Chapter 841

The base is too big. Fortunately, there is a venue car. Otherwise, you may not have to do anything all day. It's not enough to hang out at Davis Munson air force base.

Out of respect for Colonel Freiburg, baozixuan asked to watch the B-29 strategic bomber first. This is a model of meritorious service, which is also good for the old man.

Although the Ministry of defense has decided to cooperate with the black cloud group, the county magistrate is not as good as the present one. If you can make the old man feel good, things will go much better.

Colonel Freiburg readily agreed to the request of baozixuan. In his opinion, the rich man is very sensible and not as domineering as he thought. The most important thing is to respect people, which is much better than many super rich.

Colonel Freiburg is very familiar with the whole base. This familiarity has been imprinted in the bones. It may be to forget who you are and the layout of Davis Munson air force base.

The crowd soon came to the location of the B-29 strategic bomber cluster. Of course, the most people came here to watch.

As an aeroengine engineer, I certainly know the star fighter in World War II. The B-29 strategic bomber is also the only aircraft that has ever carried out nuclear bombing missions, which has been very legendary.

Colonel Freiburg looked at the B-29 bomber with tenderness all the time, as if he saw a lover. This feeling is difficult for ordinary people to understand. It is estimated that only those who have experienced life and death can realize the meaning.

Fortunately, the old man didn't let everyone wait too much time, but seriously introduced: "B-29 bomber is a propeller strategic bomber."

"The airframe has a flat wing four engine aerodynamic layout, and its name continues from the B-17 bomber. It was the main bomber of the U.S. Army aviation team in the Asian battlefield of World War II, and it was also the largest aircraft in the air forces of various countries at that time."

"The aircraft is mainly used for strategic bombing and long-range bombing missions. It can also be used as an anti submarine, reconnaissance and air tanker. It uses the advanced technologies at that time, such as cabin pressurization, front three-point landing gear, high wing load and remote-control machine gun turret. It is known as the" super air fortress "

"The B-29 bomber was developed by the U.S. Boeing company in 1940. It made its first flight on September 21, 1942. It threw atomic bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan in August 1945. It continued to serve in the U.S. Air Force for a long time after World War II until it was completely retired in the early 1960s."

Colonel Freiburg is quite familiar with this strategic bomber. Under the rendering with special feelings, the people next to him felt like they were boiling with blood and wanted to board the plane immediately to carry out the bombing mission.

Ian Wright smiled and said, "Mr. Bao should also know this meritorious fighter!"

This is a test of yourself. It seems that you should show your hand, or it's easy to be looked down upon.

Bao Zixuan: "B-29 strategic bomber; Developed and produced by Boeing. 11 crew members; 30.18m long; Wingspan 43.05m; Machine height: 8.46m; Wing area 161.27m2; Overall empty weight 33793kg; Maximum takeoff weight 61236kg; Maximum flight speed 574 km / h; The practical ceiling is 10241m; The maximum range is 5663 km; The operational radius is 2574 ~ 2896 kilometers. "

"Assemble 4 Wright r-3350-23 engines; Later, replace with r-3350-41 and r-3350-57 engines. Engine thrust 2200hp / set. "

"The maximum amount of ammunition on board is 9072 kg; It is equipped with 12 12.7mm machine guns and 1 20mm machine gun. The machine gun design is cancelled for later models. "

"On the whole, the B-29 bomber has changed the way of human war. There is no comparable bomber in the arsenal of human history. During World War II, the US military did not land a single soldier in Japan, but it made Japan bow to its knees. "

"The fire attack on Japan and the air dropping of atomic bombs launched by B-29 not only completely destroyed Japan's war potential, but also disintegrated Japan's resistance determination of" 100 million pieces of jade. "

"Although many fighters are more advanced than him, none can reach the height of the B-29 strategic bomber. Whether it's a fighter or a bomber, you need to speak with your achievements. Although the United States has more advanced strategic bombers such as the B-52, in my opinion, it is almost impossible for them to surpass the B-29 strategic bombers. "

Steamed stuffed bun Xuan's words surprised Ian Wright and Colonel Freiburg, and suddenly thought of the boy's major. I seem to understand something. It seems that other people's professional courses have not fallen at all.

