PS: The third update, over

Once again, Albert set foot on the territory of the United States of America, but this time not in Washington or New York, but in sunny Miami, Florida. The next edition of the North American Airshow will be held here. Of course, most of the participants in the air show are North American and European arms giants, but there are also some small companies that want to try their luck, and their business is only specialized in a certain aspect of airborne radar and fire control systems.

Albert came to the exhibition with a physical model of the F4 Phantom fighter this time, a month ago Messerschmidt completed the test flight of the F4 Phantom fighter, and the test flight of the F4 Phantom in history, there are some minor problems with the hydraulic system and engine, after the tilt adjustment of the intake slope plate, the F4 Phantom fighter completed the test flight project very well. There was also no problem with the legendary landing gear not being retracted.

The performance superiority of the F4 Ghost is only reflected in the aircraft as a whole, in terms of radar system, the F4 Ghost still uses the radar system of the F84 Thunderbolt fighter, and the fire control system is limited to the level of development, and it is not long ahead.

Sunshine, sand, bikini, this is Albert's impression of Miami, but at this time, Albert in a suit and leather shoes in addition to feeling the heat wave hit people, there is still a little coolness in the exhibition hall, at this time Albert is only fifteen years old, but the height of one meter seven or eight will not be annihilated in the crowd, but the slightly young Miao Kong makes some profiteers who do not know the details as a "fat sheep".

This time the air show Albert naturally will bring weapons design masters Kalashnikov, Esmond? Heckler and the master of aircraft design, Messerschmidt, brought along. Of course, Albert's leading role as the boss is also particularly eye-catching. Of course, it also attracted the attention of certain arms dealers. As Albert walked past a jet fighter stall, he was stopped by a chattering staffer.

"Sir, sir, would you be interested in taking a look at our planes? MC.205 Thunderbolt fighter. The best product of the Mache company. The outer wing plus the 20 mm caliber MG151 cannon, the overall flight performance is on par with the German Bf109G fighter, yes, it is the proud product of the Messerschmitt design master, even in the face of the British Spitfire can be handled, although it is an outdated propeller aircraft, but against those governments with weak anti-aircraft fire or no jet fighters. And you can. The salesman showed an eloquence comparable to that of a Chinese host, but Albert just glanced at the shiny guy with sparse hair and ignored him and continued walking.

See Albert is not interested. The oil-headed brother stepped in front of Albert first, and had to enlarge the price concession, "And this plane is only $10,000 now, you heard it right." It's only $10,000. It's like giving it to you for nothing, think about it, sir. ”

Albert finally stopped and asked, "Sir, do you think we look like people who can't afford jets, but can only buy propeller planes?" Are you insulting my identity or questioning my financial resources? ”

"Uh......" The salesperson didn't expect Albert to retort like this, so he had to argue, "Sir, you know." Not that means, and I don't question your purchasing power. Just felt ......"

Albert interrupted him with an impatient wave and said, "I'm not interested in whether that means that, but if you say that this broken plane can be compared to the BF109G designed by Messerschmidt, you'd better ask him if he agrees with it." Albert pointed to Messerschmidt, who was holding back a smile behind him, and pushed the whole thing onto Messerschmidt, "By the way, this person is the Messerschmitt design master you just mentioned." ”

Messerschmitt deliberately grimaced and said, "Don't come to insult our German designs with Italian planes, okay?" ”

The salesman was about to squirt a mouthful of old blood in front of Albert, but he didn't expect that his boasting actually met the main owner, he regretted a little that he had known that he wouldn't blow Messerschmidt, how should it end now.

Albert stared at this guy with a little schadenfreude, telling you to pretend to be a force, and you have to finish pretending to be on your knees. Albert then continued to taunt, "I also had a friend who was as eloquent as you, but once again he sold a batch of inferior arms to the rebels, and was caught by them before he escaped, and now his grave is more than a meter high. ”

Leaving behind the embarrassed salesman who was ridiculed, Albert continued to visit other stalls, and several salespeople who also regarded Albert as the wronged boss saw the experience of the one just now, and automatically and consciously blacklisted Albert, so as not to be slapped in the face by Messerschmidt next to him.

At the same time, they are also wondering who is this young man who made the aircraft design master Messerschmidt voluntarily become a follower?

"Mr. Messerschmidt, is the Italian MC.205 Thunderbolt really inferior to the BF-109G fighter?" Albert was also curious about the question. Because the MC.205 Thunderbolt is arguably one of the strongest fighters in Italy.

