Because of this, Mellintz, like Mareszewski, is very open to Thailand, as long as the Thai side is willing to spend money, Merlinz can immediately present the full set of technology of the T-46 trainer aircraft and assist the Royal Thai Aerospace Corporation in production.

If the Thai side has doubts and wants to feel the finished product, Merlinz is not worried, after all, Japan's T-3 intermediate trainer aircraft has been put into service, and Merlintz can arrange for relevant Thai personnel to go to Japan at any time for the so-called "experience" trip.

With technology, courage, actual production and service models, and the convenience of being able to "experience" travel in Japan, Merlinz can be said to have thought of it, and all the unexpected ones have been accounted for, so when he first came to Thailand, Merlinz can be said to be quite confident, and he thinks that this tender is a sure thing.

Therefore, he treats people with all kinds of kindness and politeness.

However, when he saw the glimpse of the Chujiao 6pro, there was a 180-degree turn, and the Ascendas Group actually used a turboprop to make a texture that only jets have, which in itself surprised Merlintz.

What's even more shocking is that it is none other than the one who drove the Chujiao 6 Pro to soar over Bangkok, it turned out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which made Merlinz a little unbearable, after all, in a country like Thailand with huge royal influence, how are high-ranking officials doing, and they are also scum in front of the royal family.

So Merlintz is sure that all the heavy bets he made in the early days of the Thai government will be wasted if nothing else.

However, there is still a trace of luck in Merlintz's heart, after all, how outstanding the beginner 6pro is, it is just a junior training aircraft, while their T-46 is an intermediate training aircraft, and it can also be used as a senior training aircraft at a certain time.

In this way, there is a difference in grade with the first teaching 6pro, and they still have a chance.

It wasn't until he saw the true face of the J-Teach 7Max that the last fluke in Merlinz's heart finally disappeared in front of the unparalleled cost-effectiveness of the J-Teach-in 7Max.

The J-7 Max, which is not inferior to the F-16's maneuverability and is equipped with Doppler radar and perfect avionics equipment, only costs $9.98 million, compared with the T-46, which has a large difference in comprehensive performance, has a unit price of $18.6 million.

The price of a T-46 is on top of two Jianjiao 7Max, and there is nothing outstanding in performance, which one can the Thai side choose?

So at this moment, Mellinz knew that this trip to Thailand was in vain, and all the investment and public relations in the early stage were in vain.

If you count the expenses of further improvement of T-46, the establishment of a new team, etc., this time Merlinz can only be described as a blood loss.

But is it all Merlinz's fault?

No!

As a shareholder of Fairchild Aviation Manufacturing and head of the T-46 technical team, how could a member of McDonnell Douglas' senior management make a mistake?

So......

Merlinz glanced at Shi Jun next to him, his gray-blue eyes showed a hint of coldness and resentment, and finally condensed into a cannibalistic term, which was called throwing pot.

At this moment, Shi Jun didn't say that he found the gaze cast by Merlintz, and everything around him had become a floating cloud, because there was nothing else in his eyes except for the Chujiao 6pro and Annihilation 7Max in front of him.

As for the heart, he kept repeating a sentence as if he was crazy, he made it~~He made it~~~ He really made it~~~~

He is none other than Zhuang Jianye, who has been competing all the time, and until now he is still ridiculed by himself as a soft rice man and a salted fish boy.

"Lao Shi, do you think there is a possibility that in the near future, we will replace the piston engine on the Chujiao 6 with a turboprop engine, and its performance will come to this qualitative leap?"

When he first entered the Yonghong factory, the two were chatting in the dormitory, Zhuang Jianye picked at the stinky feet, looked up at the lights that went out because of the power outage, and talked endlessly about his improvement plan for the existing model, and from time to time slapped his face to kill a bloody mosquito.

"I listened to half of what Chief Engineer He explained today, and the rest fell asleep, but only half of it was enough, because let me see that Chief Engineer He is still too conservative, what is the core of carrier-based aircraft? Short take-off and landing, even the deck of the aircraft carrier can't be used, saying that those maneuvering actions in the air have a fart?"

Zhuang Jianye, who was asked by He Ming to participate in the development of carrier-based aircraft, was still yawning at lunch, and while eating, he kept complaining with his mouth full of food.

"What? How to solve the problem of short take-off and landing? Simple, put the lifting and braking parts on the wing of a large civil airliner on the wing of the carrier-based aircraft, and ensure that you get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Zhuang Jianye, who was ordered to go to the provincial data room to check the information, put his hands on his cheeks in a large pile of information gaps, looked out the window, looked out of the window, and said perfunctory things nonsense.

"Lao Shi, look at my model, the latest product of the transformation of the 23rd Factory, according to the prototype of our carrier-based aircraft back then, and incorporate some ideas from me and Lao Lin, how about it? Isn't it very feasible? We call him the model of the advanced fighter in the future. ”

Zhuang Jianye, who has become the director of the 23rd Factory, came to visit with the model airplane that had just been produced, holding the exquisite model of the future fighter plane in both hands like offering treasures, showing off like a child.

"Shi Jun, don't tell me that your previous words were all eaten by dogs, my Zhuang Jianye spit is a nail, since Lao Tzu said that aviation will not rise, and will not pick up old Shanghai, Lao Tzu was like this in the past, it is still like this, and it will still be like this in the future, what about you?"

In the hospital, the two people who had just fought stood opposite each other, Zhuang Jianye wiped the blood marks on the corner of his mouth, raised his arm with the Shanghai brand watch, and asked loudly.

......

At this moment, Shi Jun was like a dead old man, flashing the scenes of the past in his mind frame by frame like a movie screen.

Clear and authentic.

So much so that now that he thinks about it, Shi Jun feels like a joke, a little like pointing at Zhuang Jianye's nose and laughing at it.

Yes, Zhuang Jianye was particularly lazy at that time, very middle two, and had a lot of whimsical ideas in his head, but every idea was ridiculously funny, so much so that He Ming at that time said privately that Zhuang Jianye was a good seedling, that is, he was too good at drilling, good at reading and not seeking to understand, and he would suffer a big loss in the future.

At that time, there were not a few people who had such an evaluation, in a blink of an eye, 1982 was long gone, 1994 was already halfway through, 12 years with a flick of a finger, what happened to the people who laughed at Zhuang Jianye for being good at reading and not seeking to understand?

And Zhuang Jianye, who was ridiculed, remembered every idea and every idea back then, and started with a small model, and finally let the plane in his heart gradually take shape, and finally turned into a background board for the memories of those who knew him well.

Yes, Shi Jun's memories are very real, and there is even a sense of déjà vu at your fingertips, but these pictures that seem to be reproduced have a background, that is, the Chujiao 6pro and Jianjiao 7Max in front of you.

So Shi Jun smiled miserably, and for the first time, an emotion called regret sprouted from the depths of his heart.

"I settled in the U.S., really...... Right?"
