“Didn’t you just video call him a few days ago?” The actor added, “Daddy’s so busy. He might not have time to come back!”

“Why don’t you call him and ask when he’ll be back?” Natalia widened her eyes with anticipation.

The actor couldn’t bear to disappoint her, so he stepped to the side and took out his cell phone. He looked at Gong Jie’s FaceTime icon and after a moment’s hesitation, he finally dialed.

…

Hurricane Group.

Gong Jie stepped into the maintenance hall, still in his trench coat, and stared at the huge beast parked on the tarmac—a military helicopter.

It was his personal vehicle.

Military helicopters were armed helicopters developed for combat missions. They were categorized into ordinary armed helicopters, stealth helicopters, and high-speed armed helicopters. They could also be specialized or multi-purpose aircrafts.

The specialized model had a long and narrow fuselage and a stronger combat ability. In addition to being used in attack missions, the multi-purpose model could also be used for transportation, landing, and other missions. Not only did modern military helicopters carry a wide variety of weapons, they also carried large loads.

As far as single aircrafts were concerned, a helicopter with a large takeoff load could carry more ammunition. For example, the Mi-24 assault helicopter, which was used extensively in the Eton P2H and Afh wars, had a four-barreled 12.7mm machine gun with a 1,500-round ammunition reserve, four antitank missiles could be hung on the short wing tips, and four 57mm rocket launchers could be hung on four racks under the short wing. A total load of 128 rockets. If not rockets, a 1,500-kg bomb can be hung.

Another example is the AH-l attack helicopter, which was put into use on the battlefield in Vietnam. Its nose is equipped with an L-20mm or 30mm aerial gun, and the sides of the fuselage can be loaded with 8 anti-tank missiles or 76 70mm rockets. The A-129 helicopter, which takes off less than 4t, is equipped with a 12.7mm machine gun. It can carry eight “Holt” missiles or 52 70mm rockets, and the air-combat type can carry eight “Northwest” air-to-air missiles. For an established attack helicopter unit, its attack firepower is not to be underestimated.

Right now, this huge military monster was undergoing daily maintenance.

Men have an innate desire to conquer. As such, they like cars, tanks, and firearms. But not everyone had the privilege of owning such a huge military monster. This military helicopter was a coming-of-age gift from Gong Shaoying to Gong Jie. So far, it had served him for about ten years.

Depending on the outcome of this inspection, he may well have to retire it. Gong Jie felt a pang of reluctance. 10 years. It was impossible to say that he had no feelings for this “comrade”.

This was the most precious gift he had received when he turned 18. For so many years, he had treated it like a treasure. However, now that it was facing retirement, he could only lament that time had passed too quickly.

The monstrous beast was an AH-1 Cobra attack helicopter. After the end of the LZ in 1990, in order to adapt to a harsher and more variable environment on the battlefield in the future, and to accomplish their mission faster and more effectively in various regional conflicts, the Marine Corps of M nation decided to use the AH-1W Super Cobra as the basis for a comprehensive upgrade. The result was the AH-1Z Viper.

The first prototype of the AH-1Z was successfully tested in 2000. Although nominally this was just a performance boost for the Super Cobra.

Throughout its lifespan, maintenance alone, including the cost of training, would be in the hundreds of millions of dollars, or even more than a billion.

The Hurricane Group was especially strict about the maintenance of equipment maintenance and lifespan.
