The car that came here with Zhang Lan. It is also subordinate to the General Armament Department, and the unusually dazzling numbers on the white military plate tell the audience along the way who saw this car very arrogantly: Master, you can't afford to mess with it!

Of course, the driver of this car is none other than Minister Cao's full-time driver, and when he goes to the military region below, he will definitely be regarded by the heads of various units as the place where the chiefs are served. Send his own full-time driver to meet Zhang Lan, and no matter what calculation Minister Cao is making in his heart, whether it is in line with the rules or not, at least this face-saving work, Minister Cao has done it very well!

Of course, since it is a special car for Minister Cao, who Minister Cao uses to pick up, it is also Minister Cao's freedom, even if they are dissatisfied, they can't say anything.

"Mr. Zhang, Miss Jill, the front is where the headquarters of our General Armament Department is located." Minister Cao's driver held the steering wheel steadily, and his face was slightly proud of the place where he worked.

"You're in a good place here." Zhang Lan looked at the surrounding environment and nodded sincerely. But it was Jill, the girl, who inherited the consistent impression she had left on others, did not speak, just nodded proudly, and signaled to the driver that she understood.

The General Armament Department is located in the Soajun Temple in Haidian District, Beijing, from the perspective of feng shui, the feng shui of this place is not good, but the guy who designed this headquarters at the beginning also made it clear that it is precisely because the feng shui of this place is not very good that it is necessary to use the murderous, yang and official spirit of these bigwigs in the army to suppress these guys.

The fact seems to be true, before the General Armament Department took root here, according to the older generation, there were some not very good things here, and the legend of ghosts and foxes was quite marketable, but since the General Armament Department enclosed land here, nothing strange has happened...... Of course, the official will never agree with this kind of statement circulated in private among the people.

Of course, as one of the four headquarters of the army, there are many units of the General Armament Department, and the units of the General Armament Department are everywhere in the capital, but this one in the Soojun Temple is the core of the Comprehensive Armament Department, that is, the so-called core headquarters of the General Armament Department, and as one of the four general headquarters, the General Armament Department is naturally in an environment that cannot be any worse.

"With a good environment, the leaders can work better." The secretary replied casually, this answer. It is also one of the standard replies of the guards, and everyone thinks so...... Well, although the scope of this group is indeed a bit narrow.

Is it? Zhang Lan nodded noncommittally, nonsense! Everyone wants to work and live in a better environment, who doesn't know that a good environment can make their work better? Still, huh......

While looking at the complex in front of him with a respectful and awe-inspiring expression, Minister Cao's secretary was also using the rearview mirror to observe the young man he had been ordered to pick up.

To tell the truth, when I saw from a distance in the airport that the person I was going to pick up was a young man of about 20 years old and an equally young and beautiful girl, and not some friend or relative of the minister, the driver, who had reached the rank of major at that time, was very surprised!

I couldn't help but wonder what the hell was the origin of these two, and I was able to ask the minister to personally arrange for myself to pick up these two people?

Mr. Driver knows his chief's relatives and the children of those chiefs' families in the capital who are above his ministerial level, and there is absolutely no such young man in these chiefs' families. But since the chief asked himself to pick him up, it shows that this guy is definitely not simple!

Who could it be? The driver pondered to himself. However, since the chief did not say it when he assigned the task to himself, the driver did not ask, as long as he remembered one thing, he would complete the task assigned by the chief. …,

However, when he saw Jill next to Zhang Lan, the driver suddenly realized in his heart: since it was an important real power figure of the Alice Group who was present, it made sense for the chief to send him.

Sure enough, it is one of the four headquarters, and the inspection of vehicles entering and leaving is very strict. Even the minister's car was inspected when entering and leaving, but the inspection process was not so rigorous. Seeing this, Zhang Lan nodded secretly, just rushing to this point, it means that these guys are still very powerful.

"Hello Miss Jill, hello Mr. Zhang," after the driver led Zhang Lan into a small meeting room, a colonel officer greeted him warmly after seeing the three of them, "The chief is in a meeting, there are still 10 minutes to end, please wait a while." Please sit down, um, just call me Secretary Yan. ”

Jill still inherited his cold image in front of the public, and shook hands with the Yan secretary gently. Secretary Yan, who knows the character of this little aunt, doesn't care, this little aunt and grandmother have such an attitude when facing their boss, not to mention their little secretary?

But despite this, Secretary Yan's face was still a little embarrassed, but fortunately, at least Zhang Lan was still here, and he made up for it a little, so as not to embarrass this guy too much.

"Hello Secretary Yan," Zhang Lan shook hands with Secretary Yan, "I'm sorry to cause you trouble." ”

"Where, Mr. Zhang is the big customer of our General Armament Department, I heard that you are coming, many colleagues of our General Armament Department are very eager to meet you. The products launched by your company have played a great role in our country's national defense construction. Secretary Yan said with a smile on his face.

