The journey starts from the Titanic

At the same time, in the east, Cummins Broadcasting Corporation is also preparing to invest more than 7 million US dollars in wireless broadcasting with the New York Times and Moody's Fitch Company, striving to decisively occupy as much of the wireless broadcasting market as other companies are still hesitating.

Situ Nan opened the newspaper and found that the whole story was radio broadcast. After intensive bombing, people felt a little aesthetic fatigue.

Situ Nan felt a little boring, ignored the so-called headlines, and read the flight race across the Atlantic with relish.

"Is this the announcer you are talking about?" Kuzdova looked at Situ Nan expectantly.

"Yes. Your voice is good. You should be competent with practice." Situ Nan looked at Kuzdova and couldn't help but touch it.He was really reluctant to expose his delicate face to the public, but he was always locked in a cage for fear that the canary would die.

"You wait patiently for two more months. Cummins Broadcasting Company will establish a radio station in New York. Go to the radio station when you get bored!" Situ Nan said while reading the newspaper.

"Oh yeah!" Kuzdova was very happy when she heard it, and waved Situ Nan's face sweetly.

Situ Nan smiled and continued to read the financial news. Generally speaking, the U.S. economy is in a stage of adjustment and is relatively stable. It is not affected by political factors as frequent earthquakes as some time ago.

"I have something to discuss with you." Kuzdova said hesitantly.

"Say." After Situ Nan didn't lift up, he continued to read the newspaper.

"My brother has come to America. Can you see him?"

"Your brother?" Situ Nan remembered. Kuzdova seemed to be a nobleman of Tsarist Russia. She was defeated in the war. After arriving in the United States, she did not settle down. Then... met Situ Nan.

For so many years, Situ Nan seldom paid much attention to this woman, rarely inquired about her affairs, only knew that this woman spent a lot of money every year in Europe to find the whereabouts of his brother.

"Okay! Tell me about his situation. See what I can help." Situ Nan put down the newspaper and said.

Kuzdova's eyes lit up, and Situ Nan's attitude made her a little happy.

"My brother's name is Igor? Ivanovic? Sikorski, an aircraft engineer, has built aircraft for the country." Kuzdova said with pride.

"Igor? Ivanovic? Sikorsky?" Situ Nan felt that the name was a bit familiar, and he was an aircraft engineer. Could it be that guy?

Situ Nan thought excitedly.

"What does he want to do?" Situ Nan asked directly.

"He wants to build an airplane, but those people are not willing to support him, and now he is teaching in school." At this point, Kuzdova stared at Situ Nan, the meaning in her eyes was self-evident.

Situ Nan thought for a while, and felt that he should see that guy, who was also Kuzdova's brother after all.

"Does he know about us?" Situ Nan asked again.

"know."

"and then?"

"He said he wants to see you."

"For the plane or for you?"

"For me. But I hope you can help him!"

The next day, in the mansion on the Hudson River, Situ Nan met Kuzdova’s older brother, a tall and thin man with white skin, a bloody white with the usual British or Irish wine red in the United States. The skin is not the same, at first glance it seems to be from the ice and snow in the north.In Kuzdova, Situ Nan had already experienced this kind of jade skin.

"Are you Stoney? William?" Sikorski looked at the man who was sitting on the sofa before Shi Shiran, with surprise flashing in his gray eyes.He thought he was a Mediterranean man with a big belly in his 50s and 60s. He didn't expect to be so young and handsome.

He looked at Kuzdova aside reproachfully, not telling himself the other party's information in advance.Kuzdova stuck out her tongue and looked at her brother's surprised expression, somewhat proud.

"Yes. Please sit down." Situ Nan smiled, motioned Sikorski to sit down, and looked at him with a smile, with a confident look.

Sikorsky originally had a lot to say, but when he met Situ Nan's eyes that seemed to be able to read people's hearts, the words disappeared at the very end, and I didn't know what to say.

Do you accuse the other party of being a mistress?Well, it seems that their relationship was abnormal from the beginning.

