Forming an airline in the name of the military?

Chen Geng understands what Wolfgang Meidong meant: If Chen Geng leads the army to set up an airline together, you can purchase MPC-75 planes for your own airlines, and then you will have an order for an airplane, and with an order for an airplane, the Federal German Government will be able to provide you with a loan, and won't the problem of funding be solved?

If you feel that just pulling the army is not enough, you can even find a few more partners to work with. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Is that possible?

Seems so.

If I remember correctly, such as Shandong Airlines, Jiangsu Eastern Airlines and other provincial first-class airlines directly under the provinces were established in a short period of time in 93 and 94, and the army is not impossible to take this free ride, by the way, there is also the navy, the navy has not been worried about the lack of funds, let themselves help them think of a way to make money? This method is not bad, although I am not sure how much profit there is every year, but as long as there are no problems in management, you can have a stable income every year, and I believe that the navy will not refuse.

As for the attitude of the deputy minister who was opposed to the MPC-75 project, well, there are still a few veteran commanders and generals still alive, and this is a major matter involving the interests of the army, and perhaps they can be invited to come forward, and if we can invite a few veteran commanders in the army to help speak, it should not be a big problem......

The more he thought about it, the more Chen Geng felt that this thing could be done, there must be difficulties, it was originally 6 airlines eating cakes, and this time there are so many people who want to come in, the original six vested interests before must be unhappy, well, Shangfei and the deputy minister are not expected to be happy, but it is not that there is no chance at all.

Although he felt that this was indeed a good opportunity to save the MPC-75, the more this happened, the calmer Chen Geng's expression became: "Mr. Mei Dong, there are only six civil aviation companies and one general aviation company in China, and the procedure for establishing a new airline is extremely cumbersome, and it takes at least four or five years just to go through the procedure, but this is not the most important thing, the point is that the unit with the final approval power is very likely to not approve the ......."

Looking at Wolfgang Meidong and the others, Chen Geng said in a deep voice: "For such a long time, can MBB wait?" ”

"Of course!"

The Germans had obviously discussed it a long time ago, and as soon as Chen Geng's words fell, Wolfgang Meidong said without hesitation: "As long as the whole thing is going smoothly, there will be no problem at all." ”

Chen Geng nodded, noncommittal, and asked: "So what about the other Chinese shareholders of the MPC project now, such as Xifei and AVIC Science and Technology Corporation, how do you explain to them?" ”

"The MPC-75 project is now on the verge of closure, and if a strong partner can be introduced to promote this matter, I believe that Xifei and China Aviation Technology Corporation will be happy to see this matter." Wolfgang Meidong once again gave Chen Geng an affirmative answer.

"You mean you're sure you can do their job?" Chen Geng bowed his head slightly and said, "Very good, now it's our question: first, how much stake can Runhua Industrial occupy in this?" Second, what is the patent ownership of the MCP-75 and the various models derived from it? Third, in the future, can the MPC-75 be expanded into a special flight platform? ”

"Mr. Chen, what do you mean by that?" Wolfgang Meidong's face suddenly changed: "What is a special flying platform?" ”

"There is a price to pay for mobilizing the military to escort our project," Chen Geng licked his lips: "For example, can this aircraft be transformed into an anti-submarine patrol aircraft?" Can it be converted into a special electronic reconnaissance aircraft? And other military aircraft for special use? ”

"This can't ......" As soon as Chen Geng's words landed, Wolfgang Meidong screamed: "This is absolutely impossible!" ”

"There's nothing to talk about." Hearing Wolfgang Meidong's words, Chen Geng didn't hesitate for even half a second: "Your Excellency, Mr. Hawke, Mr. Meidong, I am glad that you are willing to discuss this issue with me, but unfortunately, in my opinion, we have unbridgeable differences on this project. ”

Break up without a word? Chen Geng's resolute attitude in this matter made the three of them directly dumbfounded.

But just let Chen Geng go?

They can't bear it!

Although Chen Geng did not express it clearly, how could the three of them not see that Chen Geng's attitude just now was actually a silent expression of his attitude towards this matter: he could promote the project to continue.

For the Germans, the MPC-75 project is too important, although they are one of the core members of Airbus, but for the Germans who are proficient in machinery, not being able to build a large jet has always been a thorn in their hearts, and they simply do not look down on the small regional jet with only 50 seats, otherwise they would not have climbed the MPC-75 from the original 50 seats all the way to the current 100 seats, and even the 134-seat MPC-75-200.

