Rebirth of the Flying Era Chapter 1291

Chapter 1291 1972 (10,000 words)

Director Li smiled and said: "That's what I meant! Tell me, what's the matter? Bringing us such a big Buddha to beg for alms in a remote place like ours, is it going to make people alive?"

Dean Wang said with a smile: "Old Li, don't complain, you really can't get away with this matter. Shenfei is engaged in fighter jets. You know the situation of Shanghai Aircraft. Those who have built large aircrafts in China are capable of building large aircrafts." Besides you, who else is here from the plane?"

Director Li smiled bitterly. He was right. Although he was not in the capital, he had heard some rumors.

 It's just that in the eyes of outsiders, this turmoil is more like a competition between Beijing and Shanghai for a large aircraft project.

 In addition, Factory Director Li tends to be a technocrat, and he does not know much about some of his personal connections.

Director Li said: "If I raise my head or shrink it, I will get stabbed~"

Dean Wang said: "What if that's not the case? But having said that, Lao Li, don't be aggrieved. Du Fei is here this time. If that old guy named Chen comes, hum..."

Director Li also knows about Professor Chen, and it will definitely be difficult to deal with him if he comes.

 Dean Wang continued: "Besides, there are some situations that you don't know much about..." Dean Wang briefly talked about the dispute between 'jet' and 'turboprop'.

Director Li immediately grasped the key point: "You mean... Du Fei is a vortex sect?"

Dean Wang smiled and said: "So I say you should be lucky~ People don't look down on the Todoroki-6 that you treat as a treasure."

 Director Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Dean Wang continued: "As for the Y-8 project, you have completed the preliminary work, and the next step will be handed over to Shaanxi Fei. I think it is better to hand it over directly to Du Fei."

Director Li frowned: "I'm afraid it's hard to explain to Shaanxi Fei~"

Dean Wang smiled and did not continue. In fact, when Director Li said this, he was already considering the pros and cons of doing so.

At the same time, Du Fei also welcomed a guest at the guest house where he was staying.

"Director Wang! I'm sorry, I'm a junior and I should take the initiative to visit you." Du Fei shook hands with Wang Changyou tightly.

This Factory Director Wang Changyou Wang is exactly the Uncle Wang mentioned by Zhang Lan, who is now Director Wang of Shaanxi Fei.

Shaanxi Fei was established not long ago. It was just established in 1969, and it has only been two years now.

However, the foundation is not weak. Many experts and technicians were transferred from YOFC, and Shaanxi Aircraft Corporation was established with a purpose and was prepared to undertake the production tasks of Y-8.

Du Fei had already contacted Wang Changyou before arriving.

 Because Zhang Lan's father had said hello in advance, the communication between the two parties was very smooth.

 The next morning, Du Fei met Director Li in the reception room of Changfei.

"Comrade Du Fei, there was something urgent in the factory yesterday, so I couldn't pick you up in person." Director Li said politely with a smile.

Du Fei also responded with ease: "No, no, I'm disturbing you. I've long heard that Changfei is the cradle of large aircraft in our motherland..."

 After a business exchange of blows, both parties got down to business.

　　After hearing Du Fei finish his appeal, Director Li couldn't help but frown and said thoughtfully: "This... I'm afraid it won't be easy to handle!"

Du Fei has no other request for this trip, he just wants people.

He wants aircraft R&D personnel, engineering and technical personnel, and various supporting personnel. It can be said that he has a big mouth.

If these requirements were really agreed to, the Changan Aircraft Manufacturing Factory would have to be cut in half at least.

Director Li is an old man, and he knows in his heart that he is asking for an exorbitant price and has to pay back the money, and he also hears a bit of a drunkard who is not interested in drinking.

 Until a lot of back and forth, both sides finally made their positions clear.

 Director Li's bottom line is that the core of YOFC cannot be moved.

Du Fei asked Factory Director Li to cooperate and directly merge the Shaanxi Fei Factory into the fire-fighting equipment company. At the same time, YOFC would also send out a group of technical personnel.

 At Du Fei's request, Director Li slammed the table angrily, blew his beard, stared and shouted, "How unreasonable!"

 Even called the dedicated hotline directly to Director Nie.

