Philip stretched out his index finger and shook it, and said with a smile: "You're right, but let's not forget, there is another partner, Sweden's Bofors company, to be pulled in, and the tripartite cooperation can be a win-win situation!" ”

Messerschmidt slapped his thigh, stood up and said, "Yes, I almost forgot about such an important matter!" We're going to have to get Bofors to invest in this project. At present, BFW only has the M20 transport aircraft project, and the liquidity is really not much, plus the bank loan can only squeeze out a maximum of 1 million US dollars, and it will be invested in batches. What about the Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing Company? ”

Philip thought for a while and said: "This jet engine development project, the cycle is relatively long, not to mention more than a year, with our current business situation, although the torque conversion propeller is a great success, but the sales unit price and profit is not high, the turbocharger will be the same in the future, and the Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing Company also has the M40 transport aircraft project, so at most 500,000 US dollars will be squeezed out." ”

Messerschmidt mused, "In other words, we still have a shortfall of at least $3.5 million. In this way, is the proportion of our funds too small? ”

Philip nodded and said, "Yes, it's better to be able to borrow some money from the bank." I'm going to try to figure out how to get a loan from the bank when I go back, but it's definitely not too much. ”

Messerschmidt said: "BFW itself has a high debt ratio, and all the investments of Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing Company are borrowed from banks, and it is almost impossible to obtain further loans at present. Well, I'll go with you to Stockholm, you go apply for a loan first, and then we'll go to Bofors together and talk to Karl, the old fox. ”

Philip thought for a moment, stood up and said, "That's all it takes, when are we leaving?" ”

Messerschmitt raised his hand and looked at his watch, and muttered, "Without further ado, let's leave tonight, and we can probably go to Stockholm tomorrow morning." ”

The next morning, the two rushed to Stockholm, and Philip went directly to Anderson to ask for his help, while Messerschmidt stayed at the hotel and waited for Philip's good news.

Philip is going to surprise Defense Minister Anderson again this time, and I want to believe that he will not be unmoved by this project at all, you must know how huge the potential of jet engines is, most people do not know, but Anderson, as the defense minister of a country, it is impossible not to know.

Philip was already a celebrity in the arms world, and now almost everyone in the Department of Defense recognized him, so he soon met Anderson.

When Anderson saw Philip coming in through the door, he laughed and got up from the couch and said loudly, "Come, Philip, come and sit here." You're a rare guest of our Swedish Ministry of Defense! ”

Philip walked over quickly and met Anderson's enthusiastic hands, the two hands clasped tightly, and Philip sighed: "Yes, I have been very busy these past few months, and I should have come to visit His Excellency the Minister a long time ago!" ”

After the two sat down, Anderson asked the secretary to pour hot coffee, and then said to Philip: "Philip, I know that you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, is there something very important to come this time?" ”

Philip took out the jet engine master plan from his bag, handed it to Anderson, and said calmly: "Your Excellency, you can take a look at this first. ”

Anderson's eyes fell on the paper with the overall plan of the Wind and Thunder Jet Engine, like a magnet was attracted, the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, and after reading the overall plan, he said quite seriously: "Philip, did you make this overall design plan?" ”

Philip nodded and said, "Yes, Your Excellency. What do you think of the overall design of this jet engine? ”

Anderson's eyes were like a torch: "I've heard of jet engines, it seems that an Englishman is working on them." Are you sure that the design indicators above the scheme can be met? Can this jet engine really be developed? ”

Philip confidently said, "I promise it's all true!" Although the piston engine is still in rapid development, but everything is booming and falling, because the power of the engine is proportional to the cubic of the aircraft's flight speed, with the further improvement of the flight speed, the engine power is further increased, the weight of the piston engine also increases rapidly, to a certain extent, it can not meet the requirements of high-speed flight, on the other hand, the efficiency of the propeller will drop sharply after the flight speed is greater than 700 kilometers per hour, both of which will limit the increase of flight speed. In order to improve the flight speed, just as the aviation pioneers abandoned the steam engine, the piston engine was abandoned in favor of a more powerful and lighter aero engine, and the jet engine is the best power scheme. ”

Andrein said in surprise: "Are you saying that with the installation of this jet engine, the aircraft can fly at a speed of more than 700 kilometers per hour?" ”

Philip smiled indifferently and said, "Not bad! If the thrust is large enough, the aerodynamic shape design of the aircraft meets the requirements, and it can even exceed the speed of sound propagation, and it is not impossible to reach more than 1,000 kilometers per hour and more than 2,000 kilometers per hour! You can imagine how useful it is in the military! ”

Anderson wondered, "That's true. So what are you here for? ”

Philip smiled: "I came here for you this time!" Our Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing Company is ready to cooperate with the German BFW company to jointly develop jet engines, as well as jet trainers, and is ready to bring Bofors Company in, but the cost of developing jet engines is very high, we have calculated that at least 5 million US dollars are needed, and our current funds are still that part of the difference, so I want to borrow a part of the money from the bank through you. I'm sure you'll support this project, right? ”

Anderson laughed and said, "Yes, of course I do!" Philip, you've blown my mind away, and this jet engine is beyond my imagination, I don't know what other surprises you'll have for me. However, after the development of this jet engine and jet aircraft, it will be sold to the Swedish government first, right? ”

Philip also laughed and said, "Your Excellency, our Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing Company is under the jurisdiction of the Swedish government, and of course we have to serve the government. The jet fighter of the future could make the Swedish Air Force one of the most combat-ready in the world. Moreover, after our Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing Company grows, it can also provide more tax revenue for the government, isn't it? ”

Anderson said, "Okay! I'll help you find some loans, but I want you Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing Company to do your best to make a greater contribution to the Swedish defense industry and prioritize the development of advanced aircraft for the military, which should be no problem, right? ”

Philip nodded and said, "I promise!" The products that the Swedish army got from the Dragon Soul Aircraft Company will be the most advanced and reliable products! Only when the country is stable, can our company have a good development environment! ”
