Chapter 140: A Visit to the United States

"Lilith, why did you go back to the United States?" Mhammad asked.

"Grandpa is critically ill." Lilith said, "I have to go home to see him, and I don't know if I can make it to see my grandfather for the last time." โ€

Lilith's words were a little heavy, and Mhammad also sank in his heart when he heard it, the loss of a loved one was the most sad and sad.

"Honey, why are you going to the United States?" Lilith asked.

Naturally, there are the most important things to do by yourself, but this plane is full of people, and Mhammad must not say anything, so he can only say: "I'm going to travel." โ€

"Honey, can you come home with me?" Lilith said: "In the past, my grandfather was most worried about me as a crazy girl, but now, I want him to see it, and he doesn't have to worry about me anymore. โ€

Going to Lilith's house? Mhammad hesitated for a while, he came to the United States to negotiate the matter of the Tomcat fighter as much as possible, and going with Lilith would delay his trip, but... Faced with an old man who is dying, there is no possibility of refusal.

"Yes, Lilith." Mhammad said, "I promise you. โ€

Mhammad's stomach suddenly stopped hurting again, Lilith changed seats, and went to Mhammad's side, all the way, she kept talking to Mhammad until she got off the plane, and she fell asleep.

"Your Excellency Mhammad, after we get off the plane, there will be people from Grumman to pick us up, as well as people from the U.S. military, you see, this Lilith?" Seeing that Lilith had fallen asleep, Karid whispered to Mhammad.

A brigadier general's visit to Wรจn can be regarded as a diplomatic event, because the content of this visit is to go to Grumman to inspect the Tomcat fighter, so the plane flew directly to New York. At the airport, take a private car to Grumman's corporate headquarters.

Grumman, in the United States, is also a legendary storage zร i,

In 1929, the Lorning Aircraft Engineering Company was acquired, and the company's employees, Ryloy Grumman and Hawk Swoble, decided to leave the company. Grumman Aircraft Engineering was created on Long Island.

From the very beginning, Grumman has been closely associated with the U.S. Navy, the company's first fighter is the Navy's retractable landing gear F1F biplane fighter, and then, in World War II, Grumman's masterpiece, the F4F Wildcat is the only carrier-based aircraft in the U.S. Navy that can tie with the Zero fighter, and the F6F Hellcat is a new model designed by Grumman specifically for the Zero fighter. It completely overpowered the Zero in flight indicators, and at the end of World War II, the Zero could no longer be in the sky. Throughout World War II, two-thirds of the warplanes lost by Japan were shot down by Grumman fighters.

After World War II, Grumman lost to Douglas' F-4 fighter jets, and it was not until the development of the F-14 Tomcat that it returned to the American aircraft carrier. Now, such fighters. It is the main air superiority fighter of the US Navy.

In addition, the A-6 attack aircraft, the E-2 AWACS aircraft, are the masterpieces of Grumman, they even participated in the Apollo program, and the lunar module was made by Grumman. It is a pity that it failed in the space shuttle bid.

The situation of such a large company in later generations is also embarrassing, and in 94, the company was on the verge of bankruptcy until it merged with Northrop. Re-emerged as a giant in the American arms industry.

The F-14 Tomcat is a Grumman masterpiece, but financially, they are in trouble.

When the F-14 fighter was finalized, the U.S. Navy ordered 429 F-14A production aircraft from Grumman, and in the contract signed, these production aircraft were traded at a fixed price.

And now, these F-14 fighters ordered by Iran have once again become a hot potato for Grumman, and the countries that allow exports do not look down on these fighters, they prefer the F-15, and the navy, refusing to buy these fighters at the current price, will give a cabbage price at most.

Grumman also attaches great importance to the arrival of the Pakistani visiting delegation, and in order to promote the friendship between the United States and Pakistan, the U.S. military also sent representatives to the airport to welcome the arrival of the Pakistani visiting delegation.

Originally, under Karid's arrangement, Yiqiฤ“ was very smooth, but now, there is an extra girl of unknown origin by Mhamad's side, and Karid is a little more worried.

The welcome at the airport cannot be shirked, Mhammad thought for a moment and said: "Take Lilith and attend their welcome ceremony together, after the ceremony, you go to Grumman first, and I will meet Lilith's family, and I will meet you in one day at most." โ€

As soon as he got off the plane, the protagonist of the expedition was going to disappear for a day, which was very impolite, Kalid frowned, but still agreed, but the brigadier general was beside him, and he was just a secretary, he could only cooperate, not interfere.