"Of course not." Messerschmidt spread his hands and admitted, "In fact, the MC.205 fighter is an improved version of the MC.202 fighter, and it further replaces the engine with the same DB605 water-cooled engine as the Bf109G fighter, in terms of speed, the flight performance of the MC.205 Thunderbolt fighter has been greatly improved, for example, in terms of speed, it is 50 kilometers per hour faster than the MC.202, and the maximum flight speed can reach 640 kilometers per hour." I just said that I can't compare to BF109G to fool him, and I hate this kind of salesperson who has no moral bottom line. ”

"That's right." Albert sighed thoughtfully.

Albert and his entourage then walked to the front of the weapons gallery, where the vast majority of the display was aerial guns and heavy machine guns, such as the MG151 15mm cannon produced by the Mauser factory, the Browning M2 machine gun, the MK11 double-barreled rifled gun, and even the Soviet HC-23 aviation cannon.

The exhibition was like a market full of goods, and Albert said as he walked through the stalls, "Do Kalashnikovs and Heckler know why I brought you to the air show?" ”

"Is it because His Highness Albert wants to develop a cannon?" "Since Mr. Messerschmidt's F4 Phantom doesn't mention what kind of cannon is used, I think His Highness Albert wants to develop a new type of cannon to be installed on the fighter, right?" ”

"You're really smart, Mr. Hackler." It is not a simple matter to become Albert's royal designer, in addition to the development of firearms, large-caliber aviation guns are also within the scope of development of NORINCO and HK.

"But he's not interested in any of these weapons." Kalashnikov, who has always had a word for it, stopped in front of the HC-23 gun, perhaps remembering his hometown, and gently stroked the cold killing machine, "The HC-23 gun, a product of the Nudelman-Sulanov Machine-Building Design Bureau, I also gave advice to several of his other weapons at the beginning. Of course, I don't recommend this weapon to His Highness Albert, the lifespan is too short and only 400 rounds. ”

Unlike Heckler, Kalashnikov was a doer, and he directly revealed Albert's thoughts, "His Royal Highness Albert has mentioned the revolver machine gun many times in front of me before, so I think His Highness's mind of the aircraft cannon should be a three-barreled or six-barreled revolver, I once thought of a weapon that relies on gunpowder to rotate, before the bullet is fired, its action of sending the first bullet to the firing position and firing is achieved by the high-pressure gunpowder gas generated by the gunpowder bullet through the first starting device." Three gunpowder shells are installed in the first starting device, the first gunpowder bullet is specially used for the first starter, and the second and third gunpowder bullets are specially used to eliminate the fault of stopping firing, that is, if for some reason the blind fire bullet is generated during the firing process or the energy storage is not stored before the stopping, the second or third gunpowder bullet can be used to restart the gun for firing. ”

"Go on." Albert became quiet, he didn't expect Kalashnikov to take a completely different way from the electric drive of the American Vulcan system in the development of the minigun, relying on gunpowder to promote, this idea is also the development model of the YAKB 12.7mm cannon in later generations. At present, the mode of electric drive runner is still in the germination stage, so Lao Maozi will think of such a simple and rough rotation method.

"I've only thought about it for the time being, because it's also an occasional flash of inspiration when I'm usually cranky." Kalashnikov replied honestly, scratching his head in embarrassment. But it was enough to put Albert to shame, a fighting nation with a brain big enough to use a bicycle to make a shotgun in a certain novel.

"Go back and give me a report, I'm interested in this plan." Albert said that at the same time, the performance of Heckler and Kalashnikov just now also made him realize that the more the company grows, some small factions are slowly forming.

"Yo, isn't this His Highness Albert? Why do you have so much time to visit the air show in the United States? A voice of disgust came from directly in front of him, and he looked up to see Lockheed, MacDonald, and Gilvet walking towards him, and next to him was a stocky guy he had never seen before, walking like a bloated penguin.

But Messerschmidt's whispered words in Albert's ear kept him from laughing, and the name that Messerschmitt broke out was James? Dodge? Kindelberg, the current general manager of North American Airlines, is also a former manager of Douglas & Co. To be able to bring these big shots together, needless to say, they must be coming for themselves

"Yes, it's a pity not to come to such a big air show. How many billions of transactions can you say can be completed by this annual air show? Albert asked deliberately dumbfounded.

"A lot, too much to imagine." Lockheed Pi squeezed out a sentence without smiling, he pointed to the planes lined up on the runway outside the window and said, "But there are only a few winners in the end, and I don't know which company will fall on this year's sales champion."
