Rebirth of the Flying Era

Nowadays, the food problem is the most important problem. Once the food worries are solved, many other problems will be solved.

 Now, the emergence of Borneo provides the best opportunity to solve this problem.

Du Fei estimates that it will take at most three years until all the arable land in Borneo is cultivated and the scale of food cultivation is fully expanded.

 At that time, the two grain producing areas in the northeast, one in the south and one in the north, will soon fill up the domestic granary reserves.

 Once you have enough food, you can raise pigs and chickens.

  As people eat more meat, they will also eat less grain.

Just as Du Fei was happily thinking about the future, suddenly the phone on his desk rang.

Du Fei came back to his senses, reached out to pick up the phone and said "hello", then showed a smile: "Oh? He wants to see me? That's good~ let him come."

After finishing speaking, Du Fei put down the phone with a playful smile on his face.

The person who called just now was Director Wang of the aircraft manufacturing factory. He said that it was McCain from the foreign expert group who wanted to meet with Du Fei.

 Duffy could have predicted this situation a long time ago. If McCain was smart enough, he would definitely come to him.

 As expected.

 About an hour later, a car parked in front of the fire equipment company.

McKaykin looked serious. He got out of the back seat of the car, glanced at the unit plaque with white and black letters, and raised his black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose with his hand.

 Behind him was a guard from the security department of the aircraft factory.

 This is a special treatment for foreign experts. One is protection, and the other is surveillance.

McKekin stepped through the door.

The doorman inside was notified in advance, confirmed his identity, registered, let the guard go to the reception room, and then took McCain to find Zhang Wenzhong.

 Zhang Wenzhong took people inside to Du Fei's office again.

Du Fei put down the work at hand, stood up with a smile and said: "Mr. McCain, please sit down."

McKaykin had no expression. He stared at Du Fei and said solemnly: "It's you. I guessed it right, right?"

This was nonsense, but Du Fei knew it well, and said to Zhang Wenzhong with a smile: "Old Zhang, you go back first, I will talk to Mr. McCain alone, and by the way, prepare lunch for lunch." He raised his hand and looked at his watch: "It's almost noon, we can't let our foreign friends go back hungry."

 Zhang Wenzhong responded and exited.

Du Fei then looked at McCain and said with a smile: "Mr. Jin, don't be impatient. Let's sit down and talk slowly."

McKaykin took a deep breath and faced Du Fei's smile, which made him feel troubled.

When he was young, his father was a big shot in the local area and took him to some social gatherings.

There he saw some larger figures who could make his father flatter him, and their eyes were exactly like Du Fei's.

That look that seems to have mastered everything, that expression that could crush you to death at any time but still smile.

McKaykin kept reminding himself to be calm and never be impulsive at this time.

Impulsive anger will not solve any problem, it will only make him fall into a more difficult situation.

McKaykin pursed his lips and sat on the sofa.

Du Fei smiled: "What should I drink? Coffee or Coke? I like your Coke very much."

 “Thank you, just plain water will do.” McCain didn’t think any **** Coke could make him happy.

Du Fei didn't care, and poured him a cup of warm boiled water, put the cup on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and sat next to him: "Relax a little, don't be too tense, I think we will become 'better' friend."

Hearing Du Fei's emphasis on 'gentle', McCain said helplessly: "Mr. Du, you are Mr. Bush's friend and a big shot. I am just an insignificant little person..."

Du Fei interrupted him: "Mr. Jin, you are too arrogant to belittle yourself. In my eyes, you are not a small person. Your value is far more than 1.2 million US dollars."

 Hearing this number, McCain's heart sank.

If there was a glimmer of luck in his heart just now, it is completely gone now.

 He knew that what happened this time was confirmed, and it was the hateful Easterner in front of him who did it.

 But this is the scariest thing, because this vicious predator regards him as prey.

McKekin regretted that he should not have coveted the business trip subsidy. If he had not come, there would not have been so many unnecessary troubles.

 But the matter has come to this, and there is no use regretting it. He can only try his best to deal with it.

McCain had enough time to say: "Sir, I know that Cindy can't buy those dogs for no reason...I mean the so-called insurance. She is my wife. I know her very well, and she will not sign any guarantee for others. protocol…"

Du Fei smiled: "Of course, you can trust your wife, what next?"

McCain said helplessly: "Sir, I want to know what exactly you want me to do? I'm just a technician. I really don't want to cause trouble or be found by those fbls."

Dufey didn't want to hide it from the beginning. In fact, he was able to find McCain so quickly because he deliberately hinted at it.

