    Keller Hof also did not expect that the first thing he did after taking office was to be responsible for modifying and training a group of Mi-24 'Hind' ground crew and pilots.  When he saw two old helicopters at the newly built airstrip, he was even a little helpless.  The Russian gangsters were obviously trying to fool Zhou Qingfeng. The two Mi-24s they sent were completely old goods from the warehouse and were almost scrapped.  The exterior is mottled and rusty, the interior is messy, and it looks like garbage at first glance.  But Antonina Makarova said that the two planes can still fly.  "Are you sure?" After seeing the two helicopters, Zhou Qingfeng's first thought was to go back and settle the score with the Russians.  "Of course I am sure. In order to get these two helicopters for you, I personally went to Vladivostok and even flew on these two helicopters for a while. Don't underestimate the strength of Russian weapons. These two helicopters are also  It just looks a bit worse, how about I take you up there for a spin?" Antonina Makarova said with confidence, which actually frightened Zhou Qingfeng.  "Can you fly a Mi-24?" "Of course, when I was in Afghanistan, I often drove a Mi-24 with my Afghan secret police to search for jihadists." "You haven't touched it for at least thirty years.  It¡¯s time to arrive at Mi-24.¡± ¡°I feel like my past training and memory have been restored.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯m willing to give it a try.¡± Zhou Qingfeng was also timid. After asking the ground crew to fill up the fuel, Antonina  Makarova got into the driver's seat and he got into the shooting position.  The Mi-24 is an old aircraft that was in service in the 1970s. The cockpit was full of various flight instruments. Zhou Qingfeng was dazzled by looking at it. He had no choice but to press the intercom on the flight helmet and ask Antonina Makarova, "I  "What should I do?" "You don't have to do anything!" As she spoke, Antonina Makarova started the engine, and the rotor of the 'Hind' began to rotate. After a while, Zhou Qingfeng felt the plane was turning.  The rear part was lifted first, and then the entire helicopter was lifted off the ground.  "Oh, wait, what are you doing? I'm not ready yet!" Zhou Qingfeng didn't even fasten the safety buckle on the seat.  Lao Maozi's roughness really does not distinguish between men and women. Before the 'Hind' could fly smoothly, Antonina Makarova pulled up the nose of the aircraft and climbed up at an almost vertical angle. Zhou Qingfeng's position was at the very end of the helicopter.  Ahead, I felt like I was riding on a violent beast, watching the sky getting closer and closer to me.  "Makarova, damn you! Stop right now and let me get off." Zhou Qingfeng did not expect that the first time he sat on the 'Hind', he would experience it in an extreme way.  "Yes, sir, we will dive immediately." Antonina Makarova must have done it on purpose, on purpose, on purpose.  Zhou Qingfeng had just experienced a high-speed climb, and the next step was a rapid dive.  With a deafening sound, the engine roared and rushed Zhou Qingfeng towards the ground.  "Ah!" Zhou Qingfeng could only watch in horror as the earth continued to enlarge and get closer, as if a wall was about to be hit, but he did not dare to force Antonina Ma under such extreme conditions.  Karova stopped, fearing that it would affect her operation and cause the machine to crash.  Antonina Makarova performed nearly vertical climbs, rapid sideslips and rolls. These extreme moves were repeated by Antonina Makarova. Finally, when the 'Hind' landed smoothly, Zhou Qingfeng felt that he had never loved the earth so much.  "How's it going? How's the performance of the helicopter I picked?" After landing, Antonina Makarova stepped forward and patted Zhou Qingfeng's shoulder. She looked at Zhou Qingfeng's sloppy steps and was quite gloating about his misfortune.  Zhou Qingfeng turned around and said fiercely: "Since your level is so good, then I will give you one more job. You can also participate in the training of ground crew and pilots. Don't you want to form an action team of the intelligence department? These two aircraft  The helicopter is under your command." Antonina Makarova took off her flying helmet and saluted Zhou Qingfeng neatly: "I obey your order, Comrade Commander, but can I recruit some people?  " "What kind of manpower? " "My old team, the one in charge of time and space, such as Irina Ivannikova, she was recruited by me. I saw that she actually knew you, and there were some professional ground staff.  Personnel. These guys in the wasteland only deserve to work hard. I don¡¯t dare to let them do other things.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, it¡¯s not possible at the moment. The team quota is limited. What we need is real professionals.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not like Juche.  "What about the infrastructure team? A completely enclosed hangar where the ground crew cannot leave and can only touch the things we let them touch."There is a way, Zhou Qingfeng nodded in agreement: "I agree in principle, but you must first build a qualified closed hangar. I hope it is an underground hangar to prevent anyone from getting lost." "Then expand the No. 7 Shelter  'How about? Dig a space on the first or second floor. " "Okay, submit the plan to Meng Hui for approval. I can give you the authority to go back to the space-time gate, but I will only give you about ten days.  The engineering design can be handed over to Jin Yuji of the Infrastructure Corps for review. After all, those Koreans are specialized in the construction of underground fortresses. " "It will be as you wish, my Comrade Commander," Antonina Makarova saluted again.  .  Zhou Qingfeng once again looked at the 'Hind' parked on the apron with great trepidation. He hoped that these two armed helicopters could enable the Armed Sisters to survive the current vacuum of force.  