"We talked all night about the bureaucrats, the guys who sat in the office blowing the air conditioner, how could they understand the hard work we put into making a prosperous society. Qi Lianshan looked out the window at the night sky that was already moonlit and said.

Sprewell nodded sympathetically, in Sprewell's opinion, at least those lawmakers on Capitol Hill who stood and spoke without back pain should all be dragged out to shoot targets.

"I have two more personal business ideas here, and Split helped me to see how feasible it is. ”

Qi Lianshan took the briefcase from the empty seat in the booth next to him, took out a document that looked like it could have dozens of pages, and handed it to Sprewell.

Taking the document, Sprewell said in his heart that it was finally time to get to the point, and the cunning Chinese finally made a request.

When he opened the paper bag and took out the document, the first thing that caught Sprewell's eyes was a 1974 copy of the New York Times, with the newspaper in bold bold and the headline "Spey, can you get the F14 fighter out of the hangar?" ”

Looking at the yellow newspaper clippings in front of him, Sprewell suddenly felt extremely familiar, in 1974, he was still a middle-aged man in the prime of life, and he was in charge of fighter maintenance at Grumman Airlines, and he was very familiar with the relevant departments of the US Navy, and he remembered this F14 fighter jet replacement case very well.

In the seventies, it was a very columsy era for the United States, when the Soviet Union, the sworn enemy of the United States, was entering its peak under the leadership of Brezhnev, not only in the ocean, the Soviet Red Navy and the United States for tat, but also the Soviet Air Force was invincible in the Eurasian 6. All of Europe trembled in the shadow of the backfire swarm.

With the exception of the atomic bomb, the Americans simply had no way to contain the all-round torrent of metal in the Soviet Union, which consisted of massive aircraft and tanks.

The United States, which had just crawled out of the quagmire of Vietnam, was physically and mentally exhausted, and after the anti-war wave swept away, the United States was in turmoil, the economy was in a severe recession, and the funding of the three armed services of the United States was drastically reduced.

Both Pratt & Whitney's existing TF3O series aviation motive and the next-generation F4O1 series aviation motive have exposed numerous Yan Zòng problems, and due to the poor reliability of the motive, the F14 fighter jets defending the American Sea are lying on their stomachs in large quantities.

In the face of this strict form, the US Navy, which was somewhat distraught, even threw the target of change to the Pratt & Whitney F1oo series used by its rival US Air Force.

Unfortunately, at that time, Pratt & Whitney's F1OO series motive and TF3O series were comparable in reliability. The U.S. Air Force faces the same number of problems with F15 fighters as the U.S. Navy. Coupled with the wave of opposition within the Navy to the "children's toys of the Air Force" climbing the deck of the navy, the matter of F14 for F1OO series motive had to be stopped.

For commercial organizations, the embarrassment faced by the US Navy is a rare business opportunity, and in the face of this situation, it is natural that the big gods and small devils have their own powers. After some unknown operations. Spey aviation motives, which had already proven themselves on the A7 attack aircraft of the Navy, entered the field of vision of the Navy.

After a period of careful evaluation. The U.S. Navy believes that although the Spey Air engine meets the Navy's requirements in terms of reliability, it is limited to the poor high-altitude and high performance of the Spey Air engine, and the original height of Mach 2.34 for the F14 fighter has been reduced to Mach 2.O1. Moreover, after entering an altitude of more than 5ooo meters, the F14 fighter with Spey motive is expected to increase the time by 29% compared with the TF3O motive.

This decline in performance is absolutely unacceptable for the F14 fighters, which focus on interception capabilities and create a long-range air defense umbrella for aircraft carrier formations.

Of course, the U.S. Navy in the 70s was extremely realistically faced with the threat of backfire from the sound of large aircraft groups, and after the collapse of the Red Navy, the Hornet, which was only Mach 1.8 and "flew slower than all the fighters established after the 60s," was still used by the U.S. Navy as the main force of the aircraft carrier formation air defense umbrella with its nose pinched.

In the face of the U.S. Navy's skepticism, Rolls-Royce, together with its partner Allison Motors in the United States, proposed an improvement plan for Spey's poor high-altitude performance.

Rolls-Royce and Allison plan to build on the existing power of the A7 attack aircraft, the American version of the Spey TF41, to create a high-thrust engine with afterburner capability, which will be used to compete for the F14 and A7 attack aircraft tone upgrades.

In the exhibition plan submitted by Rolls-Roy and Allison to the U.S. Navy, the F14 with the afterburner version of the TF41 engine will not only make the performance of the F14 fighter equal to the TF3O at high altitude, but also the reliability, bomb load, maximum range, and patrol time of the new F14 will be greatly improved.

The U.S. Navy was more interested in the new plan submitted by Rolls-Royce and Allison, and after paying nearly one million dollars for the project, Rolls-Royce and Allison Grumman jointly completed the replacement plan and project evaluation of the F14 fighter on paper.

In the face of Rolls-Royce's alliance with Allison, Pratt & Whitney and General Electric fought back, and both launched a new generation of modified aviation engines for the F14 change, Pratt & Whitney lobbied the Navy to accept the F1OO used by the Air Force, and launched an improved version of the F4O1B, and GE took out the F1O1 motor modification - F11O, which was used for the power system of the B1 variable-swept wing bomber.