 But in the end, I had no choice but to accept it.

 Because this is the reward Du Fei deserves.

　　 Last time I came back from South Asia, there was no definite statement about Du Fei's achievements and rewards.

 It's not that anyone wants to make a fuss about it, but there is really no precedent to follow.

First of all, Du Fei's identity, even if he is not from the army, is not considered to be in the official government. He is a higher-level ministry that is not directly under the company.

 This is very difficult to do.

Moreover, Du Fei's contribution this time was so great that most people would not dare to comment casually.

 Another problem is that Du Fei is too young.

 He was born in 1946, so he is only 26 years old now.

Later, Du Fei took the initiative and expressed his hope to turn the rewards into resources for fire-fighting equipment.

Now, Du Fei will swallow Shaanxi Feichang with the first bite.

Moreover, in his plan, it is not just annexation, but relocation of all personnel, equipment, and production lines to the capital.

 In fact, Du Fei's most ideal goal was the Changfei Factory, but he knew that was simply impossible, so he settled for the next best thing.

 Fortunately, although the technical strength of Shaanxi Fei Factory is somewhat inferior, it is more professionally matched.

Because of the favorable conditions from above, Wang Changyou's active cooperation from below, and the fact that he was moving to the capital, he could bring his family members with him, and he also had a Beijing household registration. As soon as these preferential conditions were announced, there was not much resistance among the workers and middle- and lower-level technicians in the factory. .

 As for the relocation process, it is actually relatively simple.

 In the early stage, Du Fei mainly wanted people, so he organized a special train to get them back.

 When he arrived in the capital, Shen Jianing went back to make arrangements in advance, and the important design and technical personnel were placed with the fire equipment company.

　　The building was built before, and the residents who originally lived in the two courtyards next to it all moved out.

Now all the three-way courtyards and a large courtyard in the back garden are freed up, which can be enough for one or two hundred people to work after a little rest.

 Others were temporarily arranged to go to Factory 8270.

 At its peak, the 8270 Factory had more than 10,000 employees, but now it has only returned to 60 to 70%, and the dormitories are all ready.

Du Fei is very wealthy and will definitely go all out for the 'H-8' project.

 He has applied for a large piece of land next to the 8270 Factory to be converted into industrial land.

 Preparing to build a large assembly shop, although Du Fei temporarily gave up on large aircraft and turned to bombers.

 But his ultimate goal is still to build a large transport aircraft powered by an inverted turboprop.

Although this kind of power is somewhat outdated, it is highly reliable and powerful. It may not be interesting to use as a passenger aircraft, but it is definitely qualified as a transport aircraft.

 This is why, before Du Fei crossed over, An-22 and C-130 transport aircraft were still in use.

Even at the beginning of the next century, the new transport aircraft 400 developed in Europe still used turboprop power.

 After arranging matters in Chang'an, Du Fei rushed to the second stop, Zhuzhou, Hunan Province.

The Zhuzhou Aviation Engine Factory here is also the 3311 Factory.

 It was one of the 156 projects assisted by Sulian that year. The first domestic turboprop aircraft engine was produced here.

Du Fei once wanted to eat the 3311 factory, but after careful understanding, he decided against it. This was a hard nut that he couldn't bite.

And its importance is not comparable to that of the Shaanxi Aircraft Factory, which was newly established for more than two years.

The main purpose of Du Fei's visit this time was to bring the drawings of Brabazon's counter-rotating turboprop engine to see if Factory 3311 could produce it.

Before leaving, Wang Changyou specially found an assistant for Du Fei.

Professor Xu, the former deputy director in charge of technology at Shaanxi Fei Factory, is familiar with Factory 3311 due to business relationships.

 In the soft sleeper compartment of the train, Professor Xu looked at the engine drawings that Du Fei took out, and frowned from time to time.

 After a while he asked: “Manager, where did this drawing come from?”

 Shaanxi Fei Factory has been merged into the fire-fighting equipment company, and Professor Xu, the deputy director, has become Du Fei's subordinate.

Du Fei said: "This is the engine of the Ingo Brabazon passenger aircraft. We have made some optimizations and improvements. How about it? Based on your understanding of Factory 3311, can they produce it?"

