Chapter 165: Twin Demons

The Liberator twins wreaked havoc over Washington until the destroyers approached them, then they both pulled up and flew quickly into the air, and then turned around and flew westward, and the P26 group behind them was in hot pursuit, they didn't want to take down the two planes that humiliated them, after all, both planes had Lockheed logos on them, and besides, people just threw a few fireworks, just force them down and then throw the pilot to the police station.

Unfortunately, this was more difficult than shooting them down, because the Liberator twins outpaced them so much faster that the sight in the sky was like a flock of ducks chasing hounds, and soon the two bombers were far away from the destroyers behind them under the watchful eye of the whole city of Washington.

The legend of these two bombers did not end there, the US Department of Defense, which was slapped in the face, ordered all the army aviation units on the route they passed through to force down these two planes no matter what, but unfortunately none of them succeeded in interception, and at this time, none of the US army aviation planes could fly faster and higher than the Liberator, and the speed of 450 kilometers and the maximum altitude of 9,000 meters gave them arrogant qualifications.

After nightfall, the U.S. Department of Defense finally reluctantly admitted defeat, but the two planes were not able to fly directly back to Burbank, which was an unattainable goal, and they landed in the small town of Amarillo in northern Texas, by which time they had flown nearly 6,000 kilometers.

The next morning, almost all American newspapers reported on the front page that Lockheed had bombarded Washington with fireworks on a long-distance flight of nearly 4,000 kilometers from California with two Liberator bombers.

These journalists, who have received benefits from JY, have done their best to satirize the US Department of Defense to the fullest. Some even compared the Liberator with several other models that were bidding for long-range bomber projects, which was very bitterly sarcastic: "When our defense minister was waiting for others to develop the bomber in his hand and then make it available for his own selection, he was interested in a model that not only surpassed all other models in terms of performance, but was already ready for mass production." The bomber, which fully met all the indicators, turned a blind eye and even refused to accept the Lockheed bid, simply because its boss was a Chinese, and its chief engineer was a young man under thirty years old. ”

Not only is public opinion blaming, but even Republican congressmen in Congress have not missed this good opportunity, jumping out one by one to use this as an article to wantonly attack the Roosevelt administration and make the US Department of Defense anxious, of course, these have nothing to do with Yang Feng. The Liberator has returned to Burbank, the Texas government is not interested in slapping the Department of Defense, and Yang Feng has just donated $100,000 to the Texas victims who have been hit by a sandstorm, so they will not care about this kind of nosy.

The pilots who participated in the operation, each received a reward of 1,000 dollars, and was invited to attend the premiere of Snow White at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, and Fox had been promoting this masterpiece for a long time, since Yang Feng had not yet arrived in the United States. It has already been bombarded with advertisements in major media in the United States, which can be said to have whetted the appetite of Americans.

The facts also live up to Fox's investment in publicity. Snow White's premiere was a huge success, with almost all American film reviews overwhelmingly acclaimed, and the box office after its successive releases across the United States also made Yang Feng happy to be out of sight, exceeding 100,000 in just four days in New York.

According to his contract with Fox, all the films shot by Yanhuang Lab. He can get half of the box office revenue alone, and Fox shares the other half with its theaters as the distributor, which means that the revenue brought to him by this movie alone may exceed several million, and it is now Fox's production factory. Copies are being produced 24 hours a day to meet the needs of its cinemas.

"Gotta find a way to get MGM down! And it has to be unaware, otherwise offending Rockefeller is no joke. Lying on a deck chair on the beach, Yang Feng looks at Margaret and Fluttershy, who are playing in swimsuits in front of him, while thinking like a conspirator about how to scourge the current Hollywood boss.

Anyway, Mickey Mouse's result is doomed, no one can do it, in terms of cartoons, he is an enemy that can never be defeated, but in terms of live-action films, he is a little powerless, he can't make a set of Gone with the Wind and say that it was filmed by Yanhuang Laboratory, right?

Gone with the Wind? Suddenly, his eyes lit up, he really couldn't do this, but he couldn't make others unable to shoot it? Mitchell's book isn't finished yet! If you go to her now, buy the film adaptation rights in advance, and then let Fox shoot it, as for what it will look like, it doesn't matter, and it won't be worse than MGM.

Historically, this movie has helped MGM too much, and if he can succeed in his own salary, he can quietly give Meyer the most fatal blow.

But now I don't care about these conspiracies, anyway, I have to go to aviation school when I go back, and I just have to take a trip to Atlanta by the way, Yang Feng still has big things waiting for him today, Lockheed's twin demon has been manufactured, and now he is waiting for him to hold his first flight ceremony at the test flight field.

Of course, this is a low-key first flight, except for him and the personnel in his own system, no one else participated, if the first flight was successful, Yang Feng did not mind engaging in a large-scale publicity, in order to stimulate morale, this goods deliberately brought a few little actresses under Fox, one person in a small skirt, led by Margaret, waiting for the success of the test flight to give the pilot a kiss.

