Chapter Forty-Eight: Someone from the Country

The concept of drones in China may not be very popular, but in the United States, drones are nothing new.

Before the Pentagon's large-scale merger of drone projects in 1988, the United States was in full bloom of drone research, and it was quite daring to spend money. In 1984 alone, in order to develop a fan reconnaissance aircraft called "Amber", the Pentagon spent $40 million at one time.

And this drone, called "Amber", is the prototype of the famous Predator drone of the future. But to say that its various data at this time, except for the battery life, there is no advantage to the simulation machine in other aspects. The so-called reconnaissance function is only an integrated photoelectric sensor under the nose, and it can control a wide range by relying on the US military's data link system, but it is not necessarily more advanced in technology than Hu Wenhai's design.

The U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force all have their own UAV development plans at this time, and the number of UAVs in service is already quite large. But they can't all use their precious drone hours to train pilots, and there is always a blank slate on the drone trainer program.

The order for a hundred UAV trainer aircraft seems to be a lot, but in fact it is only a drop in the bucket for the US UAV troops. Normal armament cannot be produced and used as much as possible, and 20% of these hundred UAVs may be used for combat readiness in order to replace them after losses before ordering.

The remaining 80 aircraft had to be rotated for maintenance and repair, so half of them had to be removed to be usable. The training capacity of 40 drones is two squadrons, which is really a bit insufficient for the faster front-line support simulation aircraft.

But then again, these 110 simulated planes are only $5.5 million, which is really drizzle for the Pentagon, and it is not distressing at all to throw them in a puddle.

If you don't believe it, look at the Jian-7 of the imaginary enemy squadron, China has never seen a fight about buying an aircraft before. In fact, the Pentagon even thinks that since this thing is so cheap, it can be applied on a large scale. Usually released by the front-line troops for battlefield control and reconnaissance, it can be completely transformed into a ** crash into the target at a critical moment.

Some people also think that it is not appropriate to import such aircraft from China, but after some investigation, they are embarrassed to find that if such aircraft are produced by American companies, the price of such aircraft will be at least ten times higher.

For the Sino-US honeymoon period in the 80s, the United States did not have the idea of containing China and being hostile to China. Since the cost has risen so severely, let's order from China first.

For Hu Wenhai, $5.5 million seems like a lot, but in his eyes, it is like that. On the one hand, this money can't fall into his hands, the foreign exchange must have been intercepted by the General Aviation, and the RMB income will also be stripped of the skin by the Xiucheng City Government and the military industrial system, and it is estimated that it will be enough to make ends meet in the hands of the 501 factory.

What's more, the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory here is doing experiments on small blue pills, and Hu Wenhai has become the richest man in China in minutes, so why should he care about the 5.5 million dollars that can't fall into his pocket?

So after he turned the situation back to China, he threw himself on the procurement business of the Loyer company. The procurement in these years is a technical job, not to mention that he is a Chinese, and if he does not pay attention to it, who knows if these Americans will lose all his underwear.

However, only two days later, Hu Wenhai suddenly received a call from his father, Hu Jiefang.

"Dad, why are you here?" Hu Wenhai was surprised to run to the JFK airport again, and saw his father Hu Jiefang and a whole group of Chinese, standing at the exit of the airport.

"Why, can't I come if you kid can come?" Hu Jiefang glared at him and sighed: "You kid can really toss, why did you get together with the people of the American ** team?"

"I mean, how do you get a visa? You forgot, I waited for a visa for half a month, you just finished calling the day before yesterday, and I arrived in the United States today, it's too fast!"

"I don't know what's going on, anyway, the country said to let me come, so I came. Hu Jiefang didn't know much about the procedures for going abroad, Hu Wenhai didn't say that he didn't know that he was going to be so troublesome, so naturally he wouldn't take this kind of thing to heart, and still asked tightly: "Tell me what is going on, why did you suddenly run out of such a big business, and the other party is still a member of the American ** team!"

Hu Wenhai said nonchalantly: "I'm just doing business seriously, one is willing to buy, the other is willing to sell, who is the person who cares about him buying things?"

"Hey, what do you know, the water is deep here!" Hu Jiefang dragged Hu Wenhai to the side, avoided people and said with an ugly face: "Americans' money is so easy to make? We make millions here, maybe people will earn tens of millions, hundreds of millions of foreign exchange!"

"What's the situation?" Hu Wenhai was really a little confused, and asked, "We do our business, how can we let them make money instead?"

