Regarding this internal decision of the U.S. Department of Defense, many military strategists and historians in later generations have different opinions. Some people think that the U.S. Department of Defense should not have made such a hasty decision. In the end, it not only allowed Heiyun Group to make so much money, but also gave

They were granted permission to sell arms in the United States. This also paved the way for later international competition. It can be said that the military acted in a manner that supported the enemy.

Some experts also believe that due to the environment at that time and the situation faced by the U.S. military, Heiyun Group could only be asked to handle the matter. Other companies did not have the ability. As for Bao Zixuan making money, that was their ability. At least the military did not suffer a loss at that time, or even

To a certain extent, it has accelerated the modernization of the U.S. military.

However, these can only be the comments of future generations. At this time, Bao Zixuan, accompanied by General Ian Wright, came to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in the United States. The purpose of coming here was very simple and straightforward, which was to purchase retired American aircraft.

Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona, USA; it is also known as the "aircraft cemetery" because it houses retired US military aircraft and processes them for scrap. These aircraft are not entirely damaged. The aircraft cemetery has

Reserve the functions of these aircraft so that they can be reused when war comes.

To say that this Air Force base is famous, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base covers an area of ​​2,600 acres, where outdated aircraft worth 35 billion US dollars are stored there, and parts are provided for the latest models. Davis-Monthan

The Air Force base maintains a total of thousands of aircraft, some of which are only temporarily stored at the base during the intermission period, but more than 80% of the aircraft will eventually end their missions here. Davis-Monthan Air Force Base is also a "steel cemetery"

", 350,000 pieces of steel can be recycled if necessary.

At the same time, the air force base is also the location of the 309th Aviation Maintenance and Reconstruction Center of the US military, which is responsible for repairing and maintaining aircraft, and even allowing some of them to fly into the sky again. The aircraft's engines, ammunition, wiring, electronic instruments and some usable spare parts

All are recycled to reduce the cost of maintaining the current large aircraft fleet.

Bao Zixuan had been here in his previous life. At that time, the scale and number of stored aircraft were greater than at this time. But even now, the scene is already very shocking. This is the strength of the Americans. The number of aircraft stored here alone is estimated to be more than that of any other aircraft in the world except the Soviet Union.

The air force of any country in the world is no match.

In fact, this is not without purpose. After all, we are in the Cold War period. Weapons are being updated very quickly, and various experimental aircraft are emerging one after another.

Seeing General Ian Wright approaching, a colonel who was much older than him came over. What was very strange was that this old colonel had one arm that never moved, which was very inconsistent with military style.

It wasn't until they walked in that people discovered that one of the old man's arms was equipped with a prosthetic limb. This made people very curious. After all, disability is normal in the military, and death is also very common in serious cases. But under normal circumstances, people with disabilities must retire.

, especially when both arms are broken.

Seeing the old man coming, Ian Wright did not dare to act like a general. He took the lead in saluting a military salute and said: "Nice to see you here, Colonel Freiburg."

When I heard the name Bao Zixuan, I felt a little strange, because the name has a distinct German flavor. In fact, this is normal. After all, the United States is an immigrant, so it is not surprising to see people of German descent.

What many people cannot imagine is that World War II ended not long ago. It is still a bit awkward to have German officers in the U.S. military.

Colonel Freiburg returned a standard military salute and said: "Your Excellency, General, is welcome to come and inspect."

No matter how senior he is, General Ian Wright is still nominally his leader. People respect you, but you cannot rely on your seniority. Although seniority and age can play a certain role in the military, it mainly depends on position and military rank.

Ian Wright is a proper lieutenant general, and he is just a colonel. It can be said that the military ranks of the two are quite different. In front of outsiders, Colonel Freiburg has to give the other party enough face and respect.

Ian Wright knew the old man's character and did not struggle with the title or words. It was a matter of politeness to introduce Bao Zixuan to the old man. Only when they were familiar with each other could they discuss the specific work.

Ian Wright: "Mr. Bao; this is Colonel Freiburg, the person in charge of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base."

Then he said to Colonel Freiburg: "This is Mr. Bao Zixuan of the Black Cloud Group."

