0251, this is the biggest insult to me
"The City of White Jade!"
Wu Yunpu's eyebrows raised.
The chief really didn't say wrong, Lin Chao, this kid is toothpaste, squeeze out a little.
He smiled and asked:
"What do you think, Mr. Horton?"
"Fack, Fack!"
Horton cursed angrily in his heart.
According to the inside information, Huaxia's research on Semi Di has been at a standstill.
It was not until nearly two months that attention began to be taken into account, and the most important collection at the moment is only a page of the "Golden Book." ”
Who knows, less than an hour after getting off the plane, someone mentioned the "City of White Jade".
"True or fake?"
His mind was in turmoil.
At this time, Lin Chao said something in English.
"This is the greatest insult to me!"
These words came from the mouth of Robert Gates, former Secretary of Defense of Citigroup
In 2009, this gentleman once predicted that "Huaxia will not be able to build a fifth-generation aircraft before 2020." ”
Almost everyone in the world, even most of the Chinese people, believes it.
And some of those who take "special funds" are even more ecstatic.
"Don't think about it, Huaxia can't build an integrated cockpit"
"Institutional Problems Are Doomed to Fail to Build Advanced Fighters"
"Zhang Juzuo told the truth, Huaxia can't build a new fighter"
A certain foreign magazine, a guy known as "Master Ping", even threatened that "if Huaxia's fifth-generation machine can go to the sky before 2020, he will stop publication." ”
For a time, the major military forums were filled with strange voices.
Countless people put on the faces of experts and mercilessly attacked China's aviation industry.
Who dares to say "Huaxia is good," can be chased and scolded by them for a few streets.
At that moment, many military fans had an illusion.
The place where I am is is not my country.
This continued until December 22, 2010.
On the same day, in a military forum with a popular "shock post".
Someone posted a post titled "A Model That 15-Year-Old Army Fans Don't Recognize" and broke out a photo.
The plane above is indeed different from any previous fighter.
It has a double tail, canard wings, and an unusual livery.
For a time, the major military forums became hot.
However, most of the Chinese military fans have been numbed by various spoofs and ps.
Almost all of them are skeptical.
But then a new photo appeared in the forum, showing the silhouette of the fighter jet.
But it's rather vague and can't tell the real from the fake.
On December 27, a well-known community in China appeared in a traditional Chinese post.
"The so-called "Chengfei fourth-generation aircraft" is still PS, let's wash and sleep! 》
There are a lot of pictures in it to prove that the so-called advanced fighter is PS.
It's a guy with Citi's F22 fighter jet, spliced out in sections.
There are even people below waving flags and shouting, mocking military fans.
"Take a fake photo and you'll be overspending Russia!"
During the quarrel, many people overlooked one thing, Robert Gates is about to visit China.
The calendar book was changed to 2011.
To the disappointment of the general public, there were suddenly fewer photos of the new aircraft.
On the contrary, those slanderous posts appeared in large numbers on major forums.
All kinds of vests jumped up and down, and whoever said good things about the new plane would immediately be besieged by the group.
It was in this atmosphere that a post popped up.
"First flight on January 7th"
There have been a lot of predictive posts before, but they have all failed.
So, its appearance did not attract much attention.
However, many people still believed it, and the main topic of the day was:
"On January 7th, I went to Chengdu."
It was easy to look forward to that day, and countless people were waiting outside the airport.
Early in the morning, the new plane was towed out by the car and placed on the runway.
Everything is suggesting that it may be going to make its first flight.
While everyone was waiting, there was an additional post on the forum.
"Don't fly today, let's go back!" 》
Soon, there was another noise inside.
Some people even let out words to smash the landlord's dog head.
As time passed, the hope of the first flight gradually faded.
At this time, a faint voice came.
"The weather is bad today, don't fly, everyone hurry up and get on the bus!"
The disappointed crowd poured into the post again, cordially greeting the landlord's family.
For the next two days, the new plane often went out for a walk.
However, it was at best gliding on the runway and showed no signs of taking off.
On the evening of January 9, Robert Gates flew to Beijing on a military plane to begin a three-day visit.
Many people immediately linked the two events and declared that it was a demonstration to Citi.
The ridicule of the new plane on the Internet is getting louder and louder, and some people first judge that the plane cannot fly based on the attitude of gliding.
Then, some people said that this was an empty shell, fooling outsiders.
Then, on the basis that the new aircraft is a model, the strange saying of painting was added.
But officially, as always, there is no explanation.
The days passed, and January 11 arrived.
As usual, the new aircraft is undergoing various tests on the runway.
Gliding, accelerating, opening the parachute, there is no sign of take-off.
At 12:03, a person with a "special allowance" posted a post in a well-known community.
"Stupid x has been obscene day after day, this toy plane still can't fly, poor! 》
Because the new plane did not take off, almost no one dared to answer.
Just when everyone thought that today was still the same as usual.
Two Boeing 737 planes arrived unexpectedly!
It's just that, thinking of the events on the 7th, the audience can't be sure whether the new plane will make its first flight.
At 12:43:25, the engine test run of the new aircraft.
The canard wings and tail began to rotate dramatically.
The vent of the engine is still expanding and contracting.
This is still completely different from the usual action, and the audience outside the stadium did not find it unusual.
At 12:47, the new plane entered the runway.
Just when everyone thought it would be taxiing again, the new plane turned off the ground.
At this time, it was 12:50 Beijing time.
After a few seconds of silence, the whole country was boiling.
The forums exploded, with countless posts appearing every second.
The servers were quickly overwhelmed, and moderators had to dictate that replies must be in the specified posts.
But that still doesn't work, the number of posts is still growing like crazy.
In forums large and small, those who manage can only frantically delete posts with the same content.
In addition to the joy, the military fans felt that something was missing, and they began to sweep away those who sang the praise.
One of the most unlucky is a certain small vest, just 2 minutes before takeoff, he just made a wave of mockery, who knew that he turned his head and was swollen with a blue nose and swollen face.
For a time, all kinds of hostile forces were mourning.
Only some people on the other side did not want to admit defeat and PS photos of the new plane being hoisted by helicopters.
This proves that the Chinese side is bragging again.
In the midst of all the disturbances, Robert Gates was ignored again.
It was only in his later published memoirs that one read about his mood.
"This is the greatest insult to me!"
However, Horton was a little confused, what was the meaning of the other party's words?
"Are you sure we won't be able to catch up in 50 years?"
Horton didn't dare to speak again, just shook his head vigorously there.
I don't know if he said "no" or denied what he just said.
Wu Yunpu waved his hand.
"Go to the Citi Embassy."
