Chapter 708: Unlucky old man Lu

"In that case, is IAI's research on fly-by-wire manipulation in depth? What is their technical level?"
"Based on the analysis of the information I have collected, their technical level is quite good." Tan Zhenhua replied: "As early as the first fighter "Cub" successfully developed in the late 1960s, they had already adopted double redundant power. Transmission control system, and after more than ten years of technical accumulation, what I know is that in the "Lavi" project they are promoting, they plan to adopt a more advanced and safer 4-degree system and will be very bold Cancel all mechanical-hydraulic backups, and this latest system is very close to the current technical level of the United States."
Zhan Nuozhu was silent for a while before he let out a slight sigh: "Everyone else has been updated to the second round, but our China has not even been able to get the first-generation telex control system. The gap is really... and Isaac is such a small country, the land and population cannot even be compared to our province."
Tan Zhenhua was also silent when he heard the words. What Zhan Nuozhu said was the truth. Although this fact made them both feel very uncomfortable, they had to admit and face it.
After thinking about it, he said: "Isaac’s ability to achieve such a development as it is today is actually inseparable from the strong support of the U.S. people, and as far as I know, many of IAI’s technologies are not completely developed independently. Yes, in the original "Cubs" research and development process, many not so fair and honest methods were used. This "Lavi" project has received strong support from the United States in the early stage, and even the funding is 40%. It was paid by the Americans."
Speaking of this, Zhan Nuozhu couldn't help but become curious. He asked: "Zhenhua, how can you know so much insider information? I know that you have set up a special gathering and analysis of aviation industry intelligence in Xiangjiang. Institutions, but they shouldn’t be so capable, right?"
Tan Zhenhua replied: "These things are actually semi-public in the United States. It is not that mysterious, and you don't know it? Before coming here, I once went to Long Island, New York and visited a person. ."
"You mean Lu Hesheng?"
"Hehe, the fox's tail is exposed? You know, as expected, how many people have you arranged with me?"
"Boy don't interrupt, I know you have met this Lu Hesheng, but I don't know what you all talked about, but I think he will not tell you even such an important cooperation project after such a courtesy visit. Right? This is too unconscious, the old man is a well-known person in the American aviation industry...emmmm, it seems not necessarily? Your kid has been fighting with his baby granddaughter recently. Is that old man already taking you Is it a grandson-in-law?"
"Oh, the lame man, the more he speaks, the less plausible you are. You are actually monitoring my every move, you can't live this day!"
Tan Zhenhua feigned angrily, but in fact he didn't intend to delve into this matter. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that there was someone who had been watching him in secret, and neither he nor Zhan Nuozhu had any intention of breaking it.
"How much time do I have to take care of your trivial things... However, you just mentioned Grumman's role in this IAI project in front of others. Will it affect the old man? Based on what you just said to the people at IAI, they will definitely go to investigate, and MSD is not a dry meal, your social relations at Stanford and your recent itinerary will definitely be included in the focus of the investigation. , There is no way to hide that."
Tan Zhenhua smiled slightly and said: "Of course I know that this matter will affect the old man a bit, but, if you want to use his status, MSD can't take him anything."
He said that, but in his mind it was another idea: it’s better to have an impact. The bigger the trouble, the better, because ah, this is exactly what he used to take the sheep!
Although Lu Hesheng is a little older, he is currently the pillar of Grumman's technology. This person has a very important role in his present and future. It is also a corner he wants to dig into.
If you want to dig other people’s corners, there are generally only two ways. The first one is naturally to swing your own and dig a big hole out of someone else’s wall. According to Mr. Lu’s current position in Grumman, you want It must be very difficult to achieve this goal. Grumman’s current most important product line is the F-14 "Panda" fighter, and this type of fighter can be said to be built by Mr. Lu. Without him, Grumman thought It would cost a great price to find someone else to replace it. It is very uneconomical. Moreover, Father Lu is not the kind of unsociable person. Grumman has always been good to him, so he has been so old. Staying in the position of chief engineer of the company, it is too difficult for the old man to leave Grumman voluntarily.
So there is only another way.
A simpler, direct, and crude way.
For example, knock down the wall.
The walls are all down, so it will be easier to dig the corners, right?
However, Grumman is not a small company, and the difficulty factor is not small to push it down.
Although Tan Zhenhua knew that this company could not escape this final outcome.
If history is allowed to develop on a normal trajectory, Grumman will be annexed by Northrop in 1994 and renamed "Northrop Grumman".
However, this year is only 1983, and it will take 11 years to wait for that to happen, and the old man is already more than sixty this year...
Therefore, it is impossible to wait. Some special measures must be taken to press the "fast forward" button for this event.
Of course Tan Zhenhua already has a specific plan on how to press this "fast forward" button, but before the plan is actually implemented, he doesn't mind taking every opportunity to cause Grumman trouble.
For example, this "disclosure" incident.
Presumably, he stabbed Grumman in front of several senior leaders of IAI, and he will surely make them protest Grumman, right? There is also Blumenthal, who is silent and influential in American politics...
It's a little exciting to think about it.
The lame man is not an outsider, and Tan Zhenhua did not intend to hide it from him, so he explained his careful thoughts to him. After hearing Tan Zhenhua’s reasons, Zhan Nuozhu touched his chin and pondered for a long time before he came. One sentence: "Old man Lu is really unlucky. It hasn't been determined yet. It is calculated by the future grandson-in-law. If you really marry Lu Caiwei in the future, and the old man accidentally knows the cause and effect, you have to be careful. Break your dog leg!"