 Professor Xu pushed up his glasses and couldn't help but feel slightly shocked.

 As an expert in the industry, how could he not know about the large aircraft known as the 'Titanic of the Sky' that shocked the world twenty years ago.

 What's even more incredible is that Du Fei was able to get the engine drawings.

Although nearly twenty years have passed, the technical level of Brabazon's counter-rotating turboprop engine is still not comparable to that in China.

 Because he has been preparing to produce the Y-8 aircraft produced by YOFC Factory, Professor Xu has a deep understanding of the engines used on the Y-8, and technically it is not as good as the one in front of him.

Professor Xu rubbed his eyes again and said thoughtfully: "There is no doubt about the technical level of the 3311 factory, but I can't guarantee you whether it can produce this engine. One is that I haven't seen the complete set. The drawings and the overall design of our aircraft are not yet available, so it's hard to say whether the engine needs to be modified.”

Du Fei nodded. He did not go to Zhuzhou personally this time just for the engine.

  But I hope to establish some personal connections here.

 Firefighting equipment companies do not have engine production capabilities themselves and will have to deal with Factory 3311 for a long time in the future.

There is definitely no problem with the current H-8 project. This is a key project. There are people watching from above, and no one dares to mess with it.

 But what about the future~

 After the H-8, should we continue to develop medium and large transport aircraft~

 You must know that Factory 3311 currently has no worries about running out of work.

 Fortunately, Director Nie had already greeted him in advance before coming. Compared with the slight indifference when he went to Chang'an, Du Fei received full courtesy when he came to Zhuzhou.

The director of the factory and the director of the Ge Committee came forward together, and what surprised Du Fei even more was that he also saw an old friend here.

"Dongming, when did you get transferred here?" Du Fei took a sip of tea and looked at the person in front of him with emotion.

I still remember the first time I met Wang Dongming, before Chu Ming and Xiao Huifang got married. At that time, they had different views and they were not very happy.

 But I have to admit that Wang Dongming is a very good warrior with firm beliefs.

 Become a pilot in his own right, and later become a test pilot.

 Later he was injured and transferred to civilian service.

The last time Du Fei dealt with Wang Dongming, it was about processing missile casings.

 In the evening, after the reception in the factory, Du Fei was drunk and was sent back to the guest house by Wang Dongming.

Wang Dongming said: "I have been here for almost two years. This is Xiaofang's hometown. My father-in-law and mother-in-law are the only daughter. The old man is not in good health. I applied for a job transfer the year before last and came here together."

 'Xiaofang' is Wang Dongming's lover Wei Fang. Du Fei has also met her. She is a pretty Hunan girl.

 It was just visible that there was a hint of sadness in Wang Dongming's eyes when he mentioned 'changing jobs'.

Du Fei patted him on the shoulder: "Whether you change careers or not, depending on your ability, you won't be able to make contributions anywhere. Originally, I was worried about being unfamiliar with the place here, but now that you are here, I feel more at ease." "

Wang Dongming also smiled and said: "Speaking of which, I still borrowed your light. If it weren't for knowing you, I wouldn't be able to come to this reception today."

At this point, Wang Dongming's eyes lit up: "Lao Du, you have been very prosperous in the past few years, especially this time in South Asia..." He couldn't help but gnash his teeth and follow suit.

 Now, Wang Dongming admires Du Fei from the bottom of his heart.

Although he was arrogant when he was young, his mentality changed after he was injured and he became much calmer.

I also understand how great Du Fei's contribution was in South Asia and how difficult it was.

Du Fei smiled and waved his hand: "In our relationship, don't talk about these mutual compliments. By the way, have you seen Brother Chu Ming recently? Are he and Sister Huifang doing well?"

Du Fei didn't have many interactions with Wang Dongming. The biggest intersection was with Chu Ming.

Wang Dongming said: "I've seen it before. I went on a business trip to Guangzhou in the first half of the year and stayed with him for a day. He is quite good, full of energy and energy, but he has lost a lot of weight..."

After chatting for more than half an hour, Wang Dongming asked to leave. Du Fei walked to the first floor of the guest house and watched him drive away in the car before turning back.