"Don't be nervous, we Huaguo people never make things difficult for our friends." Du Fei said unhurriedly: "On the contrary, we are very generous to our friends. I heard that you still have a house loan of 1.2 million US dollars."

McKekin's face turned even more ugly.

Dufey continued: "I don't think my friend should be tortured by the pressure of debt."

McKekin pursed his lips and remained silent.

 Du Fei continued: "Isn't it 1.2 million US dollars? You see, it's not a problem at all for me."

McCain took a deep breath and begged: "Sir, what do you want?"

Du Fei reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "You don't understand what I want?"

McKaykin shook his head instinctively: "No way, I can't betray my motherland."

"Motherland?" Du Fei sneered: "If I remember correctly, you should be Irish, right? Your motherland is in Europe, what does it have to do with America? Besides, I just asked you to do your best to complete this cooperation project. Is there any problem with this?"

McKaykin knew that Dufy wanted more than this, otherwise there would be no need to bother with him.

"Listen to me, Your Excellency, I know your purpose, but it's useless for you to come to me. The backwardness of your aviation industry is systemic, and even ten of me can't change this situation."

Du Fei said lightly: "Of course I know, but I know you must have a way, Mr. Jin."

McCain was helpless and angry: "You are forcing things on others! If you insist on doing this, then I have no choice but to report it to the boss and apply to return to China. I hope it will not affect the current cooperation by then."

Du Fei smiled and said, "Are you threatening me?"

McKaykin gritted his teeth: "It's not a threat, it's a reminder."

Du Fei stretched out his hand: "Of course, you can go at any time, but you have to understand one thing. This cooperation is not only our need, but also your Wanshengtun's need. Maybe you haven't read the newspaper these days... "

As he spoke, Du Fei took out several English newspapers from the drawer and threw them one by one in front of McCain: "Halloween Post, Big Apple Times..."

McKaykin took it over. The front page headlines were all articles reporting on the ongoing aviation cooperation between the two parties.

 As described above, they dismantled the fighter plane and showed it to our experts without any concealment...

The ending even praised this cooperation as a great victory of unprecedented, incredible, unparalleled and unimaginable significance.

McKaykin couldn’t help but turn pale after reading this.

 He is not only a technician, but his family used to be wealthy. He followed his father and was influenced by his words and deeds, and he has a deep understanding of Zhengzhi.

 He understands what this trend of public opinion means.

This has become a positive achievement. Now whoever wants to deny this cooperation or even discredit this cooperation will be a slap in the face.

 At that time, without Du Fei taking action, someone will shut him up completely.

　　It means literally ‘shut up’.

"See?" Du Fei chuckled, seeing that McCain had already thought of the stakes involved: "Believe me, you have no better choice. By cooperating with me, you will not only get the order for this project, but I will also The bank in Xiangjiang will open an anonymous secret account for you, with US$1.2 million already deposited in it."

McKaykin still persisted. Although he was shaken in his heart, he still gritted his teeth.

He knew that once he gave in today, he would never have the chance to look back.

Du Fei waited for a moment, but when he saw that he still hadn't let go, he took out his last bargaining chip: "Mr. Jin, I'm sorry that this may touch upon your painful past, but I still want to remind you that your father may not have committed suicide... "

McKaygin’s eyes suddenly widened, his face full of shock: “What did you say!”

Du Fei did not explain. He stood up and took a brown paper document bag from his desk and handed it over: "You can see for yourself."

McKaykin quickly opened the document bag. Inside was a thick stack of English materials, some handwritten and some copied.

McKaykin’s lips trembled slightly and he began to read quickly.

Du Fei was not in a hurry, sitting on the sofa and waiting for him to watch slowly.

 About forty minutes, McCain finished reading all the materials and looked up at Du Fei again.

 He didn’t ask nonsense like, “Is this all true?”

Moreover, much of the information provided by Du Fei is consistent with his original memory.

 Furthermore, because of his father's character, even if he went bankrupt, he would never commit suicide.

He felt very suspicious at the beginning, but he was just a young man in his twenties who had lost everything. Even if he had doubts, he did not have the resources or energy to investigate, so he could only hide his doubts in his heart.

 Now it was as if Du Fei had directly brought it to the table and made the matter clear.

McKay King said: "Can you help me get revenge?"

Du Fei smiled and asked, "What do you think?"

McKekin pursed his lips. Those who can be brothers with Jie Bushi certainly have equal strength.

The person who forced his father to death was just a local factory owner who was a multi-millionaire and a big shot in their area. But compared to Du Fei and Bu Shi, they are several levels behind.

  More importantly, Du Fei was able to master so much in a short period of time and obviously invested a lot of resources.

