Chapter 167 Operating Aircraft

Looking at Kong Yuling, who was like an angel possessed, Liu Yun suddenly felt that she was very strange, maybe she had never really understood, or maybe everyone who engaged in religion was a little neurotic, especially this Kong Da beauty, who seemed to be a British Templar, and madness was her job.

But crazy for him, Liu Yun was both emotional and moved, so he hugged Kong Yuling tightly and muttered, "Silly boy, there are some things about men, you won't understand, fighting has always been a matter between men, since you are an angel, you must be a good angel."

Miss Kong seemed to be a little weak, so she was no longer strong, and said quietly, "Yicheng, I am for your good, do you think that once the enemy knows, you will have an illness on the mail ship, and then you will be both civil and military, what kind of thoughts, don't they have curiosity."

Liu Yun was also shocked, thinking about it carefully, Kong Yuling's words are not reasonable, curiosity is the greatest original sin of human beings, even if he really has martial arts, he can't stand the pondering of people with a heart, once he knows that he has alien technology, I am afraid that although this world is big, there is no place for it.

After Liu Daguan figured it out, he still told Kong Yuling that if he can not kill people in the future, he will not kill people, since ancient times, there is a famous saying "those who kill people, Heng kills", when killing others, you must be ready to be killed, he doesn't want his beloved Miss Kong to suffer misfortune in the future.

At this moment, Kong Caishen snorted coldly, and broke up the two mandarin ducks who were making out, Kong Yuling knew that her father had something to say, so she handed Liu Yun an encouraging look, and then quietly left, but Liu Daguan stood tremblingly, unable to say a word for a long time.

Kong Caishen didn't speak, just gestured with his eyes and asked Liu Yun to go with him, Liu Daguan had no choice but to go to the study, and just sat down in the guest seat, he found that Minister Kong handed over a telegram, which was sent by Lao Jiang, about the Sino-German United Airlines.

The content is simple and clear, without any difficulty, but Liu Yun doesn't understand what Minister Kong's move means, and Kong Caishen didn't shy away from it, and went straight to the point, "Jiang Weizai, I originally planned to let people go to Europe and the United States to have a look, but in the past few days, I have come to discuss the matter of the passenger plane with you."

Liu Yun suddenly understood, it seems that the Flying Bear II transport aircraft has a lot of stimulation to Lao Jiang, and even laughed a little, if Lao Jiang saw the Flying Bear III., what would be the reaction, so he got back to the point and asked softly, "What does Uncle Kong Shi mean, and does he already have the intention to order."

"Uncle Kong Shi", Kong Caishen couldn't help but be stunned, his eyes rolled, he seemed to be very angry, and immediately asked angrily, "Your relationship with Yuling today, you are embarrassed to call me Uncle Shi, do you want me to wait until you give birth to the child before I hear you call Dad."

"Giving birth", Liu Yun felt that the whole person was not good, and even a little crying and laughing, what was the matter, I really wanted to find Jiang Weizuo to complain, sue Minister Kong for fabricating charges at will, and ruining people's innocence for no reason, but when I thought of Kong Yuling, who was in tears, I had to pinch my nose and admit it.

Although Liu Daguan was very aggrieved and sad in his heart, he had to be careful to laugh on the surface, for the happiness of Miss Kong, this black hat had to admit it, so he said with a smile, "Please forgive me, it is Yicheng who is ecstatic, and he forgot about it for a while, and it will not be wrong in the future."

Kong Caishen let him go, so he returned to business, one by one the situation of overseas passenger planes, roughly said, airlines are also new in foreign countries, Britain, France, Germany and the United States technology has been relatively mature, at present, even Japan and the Soviet Union are still being studied.

The United States is the most representative of these countries, among which United Airlines, Trans World Airlines, and American Airlines are the most prominent, and most of them use Boeing Aircraft Company, Douglas Company, and Lockheed Corporation passenger or transport aircraft.

Liu Yun is also a Rin, he is no stranger to these companies, Global Airlines is a little miserable, in the future in 2001, it was acquired by American Airlines, and due to the poor management of Douglas Company, it was reorganized twice in 1967 and 1996, and was finally acquired by Boeing Aircraft Company, as for the other four in the 21st century, it is still the enduring hegemon of the American aviation industry.

American Airlines, which is a combination of 82 small airlines, will still be one of the four giants of the global aviation industry in the future, and United Airlines, the earliest commercial airline in the United States, began air mail flights in 1926, and is slightly better than American Airlines in the 21st century.

Boeing Aircraft Company is even more prominent, as early as 1916, in the 20s of the 20th century, it is already the United States aircraft manufacturing industry, one of the top giants, the production of P26 fighter in 1932, but also opened the prelude to the monoplane fighter in the 30s, known for its large output, fast speed, and excellent comprehensive performance, and still played a certain residual heat during World War II.

But the glory of Boeing has just begun, in 1934 it was split into United Aircraft Corporation (now United Technologies), Boeing Aircraft Company and United Airlines, the Boeing 247 and Boeing 307 passenger aircraft in the 30s are not to mention, it is a milestone in the aviation industry, as for the well-known Boeing 747 and Boeing 777, it is still a matter after World War II.