Although Colonel Freiburg's main job is at the air force base, he is by no means a stubborn old man who doesn't hear anything outside the window. Of course he knows about Heiyun Group and Bao Zixuan. After all, the richest man Bao is more famous in the United States than a movie star.

And yesterday, I received an order from the Ministry of National Defense to check the information of Heiyun Group and Bao Zixuan. I really didn’t know if I didn’t check it. I was shocked when I checked it.

Colonel Freiburg did not expect that this young man would achieve such success in just a few years. Not only did he earn huge wealth, he also made extraordinary achievements in science and technology.

He is simply a living legend, and has already reached the point of being published in a book.

Bao Zixuan did not dare to make excuses, so he stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, Colonel Freiburg. My name is Bao Zixuan. Nice to meet you."

Colonel Freiburg saluted with a military salute, then stretched out his hand and said: "I have heard of Mr. Bao's name a long time ago. When I saw him today, he was indeed a hero."

Ian Wright: "Colonel Freiburg is very familiar with the situation here. Let's ask him to give us a good introduction."

Colonel Freiburg is definitely a ruthless person. When he was young, he served as a pilot in the American B-29 bomber wing. During the battle against Japan, he was seriously injured, resulting in one arm being amputated.

The opinion of the top military officials was to retire from active service, but the old man insisted on staying in the army with his excellent military qualities and amazing perseverance. You must know that this is very rare, and the pain and difficulties experienced by outsiders are simply unimaginable.

Colonel Freiburg said very seriously: "Davis-Monthan Air Force Base was built in 1925. In 1927, after the aviator Lindbergh set the record for the first time to fly across the Atlantic Ocean, he flew the monoplane "Spirit of St. Louis" here.

Landed to dedicate Davis-Monthan Airport, the largest civilian airport in the United States at the time. During World War II, the airport served as a bomber combat training base."

"After the end of World War II, the airport was converted into an air force base. Since 1946, it has been responsible for the preservation of military aircraft. The B-29 bomber that the United States dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima - the "Enola-Gai"

, which is the first batch of "residents" after Davis-Monthan Air Force Base became an aircraft storage facility."

"Later, during the Korean War and the Vietnam War, this base was responsible for providing aircraft and spare parts."

"At the same time, the base is also a U.S. military aerospace repair and maintenance center. In the vast desert of the base, retired military aircraft and mothballed aircraft are stored. Because the climate here is warm and dry, the aircraft body corrodes very slowly."

"Each aircraft sent here has to be stripped of fragile parts and expensive instruments, and drained of the "blood of the aircraft" - all liquids such as fuel, hydraulic oil, windows, doors, hatches, etc. on the fuselage.

They are all sealed with protective materials, and the cockpit glass is tightly covered to prevent them from being exposed to the strong desert sunlight for a long time and causing aging and yellowing. However, the door in the belly of the aircraft is kept open as much as possible to avoid excessive pressure inside the aircraft."

"As long as the mission requires it, many aircraft can go directly to the battlefield after being maintained and maintained."

The old colonel's words were sonorous and powerful, and he was full of confidence. Although it was just a brief introduction, it made people's blood boil.

In the previous life, Bao Zixuan came here mainly for visits and tourism. The person in charge of the base would not come out to receive him in person, after all, he did not have the strength to alarm others.

General Ian Wright said with a smile: "Mr. Bao may not know that Colonel Freiburg only entered the base after the B-29 bomber aircraft moved in. At that time, he was a member of the B-29 bomber aircraft.

pilot."

Hearing this, Bao Zixuan felt a sense of awe for the old man in front of him. This had nothing to do with which country he was from, it was just recognition of his achievements.

As the first batch of B-29 bomber fighters moved into the base, Colonel Freiburg probably went to Hiroshima or Nagasaki. Although there is no way to verify it, it is almost certain.

Bao Zixuan said with respect: "Every soldier who bleeds, is injured, or sacrifices for the country is a hero. I am lucky enough to meet one today, and it is a worthwhile trip."

Colonel Freiburg did not expect that the rich man in front of him was not very old, but his words were very pleasant to listen to. It seems that success requires not only IQ, but also emotional intelligence.

After a few people exchanged pleasantries, Colonel Freiburg took them on a tour.
