After the reorganization of the core leadership of Raptor Airlines, except for the replacement of all security personnel with Zhang Meng's subordinates, other departments have not been adjusted. Instead, because Zhang Meng invested $10 million, the company was able to quickly bring in the most advanced equipment, jishu and cutting-edge talent in Europe to build their dream aircraft.

The reason why advanced equipment and jishu were imported from Europe is because in the first Shijie War, the few aircraft of the US military were all European designs, such as the French SPADS.13 and Nieuport17.

In the 20-30s between the two wars, European aviation Jishu continued to lead, especially Germany and Great Britain. Although the United States formed the National Aviation Advisory Committee (NACA, the predecessor of today's NASA) in 1915 and also invented the engine enclosure and variable pitch propeller, in terms of the field of fighter planes that represent the frontier of aviation, the American aviation Jishu even lagged behind Japan, so that at the time of the Pearl Harbor attack, the United States could not surpass the Japanese "Zero" fighter on the Jishu.

The fighter represented the frontier of aviation jishu. In the 20-30s, the domestic fighter market in the United States was small, and the batch of fighters of aircraft companies was only a few dozen. In 1924, only 80 of the more than 1,400 aircraft in the U.S. Army Air Corps were fighters. The U.S. fighter market in the '20s and '30s was largely shared by Curtis and Boeing, with its biplanes, open-cockpit like convertibles, and fixed landing gear that could not be retracted became the standard model.

This aircraft standard is already in the ranks of Europe that should be eliminated.

In this case, if a small and medium-sized aircraft company like the Raptor wants to break the monopoly of Curtis and Boeing, and wants to open the American market beyond them, it must bring in more advanced jishu, equipment and talent from Europe.

Zhang Meng knew that even without his participation, Martin, MacDonald, and Bell would do the same, and in ten years, they would surpass Curtis and Boeing in one fell swoop and become the top aircraft manufacturing company in the United States and even in the whole of Shijie.

Zhang Meng also knew that the fighters, bombers and helicopters designed by these people in the future would be shocked, breaking the monopoly of Curtis and Boeing on the United States during World War II and becoming the main aircraft manufacturing company of the US Air Force, and has been dominating to become a Shijie-class aircraft manufacturing company for a long time.

Now Zhang Meng has included them in the Raptor Airlines, the purpose is to let them enter the role in advance, avoid detours, and become the strongest help for the Tang Empire Air Force to dominate Shijie in the future.

In terms of introducing advanced European aircraft manufacturing jishu, Zhang Meng pointed out the direction for them.

Zhang Meng knows that the current leaders in the field of shijie aviation are the United Kingdom, Germany and Japan. These three countries are far ahead of other countries in terms of aircraft design and manufacturing, as well as engine development and production. Before World War II, Shijie's three best fighters were the Spitfire from the United Kingdom, the BF-109 from Germany, and the Zero from Japan.

The Japanese are good at absorbing the advanced jishu of the West, and when they surpass their teachers, they will never tell them about the advanced jishu.

Especially aviation jishu, the Japanese have long been aware of the importance of aircraft in future wars, and they built Shijie's first standard aircraft carrier Fengxiang in 1922, which shows how much they attach importance to the aviation field, and they take the United States as the main imaginary enemy, so it is impossible for Zhang Meng to obtain aviation jishu from Japan.

Although he can't get the key engine of the Japanese plane, Jishu, I believe that as long as he prepares in advance, it is not impossible to defeat the Zero fighter in the future.

Therefore, Zhang Meng was not discouraged, but actively guided Martin, the general manager of Raptor Airlines, to go to the United Kingdom and Germany in Europe to negotiate with Rolls-Royce in the United Kingdom and the Bavarian aircraft factory in Germany to introduce their aircraft design and aero engine core jishu.

Among them, the Gray Falcon 63 water-cooled aero engine produced by Rolls-Royce in the United Kingdom and the S.6 racing aircraft design drawings designed by the famous aircraft designer Reginald Mitchell, as well as the DB600A aero engine core jishu of the German Daimler-Benz company and the aviation alloy aluminum material production and processing jishu of the Bavarian aircraft factory.

Zhang Meng knows that these jishu are the core key jishu of the future British Air Force's main Spitfire and the Luftwaffe's main BF109 fighter, these two World War II classified fighters with each other's advantages and weaknesses, if their advantages are concentrated together to develop a new type of fighter, then there will be no problem against the Japanese Zero fighter.