McKaykin fell into silence, but this time he spoke in less than a minute: "Okay, you win. McDonnell Douglas is currently developing a fighter jet code-named F-15..."

Du Fei was shocked because he didn't expect an unexpected surprise.

 Originally, he did not expect McCain to know the technical details of the F-15, because McCain had no experience participating in the F-15 project on his resume.

 After asking again, I found out that although McCain was not involved in the project, because of his position in the company, he had access to a lot of development progress and technical details about the F-15.

Du Fei couldn't help but be overjoyed.

  In the entire 20th century, the most successful fighter jet was the F-15, and the Su-27 in conjunction with it was an instant hit.

However, although the Su-27 is famous, it cannot withstand the collapse of the SLA, and it is not as good as the F-15.

　　Previously, Du Fei’s purpose in engaging in this cooperation was not really to let America’s experts help us improve our fighter planes. His real purpose was to get in touch with these people.

 Only through contact can it be possible to interact and get something you want.

His goal is Northrop's YF-17, which failed to compete with the F-16 next year, which is the F-18 that will be used on aircraft carriers in the future.

To be honest, Du Fei didn’t dare to have the idea of ​​​​F-15.

Who knows that planting willows without intention will create shade.

McKekin took the initiative to mention the F-15. Isn’t it a coincidence?

 But then McCain came up with a splash of cold water.

McKaykin had regained his composure at this time, and even when he was sure that his father had not committed suicide, something changed in his whole person.

 It seems like he has returned to his youth, the McKay King who thrived in college and thrived in international competitions.

 His reaction was sharp and his thinking was clear. He mentioned the F-15 because he knew the weight of this aircraft. Only by using the most important bargaining chip could he maximize his value with Du Fei.

 In fact, the F-15 is not a piece of cake that is both visible and intangible to Du Fei.

McKekin said: "I can provide you with some F-15 technology, but you can't use it directly."

Du Fei nodded happily: "Of course, we never betray our friends."

McKaykin smiled, already in the mood, and he did not trust Du Fei's promise.

But it doesn't matter, as long as his value is greater and he may provide more important technology in the future, he is not afraid that Du Fei will sell him.

  Even getting a steady stream of benefits from Du Fei, money means everything in America.

McKaykin then said: "Du, can I call you that?"

　　Du Fei said: "Of course, we are friends, Mike!"

McCain said: "Du, I don't mean to offend. With your current technical level, even if I bring you a complete set of drawings of the F-15, you still won't be able to build it. The engine, radar, electronic control bus, combat system...every aspect." They are all shortcomings. To put it bluntly, your level is at least twenty years behind America."

Duffy said nothing, because what McCain said was the truth.

And he must have a purpose for saying this, otherwise there is no need to tell such a truth that can easily make people angry.

Sure enough, McCain continued: "Instead of focusing on the technology of the F-15, you should fundamentally improve the level of the entire aviation manufacturing industry."

Du Fei's heart suddenly moved: "Do you have any ideas?"

McKay King said: "I can start a course and bring in the best aviation experts in your country. I can give them America's most advanced ideas and the most advanced technology to improve your industry level."

As Du Fei listened, his brain was thinking rapidly, and he couldn't help but secretly sigh that McCain was smart.

 Throw out the details of the F-15 first, and then put forward his true intention.

 Obviously, this small class teaching method is the safest for him.

 With this small class, as long as he can tell something substantial, Du Fei will not press him to come up with F-15 technology.

As long as he doesn't reveal his technology, he has no mistakes in principle. As for giving lessons to Huaguo Ren, it is only part of the cooperation between the two parties, and there is no fault in him.

However, in Du Fei's opinion, this idea was just to comfort himself.

If America really found him guilty, there would be no need for evidence at all, let alone going to court.

His preparations are based on the premise that people can reason with him, talk about the law, and talk about evidence.

As for McCain, he may not know this, but he just took the first step and still wants to leave a way out for himself.

  Unfortunately, in this case, there is no so-called escape route for anyone.

 …

 The next day, in the canteen of the aircraft factory.

 In the large private room of Xiaozao on the second floor, a blackboard was hung on the wall. The large round table in the middle was removed and replaced with school tables and chairs.

 At night, Director Wang called McCain here under the guise of inviting him to drink.

●The people participating in this ‘small tutorial class’ were a few people from the passenger aircraft project team who came from Beijing Aircraft Factory, Shenyang Aircraft Factory, and Shanghai Aircraft Factory.

There are a total of twenty places, and Du Fei’s family must have taken the majority, taking ten of them.

There are ten left, half of which are Shenfei Factory and Shangfei Factory. But in fact, these people from Fei Factory have already entered Du Fei's urn and cannot be returned.

