The young man shook his head, not quite clear.

Seeing this, Lindeman couldn't ask even if he had a stomach in his heart, not to mention that there were already strange eyes around him, and Lindeman couldn't afford to lose his temper, after all, he was attending a fundraising dinner held by a congressman.

Even if there is a big thing, he can't show his feet, so he smiled apologetically at the people around him, and patted the young man on the shoulder: "Okay, I know." ”

He pushed his wheelchair and turned into the hall.

The middle-aged man who had been waiting at the table saw Lindemann come back and asked casually, "What's the matter?" Mr. Lindeman, it seems that I was surprised to see you just now. ”

"Oh, it's a little trouble, a couple of baddies scraped off my car's paintwork, damn it, that's the new car I just bought last month. Lindeman's old face was a little self-deprecating, and a little unlucky.

When the middle-aged man heard it, he also expressed sympathy, Lindeman's new car he had seen, it was a customized version of Kedrak, it is said that a lot of the technology of the US president's special car "Army One" was applied, and more importantly, Lindemann and other disabled people can enter and exit without barriers, and the value is naturally expensive, and the paint has been scratched, which is indeed distressing.

So it was also sad to sigh: "Oh my God, what unfortunate news......"

Before the middle-aged man could say something, a blonde beauty suddenly knocked on her wine glass, and the slightly noisy hall suddenly fell silent, and then the beauty smiled at everyone: "Now I have to ask our handsome Mr. Councillor, Albert, to say a few words to us." ”

The applause rang out, and Albert raised his hands and gestured enthusiastically to everyone, and then began his speech on his political program aloud.

......

Compared with Lindeman's scheming, Liszt in New York is a bit anxious.

Thanks to the resounding victory of the Ministry of Justice's bid, H Airlines' Discovery-1 drone, which was replaced by the TY-2 of the Tengfei factory, became famous.

In particular, after being praised by the Ministry of Justice, it finally attracted the attention of the United States.

In particular, the army urgently needs a kind of reconnaissance equipment that can carry out tactical reconnaissance of the enemy's shallow, near, and deep depths, assess target damage, and if necessary, correct the impact point of the artillery unit.

In the past, similar tasks were carried out by special reconnaissance detachments and light aircraft belonging to the army aviation.

However, after the test of the Vietnam War, the US military found that this multi-front combination method not only suffered large casualties, but also had many inconveniences in command, and even changed the nature of the mission due to unexpected situations, and could not achieve the expected results.

Therefore, we have been looking for a more efficient way to detect and avoid casualties.

UAVs are a good thing, the US Army noticed it early on, and invested and researched for it, but when it was submitted to Congress, it was blocked by the US Air Force, the reason is very simple, the Army wants UAVs, yes, what kind of UAVs do the Air Force don't have, why should the Army do this more, is it that the money of American taxpayers is blown by the wind?

As soon as the congressional gentlemen in charge of the budget heard this reason, they sent back the Army's plan and asked them to work with the Air Force to get an Army version of the Air Force drone.

The army had no choice but to go to the Air Force, and when it turned out, well, the Air Force's UAVs were either extremely tall and almost as tall as reconnaissance satellites; or they were all down to the extreme, with a metal tube and wings, and an engine mounted on it, and sent to the sky as target planes to be bombarded by all kinds of wild bombardment.

Of course, it is not without the interest of the army, for example, the "Amber" UAV developed by an Israeli company called IAA funded by the Air Force, in addition to the slow flight speed, real-time image transmission, and ultra-long flight time are all performance that the army urgently needs.

However, although the "Amber" UAV is good, it is still at the stage of theoretical design, and except for a full-scale model, not even a single aircraft wheel has been built.

The Army consulted Israel's IAA for this and asked them when they would be able to put it into practice, and the IAA's answer was conservative, 6 to 10 years.

In a word, it was the 90s, and the army really wanted to wait, but what about the window period of 6 to 10 years?

So after thinking about it, I finally figured out one thing, the Air Force is a pit of TM, and it is a big pit, and it is better to do it by yourself if you want the drone, so I decisively broke up with the Air Force and prepared to go it alone.

At this time, the H Company's discovery-1 drone won the bid of the Department of Justice, not to mention the overwhelming media coverage, and the strong recommendation of Senator Jefferson, vice chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

So the army organized a group of experts to go to the Ministry of Justice to inspect the delivery of the discovery-1 UAV, the results of which immediately became excited, not only the real-time transmission signal is smooth, but the ground control device is also extremely mobile and flexible.

You must know that the army is not as good as the air force, and their battle lines are often close to the forefront of the war, so the mobile and flexible deployment mode is the basic need of the army, and the air force is mostly located in the large rear behind the depth and undertakes more strategic reconnaissance tasks, so the control station is large and complex.

The control station of the Discovery-1 UAV is all integrated into a truck, which is really scratching the itch for the army, coupled with the flexible take-off mode of the Discovery-1, it is simply a tailor-made tactical reconnaissance equipment for the army.

What's more critical is that Company H, the manufacturer of the Discovery-1 UAV, was able to integrate the existing communications and reconnaissance technology in the United States, and in just half a year, it was able to create a set of reconnaissance UAVs that can be used for military purposes.

This is simply too important for the Army,

As for the mission radius of more than 200 kilometers, the army really did not pay attention to it, and now the farthest firepower projection of the US military is only a tactical missile of 150 kilometers, and the mission radius of more than 200 kilometers is much beyond the range of the army's firepower, which is enough for the army.

Therefore, after the U.S. Army conducted a series of comprehensive evaluations of the Discovery-1 UAV, put forward several avionics improvements and basic technical parameters, and facilitated Company H to sign a development contract worth 30 million US dollars for the development of six UAV prototypes and three ground control stations.

And retained the right of first refusal to purchase $200 million of products, so the discovery-1 UAV turned into an XR-1 army experimental verification UAV, codenamed "Pioneer".

The $30 million R&D contract, and the next $200 million priority procurement contract, will fall into their pockets if nothing else, and H Airlines is naturally very happy.

So I drifted a little bit and felt that I should go one step further and completely turn into a real aviation factory.

At this time, the Israeli IAA company, which had contact with the U.S. Army, came to the door and was willing to cooperate with Company H to jointly develop the "Pioneer" UAV at the cost of several patented technologies and a complete set of UAV production lines.

The temptation of H company is too great, you must know that similar proposals H company has said more than once to Tengfei factory, but every time it was slapped in the face by Tengfei factory, now H company has the detailed information of the TY-2 UAV platform, and recently got a complete flight control program.

Why do you have to look at the face of your Tengfei factory, if you don't give it, someone will give it for nothing, so without saying a word, he kicked the Tengfei factory away, opened his arms, and hugged Israel's IAA little lady into his arms.