At the end of the twenties, flying back and forth over the Atlantic Ocean was undoubtedly a new and noble thing.

Although Martin was ousted from the position of boss, he found that his new boss did not seem to be ordinary rich, and he was not willing to be called by Zhang Meng's envoy to Europe to discuss business in person, but when he heard that there was a special plane for him to use, he immediately agreed.

Undoubtedly, even if Martin was the owner of the aircraft company before, he never enjoyed the treatment of the Boeing 247D as a business jet.

What a luxury!

That's right! Looking at the whole shijie, there are only a handful of people who use the Boeing 247D as a special plane!

He, Martin, is honored to be a part of it!

For a while, Martin thanked Zhang Meng for being his boss, which was so powerful.

He was accompanied by MacDonald and Bell, who were already happy as chief engineers, and were no less happy to be able to use the Boeing 247D as a business jet than if they were newly married to a cave house.

Of course, they didn't know how their boss Zhang Meng was feeling at the moment, he was in pain and happy, and the latter was temporarily greater than the former.

But Zhang Meng's dedication has paid off.

Martin, MacDonald, and Bell immediately began their work in Europe, negotiating with Rolls-Royce, Daimler-Benz, the Bavarian Aircraft Factory, and Reginald-Mitchell aircraft designers in accordance with Zhang's goals.

Among them, Daimler-Benz's DB600A aero engine engine core jishu, the Bavarian aircraft factory aviation alloy aluminum material synthesis and its production and processing negotiations were relatively smooth, because Germany at this time was under the strict supervision of the Versailles Peace Treaty, and the Weimar Republic did not dare to breach the contract, so it strictly controlled the major military enterprises in Germany, and strictly implemented the provisions of the peace treaty that Germany must not possess the navy and air force, and must not import and export weapons.

The German military industrial complex could not get orders from the military, which was already a heavy blow to them, and it was undoubtedly worse to restrict them from importing and exporting weapons, they had to secretly develop weapons and equipment under the name of civilian projects and carefully export them in exchange for foreign exchange, after all, enterprises are to make money to make profits, but unfortunately the powers have to add an additional 26% mandatory fee to them, so that their profits are almost zero.

In this case, the German military-industrial complex is undoubtedly about to be driven crazy, so it is undoubtedly a happy thing for them that someone is willing to buy their jishu. At the same time, Zhang Meng was willing to spend money, so the deal with the Germans was quickly completed. Mercedes-Benz's DB600A aero engine engine core jishu and the Bavarian aircraft factory's high-strength thin plate aviation alloy aluminum material production and precision die-casting processing jishu were finally transferred to Raptor Airlines at a package price of 3.45 million US dollars and 3.22 million US dollars respectively.

After dozens of rounds of long and repeated bargaining negotiations, Rolls-Royce finally decided to transfer the core jishu of the grayback falcon 60 water-cooled aero engine they developed to Raptor Airlines, while the Grayback Falcon 63 aero engine they are testing refused to transfer Jishu, but Raptor Airlines can buy the relevant production license.

To this end, Raptor Airlines spent an additional $600,000 to purchase a license for the production of the Falcon 63 aero engine.

However, the money was quickly recovered from the famous aircraft designer Reginald Mitchell, whose design drawings for the S.6 racing aircraft were originally determined not to be sold.

But what Zhang Meng wanted was never obtainable, so he simply sent the Blue Fox special service team to bring Mitchell and all his aircraft design drawings back to Chang'an, and put him under house arrest, and the S.6 racing aircraft drawings he designed were handed over to Raptor Airlines for detailed study by MacDonald and Bell.

A month later, Raptor Airlines came up with the design drawings of the company's first fighter since its establishment, which was basically in accordance with the requirements put forward by Zhang Meng, that is, it has the high flight speed, high cruising speed, high climb rate, and long-range performance of the future Spitfire, and also takes into account the powerful firepower of the future BF109 fighter, the monoplane with all-metal precision die-cast alloy aluminum shell, and the propeller aircraft that can retract the landing gear.

Since no prototype has been produced and has not been tested for flight testing, it is not known how it will perform.

However, Zhang Meng was very happy to name it the Raptor Bird.
