Chapter 0316 - A Feeling of Familiarity

Sunday afternoon, January 5, French time, in the study of the First Family Estate.

Ron continued: "Also in '92, perhaps because of the end of the Cold War, defense spending was drastically reduced, and GRU Aerospace took the initiative to send it to the door. Its main product is the obsolete Panda fighter, and the Super Hornet fighter jet developed by the Hochel Group is a replacement for it. It used to be the manufacturer of the lunar module in the Apollo program. GRU has a subsidiary that manufactures business jets called Bend Stream Airlines. Later, the aircraft production line of the Gelug company, including the production line of the Panda fighter, was sold to the Nopu company, which did not have civilian aircraft and helicopters, and the transport aircraft were still converted from AWACS aircraft. Also, Bend Stream Airlines was sold to General Power Company. ”

That same year, Miss Harold bought the Avery Engine Company, which was sold by the General Motors Company, which produced engines for airplanes and automobiles. ”

"At the end of '93, Miss Harold acquired Lohr International, which has nine divisions, Space, Aerospace, Defense E-Commerce, Electronics, Light Vehicle Parts, Heavy Vehicle Parts, Printing Presses, Valves and Instrumentation, and Industrial Automation. It mainly produces Lancer bombers, space shuttles and satellites, as well as heavy truck axles. The control and service modules of the Apollo program were produced, as well as the second stage of the Saturn V rocket, most of the satellites of the Global Positioning System, the third stage of the ICBM, and nuclear refining. It mainly operates semiconductor and radio products, where more than 50 percent of civil aircraft in Western countries use its radio products, in addition, it has a state-level research laboratory in Thousand Oaks, California. It involves cutting-edge materials, especially ceramics, infrared thermography, liquid crystal displays, high-speed electronics, human-computer interaction, multimedia systems, diagnostic systems, etc. Later, all of Lohr International's aircraft production lines were sold to Lohr. ”

In '94, Miss Harold bought the old Western Industries Corporation, which was later sold to the Decoo Group. However, now it seems that the Western Industrial Company has a plan to withdraw from the military industry, and has not gone to the military to bid again, and the products of the Huo Xiu Group include the original products of the Western Industrial Company, which should have taken away the patented technology, or the two sides agreed. The Western Industrial Corporation mainly produces nuclear reactors for the military sector, and the nuclear reactors of the current nuclear aircraft carriers are its products. In addition, it also has a part of the electronic aspects such as radar systems and optoelectronic systems, for example, it produces the fire control radar of the Battlefalcon multirole fighter of the Lord company. In terms of aerospace, before the 90s, it also participated in many space programs, manufactured many parts and components, and built launch sites and launch site frames for launch vehicles was also his strong point. In the civil aspect, large-scale electric power and electrical engineering, especially nuclear power engineering, it occupies a large market share. However, the nuclear power project has now been stopped. In addition, most of the research laboratories of the Western Industrial Corporation were handed over to the Decoo Group. ”

"After the Western Industrial Company, the Hugh Group did not carry out any more mergers and acquisitions. ”

"After Miss Harold took over the Hugh Group, she has participated in all of the U.S. space programs so far, and unlike others who receive money, the Hugh Group has directly sponsored more than $3 billion in funds. The National Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which was originally funded by the state and handed over by the Space Agency to the private Institute of Technical Research in California, was also directly invested by the Hoschel Group in the mid-eighties, and can now be regarded as a member of the Hoschel Group. The reason for this may be related to the '59 nuclear leak' lawsuit at Locke's Santa Susanna Field Laboratory. Soon after the Hoshua Group bought Locke, it exposed the matter, which involved the Space Agency, the Department of Energy, the California State and Lore International, and later the Hugh Group paid $1.5 billion in compensation for the matter. ”

After the Hoshu Group took over by Miss Harold, the new products that appeared were the fire control radar system No. 78, that is, the Longbow millimeter microwave radar fire control system, and the supporting Longbow Hellfire eight Hellfire missiles for Longbow gunships, which were improved from the Lord's quadruple Hellfire missiles, and the McGonagall XII jumbo jet. After evaluating these products, experts combined with other products of the Hoschel Group only improved, and did not change fundamentally, believing that the Hoschel Group has more advanced technology in its hands, and that he is controlling the speed of upgrading weapons, and the purpose may be that he does not want the US military to obtain more advanced technology. In particular, the appearance of the Longbow radar shows that the Hoohue Group can also develop similar products for other helicopters. Also, the Ho Hugh Group has sold all of its fighter lines, perhaps under development, or already has new fighters. ”

