PS: The second one, and one more

If someone looks carefully enough today, they will find that there are three more luxury Mercedes-Benz cars in the outer parking lot of the Lockheed building, and of course, the identities of these cars are also very important, they are James of MacDonald? Smith? McDonald, Boeing President Claire? Agiwitt and North American Airlines' president, James ? Dodge? Kindelberg.

Plus Lockheed's Allen? Lockheed, the Big Four of the aviation and military industry, gathered in the conference room of Lockheed, and they were all invited by Lockheed to a secret meeting, a special meeting against Albert.

Since Albert pit out all the secret technology, Lockheed has not laughed for more than a year, although the United States symbolically compensated several orders for fighter jets, but it is useless for Lockheed, not to mention that President Truman has died, and these compensation has disappeared with his disappearance, thinking of this, Lockheed coughed his throat and said in a deep voice, "I invite you to gather here this time, presumably Mr. McDonald and Mr. Agivet already know the reason." ”

The two people, who were also miserable by Albert, nodded and did not speak. In terms of losses, they are no better than Lockheed, so when Lockheed proposed to meet, they knew that the days of forbearance were over, and they could finally take revenge on Albert openly, and the irrepressible excitement even the blood seemed to be boiling and burning.

"Yes, President Truman is dead. The last obstacle to our revenge has been removed. It's time to take back from Albert what belongs to us. Lockheed said through gritted teeth. Perhaps Albert himself did not know that the butterfly effect would lead to an act of revenge against him.

"Wait." James who was listening to the clouds on the sidelines? Kindberg raised his hand and asked, "It's just a grudge between the three of you and Crown Prince Albert." What's the matter with us? North American Aviation has never had any disputes with Talester Heavy Weapons. ”

"Of course not." Lockheed said he would James? Kindbergera was launched solely because the F86 Sabre fighter developed by North American Airlines has recently been mixed up in the US Air Force, connecting two large-scale orders this year, one for 188 and 333 for the Air Force. As the new darling of the US Air Force, James? The use value of Kindberg is much greater.

Of course, businessmen are a bunch of unprofitable animals, so when I heard Lockheed say it didn't matter. James? Kindberg had no patience to leave, but Lockheed's next words made James? Kindberg dismissed the idea.

Lockheed said, "As far as I know. The Air Department's 333 F86 Sabre fighters are the last order, and they have no intention of buying F86 Sabres anymore, but if you are willing to help, I can guarantee that the Air Department will continue to purchase your F86 Sabre fighters. What about this condition? ”

Lockheed has enough political connections. This is beyond the reach of North American aviation.

"Whew...... It's really exciting, let me think, okay I'll grant your request. "After thinking about the pros and cons in my head, James? Kindberg immediately agreed to Lockheed's conditions, anyway, if the situation is not for him, he can leave immediately, and this deal is a good deal no matter how you look at it.

To James? Kindberg's performance in understanding the overall situation made Lockheed very pleased, but MacDonald asked suspiciously, "This Talester Heavy Weapons Company has nothing to do with us at all, what is the way to cause him losses?" You know, it was the military enterprise of the Belgian crown prince. Just as the funds are running out, there is still support from the state. It is simply impossible for us to acquire it in capital. ”

"Herein lies the problem." Seeing that MacDonald was to the point, Lockheed also gave out all his thoughts. "Recently, my friends in the Department of Defense and in Congress broke out to me that a lobbyist from Talester Heavy Arms was saying that he was 'making friends' in the U.S. Congress with dollars. That is to say......"

Before Lockheed could finish speaking, Egit said with a pale face, "You mean this guy even wants to enter the American aviation industry and steal business with us?" ”

As a foreign company, a prerequisite for developing in the United States is that you have enough friends in Congress and the Department of Defense to speak with weight. So as soon as he heard Lockheed's words, Egit understood what he meant. He straightened up with the handle of his chair and said in a cold voice, "We will never allow this to happen, tell us your plan." ”

The recent rumors of Boeing's tight financial chain are already an open secret that everyone present knows, so Agivet's nervousness is also expected by everyone. James? Kindberg also knew that once Talest's aircraft manufacturing company entered the American market, it would undoubtedly be a fatal blow to the business market development that had not yet matured the three giants present.

