Chapter 437: Let's Ask for Help, Marshal Moder
In particular, the low-cost airlines of later generations, such as Southwest Airlines, Air Asia, Spring Airlines, and Southeast Asian low-cost airlines, can also be imitated and used.
Because these low-cost airlines mainly operate short-haul routes with large passenger traffic, most of them take off and land at secondary airports, and sometimes do not provide additional services such as free meals to reduce some unnecessary expenses.
In particular, Southwest Airlines, the originator of the "low-cost airline" business model in the civil aviation industry, has made rapid profits and developed in the context of the declining American aviation industry with a low-cost strategy.
So in the end, Chen Yanlong put Southwest Airlines' business model to provide passengers with their service needs: low fares, reliable and safe, high-frequency and convenient flights, comfortable cabins, travel experience, first-class frequent flyer programs, smooth terminal boarding process, and friendly customer service.
At the same time, he also exchanged a large number of Boeing 737-200 series aircraft used by Southwest Airlines.
Because the 737-200 aircraft appeared in the civil aviation transport market in 1967, but it is more popular in the market than the 737-100 aircraft.
Of course, for Chen Yanlong, it is best to exchange for the Boeing 737-700 aircraft of the 90s, or more advanced Boeing aircraft such as the 737MAX-7, 737MAX-8 and 737MAX-9 after 2011.
It's a pity that because of the exchange restrictions of the mobile phone system, the weapons and equipment exchanged for weapons and equipment that are too out of the times, so Chen Yanlong has no choice, and now the mobile phone exchange will be temporarily stopped for two months because of the automatic control of new weapons and equipment last time to destroy the huge aircraft carrier fleet of the US military.
As for the small number of Boeing 707 four-engine long-haul jets that were previously exchanged, the main market use is long-haul trunk lines.
The DC-8 passenger plane has a wider cabin and can fly across the Atlantic without stopping, so Chen Yanlong plans to use it on domestic routes.
In response to Chen Yanlong's sudden visit, the directors and managers of various high-level positions of Lufthansa, as well as the chief executive of the German Lufthansa, hurriedly prepared a warm welcome atmosphere and venue in their Frankfurt to welcome Chen Yanlong.
Of course, they originally wanted to hold a grand welcome ceremony for Chen Yanlong at the headquarters of Cologne, the fourth largest industrial city in Germany, but Chen Yanlong did not agree, so they could only be in Frankfurt.
After a few words of greeting with Lufthansa, he asked them to take him to Frankfurt Airport, Lufthansa's hub, where most of the Lufthansa pilots, ground staff and flight attendants live in Frankfurt.
When I first arrived at Frankfurt Airport, the Lufthansa executives and directors thought that Chen Yanlong's purpose was to visit their airport and the type of aircraft.
Therefore, the senior staff of Lufthansa immediately exhibited the best and latest Dornick, Heinkel, and Woolf planes in their company, and prepared for Chen Yanlong to have a good visit.
Who knew that Chen Yanlong's purpose was not to see these old planes at all, but to let Kesselring send pilots to fly those 737-200 planes that had been exchanged for mobile phone systems, and DC-8 passenger planes, as well as Boeing 707 four-engine long-range jet transport planes.
When these planes landed at Frankfurt Airport according to the time that Chen Yanlong had arranged first; All the Lufthansa executives, as well as the directors, were shocked and shocked.
They couldn't believe that Chen Yanlong would be so generous and send them such an advanced plane to use it to experience the aviation business.
In this regard, they all thanked Chen Yanlong with grateful, and agreed to give Chen Yanlong 50% of the shares, so that he could meddle in Lufthansa's business experience and personnel transfer.
"Practice the use of these planes well, and you must do a good job in civil aviation for me and the people of our empire; Earn a little more money and add to the development of our civil aviation. :
Chen Yanlong looked at the 737-200 aircraft and DC-8 passenger plane that he had redeemed, and said happily.
"Yes! Monarch! ”
All Lufthansa executives also hurriedly agreed.
Seeing this, Chen Yanlong was also very satisfied, and discussed with them that Lufthansa was about to be acquired as a state-owned enterprise; and future experience development strategies, and management, as well as reward issues.
And on the Eastern Front at this time, it was not calm at all.
Soviet tank armies are usually equipped with more than 600 tanks and more than 200 assault guns, and each army group has a strength of 100,000 or more.
Moreover, these army groups also have complete artillery units, which are combined with a number of arms.
At this time, Moder, who had already fought with the Soviet army on the Dnieper River and fought for more than a week, and his Ninth Army, the 2nd Army Group; and the 503rd Heavy Armored Division and other troops, which have been crippled by a third of the large-scale Soviet army led by Zhukov.
"Marshal Moder! The casualties of our troops are getting worse and worse, and a third of the officers and men have already been killed; If we continue to fight the Soviets on the Dnieper, I'm afraid we will suffer more casualties! ”
"Shall we now ask the Führer, and Marshal Manstein, for reinforcements?"
On the battlefield under fire, at Moder's operational command, Chief of Staff Everfeldt was worried.
"Let's call for help! Now the matter of losing face is much more important than the serious casualties of the troops! Marshal Moder! ”
It's just that they waited for a long time, and they didn't wait for Moder to respond, so the chief operational staff officer John couldn't help but interject.
And the chief of operations staff John, also nervously, waited for Modell's reply.
