Chapter 429 Louis is also a person with a cat
At this point, everyone in this small team (Ethan:???) has set their sights on the F14 Tomcat fighter. All they have to do is wait for the opportunity.
They didn't wait too long. In the middle of the night, Major Mitchell held up his horn and said that they were planning a counterattack, but lacked enough pilots to start recruiting ordinary people with flight experience to join the battle.
The first thing to respond was to Russell, the super alcoholic who created classic film history scenes at the critical moment of the film's decisive battle and will be paid tribute to countless film and television animation works in the future.
This former fighter pilot, who claimed that he had been kidnapped by aliens but no one believed him, was dizzy at this time and expressed his willingness to participate in this human counterattack against aliens.
I'm afraid no one expected that this guy who makes people speechless has become the key to victory or defeat?
Louis and others stood aside. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with them, but Jill suddenly said: "This person's highest moment may not appear, but this may be a good thing for him and his family?"
Kara and Ethan next to him both turned their heads and looked at Jill. Kara asked her questions directly: "Why didn't it appear?
That shot is so classic, even if Jill didn't say it clearly, Kara still knew what she was referring to.
"Because of a habit of destroying the plot, the guy who likes to show off will definitely take away the key hit..."
Before Jill could finish his words, everyone's eyes focused on Louis?
"What do you think of me? I am such a low-key person..."
Everyone turned back speechlessly, and even Rey showed a speechless expression.
Even the two people present, even those who had just met for a while, did not think Louis was a low-key person. How could he be low-key? From what he did before, we can tell that this person didn’t know what low-key meant.
The military is still counting people who know how to fly the plane. Louis and the others did not wait until no one responded and made a brilliant debut, but instead mingled with most people and signed up.
Because time was tight, when I saw no one responded to the recruitment, the recruitment work ended in such a hurry and immediately entered the next stage.
He brought the registered civil pilots to the hangar, and Major Mitchell and several soldiers were responsible for giving simple explanations to these ordinary people.
Now these pilots are not required to become elite pilots or even qualified fighter pilots immediately. All they have to do is tell these people how to drive the F18 smoothly into the sky and how to correctly use various weapons and equipment on the fighter.
Before the explanation was officially started, Major Mitchell hoped that these people would first talk about their flight experience, so that he could make the most basic judgment based on the experience of these people. The first person he chose was still the Russell.
Russell was drinking espresso and was unexpectedly, he was the first to tell himself about his flight experience: "Me?"
Seeing the officer opposite, Russell nodded, and introduced himself simply: "Russell Case, after the end of the Vietnam War, he has been doing air spraying, and now..."
Russell was once a fighter pilot and a pilot with practical experience. This background setting can also explain why, in a chaotic aerial battlefield, he, an alcoholic, could survive to the end - an ordinary inexperienced pilot was killed in the melee, and even if he wanted to sacrifice himself to create a classic picture, he would not have the chance.
However, Russell then talked about his "grudges" with aliens, which attracted him a speechless look.
Major Mitchell did not continue to pay attention to Russell. Perhaps in his eyes, this is a drunkard with paranoia. Even if such a person successfully drives the fighter plane into the sky, it may be difficult to really help.
He could only pin his hopes on real elite pilots, and it would be nice if these temporary recruits could attract some firepower.
"Next..." Major Mitchell pointed to Louis not far away. He might think that he had chosen someone who was not very reliable, so he decided to choose someone who looked like an elite.
In fact, there were only about twenty people who were recruited this time. Among these people, Louis and Bruce were very eye-catching, and it was not strange that Major Mitchell noticed it.
"Louis Hunter, a former Navy pilot, served on the Enterprise."
A very short introduction, but Major Mitchell was very excited. He didn't expect that he could find a former naval pilot with just a random finger. This was a really surprising surprise.
"You used to serve on the Enterprise?"
"Yes, Major."
"So you have flew the F18?" Major Mitchell thought Louis was serving on the USS Enterprise, the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, which was equipped with the carrier-based aircraft of the Enterprise, the F14 Tomcat and the F18 Hornet.
"I have a small request, hoping to drive a tomcat."
"It's no problem." Major Mitchell didn't care whether Louis drove the F18 or F14, as long as it was a fighter.
