Chapter 0688 - It Seems That Something Terrible Has Happened
Hughes will be in charge of the follow-up reception with Johnson, and Li Zitao will now go to the Federal Arms Commission.
It mainly explains the flow of the transaction and the 'security' measures, also known as technical barriers.
The Committee's focus was on ensuring that those technologies would not be co-opted by other countries.
"Gentlemen, we are in an era of booming industry, with new technologies being demonstrated and new inventions appearing every day,
From petroleum to plastics, the application of plexiglass, the use of airplanes from humble wood to today's large transport planes, no one can guarantee what will happen tomorrow,
The technology used by the Skunk on the P-38 was not complicated, we just used our imagination and brought it to life ... There are no so-called technical barriers. ”
"Mr. Charlie, can you understand that anyone can learn and be inspired by lightning?"
"No, on the contrary, our core technology, engine and balancing device, is at least 3~5 years ahead of other companies, even if there is a physical object, it will take time to overcome it. There was a chair in the center of the small room, on which Li Zitao was sitting, and behind the desk across from him were three committee members.
"The British side has put forward an order for 203 aircraft, how long will it take to complete it with your production capacity?"
"75 days is enough. "Reach a deal first, and then it's easy to talk about the rest of the matter, and it's a big deal to give the capacity of other production lines to 'Lightning'.
"The DC series is a large transport aircraft purchased and serviced by the military, and the price for external sales is...", the colonel, who was sitting on the right, looked up at him.
"The S-4 costs 199,800, the S-101 costs 447,000, the P-38 costs 128,234, and the SH-1A ......"
As many families said the price, Li Zitao soon left the three-story building in Washington.
This is a small report, in fact, it is equivalent to going through the motions, the United States and the British are not bad now, plus the situation in Europe, will not block the export of arms.
Besides, they can also make a lot of money in terms of tariffs, 30 percent of the income, and for Washington, which is waiting for the rice to be cooked, there is no reason to refuse.
"Is there a reply over there?" Sitting in the Cadillac provided by the hotel, Li Zitao asked with his arm around Ava.
"Well, MacArthur and the Secretary of State have agreed. Enduring the big hands, Ava reported on her recent work.
However, Li Zitao obviously didn't plan to let her go, and let her taste it on the way back to the hotel
After finishing the work at hand, Li Zitao, as the 'air trapper', once again, Gulfstream One crossed the blue sky and landed in Honolulu.
Hawaii is back to its former bustle, with the islands seeing a 64 percent drop in visitors during the Great Depression.
But the proportion of regal tourists has risen by 183 percent, and a large number of wealthy people are looking at it as another holiday destination.
Excluding the Mediterranean, Hawaii is on the same trajectory as it was before.
It's just that in comparison, having three developers has accelerated its development process by about 20 years.
Rent a boat at the pier, negotiate a price of 10 US dollars to charter a boat, 5 people plus a half-person high wooden box get on the boat, and the fisherman props up the boat and sails to the back of Kauai.
"Do you want to see the villa that hangs on the edge of the cliff?" asked the fisherman on the way.
"Why, are there many people visiting?" Li Zitao asked curiously.
"Of course, getting up close and personal with Kauai is a popular new route out to sea in Honolulu, but you can't get too close, and tourists aren't welcome on the island. ”
Seeing that Li Zitao is willing to talk, the other party opens the conversation box, talking about the latest tourist routes, starting from Honolulu to detour Kauai Island, photographing the City of Freedom, going to Maui after diving, or visiting the folk village on the other side of Kauai Island, you can also live there.
"Look, there it is. As he spoke, the boat went around the island, and a hollow inward depression appeared in the eyes of everyone, and only two bodyguards were walking on the clean sand.
"Lean in. Li Zitao looked at the shocking city of freedom, and he couldn't wait to see Garbo and his daughter.
"Sir, the shore is not allowed here, it is private land. The boatman hurriedly explained.
"We know you just have to do it. Ava said lightly.
Seeing that they insisted, the boatman shook his head helplessly, and said in his heart, "It's another group of people who don't give up, and I hope they won't be angry when they will be driven away."
Seeing a boat approaching, the two bodyguards on the beach immediately approached the pier, still holding binoculars in their hands, and saw clearly the expressionless companions in black suits on the boat.
“boss。 As soon as the boat approached the dock, the two bodyguards used iron hooks to stabilize the boat and let Li Zitao step on the dock.
"Yes. Nodding, Li Zitao turned back to the surprised boatman and said, "Your explanation is very interesting, thank you." ”
Signaling the bodyguard to let the boat go, Li Zitao walked towards the elevator, Ava also took off her high heels and held them in her hands, and followed with her feet on the soft sand.
"Dad... It's Daddy... Lilith is here..."Before she got closer, in the curved terrace hanging in the air, Lilith was being hugged by the nanny and waved excitedly.
"Baby, wait for me in the elevator. Li Zitao quickened his pace, the elevator door had been opened by the bodyguard, and the wooden box in the other party's hand was also taken by him personally.
Bite.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, Lilith pounced on him from the inside, giggling laughter coming out of her mouth.
Li Zitao hurriedly raised the wooden box in his hand to prevent her from touching it, and walked out of the elevator with his daughter hanging on her lap with a smile.
"Daddy, is this a gift?" After the excitement of the first meeting, Lilith's attention was attracted by the wooden box, and she pressed her hands on the box and looked into the gap with a curious gaze.
"That's right, Lilith guess what?" Li Zitao turned his gaze to the servant as he spoke, and he was asking about Garbo's whereabouts.
"Madame is in the back mountain hot springs, do you need me to call it?" the maid said softly.
"Dad, hurry up and unwrap it, take it apart, Lilith wants to see the gift..."Lilith clapped her palms and said excitedly.
"Okay, how about letting Aunt Ava help you?" motioned to the nanny and Ava to take care of her daughter, Li Zitao took off her coat and handed it to the maid, and walked quickly towards the back mountain.
"Xiangzi, no, this is too intense..."Walking among the tree-lined paths paved with square bricks, Li Zitao heard some strange sounds.
"Don't stop, huh... Garbo, that's it..."Xiangzi's gasping sound of glutinous rice sounded, and Li Zitao walked around the flowers with a strange face, and finally saw the scenery in the hot spring.
The two of them were lying face to face in the hot spring, their arms propped up on the edge of the pool, their cheeks tilted back, and their faces glowed with red tides.
Looking at the pond water sprinkled with red rose petals, it is full of fragrant atmosphere, but you can't see the beautiful scenery under the pond at all.
However, judging from the expressions and movements of the two, it seems that something terrible is happening.