What is the concept of 134 seats? This is a mainstream narrow-body trunk aircraft of the same grade as McDonnell Douglas-82 and Boeing-737, and the ambitions of the Germans need to be talked about? It's all obvious.

Ursula Hawke hurriedly said, "Mr. Chen, I think it's ......."

"Mr. Hawke, I don't think there's anything to talk about on this issue," Chen Geng shook his head, his attitude was extremely firm: "This point is the basis for whether we can continue to talk, and the foundation is gone, so we don't have to talk about it." ”

Chen Geng's resolute attitude made Ursula Hawke and the three of them feel very troubled!

Chen Geng's meaning is very clear: The MPC-75 must have the right to be converted into a military and special-purpose aircraft; considering Chen Geng's status as an officer on active duty in the republic, his attitude can even be regarded as representing the attitude of the republic's military to a certain extent, and at the same time, it is also the key to gaining the republic's military's supportive attitude in this matter -- the military must not interfere in politics, and this is an iron law in any country, so it is difficult for the military to speak in the matter of the MPC-75, but if this involves the interests of the military, That's another story.

"Oh, yes......"

At this time, Chen Geng made another request: "The three of you all know what I was doing in the Soviet Union, right?" If our cooperation can be reached in the future, the engine must give priority to the use of engines produced by our Runhua industry. ”

"It can't be!" Wolfgang Meidon's face changed suddenly: "The engines of the Soviets are much worse than the European engines in terms of reliability, fuel economy, and noise level......"

"But Soviet engines are cheap," after a pause, Chen Geng added: "And it's produced by us." ”

"That's not going to work either! If the engine of Soviet technology was used, the plane would not have been sold at all. Wolfgang Meidon's attitude was also resolute: "And the thrust of the NK-8 is a bit too much. ”

Compared with the 75KN thrust class engine that MPC-75 is going to use, the thrust of the NK-8 of the 100KN thrust class is indeed a bit large, and the most important thing is that the economy is also a lot worse, Chen Geng thought for a while, and said: "In this way, let's take a step back, put the engine we produce in the engine candidate list, and use ours if the customer needs it." ”

Well?

How smart a group of old foxes are, Chen Geng's words made them subconsciously think more: Could this be what the military of the Republic meant? If there is no restriction on the use of MPC-75, it means that the advanced engine from Europe is likely to enter service with the army, which is definitely not the situation that the Western world wants to see, and the Western countries prohibit the advanced aero engine from the West from being installed on the special MPC-75 modified by the army of the Republic......

Well, it must be like that!

Having said this, although Chen Geng didn't say anything, the three German devils were very excited: for the MPC-75 project, which was pinned on by the German government and German industry, this period was undoubtedly difficult, and MBB was even ready to give up MPC-75, but Chen Geng's appearance gave them a great surprise: MPC-75 still has a chance!

――――――――――――――――――――

"Comrade Chen Geng, do you mean that the Germans hope that you Runhua Industrial can participate in the MPC-75 project?" Comrade Li Xueshan, deputy political commissar of the East China Military Region, suddenly became serious.

"As far as I'm observing, yes." Chen Geng replied loudly.

"You put forward a request to the German side to be able to develop the MPC-75 into a special military aircraft?"

"Yes."

Li Xueshan frowned and was silent.

The generals in the room whispered something to the comrades next to them, but no matter what Chen Geng was talking about, the information he brought back brought a huge shock to the generals present.

As soon as Chen Geng got off the plane, he was taken to the Ministry of National Defense by the military staff who were waiting at the airport; at this moment, this small conference room was full of people, including representatives of the East China Military Region, representatives of the state security department, and representatives of the army's discipline department and government departments.

However, the news that Chen Geng brought back was too sensational, and it was just that the Germans invited Runhua Industrial to join the MPC-75 project, and Chen Geng actually asked the Germans to give the Chinese side a request to convert the MPC-75 into a military special operations platform.

Before, the military did not mention this request, but as soon as this request was put forward, the Germans were killed, and the military was dead, I didn't expect Chen Geng to repeat the old words, and I didn't expect the Germans to consider it carefully? (To be continued.) )