This twin demon is somewhat different from the original, after all, the engine is different, which also makes Yang Feng a little bottomless, the drawings he gave to Kelly Johnson are P38J, and now the 1,400 horsepower engine is replaced by 1,200 horsepower, although a large number of light alloys are used, it is difficult to say whether it can fly out of 600 kilometers per hour, even Kelly Johnson himself has set the design speed at 500 kilometers.

However, there is no difference in terms of firepower, a 20mm cannon and four 12.7mm machine guns, such firepower is undoubtedly terrifying in this era.

With the noon sun, the twin demon specially painted black according to Yang Feng's request began to glide slowly on the runway, and everyone looked at this evil and weird fighter with a nervous expression. Immediately after that, it accelerated, pulled up, and the moment the plane took off, the entire test flight site burst into applause.

"Not bad!" The success of the first flight made Yang Feng pat Kelly Johnson on the shoulder with great satisfaction, he was now very satisfied with his chief engineer, and Johnson was busy and lowered his head modestly.

"Go back and arrange two little stars to play with you!" Yang Feng said with a wicked smile.

Kelly Johnson couldn't help but swallow.

The twin demon that took off quickly rose up. It's like a black ghost flying in the sky, the speed of climbing is very fast, and it is neat and neat, without the feeling of dragging mud and water like a large plane, even a layman like Yang Feng can clearly see that it is not a grade faster than the P26 he is familiar with, and the dexterity is far beyond the P26.

Because it was the first flight, in order to ensure safety, the pilot did not do too many complicated maneuvers, but for the sake of the beauties below who showed their thighs. He still showed off his flying skills to some extent, but Yang Feng found that the look on Kelly Johnson next to him was getting more and more wrong.

"What's the matter, Kelly, is there something wrong? I think this guy flies pretty well! Yang Feng asked suspiciously.

"No, the speed is not right!" Kelly Johnson said a little hard.

"Do you think it's flying too slowly? I don't think so, it's much faster than P26. Yang Feng said.

"It's not slow, it's too fast!" As he spoke, Kelly Johnson hurriedly took the radio and shouted into the microphone, "Will." What is your current speed? ”

"Six hundred and twenty kilometers! I feel like I'm riding on a disemboweled shell! The pilot shouted triumphantly over the microphone.

"Bastard, slow down and land!" Kelly Johnson roared. This speed has far exceeded his expectations, no one knows what will happen to Lu Dao, he doesn't want to have problems in front of the big boss, even for the sake of the two little female stars tonight, he has to ensure the success of the first flight.

The pilot, who was having a good time in the sky, had to slow down, and then reluctantly shook a few laps. Only then did he slowly land on the runway, and as soon as he landed, Kelly Johnson personally led a group of engineers to surround him, and took all kinds of tools to thoroughly inspect them.

Yang Feng walks over with Margaret and Fluttershy in his arms. Curious, he asked, "Kelly, what's the problem?" ”

Kelly Johnson wiped the oil on his face, then raised his head excitedly and said: "Boss, we need to modify the design parameters, at a speed of six hundred and twenty kilometers per hour, there is no problem with this plane at all, do you know?" The current world record is only 709 kilometers, and that is a dedicated racing aircraft, even if the fighter is still being designed, none of them can exceed 450 kilometers! ”

"So this is the fastest fighter in the world?" Yang Feng said with a smile.

"I don't believe anyone will be able to surpass it in speed for at least five years!" Kelly Johnson affirmed.

"In that case, we need to put some limits on it!" Yang Feng touched his chin and said.

"First of all, the flight speed cannot exceed 500 kilometers, and the external propaganda must also be at this speed! That's enough for us to promote. In addition, this speed must be kept secret, everyone present must sign a non-disclosure agreement, and it is best to add a speed limiting device to the aircraft! Yang Feng went on to say that he didn't want to scare the Japanese.

"For what?" Kelly Johnson, of course, would not have understood his good intentions.

"Kelly, we have to think for the long term, we have to rely on Pratt & Whitney to provide engines now, it's very unreasonable, we have to have our own engines, but we can't plug in the piston engines, even if we want to build them, we can't get around the patents in the hands of Wright, Pratt & Whitney, Allison, so we have to bet on jet engines, but if piston engines can fly at speeds of six or seven hundred kilometers per hour, then people will take the risk of welcoming a new concept of engine?" Yang Feng explained with some specious reasoning.

Kelly Johnson listened to Yang Feng's words a little dazedly, and estimated that he himself was a little confused.

"Kelly, listen to me, that's right!" Yang Feng patted him on the shoulder and said bitterly.

"Alright! You're the boss, it's up to you! But are you really that bullish on jet engines? Kelly Johnson said with a shrug.

"Of course, I can tell you very clearly that it is even possible for this engine to exceed the speed of sound for your aircraft." Yang Feng said as unfathomably as a magic stick.

"Supersonic?!" Kelly Johnson's jaw almost fell to the ground.

