Chapter 171: Counterattack

Seeing that the time was almost ripe, Albert chose to have a direct showdown with these military-industrial giants, he pointed to MacDonald who was standing on the very edge and said, "I have a friend who happened to deal with some big people in the Department of Defense, and he also learned some things from the mouths of those big people. It is said that McDonald & Co. made a political donation of $23,500 and $14,200 to a congressman, hoping to get the congressman to blow the wind so that the Department of Defense could buy another batch of F2H-2 Banshee fighter jets, which is considered a political scandal, right? If it is announced to the media, I wonder if the MacDonald Company will become the focus of public opinion in the United States? ”

The MacDonald Company did have a bribery scandal in 1950 because of the F2H-2 Banshee fighter, but due to the lack of relevant evidence, it was just a matter of not being resolved. And this time, Albert directly obtained evidence of MacDonald's bribery through the connections of the Smith family. In the unscrupulous style of the Smith family, in order to expand the American market, they will definitely deliberately bring down a number of American companies, so that they are tired of running between the court and the company, and they cannot focus on business, and MacDonald is just a way to get rid of them.

"You!" MacDonald gritted his teeth with hatred, what Albert said was indeed the truth, since the other party could tell the specific figures, the evidence in his hand should be enough to destroy the political connections that MacDonald & Co. had painstakingly managed for many years. Thinking of this, MacDonald was a little frightened, and after thinking for a moment, he lowered his noble head and said tentatively, "Your Highness Albert, I know what you are thinking. I choose to quit this game and no longer intervene, how do you like to play it, how to play? I only ask you to lift up your noble hand and not ruin everything that I have. ”

Seeing that the other party had softened. Albert accepted it as soon as he saw it, and did not force him to the point where the dog jumped over the wall, "Okay, as long as you choose to quit, I won't embarrass you." ”

MacDonald exhaled like a catastrophe, turned around and said to Lockheed with a slight apology, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lockheed, I choose to quit, from now on Macdonald has nothing to do with everything you do." So you play slowly. After saying that, he left a group of people in despair, and left alone in embarrassment.

Egit and Kindberg looked at each other, they didn't expect the alliance of four to be easily broken by the other party's words, and the expression of Lockheed led by him was even more difficult to see, he said coldly, "What other means can you use, do you think I will accept defeat so easily?" Just because you're a Macdonald doesn't mean the three people left can't handle you. ”

Albert spread his hands and said in a pretended helplessness. "Of course, even if one of you leaves, the remaining three people who have been operating in the United States for many years can eat me to death."

Then Albert turned around and said to Egwitt bluntly. "But as far as I know, Boeing also has some secrets that can't be said, not politically, of course, but business."

Egwitt chuckled inwardly, and he thought carefully about how he had not bribed the councillor recently. Boeing, which had been heavily indebted to sell the B29 Super Flying Fortress, did bribe some officials of the War Department, but these people had already retired. It's impossible to find out.

"What a noble person forgets things." Albert vaguely pointed out the Boeing scandal, "Probably the president of Agiwitt is a bit of a noble person who forgets things." Let me remind you that Boeing's attempt to develop the B47 stratojet was ...... in 1945 when Germany was defeated."

"Shut up!" Egvette directly interrupted Albert's words, and his sudden outburst startled everyone, and the president of Boeing in front of Albert at this time was like an angry lion, staring at Albert with fierce eyes, as if he was about to rush up and tear him to pieces. Seeing that the situation was not good, Kalashnikov stepped forward and stopped in front of Albert, staring at Agivet vigilantly, "What do you want to do?" ”

Kalashnikov clenched his fists, he was also a veteran of World War II, although his skills were a little regressive, but in the face of pot-bellied capitalists, he had the strength to fight ten. Egit was also shocked by Kalashnikov's fierce aura, and immediately froze.

Albert is indeed telling the truth, after the defeat of Germany in May 1945, Boeing engineers found swept wing aircraft drawings and wind tunnel research data in the German Institute of Aeronautical Technology, so Boeing proposed that the wing adopt a 35-degree sweep angle on the basis of the Germans' data, and proposed a scheme to install 6 jet engines to design the B47 stratosphere jet, but those data were not obtained by engineers from the research institute, but from other companies through some improper means. This includes materials stolen by Lockheed and General Power, the darling of the Department of Defense. Therefore, Albert's mention of this matter at this time is equivalent to making Boeing a target to attract firepower in the United States.