"See?" Hu Jiefang secretly pointed to an obvious leader in the tour group and said, "That's Director Lin Qianjun of the General Headquarters, who came specifically for you......

The two of them were whispering in the corner, and they didn't know if Hu Wenhai's gaze touched the director Lin Qianjun, and he actually looked at Hu Wenhai at the same time. I saw that Lin Qianjun was about forty years old, tall and handsome in a suit, and there was no sign of his figure being out of shape.

Based on this appearance alone, I am afraid that no one will believe that this person is actually the director of the General Logistics Department, and it is almost the same as saying that he is a famous movie star. Yes, it's probably similar to Ken Takakura in "Manhunt".

"This is Comrade Hu Wenhai, right?" said Cao Cao Cao, when Cao Cao arrived, when he saw Hu Wenhai and himself looking at each other, Lin Qianjun simply walked over, stretched out his hand and shook him, and then said with a smile: "I have heard about you in China, Comrade Hu's ability is really nothing to say, you can make some achievements anywhere." ”

"Hey, he just can toss around, what kind of achievement is this?" Hu Jiefang is still the same old tune, and he definitely can't hear the words of praise for Hu Wenhai in his mouth: "I thought he came to the United States to relax and travel, and I especially asked Mr. Clark of Erkan Company to take care of him." Whoever thinks that if he doesn't say a word, he will let him cause such a big thing again!"

Lin Qianjun persuaded Hu Jiefang: "Comrade Hu, you don't have to have a psychological burden, this American money is not earned in vain, didn't you also say it in the organization, you just let it go! Our principle is to leave the sugar coating and the cannonballs to shoot back! What's more, hehe, the sugar coating inside may not be the cannonballs. ”

"Yes, our 501 factory will definitely guarantee the completion of foreign exchange tasks. ”

Hu Jiefang stood up and showed his loyalty categorically, and Lin Qianjun then sang and encouraged each other with him, and then turned around and left.

"Dad, what the hell is going on?" Hu Wenhai is now in a daze, how can a good business suddenly have someone from the rear to intervene? Even if he realizes the importance of the simulation machine, there is no need to come to the United States. Of course, it is not easy to travel abroad in these years, and perhaps the other side is just taking the opportunity to travel abroad......

"Let's go to where we live first. Hu Jiefang saw that Lin Qianjun was already beckoning people to get into the car, so he hurriedly pulled Hu Wenhai to follow. There was a secretary from the embassy who drove a car and was just able to load everyone in.

Hu Wenhai was also happy not to take a taxi, and followed the domestic "tour group" on the bus, all the way to New York City.

Waiting for the bus to get on the airport expressway, Lin Qianjun, who was in the front seat, greeted him, and the passengers in the car closed the curtains on the car one after another. Even behind the driver in front, there is a heavy black curtain opened, completely blocking the sunlight outside the car.

With the lights in the carriage lit up in broad daylight, Hu Wenhai was able to see things again. However, looking around again, I don't know when a large group of "travelers" have gathered around him.

"Alright, take it out. Lin Qianjun sat on the seat in front of him and stretched out his hand to look at Hu Wenhai: "Did you bring the photo that the Americans handed you over?"

"Brought ......"

At this point, Hu Wenhai suddenly realized that such a big fanfare in China was originally for the sake of the Su-27! Also, in recent years, we have just beaten up the monkey in China, and no one can figure out how the Soviet Union reacted at this time.

And the Su-27 is a secret to ordinary people, but it is impossible to be unaware of a country's national intelligence agencies. The data on the fuselage of the Su-27 was sent back to China on his side, and probably immediately fell into the eyes of the intelligence agencies.

The plane is about pedigree, and the Su-27 is of hairy bear blood, no matter how you look at it, and it cannot be a fighter of the US imperialists. That being the case, why would the Americans want ten realistic planes with obvious hairy bear blood?

The answer is about to come out, this is the shape of a new generation of fighters that the USSR has not yet announced!

It is not surprising that such important information alarmed a whole team of "agents". It's just that there is another question, why is it Lin Qianjun of the General Logistics Department who is leading the team, and not Lin Qianjun of the General Staff?

In those years, there was no General Armament Department, and the General Logistics Department was the chief steward of the PLA logistics department and a powerful unit with authority almost no less than that of the General Staff Department.

Wait!......

Hu Wenhai's eyes suddenly widened!