"There is a Hoxiu Technology Research Center in the desert base of the Hoxiu Group, we don't know anything about this place, and according to the name, it should be the integration of the technology of all the companies annexed by the Hoxiu Group and provide technical support for all other companies. However, it has not produced any results so far, and the direction of research may be theoretical science. Apollo Electronics may also be in it, and there is also a group of Russian scientists in it, and it is rumored that the Hoschel group took advantage of the chaos before and after the collapse of the Soviet Union to obtain a lot of technology, but it is not confirmed, but it is only shown a little. The Soviet Union had a program for the Space Shuttle Energy, including the An-225 transport plane that sent the Space Shuttle Energy into space, and the Energia single-stage launch vehicle using the RD-170 engine. In addition, in recent years, Russia's military industrial enterprises have turned into private companies, and experts believe that the Hosho Group should control part of it within the limits that the Russian government can tolerate, such as the Moore Shipyard, although it is owned by the Pacific Maritime Group, but it is absolutely not excluded that the Hosho Group participated. In this way, even if the Huo Xiu Group came up with the technology used at that time, it was difficult to tell whether it was obtained by those technologies back then or now. ”

"In addition to this Hohuo Technology Research Center, there are currently three large-scale research laboratories under the Hosho Group that can be verified to reach the national level, one is the original Hoshaw Laboratory, now called Hohuo Space Power Research Laboratory, and the research direction should be related to ion thrusters, nuclear engines and laser guidance. If we look at the acquisition of Western Industries, we may be working on projects such as thermonuclear fusion and the miniaturization of nuclear reactors. In the sixties, Western Industries was involved in a nuclear-powered rocket research project called Project Stray Dogs, hosted by Lawrence National Laboratory in Livermore, California, which is part of the Department of Energy. Also involved was the Elgert Aircraft Company, which, like Lockin, was in the rocket engine business, and Miss Harold had wanted to buy him, but the U.S. Department of Justice had not approved it. ”

"The other is the original laboratory of Lohr International, now called Hoschel Comprehensive Technology Research Laboratory, its research projects involve a wide range of achievements, but so far there has been no major scientific research results, the results appear in Michael Group, Degu Group, Guangmei Group and Hoshua Group. And then there's the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which has produced a lot of results, as well as some major scientific achievements, but these achievements are shared with the space agency and often fall into the hands of competitors. ”

In addition to the above four independent large-scale research laboratories, each company of the Hoschel Group has its own laboratory. At present, the Hochel Group has 15 subsidiaries. The first, the Hosho Space Company, mainly launches satellites, produces various satellite units or accessories, accessories for various spacecraft. It can produce all types of satellites at present, and is one of the world's major satellite manufacturers, since the beginning of the human space program, more than half of the satellites and spacecraft in space have been manufactured and launched by the Hoschel Group companies, and the rest nearly half of them are involved. Although it never built an entire manned space shuttle independently, experts assessed that it could, especially after the annexation of Lore International, to supplement deficiencies in valves and instrumentation. However, perhaps it could have been, and the acquisition of Lohr International was just a cover-up. ”

"The second, Huo Xiu Electronics Company, the main business is to help the launch of satellite customers design satellites and satellite ground systems, as the foundation and logistics of Huo Xiu Aerospace Company, it takes over the business of satellite launch, will design satellites according to the needs of launch vehicles and customers, and then hand over to Huo Xiu Aerospace Company for production and launch. At present, the launch vehicles available are Yutianshen 1 and 2 and two improved models, Julishen 2 and 3, Deerta 2, and eight official joint manufacturing versions, that is, the launch vehicles currently in service in the United States and mainly contracted by the Hohugh Space Company, which were inherited by the Kanger Company, Martinetta Company, and McGonagall Company respectively. In addition, the Hoshu Electronics Company has also participated in the US satellite positioning, tracking, and surveillance systems, missile defense systems, and so on. Experts assess that it is entirely possible for the Hoschel Group to design and build an entire launch vehicle using only the products of its own companies. ”