"I can opt out, in exchange, and I just hope that His Highness Albert doesn't leak this." Gilvet didn't even apologize this time, just glanced at Albert with a little hatred. He directly withdrew from the four-man alliance, and now only Kindberg and Lockheed are left. Kindberg didn't have a chance to look at each other this time.

Kindberg, who was a thief, was also afraid that Albert had unfavorable information about him, so he said directly to Lockheed, "Since MacDonald and Gilvet are gone, I am the youngest of the four large companies, and I have no say as a small company, so I better quit." ”

After speaking, he also threw a look at Albert and said flatteringly, "Of course, if His Royal Highness Albert wants to develop in the United States in the future, he can consider cooperating with our North American Airlines." ”

Albert did not have any information about Kindberg, Kindberg was just scaring himself, since the other party was willing to choose to withdraw, then Albert also replied elegantly, "Of course, I am happy that we can cooperate amicably, but only if we are no longer rivals." ”

"Just know that these guys are unreliable waste." Staring at Kindbergh's fading figure, Lockheed viciously squeezed the words out of his mouth. He pointed at Albert and scolded, "Don't think I'm going to let you go if you do this, they're a bunch of little people without vision, can't I see your ambition to encroach on the American market?" ”

Albert put on an expression that you would cut me when you saw that I was unhappy, put his head in his hands, and said very poorly, "So what, if you have the ability, let the horse come, do you really think that it will take me how long it will take me to digest your little bit of technology?" Now all I have to do is swagger to invade the American market, what can you do with me? ”

Albert pointed behind Lockheed, and he turned his head to see Donald, president of Douglas Aircraft. Wells? Douglas and a young man he didn't know were walking towards him, talking and laughing. As if sensing something, Lockheed took a step back, bit his lip and said, "Are you really ......?"

"Come on, come on, I'll introduce you to you." Albera over John? Smith and Douglas introduced to Lockheed, "This is the eldest son of the largest plutocratic family in Belgium, John? Smith, this is the president of Lockheed. As for Mr. Douglas, I think you all know each other, so I won't go into too much detail. ”

Douglas smiled and nodded towards Lockheed, but his half-squinted eyes revealed a strong hatred, that is, Lockheed's original plan for a new transport aircraft almost squeezed Lockheed military transport aircraft out of the market, but fortunately, the plan was aborted for various reasons, but I still have palpitations when I think about it.

"Hello, Mr. Lockheed, I often hear Albert mention you, and he says that you are a, very talented person." I haven't seen John for five years, taking over his own business? Smith is no longer the profligate guy he used to be, but a shining star in the business.

"Hello." Lockheed smiled bitterly, knowing that he was going to lose this game of chess. In a few words, he broke up his Big Four alliance and co-opted Lockheed's opponents to form a new company? This is to force Lockheed to a dead end. And this pit is still dug and jumped down by itself.

Albert was not relentless in the face of a desperate enemy, and he put the last straw that broke the camel's back on Lockheed's body, "The three of us plan to establish a new joint venture company in Montgomery County, Maryland, USA, to develop flying machines. ”

Douglas also deliberately emphasized one point in front of Lockheed, "At that time, the main business of our airline is the design of fighter jets and ballistic missiles, and I heard that Lockheed also wants to make a difference in the missile field, and we can cooperate and communicate with each other at that time." ”

Fighter jets are an important business of Lockheed, and Lockheed is also aware of the broad prospects of unilateral and is ready to enter this area.

And Montgomery County is the base camp of Lockheed, Albert's move is nothing more than preparing to declare war on Lockheed, Albert even thought of the company's name, since Lockheed and Martin in 1995? Erianetta merged to become Lockheed? Martin company, then its own company name must be provocative.

"So, the new company we're about to set up is called Martin Aircraft Manufacturing Company." Albert said slowly to Lockheed. (To be continued......)
