"However, they will not use the new fighter for export." Zhou Dapeng obviously has a good understanding of the US government's policies.

Westerners have been doing this kind of thing for a long time, and the most advanced must be kept for their own use, and those who are about to be eliminated immediately look for backward ones to sell to them, and then make a profit.

However, this is not the work of all evil capitalism, and in fact the future republic will do it. Are you brothers? It's a brother, okay, this batch of weapons is given away for nothing, you take out a loan for this batch of weapons, you pay cash for this batch of weapons, rest assured, the quality is all leverage.

Of course, the republic has been used for twenty or thirty years, and all the problems that should have been repaired have been repaired, so naturally there is nothing wrong. You can say that it is backward, but you absolutely cannot say that it is of bad quality, the military industry of the republic has always been very confident in this regard. The good brothers of the republic were then equipped with 40 fire, 107 rocket artillery, and the name of the Thunder Dragon was actually a modified version of the J-7 fighter, anyway, there was no big problem in fighting a local war.

And what about the republic? The J-20 that is being installed in the Air Force will not be sold, of course, you can buy it if you want, and the castrated version also needs 100 million US dollars, buddy!

This is called national interest, there is no reason, there is no humanity, it is about the life and death of hundreds of millions of people, and this is true for all countries. Between countries, it is too extravagant to talk about friendship.

"Yes! They will definitely not export the latest model, but we can find a company to customize a special fighter for export for our anti-Japanese volunteers, such as Curtis, which does not require them to develop engines, but only needs them to equip the engines of cooperative companies on the new models currently researched, and the functions do not need to be too powerful, only need high enough speed and dive performance and strong enough protection and firepower, and at the same time, an aircraft can be attached at least 500 kg of aerial bombs. This kind of export fighter that does not need to enter the active service of the US military, and does not require much effort from them to develop it, I believe that in the face of the huge order of 150 aircraft, their boss will not shake his head and refuse. Liu Lang said calmly.

"This 。。。。。。 Brother Liu, I didn't expect you to be so familiar with airplanes, do you think this will work, my flight instructor, who also happens to be Mr. Richard, a senior consultant of Curtiss Corporation, can you talk to him first, I believe he can give good advice. Zhou Dapeng thought about it and said to Liu Lang very sincerely.

"Curtis Advisor?" Liu Lang was slightly stunned, then nodded and agreed.

Liu Lang didn't expect that Zhou Dapeng, the little brother, was very well-connected, and the instructors could all be consultants to this large aircraft manufacturer in the United States.

However, after Liu Lang spent two more days in San Francisco and discussed various details with Situ Dagang on the formation of the Foreign Aviation Volunteer Army, after Liu Tuanzuo met Mr. Richard, the consultant of Curtis who rushed to San Francisco, he knew that Zhou Dapeng was also a guy possessed by a halo.

His instructor, who had mentored him two years earlier, was named Richard. Buck, a man who fought in World War I and was a U.S. Air Force hero, Frank. Luke is a comrade-in-arms and has more than 2,000 hours of flying experience as a flight instructor, from the resume, can be an instructor for Zhou Dapeng, who is flying a small plane with pesticides, that is Zhou Dapeng's luck is good enough, to meet such an instructor.

However, when Zhou Dapeng enthusiastically hugged the boy with a few freckles on his nose who had come to San Francisco to play with his father on a business trip, and introduced to Liu Lang that his naughty little brother was named Richard. When he was in the state, he almost didn't blind Liu Tuanzuo.

From his hometown -----of Popla City, Wisconsin, which Richard talked about in his advisor's greetings, Liu Lang knew that this man named Richard. Bang's little boy must be the one who is written in the history of the United States Air Force.

He is much more famous than his father. At least in the history of the Second Total World War, no one can ignore this genius pilot who soared into the blue sky.

Richard. Bang, the number one ace pilot in the United States during World War II, shot down more than 40 enemy planes, a pilot who could choose to attack at any time without following the orders of his superiors, a man who claimed to dominate the entire sky between New Guinea and the Philippines, and the first person to drop that big fat bomb on Japanese soil.

Unexpectedly, it was a fourteen-year-old boy in front of him? Moreover, the father who personally taught him and let him soar into the blue sky turned out to be Zhou Dapeng's instructor?

Although Liu Lang also knows that flying actually depends more on talent, and there are more people with the same instructors, but there are only a few who become ace pilots. Looking at the close relationship between Zhou Dapeng and the future No. 1 ace of the US Air Force, Liu Lang knows that the goshawk will never be with the sparrow, and Zhou Dapeng, a young Chinese, is at least recognized by the father and son in flight.

Otherwise, there would not have been a telegram from Zhou Dapeng, and people rushed from Curtiss to San Francisco, just for the business of purchasing airplanes for a Chinese young man who belongs to the bottom of American society. If this were someone else, I am afraid it would only be a joke.

With such a high-quality instructor, Zhou Dapeng at least has the foundation to become an ace, if he has enough talent and courage.

At least, from now on, he doesn't lack courage.

As for the future No. 1 ace of the U.S. Air Force, the current little boy, Liu Tuanzuo still put out his thoughts of fooling people to China for the time being, and by 1937, he was only 17 years old. In 1942, when he was 22 years old, he took to the skies for the first time. It's better not to destroy the seedlings too much.

Richard. Buck is an outlier among Americans, and in today's popular parlance, people don't talk much. After a few simple greetings with Liu Lang, he went straight to the point.

Obviously, after meeting with Zhou Dapeng, he already understood the needs of the Chinese, because of the recent newspaper propaganda reports on the war between distant China and Japan, he also knew why the Chinese in the United States chose this way. If the Americans themselves had encountered this situation, I am afraid they would have done the same.

Therefore, Richard, who was already full of sympathy for China, was very polite to Liu Lang, who represented the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and negotiated with him for the first time, and no other American looked like he was high in the face of the Chinese.

Of course, the premise is that if you don't know that a certain fat is the backstage boss of the Chinese Business Group, in the face of the huge money effect, there are not a few proud Americans who have lost their smiling faces in front of a certain fat during this time.

For Liu Lang's proposal to purchase up to 150 fighters, Richard, as a senior adviser to Curtis, is of course impossible not to be impressed, even if the delivery time is only two and a half years at most, but that is an order of millions of US dollars! Even at this time period, the U.S. military only ordered about 80 planes per order.

"Mr. Liu, our company is designing an aircraft with better performance than the Eagle II, although it can't fully meet your needs, but the overall performance is still good, and the price will definitely be cheaper than the one you need, and more importantly, the delivery time can definitely be reduced to less than a year. Trust us in the productivity of Curtis. ”

Richard was just a little incomprehensible to Liu Lang's quirky needs, unlike the Chinese he had met, who bought them off-the-shelf. Curtis has exported 50 Eagle IIs to China in the past two years, and more Eagle IIIs will be sold to them in the near future.

In the face of Richard's doubts, the corners of Liu Lang's mouth turned up slightly, these Americans can be regarded as the rhythm of treating all Chinese as the head of the wrong.

It's a pity that he is Liu Lang.

Moreover, the reason why Liu Lang mentioned Curtis at the beginning is because they will use this order as a lifesaver, and it will not be long before they taste the bitter fruit in the selection of military aircraft by the US Department of Defense. It's not that their designs are particularly scummy, it's that their opponents are stronger than them in this period.
