Chapter 840

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.

Colonel Freiburg did not expect this young man to achieve such success in just a few years. Not only made huge wealth, but also made transcendent achievements in science and technology.

It is a living legend, which has reached the point of publishing a book.

Baozixuan didn't dare to hold it up. He stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Hello, Colonel Freiburg. I'm baozixuan. Nice to meet you. "

Colonel Freiburg saluted, then stretched out his hand and said, "I've heard of Mr. Bao's name for a long time. Today, when I see it, it's really a hero."

Ian Wright: "Colonel Freiburg is very familiar with the situation here. Let him give us a good introduction."

Colonel Freiburg is definitely a cruel man. When he was young, he served as a pilot in the B-29 bomber wing of the United States. He was seriously injured during the war against Japan, resulting in the amputation of one arm.

The opinion of the high-level military is to withdraw from active service, but the old man simply stays in the army with excellent military quality and amazing perseverance. You know, this is very rare. The pain and difficulties experienced are unimaginable to outsiders.

Colonel Freiburg said very seriously: "Davis Munson Air Force Base was built in 1925. In 1927, after Aviator Lin Bai set the record of flying over the Atlantic for the first time in history. Flying a single wing aircraft, the spirit of St. Louis, landed here and held the opening ceremony for Davis Munson airport, which was also the largest civil airport in the United States at that time. During World War II, this airport served as a bomber combat training base. "

"After the end of World War II, the airport was turned into an air force base. Since 1946, it has been responsible for the task of preserving military aircraft. The B-29 bomber that the United States dropped the first atomic bomb in Hiroshima, the "Enola guy", was the first "residents" after Davis Munson air force base became an aircraft storage site. "

"Later, during the Korean War and Vietnam War, the base was responsible for providing aircraft and spare parts."

"At the same time, the base is also the aerospace repair and maintenance center of the U.S. military. In the vast desert of the base, retired military aircraft and sealed aircraft are stored. Because the climate here is warm and dry, the body corrodes very slowly. "

"Every aircraft sent here has to remove the vulnerable parts and expensive instruments, and drain the" aircraft's blood "- all liquids such as fuel and hydraulic oil. The windows, doors and hatches on the body are sealed with protective materials, and the cabin glass is tightly covered to prevent aging and yellowing due to direct sunlight from the desert for a long time, However, the cabin door on the belly of the aircraft shall be opened as far as possible to avoid excessive air pressure in the aircraft. "

"As long as the mission needs, many aircraft can go directly to the battlefield after maintenance and maintenance."

The old Colonel spoke loudly and forcefully. Although it's just a brief introduction, it sounds like blood boiling.

Baozixuan came to visit and travel in his previous life. The person in charge of the base will not personally receive him. After all, he doesn't have the strength to disturb others.

General Ian Wright said with a smile, "Mr. Bao may not know that the correction on Freiburg was after the B-29 bomber checked in; He was a pilot on the B-29 bomber. "

Hearing this, baozixuan felt respectful to the old man in front of him. This has nothing to do with which people, but the recognition of their achievements.

With the first batch of B-29 bombers moving into the base together, Colonel Freiburg is likely to have been to Hiroshima or Nagasaki. Although there is no way to prove it, it's probably ten.

Steamed stuffed bun Xuan said with a kind of respect: "every soldier who bled, injured and sacrificed for the country is a hero. It's also a worthwhile trip to see one today. "

Colonel Freiburg did not expect that the rich man in front of him was not old, but he spoke very comfortably. It seems that success requires not only IQ, but also Eq.

After a few more greetings, Colonel Freiburg showed them around.