"The third, the Lockin Rocket Company, mainly manufactures engines and fuel for launch vehicles, as well as missiles. The main production of Lockin 25 cryogenic propellant engine, it is called the main engine of the space shuttle by the space agency, at the end of 92 appeared Lockin RD-170 series of low-temperature mixed propellant engines, they are the most powerful series of liquid rocket engines in human history, with a thrust of more than 1.7 million pounds, these two products account for nearly seventy percent of the market share, and the remaining share mainly belongs to the RD-180 low-room temperature mixed propellant engine obtained by Lord Corporation from the general power company, and its propulsion is only more than 900,000 pounds。 It was authorized by Russia in 93 years for use by General Power Company, and the Lockin RD-170 series was also licensed. They use Russian technology, high-pressure staged combustion cycle technology, as well as oxygen enrichment technology, but Locke's RD-170 series engines are manufactured in the United States, while RD-180 engines are assembled in Russia and sold by the Plake Corporation and the Russian state-owned enterprise Power Consortium. Experts deduce that Locke's RD-170 series engine technology is one of the technologies that the Hoxiu Group took advantage of the chaos back then, and Russia had to say that it had authorization for the sake of face, mainly because it was afraid that the Hoxiu Group would pass on all the technology to the Americans. As an auxiliary inference, there is also the McGonagall 12 large jet, which is based on the An-225 transport aircraft, and the An-225 was bought by Shi Feng Baoquan from Ukolan in 92, and McGonagall 12 appeared in 93, and it is impossible for Ukolan to provide too much technology, and it is a little difficult to develop it in a year, so experts deduce that the Huo Xiu Group has obtained complete information before, and it should have a certain disguise effect to buy An-225. Lockin Rocket Company also produces Lockin J-2T engines and other engines that are often used on the second or third stage, and has more than 30% of the market share, but this is after the annexation of McGonagall, it is used in the Deerta series, and it only has about 20% of the market share. The main opponents are the Plake Company and the Eljet Company, among others. Lockin Rocket also produces a variety of missiles, including the Immortal Bird long-range air-to-air missile, the Maverick short-range air-to-surface missile, the Tortoon anti-tank missile, the Harpoon anti-ship missile, the Tomahawk cruise missile, the Prison Advanced Medium-Range air-to-air missile, and the Longbow Hellfire missile. However, Lockin Rocket could only produce this Hellfire missile. ”

"The fourth, the Bendis Radar Company, is mainly engaged in radar systems, missile systems, including vertical launch systems and inertial navigation systems, as well as satellite positioning guidance systems, etc. The Hoschel Group inherited the products of the companies it acquired, and has expanded its products in the sea, land, Air three aspects are produced, especially in the fighter fire control radar system, Bendis Radar Company, or Hohugh Aircraft Company almost all the main fighter fire control radar system, now, the Panda fighter uses the upgraded No. 71, the Warhawk fighter uses the No. 63 and the expanded No. 70, the Fighting Falcon fighter uses the No. 66 and the derived No. 68, these two were originally Western Industries, the Hornet fighter uses the No. 65 and the derived No. 73, and the Longbow helicopter gunship uses the No. 78. In addition, the Hoshaw Aircraft Company once participated in the development of the Nopu Ghost strategic bomber, and later there was no news of the withdrawal of the Hoxiu Group, presumably the fire control radar of the Ghost strategic bomber was also produced by the Bendis Radar Company. ”

"The fifth, Martinetta Materials, whose main products are unknown, is speculated to be inorganic non-metallic materials, polymer materials and nanomaterials. In order to make up for the shortcomings of the Hoshu Group, it is speculated that it may produce materials used on the space shuttle, personal protective materials, and fighter stealth coatings. ”

"The sixth, Denloop Equipment Company, produces a variety of electronic equipment and systems, mainly used in aircraft, vehicles, ships and security, etc., for the Hohugh Group and the other three groups. Security products include building fire protection, door defense, security, a variety of testing equipment and personal self-defense items, which are also provided to Shifeng Security. ”

