Chapter 630 (1/2)
Shortly after the reception, MacArthur chose to leave early, saying that he wanted to go to Japan to see cherry blossoms along the way, so he would like to travel.
For this reason, Li Zitao specially arranged a private plane for him, together with the best crew and bodyguards, to ensure his safety on the journey and let him have a good time.
It wasn't just because during his tenure, MacArthur won orders for aegis cars and skunks, allowing them to compete in arms procurement.
And he wanted to send a message to the outside world that Charlie Lee was a nostalgic.
Just like MacArthur, he was ”exiled” to the remote South China Sea. For many people, he had no ”benefit” value.
It's not only the old Americans, but the whole western world is so realistic. When you can use it, you can say anything. When you can't use it, you can forget your name by turning around.
For them, when you are valuable again, you can buy back your ”friendship” with a higher price or something you care about.
Of course, in a few decades, the whole world is almost the same, and turning a blind eye to people will gradually become the mainstream and normal.
In terms of the current arms market, the European and American mainland represents 80% of the market, so it is no longer important for MacArthur, who was assigned to the South China Sea.
When he came to see him off, the scene seemed a little lonely, but there were a lot of military people coming. Li Zitao personally sent him to the plane.
”Charlie, my friend, I will remember our friendship.” MacArthur gave him a meaningful pat on the shoulder. It seemed that he was sure of his future.
After the plane took off, Li Zitao was surrounded by more people. Major general Andrews, who had met only once before, was temporary.
”Charlie, would you like to show us around the skunk now? My friends can't wait.” Said Andrews, pointing to the Colonel next to him.
”No problem. I'll have someone ready.” The proposal was a bit hasty, but Li still agreed.
He made a phone call at the airport, and the 40 minute crew was in place and his Gulfstream one was ready.
”Major general, does the air force have plans to expand its size?” On the plane, several people drank whisky with ice and chatted casually.
The air conditioner keeps the cabin warm. It's just fine to drink whisky on ice.
”The military has plans to increase bombing formations. Has skunk studied this?” Said Andrews, pondering.
Command of the air force is now firmly in his hands, but Andrews does not know how long it will last.
The new chief of staff and they are not in the same line. Andrews is now most worried about changing orders and losing his command.
”Of course, both Douglas studio and Gruman studio under skunk have research on this field, and you may not know much about skunk.
skunk international R & D center is just a general term. There are three studios under it, skunk factory, Douglas and gluman.
currently, skunk factory is mainly responsible for the research and development of large aircraft and turbine engines, Douglas is in charge of the fighter development, and Gruman is in charge of the bomber program. ”
Hearing Li Zitao's introduction, Andrews put down his glass and said, ”does skunk have such a large scale?”
”We are bigger than you can imagine.” Li Zitao smiles confidently.
