Chapter 687: The delegation is here

　　 deliberately ignored the armor problem of SH-1a, and showed the maneuverability and firepower that made Dotting very satisfied.
　　Although he saw the data of the armor, in his view, this is the original design. I don’t know that the thickness of the previous armor is 4 times that of the current one, and there is no strong sense of drop.
　　 Armor is weak, and its considerable firepower and mobility are its strengths, depending on what kind of war situation it is put into.
　　 "Mr. Brigadier General, if we are interested, we also have fighter jets, hellcats, the D-11 in service, which is one of the best fighters in North America."
　　 Seeing Dotting fell into thought, Johnson appropriately promoted other skunk products, and the D-11, which was valued by the US military for service, was the focus.
　　 "I know." Douding looked up at him and said proudly: "But we have a good enough fighter, the hurricane type produced by Hawke, maybe you should know more about it."
　　 Hurricane fighter, manufactured by Hawk Company of the United Kingdom, is equipped with a liquid-cooled V-12 engine invented by Rolls-Royce. Other information is not very clear.
　　 It is said that the military is very satisfied with this fighter, and plans to gradually replace it with the current main fighter and become the trump card in future battles.
　　Although the politicians of the government are very optimistic that the war will be limited to a controllable local scope, the army still maintains a crisis awareness.
　　 Not to mention Britain, even the American military across the Atlantic is also prepared.
　　01's order was also generated as a result.
　　 "Let's take a look at this." Li Zitao looked at Johnson and motioned for the information he had prepared.
　　 P-38, lightning, 20mm caliber cannon, 4 0,5 inch machine guns, 1415 kg of explosives can be hung under the wing, flight speed...
　　 "This is impossible." Douding looked at him with a look.
　　 "Nothing is impossible, Brigadier General, our prototype will be completed soon. If you can stay for more than half a month, I believe you will see its power."
　　Li Zitao said with a light smile on his lips, he did not expect that the development of "Lightning" will be accelerated so much, thanks to Tesla and Donald Douglas.
　　The two people cooperated to make the progress of "Lightning" advance by leaps and bounds. With the fixed shape, the prototype is already in production.
　　Relying on the strong industrial productivity of the Skunk R&D Center, Li Zitao is confident that he can directly put into production after the prototype is finalized, so he will only invite Doudin to stay for a few more days.
　　 "Okay, I will wait 15 more days, hoping to have a satisfactory answer." Dao Ding said decisively.
　　If the information in his hands is true, this fighter will be ahead of the times, and the fighters in active service and reconstruction can not be compared with it.
　　 "My Excellency, you should consider how you can get the Congress to approve the transaction." Having money is a good friend, and Li Zitao's name for him is abbreviated from "Brigadier General" to "General." ’
　　01's orders do not need to worry, Douding came for them, as did other inspection groups.
　　 Helicopter SH series 1a and b, Doudin is also very interested, if you can reach the order of ‘Lightning’, it would be an unexpected joy.
　　 But whether the Congress can pass it depends on the negotiations between the two countries. After all, it involves national defense and the latest achievements. It is difficult for any country to let it go.
　　 "I will communicate with the country about this matter." Dao Ding said solemnly.
　　As long as he sees the above data evolve into reality, no matter what the cost is, he will facilitate the transaction.
　　 thought that Dao Ding would act only after seeing the real thing, but Li Zitao underestimated the importance and temptation of'Lightning'.
　　The day after the accommodation was arranged for him, the Federal Arms Commission sent an investigation team to the skunk, requesting detailed data on ‘Lightning’ and manufacturing progress.
　　 "The prototype will be completed in about 10 days. After the test, it will be officially put into production in about half a month, and the monthly production volume will be about 80." Johnson gave the collated data to the other party.
　　 In the oral report, he used a lot of uncertain statements. After all, he has not actually put into production. It is only calculated based on the basis and capacity of the skunk. Whether there will be problems in the manufacturing process, no one knows at present.
　　After bringing all the materials, the investigation team visited the progress of the work in person and left after making some records.
　　 After the matter is left to the two countries to negotiate, if the British guy really wants, there will always be a way.
　　 Before the Second World War, the United States also envied the aristocratic life yearning for Europe. The rich should not kneel and lick the poor white short aristocrats.
　　Huafu's attitude towards Britain is also ambiguous, guarding against the contradictory emotions of being close and eager to be recognized, so that the two countries can maintain complex diplomatic relations.
　　Three days later, the French delegation arrived, led by a major general, visiting Skunk is the second stop of the other party in the United States, before they went to Curtis.
　　 Although Curtis is not currently engaged in research and development of fighter planes, its scale and R&D level are also not to be underestimated.
　　 There is also the Republican Aircraft Corporation, North American Aircraft Corporation is an enemy that needs to be vigilant.
　　Compared with the skunks that came later, some people even believed that ‘era’ is the best guarantee of quality.
　　It was only after the other party watched one after another. After SH1b's performance, this kind of thinking was greatly improved.
　　After learning the specific data of ‘Lightning’ and seeing the prototype in another week, the major general also chose to stay in Santa Barbara.
　　The delegations of Spain, the Netherlands, and the Soviet Union came a little late, but the timing was just right for him, because when they arrived, the prototype of'Lightning' was just completed.
"Everyone, our pilots are ready, please open your eyes...don't blink." Simply arrange some seats beside the runway as an observatory. Li Zitao pointed to a larger aircraft on the runway. Said.
　　The aircraft of this era is not big~EbookFREE.me~The twin-engined wing, the "lightning" with double tail structure looks a bit like a silly big man.
However, these are not the key points. The powerful firepower like a shower, the simple disassembly and assembly technology make it easier to maintain, and the vulnerable surface supports the multi-overlap design, making it difficult to be penetrated by the fuel tank when it is attacked by shells. Happening.
　　 also has its powerful power and climbing height, which are reasons for favor.
　　The exterior of the prototype does not have any paint, and the steel nails look a bit earthy under the excuse of bareness.
　　 The aircraft started, and after seeing that the propeller was rotating normally, there was no problem, the fire extinguishers on both sides were dragged down.
　　The aircraft gradually began to accelerate on the runway, and the first three landing gears allowed it to take off and land at a complex and simple airport, which is also very important.
　　 powerful firepower, can carry explosives, can also take off and land at the humble airport.
　　 These conditions are combined, and it was developed exclusively for the battlefield, and Li Zitao did not refute this.
　　 "The federal government released a call for a double-engine interceptor in March, requiring a climb height of 4500-6500, a subsonic speed, simple, safe, and strong firepower. This fighter was developed for this purpose."
　　Li Zitao was proud to point to the sky, P-38 was sweeping the "battlefield" below with extreme strength, and the sound of wood chips flying and exploding.
　　After the aircraft ceasefire hovered over the sky, the ‘battlefield’ on the ground has been wiped out. This is the advantage shown by ‘lightning’.
