"Mr. Lehack, it's a pleasure to see you." Coming out of the hospital room, Lilith meets with Pé Lehak in a quiet café outside the hospital.

At this time, Pe Lehak had a lonely expression on his face.

Unlike Huaxia and the Soviet Union, any fighter in the United States can rarely mention who the chief designer is, the excellent posture of the Su-27 has created the myth of Simonov, and the J-10 fighter is full of the glory of Song Zong, when it comes to American fighters, few people know who the designer is, who is the designer of the F-15? American. Who was the designer of the F-14? American.

Americans have always paid attention to teamwork, but the current Pee Lehhak is the chief designer of Grumman, leading the design work of the entire department, so the Tomcat fighter is naturally from his hands.

Now, the Tomcat fighter is going to be decommissioned, and it is not mothballed, but completely destroyed, and in its place, it is the Boeing F-18! This medium machine does not even have the ability to volley from a distance! How can you take on the task of seizing air supremacy for the fleet in the future! This is almost the consensus of the entire Grumman company, only the heavy Tomcat fighter is the direction of the future!

Abominable business competition! The guys at Boeing bribed a lot of members of Congress to use this opportunity to deprive the American fleet of a powerful carrier-based aircraft!

This is the idea of almost all Grumman's personnel, especially those designers of the Tomcat fighter, who watched the Tomcat fighter gradually mature under their hands, and now there is a stealth advanced carrier-based aircraft model, and at this most critical time, it was actually miscarried! It's as if their children are gone, and many have lost their souls.

One of them is Pee Lehack, who has always prided himself on Grumman's Tomcat for its performance. Far more than the F-15 of the Air Force!

However, performance alone is not enough, and Grumman's relationship with the top management is not enough.

"The president is sick, all because of Irangate, and now, the company is finally improving. Our company's stock has risen after learning that Pakistan has placed an order for this new batch of fighters, Mrs. Lilith, thanks to you. Pee Lehack said to Lilith.

"It's a pity that such an important military aircraft of our Grumman Company has lost the opportunity to continue to soar in the sky." Lilith said, "It's unfortunate. ”

"Those members of Congress just don't know how good our fighter is!" Lehack took a sip of his coffee, as if it were wine, and swallowed it in his stomach.

Latest projects. It was he who presided over it, the Navy's advanced carrier-based aircraft program, the Tomcat's stealth modification, and seeing that the prototype could be tested for flight, but it ushered in such a result!

"Yes, it's a pity that this fighter ended up like this." Lilith said, "If only it could be reborn in another country!" ”

Lilith's words. Lyhack was stunned for a moment, he knew that Lilith had something to say.

"Lady Lilith. Are you saying that Pakistan is interested in our new aircraft? Lehack asked.

For Pakistan, Lehaq can be said to be both love and hate, Pakistan imported a large number of Tomcat fighters, this kind of fighter has set an impressive record on the battlefield in Afghanistan, which makes Grumman also feel that there is a light on his face, but. There have always been rumors that Pakistan is copying this fighter in private! For the designers of the Tomcat fighter, such copycat behavior cannot be tolerated.

"Yes." Lilith said simply: "Pakistan is also working on a new fighter project, a fourth-generation aircraft based on the Tomcat, if you want to see the Tomcat continue to fly in the skies of the future." Watching your children continue to grow, you can go to Pakistan and you can become the deputy chief designer of the whole project! ”

Lilith came to the United States and Grumman, not only to see her father, but also to pull people!

In the early years of Pakistan's war against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, many engineers, scientists, and technical employees of Grumman cooperated and communicated with Pakistan, and formed "deep friendship" with each other. After the US imperialist government made the decision to forcibly retire the Tomcat and completely destroy it, these people are so desperate and lost, anyone who sees their life's work being denied and ruined in this way will be extremely sad.

So, at the behest of Mhammad, Lilith contacted these people through various investment companies, intermediaries under the cover of various private enterprises, and through normal business cooperation, telling them that there was an opportunity for them to continue to care for the "children" who raised them. So, for a simple reason: let the Tomcat fly in the sky again and prove that it is the strongest! At the same time, due to the complete loss of the carrier-based aircraft project, Grumman was forced to massively lay off employees, and these skilled aircraft designers, who needed a chance to survive at work, needed an exactly identical project!

