The fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar is an important traditional festival in China, at least everyone should get together for a good meal.

At this moment, Yodel, the partner and technical director of the Leipzig company in Germany, also followed the local customs, smiling from ear to ear in front of a large table of dishes in a high-end hotel in Sin Chew.

If this had been placed a few days ago, yodel would not have been so happy, even if it was a hypocritical pretence, no way, in the face of the continuous bad news of Leipzig, the entire Leipzig management, including Jodle, was not crazy.

I thought that at the moment when China was experiencing twists and turns in import and export trade due to drastic changes in the international situation, he aimed at the aviation manufacturing industry, which was eager to break through, and was ready to come in and cut a wave of leeks.

This is true for the S-70 helicopters of the high-priced maintenance troops.

This is the case with the transfer of technical data and production license for the "small forklift" helicopter by Tengfei Group.

Even if Tengfei Group was later asked to provide a full set of technical improvement solutions for the "small forklift" helicopter with the help of upgraded "air pickup" helicopters.

Even during this period, Leipzig showed concessions, and even at some point was surprised and pleaded, and it seemed that it was really impressed by the ability of the Ascendas Group.

But the essence has not changed in the slightest, because after Leipzig got everything it wanted, everything was back to the way it was.

The S-70 helicopter was claimed to be repaired free of charge, but there were stalemates from time to time due to some trivial material problems; as for the helicopter technology obtained from the Tengfei Group, the original promised accessories and the introduction of some production equipment gradually became a flash in the pan in a series of fierce negotiations.

Everything seems to be going step by step along the Leipzig company's vision, which is to cut leeks at the lowest price, turn around and use the fruits of the leeks' hard work, brand a dazzling halo made in Germany, and then grab excess profits in the vast international market.

However, just when Leipzig felt that it had everything in control, it was ready to improve the engineering helicopter project in hand as soon as possible, and ensure that the official version of the public demonstrator was launched before the end of the year, so as to stabilize the European engineering companies that had already booked the engineering helicopter, and at the same time strive for more orders and prepare to do a big job.

A series of accidents have rekindled the flame of hope in Leipzig, like irrigation droplets of agricultural dropper technology, and they have completely extinguished this small flame drop by drop.

First of all, helicopter special bearings, Leipzig uses the most advanced alloy metal bearings in Germany, according to the improvement program provided by Tengfei Group, the main reducer of the "small forklift" helicopter has been readjusted, and the results of the non-lubricated final reducer ground limit test, less than 1 minute after interrupting the lubrication supply, the entire final reducer will catch fire and be scrapped.

After the inspection, the friction temperature of the alloy metal bearing made in Germany increased sharply without lubricating oil heat dissipation, resulting in the alloy metal ball could not withstand direct chipping, and finally the entire final reducer was scrapped.

But the key to the problem is not how the bearing is, but how long it lasts, less than a minute, you must know that according to the latest requirements of the European aviation safety authorities for helicopter safety, in the case of a helicopter lubrication interruption, the entire transmission system must be able to last more than 15 minutes.

This gives the pilot plenty of time to force the helicopter to a safe place.

Which Cheng thought that the improved helicopter final reducer of Leipzig Company did not even last for a minute, and it was broken in a hurry, so that Leipzig Company was in tears, a large group of hard-core machinery built by German masters, not to mention that it can last more than 15 minutes, it is always okay to hold on for ten minutes.

As for the remaining 5 minutes or so, make an enhanced beta version, and by the way, pour some "chicken soup" from the European Aviation Commission to the old men of the European Aviation Commission.

As a result, NM was over in less than a minute, and even the strokes with your hands lasted longer than this, which really made women cry when they saw it, and men were silent when they listened.

There are two reasons for this result, one is that the speed index of the final reducer designed by Tengfei Group is very fast, which objectively causes the final reducer to eat bearings, and the other is that the alloy bearings selected are not up to standard.

To be honest, Leipzig was tempted to work on one factor, but it was good that it didn't work, but after getting started, not only did the bearings not last, but even the other parts were finished, in other words, the final drive they had changed completely failed.

Then you can only start with the bearing, the problem is that there are few helicopter special aviation bearings in the world can be taken out, Germany is very powerful in the field of machinery manufacturing, but that is general machinery, as for high-end aerospace manufacturing, because of the defeat in World War II and was castrated Germany is not even as good as France.

Because of this, in general machinery, German alloy bearings do represent Germany's durable and high-end quality, but in the aerospace field, this durability and high-end has become a joke.

In desperation, Leipzig had no choice but to seek imports, ideally in the neighbouring France, where the arrogant French have always regarded themselves as the European aerospace leader, as can be seen from the fact that the integrated Airbus headquarters and final assembly plant are located in France.

As the backbone of the French economy and an important reliant on European leadership, how could the French allow a German aircraft manufacturing company to grow?

In a word, the Germans can repair airplanes and make aircraft parts, but they just can't build their own planes and compete with the French for jobs.

Of course, as an important country within Europe, France still depends on Germany for many things, although it thinks so in its heart, it can't do too much to make the Germans unable to come to power.

If the strong one doesn't work, it's soft, and a procrastination trick will directly make the Leipzig company want to die.

There was no choice but to turn to the United States.

Americans don't have so many concerns and twists and turns as the French, if you want bearing accessories, you can, as long as the price is in place, in order to meet the conditions that you can't finish reading for two or three days, can you pack your own wife and send it to you?

In the face of the undisguised attitude of the Americans, the Leipzig company almost slammed the MMP, not to mention the price offered by the United States, which could kill people, and the conditions were even more direct to the heart of the Leipzig company, if they agreed, the entire company could be dismembered by the Americans in minutes.

As for why, it is quite simple, the "small forklift" helicopter that the Leipzig company is developing with great urgency directly threatens the market share of the American S-64 "aerial crane" helicopter and the actual interests of American engineering companies.

Because of this, under the fanning of these people, the Leipzig company almost became an evil stronghold, and sold you accessories, and it was already considered to give face to the German masters if they strangled them directly without pinching their necks.
