0847 This Is Mr. Lynch
/
"Are you sure they are two identical aircraft?"
The lieutenant colonel sitting in the car repeated the question again and again. The lieutenant sitting in the front seat nodded cautiously, "Yes, sir!"
The lieutenant colonel frowned and said no more.
In fact, the research and development of civilian aircraft has never stopped. The military has also funded some civilian scientists to study these things before, but there have been no effective results.
The aircraft they made can indeed fly, which is definitely no problem, otherwise the military would have limited military expenditures and would not be able to spend money everywhere.
But the problem is that these aircraft cannot land after they fly. This is the biggest problem.
More than half of the ten landings have a probability of crashing, and even seven or eight out of ten aircraft end up with landing problems.
It is impossible for the military to invest more energy and financial resources into such dangerous disposable toys. Instead, they are more inclined to various hot air balloons and air boats.
Airships are just an idea and have not yet been used in practice. On the contrary, various fast-rising hot air balloon technologies have matured.
The most common observation hot air balloon can take a soldier to a height of at least fifteen meters above the ground in just twenty seconds. If the rope is longer and the time is longer, it can lift to nearly six meters in one minute. Ten meters in the air!
Bringing a walkie-talkie and a telescope can effectively observe the range beyond the visual range of people on the ground, and this thing is very cheap.
A combination of some chemical products can send a person to heaven for a few hundred yuan at most.
But the aircraft is very troublesome. It needs an engine, and the price of the engine is not cheap. In addition to the overall structure, it costs tens of thousands of dollars to crash, and it also costs the lives of soldiers.
Although the hot air balloon looks dangerous, it is actually not particularly dangerous. It has a set of emergency measures to prevent the investigator from losing his life due to the excessive fall speed after the main balloon ruptures.
You may break your leg in the end, but it doesn't make much difference to a hot air balloon scout whether you have a leg or not. This refers to when you're in the sky.
It will indeed be a bit troublesome on the ground, but it is definitely better than losing your life.
Due to various reasons, aircraft have never been recognized and valued by the military. Although this thing is developing very fast now, the entire industry is also booming.
The lieutenant colonel is reporting on his work. The top general on duty in the Bupen warning area is the army lieutenant general. Every day, the colonel has to report the day's work plan to the lieutenant general.
This is routine work, and you can find it annoying, but you can't ignore it, especially in some armies where the rules are particularly strict.
The people below suddenly reported that two aircraft flew over the warning area one after another and then turned back. This immediately attracted the attention of the commander of the warning area.
While arranging for people to chase the aircraft, he reported the news here to the Ministry of National Defense and the Security Committee.
The role of the warning zone is to protect Bupen's safety. Now there is an unidentified aircraft passing over the warning zone. No matter how you look at it, it is not a normal thing.
What's more important is that the soldiers who witnessed it reported that they looked exactly the same, which is even more worth pondering.
Many people believe that the reason why master craftsmanship is valuable is that there cannot be two identical works of the same design. They believe that those small differences are a reflection of the craftsmanship.
If everything is exactly the same, then these things may only be soulless assembly line products, although hundreds of years ago people also crazyly pursued the sameness.
Assembly line products mean that they can be produced industrially on a large scale.
Ordinary people may only know the "assembly line" as a place where capitalists exploit workers, but for school officials who have gone to college and received modern education, this means mature design!
No one will let immature things enter the assembly line. That is because they feel they have too much money and want to help people who need work.
A mature design means that it has at least solved most of the current problems of the same product, so mass production will eventually be possible.
The lieutenant colonel even believed that this test flight was probably the final preparation for the assembly line, or the first batch of products coming out of the assembly line.
Even if there are two or more aircraft, as long as they are not exactly the same, there will not be such a big movement in the military region!
"They seem to have landed!" the lieutenant sitting in front of the car holding his weapon exclaimed, and the lieutenant colonel immediately stood up and looked towards the distant sky.
The two aircraft circled in the air for two times and then began to descend. He felt slightly anxious and said, "Speed up and get there as soon as possible."
By the time the lieutenant colonel flew out of the dense forest, the two aircraft had safely stopped at the end of a runway.
"Who are you?"