Now, Grumman's engineers have envisioned a variety of possible improved models of the F-14D "Super Cat", some of which have breakthroughs in stealth and can meet most of the requirements of the multi-purpose functions expected by the US Imperial Navy at the time, such as the F-14E "Silent Cat" scheme; There is also an electronic warfare type of E/F-14G "Roaring Cat" scheme similar to the E/F-18G "Roaring Wasp". Bringing these engineers, together with these design solutions, to Pakistan and making the Tomcat fighter in their hearts "reborn" like a phoenix will definitely make them very excited!

At the same time, Pakistan's current project is progressing steadily, but the Tomcats produced now are all surveyed and mapped, why they were designed this way, they don't know, and with these original designers, why they designed it this way, it is quite clear, and it has a great role in promoting the development of new models in Pakistan.

At the beginning, Huaxia surveyed and mapped a weapon system of the Soviet Union, and found a piece of soap in it, I don't know why, I thought it was for lubrication, but as a result, when I made it myself, I also put a piece of soap in it, and finally, I asked the Soviet experts to explain, and the other party laughed, it turned out that the soap I threw was in it!

Lilith has mobilized a group of engineers, and now, inviting the chief designer Peh Lehak is an important step for Lilith, with this guy joining, Pakistan's fourth-generation aircraft can grow by leaps and bounds.

Of course, if this guy leaves, I don't know if old Pierre will vomit blood to the hospital bed again, Lilith can't care so much now, as the first lady of Pakistan, Lilith has a lot of awareness, but her father shouldn't be so stingy, right? His son-in-law has fulfilled his ideals, let the Grumman fighter continue to fly, and let the short-sighted guys in Congress see that Grumman's design is not wrong!

Now there is another quite good condition, that is, Pakistan's relations with the United States! Allowing the United States to use Pakistan's military bases is almost equivalent to a military ally, and the current Americans do not dislike Pakistan at all, at most they just think that Pakistan is somewhat desolate.

If Pakistan is opposed to the United States, many people will hesitate.

"Does President Hammad value our variable-sweep wing fighters?" As Lilith waited, Lehack asked Lilith.

"Yes, Mhammad has always valued the advantages of the variable sweep wing, believing that no matter how aerodynamic technology develops, this structure will never become obsolete." Lilith said according to Mhammad's analysis: "Our future fighter in Pakistan is also based on a variable swept wing structure, which requires the cooperation of many technicians to be able to fly in the future sky, don't you want to have your share of the credit?" ”

In the future, in addition to the side wings, in addition to the vertical tail with a large inclination, there must also be a variable sweep wing! Lehack has been involved in the design of many projects, but this Tomcat fighter is the one he is most proud of, if there is also a stealth aircraft with variable sweep wing in the sky in the future, how fascinating it would be!

"Okay, I'm willing to go." Lehack said.

"On behalf of Pakistan, I welcome you." Lilith said.

Being able to dig up Lehack is the biggest gain of Lilith's visit to the United States this time! When Lehack arrived in Pakistan, he quickly participated in the project of a new aircraft in Pakistan, and he was in full swing, because it was the place where his dream was realized!

No matter what international events we encounter, we must effectively transform them into our own interests, and everything is for our own development! Now Pakistan has only one goal, seize the time and develop its strength as soon as possible!

The addition of Grumman's designers has brought Pakistan's fighter aircraft development to a new level, and many of the problems encountered in the past have been solved.

Many of Grumman's technicians had fled to Pakistan, and the director of the CIA made a secret report to Bush Sr., but the result of the report was that there was no result.

The United States now needs Pakistan as an ally, and at this time, it goes without saying that it is necessary to dig up a few aircraft designers, and that Grumman is going to help Pakistan design the aircraft, and the United States has to agree.

On October 6, 92, the American aircraft carrier USS Independence and 6 frigates headed for the Persian Gulf, and 1 cruiser, 1 destroyer and 5 large warships joined the aircraft carrier group in the Indian Ocean. At the same time, the Lloyd's Society, a prominent London insurance company, announced the immediate establishment of a war insurance payment to be paid to all ships bound for the region.