 Obviously, Factory 3311 took great pains to find Wang Dongming, an old friend, to entertain Du Fei, and it also showed goodwill.

No matter what the reason was, at least half of Du Fei's heart fell to the ground.

Wang Dongming is the nephew of the Chu family and is absolutely one of our own. There is no doubt about this.

 Sure enough, everything went smoothly in Zhuzhou.

When Du Fei took out the engine drawings that contained several suitcases, the leaders of Factory 3311 were stunned.

They knew in advance that Du Fei came here to ask them to help produce bomber engines, but they did not expect that he would come with a complete set of drawings.

 As soon as the expert takes action, there is nothing.

The 3311 factory immediately organized experts to review the drawings and gave a reply in less than three days, saying it could be produced.

 But there is a problem. Director Zhang in the factory said: "Comrade Du Fei, you only have the engine drawings here, but not the general design drawing of the bomber. How will it be matched when the time comes..."

Du Fei immediately said: "Director Zhang, you don't need to think about this. Just produce the engine. The engine is the core of an aircraft. All other designs must revolve around the engine to adapt to the performance of the engine. Wherever there is an engine, it will be the same as other engines." , that's no longer cutting your feet to fit your shoes.”

Director Zhang was stunned. Du Fei's statement is still relatively new now.

 Because after the founding of the People's Republic of China, our aviation industry has followed the path of imitation. Basically, others have matched it and we can use it.

This kind of "copying homework" approach is fast, but it does not form a correct methodology.

 So, when we develop aircraft, we always redesign the power system as part of the aircraft.

 Once the project encounters difficulties, stalls or is discontinued, the engine also stops.

 But in fact, it should be exactly the opposite. There should be an engine first, and then various aircrafts should be designed according to the parameters of the engine.

Even if a project is stalled, the engine is still the engine.

 When Director Zhang heard this, he felt more confident...

By the time Du Fei returned to the capital from Zhuzhou, it was already a month and a half later.

I missed the National Day, and by late October, the weather in Beijing was already a bit chilly.

Du Fei was sitting in the car, looking at the people walking in and out of Chang'an Street wearing autumn and winter clothes, and suddenly felt that he was in a pretty good mood.

It's almost the end of the year.

 The changes this year were greater than those in the previous two years, especially the fight in the southwest, which made people feel more excited.

Although we did not intervene in name, the people knew what was going on, and it was not like we had not done this before.

 It's just that this victory came suddenly and simply, and it was over before many people could even react.

 Furthermore, people's livelihood in China is visibly improving.

This time I went to Chang'an and Zhuzhou, both of which were deep inland cities. Du Fei saw a lot of clothes of different colors and bright colors.

 It shows that the cloth and ready-made clothes produced by coastal textile and garment groups have spread to inland areas, making it less difficult for ordinary people to get dressed.

In addition, in Kalimantan, both Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng are promoting land reform.

 Grain production has begun to increase significantly this year, and rice has begun to be imported into the country through barter.

 Although the total amount is limited and cannot solve the fundamental problem, it can alleviate it to a certain extent.

 In short, 1971, which is about to pass in just over a month, is already completely different from the world before Du Fei traveled through.

 However, just when Du Fei was in a good mood and was about to go home to see his wife and children, an uninvited guest came at this moment.

HaShem has been waiting for two days.

If it weren't for the confirmation, Du Fei had already returned by train, and he would have even gone directly to Hunan Province.

Seeing Du Fei, Hashem said with a mournful face: "Du, I was tricked by you this time!"

 After saying this, I still had tears in my eyes, as if I had been wronged a lot.

Du Fei is well aware of this guy's acting skills. Now the big aircraft project has been finalized and the news has been spread.

Ka Dazuo must have known about it, and it put a lot of pressure on him, but to be honest, it wasn't like this.

Although fifty million U.S. dollars is a lot, it will not make Cardano lose his temper. After all, he still hopes to obtain missiles with stronger performance and longer range from Du Fei~

Du Fei also showed his acting skills instantly, knowingly asking: "Hashim, my brother, what's wrong with you?"

HaShem felt even more helpless when he saw that he was pretending to be confused while pretending to understand.

