too scary, I dare not think about it!

"Are you good at flying?" Zhou Qingfeng still felt very apprehensive. He's bold enough, but sometimes she's just playing with her life!

Caterina looked at Zhou Qingfeng with disdain, "Victor, you underestimate the ability of an English lady too much. I was trained in the military by my father since I was a child, and I was able to handle everything from ****** to propeller planes. Much better than you rookie. ”

With the cooperation of many parties, Zhou Qingfeng had nothing to say. Especially now that we want to get mixed up in the Caribbean, we have to seize a good port. The Port of Mars is too small, and the Port of Nassau, with its ship repair yard and deep-water docks, is the right choice.

As a result, under this-for-tat contradiction, a preparatory activity is being carried out intensively. However, Zhou Qingfeng sighed after the war: "The level of this battle is really low. (To be continued.) )
