Rebirth

Chapter 878

Three days later, the motorcade carrying Li Feng and the three women slowly left the hotel. Today is the time for the hotel to officially resume business. The previous hotel was suspended for one week in order to entertain guests from all walks of life at the previous reception.

Although it is said that I spent three days in the hotel, it is not true to let go of everything in my hands and play with one mind. In addition to spending a few days in the hotel with the three girls, my work will also be involved.

For example, on the second day of the cocktail party, Li Feng negotiated with a group of new group leaders such as Ram, Hugh, Prince, etc., and set the general direction of the new group and short-term planning. For example, reorganizing the core of the two major companies and relisting after the reorganization.

After the merger of the two major companies, the company's naval strength is naturally unique. After all, Northrop Grumman started as a navy and shipbuilding industry, and the United States’ aircraft carriers that wreak havoc on the world are all Northrop Grumman. A masterpiece of Luhmann.

Similarly, with the merger of Raytheon, combined with Northrop's strength in radar and other electronic fields, missiles, aircraft and other fields, the new company will be a super military industry group that is no less inferior to Lockheed Martin.

In addition to the integration of resources and the reorganization of the company, there is another point specifically proposed by Li Feng, that is, the F23 fighter plan. As everyone knows, even in the next 20 years, the best fighter is the F22.

But few people know that in addition to the F22, there was also a competitor to the F22 at that time, that is, the F23 developed by Northrop in conjunction with several major American military enterprises, which is the YF23.

...

Later, Lockheed Martin was able to dominate the global military industry and had a huge reputation. The F22 contributed to it. At that time, the F22 was almost synonymous with advanced fighters.

However, the cost of F22 is really high. Even the American Emperor himself has few, and even the wealthy American Emperor cannot afford it. Although F23 lost to F22 in the competition with Lockheed Martin, it does not mean that F23 is Worse than F22.

In fact, in the competition that year, F23 and F22 had their own advantages and disadvantages. F23 was superior to F22 in terms of extreme altitude, extreme speed, stealth ability, etc., and F22 was even better in the struggle within visual range.To put it plainly, the F22 has better maneuverability in short-range hand-to-hand combat.

In terms of overall strength, F23 is actually even more advanced than F22. Unfortunately, in the end, F23 still lost to F22. All of this is complicated.Similarly, the cost of F23 is also expensive, even more expensive than F22.

At the end of 1996 and early 1997, the US Department of Defense proposed another "JSF project". This project began in 1994 at the earliest. It wanted to develop a light fighter that can be used by several services.

When the US imperialism proposed this plan, NATO members including the United Kingdom joined in one after another. Eventually, the plan took shape at the end of 1996 and early 1997. The research funding is estimated to be US$40 billion.

In fact, at this time, Li Feng thought of the famous F35 fighter jet in later generations, which was said to be a reduced version of the F22.

It is said that Western countries and even Singapore, South Korea, Japan and other countries later joined them, and the cost seemed to be more than 100 million U.S. dollars, but the global order reached 3 to 4000, which seems to be a masterpiece of Lockheed Martin, and the profit is full.

...

The previous life is barely a fan of the pseudo-military. After all, no man doesn't like these things. Listening to it is also a burst of enthusiasm. Thanks to the developed Internet information in later life, there are a lot of information about F222335 on the Internet.

After Li Feng merged with Northrop, he naturally thought of the sealed F23, and suddenly thought in his heart. Now the JSF project has been established and there are competitors. It is impossible to directly give it to Lockheed Martin. Lockheed Martin is naturally the biggest Li Feng wonders if he can also participate in the competition.

If the future main battle light fighters own company participates in it, whether it is influence, competitiveness, or company strength, it is a perfect choice.

Besides, today's military industry pattern is completely different from the previous life. Because the aircraft of the JSF project requires light fighters, the smaller version of the F23 has an advantage.

Why did the F23 lose to the F22 at the time? Isn't it because the model is larger, which leads to slightly inferior maneuverability within the line of sight, but what the JFS project requires is a single-engine single-seat fighter and joint attack aircraft. This leads to a smaller model.

So when the F23 model is down, as the model becomes smaller, the mobility within the line of sight will inevitably increase. Coupled with the development of new technologies in the past few years, it can completely match the future Lockheed Martin It is possible for the F35 designed to be longer or shorter, or even better.

When Li Feng put forward his thoughts, he got the support of former Northrop Grumman president, Blackwater Raytheon president Ram and others, and the JFS project was established for only one year. Big companies are in the project phase.

...

It can be said that the idea of ​​participating in the competition of the F35 fighter is one of the company's biggest strategic decisions after the merger.

For this project, Li Feng actually reported great expectations. In the F35 competition, there was a weakness in the beginning. After all, F22 and Lockheed Martin have won the trust of the Ministry of Defense, but with the international The participation of various countries means that there are new possibilities.

After the participation of these countries, they have certain voting rights. Although the U.S. empire still occupies the majority, if the military influence of the U.S. empire is temporarily weaker than that of Lockheed Martin, then in Europe and South Korea Waiting for other countries, it may not be necessary. After all, Li Feng is not just the boss behind a military industry enterprise.

Of course, such a plan requires the cooperation of all aspects. For example, the new group needs to start contact with the military, and the corresponding supporting measures are also available, such as political lobbying by the U.S. and European participating countries. .

As the so-called leaders move their mouths and subordinates run off their legs, as Li Feng’s proposal has been recognized by everyone, the company that has just merged can be busy. The merger and reorganization of the two companies was not a simple matter. With participation in the JFS project The establishment of the plan is naturally more busy.

For this reason, in the newly merged company, everyone has carried out a division of labor. First of all, the JFS project team was established with Ram as the leader. After all, Ram was the former Secretary of Defense of the US Empire and had inherent advantages. The president of Northrop, the president of Raytheon, and the two big bosses led the merger and reorganization, and people including Prince and Hugh cooperated with the merger.

Naturally, Li Feng can also receive work reports from the company every day. After all, he is still very concerned about these Li Fengs. Recently, Li Feng is going to visit all major departments of the company to see those legendary and world-renowned Top technology frontier.

...

Whether it is Northrop Grumman or Raytheon, the previous life was one of the world's largest military industry giants. In this life, with his own participation, he carried out such a super merger, which changed the pattern of US military industry.

Northrop Grumman is still Raytheon. There are too many super military products under Northrop Grumman, especially Northrop Grumman, those super aircraft carriers under it, as well as the sealed F23 fighter jets and the famous B2. Bombers, etc., these all represent the pinnacle of technology in the world today.

To say that it is impossible for Li Feng to be uninterested in these things, but he is busy at the moment, and Li Feng thinks that he will not add to the chaos for the time being, and hold back.

The previous life of China's aircraft carrier journey was so difficult. Now Northrop Grumman has been annexed by himself. It seems that it is not difficult to go to the aircraft carrier. Li Feng praised himself proudly in his heart.