In fact, there are not only two Mi-24 'Hinds' at the airstrip, but also the 'Birds' provided by the Brotherhood of Steel, as well as the 'Yun-5' and 'Jiaojiao-6' transported by air from the main time. Catherine and  After the two of them left Zhou Qingfeng's position as a guard, they began to form their own air force as flight instructors for the Armed Sisters.  Due to the cooperation with the Brotherhood of Steel, there are many relevant staff and training instructors sent to the airport.  Now Catherine is being trained to drive the Bird, while Jill is teaching the Brotherhood of Steel how to drive the Lucky Five and the First Instructor Six.  The soldiers of the Brotherhood of Steel really like the "Yun-5" to death. It can be deployed at a field airport. It is durable and easy to maintain. For the rough wastelanders, it is more practical than the "Flying Bird".  The Brotherhood of Steel has decided to increase the number of purchases and form multiple light transport groups to expand its sphere of influence.  Since the Armed Sisters currently have limited territory, the amount of air transportation is not large, but they are eager to expand their air defense capabilities.  The key to the defense force is early warning. However, the early warning capability of the Armed Sisters relies entirely on drones to monitor the ground situation at all times. Aerial early warning relies on several civil aviation radars, but the work efficiency has not been high.  Zhou Qingfeng and others were really troubled by this. The territory was large, there were many things to do, and the shortage of personnel was really serious. They were thinking about whether to ask the Brotherhood of Steel to support a group of technicians to train and control the radar, but finally gave up.  Because there is almost no radar equipment in the wasteland, everyone's way of dealing with air raids is to build important facilities and bases underground. If the Armed Sisters say they have radar, I'm afraid the Brotherhood of Steel will also want it, and they won't be able to give it to them at the right time.  It's all trouble.  In the end, we had no choice but to strengthen our air force. However, after Catherine, who was in training, flew the "Bird", she immediately made a lot of complaints.  "Can you imagine? For such a big helicopter, no one has thought of installing a radar on it!" Catherine has become accustomed to looking at problems from the perspective of time and space, and feels intolerable for the shortcomings of the 'flying bird'.  "If improved, the potential of this helicopter is very huge." After reading the test flight report given by Catherine, Zhou Qingfeng was also very interested in improving this aircraft.  But if you want to fully upgrade an aircraft, this is far beyond the technical capabilities of the Armed Sisters. Even if it is transported back to the main time and space, it cannot be completed by just finding a factory, and it will take a long time.  But Anna Chapman gave a very bold idea - don't think about fire control and radar, the technical requirements are too high, you might as well simply strengthen its firepower and armor.  Regarding this suggestion, the first thing Zhou Qingfeng thought of was the very famous 'Stuka' during World War II. The Germans once installed a 37 mm caliber aircraft cannon on the JU-87, and even wanted to install a 57 mm caliber aircraft gun.  , that thing is like a 'can opener' when used against tanks.  Or maybe it¡¯s a gunship like the AC130, equipped with a 105mm caliber howitzer, which is really powerful for ground attack.  With the "Bird"'s huge fuselage and strong body, it shouldn't be a problem to install a medium-caliber artillery. Moreover, the troop transport compartment can be removed to save space and weight, which can be used to strengthen armor protection, plus some simple fire control and  With automated equipment, the combat effectiveness of the 'Bird' will increase linearly.  Under this design idea, a helicopter variant named ¡®Cannon Bird¡¯ was pulled out for modification verification.  The entire plan was implemented by the intelligent computer on board the Bruno 171. After the troop transport compartment of the "Cannon Bird" was removed, a hemispherical steel turret was installed. The equipped artillery was a  When Antonina Makarova returned to the main space-time ground team, she also brought several old Soviet MT-12 100mm anti-tank guns along with thousands of rounds of shells.  The entire modification was actually completed by this capable Lao Maozi ground service team.    Most of the accessories of the anti-tank gun were removed to reduce the weight, and it was hung upside down in the hemispherical turret. The entire retraction machine was stuffed into the turret. When it was finally completed, the muzzle could rotate 360 ??degrees.  The shooting angle ranges from seven to sixty degrees, and it can basically aim at targets within five thousand meters for hovering shooting.  The barrel diameter of the MT-12 is extremely long, reaching sixty-three, with a total length of ten meters. The power of the shells is also huge enough. Basically, according to the standards of the wasteland, no matter whether the target is an aircraft or an armored vehicle, as long as it is hit, then  Just dead.  It produces huge recoil when launched, which only a heavy-duty helicopter like the Bird can withstand.  The only flaw is that due to the lack of automatic equipment, when it is really used, a five-man gun squad has to work on the 'Cannon Bird'. Although simple auxiliary loading equipment is installed, it is semi-manual operation and lacks radar.  and advanced fire control, so it is basically powerless against fast targets.  However, after seeing the power of this cannon, Milani and others always believed that this was a ¡®flying tank¡¯!