"The seventh, Tegu Tire and Rubber Company, which mainly produces aviation tires for the Ho Xiu Group and the Guangmei Group, is supposed to have come from this place for the unknown supersonic sports car and the Diamond supersonic tire. It also produces space suits and other space equipment, in which Martinetta should have been involved, and how much is not known. ”

"The eighth, Avery Engines, which mainly produces aero engines and braking systems and control systems, currently has only one turbojet engine with an afterburner of unknown type, which is installed on the Diamond supersonic aircraft, and without the afterburner, each thrust is about 50,000 pounds. ”

"The ninth, the Remendon Arms Company, from revolvers to sniper rifles, from submachine guns to heavy machine guns, the longbow gunship cannons are also produced here, which is an improved version of the giant pit chain gun. In particular, at present, it is best not to buy light weapons other than rifles, shotguns, and sniper rifles. ”

"The tenth, the Hohugh Helicopter Company, has a total of four production lines, producing Longbow attack gunships, Bird light attack helicopters, Pony light reconnaissance helicopters, Defender light multi-purpose military helicopters, tailless helicopters are one of the models. The current business is mainly to upgrade the Longbow 1 to the Longbow 4, and the Longbow attack gunship has long been sold. ”

"Eleventh, McGonagall Aircraft Company, which has three production lines, produces McGonagall 92 medium aircraft, McGonagall XII large aircraft, and McGonagall XVII transport aircraft. The sale price of McGonagall XII is three times the appraised price, and no other company has ever bought it except Guangmei Group. The McGonagall 17 transport aircraft had to be agreed by the military, and now it mainly produces the McGonagall 92 medium aircraft, which accounts for more than 20% of the regional airliner market. By the way, the engines of the McGonagall 92 and McGonagall 12 are GE85 series high bypass ratio turbofan engines of General Electric Company, which are specially developed for them and can only be used by the Hoschel Group, and the maximum thrust of the current model has exceeded 100,000 pounds. ”

"The twelfth, the Gru Aircraft Company, which is currently unknown, should be developing a new product, and the direction may be stealth aircraft. ”

"The thirteenth, Lohr Precision Automation Company, is involved in all automation fields, and the objects are mostly the Hoschel Group and the other three groups. The main military products are currently unknown, and it is speculated that they are robots, smart weapons, and drones that interact with human and computer systems. ”

"The fourteenth, the Connell Aircraft Company, currently has only one Diamond supersonic aircraft and four Connell Expeditionary medium aircraft. ”

"The fifteenth, the Sauconna Joint Industrial Company, is mainly engaged in four categories, one is mining and smelting, mainly non-ferrous metals, including coal for its own use. The second is construction, mainly civil engineering, and building materials for decoration, which are by-products of smelting. The third is manufacturing, mainly shipbuilding, and some heavy vehicles for self-use, as well as various self-used electrical equipment, including building appliances, household appliances, office appliances, etc. These electrical devices should be developed and designed by Denloop Equipment and manufactured by it. Fourth, environmental protection, mainly to deal with the environmental problems caused by the Huo Xiu Group. For this company, the expert assessment is that it can independently manufacture most of the civilian products on the planet and build most of the buildings, from ore to finished products, from sand to edifice. ”

Ron said: "The Hohue Aerospace Group is a complete heavy industry chain from civilian to military, and it is the most important card in the hand of the Good Mood Foundation. He added Degu Petroleum Group, Guangmei World Aviation Group, Michael Entertainment Group, and Pacific Marine Affairs Group, and this is the complete Good Mood Consortium. ”

The old man asked, "Have you assessed its assets?"

Ron said: "In addition to its own use, most of the products of the Hoschel Group are sold to other groups in a good mood, and it does not disclose information, so excluding unknown assets, the surface assets are about 200 billion US dollars, of which Saucona accounts for nearly half." ”

The old man thought for a while and said, "Forget it, for the time being, I can't think of whether her funds have been saved or used, so let's leave it at all." ”

"Yes, Father. Ron said. ……

January 6th, Japan time, morning, Rice Flower Town.

Yamazaki, Mei Daiko and Ran came to the gate of Teidan High School together, looked at the people around them, saw her coming, and immediately cleared out a place, Mei Daiko asked as she walked, "It's strange, why do I feel like I've experienced this scene?"

"You've been through it for years. From behind came the voice of the garden, "Let's go." ”……
