Because of this, Merlinz, like Maleshevsky, is very open to Thailand. As long as Thailand is willing to spend money, Merlinz can immediately provide the full set of technologies of the T-46 trainer aircraft and assist Royal Thai Airways. Aerospace companies produce.
If Thailand has doubts and wants to experience the finished product, Merlinz is not embarrassed. After all, Japan's T-3 intermediate trainer aircraft has been put into service. Merlinz can arrange for relevant Thai personnel to go to Japan for so-called "experience" at any time. trip.
With technology, courage, aircraft models that are actually put into service, and the convenience of being able to "experience" Japan, Molinz has everything that comes to mind. Therefore, when he first came to Thailand, Molinz was able to meet all the expectations. He is quite confident and thinks that this tender is a sure thing.
Therefore, he treats others with kindness and politeness.
However, all this took a 180-degree turn when he saw the glimpse of Chujiao 6pro. Ascendas Group actually used turboprop aircraft to create a texture that only jet aircraft can have. This in itself makes Merlinz was surprised.
What was even more shocking was that the person driving the JJ 6pro soaring over Bangkok was none other than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This made Merlinz a little unable to bear it. After all, in a country like Thailand where the royal family has huge influence, what happened to the senior officials? Yes, that's a scumbag in front of the royal family.
So Merlinz is sure that all the heavy bets he made within the Thai government in the early stage will be in vain if nothing unexpected happens.
However, Merlinz still has a little bit of luck in his heart. After all, no matter how outstanding the JJ 6pro is, it is just a junior trainer aircraft, while their T-46 is an intermediate trainer aircraft, and can also serve as an advanced trainer aircraft at certain times. .
With such a difference in grade from Beginner 6pro, they still have a chance.
Until he saw the true appearance of the JJ 7max, the last bit of luck in Merlinz¡¯s heart finally completely evaporated in the face of the JJ 7max¡¯s unparalleled high cost performance.
The JJ-7MAX, which has the same maneuverability as the F-16 and is equipped with Doppler radar and complete avionics equipment, only costs US$9.98 million. Compared with it, the unit price of the T-46, which is far inferior in comprehensive performance, has a unit price of US$9.98 million. $18.6 million.
The price of one T-46 is as much as that of two J-7MAXs, and its performance is not outstanding. Which one can Thailand choose?
So at this moment, Merlinz knew that this trip to Thailand was in vain, and all the early investment and public relations were in vain.
If you include the costs of further improvements to the T-46, the establishment of a new team, etc., this time Merlinz can only be described as a loss of blood.
But is this all Merlinz¡¯s fault?
No!
As a shareholder of Fairchild Aviation Manufacturing Company, the director of the T-46 technical team, how could a member of McDonnell Douglas' senior management make a mistake?
so¡¡
Merlinz glanced at Shi Jun next to him. There was a hint of coldness and resentment in his gray-blue eyes, which finally condensed into a cannibalistic term, which is called blame-shifting.
At this moment, Shi Jun didn¡¯t notice the gaze cast by Merlinz, everything around him had become a cloud, because there was nothing else in his eyes except Chujiao 6pro and Jijiao 7max in front of him.
As for my heart, I kept repeating one sentence like crazy, he did it~~He did it~~~He really did it~~~~
He is none other than Zhuang Jianye, the man who used to compete with each other and is still ridiculed by himself as a soft rice boy and a salty fish boy.
"Lao Shi, do you think there is a possibility that in the near future, we will replace the piston engine on the Chujiao 6 with a turboprop engine, thereby achieving a qualitative leap in its performance?"
When they first entered the Yonghong Factory, the two of them were chatting in the dormitory. Zhuang Jianye was picking at his smelly feet and looking up at the lights that were extinguished due to a power outage. He talked endlessly about his improvement plans for existing models, and from time to time he also talked about it. A bloody mosquito was killed with a slap on the face.
"I only listened to half of what Chief Engineer He explained today, and fell asleep the rest. But half of it is enough, because I think Chief Engineer He is still too conservative. What is the core of a carrier-based aircraft? Short It¡¯s so far away from take-off and landing that it can¡¯t even be used on the aircraft carrier deck, so those maneuvers in the air are useless?¡±
Zhuang Jianye, who was told by He Ming that he was going to participate in the development of carrier-based aircraft, was still yawning during lunch. He had a look of despair on his face and kept complaining while eating.
"What? How to solve short take-off and landing? It's simple. Just put the lift-increasing and braking components on the wings of large civilian airliners on the wings of carrier-based aircraft. This will ensure twice the result with half the effort."
Zhuang Jianye, who was ordered to go to the provincial information room to look up information, put his hands on his chin in the gap between a lot of information, looked out the window, his eyes were dazed, and he said random and perfunctory words.
"Lao Shi, look at my model, the latest product of the transformation of the 23rd Factory. It is based on the prototype of our carrier-based aircraft back then, and incorporates some of my and Lao Lin's ideas. How about it? Is it very feasible? ?We call him the Future Advanced Fighter Model."
Zhuang Jianye, who has become the director of the 23rd Factory, came to visit with the aircraft model that had just been produced. He held the exquisite future fighter model in his hands like a treasure, showing off like a child.
"Shi Jun, don't tell me that all your previous words were eaten by dogs. I, Zhuang Jianye, am a thorn in my spitting. Since I said that if aviation does not rise, we will not pick up old Shanghai. I was like this in the past, and it is still like this now, and in the future. Still the same, what about you?¡±
In the hospital, the two people who had just had a fight stood opposite each other. Zhuang Jianye wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, raised his arm with the Shanghai brand watch, and asked loudly.
¡¡
At this moment, Shi Jun was like a dead old man, and the scenes of the past flashed through his mind frame by frame like movie scenes.
?Clear and true.
So much so that thinking about Shi Jun now, it feels like a joke, a bit like pointing at Zhuang Jianye¡¯s nose and laughing at him.
Yes, Zhuang Jianye was very lazy at that time. He was a perfect second grader and had a lot of wild ideas in his head, but every idea was so ridiculous that He Ming at that time said in private that Zhuang Jianye was a good young talent. , if you are too good at digging, good at reading but don't ask for deep explanations, you will suffer big losses in the future.
There were not a few people who made such comments at that time. In the blink of an eye, 1982 was long gone, and 1994 was already halfway through. In the blink of an eye, 12 years passed. What happened to the people who laughed at Zhuang Jianye for being a good scholar and not asking for explanations?
But Zhuang Jianye, who was ridiculed, remembered every thought and train of thought back then. Starting from a small model, the airplane in his heart gradually took shape, and finally turned into a backdrop for the memories of those who knew him well.
Yes, Shi Jun¡¯s memories are very real, and there is even a sense of d¨¦j¨¤ vu that is within reach, but these reappearances have a background, which is the Chujiao 6pro and Jijiao 7max that are right in front of you.
So Shi Jun smiled miserably, and for the first time, an emotion called regret emerged from deep in his heart.
"Is it true that I settled in the United Statesright?"