 What the heck, if people are thick-skinned, there is really nothing they can do!

"Oh! Stop taking pleasure in me." Hashem stamped his feet anxiously: "What happened to your big plane? If there is no explanation, Omar will have to shoot me when I get back."

Du Fei laughed and said: "Hey, what do I think is a big deal? You tell me that!"

HaShem's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart that it's nothing to you, then it's my fifty million dollars!

Even if you throw it into the river, you will hear a loud noise, but when it is put in your hand, it will make no sound.

HaShem looked pitiful.

Du Fei chuckled and said, "Don't worry, we have known each other for such a long time, and you just tell me when did I cheat you?"

Hashem blinked and subconsciously tugged at the beard at the corner of his mouth: "That's true, but this time... what's going on? I heard that your Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Factory has officially issued an announcement to develop a jet airliner! This ...There can't be any lies, right~" Du Fei curled his lips and said: "That's true, but I will definitely not let you spend your fifty million in vain."

Hashim was shocked. Someone from the Shanghai Stock Exchange had contacted him before and expressed his willingness to cooperate.

Hashim is not stupid and knows that the other party is here for the 50 million US dollars.

 But the question is, is Cardazzo willing to pay this money to develop an aircraft?

Can the Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Factory agree to establish an aircraft assembly plant in Ribia in the future? Can the Shanghai Aircraft Factory help obtain more advanced missiles?

This can't be done, and that can't be done either. What else is there to talk about?

So when Hashim heard what Du Fei said, he couldn't help but think wrong.

Thought Du Fei also wanted him to invest his money in the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

 After all, there is a saying in Huaguo that the meat will rot in the pot.

However, in the next moment, Hashem knew that he was wrong.

 “What did you say!” Hashem suddenly raised his voice, his eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief.

 Du Fei patted his arm and comforted him, "Why are you so excited? I've said before that we Huaguo people never let our friends suffer."

 With a "gurgling" sound, Hashem swallowed and moistened his dry throat.

He really couldn't believe it, and said in a hoarse voice: "Are you serious? We don't want to build a transport plane, we want to build a large bomber, something like... the SLM-95?"

 Should it be said or not, this bombshell news really shocked Hashem.

 Tu-95 bomber fighter, what is that concept?

If it can be done, he will be my younger brother in any transport aircraft.

If this thing fell into the hands of Cardano, he would definitely dare to point his finger at those Europeans and scold them.

Du Fei said: "How about it, the fifty million won't be a loss~"

 “It's not a loss, it's not a loss!” Hashem nodded quickly.

This is a **** large bomber. Only Meguo and Serial have it in the world. As long as it can be completed, it is worth 100 million, not to mention 50 million.

 However, at this moment, it seemed as if he could see through his mind.

Du Fei coughed lightly: "However, bombers are different from transport aircraft after all. The technical difficulty and the scale of the project have been expanded several times. Do you think this is..."

Hashem felt a shiver in his heart. He was very familiar with this tone. He blinked and said, "Do I need to pay more?"

Du Feixin said: "That's right, I'll answer it right away~" and patted him on the shoulder and said, "If not, it's you~ plus fifty million more."

Hashem expected it, but is it too much to double it at once? He was busy trying to negotiate a price, but was interrupted by Du Fei.

Du Fei said: "Old ha, this is a large bomber. I don't need to explain to you what it is. With this guy, Omar is the king of Africa. Who dares to say no to him?"

Du Fei's impression was that before he traveled through time, four H-6s were imported from China in a few years, plus a batch of C601 missiles.

In that contract, the price of an H-6 was US$50 million.

Although the U.S. dollar is more valuable now, the strategic value of large bombers like the Tu-95 is also not comparable to that of medium bombers like the H-6.

  In other words, if you spend 100 million US dollars to buy this ticket, Ka Dazuo will definitely make a profit.

 The only risk he had to take was that Du Fei made a bad promise and failed to develop it in the end.

However, this is not a loss. Once the development fails, Cardano loses 100 million US dollars, and he just needs some compensation, such as missiles with better performance.

 Finally, Hashim walked away in a hurry.

He certainly can't make the decision on the additional 50 million US dollars, and must discuss it with Cardano.