The lieutenant colonel asked loudly, and the soldiers got out of the car one after another. Although the weapons in their hands were not raised, they were always ready.
Not far away from him, a group of people stood together, some "doctors" in white coats gathered around a young man, and around them there were some guys with obvious military temperaments.
Their sudden appearance makes people who already seem dangerous become even more dangerous.
This phenomenon made the lieutenant colonel a little nervous. He whispered to the lieutenant beside him, "Requesting support..."
A little timid, but there was nothing he could do about it. He sensed an elite aura from the people opposite him. This was a feeling that... was hard to describe.
Just seeing these people, there will be a voice in the brain, "These people are not easy to mess with."
The young man in the middle of the crowd took out a small piece of paper and handed it to a... lady next to him.
The lady walked straight towards them, and saluted a military salute about twenty meters away from them.
This military salute made the lieutenant colonel feel a little more relaxed, "I am the lieutenant colonel of the security area..."
He gave his name.
Austin also said in almost the same tone, "Former federal soldier Austin, my boss asked me to give this to you. He knows the purpose of your coming here..."
Austin was allowed to approach the lieutenant colonel after stating that he had no intention of harming anyone and that he had made no misunderstandings.
Finally, the lieutenant colonel got a business card from her hand, and then there was a moment of confusion.
There was only Lynch's name and a few phone numbers on it, and nothing else. Even the name was signed by Lynch himself.
Compared to other business cards with various titles, either manager or company president, this business card is a bit too plain.
But no one can really regard it as a simple business card, because there is a name on it that people cannot ignore.
"Is he... Mr. Lynch?"
With a faint smile on his face, Austin nodded, "Yes."
It sounds incredible that the Lieutenant Colonel does not know Lynch, but this is exactly the current situation of the Federal Army.
In order to fight against enemies that have never appeared before, the army's training level is not much worse than that of the navy. In order to prevent the army's style from being corrupted, the army has become a small society independent of society.
They have their own newspaper, the Bundeswehr
They have their own TV programs "Military Observer", "Defense News", etc.
There were their own series, some about the war.
They do not have much contact with the outside world. Some senior military generals believe that an overly relaxed military camp environment will cause soldiers to become waste like the Gaevra Army.
Gevra's soldiers don't get up until nine in the morning, have tea in the afternoon, and take weekends off to attend clubs and salons.
They told the federal people with facts that if they want the army to have combat effectiveness, they must maintain their independence.
This is also one of the reasons why many retired soldiers return to their local areas after being discharged from the army and need to go through veterans clubs before reintegrating into society①.
Therefore, in a relatively closed environment, people have no spontaneous desire to pay attention to external social information, and they also lack channels.
They may know that there is a very powerful young man named Lynch recently, but they still cannot connect this name with a certain face in their impression.
Until this moment...
"Mr. Lynch asked me to tell you that if anyone wants to talk to him about the aircraft, they can contact him through the phone above."
"Then...goodbye, Lieutenant Colonel!" Austin saluted again and left, and then Lynch and his party left directly.
"Are you going to stop them, sir?" The lieutenant looked aggrieved at the group of people leaving. He was a little angry that they dared to leave directly in the face of the military's obstruction.
Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, who already knew the "truth", thought this was normal. Mr. Lynch not only had a strong network of connections, social status, wealth, etc., he also had a close relationship with the top military officials.
As a lieutenant colonel who may be promoted to a general officer in the future, he knows some inside information. He has a good relationship with Colonel Trueman, and has a good relationship with several lieutenant generals and generals in the army.
Stop him?
I'm afraid that the military police will arrest them tomorrow and go through the process. They have no room to reason. The army is an authoritarian closed society, and they can only bear it.
"That's Mr. Lynch..."
The lieutenant's puzzled eyes seemed to ask him, "Can Mr. Lynch do whatever he wants?"
But soon, "Mr. Lynch" and "Mr. Lynch" in the lieutenant's mind gradually overlapped, and there were some changes in his eyes.
If it were anyone else, they might not have the authority to do so.
But if he is "Mr. Lynch", then doing whatever he wants is his most basic right!
The group waited for a while, and support from the security area arrived. This time, the colonel led the team in person, and a company came directly from them!
But obviously, they are a little nervous -