However, Louis had a small problem in wanting to fly the F14, that is, the F14 is a two-seater fighter, and the front is the driver's rear seat is the radar officer. This is because the radar system of the F14 is relatively complicated and if it is left to the pilot to operate, it will be very cumbersome and troublesome. This is enough to determine life and death in the blink of an eye, and a special radar officer needs to share part of the work.
"I need some time to find a qualified backseat partner for you."
Louis pointed to Rey next to him: "She can be my radar officer."
Major Mitchell looked at Rey and was not confused about the girl's identity. Since the other party was even ready for the radar officer, he naturally had no reason to disagree. Anyway, there were enough vacant fighter jets in the base.
He then asked others, and Bruce and Kara also asked to drive the F14 one after another, and both brought their own radar officers: Ethan and Jill.
Major Mitchell understood that these people who were required to drive the F14 should know each other. If it weren't for the aliens who were going to deal with now, he would even doubt whether these people were in groups to steal the F14 fighter jet (the truth is it!).
It is precisely because we are dealing with aliens that we don’t need to be wary of the earthlings. Even if we really have any doubts in our hearts, we have to wait until the war is over before we resolve them. At present, humans no longer care about those trivial matters.
After everyone talked about their flight experience, except for Louis and his group, everyone would honestly teach F18 operation knowledge by those arranged by Major Mitchell.
As for Louis and others who were asked to drive F14, they followed Major Mitchell to another hangar, where the F14 Tomcat fighter plane was parked.
"These are all F-14Ds, and they have just been maintained and can be put into use at any time." Major Mitchell transferred information about these fighter jets and briefly introduced the situation to Louis and others.
Louis began to look around one of the Tomcat fighters. There was no paint on the F14 and was not affiliated with any famous squadron. The whole aircraft looked very new and had not taken many flights. Maybe it was stored in this base? Or was it for the test? Comparison of data with alien fighters?
Louis thought for a few seconds and threw these questions aside, not thinking about why there was a navy heavy carrier-based aircraft in this base - or had he decided to give up upgrading and improvement and could be eliminated at any time, maybe there were cat parties in the base? He just wanted to get a few collections...
There are not many such people. After F14 is completely retired from the Navy in the future, many people will secretly collect F14. Even if the Navy has clearly required all F14 to be dismantled and destroyed parts, some people still secretly stole the parts that should have been destroyed, and then reassembled the fighter planes outside.
Louis looked back at Major Mitchell, who was standing there looking at him, which made him unable to try to put the fighter into his mount space. It seemed that he could only drive this unenhanced Tomcat fighter jet to participate in the battle first.
At this time, Bruce and Kara had already looked at the fighter jets they had chosen. Next, they would board the fighter jets for the final detection before takeoff, and then wait for the attack order.
After seeing these people not making any requests, Major Mitchell went to work on other things. The next work will be handed over to the ground staff of the hangar, and they will help Louis and others complete all the preparations before takeoff.
Before boarding the plane, Louis and Bruce communicated again and learned something from Bruce: as long as they touched it, they could lock the fighter plane as their mount.
Currently, the mount space they have can only lock one mount. If you need to lock a new mount, the original lock must be unlocked.
"I also tested it a little. Even if I didn't put it into the mount space, I could also strengthen the fighter jets, but strengthening requires a lot of material to consume."
According to Bruce's explanation, for example, if they want to replace the Tomcat fighter with a new and stronger engine, either you have the physical objects of the new engine at hand, or you have complete engine drawings, and the materials needed to be made of this engine can be improved.
"And the strengthening process also takes some time. The strengthening time takes longer than using the physical objects directly."
"So troublesome?" Louis originally felt a little unhappy that he could not strengthen immediately, but now he found that even if he could strengthen immediately, it would be difficult to collect reinforcement materials for a while. This battle would definitely drive the most ordinary fighter plane to the battlefield.
Of course, even if you drive the most ordinary F14 Tomcat fighter, Louis is confident that those aliens can't even hurt the side of their own fighter.
When the ground staff finished preparing all the fuel and ammunition, Louis was already sitting in the cockpit of the fighter plane, and Rey sat in the back seat as his radar officer.
As for Bruce and Kara, they will serve as their wingmen, with Ethan and Jill serving as radar officers for both of them.