Du Fei estimates that it won't be a big problem.

 First of all, Colonel Kadzo is really rich now; secondly, he has invested 50 million, which has formed a sunk cost; thirdly, because of Kadzo's character, he simply cannot resist the temptation of large bombers.

 Sent Hashem away, and sure enough, within a week, there was a reply from the other side.

 The additional $50 million was received directly into the account, accompanied by two personal letters from Colonel Card.

 One is an official letter and the other is a personal letter to Dufy.

The words in the letter are quite sincere, as if he and Du Fei are half-brothers, emphasizing that Ribia is Huaguo's strongest ally and most reliable brother in Africa...

 At the same time, after two months of busy work, the Shaanxi Fei Factory has almost completed its move.

 The high-standard factory buildings in the assembly workshop are under construction, and the design and technical departments were put into operation a month ago and began the work of replicating the Tu-95.

 Because there is no reference to the real thing, there are only some photos of participating terminals, and then Vasily's hand drawings.

 He ​​once worked in the Tupolev Design Bureau and participated in the modernization and improvement of the Tu-95, but he could not provide much data, only some intuitive impressions.

 Fortunately, YOFC has just copied the Tu-16 bomber. Although it is a completely different type of aircraft from the Tu-95, the design of the fuselage and wings still has a lot of reference significance.

 The most difficult thing was actually how to match the engine that Du Fei got from the Brabazon aircraft to the bomber.

 This requires very complex calculations and experiments.

 Fortunately, Du Fei can cheat, and he has accumulated a large amount of blue and white light in Indu before.

I directly threw the preliminary sketch of the aircraft into the portable space, and spent a week optimizing and upgrading it.

 When I took it out again, it was already a very mature and complete design.

 Because the matching engines are different, and Du Fei requires that the DF-2 can be loaded into the air, the model of the H-8 is not exactly the same as the Tu-95.

The H-8 has a thicker fuselage and a higher landing gear, leaving room for ballistic missiles to be hung under the belly.

 After completing the drawings, the following series of technical verification meetings and model wind tunnel tests were all skipped, and prototypes were manufactured directly.

This approach shocked everyone at the original Shaanxi Fei Factory, and some even cursed and played the piano in private.

But it was useless. When we arrived at the fire equipment company, it was Du Fei who had the final say. There was no superior leader or department in charge, so Du Fei had the final say.

Even if Director Nie called him personally to ask, Du Fei would just say, "I will be responsible for all problems" and he would reply.

On the other side of the phone, Director Nie couldn't help but smile and said: "Good boy, here comes the bad boy!"

Du Fei immediately changed his face and said: "Uncle Nie..."

Without waiting for him to explain, Director Nie said: "Okay, I know you are wronged, that's all. Don't delay the business."

 Hence the phone call and put it down.

Du Fei also put down the phone and continued to do what he wanted to do.

 Those people below were shocked when they saw it.

Du Fei deliberately took the opportunity to show off his temper and let his superiors know that he was not happy.

 from Shanghai

 No one is happy. Although Du Fei knows that there are some things that he cannot change, there are certain attitudes that must be shown. Children who are too sensible will easily suffer.

You have to find an excuse for this temper. There is no use in attacking Dad Zhu. It must be an outsider.

But in the final analysis, results have to speak for themselves.

Du Fei forcibly took the design drawings and started making prototypes. He could only succeed but not fail.

 In the blink of an eye, it has been more than two months.

 After New Year's Day, entering 1972, the biggest hot spot in the world is still South Asia.

 Previously, New Dila carried out a wave of internal cleaning in order to consolidate its power.

Ellul, who was crowned King of Hyderabad, saw the opportunity and took the opportunity to send troops to occupy some places to the north.

Xindila also tolerated it except issuing warnings, but the friction between the two sides continued at the border, ranging from dozens of people to hundreds of people. It was like a long fuse. It was unknown when this powder keg would be detonated again. .

On Du Fei's side, after two months of overtime work, the prototype of the first H-8 bomber has already taken shape.

There is also good news from Zhuzhou. The trial-produced inverting turboprop engine has entered the endurance testing stage.

Duffy ordered the first batch of ten engines in Zhuzhou, which can assemble two prototypes and leave two for replacement.

