Rebirth of the Flying Era

 Chapter 1400 August

Regarding Du Fei's worries, John Northrop immediately patted his chest and assured that this would definitely not happen.

Du Fei said he believed it, but in his heart he just thought it was a joke. Anyone who believes in such a promise deserves to be deceived.

Even if John Northrop breaks his chest, he cannot guarantee this. Once someone wants to target them, any department can make their cooperation come to an end.

 At that point, all John Northrop could do was spread his hands, shrug, and say he was very sorry.

What Du Fei wants to invest is real money.

 Furthermore, Northrop does not fully master all core technologies, and the design of the YF-17 does not use all their own technologies.

For example, aircraft engines, air-to-air missiles, and operating systems all need to be purchased from outside.

If America uses it for herself, of course there is no problem in doing so, and the various supporting facilities are also complete.

Dufey does not have such qualifications at the moment. He is willing to spend money and cooperate with Northrop for no other purpose than technology.

 But Northrop itself is only an integrator of solutions. Even based on the current yf-17 design plan, it is difficult to truly create an f-18.

Duffy has two options. One is to give up. First get Northrop's plan, then store it as a technical reserve, then patiently wait for the direction of history, and then take it out when the time is right in the future.

The other is to eat one bite at a time, and put the rest aside for the time being. While the relationship with America is good now, the engines, calculations, flight control systems, etc., can be bought for the time being. No matter what, first After launching the third-generation mobile phone, even if it is blocked by the other party, we must first solve any existing problems.

 After that, we have to solve the problem one by one. The engine cannot be used as an engine, the flight control cannot be used as flight control, and the radar cannot be used as radar.

 In the end, it took ten or even twenty years, just like Du Fei obtained the Su-27 from Sailian before traveling through time, and slowly transformed from start to finish, from the inside to the outside.

By that time, Huaguo will have a real system for designing and manufacturing advanced fighter jets.

 After much deliberation, I would definitely choose the latter. It is better than nothing.

The third-generation fighter jet is too tempting for Du Fei. The country already has some foundations. As long as we get Northrop's integration plan, we may not be unable to create a domestic version of the F-18 fighter jet, which can use some improvements. J-8 technology.

 In this way, even if it is not as good as the original F-18, it can still achieve 60 to 70% of the performance. It is not a good attempt.

Even so, Duffy still had to find ways to avoid various barriers within America.

The first step is to take a detour and register the company in America, and the company's legal person and shareholders are all American people with good roots.

 At least on the surface, it doesn’t appear that this company has anything to do with Dufei or Huaguo.

 Let this company come forward and cooperate with Northrop.

 …

On the other hand, in a holiday villa on the outskirts of All Saints Tunnel.

Tracy and his wife were telling Nico about Duffy's matchmaking for them.

Originally, they flew over overnight, but Nico had urgent business, so they didn't meet until a day later.

After hearing what his daughter and son-in-law said, Nico frowned slightly and thought about it.

 couldn't help but talk, pursed his lips and said: "Du Fei... wasn't the bargaining chip last time enough? He actually came to give another big gift."

Tracy and Edward were not stupid, and they heard that there was something in Nico's words.

Tracy asked: "Father, is there anything difficult?"

Nico waved his hand and said: "Forget it, at this point, there is no point in thinking so much. The last time you and Edward went to Nanyang, our relationship was already bound. It is impossible to cut it off now."

Edward was silent, while Tracy frowned and said worriedly: "Father, you said earlier that Du Fei had big plans, so we..."

Nico said: "It doesn't matter, we can afford what he wants, and Du has always been a good person and has a good reputation. It's better to cooperate with him than to trust those two-faced guys like Rockefeller."

Tracy didn't know what to say. She knew that she was almost stabbed in the back this time, which made Nico afraid of being bitten by a snake for ten years.

 Furthermore, the funds sent by Du Fei at this time are also crucial to her family.

 In the next two years of his term, Nico must build a strong enough firewall for the family, which requires not only power, but also a lot of money.

 In America, it is difficult to move without money, even for the commander-in-chief.

"Father, let's go on next..." Edward lost no time in speaking.

Nico looked at his son-in-law and said in a deep voice: "Work with Du Fei. At least until I leave office, Du Fei will be our most reliable ally."

 "I understand~" Edward responded, hearing the implication of Nico's words.

