Despite his background in the Army, Alondo was transferred to the Air Force across services and retired as Chairman and CEO of the Royal Thai Aerospace Industries Corporation, which was officially appointed by the King of Thailand.

is a newcomer who is a halfway monk, and he is still a layman in many subdivisions of the aviation industry, but so many years of military career and life experience have allowed Alondo to exercise a pair of long-term visions with a strong sense of the overall situation.

To build a regional airliner with more than 50 seats, the technology is too high, and the competition is too great; not to mention the strength of the fighter itself, it also has to face the encirclement and suppression of high-quality third-generation aircraft from the United States, many surplus fighters from the Soviet Union after its disintegration, and classic European fighters.

The most important thing is that it can avoid the fierce competition of the United States, Russia, France, these combat aircraft production powers, and seize the next broad market, so as to lay the foundation for Thailand's next step to real combat aircraft and other models.

Yes, once the trainer is done well, the combat aircraft derived from it is not a difficult thing, but the index is higher, of course, if the platform of the trainer aircraft is good enough, direct improvement and enhancement can also become a good combat aircraft.

For example, the "Eagle" advanced training aircraft, known as the name of the United Kingdom, as the originator of advanced training aircraft in the world today, in addition to training and training fighter pilots at the beginning of its service, the "Eagle" has also become the most important territorial air defense aircraft of the British Royal Air Force with its outstanding performance.

Some air forces with relatively weak strength and smaller scale regard them as the main aircraft and are used for combat missions such as territorial air defense and battlefield shelter.

Therefore, an excellent training aircraft really has unlimited possibilities and unlimited business opportunities.

However, despite the good prospects, the Royal Thai Aerospace Industries Company does not have the ability to independently develop and produce aircraft, even the simplest low-speed small aircraft, so there is a huge practical gap with Alondo's ambition to cooperate with the government's economic transformation and build the aviation industry into a core industry in Thailand in the future.

If this is placed in other pragmatic countries, it is estimated that it will rein in its edge, first for a while, and then come out to fight in the Quartet after practicing its internal skills.

However, Alondo and the Thai government confirmed that the timeliness of this is too slow, is it that Thailand has no money or resources, the dignified Asian tigers are the leader, and the industrialists in Southeast Asia have the thickest foundation, why can't they make a big progress?

What's more, what can Indonesian Aerospace Industries Group do, what is worse in Thailand?

If there are no professional talents, then the whole Southeast Asia will dig professional aviation talents; if there is a lack of equipment, then spend money to import from Europe and the United States; if there is a lack of core products, it is easy to do, and we will bid for global bidding to find reliable partners and get the production line of the training aircraft that we like.

In a word, it's all over with money.

There is no way that Thailand before 1997 was so arrogant!

As the helmsman of the entire import project, Alondo naturally has an indescribable sense of superiority, what happened to the Western countries? What about Russia, which inherited the mantle of the Soviet Union? And what about the Taishang Ascendas Group, which used to be Thailand's aerospace manufacturing industry?

Receiving the bidding plan for Thailand's trainer plane is not a flower girl who swaggers in Hongchen Street, twisting the waist of the water snake and swooping towards herself.

Because of this, Alondo, who was standing on the floor-to-ceiling window gun, looked high-spirited, and there was a sense of domineering that the global aviation industry was about to change color.

So he took a sip of the teacup and said to himself quite smugly: "It is estimated that in a few years, the name of the father of the Thai aviation industry will naturally become his new title." ”

After speaking, he tilted his neck and drank the remaining tea in the cup proudly.

......

While Alondo was in his office, facing the bustling street scene of Bangkok, a Boeing 767 slid steadily to the entrance of the tunnel on the tarmac of Bangkok International Airport.

Zhuang Jianye, Lin Guanghua, He Ming and others walked out of the passenger plane with the passenger flow, and soon arrived in Thailand in advance to make preliminary contact with the Royal Thai Aerospace Industries Company Gu Jingyou hurriedly greeted him, and after saying hello to Zhuang Jianye and others, he frowned and said: "Mr. Zhuang, the situation has changed, the Thai side not only asked me for cooperation with our Tengfei Group, but also contacted McDonnell Douglas, Northrop, Yakovlev, Dassault, Pilatus, Alenia, British Aerospace ......."

"Huh~~ The battle is quite big!"

Hearing that the Thai side has found almost all the manufacturers that produce training aircraft, Zhuang Jianye not only did not panic, but laughed and ridiculed.

In stark contrast to Lin Guanghua and He Ming, the brows of the two are deeper than one wrinkle, especially He Ming, as the first battle after the merger of Yonghong Factory into Tengfei Group, the pressure of the old man was great, and now I heard that internationally renowned aircraft manufacturers gather here, and it is difficult to say how much gain can be achieved in Thailand by the little belongings of Yonghong Factory, which is not very prominent in China.

So his anxious heart was pounding, and he endured and endured it after all, but he still couldn't hold back, and was about to open his mouth to remind Zhuang Jianye not to be careless, but before the old man could speak, he heard Lin Guanghua next to him suddenly shout: "Shi Jun!"

Old man He Ming was stunned for a moment and didn't remember who Shi Jun was, and when he raised his eyes, he found that among the several Western faces pouring out of the exit passage of another plane not far away, there happened to be a figure that he could recognize when he turned into ashes, who could it be if it wasn't Shi Jun?

When even stunned.

Not to mention that He Ming was stunned, but Zhuang Jianye, who was the most calm, saw that Shi Jun was also a little distracted, and Shi Jun, who was called by name, also saw Zhuang Jianye and the others, and his surprise was overflowing, but he quickly relented, said a few words to several blonde and blue-eyed white companions next to him, and walked towards Zhuang Jianye with brisk steps.

When he approached, he had the same confident and calm smile on his face as when he first entered the Yonghong factory, and greeted Zhuang Jianye: "Zhuang Jianye, I really didn't expect you to come in person, I thought I wouldn't see you this time." ”

Hearing this, Zhuang Jianye's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately swept the sign held by the pick-up staff over there, and the huge McDonnell Trail sign on it was eye-catching and abnormal, and immediately retracted his gaze to look at Shi Jun, who was completely Americanized except for his skin and hair color, and asked, "You joined McDonnell Douglas?"

Shi Jun nodded: "Yes......"

But before he could say anything more, he heard a tall white man over there shout, "Hey, Jeffes, we should go!"

Hearing this, Shi Jun nodded apologetically at Zhuang Jianye: "I'm sorry, we have a joint meeting with the Thai side in the afternoon, anyway, you are also a bidding manufacturer, we have time to make another appointment." ”

After speaking, he carried his duffel bag and left Zhuang Jianye and the others briskly, walking in a chic manner.
