Chapter 2819

Niu Guo, headquarters of aerospace company.

Niu Guo is arrogant, as is the case in aviation. Although Niu Guo is no longer able to undertake the task of developing new fighters, as the earliest manufacturer of jet aircraft, they have a deep accumulation of technology.

Now, with the help of reform, aerospace companies have radiated new vitality.

This reform is naturally privatization.

In the era before the iron lady, most of the military industry was state-owned, resulting in low efficiency and overstaffed personnel. After the iron lady came to power, she almost carried out privatization with paranoia, and even made people angry.

Aerospace companies are not spared. First, they have been privatized by 50%. Later, they have become 100% privatized. As a private enterprise, of course, they have to think more about their own future.

At this time, it was time to hold the board meeting. Everyone sat there with gloomy faces. Only the smoke of cigars continued to disperse in the conference room.

"In other words, Hans really wants to give up cooperation in typhoon fighters? They don't even plan to recycle their early investment?" said old Harry, one of the directors, with a gloomy face.

"That's about it," said wallop, the general manager.

"Then, don't they care about compensation? According to our original agreement, if they quit halfway, they need to pay a compensation?" said old Harry.

"In theory, it is true, but if our speculation is correct, Hans will not submit the agreement, and they will certainly delay us."

No matter how perfect the agreement is, there will certainly be loopholes. For now, they do not quit, just procrastinate, which is enough. In this way, they can also step on two boats. In case the project in the Han country fails, it is also possible to come back and carry out the typhoon project.

After all, the research and development of a fighter takes a long time. If they are optimistic, their Typhoon fighter will take five years to develop successfully. If they delay halfway, maybe ten years will be few.

At that time, the whole world will be the world of stealth aircraft, right?

"In other words, we have no other way? This project, invested a lot of money, may eventually fail?"

Now it has been changed to private ownership. Therefore, if their project fails, the company may deteriorate or even go bankrupt. Of course, at that time, the government will certainly not see a large number of employees unemployed and will allocate funds for assistance.

"I think, on the one hand, we should go to Hans to make solemn representations, hoping that they can see the prospect of self-study. After all, self-study can master technology, and how can MBB company be reduced to the point of directly buying fighters." another old director carefully analyzed: "On the other hand, we need to find the support of more countries, especially the air force. At this time, we can only find the air force to continue to invest funds. As long as the air force can support our projects, there will be a chance of success."

Although the air force has expressed interest in this R & D project, the R & D funds are mainly the company's own. Although there is also investment from the air force, it is too little. In the past, it was possible to use it according to the joint cooperation of Hans. Now if Hans idles, they will suddenly have a huge financial loophole. Now, they can only turn to the air force.

After all, the air force still plans to have more than 200 aircraft. Now it should invest more research and development funds.

"Well, after the meeting, I'll visit the air force," wallop said.

Although the aerospace company has a huge business. In terms of civil aircraft, there are passenger aircraft manufacturing, and even some parts of Airbus are in production. Military aircraft have a lot of proud achievements, as well as missiles and other businesses, for them, the Typhoon fighter project is also very important, which is the key to the development in the next 20 years.

If the research and development of this fighter fails, there will be no subsequent models, and aerospace companies may turn to gradual decline.

Wallop was under great pressure. After the meeting, he personally went to the air force staff to visit Air Force Chief of staff Brent.

The aerospace company has a good relationship with the air force. In addition to the level of secretary of defense, the air force staff is the highest leading organization of the air force. Now, when sitting in the office of the air force chief of staff, wallop's face is heavy.

"Our aerospace company needs the support of the air force." wallop said to Brent, "we are developing the third-generation aircraft typhoon urgently needed by the air force, but now, due to the unilateral betrayal of Hans, our R & D funds are seriously insufficient. I hope the air force can give us more funds to carry out our R & D."

Brent didn't speak. He got up and went to the window. From here, you can see the traffic in the capital of NiuGuo. Now it's the peak of work.

His silent attitude made Brandt feel uneasy.

What is the attitude of the air force?

"Then, how could Hans betray? Didn't we jointly launch this project with Hans?" finally, Brent spoke.

"Because of the Han people, the Han people have bewitched them, launched a j-31 project and attracted a lot of investment. Without their bewitchment, the Hans would never betray us."

"So, why can this j-31 bewitch them?" Brandt continued.

"Because they claim that this is a stealth fighter, especially the model of vertical takeoff and landing fighter, which is clearly to make trouble for us," wallop said.

The first one of the three types of one aircraft is the vertical take-off and landing fighter, which is clearly the sea harrier aimed at them. Relying on the vertical take-off and landing performance, the sea harrier still has orders. Now the Han people want to seize this market.

"So, do you think they are bragging or are they really capable of R & D success?"

Brag? Han people's j-14 has been flying all over the sky. On this basis, the technology of stealth aircraft is gradually maturing. Therefore, it's not bragging that it can be developed successfully.

Wallop suddenly turned white because he already knew what Brent thought.

Why does the air force support their Typhoon fighter program? The air force and their positions are different. What the air force needs is an aircraft that can meet their needs!

In those years, they spent a lot of energy on the research and development of fan hunting early warning aircraft. As a result, the air force despised the backward technology and bought E-3 early warning aircraft instead. The valuable funds of the air force are not wasted. After all, they are users. Because they support domestic industry, they equip chicken rib aircraft? Of course not!

Now, the air force is not optimistic about their aircraft!