Lilith slept soundly, and had never slept so soundly since she came to the far east in pursuit of that hero.

Her hand grasped the person around her tightly, afraid that he would leave quietly in her sleep.

Mhammad looked at Lilith's youthful face and looked at the blinking eyelashes, and he knew that the oriental plot in his heart was gradually fading away, and this girl had entered his heart.

Although he traveled for the Pakistanis, Mhammad still has memories of his past life in his head, he only likes oriental girls, subtle, shy yellow people, and enthusiastic and unrestrained Americans like Lilith, Mhammad used to be somewhat resistant.

"Don't leave me, honey." Uncomfortable sleeping in her chair, Lilith shifted her head against Mhammad's chest and muttered as she spoke.

"I'm not leaving." Mhammad said, stroking Lilith's long hair with his hand.

Lilith, who was asleep, slowly woke up, feeling that Mhammad was stroking her long hair, Lilith's eyes were full of joy: "Honey, I want to be your person, I really want to be your person now." โ€

Lilith was passionate.

"Lilith, it's about to land." "There are some important people down there who welcome us, and as representatives of Pakistan, we need to maintain our image," Mhammad said. โ€

"Really? It just so happened that someone from my house came to greet me. Lilith said, "Honey, will you come home with me?" โ€

Mhammad shook his head: "Lilith, I need to socialize before I go with you." โ€

"You lied to me and said you were here for a tour." Lilith pursed her lips and feigned anger.

"I didn't lie to you, I'm really here to travel." Mhammad said: "It's just that when I'm traveling, I do some side things by the way, such as..."

As he spoke, Mhammad's lips came up, and Lilith immediately smiled like a flower.

"I'm going to change my clothes." Lilith said, "You are a big hero, as your woman, I have to be pretty, I have decided, go with you." โ€

With that, Lilith walked towards the bathroom at the back.

The long skirt with suspenders, the tasseled shawl, the long golden hair scattered behind her, and the pendant on the front chest were just right, and when she came over again, the passengers next to her kept looking at the past, the convex and concave figure, the exquisite curve, it was simply the perfect fusion of angels and devils, and even Hammad's eyes were bright.

"Well, I didn't embarrass you, did I?" Lilith said, "In a moment, you have to introduce me as a lady." โ€

Seeing that Mhammad nodded, Karid could only be anxious on the side, waiting to get off the plane, find an opportunity, and have to report to Islamabad quickly, who is this woman?

The wide-body Boeing-747 airliner, flying lightly from a distance, slowly landed on the runway of the New York International Airport, and when the wheels touched the ground and began to slide, the people who greeted them on the ground put their hands to their eyes and observed in the harsh sunlight.

The Pakistani side sent a delegation to inspect the mission, which was welcomed by the United States, especially since the leader of the delegation was Brigadier General Muhammad.

Don't know who Mahmad is? That's corny, right? This is the most famous partisan commander on the territory of Afghanistan! The current Free Afghan Army was formed under his leadership.

What the? Why is he Pakistani and not Afghan? Come on, it's a secret, only I know, I'll tell you quietly, but don't tell anyone else.

Among the welcoming crowd were representatives sent by Grumman, the company's vice president, Pierre Walter, and others, as well as representatives sent by the U.S. military, Atlantic Fleet Navy Captain Bill Bruce, and others.

Although the Pakistani delegates had only come to inspect Grumman's F-14 fighters, Congress had not relented at all, and Pierre knew that this was an opportunity to seize and sell the 80 Tomcats.

And the military, it is out of courtesy, now the United States and Pakistan are working closely together, part of the funds for the F-16 fighter is the United States military aid, as for Bill's level, this is no way, except in wartime, the United States Navy has not awarded the rank of brigadier general, when the approval of the Second World War will retire, the sequence of the Navy, either a colonel, or directly a two-star general, until 85 began to be modified.

As a result, Mhammad was greeted only by Bill, who was only a civilian in the fleet.

After the plane landed, the cabin door opened, and the first thing that appeared was just a bunch of ordinary passengers, this was a civil airliner, not a special plane.

They waited until a couple appeared at the door of the cabin, and Pierre was stunned.

Glancing down, Lilith was stunned. (To be continued......)
