Spy Wars: Get the Predator equipment at the beginning

Chapter 983, pages 80 and 29

Zhang Yunhe had been observing the situation at Lockheed Martin. At this moment, he was sitting in a restaurant diagonally opposite the Martin company, eating a sandwich and drinking beer.

There were also many Martin Company managers and employees dining in the restaurant.

When a convoy drove out of Martin Company, Zhang Yunhe noticed it. A thought struck him: such a large convoy must mean that some important person had come to discuss a military project with the head of Martin Company.

He thought for a moment, then turned to a white technician sitting behind him and asked, "Hey, looks like someone important is here today? Do you know who it is?"

The white technician looked up at Zhang Yunhe, saw that he was also wearing the same work clothes, and assumed that he was also an employee of Martin Company. He said, "You don't know? The news came from the company yesterday that Army Air Forces Commander Carroll is coming here to inspect and discuss new projects!"

"A new project? Isn't there always a huge demand for the 38 fighter jet? We're already working overtime every day to produce it, and we still have extra production capacity to develop new projects?" Zhang Yunhe asked.

The white technician shook his head: "I don't know, but there must be a new project, otherwise Carroll wouldn't have come in person!"

After lunch, Zhang Yunhe immediately infiltrated Martin's company.

As he stealthily approached the conference room outside the office building, he overheard Milo, the head of Martin Company, calling a meeting with project managers and other senior executives.

"General Carroll's purpose in coming here today is very clear: he wants us to come up with a fighter jet design based on the Halford H1B engine, and name it P80!"

"These are some specific requirements from the Army Aviation for this fighter jet. You can take turns looking at them!"

The materials were distributed, and each participant sitting at the conference table received a copy.

A few minutes later, seeing that everyone had finished reading, Milo said, "You all know the requirements of the Army Aviation. This is a brand new fighter jet, powered by jet engines, not traditional propellers. This is a type of aircraft that we have never developed before!"

"After the meeting, all three design studios should begin their design work and each should produce a design proposal. My requirement is that they not only meet the requirements of the Army Aviation Corps, but also produce a complete design proposal within one month. Are there any problems?"

The head of the second design studio raised his hand and said, "Only one month for design? Isn't that too short?"

Milo shook his head and said, "A month is already a long time. Right now, whether in the East or the West, the war is raging fiercely. Our enemies won't give us much time!"

"Once the final design is finalized, the Army Aviation will only give us three months to produce the first fighter jet!"

Time is short and the task is indeed very heavy, but we are at wartime, and there are more than one or two aircraft manufacturing companies on the Joker's side. If they don't take on this project, there are many other aircraft manufacturing companies willing to undertake it.

Zhang Yunhe could hear clearly outside the conference room: the first jet fighter, the P-80?

This is a great thing. Although its production was limited to just over 1700 units, it was the prototype of the Joker modern fighter jet.

However, it seems that the P80 project has only just been initiated and the design has not yet begun. But since we are in wartime, everything is for the sake of efficiency. This fighter jet can start testing in six months at most, but it is estimated that it will take at least a year before it is actually equipped by the military.

Zhang Yunhe made a note of this incident, intending to do it again in the future.

Since we're here, we should take some things with us.

He quickly located the design department's archives and, while the administrator was out for lunch, sneaked into the archives and searched rapidly, eventually finding the design drawings and documents for the P38 Lightning fighter.

There were so many design drawings and documents that it would take days and nights to photograph them all, so he had to pack them all into his backpack.

The total production of this fighter jet was approximately 1,000 by the end of the war, with most of them used to support the European theater.

The next day, after news spread that the design blueprints and documents for the P38 fighter jet had been stolen, Zhang Yunhe had already arrived near Boeing's headquarters.

He first called James.

"Hello?" James's voice came through the phone.

Zhang Yunhe said, "James, it's me! I wanted to ask if you have any connections at Boeing?"

Upon hearing this, James on the other end of the phone asked, "What? You want to buy Boeing products?"

Zhang Yunhe said, "I heard they've developed and put into production a new bomber called the B-29. I'd like to ask if you have any connections to get your hands on one!"

On the other end of the phone, James said, "Yes, Boeing has just started production and equipped itself with this B-29. I know its performance. You could say that this bomber has ushered in the era of strategic bombing and is known by the military as the Flying Fortress!"

"But as far as I know, this bomber is not currently for sale. On the one hand, production capacity is limited, and we don't even have enough for our own use, so why would we sell it to others? On the other hand, it's to prevent technology leaks, you know what I mean. So if you want to buy this bomber, I really can't help you!"

"There are also the P-47 and several other aircraft models, which have only recently been developed and produced here, and the quantities are limited. They are all on the sales ban list!"

"okay, I get it!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yunhe did not take immediate action but instead spent some time conducting reconnaissance.

Boeing had previously developed and produced the B-17 bomber, but that was an early model and not comparable to the B-29.

As the first representative to usher in the era of strategic bombers, the B-29 possesses outstanding performance that no other bomber in the world currently possesses, including an extremely long range, a large payload, and considerable self-defense capabilities.

In fact, the design of the B-29 bomber had been modified for several years and had not been finalized until recently. This was because Boeing produced two aircraft and submitted them for testing. The performance data in all aspects met the requirements, which led to the finalization of the design.

In fact, this strategic bomber has only just begun full-scale production, and the design drawings and data are still being organized and prepared for archiving.

Zhang Yunhe arrived at just the right time. That day, he sneaked into the headquarters building and happened to run into the project manager and technicians who were packing up all the materials and preparing to seal them away.

"These are all the design drawings and documents for B29. Your task today is to take them to the archives and seal them away!" the project manager said to the personnel and guards who came to move and protect the equipment.

"Yes, Mr. Joseph!"

There are a lot of design drawings and research materials, even if they don't weigh a ton, they weigh at least half a ton, making the transportation work very time-consuming and laborious.

After the project manager left, the staff began moving the blueprints and documents.

There were 12 people on the scene. Zhang Yunhe quickly appeared, holding a silenced pistol in both hands, and fired four shots in quick succession at the four guards around him, killing them.

The remaining eight staff members responsible for moving the documents and blueprints screamed in fright, but Zhang Yunhe did not let them call the others. He kept firing his pistol and killed them all in a few breaths.

The blueprints and documents were quickly stored in the backpack. After thinking for a moment, it also took all 12 corpses. It cleaned up the scene at an extremely fast speed, removing the bloodstains and bullet casings, as if nothing had ever happened there.
