It's just that he couldn't help himself at this time. In order to avoid revealing the secret, he simply committed suicide?He's not that stupid, he's not that high-minded, and he's not that trained.

Finally, when he finally landed, he was brought here by someone, and he was kept in the cabin all the time. After these days of sailing, he didn't even know which country he had arrived at.

Later, a middle-aged man with a mustache came to the small bedroom where he lived temporarily and had a deep and friendly conversation with him.

"Hello, you've worked hard all the way." Yourid said, he didn't feel comfortable entrusting this matter to others, so he dispatched it himself.

Urid uses standard English, which is also an international language that Korean pilots must master when flying international routes.

"Why did you bring me here?" Chen Bingyong asked. Anyway, he was controlled by the other party. When he spoke, he had no worries. He could find out how the other party wanted to deal with him.

"Because the CIA wants to kill you!" Yourid said, "We took these measures to protect you. I hope you can forgive me. It is for this reason that we will not let your whereabouts be revealed along the way."

"Are you joking? Why did the CIA want to kill me?" Chen Bingyong asked: "I am the captain of a Korean Air Boeing 747. Although I fly an international route, what does the CIA have to do with it? They Why did you kill me?"

"Because they are afraid that you will reveal the secret! Because, you must be a dead person!" Yurid's words were a bit sharp, and while speaking, he stared at the other party with his own eyes, exerting strong pressure on the other party.

Because I'm afraid you'll reveal the secret!You must be a dead man!Hearing the other party's words, Chen Bingyong's heart suddenly seemed to be stabbed by a knife, because he had already remembered that he could have avoided this disaster, but at the critical moment, one of the Boeing 747 airliners However, the engine suddenly broke down. You know, this is the first time in his nearly six years of flying the Boeing 747. The engine of this kind of airliner is very mature, and the chance of encountering a failure is very small. The flight is a very important flight. This plane should undergo rigorous testing before take-off. Therefore, there is no possibility of any problem with the engine, unless... Yurid saw the other party pondering for a while, and knew that he had He has successfully persuaded the other party, and he is already full of confidence in the content of the next conversation.

"I don't have any secrets." Although Chen Bingyong thought of those things, he didn't believe the person in front of him.

"Really?" Yourid sneered at the other party in his heart, and said: "Okay, then I will go to the reporter immediately, the captain of Korean Air Flight 1490 did not die in the accident, our When the cargo ship passed by, he happened to save him. He is the only survivor of the accident. We will hold a press conference to celebrate his survival."

"Don't..." Chen Bingyong has already believed that if the news that he survived is disclosed, then the CIA will definitely send someone to the press conference to kill him before he speaks. The leak of these secrets will be a blow to the United States will be fatal.

"Then tell us everything you know, so that we can help you get rid of the CIA's pursuit." Yourid said.

Chen Bingyong knew that the other party's words meant both protection and threat. If he didn't tell the other party everything he knew, then the other party would definitely disclose himself, and the most helpless thing for him was that he There is no other way but to choose to cooperate with the other party. However, thinking of the aircraft engine failure, Chen Bingyong no longer has any good feelings for the United States. No matter what the purpose of the person in front of him is, the other party saved him.Moreover, the person in front of him must have known some inside information, otherwise, how could the other party have just saved him at that time?

Being able to survive is the most important thing, let those proud words of serving the country go to hell!

...John walked out of the Ministry of Defense building, but his face was terribly gloomy.

He has been working hard, but he didn't expect that when the storm came, it was his project that fell ahead of time!

Hong Kong, half a world away, had a fatal impact on him!

In order to maintain Hong Kong's economic stability, the British government has invested a large amount of money, and even the follow-up funds of his project have been embezzled.However, in the end, the British zhèngfǔ was a disastrous failure. The British zhèngfǔ used up its foreign exchange reserves and borrowed a lot of debt from the United States. The UK is already poor.

Under such a premise, the United Kingdom wants to reduce various expenses, and its investment in the army is also greatly reduced. Several new destroyers under construction have been suspended, and the Type 42 destroyer modified according to the impact of the Falklands War , has also slowed down progress.

As for the pre-warning machine project, which cost a lot of money but has not made substantial progress so far, it has received even more cold eyes from the army.

The army does not want the UK to develop its own, and wants to buy a mature E-3 early warning aircraft, but this will be a huge blow to the development of the UK's own radar, and the UK has already declined.The parameters of the military’s own early warning machine need to be the same as those of the E-3, or even higher. , in the military, the voice of opposition finally gained an advantage amid the sweeping economic turmoil.The military said that with the past two years, the money spent on the pre-warning machine project is enough to buy two E-3 pre-warning planes. Up to now, this kind of pre-warning machine has not been solved yet. Technical problems, if you continue to spend, it will be a bottomless pit!

The military finally succeeded. The British government did not support the self-development of this pre-alert machine, but passed the plan to purchase the E-3 pre-alert machine. Of course, the appropriation will have to wait until next year at least, but the pre-alert machine for hunting fans The project, which has been suspended, will not receive another pound of funding. Without funding, how can this project continue?

As the person in charge of the pre-warning aircraft project, John, the chief engineer of British Aerospace Corporation, conducted another round of difficult negotiations with the military, but of course there was no result in the end.

This group of people only care about their own interests. After the failure of this project, the British radar industry will definitely never recover from it!John knew the blow of this incident, but there was nothing he could do.

As soon as he walked out of the building, he saw a person getting out of a taxi beside him, his old friend, Bruce.

