Chapter 1134: Nighthawk

According to Mahmoud’s consistent understanding of Tan Zhenhua, he thought that after he consciously praised Tan Zhenhua, he would evoke Tan Zhenhua’s tirade again, and in the end lead the result to his true purpose-for example, asking him to cash out his bet and "fly The "Leopard" fighter was included in the inspection list for the preparation of the Pakistan Railways.
After all, he has known Tan Zhenhua for so many years, and he has a certain understanding of Tan Zhenhua's way of talking, knowing that this is his habit.
There is no embarrassment to him. He has just been promoted. In fact, there is another good news that he has not had time to share with Tan Zhenhua. Just yesterday, he was appointed to a new position and will succeed him. Major General Latif, who was promoted and transferred to other important positions, became the head of the equipment department!
Investigating all the weapons and equipment that might be useful to Pakistan Railway was originally part of his job responsibilities. Of course, whether he would buy it in the end or how much to buy is not up to him—but just before coming to meet Tan Zhenhua. From the simple exchanges of opinions between him and several important generals in the Air Force, he clearly felt that they showed great interest in the "Flying Leopard" fighters-fighters that can defeat F16, and they are also produced by close relations. Huaxia, there are no restrictions on exports and uses, just these few are enough to move people's hearts.
But the next second, he was stunned.
Because he heard Tan Zhenhua asking him: "Old Ma, are you safe here?"
What do you mean, this is Peshawar Air Force Base, which is heavily guarded, how could there be a security problem...
Mahmoud was stunned for a second, and suddenly understood what Tan Zhenhua was referring to. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "This is not my place, you come with me."
Since Tan Zhenhua felt that the Peshawar base was not safe enough, Mahmoud immediately realized that what he was going to say next was obviously extremely confidential, which made him a little nervous but involuntarily full of inexplicable expectations.
Could it be that the "shield" that Tan Zhenhua is going to talk about contains any mystery?
The safest place is his own office. Mahmoud led Tan Zhenhua and Chen Yijian into the house and carefully closed the door. Then he sighed and asked, "Erik, can you talk now? ?"
Tan Zhenhua nodded and began to tell: "Lao Ma, Master Chen, you all know that I am studying in California, right?"
The two nodded, but they were a little unclear, so they didn't know that he suddenly mentioned the mystery of the place where he was studying.
"Last year, in July 1986, there was a mysterious plane crash in California. The location was near Bakersfield-Meadows Field Airport, which is located in the northwest of Bakersfield in the southern part of California's Central Valley. En County is a public airport owned by the Kern County Government. The airport is operated and managed by the County Airport Authority. It is the main airport in the Bakersfield area and one of the two major international airports in the San Joaquin Valley."
Due to the particularity of the aircraft, almost every crash is accompanied by casualties, and it will naturally become a hot spot for the news media and the general public. Therefore, every air crash, regardless of its size, will be reported in the news to varying degrees, even if it is Military aircraft are no exception.
For example, in another time and space, when the third brother’s family fell into a fighter plane, it would often be listed in a certain hot search within a few hours, and aroused a flurry of jumps in various military circles...
Of course, later this happened because it happened too frequently and became a "menstrual patch", which caused the heat to slowly decrease and it was a normal phenomenon, so that if the third brother reported safety in any month, someone would send out "third brother this month." "I didn't complete the target" with emotion.
"But after this crash, the way the Americans dealt with it was very unusual." Tan Zhenhua continued: "Not only was the scene tightly guarded, a carpet search was carried out to ensure that no debris was missed, and all the media were I was warned that, except for a few sporadic, inexplicable reports, there was hardly any valuable information in the public media."
Mahmoud's brows frowned slightly. As a senior official of the Pakistan Railway Equipment Department, he has also been to the United States many times because of his work. He still has some understanding of this country and knows that there is a strong emphasis on the so-called "freedom of the press." In places where media reporters are not only pervasive, they are also very powerful, and even many political scandals involving the country’s top leaders were first exposed by journalists, such as the famous "Watergate Incident."
What makes the U.S. government and news media tight-lipped can only be a secret event that really involves U.S. national security, and keeping this secret even allows the Democratic and Republican parties to abandon party disputes and reach agreement.
"In this way, the crashed plane is very unusual." He said.
Tan Zhenhua nodded and said: "Yes, I have the same opinion, so after hearing about the accident, I specially found someone to go to the scene."
"Then what do you find?" Chen Yijian asked immediately.
Regardless of the position, Chen Yijian recognizes the achievements of the Americans in aviation technology and their forward-looking, and is also his goal of studying and catching up, such as the soon-to-success "Flying Leopard" in the development process. , The introduction of a large number of Western technologies, although the sources of these technologies are different, but the real source, most of them must be integrated with the invention and diffusion of the Americans, and the existence of the F14 has become It is an important source for him to learn from experience and stimulate design inspiration in the development process.
"My people didn't find anything." Tan Zhenhua said with a little regret: "The Americans took everything away. The crash site can almost be described as being "three feet of ground", and I can't organize a large-scale one. Search work, that will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble."
Both Mahmoud and Chen Yijian showed disappointed expressions on their faces-after talking so much and selling them for a long time, there was nothing in the end. Doesn't this mean nothing?
Except for the Americans who have a big secret about airplanes, other things are still at a loss?
What is the use of this information?
"But they still have a little bit of gain." Tan Zhenhua, who stunned the appetite of the audience, finally threw out his divine turn: "They inquired about a legend through chatting with local residents."
"legend?"
"Yes, a legend, the protagonist of the legend, named Nighthawk."