 The most reliable allies are not just words, but are backed by the power in Nico's hands.

 …

On the other hand, Du Fei stayed at Twisting for another two days.

 At this time, we have received a reply from Tracy and his wife, indicating that they can take on Ms. Yu’s ‘case’.

Dufey knew it was done.

 This incident marks a tacit understanding between the two parties to some extent.

 General Commander Nico will provide convenience to Du Fei to a certain extent.

 Subsequently, Duffy's new company registered in America successfully started cooperation with Northrop.

Ms. Yu also contacted Edward's law firm through Du Fei and began the legal process of unfreezing the property.

At this time, Du Fei, after participating in several activities according to procedure, returned to the country with Dad Zhu’s delegation.

 On the plane, the atmosphere was quite lively.

Dad Zhu has achieved great results in America this time. Not only did he generate a lot of popularity in America, he also made a strong voice at the United Fruit Conference.

 Because of the improved relationship with America, coupled with the fact that Indu was taught a hard lesson through Li's aid to Korea, and Du Fei's previous large-scale air assault in Siam, the whole world became more aware of the power of flowers and fruits.

Whether it is Li Yuanchao in Shanbei, or Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng in Borneo, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is an extension of the power of flowers and fruits.

Nanyang itself was the traditional sphere of influence of Huaguo, but now it is just the return of power.

 Coupled with America's eagerness to escape in South Vietnam, during this period she almost acquiesced in Huaguo's power in Nanyang. This is also an important reason why Du Fei was able to go so smoothly in Nanyang.

 Otherwise, as long as America tried to stumbling him a little bit, Du Fei wouldn't have been able to do it so smoothly.

 After finishing the work at hand, Dad Zhu called Du Fei into the room in the middle of the plane.

 Although it has been sound-insulated, when the aircraft is flying, the sound of the engine running can still be clearly heard from inside the fuselage.

But this is much better than the unmodified transport aircraft, at least you don't have to deliberately raise your voice when speaking.

Dad Zhu handed Du Fei a cigarette casually. He was in a good mood and said with a smile: "I heard that you have gained a lot this time~ Cooperating with Northrop to develop a third-generation fighter jet?"

Du Fei took out a lighter and lit it for Dad Zhu first: "The cooperation is just to put money on our faces, that is, we are taking the opportunity to see if we can get some technology. Northrop lost to General Motors in their air force bidding. I don't want to The capital invested in the early stage was wasted, so we have the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity." Dad Zhu nodded and asked: "Is there any chance to get the real thing?"

Du Fei lit the cigarette himself: "I will definitely get some, but...these Meguo guys are very cunning. They are still in private contact with the Navy, hoping to get orders from the Navy." At this point, Du Fei paused. After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "If they succeed, I'm afraid..."

Needless to say, Dad Zhu also understood the outcome of this situation. He frowned and said, "Then let them not get it. When I get back, I will ask the comrades in the relevant departments to cooperate as much as possible."

Du Fei's heart moved and he chuckled: "That's perfect."

Dad Zhu sighed and said: "I try to be more restrained recently."

Du Fei was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Dad Zhu's reminder meant, and hurriedly asked: "Dad, is something wrong?"

Although he is outside these days, Du Fei knows that Dad Zhu has very close ties with the country and will get the news as soon as possible if any situation arises.

Dad Zhu took a deep breath of cigarette and did not speak.

Du Fei saw a lot of things from his expression and couldn't help but swallow.

Although it is only 74 years now, many things have changed since he time traveled.

 Fortunately, judging from what Dad Zhu meant, it shouldn't be a big problem. He just reminded Du Fei that at this time, he should hide his strength and bide his time.

"Dad, I understand," Du Fei replied seriously, feeling a little confused.

 Because of his previous factors, many variables have appeared in the world after the time travel. Even now, he is not sure what direction the future will develop in.

 But Du Fei was very sure of one thing, at least he avoided some unnecessary detours.

 Being in Shanbei and Nanyang were all real benefits, and he had a clear conscience.

 As for the next step, it is indeed time to stop.

Whether it is the development of domestic fire equipment companies or that of Borneo in Southeast Asia, it will take a period of time to settle.

 As for Sulawesi Island, although Liu Kuangfu and Yang Zhigang are proceeding smoothly, such a large island and a population of several million cannot be mobilized overnight.

This cooperation with Subian, Du Fei wants land and Subian wants people, is destined to be a long-term plan, so we must be patient and not impatient.