 If all goes well, the engine may be installed and ground rolling tests may be carried out before the Chinese New Year.

Everything is going well on Du Fei's side, and the large aircraft project in Shanghai is also in full swing.

Perhaps the appearance of Du Fei, a catfish, made their progress faster than expected, and they also obtained a Boeing 707 aircraft through Pakistan for dismantling research.

At the same time that Du Fei obtained the Shaanxi Fei Factory, the Shanghai Stock Exchange also obtained the full cooperation of the Kongjun 5703 Factory in a tit-for-tat manner.

But just when they were complacent, they suddenly heard that Du Fei had begun assembling the prototype.

 “Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!”

Professor Chen waited with bloodshot eyes. In order to speed up the progress of reproducing the drawings, he had not slept for two days.

 Professor Chen was under great pressure. After rejecting Du Fei's invitation, he had no way out.

However, to his surprise, he was still far away from Du Fei.

Professor Chen frowned: "Even if they have ready-made drawings, they can't be so fast. This is building an airplane, not playing with model aircraft!"

The young man who brought the news shrank when he was yelled at. His news was not groundless, but seeing Professor Chen's mood, he didn't dare to say anything. He only cursed in his heart.

Professor Chen continued: "What's more, what's the use of having Brabazon's design drawings? They want to build a bomber, what's the difference between redesigning an aircraft?"

After venting his anger, Professor Chen calmed down, took a long breath, took off his glasses, and rubbed his eyes: "Sorry, Xiao Liu, I lost my temper just now."

The young man named Xiao Liu did not dare to answer.

Professor Chen asked again: “Do you know how they did it?”

 As a top expert in the industry, Professor Chen is very sure that there must be something wrong with Du Fei's rapid progress.

Xiao Liu said: "I heard that the steps of technical verification and various tests are omitted. After the plan is determined, the prototype can be built directly..."

 “Play the piano randomly!” Professor Chen immediately slapped the table.

Xiao Liu took the opportunity and said: "Teacher, I have told you a long time ago that Du Fei is an amateur leader and an expert. If he acts so recklessly this time, there will definitely be trouble."

Professor Chen frowned. Hearing Xiao Liu's gloating, he glared at him and said, "Why are you so happy?"

Xiao Liu was stunned and quickly lowered his head.

 Although Professor Chen has selfish motives and is a scholar, it does not mean that he does not want the Guo family to do well.

There was a competitive relationship with Du Fei before, but now that Du Fei is building bombers, this competitive relationship is gone. On the contrary, he does not want Du Fei to fail.

Professor Chen pursed his lips, reached for the phone and dialed the number: "Hey, pick me up from Jingcheng, Fire Equipment Company..."

At the other end, Du Fei answered the phone, not expecting Professor Chen to call.

“Comrade Du Fei, this is Lao Chen. I heard that your bomber has started to build prototypes?” Professor Chen tried his best to control his emotions.

"Yeah, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly." Du Fei was not surprised. The progress of his work was not kept secret.

 Professor Chen carefully considered his words and asked: "I heard that you directly skipped the technical verification step? Is this going to be a problem?"

Du Fei was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Professor Chen to care about this.

Professor Chen added another explanation: "I just heard what a student said." It showed that he was not deliberately staring at Du Fei: "Comrade Du Fei, I hope you can be more cautious. There are no shortcuts in science."

Du Fei raised his eyebrows. He didn't hear any negative emotions from Professor Chen, but rather a sincere reminder.

Du Fei can probably guess what Professor Chen is thinking.

 First of all, there are multiple friends and multiple roads, and multiple enemies and multiple walls.

 Professor Chen rejected Du Fei's solicitation before, but that doesn't mean he must be an enemy of Du Fei. After all, Professor Chen is a technical person, and he can't afford to offend Du Fei at all.

So take this opportunity to release some goodwill. Anyway, it's just a phone call and doesn't cost anything.

 Furthermore, Professor Chen himself has a certain pattern, otherwise he would not be able to achieve the top level of knowledge in the country.

 As a purely aviation expert, he does not want Du Fei to fail, as that would not be good for the entire industry.

