Chapter 740

Charlie is a pilot of the Royal English air force. After the disaster, because English gave up its strategy of ensuring national survival, he and his flight group were transferred to an air base in the southwest of France and stationed here.

They were stationed with a French flight regiment, which made the air base, which was not too large, seem a little crowded and cramped.

However, this was only temporary. When the alien invasion began, the two flight regiments stationed here and their aircraft were soon exhausted.

A flight regiment usually has about 24 fighters, 50-80 pilots, a varying number of reserve pilots and about 200 ground service personnel.

In the modern war mode, the two flight regiments are quite powerful, but in the face of an overwhelming array of alien creatures and harsh weather conditions, the two flight regiments and the fighters they are equipped with can not play their due role. Needless to say, the loss is also relatively fast.

This also led to a month after the war with alien creatures, in the air force base where Charlie was located, there were only half of the two flight regiments combined with almost 200 pilots, more than 50 fighter planes were lost, and only seven or eight aircraft that were repaired due to engine damage or lack of parts survived.

Not only that, the ground crew also suffered a certain loss. Although the loss was small, it still depressed the morale of the whole air force base.

Although the statements of the first class air force, the second class Navy and the third class army are just a joke, this can really reflect the difference between the three from the side. After all, the air force pilots are the most refined and expensive. The navy is also a high-tech arm, and only the army is very ordinary.

Especially for the English people, the army is the only force in the English armed forces without a royal title.

In the past, Charlie was very proud of his status as an elite pilot of the Royal Air Force.

But now, the army, which has always been despised by them, is fighting hard on the front line to withstand the attack of alien creatures, while their air force can only squat in the air base, which not only stimulates their self-esteem, but also undoubtedly exacerbates the low morale of these air force pilots.

A large number of aircraft losses not only make them unable to fight, but also make them idle now. After all, with such low morale and the loss of aircraft, everyone has no intention to train. Most people just gather in the dormitory to play cards and fight every day to kill boring time.

If it were not for the current shortage of materials, it would be difficult for even their pilots to buy alcohol. Charlie believed that there would be a lot of drunks in the base.

Charlie himself is quite self-discipline. Perhaps it is the result of being strictly required by his father since childhood. Charlie still retains the temperament and self-discipline of British gentlemen in those days, and does not degenerate like other teammates.

But even so, Charlie felt that he could only do this. After all, the whole base is like this now, and he has nothing to do.

Even the officers at the base were too lazy to restrain these pilots, and even their daily training became indulgent.

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

With a helpless mood, he had a lunch in the canteen. Charlie sat on a table and ate his own lunch.

Because of the shortage of materials and the need to supply the front line first, the base, which originally had a guaranteed supply of materials, has gradually fallen into a shortage. The lunch has dropped from the original level of bread, sausage and vegetables to the level of almost only potatoes and carrots.

Even a large part of these potatoes and carrots were planted by the base, which emptied an underground hangar without planes, and then built a greenhouse.

Charlie doesn't think he has any complaints about this. He can only eat enough if he can fight. Now there are no planes, and they pilots are useless. It's nothing to pay worse.

Just after accepting his life like this, Charlie still felt a little unwilling. He hoped to get a new plane up there. He could also fly the plane back to the battlefield to fight those alien monsters. Only in this way did he feel that he didn't waste his life.

In fact, Charlie is already reporting and applying to be transferred to the front line. Even if he only operates machine gun shooting in the trench, Charlie thinks it's better to stay in the base and do nothing.

However, it is obvious that Charlie's superiors do not want to send valuable pilots to waste in the trenches ahead. Even if they have nothing to do now and have no new aircraft for them, they are still valuable pilots and can't waste so much.

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! Good news! We have a new plane!"

"New plane? What new plane?" Charlie didn't understand the situation. He quickly grabbed the French pilot and asked him, "Renault, make it clear, what's going on?"

Renault, who was held by Charlie, was very excited and danced to Charlie to vent his emotions: "new fighter! Charlie! New fighter! 20 sea harriers sealed during the cold war and 18 phantom F1! We have a plane! We can fly again!"

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

However, Charlie was surprised and puzzled at the same time. He wanted Renault to ask, "harrier and phantom F1? Cold war aircraft? Where did they turn out these antiques? And these antiques have been discontinued for many years? Now there are maintenance parts?"

These cold war aircraft belong to the outdated third-generation aircraft. Compared with the mainstream fourth-generation aircraft, and even the fifth generation aircraft in Yanguo, Lucia and the Federation, they are undoubtedly backward and will be eliminated.

However, this does not mean that these aircraft can not be used. After all, they are also the main models in those years. Many aircraft that served only at the end of the cold war have been sealed up for only 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 to fight alien creatures.
