Chapter 840 (1/2)
Many later militarists and historians have different views on the internal resolution of the U.S. Department of defense. Some people think that the US Department of defense should not make such a hasty decision. In the end, it not only made the black cloud group so much money, but also gave them permission to sell arms in the United States. This also foreshadowed the future international competition. It can be said that the military has the behavior of financing the enemy.
Some experts believe that the environment at that time and the situation faced by the US military. We can only find heiyun group to handle this matter. Other companies do not have that ability. As for baozixuan's ability to make money, it's someone else's skill. At least at that time, the military did not suffer losses, and even accelerated the modernization of the US Army to a certain extent.
However, these can only be commented by later generations. At this time, baozixuan, accompanied by general Ian Wright, came to Davis Munson Air Force Base in the United States. The purpose of coming here is very simple and direct, that is, to buy retired American aircraft.
Davis Munson air force base, Tucson, Arizona, USA; It is also known as ”aircraft cemetery” because it takes in retired U.S. aircraft and discards them. Not all of these planes were damaged. The aircraft cemetery has the function of storing these aircraft, which can be reused when the war comes.
The air force base is famous. Davis Munson air force base covers an area of 2600 acres, where future generations of obsolete aircraft worth $35 billion are preserved to provide parts for the latest models. Davis Munson air force base has saved thousands of aircraft, some of which are temporarily stored at the base during the deployment interval, but more than 80% of the aircraft will eventually end their missions here. Davis Munson air force base is also a ”steel cemetery”, which can recycle 350000 pieces of steel when necessary.
At the same time, the air force base is also the seat of the 309th aviation maintenance and reconstruction center of the US Army, which is responsible for the repair and maintenance of aircraft, and even let some of them fly to the blue sky again. All aircraft engines, ammunition, wiring, electronic instruments and some useful spare parts are recycled to reduce the cost of maintaining the current large aircraft formation.
Baozixuan came here in the previous life. At that time, the scale and number of stored aircraft were more than at this time. But even now, the scene is very shocking. This is the strength of Americans. It is estimated that the aircraft stored here alone may not be an opponent of any national air force in the world except the Soviet Union.
In fact, this is not aimless. After all, it is in the period of the cold war. Weapons are updated very quickly, and various experimental aircraft emerge one after another.
Seeing general Ian Wright coming, a colonel of a grade much older than him came over. It is very strange that the old Colonel has an arm that never swings, which is very inconsistent with the military style.
It was not until people walked in that they found that the old man had a prosthetic arm. This makes people very curious. After all, it is normal to cause disability in the army. In serious cases, death is also very common. But generally, people with disabilities must retire, especially when their arms are broken.
Seeing the old man coming, Ian Wright didn't dare to put on any airs. He took the lead in honoring a military salute and said, ”nice to meet you here, Colonel Freiburg.”
Hearing the name baozixuan felt a little strange, because the name had an obvious German flavor. In fact, this is also very normal. After all, the United States is an immigrant. It's not surprising to see German descendants.
But what many people can't imagine is that the end of World War II is not very long. There are German officers in the US Army, which is still a little awkward.
Colonel Freiburg returned a standard military salute and said, ”welcome to your Excellency the general.”
Even in his senior year, general Ian Wright is nominally his leader. People respect you, but you can't rely on your old age. Although seniority and age can play a role in the army, it mainly depends on position and rank.
Ian Wright is a good lieutenant general, and he is only a colonel. It can be said that there is a lot of difference in their ranks. In front of outsiders, Colonel Freiburg should give each other enough face and respect.
Ian Wright knew the old man's character and did not struggle with his address and words. To introduce baozixuan to the old man is the most basic politeness. Only when you are familiar with each other can you talk about specific work.
Ian Wright: ”Mr. Bao; This is the head of Davis Munson air force base, Colonel Freiburg. ”
Then he said to Colonel Freiburg, ”this is Mr. Bao Zixuan of heiyun group.”
Although Colonel Freiburg's main job is in the air force base, he is by no means an old stubborn who doesn't hear things outside the window. Of course, I know heiyun group and baozixuan. After all, Bao's richest man is more famous in the United States than movie stars.
Moreover, I received an order from the Ministry of national defense yesterday and focused on the information of heiyun group and baozixuan. I really don't know. I'm surprised when I check.