McKaykin stood in the front and talked directly about the most cutting-edge things in America.

These experts below are also unambiguous. They are all the top people in the country. The questions they raised are quite sharp and to the point.

Dufey also set up a camera and two tape recorders to save all the audio and video of the scene.

 During the day, the two project teams were also making progress step by step in improving the J-8.

Because Du Fei drew a $500 million pie, Li Aode also used some skills in the hope of winning the project.

 But he was not as sincere as McCain, but felt that Huaguo should be grateful if he came up with some similar technologies.

But having said that, even if Li Ao showed his true ability, he would not be able to defeat McCain this time.

　　This competition has ended since McCain started taking classes in the small kitchen private room in the cafeteria.

 When the results were finally announced, Li Aode looked extremely ugly.

His and McCain's improvements to the J-8 are very similar in appearance. They both canceled the nose air intake and replaced it with two-rib air intake.

 And increase the thickness and strength of the wings to hang new anti-air and anti-ground missiles.

The difference is that McCain uses more advanced radar and flight control systems, as well as electronic equipment internally.

Although these things need to be imported from America, the result is better-looking than Li Aode's plan.

At the final plan discussion meeting, Li Aode kept staring at McCain, as if he was scolding you for not practicing martial ethics.

●For those five hundred million US dollars, we have no shame and take everything from outside. Can those advanced technologies be given to flowers and fruits!

McKekin seemed as if he hadn't seen it, but he was sarcastic in his heart.

 Collaboration was proposed by the big shots above and approved by the commander-in-chief. We are all part-time workers. Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf?

How can I just use the best technology? I also gave classes to their experts and paid them 1.2 million US dollars~

 …

 After the meeting, Du Fei directly announced that McDonnell Douglas had won the cooperation project.

As for General Dynamics, I can only say that it is very regrettable, but it did not let these people go back empty-handed. In addition to the promised salary, each person was given a gift, plus a red envelope of three thousand US dollars.

There are only ten people in total, and they have done a great job. They will definitely say how good their trip was when they get back.

The 30,000 U.S. dollars spent will definitely achieve a good result.

 This is a wedge. Some engineers or technicians from America may come to work at Du Fei in the future.

 After seeing off the General Dynamics people, Du Fei went straight to Zhu’s father to report the situation.

Papa Zhu looked at the results, took off his glasses and squeezed the bridge of his nose with his hand. He looked up at Du Fei and frowned: "If we improve according to this plan, our aircraft will purchase at least 30% of its parts from America."

Although Dad Zhu is not a professional, his words hit the point.

Du Fei explained: "Dad, there's nothing we can do about it. We have too many shortcomings. 30% have already gone through two rounds of screening. If we can use our things, use our own, but some of them are really irreplaceable." !”

Dad Zhu pursed his lips and said with a serious expression: "But this time, I'm afraid they will pinch his life. The relationship between the two families is good now, but what should we do if there is a conflict in the future?"

Du Fei said: "That's what I think. Now is an opportunity. Nico is under a lot of pressure to end the war as soon as possible. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to agree to sell us these things so happily. Apart from being slightly more expensive, there is nothing question."

Dad Zhu nodded. The flight control buses and radar systems used in these aircraft were not available even if he wanted to buy them in the past.

Du Fei continued: "Let's take this opportunity to build dozens of new J-82s for emergency response. This improved fighter, according to America's generation, is a second-generation fighter even if it cannot reach the third-generation aircraft. The level of combat effectiveness and modernization of second-generation aircraft far exceeds that of conventional second-generation aircraft. With these aircraft, we will have aircraft that can be used for at least the next ten years."

Dad Zhu said: "You want to use this time to develop our own third-generation machine through imitation."

Du Fei was silent for a few seconds: "Dad, it's not that I have the ambition of others to destroy my prestige. With our current basic conditions, it is very difficult to build a third-generation aircraft within ten years. To be honest, it is very difficult."

Dad Zhu frowned, he still believed in Du Fei's judgment.

 Being able to start from scratch and build a Jingfei factory in a few years is enough to show that Du Fei has a very deep understanding of this industry.

 See things more clearly than those who are experts in the field.

 Previously, Du Fei insisted on building a large turbofan aircraft instead of following the trend and building a jet aircraft, which is proof of this.

Dad Zhu said in a deep voice: "That is to say...for a long time, the fate of our fighter planes will be in America's hands."

Du Fei nodded silently, this is reality and there is no way to deny it.

Instead, Dad Zhu waved his hand: "Forget it, anything is better than nothing. At least there are ready-made things that allow us to follow suit. As for the issue of parts import, as long as Sulian is here, everything will be easy to discuss. .”
