Chapter 631

The shape of the large rectangular table is a bit like a billiard table. The table top has a interlayer, and the surface is a layer of transparent glass, with various measurement accuracy engraved on it.

Inside the mezzanine was a drawing, which Andrews could see at a glance the design of some kind of fighter, with precise markings on each part.

"Gee... Who are you, security guard..." the man pushed by Andrews turned his head and saw that it was a strange face, and he immediately called security guard.

"It's ok... This is a major general of the military, my guest." Li Zitao grinned and interposed. It's not good to make a joke.

“BOSS。” As soon as the other party saw that it was Li Zitao, he immediately stopped talking. However, the previous discussion also stopped.

"Charlie, is this plane?" Andrews would have put all his mind on the drawing, and if he had read it correctly, the fighter was clearly not hellcat.

"This is a new generation fighter designed by us. It is jointly developed by skunk and Douglas studio. The maximum speed of the interceptor is 586 M / h.

is a kind of high-speed, heavy-duty and high-power fighter. At present, the research and development has not been completed, and the prototype has not been seen."

"It's... Beautiful. Does it have a name?" Andrews looked at the drawing under the glass, as if it was not a drawing in front of him.

"Lightning, we call it lightning. It's as fast and powerful as lightning." Seeing the other side's performance, Li Zitao was very satisfied.

Let Johnson deliberately arouse the other party's curiosity, and then take the other party to visit Rand in person, so as to arouse Andrews' interest.

"Lightning is a new generation of fighters suitable for high-altitude and high-speed operations. It is faster than the enemy, stronger armor and stronger firepower. It is the main research and development project of skunk at present... It is said that land aviation intends to establish a new aviation force."

Looking at Li Zitao as he approached him, Andrews said with a twinkle in his eyes, "Charlie, your sources are so smart."

The point of view on whether the new air force will be set up in the army headquarters is only one point of view within the military headquarters. If there is no shadow, he has already got the news?

"I heard it by accident, too." Li Zitao casually smiles perfunctory way, concrete how to return a responsibility, everybody knows very well.

"If the military really wants to, I hope to see the lightning design report then." Andrews didn't give him any commitment.

Li Zitao is still a little strange to him. He asked the skunk to submit the design draft of "lightning", but he was simply impressed by its excellent performance.

But whether it can be adopted or not, how to achieve its manufacturing, whether the military will purchase in large quantities or not, is not up to him alone.

"We will... You can visit at will." With that, Li Zitao took the lead and went forward. There were five other analytical platforms.

On these platforms are the R & D drawings of various aircraft and the analysis of the famous air combat reports in World War I.

From the perspective of both the loser and the winner, they will study how to change the situation in the inferior situation, the combat methods of various aviation formations,

the reaction of the winner in the air combat, the performance advantages of the aircraft, the tactics used, and even the dialogue between the pilots during the flight will be analyzed word by word.

They didn't stop for a whole day. After visiting the three studios, they only ate a hamburger. Andrews's smile was full of satisfaction.

"Charlie, what I saw at the skunk today was an eye opener and I believe there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future." Said Andrews solemnly.

Whether it's the skunk's "lightning," a high-altitude high-speed fighter with internal number D-22.

Andrews was surprised by the "Hercules" S-4 aircraft project, or the ng-15 bombing series called "Flying Fortress.".

In particular, the four engine linkage design of the S-4 and ng-15 series gave Andrews more ideas on future air combat.

"That's exactly what I want." He asked the other party to get on the bus. Li Zitao sat in the co pilot's seat and turned his head and said, "Mitchell and general Simms have arrived. I believe you will have a lot of topics to talk about."

Ashar farm, Heather and Simms are waiting here. When Li Zitao and Andrews arrive, they and West are roasting meat around the campfire.

When he got out of the car, Andrews straightened his hat and walked forward solemnly. When he got to the fire, he put his legs together, raised his arms and saluted, "general Heather, general Simms, commander of land and aviation, Frank Maxwell Andrews, report for duty."

"Ha ha... Don't do all this red tape. Sit down quickly. The fish will be cooked." Heather and Simms looked at each other and laughed, and beckoned Andrews to sit down.

"Thank you, general." Andrews's serious face suddenly turned into a smile, and sat cross legged beside them, flipping over the grilled fish on the iron plate with a clip.

"Simms, don't you introduce me?" West took a sip of beer, wiped his mouth, looked at Andrews and said with a smile."Andrews... He's the most talented pilot I've ever seen." Sims took a can of beer and handed it to Andrews. His eyes recalled, "the last time I saw him, it was on the battlefield?"

"Yes, general. That's me in the 23rd flying formation. I'm in the rank of lieutenant." Andrews, speaking of the past, had some feelings.

It seems that everything has changed in the blink of an eye, but their heart to make the air force independent has never changed.

It was under the influence of Mitchell and Simms that he had always wanted to free the air force as an independent establishment, rather than an army or naval appendage.

They have the same idea, the old relationship between superiors and subordinates, and they have participated in World War I together, which makes them have endless topics.

Sitting next to west, the two quietly listened to the three veterans talking about war, life, the evolution and development of the air force and its future.

"You're better than Sims and I. The independent command of the air force is a sign that the air force is completely independent. I hope I can see that day again."

After drinking a lot of wine, Mitchell got drunk and looked at the sky laxly, as if to see his flying in the sky.

"Yes, old man, we'll see that day." Simms grabbed his beard soaked in beer and said with a big laugh.

"Let's drink to that, believing that day will be in the near future." Li Zitao took the opportunity to raise his glass and said with a smile.

"Cheers." With laughter and laughter, boxes of beer were emptied, and by the end of the conversation, a mountain of beer cans had been piled up beside them

Finally, even Li Zitao was drunk and returned to his room with the help of the servant.

As for the others, they were carried back by the servants.