Want them to separate?It seems unlikely.Judging by his attitude and demeanor, he should be a very powerful and powerful person, and he is just a small teacher, a man who fled to the United States after breaking his home.

Sikorsky didn't speak, and Situ Nan didn't speak either, just that the man in front of him had funny eyes, some unwilling, some angry, some helpless, and some regret.

Kuzdova saw that the two most important men did not speak, and looked at each other. The atmosphere was embarrassing, and her heart was a little nervous, for fear that they might conflict.

"Igor, don't you have some ideas about airplanes? Tell Stonney that he is very influential in this business." Kuzdova smiled and stirred up the topic.

"Yes. Kawat said many of your deeds, and I am also very interested in flying." Situ Nan smiled, "I heard that you used to make airplanes?"

Sikorsky was intrigued by Situ Nan's question."Yes, I made a four-engine bomber. It was the first four-engine bomber in the world. I also personally tested it. The result was good and it passed the acceptance of the military. Later, I also participated in the design of several aircraft. It’s just a pity that war broke out in the country, and my family also suffered misfortune."

Sikorsky said with emotion, thinking that he almost died in the chaos of the war, and now he is still afraid, especially now that the fierce civil war in Russia makes him see no hope of flying.After getting in touch with Kavat, he did not hesitate to come to the United States, the birthplace of the plane.

"How is the aviation development in Europe?" Situ Nan asked.

"It's worse. The Germans used to have good technology, but they are now severely restricted and the economy is not good. The same is true in France. Industrial production has been severely damaged and has not recovered.

The situation in the UK is better, but the speed of development is not as fast as that in the US.Dutchman Anthony?Fox performed well. He stole the Fox aircraft technology from Germany.

The Italians, except for their boastful talk, are not very good at getting started.Now only the United States has the best aircraft technology, especially the Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company in Los Angeles. They produced fighter jets and bombers in the war, and they were of good quality.It's just that in the past two years, I don't know how the development is going."

Sikorsky said that he was so cherished by the aviation industry of the major countries. Hearing his praise of the Cummins-Lincoln aircraft, Situ Nan couldn't help but smile.

What an obsession with airplanes!Situ Nan praised in his heart.

"Am I wrong?" Sikorski looked at Situ Nan dissatisfied, thinking that this guy was laughing at himself.

"No, it's all good." Situ Nan smiled, "What do you think of Cummins-Lincoln F1 fighter jets? Is it possible to continue to upgrade?"

"The performance of the F1 fighter is really good. I have seen it when I was working in France. But as far as I can see, it is not how good its design is. It is more because of its powerful engine performance, which is more powerful than ordinary engines. So It can take the lead in speed. But two or three years have passed. Although the F1 aircraft is the main model of the US military, it is now disarmament and technological advancement is rapid. In less than three to five years, it will become obsolete."

Sikorsky was right, which made Situ Nan very satisfied.Basically, he can be sure that this Sikorski is the father of the famous helicopter in the future, a famous figure in the history of airplanes.

There is no reason why such talents are too few. Don't let them go if you meet them, let alone are not relatives?

Situ Nan thought blackly.

"Mr. Sikorsky, it is true that I am an investor in Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company. Your performance just now made me think you are a very talented designer.

If you want, I can recommend you to Los Angeles to pursue your favorite airplane business."Situ Nan looked at Sikorsky sincerely.

When Kuzdova heard this, her face was beaming, and she motioned to her brother to agree.

But Sikorsky seemed to have other plans.He was a little surprised and happy at first, and then calmed down again, with a serious and serious expression.

He thought for a while, and slowly said: "It is indeed a very attractive opportunity. It is the dream of many designers to work in a large company like Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company. Unfortunately, I just agreed to a few friends to work together to fly planes. Company."

Sikorsky said with regret.There seemed to be a cold rejection in the faint tone.

Situ Nan felt that the other party seemed unwilling to accept his love, and smiled slightly, "That's fine. Talents like Mr. Sikorski will always be welcome."

Seeing that it was late, and remembering that he had an appointment, Situ Nan apologized and went out in the car, leaving Kuzdova and Sikorski in the room.
