Looking at the turboprop-powered A-1 Skyraider attack aircraft in the sky like a nimble swift, Elliott Richardson's expression was like a ghost: "Where did you find such a veteran?"

After all, he was a former deputy secretary of the Pentagon, and even if he hadn't eaten pork, Elliot Richardson had seen a lot of pig runs, and he knew too well what the real level of pilots who could fly at this level in the sky was.

Thinking of the salary and bonuses he had given Barry Hamp before, Chen Geng smiled slightly, and did not answer Elliot Richardson directly, but asked him: "The price is indeed not cheap, but what do you think?

"It's not bad," Elliot Richardson shook his head with emotion: "If our pilots have this level, I can rest assured that I can take orders boldly." ”

"This guy is the last batch of A-1 'Sky Raiders' pilots," pointing to the "Sky Raiders" in the sky with three speed brakes fully open and rushing straight down to the ground in an upside-down posture as if out of control, Chen Geng said: "After all the 'Sky Raiders' were retired, he flew the A-7 'Corsair II', and has been serving as a flight instructor in a civilian aviation school since he retired, what do you think of letting him serve as our fleet tactics instructor?"

"You said this guy flew over 'Skyraider' and 'Pirate II'?" Hearing Chen Geng say this, Elliot Richardson became more and more surprised: "You're not kidding?"

Chen Geng did not speak, but shrugged.

Elliott Richardson groaned, and after a moment, he said with a straight face: "If this is really what you said, he can not only be the tactical instructor of our squadron, but also one of the senior commanders of the wing...... At least as the main object of observation. ”

According to the plan discussed before, the defense contracting company should not only be equipped with a turboprop version of the A-1 "Sky Raider" attack aircraft, but also equipped with four to six L-39 jet trainer planes, four to six Mi-8 general-purpose transport helicopters, and three to four Y-12 light fixed-wing transport planes There was only one squadron, and the other planes added up to about one and a half squadrons, and these planes were full of calculations, and there was almost a super-formed wing.

So, to feed such a large team, Elliot Richardson, as the company's CEO, has a lot of pressure on his shoulders, and he has to find a way to find enough jobs for the company.

"I think so too," Chen Geng nodded: "Let's see if this guy is worth cultivating first." ”

The two looked at the "Heavenly Raider" in the sky for a while, and Elliott Richardson suddenly spoke: "Dude, you have to speed up." ”

Chen Geng raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"

"Michael Roy has already said hello to the relevant authorities, and in 10 days, we will have 12 'scrapped' A-1 Skyraiders, each of which will cost about $30,000," said Elliott Richardson. ”

"So quickly?"

Chen Geng was a little surprised, all of a sudden, it was 12 "scrapped" A-1 "Sky Raiders"? The Americans played the same routine6.

As for the question of why the "scrapped" A-1 "Sky Raider" attack aircraft has reappeared on the battlefield - is it not allowed for others to repair the scrapped aircraft?

"A lot of people are waiting. Elliot Richardson said with a smile, he didn't say who was waiting for what, but Chen Geng couldn't guess it.

“OK。 Chen Geng nodded: "Leave it to me." ”

"Also," Elliot Richardson continued, "some of the navigation systems, the identification of friend or foe, the radio systems, the infrared decoy systems, and the chaff systems that were removed from the aircraft graveyard would also be destroyed in a centralized manner due to poor storage, so ......"

Speaking of this, Elliot Richardson squeezed his eyes at Chen Geng: a disgusting look of "you know".

"Understood!" Elliott Richardson had said this, what else could Chen Geng say? He nodded: "Within a month, the L-39, Mi-8 and the corresponding pilots will definitely be in place." ”

As for Elliott Richardson's ability to buy 12 A-1 "Skyraiders" at a price of $30,000 each, while he had to spend tens of millions of dollars to buy L-39 trainers and Mi-8 helicopters, Chen Geng has no meaning of psychological imbalance at all: he can buy a "Skyraider" for $30,000, that is Elliott Richardson's ability, and he doesn't have this ability, so he can only buy L-39 at a unit price of $3.5 million - don't think it's unfair, this is actually the fairest deal.

Defy?

If you don't accept it, you can also buy a "Skyraider" for $30,000 to try.

"OK," Elliott Richardson was satisfied with Chen Geng's answer, looked around, and even though there was no one around, he lowered his voice: "Good news for you." ”

"Oh?"

"I've found a job for our air wing," Elliot Richardson whispered, "After our flight wing is formed, we can go to the no-fly zone in Iraq and Bosnia and Herzegovina to patrol the no-fly zone." ”

Go to patrol the no-fly zones in Iraq and the no-fly zones over Bosnia and Herzegovina?!

Chen Geng's eyes widened, he raised his thumb, and said to Elliot Richardson sincerely: "Elliott, I am now sure that it is a correct decision for you to be the CEO of the company. ”

What is a no-fly zone?

This is actually a very fucked up decision, a group of bastards and hooligans run into other sovereign countries, saying that the volley over your country, from here to here, this airspace, your planes, including military and civilian aircraft, are not allowed to enter, as long as you dare to enter this airspace, Lao Tzu will shoot you down.

This is a hooligan, this is obviously our airspace, why don't you allow us to enter?

But the reason why a hooligan is a hooligan is because he is such a hooligan: Lao Tzu just won't let you in, if you come quickly, I will beat you! If you don't accept it? If you don't accept it, you hold back! If you have the ability to win, I'll talk about it.

However, Chen Geng will not feel sorry for the Iraqis and Bosnia-Herzegovina, he is full of only one thing: in the past, the US military and NATO used F-16 fighters to patrol the airspace over the Iraqi no-fly zone and the Bosnia-Herzegovina no-fly zone, and now they don't have to consume precious airframe life and fuel, so how much money can the company make with just such a single order?

Of course, Elliott Richardson can win this business, and all links up and down must be indispensable, but being able to win this business is Elliott Richardson's ability.
