A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

Chapter 636 Everyone tries to think the best, but what happens when you put all the pieces together?

"agree!"

"agree!"

After the crew nodded, the squadron leader squatted down with satisfaction, opened a concealed interface on the back of the aircraft, and after fiddling with it for a while, several inflatable airbags popped out from around the aircraft.

"Holy crap! Squadron Leader, this plane has this function?! How come I didn't know that! The technology of the Bald Eagle is terrifying!"

The pilots were stunned. After the airbags deployed, the plane stopped its descent. The few people whose lives were temporarily safe were relieved and had time to discuss what to do next.

"Bullshit bald eagle, I invented this!"

The squadron leader was very arrogant: "Remember that P2V that got shot down last time?"

"Hiss, is that the time when the bald boss's 'vehicle' was captured?"

"Hmph! That's right. The guys on the plane didn't get bombed, but they froze to death at sea. I've been thinking about this ever since. You made the right choice by following me!"

"No wonder you got on this plane. Did you expect to crash into the sea? Oh! Squadron Leader, you deliberately crashed into the sea to avoid being hit by enemy missiles!"

"Wow! That's incredibly tall! It's as tall as the Bagua Mountain Buddha in Changhua!"

(This thing was 23 meters tall at the time and was known as the largest Buddha statue in East Asia.)

"Damn it, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all..." The squad leader gritted his teeth: "Look, if we give this to the other side, we can at least get a reward for redeeming ourselves!"

"Squad leader, where are we?"

"Tch, this big guy down there. Bringing it back intact is a huge achievement. Even if it's divided among six people, it'll be enough for you to live comfortably!"

"Hey! Now that's what you call following the right person!" The driver clenched his fist. "The squadron leader's thinking is so comprehensive!"

"Squad leader, come on, have some wine to warm yourself up!"

"Hehehe, you know, we've done a good job of offering our services, right? Will we be able to meet that important person? To be honest, I really admire him..."

The driver took out his liquor flask, and the group gathered around, expressing their longing for a new life.

"Hiss, Captain. What about our families? My son is only two years old..."

"Don't worry! As long as we don't show up, even if we're missing, those bastards from the intelligence agency won't bother our families. They'll just investigate slowly, after all, they need to be mindful of the consequences!"

"Influence?"

"Nonsense, who knew we'd accidentally fall into the sea? Would you believe it if someone told you?"

"It's starting to resemble a novel..."

"That's settled then. We're fighting bravely on the front lines, and if we go missing, our families will be investigated? Do you think the remaining brothers would be happy about that?"

"That's what you call righteousness! Just like those guys over there, they only managed to drive us to the other side because of righteousness..."

"Hey hey hey..."

"Hahaha……"

Well, these strawberry soldiers' mental victory method is really effective. But, you know what, the company commander isn't the first to do this, and he certainly won't be the last.

but……

Just like our naval commander, who was practically vomiting bile, overlooked something, their plan also had a huge flaw...

That is, at this time, the bald eagles have regular patrol routes on the Yellow Sea coast.

now……

USS Lexington CV-16 is patrolling in the southern waters.

USS Blue, DD-744, also arrogantly intruded into our territory.

"Poor little potato, hang in there a little longer. Your Grandpa Blue is coming to rescue you soon!"

"Captain, I never knew you cared so much about the crew members. You truly are a human rights advocate!"

"Ha! I like your compliment, but please don't misunderstand, the little potato I'm talking about is that P2V-7U! USS NAVY is still very concerned about the 'Firebee's' inexplicable malfunction!"

"Hurry up! Let's collect the little potato quickly and end this awful day!"

"Aye, aye captain!"

"CAP! Why don't you send the Grumman TBF Avenger off from USS Lexington CV-16? With their help, we should be able to find 'Little Potato's' coordinates as soon as possible!"

"Tsk, don't provoke that ancient country too much. If you push them too far, they're really hard to deal with. If we go in, we can say we got lost, but if we bring fighter jets, that won't work. The charge of military intrusion isn't so easy to bear!"

"So wise of you!"

"Also, their two new weapons that suddenly appeared pose a significant threat to us. It's just a small mission; there's no need to escalate the conflict."

"Your life is your own, but the badge of honor belongs to someone else..."

The first mate listened to the captain's instructions and silently repeated them.

The captain stretched and yawned. "So tired!"

After glancing at the radar screen, he turned to the first mate: "XO, I need to leave my post for 30 minutes for lunch. You take over command. Maintain the current heading of 195 degrees and a speed of 20 knots. Avoid the fishing net area. Call the captain's cabin if there are any abnormalities."

The first mate strode to the center of the control panel: "Aye, aye captain! Heading 195, speed 20 knots, avoid fishing net area, report any abnormalities immediately—I have taken control of Conn."

The captain nodded and left his seat, but the first mate did not sit down; he remained standing, his gaze fixed on the compass.

The watchful sailor quickly recorded in the logbook: Captain off duty, Lieutenant Commander XO Smith takes over Conn. Heading 195-20kts.

Wow, I have to say the bald eagle replacing the lobster nation as the new maritime hegemon is no exaggeration. The transfer of command (conn) was completed in just ten seconds. If it were the lobster nation, they wouldn't have been able to achieve such a concise and efficient process without following their old traditions and making a lot of noise.

Faced with such a powerful enemy, our soldiers really don't know how they managed to hold on.

But even if you can't bear it, you have to persevere!

Moreover, we now possess something that can pose a slight threat to the other side.

Just as this Alan Sumner-class destroyer entered our area, our eye in the sky also turned its attention to us.

"Report! Radar indicates unidentified target on the sea! Bearing: XXX, Distance: XXX!"

"what!"

The head of the radar control group is currently peering through the large observation window of the "Airborne Early Warning and Control System No. 1," watching the aircraft on the sea surface deploy several airbags.

In a good mood, he was joking with the navigator that once the plane was recovered, he would definitely ask how the airbag deployed and then ask Xiao Jiang to make it up and attach it to their plane.

Upon hearing his crew report that there was a situation, his first thought was that the ship had come to rescue the P2V-7U below.

"Hey... where are our navy ships? Tell them to hurry up, or we'll lose all the credit!"

"Hey, Captain, we've been flying for so long, do we still have enough fuel? Should we descend a bit and scare that rescue ship?"

"Haha, that's good. There's still 30% fuel left. That's enough!"

Our captain remembered the cannons that hadn't been used yet, and pointed to the fuel gauge: "Hey, luckily Xiao Jiang insisted on removing a few 30mm cannons, otherwise the fuel would be almost empty by now!"

"Tsk tsk, so you were just messing around with other people earlier!"

"Hehehe, I'm just used to flying bombers, who knew this radar aircraft would be so powerful!"

The two joked around as they replanned their flight path.

Just as the captain lowered the nose of the aircraft, preparing to test the automatic fire control system installed in Jiangxia, the radar operator in the rear compartment exclaimed in surprise:

"Wait a minute! Team leader! This isn't a small boat! It must be a big one!"

"Yes...yes, it's over 100 meters long!"

"groove!"