Du Fei put down the phone and had a new understanding of Professor Chen.

　Sometimes, people are really complicated.

He then walked out of the back room of the office and went to the outside living room: "Sorry, George."

 Bush was sitting on the sofa, smiling and saying it was okay.

Just now when Professor Chen called Du Fei, Du Fei was receiving Bush.

 In a blink of an eye, Du Fei and Bush had not seen each other for half a year. The last time they met was in Indu.

 During this period, Bush became the chairman of the National Committee of the Donkey Party as he wished, taking a solid step forward.

　　This visit is not specifically to visit Du Fei, but to make final preparations for Nicolson's visit next month.

Du Fei sat down and said with a smile: "George, keep talking."

Bush said: "Du, I know Huaguo is a great country, but a large jetliner is a very complex project. Even the equally great Huaguo cannot complete it independently. It must rely on the industrial system of its allies. There is no need for you to be here." Investment. This visit of Commander-in-Chief Nicolson will bring the most advanced Boeing aircraft..."

Du Fei smiled and listened, thinking that it was indeed true.

 This is Boeing's plan to expand its business.

Some things cannot be guaranteed after all. Originally, large companies like Boeing looked down on the flower and fruit market.

 But the situation is different now. We just got so many gold treasures last year, and now the flowers and fruits are very rich.

After Bush finished speaking, Du Fei said with a smile: "Boeing aircraft are of course the best aircraft in the world, but George, they don't know, and you haven't known it all these years? We basically have no civil aviation market. Did you hear that we are operating in Shanghai?" Are you planning a big aircraft project?"

 Bush nodded.

 Du Fei waved his hand, possessed by Zhan Huju, and sneered: "I'm telling you, it's just a face-saving project. Someone wants to get some achievements, but I don't dare to ride on that plane anyway."

Bush blinked and couldn't figure out which of Du Fei's words was true and which was false.

But he still had important tasks to do this time, so he didn't have much time to spend with Du Fei.

Probably test your attitude and give an explanation to Boeing when you go back.

After Bush left, the smile on Du Fei's face faded and he returned to the office to think silently.

 Boeing's intervention was a complete accident. This was not the case before Du Fei's crossing.

However, careful analysis seems quite reasonable, just like flowers can attract bees, money can attract capitalists.

Du Fei knows that this will only increase the pressure on the Shanghai stock market.

 Fortunately, these troubles have nothing to do with him for the time being.

Du Fei's mind changed and he couldn't help but think of Wang Yufen. He wondered how she was doing in Nanyang.

Counting the days, she is about to give birth. I don't know if it will be a boy or a girl...

Du Fei couldn't help but sigh.

With the current situation, he definitely couldn't get over it, and he felt a little sorry for Wang Yufen. Fortunately, she still had her parents and brothers by her side.

Du Fei was thinking about it when the phone on the desk in front of him suddenly rang.

 When he came back to his senses, he raised his hand and looked at his watch, seeing that it was almost time to get off work.

Hand out his hand to pick up the phone, Du Fei frowned when he heard it: "What did you say! Xin Deli took action against Hyderbala..."

 It was confirmed that just three hours ago, Sindila suddenly ordered the front line to launch an attack on the Kingdom of Hyderabad.

 Because the two sides had been having small-scale conflicts before, Hyderabad's response was somewhat slow.

 Fortunately, New Dila is only tentative this time.

 In her heart, she never paid much attention to the southern kingdoms. What she was really afraid of was the Six-Fruit Alliance and the value of the mutual protection treaty.

 If one party is attacked, how will the other parties react?

Are they really helpful, or are they just verbal support?

 If it's the former, it will undoubtedly be quite tricky.

 But if it's the latter, it's her chance.

Du Fei was actually not too surprised by this. This was an expected situation.

　　This woman Xindila has never been a white flower. Once she recovers, she will definitely regain her lost ground.

 Next, we have to look at Li Yuanchao's reaction.

The most important thing about the so-called alliance is Li Yuanchao, and the others who are not good-looking are just scraping together chicken feathers.

Du Fei leaned back in his chair, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and sorted out the thoughts in his mind.

 He has a hunch that 1972 is likely to be even less peaceful than the past year.
