Chapter Ninety-Eight: Finally Mocked

"So you came all the way from Belgium today to tell me that Lockheed's engines can't compare to the engines of the North American Airlines F86 Sabre fighter, so Lockheed should transfer technology as soon as possible and get out of the aviation industry in time?" Lockheed asked unceremoniously.

"The real genius is not how long they can go their own way, but they know that they can't go very far on their own feet, and that's why we learned to steer a chariot and invent a car, an airplane and a ship, from a bunch of people in animal skins, didn't we?" Albert's words hit Lockheed straight to the heart, "Are there still few poor guys in history who have been complacent because of their own shortcomings, and ultimately led to failure?" ”

"Wait, I'm not used to your lofty theories, let's say, what other conditions do you have in exchange?" Lockheed directly interrupted Albert's words, he didn't believe Albert's nonsense, but the engine of the F80 fighter is backward compared with the F86 Sabre, which must also be admitted, so Lockheed wants to see what kind of bargaining chips Albert can afford.

"My trading conditions remain the same, but I can provide you with the design drawings of the General Electric J-47 axial turbojet engine, and with your R&D efforts, it should not be difficult for you to create a similar engine. And I also have a guy who is more advanced than the J-47 axial turbojet engine, the J79-GE-17A turbojet engine design that General Electric is still secretly developing, which is something that I spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to get my hands on. ”

Albert told a lie to Lockheed, the J79-GE-17A turbojet engine was only developed in 1952, but according to the current technology accumulation in the United States, it is not difficult to get this guy in advance with accurate design drawings.

"My trading conditions remain the same, with TV imaging technology, $600,000 plus J-47 axial turbojet engine and J79-GE-17A turbojet engine design drawings in exchange for large forging presses at Lockheed's aircraft factory and core technology sharing." Albert prescribes a condition that he thinks is superior, in fact, once he catches the hook, it is not too difficult to imitate a large forging press and an aero engine with the industrial capacity of Belgium, but many times the situation is that I know how to get this thing, but there is no corresponding equipment to get it, which is the sadness of countries with shortcomings in the industrial chain.

It's a pity that Lockheed didn't show the expectations he expected, but the corners of his mouth hooked up and sneered, "Why should I trade with you?" Think a broken engine can make Lockheed disarm and surrender? Your Royal Highness Albert you also underestimate the R&D strength of our department, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really wants to trade with us, show some sincerity, Belgium itself is not capable of developing fighter jets, don't keep thinking about other people's successful designs, in other words, you are really shameless. Also, don't think about using your status as the crown prince of Belgium to press me, this is the United States, an adventurer's paradise, not suitable for you European waste. ”

Lockheed's confidence comes from the huge profits brought by the mass production of fighter jets for the US military during World War II, and from any point of view, Albert's North Industries Corporation and Talester Heavy Weapons Arsenal are not even qualified to carry shoes for Lockheed.

"Huh~" Albert patted his legs, not showing an angry look, he just shook his head with a smile and said, "So, Lockheed is determined to reject this deal?" I just don't know if the president of Lockheed will regret it in the future. ”

"Not only did he refuse the deal, but he told you to fuck off." Lockheed pointed to the door pointedly, "Go out yourself, I won't send it." Where did you come from, go back to where you go. ”

Even though the other party humiliated himself like this, Albert still stood up unhurriedly, walked to the door and paused, and finally asked the question just now, "I want to say more at the end, are you sure you don't regret it?" President of Lockheed. ”

Lockheed almost said sure and sure, but he still only said one word, "Get out." ”

Then Albert walked out of his office in a hurry, but the Lockheed roll was so loud that as soon as he walked out of the hallway, he saw all the Lockheed employees looking at him with a kind of schadenfreude.

Albert shrugged his shoulders indifferently, anyway, he didn't really come to the United States to make a deal with Lockheed, he was more on the way to visit the old acquaintance's recent situation, at this time he said to himself and mocked the people around him, "Laugh, laugh, there will be a chance to make you cry in the future." ”

The future monarch of a small European country was actually scolded by the president of a company in the United States. After Albert came out of Lockheed, he wanted to stop by Boeing and McDonnell Douglas to find their president, James MacDonald, but Albert decided to put the matter aside for now, because he had a more important plan to achieve.

"Actually, you don't need to come to this place to humiliate yourself, I know that you don't have a plan to get rid of everything, and you won't easily come to the United States to find someone to ask for technology and equipment." For the first time, Skyeye did not continue to sarcastically mock Albert while he was being taunted.

"Thank you, I thought you were a dog who couldn't spit out ivory, and would never say good things." Albert walked to the side of the road and bought a newspaper, unlike Europe, which focused on economic recovery news, the United States was fighting the Soviet Union and the United States on the German border, since the Soviet army was attacked by militants, the Soviet army began to accuse them of the US government, and the United States was also refuting the Soviet Union's blood, and constantly exaggerating the Soviet Union as a country without freedom and democracy.

"The United States is becoming more and more dissatisfied with the Soviet Union, and the first Berlin crisis provoked is developing towards an escalation, and I think it is time to remind the Americans of the Soviet nuclear weapons program." Albert did not hesitate to prepare to give the United States a big gift, and one of the major failures in the history of the CIA was that it did not know about the Soviets' nuclear weapons development program, so that the Americans who were kept in the dark after the atomic bombing of the Soviet Union woke up from a dream.

At this time, throwing out the secret of the Soviet Union's atomic bomb program is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire of US-Soviet relations, and it is not clear that there will really be a third World War. Anyway, Albert is a guy who doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, the Soviet Union really wants to play a torrent of steel to crush Europe, the British and the French don't have an atomic bomb now, but the humble Belgium has a stratofortress bomber that can drop an atomic bomb in your backyard and grow mushrooms, of course, it's a kind of hydrogen bomb that is twice the yield of Khrushchev's bomb, and Albert also gave it a name, Leopold II bomb.

"In addition to that, I also smelled an unusual message that Americans are far more afraid of communism than I thought, which provides a very good political ground for McCarthy's clown. The rise of the wave of ideology marks the official beginning of ideological confrontation, and we must be careful when dealing with ** countries in the future. ”

"You're so good at killing McCarthy." Tianyan made a bad move.

"Huh? You mean killing a U.S. congressman? Albert was stunned for a moment, then amused at his thoughts, "The reason why McCarthy is so rampant is because of Truman's indulgence. At that time, he also demanded that Truman publicly express his comical speech about the alleged Communist and Communist spies in the United States, and the angry Truman ended up only asking for evidence instead of blaming the man. But if the 1950 president of the United States had not been Truman, but the tougher military-born Eisenhower, would he still have that chance? ”
