Chapter 147: The Trap

Attack helicopters? Albert was a little speechless when he heard this, which can be regarded as an advanced idea, you must know that in this era, people have not yet used the idea of helicopters as an offensive weapon, and more used as a means of transport. Messerschmidt, as a fighter designer, certainly prioritized destructiveness in his considerations.

"In this case, we need to thicken the armor of the helicopter, use more powerful turboshaft engines, and upgrade the weapons, all in all, this is a revolutionary attempt." Albert said.

It's not that he doesn't want to make a helicopter gunship, it's just that in this era, even if something like the Hind Mi-24 is tinkered with, it will only be possible to make a castrated version of the Hind Mi-24 because of the engine, Albert has always held the idea of either not doing it or doing the best, so he would rather endure it now than equip a helicopter that will be phased out on a large scale in the next seven or eight years.

After finalizing the development of the aircraft, Albert left Messerschmitt's studio, where every designer's time was precious and he didn't want to take up too much of Messerschmitt's time. However, Messerschmitt did not rush back to work this time, but stared at Albert's back as he left, his expression thoughtful.

"It looks like your Belgian Air Force is going to add another helicopter fleet." Tianyan said.

Albert talked to him as he walked, "The use of helicopters means a change in the situation of the war, just in time to shock the old guards in the Air Force, and it is time to liberate the minds of these people from World War I and World War II." Albert's biggest concern is that these people have not experienced the baptism of war, and many people's thinking may be limited to the large-scale corps operations of World War II, but they do not know that infiltration operations and small-scale battles in the Cold War are the mainstream programs.

Just when Albert was about to walk out of the factory gate, he vaguely saw a figure flash from under the tree not far away, hiding in the alley next to him, Albert with a strong sixth sense immediately sensed that something was wrong, he gestured with the driver and security personnel, the latter immediately understood and took out a pistol from his waist, and slowly approached the alley, while the security personnel around Albert protected Albert behind him to prevent accidents.

Just when the driver was about to reach the mouth of the alley, a person suddenly came out, he still had a camera hanging on his chest, only to see the other party raise his hands high, shouting, "Don't shoot, don't shoot, I have no malicious intent." ”

Albert heard the voice familiarly, but he couldn't remember who it was. Tianyan kindly reminded, "Yo, isn't this your old friend Tom from three years ago?" How did it become the virtue of this tabloid reporter again. ”

Hearing Tianyan's words, Albert hurriedly asked the driver to put down the gun and not hurt the old man in front of him. However, when Albert saw Tom, he did think that the other party was a bit miserable, and the scruffy clothes replaced the suit and leather shoes, and his expression became gloomy, and he was no longer the same person he met at the first gun launch three years ago.

But when he saw him, Albert's eyes lit up, "Tom, is it really you?" ”

The other party's eyes dodged and didn't dare to look directly at Albert, so he had to lower his head and whisper, "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I didn't mean to follow you, but I was really poor recently, so I wanted to find some news from His Highness." ”

Albert was helpless that a dog like him couldn't change his habit of eating, he opened the car door and asked Tom to get in the car, "Come in, I'm just going to eat, let's go together, let's talk while we eat." ”

Tom seemed a little surprised by Albert's magnanimity, and hesitated for a moment before getting into Albert's car, because he felt guilty, so Tom never dared to face Albert.

"Why is it mixed up like this? Haven't you become the editor-in-chief of the entertainment section of the daily newspaper? Albert was a little emotional, and it was really feng shui in turn, and the paparazzi reporter who became famous by hyping up the crown prince three years ago has returned to the original prototype.

Tom sighed and said slowly, "It's a long story, the news about the Greek civil war that helped His Highness at the beginning was also a proud work, at that time, the sales of Belgian daily newspapers increased several times, but the good times did not last long, and the entertainment section began to decline in my hands after only a year and a half, although I also thought of various entertainment star lace news to remedy it, but there was no ......." ”

Speaking of which, Tom also deliberately glanced at Albert. Albert picked up what he left unfinished, "It's not as valuable as a politician's lace scandal, is it?" "The Belgian government's September 1946 restriction on negative news coverage of politicians was Albert's handiwork, which was a major move by Albert to control the press, including that negative news about politicians without verification or any actual evidence was not allowed to be reported, otherwise it would be treated as defamation.

Albert's attitude towards the news media is not as kind as that of other countries, and if a country cannot even protect the position of public opinion, then it will lose a lot in the psychological propaganda war. Just like those countries whose propaganda departments have been infiltrated by the enemy, if Albert were in power, the first step would be to shoot their propaganda ministers.

Tom nodded, losing the political lace news is equivalent to cutting off his financial route, so Tom is getting more and more regressive, and he has changed from editor-in-chief to paparazzi.

"If I give you a chance to bounce back, do you want to?" Albert asked.

Hearing the crown prince's words, Tom, who was originally desperate, turned his head, stared at Albert with bright eyes, nodded and agreed, "Of course I do, whatever you want me to do, as long as I can get back on my feet." ”

"Good." "This time your target is a British scientist named Alan Matheson Turing, who is a gay man. All you have to do is make a big deal about the fact that he's a fact, pay attention, you have to report his events in a sympathetic tone. ”

Albert had already set up a trap, sent someone to hook up with Turing, and then photographed the two people as evidence of homosexuality and exposed it, according to British law, same-sex people either went to jail or chemical castration, and Tom's article on fighting for the rights of the-stirring sticks would not only not have a positive effect, but would push Turing into the abyss of disrepute.

When the time comes, as long as you come to the rescue, you don't have to worry that the other party will not run to Belgium. Albert, who knew the hype well, arranged a trap that was destined to ruin Turing's reputation.

"No problem, but why expose a homosexual, you must know that the law in the UK is ......," Tom asked. In his opinion, this is a very immoral thing.

"Tom." Albert reminded him solemnly, "I just need you to finish this article, you don't care about the rest, I have my own measure, you know?" ”

Tom was too frightened by Albert's grim expression to speak, and perhaps even Albert himself didn't realize that his cold and arrogant leadership temperament was slowly emerging.

Seeing that he had suppressed the other party, Albert's expression softened, and he patted Tom on the shoulder and comforted, "Don't worry, as long as you report it truthfully, and through the spread of your connections in the press, I can promise that you will be able to return to the glory days of three years ago." ”