Du Fei came out of Dad Zhu's single room and returned to his seat, thinking silently in his heart.

 After twenty hours of flight, the plane crossed the vast Pacific and landed at the Beijing Airport.

 It is already the end of April, and Labor Day will be celebrated in a few days.

 The weather in Beijing is full of spring.

 …

 Time flies so fast, August is here in a blink of an eye.

The summer in Beijing is unbearably hot, and it hasn’t rained for more than a month.

This year's southeast style is particularly large, and there are a lot of construction sites in Beijing, which is always filled with annoying wind and sand.

Especially in the north of the city, next to Yanda University, the new campus of the University of Fire Science and Technology is under full construction.

ˆ With Shen Jianing’s large-scale construction team, the construction of the new campus is progressing very quickly. Thirty teaching buildings and dormitory buildings are under construction at the same time. Various large-scale equipment is also quite rare in this era.

 There are more than 50 hook machines for digging foundations alone, and there are more than 3,000 workers on the construction site.

Visible to the naked eye, the building is growing upwards, and one floor can be built in about a week.

 Because it is the teaching building and dormitory of the school, it is not particularly high.

By August, the prototype of the entire campus will be visible.

There are also various hypothetical pictures of the new campus dormitories placed next to Yanda and Shuimu with great fanfare. The dormitories for boys and girls are all six-person. The most important thing is that each room has a bathroom. This condition is not to mention a student dormitory. The single dormitories for teachers in various schools are incomparable, which makes people jealous.

At the same time, the four-engine large transport aircraft at the Shanghai Aircraft Factory has entered the final stage of mass production.

 After more than half a year of test flights, there are no flaws in the design. In addition, relatively mature technologies are used. With the foundation of the H-8 and Y-8, it is relatively easy to produce the Y-9.

However, with the success of large aircraft one after another, the effect this time has long been inferior to the sensational effect caused by the successful first test flight of the H-8.

 In the first half of the year, through various efforts, the college entrance examination, which had been suspended for several years, was resumed.

 The national examination was conducted in June.

 Although it is still basically a parallel mechanism between workers, peasants, and soldiers and examinations, the new examination mechanism is equivalent to opening up another upward path. This is undoubtedly the greatest good news for students who have no chance to obtain worker, peasant, and soldier qualifications.

However, unlike expectations, there was no particularly enthusiastic response to the start of the exam.

 Mainly in the past few years, with the improvement of the economy, factories not only in the capital but also across the country are recruiting workers.

 Coupled with the large amount of capital obtained from India and India, it has continuously invested in domestic industries, thereby eating up most of the labor force who graduated from junior high school and high school.

 In the current situation, if they can become formal workers in state-owned factories, most people will choose to become workers instead of taking the uncertain exam.

In Southeast Asia, the situation in Borneo continues to improve. After continuous land reclamation and cultivation, food production has begun to explode.

 With the advantage of three crops a year, this year’s grain output will definitely exceed that of Northeast China.

In addition to local consumption, grain has begun to be fed back into the country on a large scale. In coastal areas where transportation is more convenient, grain storage depots in many places are already full.

 Having food in your hand means you have confidence in your heart.

 At first, I didn’t dare to raise chickens and pigs for fear of not having enough food to eat, but now I have started to increase the scale.

 Then there is Sulawei Island, which has been laid out for more than half a year.

As various news continue to ferment, and Liu Kuangfu and Yang Zhigang make some noise near the volcano from time to time, it has become the mainstream opinion that the super volcano on the island may erupt and endanger the entire island.

Finally, feeling that the fire was almost over, Subian started the next step of his plan, establishing a refugee settlement in southern Sumatra.

At the same time, news came out from Sulawe Island that a large gold mine was discovered in southern Sumatra, and someone became rich due to gold mining.

 Beginning to stimulate the indigenous people of Sulawei to migrate out...

America, by August, Commander Nico, who originally had to resign due to the scandal, completely changed his direction due to the appearance of Du Fei, and is still firmly sitting on the throne of All Saints Tunnel.

On the contrary, the original winner, Rockefeller, was caught in the scandal of bribing parliamentarians, and was attacked by the union, and fell into a large-scale strike...

 Everyone knows that the war between Nico and Rockefeller is far from over.

 And Du Fei, also in August, had to make an important choice.