During World War II, Boeing was most famous for its bombers, with the B-17 nicknamed "Flying Fortress" and the B-29 "Super Flying Fortress", which were not only the main aircraft of the U.S. Air Force to carry out strategic bombing, but also served as the mission of dropping atomic bombs at the end of World War II.

Lockheed, born in 1912, mainly seaplanes, and almost went bankrupt in the twenties, although it was not very famous in the 30s, but it is still not to be underestimated in the aviation industry, in early 1934 with the L-10 twin-engine transport aircraft, overnight fame, in 1937 produced the P38 Blitzkrieg, in the early days of the war, is the only type that can contain the Zero fighter.

Lockheed is really famous, or after 1991, especially in 1995 renamed Lockheed Martin, it became world-famous, the representative works are the 1966 SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft, the 1981 F117 stealth fighter, and the world's best-selling F16 fighter, as well as the representative of the fourth generation of stealth fighters, namely the Raptor F22 and Lightning II.F35 fighters.

Of course, in the 30s, if you purely talk about the performance of passenger aircraft, or Douglas company is slightly better, by 1935 has three mature transport aircraft, namely DC-1, DC-2 and DC-3, especially DC-3, since its advent in 1935, a total of 13,000 units were produced, during World War II, the US military ordered 10,000 units, creating a myth for civil aircraft.

Therefore, Kong Caishen first came up with the information of DC-3, with a wingspan of 28.9 meters, a length of 19.63 meters, a height of 5.18 meters, an empty weight of 8.03 tons, a maximum take-off weight of 12.7 tons, a maximum speed of 346 kilometers per hour, a cruising speed of 266 kilometers per hour, a ceiling of 7070 meters, a range of 2420 kilometers / 563 kilometers (full load), can carry 21-32 passengers, equipped with two 1200 horsepower piston engines.

Liu Yun looked at the information of the DC-3, it was a little self-conscious, when it came to hardware facilities and engine performance, it was actually similar to the Flying Bear II transport aircraft, but when it came to the practicality of the aircraft, and its comprehensive performance, the DC-3 transport aircraft could even compete with the Flying Bear III transport aircraft.

Why is this happening, Liu Yun racked his brains and pondered, and he didn't even hear the words of Kong Caishen, and when Old Man Kong's face was about to turn black, he really figured out the original reason, the Flying Bear series of transport aircraft, focusing on range and speed, as well as the performance of air combat.

The transport aircraft of the Flying Bear series should be accurately positioned as a combat transport aircraft, or a multi-functional bomber, which can really be compared with the upcoming B-17 bomber, so without thinking, he said, "Yes, it will be a combat transport aircraft in the future."

Kong Caishen, who wanted to be furious, was also stunned, "combat transport plane", what kind of aircraft is this, why hasn't he heard of it, is it very hanging, before he could speak, Liu Yun had already begun to explain, "It is usually used as a transport plane or passenger plane, but when the war breaks out, it will be changed to a bomber."

Seeing that Minister Kong seemed to understand or not, Liu Yun further explained, "The biggest advantage of this kind of aircraft is that it is a combination of war and peace, and pilots are easy to transform, which can greatly train fighter pilots, and with the development of United Aviation, no one can guarantee that Japanese devils will not attack passenger planes or transport planes, so this kind of civilian aircraft will also have a certain self-protection ability."

Minister Kong now understands everything, and his heart is also moved, Liu Yun's words are still reasonable, China and the Japanese devils have been fighting for four years, and friction occurs in North China from time to time, not long ago Lao Chiang went to Sichuan under the pretext of exterminating the Red Army, and deliberately created a situation where he was not in Nanjing, the purpose was to let He Yingqin and Umezu Mijiro secretly sign the humiliating "He Mei Agreement (1935)".

The content of the agreement was to let the Nanjing government ban anti-Japanese groups in Hebei and their anti-Japanese activities, so this agreement was a disguised renunciation of sovereignty in North China.

It is well aware of the ins and outs of the "Hemei Agreement", high-ranking officials such as Kong Caishen, who have long known that China and Japan will have a big war, and the "Tanggu Agreement" in 1933 has allowed the Japanese devils to extend their claws to North China, and the newly signed agreement has led to the fall of North China, but although China is big, there is no way back, and the next time the friction resumes, it is when the Sino-Japanese war breaks out in full force.

Therefore, it was indeed a wise move for Liu Yun to consider the issue of combining war and peace and the issue of training fighter pilots in the Sino-German joint aviation matter, and Kong Caishen also greatly appreciated it, so he hurriedly asked Liu Yun how to choose the airline's operating aircraft.

After Liu Yun pondered for a while, he cautiously asked, "The matter of the aircraft seems simple, but once it is involved, it is necessary to consider all aspects of the problem, such as manufacturing and maintenance technology, pilot training, and certain political factors, and the most important thing is to entrust yourself, what does he mean."

Kong Caishen smiled slightly, but he smiled very strangely, and even deliberately lowered his voice, and asked quietly, "Yicheng, haven't you thought that your Sichuan West County Aircraft Factory will undertake the operation of United Airlines' aircraft, which is a big business, and its rewards are particularly rich."

It turned out that Lao Jiang meant that the aircraft should be made by Huaxia itself, Liu Yun immediately understood, but for the sake of long-term consideration, he had to reluctantly cut his love, so he explained with some self-deprecation, "I founded the West Sichuan Aircraft Factory, and the situation is clear, and the performance is average."