Yang Feng nodded very pretendedly, and then left with his two lovers in his arms.

Now his industry in the United States has basically finished inspecting, important projects. There are still rare earth mines left, but Yang Feng is not going to go there, this kind of factory is usually seriously polluted, he doesn't want to suck dust, just call Zhang Xinfu from the mine to report, in fact, you don't need Zhang Xinfu to come. The general manager of Yang's Mining is Fluttershy, and Lin Yin is also here to help, and he has already reported the basic situation as soon as he arrives.

"Now all the construction work has been basically completed, the only thing is the trouble in transportation, it is already the edge of the desert, we have to build a road by ourselves, but fortunately, the traffic volume is not very large, the road requirements are very low, just walk. Therefore, it is estimated that in another month, the first batch of rough ore powder will be able to be shipped! Zhang Xinfu said that he is now very different from the last time they met, and he is as tanned as a black charcoal block.

"Brother Xinfu, I'm sorry for you!" Yang Feng said with some emotion that he is a son of a family, and it is indeed surprising that he can work like this.

"It's all your own people, there's no need to be polite! Besides, as long as it's for the sake of fighting the Japanese. My job is really nothing. Zhang Xinfu waved his hand and said that Yang Feng had been fooling him. The reason why the performance of his self-propelled artillery far exceeds that of current artillery is because of the extensive use of rare earth materials, so he said so.

"Don't worry, if you have brothers, you will never let the Japanese cross the Great Wall!" Yang Feng patted his chest and said.

Seeing off Zhang Xinfu, Yang Feng took Margaret and set off for Atlanta. He needs pilots now, so these students at the aviation school are especially important.

There is nothing wrong with this, the aviation school has been open for nearly two years, and no one will hire Chinese pilots in the United States, except for some who have returned to China to join Jinyuan Airlines. Many of the old cadets are still here, and the two years of study have given them the ability to fly any kind of aircraft, but Yang Feng's Panda Air cannot use the Chinese for the time being, after all, he has to take care of the American feeling.

After going around the flight academy and selecting a hundred pilots for Jinyuan Airlines, he began to inquire about Margaret. Mitchell, it didn't take much effort, although Mitchell is just a nobody now, but her upper-class background makes it sound like it's not difficult for her to play.

"Who are you looking for?" When Yang Feng took Margaret and knocked on the door of the red three-story building in front of him, a middle-aged maid with a vigilant face came out of it.

"Hello, may I ask this is John. Mr. Marsh's house? We would like to visit Mrs. Marsh. Margaret said quickly.

"Wait a minute!" After the maid finished speaking, she turned around and went to report, and soon Yang Feng and the others were invited in.

"Hello, Mr. Yang, can I have anything to do for you?" Margaret. Mitchell looked at the strange man and woman in front of him suspiciously, Mitchell was in her early thirties at this time, and her good family environment made her look like she was at the age of full charm.

"Mrs. Marsh, I think you've heard my name, right?" Yang Feng said that he is still very confident in this, and he is now a big name in the United States.

"yes, I just didn't expect you to look younger than the newspapers." Mitchell said with a smile.

"Actually, I just registered a publishing company in New York, and I heard that you're working on a novel set in the Civil War, so I want to get your publishing rights, and you know that I'm still a shareholder in Fox Films, so I want to buy the rights to the film adaptation of your novel." Yang Feng said.

"Where did you know I was writing this novel?" Mitchell asked, somewhat curious.

"I hope you will forgive me, the person who told me the news, specifically asked me to keep it a secret for him." Yang Feng said.

Mitchell nodded.

"As for the money, I mean $50,000 each, but if you don't think it's appropriate, we can discuss that." Yang Feng said that MGM only spent $50,000 to buy the film adaptation rights.

"I'll wait for my husband to come back and make a decision, I'm just curious why you're going to read my novel, you haven't even read it." Mitchell said.

"How to say it! Actually I was interested in all the books about that period of history, and I thought it was a regrettable war, a war that turned away from the American spirit, and I don't think that Lincoln emancipated the black slaves, they just enslaved them in a different way, but imposed notoriety on the people of the South, and even once destroyed this beautiful city in the way of barbarians.

I've always wanted someone to be able to show the war in a real way, not with the dizzying historical materials, but from the perspective of an ordinary person to describe a history that belongs to the civilians, not to the politicians.

I actually already have such a novel in my hands, but I don't think it's enough, I need one, a history written by the people of Atlanta! Yang Feng said in an emotional voice.

Mitchell was clearly impressed by him, and his face showed the feeling of meeting a confidant.

"Can I tell me the name of your book?" She asked curiously.

"Of course, no problem, in fact I have it with me now." Yang Feng shrugged and said, then stretched out his hand to Margaret, and the little goblin hurriedly took out a novel that was not too thick from his small bag.

"Hope it helps!" Yang Feng smiled and handed it to Mitchell with both hands.

On the cover of that book was Leng Shan. (To be continued......)