"So our chances to start at the North American Airshow in the middle of next month, as the annual feast of military and civilian aircraft in the United States, will definitely attract a lot of companies, including Talester Heavy Weapons, and what we have to do is to give the American top brass in the presence the impression that their designs are fragile garbage." Lockheed put forward his own bad moves, he did not believe that Tallester could absorb and transform all its technology in a short period of time, you must know that when it annexed German companies, Lockheed also spent a year digesting their aircraft engine manufacturing process.

"But I've heard that Albert got the top designer Messerschmidt from Germany, and I don't think he's worse than us in aircraft manufacturing." MacDonald raised his concerns.

"So we improved the fuselage layout of the F80 jet fighter and derived a new model." Lockheed said with a smug smile, "Our company changed the F80 fighter from a straight wing to a swept wing, retaining the nose, mid-section fuselage, and vertical tail of the F-80C. The rear fuselage was enlarged, and the Allison J33-A-27 engine with afterburner was used. The wing and flat tail were changed to a 35-degree sweep. The improved model is more maneuverable and faster than any of its predecessors. ”

Originally, the U.S. Air Force was committed to the development of the F86 Sabre fighter in history, and it was considered that there was no need to develop the F-80E, so the project was also abandoned by Lockheed. But in this parallel world, Lockheed continued to develop the E model of the F80 fighter to humiliate Albert with this model.

Because MacDonald really started the development of the first swept wing jet fighter this year, that is, the F3 Devil fighter, MacDonald had to come up with the most capable aircraft so far, the F2H-2 Banshee fighter. Although the F2H-2 Banshee carrier-based fighter, he confidently believes that it still has great advantages compared to the aircraft produced by Talestal.

Egit coughed awkwardly, glanced at a few people present, and whispered, "Boeing does not have fighter jets in the exhibition, in fact, at present, Boeing only has the B model of the B47 stratojet bomber in development." ”

For Boeing, which has always been committed to bombing, Lockheed does not expect them to add bricks to fighter jets, in fact, the F86 Sabre, F80-E and F2H-2 Banshee are all three fighters aimed at the products of Taleister Heavy Arms at the same time.

Thinking of this, Lockheed finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if he saw the embarrassing scene of Albert being slapped in the face at the North American air show, so he stood up and said, "Everyone, this time we will definitely succeed." ”

――――――

"Anyway, the annual North American Airshow is about to start again." Recently, the upcoming events of the North American Airshow have caused a storm in the industry, and even aircraft manufacturing companies in European countries are eager to try it, which is also a feast for aircraft manufacturing companies around the world.

"I think you're going to take the F4 Phantom fighter with you, aren't you?" Tianyan said, "And this air show is definitely not easy, maybe you will meet a few difficult old opponents, you must know that you have offended almost half of the aviation giants in the United States, who knows if the air show will give you any stumbling block." ”

"Uh...... That being said, wouldn't it be a shame not to participate in such a great opportunity? Of course, Albert can't resist the temptation of the air show, and the amount of transactions that may be reached in a day of the air show alone is tens of millions of dollars, and there will be procurement personnel from the Ministry of Defense of various countries.

"Go, why don't you go. But you should also be prepared before you go, so as not to get into trouble if you don't catch the sheep. Albert thought for a moment, remembering two old friends he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Maybe I should talk to Giovanni Jr., the heir to Fiat? Agnelli to get in touch and see his uncle Vittorio? Valletta was willing to join forces or not, and he hadn't been in touch since the launch of the Uzi submachine gun four years ago. And, of course, there is John, who has not been in touch since his father became a political dignitary, taking over the family business. I heard that the Smith family is also expanding its market share in the United States recently, and he must have a lot of exciting insiders when dealing with politicians. "Albert was prepared at the beginning, just in case.

"It seems that you have a good understanding of the temper of those old foxes in the United States, knowing that this is a Hongmen banquet but still generously attending the banquet?" Tianyan's tone carried a hint of teasing.

"That's natural, if you don't go into the tiger's den, you will get a tiger, and the profit is so considerable, no matter how big the risk is, you have to try it." Albert laughed. (To be continued......)