The three power suppliers fought back and forth until the late seventies, which ended with the U.S. Navy choosing GE's F11O as the F14 fighter jet swap, and Pratt & Whitney and Rolls-Royce Allison swaps being dumped in the Grumman Aerospace waste.

Considering that China had acquired the full set of Spey Aviation motive technology from Rolls-Royce in the seventies, it was only natural for the Republic to make this request now, as a senior executive of Grumman. John Sprewell is well aware of the inherent flaws in the TF3O series' motivations.

The main use of the Tomcat in China is to patrol Nansha, and the other is to guard against the backfire group in the Soviet Far East, and the F14 is basically used as a road-based fighter in the case of a road-based high-power radar or an advance base early warning.

Due to the lack of high-intensity air defense tasks, after changing Spey, the high-altitude and high-performance of the F14 fighter will decline, and it will have little impact on the Chinese side in the case of the Immortal Bird missile as a means of strike, after all, the survival and reconstruction capabilities of the 6 targets are many times stronger than that of the fragile aircraft carrier.

On the contrary, after the replacement of Spey motives, the improvement of F14 fighter in terms of reliability and range has brought great benefits to the Chinese side.

Thinking of the advertisement for the plane named Jian-7 by the Republican side in the Hong Kong military magazine, John Sprewell secretly guessed.

As a qualified arms dealer. Sprewell is well aware that the motivation of Spey Airlines, which was introduced by the Republic, has a close relationship with Westflight.

Keep your look the same. Furui Wubo, Spreville turned over the newspaper clippings and the number of comparisons between the TF41 aviation motive and the Pratt & Whitney TF3O motive that followed.

The purchase of special aluminum, Sprewell's heart moved, and it seems that this should be the second request made by China Qi. Normally, this requirement should not appear here. Sprewell wondered.

Although there is a big gap between the aviation aluminum of the Republic and the United States in precision machining. However, in terms of the materials themselves, the gap between the Republic and the United States is almost none, otherwise how can the Republic be qualified to process large parts such as tails and wings of passenger aircraft for large passenger aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing and McDonnell Douglas.

Wait for Spreville to read the agreement to purchase aluminum in detail. couldn't help but admire Qi Lianshan's ability to behave in the world, and after only half of it, Sprewell had already confirmed that the second request made by Qi Lianshan was likely to be a bribe.

With a purchase price 3 times higher than the market price, the purchase of aviation aluminum with similar performance to the civil aluminum on the market, as long as the industry insiders know what it means to be tired and unexpected.

Seeing Sprewell close the information, Qi Lianshan said: "Splitley, in order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, these two agreements are in principle related ....... ”

As soon as Qi Lianshan's words came out, Sprewell completely confirmed that the latter purchase agreement was undoubtedly a bribe.

"We are very unfamiliar with the U.S. material market, Split has been focusing on the aviation industry for most of his life, and in the Chinese proverb to describe it as an old horse knows the way, I think Splitley's construction must have a heavy reference value. ”

"Of course, if Split has any high-performance patented aluminum recommendations, we will carefully consider Splitley's opinion. Qi Lianshan said unsatisfactorily.

Qi Lianshan's final procurement plan was entirely the work of Liang Yuan, and after the time entered a new era, a kind of commercial bribery that seemed very lofty began to prevail in the democratic and free world with the United States as the center.

Bribe-takers use the method of buying defective or commercially valuable patents at low prices, and then prescribing small quantities of specialized products, and then selling them to bribe-takers at extremely high prices, in order to reasonably circumvent the increasingly stringent anti-commercial bribery laws in the United States and the European Union.

This method of bribery has become popular all over the world since the beginning of the new century, and because Liang Yuan often deals with foreign companies, someone has mastered this very hidden bribery method almost immediately.

Of course, in the republic at that time, there were also high-level people with the same forward-looking vision as Liang Yuan.

At least Liang Yuan vaguely remembered that a director of the prefectural and municipal transportation bureaus of the Republic had sold his patents in large quantities to the transportation system of the city where he worked for profit, and the only pity was that this bureau chief, who had a great international vision, first faced the court that paid attention to the correct procedure, but the discipline inspection commission that paid attention to factual justice.

For an old fox like Sprewell, he almost immediately grasped the key point in Qilianshan's words, such as returning to China, casually making a kind of aluminum with excellent performance, acid corrosion resistance or alkali corrosion, and then establishing a personal company to export to China at a high price in the name of special aluminum.

Funds laundered through this proper procedure are simply legitimate income that can withstand any departmental investigation under current U.S. law.

The only thing Spreville needs to consider now is to determine who should be co-opted from within Grumman to share the equity of this new company engaged in the development and trading of special aluminum materials, and then send the F14 fighter jet exchange plan in Grumman's waste paper heap to China through the correct process.

"Qi, as an old friend, I am very happy to be able to provide reference opinions for Qi's company, and within half a month, there will definitely be definite news about the two things that Qi said. Sprewell swore by it.

"Haha, I was guessing when I came that Split wouldn't let down his old friend. Qi Lianshan said with a laugh.

For a while, the atmosphere in the private room was very good, and the relationship between the two who praised each other became more harmonious. (To be continued......)