Ian Wright: "Mr. Bao's wealth has made people forget their major. It seems that we hit the muzzle of a gun. There should be no doubt about the MIT PhD in aeronautical dynamics. "

Colonel Freiburg smiled and said, "Mr. Bao not only understands the comprehensive performance of the B-29 strategic bomber, but also knows the real meaning of this aircraft."

"Maybe people are getting old and some begin to nostalgic. I often think about how the United States would end the war without B-29 strategic bombers. At that time, it can only be filled in with human lives. Maybe how many people will die. "

That's right. After all, the battlefield environment and technical equipment at that time. It's no use having an atomic bomb in the air. Without a suitable means of delivery, a nuclear bomb can only be detonated at home. In addition to the madness of the Japanese, there must be a bloody war.

Bao Zixuan: "we may not have your deep experience. It is estimated that only those who have experienced the war can understand the meaning. I have an idea. I don't know if I can sell two B-29 strategic bombers. "

When Bao Zixuan finished, the expressions of Colonel Freiburg and lieutenant general Ian Wright were somewhat frozen. What does this guy mean? He wants to buy strategic bombers. You know, although this aircraft has been retired for many years, it has carried out nuclear bombing missions after all, but its deterrence is not weak at all.

Seeing their expressions, baozixuan smiled and said, "don't misunderstand me. I don't mean anything else. I set up a military museum in Xiangjiang and wanted to include all the classic weapons in the world. "

"If I can, I will buy it at the ex factory price of that year. And it is guaranteed that it will not be used for combat purposes. It is said that there is no difference between bombing and death for aircraft in World War II. "

After Bao Zixuan finished, the two people remembered that people didn't see the technology of B-29 at all. Black cloud group is an enterprise that can produce even HH-01 stealth fighter bombers. Buying B-29 should be purely a personal hobby.

The whole world knows that baozixuan is building a black cloud town in Xiangjiang. It's said that the buildings inside are strange. It's normal for young rich people to pursue something different.

Ian Wright: "the Department of defense has no opinion on the sale of retired B-29 aircraft. It depends on what Colonel Freiburg means."

When he heard of kicking the ball to himself, Colonel Freiburg knew that the Ministry of defense would not embarrass the young rich man because of some small things. And looking at the sincerity of others and buying according to the price of the new aircraft is also a respect for meritorious fighters.

Colonel Freiburg: "since Mr. Bao is so sincere, and the main achievement of B-29 is to establish in Asia. Now we can give Asian people the opportunity to visit, of course, we can't stop it. "

Maybe he doesn't worry about buying baozixuan to carry out combat missions at all, or maybe he wants the B-29 to be remembered by more people. Colonel Freiburg had no opinion on the sale of the bomber, and even showed a very positive attitude.

Steamed stuffed bun Xuan brushed a little smart and bought it at the ex factory price. In that year, the price of a B-29 strategic bomber was about $2 million. After all, the price of aircraft during World War II was generally low.

But at that time, it was absolutely sky high, even the most expensive plane.

You know, Boeing B-29 "super air fortress" bomber is one of the ultimate weapons in the arsenal of allies during World War II. It was the largest and most advanced strategic bomber at that time. It applied the latest scientific and technological achievements. Its total project investment was about US $3 billion, more than US $1.9 billion planned in Manhattan. It was the most expensive weapon development plan in World War II.

According to the production of 4000 units, the R & D cost of a single unit is close to US $1 million. In addition to other labor, raw materials and other costs. Boeing's offer has been very kind, mainly during the war, and it dare not ask too hard.

Although I know the price, I still have to ask. See if Americans are real. Don't treat them as fish.

Bao Zixuan: "Colonel Freiburg, you know this plane best. Let the accountant record the ex factory price of that year. "

Colonel Freiburg felt very normal, but Ian Wright next to him looked at Bao Shoufu with interest. This young man is really not the loser. It seems that we should pay attention to doing business with such people.

Although others are young, they are in business; It is estimated that the people at the scene are not their opponents.

Colonel Freiburg said seriously, "it's $1.92 million, which is the price Boeing sold to the military that year."

Very satisfied with the price. After baozixuan nodded, the staff quickly recorded it. This is the boss's personal account. No one dares to be reconciled.
