Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

Charlie is a pilot of the Royal Air Force of England. After the disaster struck, he and his flying regiment were transferred to an air force base in the south of France because of England's strategy of abandoning the mainland to ensure the survival of the people. .

There is also a French flying regiment stationed with them, which makes this air force base, which is not too big, seem a bit crowded and cramped.

But this is only temporary. When the invasion of alien creatures began, the two flying regiments stationed here and their aircraft were quickly exhausted.

A flying regiment usually has about 24 fighter jets, 50-80 pilots, different numbers of reserve pilots and about 200 ground staff.

In the mode of modern warfare, the two flying regiments are quite a powerful combat force, but in the face of overwhelming alien creatures and harsh weather conditions, these two flying regiments and the fighter jets they equip cannot exert their strength. Not to mention the role it should have, the wear and tear is also quite fast.

This also led to the fact that one month after the war with alien creatures, in the air force base where Charlie was located, only half of the two flight regiments added up to about 200 pilots, and more than 50 fighter jets were lost. The next seven or eight planes escaped with damaged engines or missing parts for repairs.

Not only that, but the ground crew also suffered a certain loss. Although the loss was not large, it still made the morale of the entire air force base quite low.

Although the statement of first-class air force, second-class navy, and third-class army is just a joke, it can indeed reflect the difference between the three from the side. After all, air force pilots are all very expensive, and the navy is also a high-tech arm. , only the army is very ordinary.

Especially for the English, the Army is the only unit in the English Armed Forces that does not have a royal title.

In the past, Charlie was very proud of being an elite RAF pilot.

But now, the army, which they have always looked down upon, is fighting desperately on the front line, withstood the attack of alien creatures, but they, the air force, can only squat in the air force base. The morale of the pilots was low.

A large number of aircraft losses not only made them unable to play, but also made them idle now. After all, the morale is so low now, and with the loss of aircraft, everyone has no intention of training. Most of them just gather in the dormitory every day to play cards and Fight and pass the boring time.

If it weren't for the current shortage of supplies, even pilots like them would have difficulty buying alcohol. Charlie believed that there must be a lot of drunks in the base.

Charlie himself is quite self-disciplined, perhaps as a result of being strictly demanded by his father since he was a child. Charlie still more or less retains the temperament and self-discipline of the British gentlemen back then, and he has not fallen like other teammates.

But even so, Charlie felt that there was only so much he could do. After all, the entire base was like this now, and there was nothing he could do.

Even the officers at the base didn't bother to restrain these pilots, and even the daily training became indulgent.

This made Charlie, who still insisted on exercising his physical fitness as much as possible every day and maintaining his own state, feel very helpless.

Feeling helpless, he ordered a lunch in the cafeteria, and then Charlie sat at a table and ate his own lunch.

Due to the shortage of supplies and the need to supply them to the frontlines first, the base, which had a relatively secure supply of supplies, has gradually fallen into a state of shortage. The lunch has dropped from the original bread, sausage and vegetables to almost only potatoes and carrots. s level.

Even a large part of these potatoes and carrots were grown by the base itself after it emptied out an underground hangar that no longer had planes, and then built a greenhouse by itself.

Charlie didn't think he had anything to complain about. He could only have enough food if he could fight a war. Now that there were no planes, pilots like them were useless, and it was nothing to be paid poorly.

It’s just that after accepting his fate like this, Charlie still feels a little reconciled. He very much hopes that the higher ups can get a new plane, and he can also drive the plane back to the battlefield to fight those alien monsters, so that he feels that he has nothing to do. Waste of life.

In fact, Charlie is already making a report and has applied to be transferred to the front line. Even if he is only operating machine guns in the trenches, Charlie thinks it is better than lying in the base and doing nothing.

But obviously, Charlie's superiors don't want to send precious pilots to waste in the trenches ahead. Even if they have nothing to do now and there is no new plane for them, they are still valuable pilots and cannot be wasted like this.

While Charlie was eating potatoes and thinking about how to persuade his superiors to transfer him to the front line, a pilot with a French logo rushed towards him and shouted: "Hey! Charlie! Okay! News! We have a new plane!"

"New plane? What new plane?" Charlie still didn't understand the situation, so he hurriedly grabbed the French pilot and asked him, "Renault, tell me clearly, what's going on?"

Renault, who was held by Charlie, was very emotional, and he danced to Charlie to vent his emotions: "New fighter! Charlie! New fighters have been brought up! 20 Sea Harriers and 18 Phantom F1s that were sealed up during the Cold War! We There is a plane! You can fly again!"

This French pilot, Renault, is a friend Charlie met after he came to this base. He is usually very enthusiastic. Obviously, it is very exciting for him to have a plane to fly again.

However, Charlie was not only surprised, but also puzzled and puzzled. He asked Renault: "Sea Harrier and Phantom F1? Aircraft from the Cold War? Where did they find these old antiques? And these old antiques Has it been out of production for many years? Are there still repair parts?"

These Cold War aircraft are all outdated third-generation aircraft. Compared with the current mainstream fourth-generation aircraft, and even the fifth-generation aircraft that Yanguo, Lucia, and the Federation have begun to serve, they are undoubtedly backward and will be eliminated.

But this does not mean that these aircraft cannot be used. After all, they were also the main models of the year. Many aircraft that were in service at the end of the Cold War have only been sealed for more than 20 years, and they are still enough to fight alien creatures.

Even in a sense, these third-generation machines are better than the fourth-generation machines for fighting alien creatures.