"Hey, John, it's the weekend, let's go play football!" Bruce said.

During this period of time, Bruce has often asked John to play ball, and the relationship between the two has become like an old friend from college.

"Forget it, Bruce, I'm not in the mood today." John was in a very bad mood.

"What's the matter?" John asked, "Is it because of the recent economic downturn in the UK?"

The economic downturn in the UK has not affected Ousheng Electronics at all. Their products are exported to various countries. The proportion of the UK domestic market is getting smaller and smaller. Engineers have applied for jobs at Ousheng Electronics Company, and the current Ousheng Electronics Company is already the most famous big-name civilian electronics company in the UK.

Moreover, the new generation of mobile phones has overcome almost all technical difficulties and is ready to be put on the market.

Anyway, the project is about to fall through, so everything is insignificant. John did not hide from his old friend, and said: "The project we carried out, because of insufficient funds, is going to be discontinued. After several years of hard work, I didn't expect it to disappear like this. Let's go. Let's go to the bar for a drink."

What Bruce was waiting for was this opportunity. He said cautiously: "Actually, this project may not necessarily fail. As far as I know, some countries are very interested in our fan-hunting early warning aircraft. Since our military is not willing to , why not sell it to these countries?"

Chapter 523 International Cooperation of Hunting Fans

When John heard Bruce's answer, he immediately became vigilant. His good friend should not have doubted him. However, although he hadn't asked himself the question of the early warning machine during this period of time, now, he said, Some countries are more interested in this early warning machine project, has he been waiting for this opportunity?

"Bruce, which country is interested in our early warning machine?" John asked.

"Brazil, China, Pakistan, Iraq, these countries are all more interested in the early warning aircraft project." Bruce is not that stupid. While talking about Iraq, he first brought up several other countries.

"Hasn't your company been researching Walkmans all the time? How did you start to get involved in these fields?" John then asked.Hearing that these countries were all interested in the early warning machine project, he began to think that maybe his own early warning machine project would not die.

"Our company is an electronics company, and we have to be involved in all electronic products." Bruce said: "In addition to walkmans, we are already preparing to put wireless phones on the market, which will promote great changes in our lives. We will invest in emerging electronic products, such as personal computers, networks, and other fields. We don’t have the strength yet for projects such as pre-warning machines, but in the future, we will also advance to military products. Compared with civilian products, military products have greater Profit margins."

Hearing Bruce's answer, John became curious about this Ousheng Electronics Company that was rising in the UK. The tone of the company's president is really not small!If you want to rise up in these projects, then, what scale will this electronics company expand to?Absolutely a world-class big company!

But now, these things are still too far away for John. The most important thing at the moment is his early warning machine project, which cannot die prematurely.

If there is foreign capital injection, then the pre-warning machine project can definitely be completed!

"The countries you mentioned are all very interested in our early warning aircraft project?" Bruce asked.

"Yes, if you want, I can introduce you to our general manager. She has a lot of connections and can help you get in touch." John said.

Thinking of those stinky faces of the Air Force in the Ministry of National Defense, criticizing the things he had worked so hard to develop for nothing, John just couldn't get angry.

"Okay, I'll go see your general manager." John said, at his level, he never looked down on these civilian electronics companies before, but now, he has to rely on them.

Moreover, this Ousheng Electronics Company has really been in the limelight recently, even a few of his subordinates want to go there to apply for a job, and the salary given by the other party is higher than that given by British Aerospace Corporation.

As a result, after he went, he was completely fooled.Bruce's task is to give John hope when this project is about to fail, and Sarah's task is to completely sell John's project to Iraq.Her electronics company has also entered the field of military products since then.

When he came to the luxuriously decorated office, John was very surprised to find that the general manager of Ousheng Electronics was actually a woman!Although the status of men and women in the UK has long been equal, and John has never meant to despise women, but now, John is still a little surprised to see the female general manager sitting on a large chair.

"Mr. John, you are very welcome to our company." Sarah said with a smile, looking at the person in front of her.

"I didn't expect that the general manager of Ousheng Electronics Company, which has been the most popular recently, is such a sexy beauty. You surprised me, an old man!" John said. In fact, he is only in his 40s, but he still feels Until I am old.

Sarah was overjoyed when she heard the other party praise herself, if it was that man who praised herself, how wonderful it would be!If this sentence was put in China, I am afraid that it would be caught by the bodyguards and dragged out immediately, but in Europe, this sentence is indeed a sincere compliment. Sarah has not heard anyone say this for a long time.

The people who come into contact with her are either her subordinates or big customers, who would dare to say such a thing?

"Bruce said, something went wrong with your latest project?" Sarah asked.

"Yeah, the economy in the UK is currently in a downturn, and our project will soon be cut off by the Ministry of Defense." John said, since the other party came to attract other interested customers for him, and he was such a person Sensitive beauty, John lost his vigilance and told all his old stories when he came up.

"Unexpectedly, since last year, the British economy has been deteriorating. In the Hong Kong dollar crisis last month, the British government was hit hard. Now there are a lot of unemployed people in the country." Sarah said: "It's a pity that zhèngfǔ must cut some projects in order to reduce expenses."

Sarah said this to give John a face. According to the Ministry of National Defense, this project is a failed project. The technical difficulties cannot be overcome, and the risk is too high. It is better to buy an American ready-made early warning machine.

Now it comes down to the deterioration of the economy. This statement is acceptable to John: "Yes, if the country invests more funds in us, our fan-hunting early warning machine can fully meet all technical functions and be put into practical use."