"Being able to play a little role in the country's national defense construction is the greatest pride of our Alice Group." Zhang Lan was not poured down by this guy's ecstasy soup, "I think every Chinese person wants to contribute to the prosperity of the country." ”

"Of course, our country's national defense foundation is still very weak, and we need strong support from an enterprise like your group." Secretary Yan said.

Well? Zhang Lan suddenly became vigilant, ahh Do we strongly support national defense construction? What do those military-industrial enterprises and scientific research departments in your country do to eat? Is it okay to squat on the ground all day and watch ants go up trees? These guys, there is not a good thing.

Zhang Lan hurriedly excused herself, "Secretary Yan, you are joking, how can our company be compared with the country, the main force of national defense construction, or the state and those supply enterprises under the state, we just play a little auxiliary role in it." ”

Depend on! This little fox! Sure enough, it was slippery like a loach, and he refused to eat at all! Hearing Zhang Lan's words, Secretary Yan scolded in his heart.

Ya obviously didn't think about it, why do people fight to suffer your loss? This is also Zhang Lan is a little older now, and her temper is not as stubborn as she was at the beginning, so dare to give me a head meal? Boy, promise you that your little life won't be too easy.

Jill, the girl, sat quietly next to Zhang Lan. Watching this kid spread out his poisonous tongue to bully this poor Secretary Yan, I felt a burst of amusement in my heart.

The two chatted for a while, and seeing that they couldn't take advantage of Zhang Lan, Secretary Yan pretended to look at his watch and stood up with a smile, "Mr. Zhang, the chief has finished reading the meeting, let's go over." ”

Very disdainful pouting: What do you mean? Coming to see you today is considered to be giving you face, what, are you planning to embarrass me or what, as if I am still begging you to meet you.

Too lazy to meet this guy in general. Zhang Lan nodded, bored for a while: Why has it been so many years, and there has been no growth at all, and you still use this way to disgrace others? In any case, this minister is also one of Brother Hu's henchmen, and he should know very well my influence on Brother Hu and my treatment on Brother Hu's side, so why do you still engage in this trick. …,

The afterglow of his eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of Zhang Lan's disdainful expression, and Secretary Yan was suddenly shocked and slanted his mouth! Good boy, you are so horizontal that you are so disdainful that even the only few generals in China will meet you in the future!

As for Jill, he is still the same expression that Zhang Lan called "I owe you 300 yuan" before.

However, this poor Secretary Yan obviously didn't know that Zhang Lan had been hanging our Minister Cao for a week before, and if she knew, she would not have taken such an attitude towards Zhang Lan - although it is not something that needs to be kept secret, but in any case, it is still a bit embarrassing to say such a thing, Minister Cao naturally will not tell Secretary Yan that he personally called this little ancestor before, and this little ancestor has only made a slow decision to see him a week later, and what is his face and majesty?

"Zhang Lan, and Miss Jill, please be seated. Well, what do you want to drink? When Secretary Yan went out, Minister Cao seemed much more amiable, not only did he not have the slightest shelf of a top military boss, but he was warm and kind like a kind old man treating his favorite junior.

Others don't know, Minister Cao's influence on Zhang Lan is very clear and clear! For this master who doesn't even buy Brother Hu's account, put up a shelf in front of him? Well, if you don't think you're going to do what you want to do, then you can put up your shelves to your heart's content.

"Uncle Cao, don't bother," Zhang Lan stood up, although the attitude towards the driver and Secretary Yan was average, but in terms of attitude towards these elders, Zhang Lan still did quite well, "We are not thirsty." ”

"Hmm." Jill nodded and signaled to Minister Cao that he was indeed not thirsty, just like Zhang Lan said.

Minister Cao nodded and sat down opposite Zhang Lan in the small living room. The majesty of the general still has to be maintained, and the previous politeness can be understood as love for the juniors, but if others say that they will be hard if they don't drink water, then where will their general's face go?

"Zhang Lan," after both sides were seated, Minister Cao lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, and slowly opened his mouth, "In this way, I will say anything directly." ”

"Uncle Cao, if you have something, just say it directly." Zhang Lan nodded, I didn't plan to ink with you for too long, staying with you for a long time will make me feel like a little old man.

Minister Cao took out a small box from under the coffee table, and one of the glasses in the box caught the eyes of Zhang Lan and Jile.

Zhang Lan was stunned, because he was very familiar with these glasses, which were glasses with three-dimensional projection function that Alice Group gave to the military for testing some time ago. But what does this guy mean by coming up with this thing now? Could it be that he has his eye on this technology? It's not impossible.

"That's right, after analyzing the pair of glasses sent by your Alice Group, we think that the eyes have a great value for Junfan, now I want to ask, can this glasses be integrated into the pilot's flight helmet, and some of the main flight data can be integrated on this display, and can be operated with the pilot's vision, and has the function of aiming and shooting with the direction of the pilot's gaze, so that the pilot can automatically control without leaving the joystick with both hands, Are there any problems with these? ”

"No problem," Zhang Lan nodded, but there were some doubts in his heart, if he came to himself just for this little thing, then this minister's time would be too worthless, right? What the hell is he going to do with a lot of words? "Uncle Cao, with all due respect, don't you already have the helmets on the SU-27 and SU-30 fighters that we are using now? Although it is true that our technology is more advanced than that of the Russians, it seems that the military does not have this need? ”…,

"That's right, the Russians do have this kind of technology," Minister Cao nodded and admitted, "but your technology is undoubtedly more advanced, and it is also the next generation of display technology that is being fully researched in the world's military display technology, not only for helmets, but also for cockpit displays." If this technology is also used in the cockpit display system, it will undoubtedly greatly reduce costs and improve ease of operation. ”

It's as simple as that? Zhang Lan didn't believe it.

"There is no problem, Uncle Cao asked the relevant departments to provide us with a detailed description and requirements, and we can make a few sets for you to try first, and see how the comrades of the Air Force react to this new display technology." Zhang Lan nodded, responded, thought about it, and added, "The analysis and evaluation department within our group believes that this technology has a certain auxiliary role for the special operations forces, and some corresponding special operations equipment is being developed. ”

Just to ask Minister Cao to personally ask himself for this face, the second point is to be said. You can't let people open their mouths for nothing, right? Not a lot of words

Sure enough, hearing Zhang Lan say this, Minister Cao nodded with satisfaction, "There is another thing, what is the level of technology of those aircraft you showed at the Singapore Air Show before?" What is the annual production capacity now? ”

"There is no problem at all in terms of technology, but the production line has not yet begun to be arranged, and all the models on display before are produced in the laboratory state," there is nothing to hide from these things, and Zhang Lan has no intention of hiding from anyone, and said frankly, "If the military plans to procure, well, I recommend purchasing the tiltrotor with a counter-propeller fan engine first." ”

"Huh?" Minister Cao was a little curious and waited for Zhang Lan's words. It's just that there is still a trace of disappointment in his eyes that quickly crosses by.

"It's very simple, multi-functional," Zhang Lan spread his hand, "I personally think that this model is currently the most appropriate model for China, multi-functional, multi-purpose, for the current technology is not very advanced for the army, this fighter is enough for them to study for several years." Other models, although the technology is indeed very advanced, but the price is too high, if there is less, it cannot form an effective deterrent, and if there is more, it may not be affordable. ”

"If the country intends to purchase fighter jets, it must take into account the international implications. In order to balance the interests of all parties, we at Alice Group will inevitably sell this fighter to other countries. ”

The meaning of Zhang Lan's words is already very clear, the sensitivity of the multi-functional tiltrotor is not so high, but the effect on improving the combat effectiveness of the army is very obvious; If you plan to purchase fighter planes, not to mention how long it will take to build combat effectiveness, the key is that fewer fighters will not play a big role, and if there are more fighters, price is an important factor, and international influence and public opinion are another factor.

If the fighter equipped with this system is sold to China, it will inevitably be sold to other countries in a balanced way, but the international pressure faced by the country at any time is much greater, which is not in line with the development strategy of "peaceful rise" and "taoguang and obscurity".

Minister Cao gently patted the armrest of the sofa, thinking about all aspects of it, there is no doubt that the domestic military intends to purchase this aircraft from the Alice Group, and it is indeed for this "weapon universal application system". Speaking of which, which country is interested in this fighter is not going to this system, which can be called against the sky?

However, after thinking about it carefully, Minister Cao also had to admit that what this kid said made sense, he was a little anxious, although the technology of the fighter is very good, but it is not very suitable for the domestic and foreign environment encountered by the domestic military, for the military, the tiltrotor with a load capacity of 10 tons is indeed the most in line with the requirements of the domestic military, the only regret is that the load capacity of this aircraft is really small, if it can hit the load of 20 tons, it will be perfect.

20 tons, that is now one of the important indicators of the world's main military tactical medium multi-purpose transport aircraft, the domestic Y-8 improved multi-purpose transport aircraft, the United States C-130 "Air Hercules" medium tactical multi-purpose transport aircraft, the A400M medium-sized tactical military transport aircraft that Europe is working hard to develop, and the An-70 medium-sized wide-body tactical military transport aircraft that Ukraine will soon equip and so on, the maximum carrying capacity is ...... this tonnage.
