Bao Junyi was speechless, thinking back to his previous life, Blue Star, and how McDonnell Douglas would be acquired by Boeing in a few years.

The main reason was that the wrong R&D direction was chosen, which resulted in the company's funds being invested in the Sanfa bottomless pit project. Ultimately, the funds were exhausted and the company was acquired.

"You must have invited more than just us before, and they all refused, so you had no choice but to try with Miracle Group."

"After all, we have just entered the aviation industry and need to gain market proof if we want to break in."

"So that's why you invited me just now, right?"

At this time, John McDonald's face looked ugly. Bao Junyi had predicted all his thoughts.

Bao Junyi continued, "As far as I know, the three-engine DC-10 passenger aircraft developed by your McDonnell Douglas company has inherent design safety risks, such as a problem with the cargo door design, which could accidentally open during flight."

"Besides, the three-engine design is too complicated, and the maintenance cost is too high. You should give up."

John McDonald shook his head and smiled bitterly, "There's no way to give up. McDonnell Douglas has invested too much and there's no way to cut the losses now."

“And, I believe that with enough funding, we can achieve a breakthrough.”

"Otherwise, we at McDonnell Douglas wouldn't share it with others."

Bao Junyi knew that the reason why McDonnell Douglas went bankrupt was that it was acquired by Boeing and became its OEM factory.

The main reason is that the R&D direction is wrong and the wrong track has been chosen, resulting in a large amount of money being invested every year into a bottomless pit that cannot be filled at all, which is also the reason for its doomed decline.

"Mr. John McDonald, if it's another project or a new one, Miracle Group is very interested in participating."

"But if it's a three-engine, forget it. Besides, the technology level can't accomplish it."

John MacDonald said dejectedly: "Well, I hope we can have a chance to cooperate next time."

At this time, David Eric from Boeing and Henry Steve from Airbus had already discovered that John McDonald went to find Bao Junyi.

They knew the problem with McDonnell Douglas' three engines, and they also knew the purpose of his going to Bao Junyi. After all, they had all been looked for before.

Both of them hoped that Bao Junyi would agree to fall into this bottomless pit and reduce one opponent.

However, they were disappointed. When they saw John MacDonald's dejected face leaving, they knew that he had not agreed.

As time went by, civil aviation ended.

It was time for the fighter jets to be displayed, and the first one was the McDonnell Douglas F15 fighter.

Among them, the F15 fighter is the main fighter of the United States. It played an important role in the Vietnam War, demonstrated its superior performance on the battlefield, and experienced a lot of actual combat.

At this time, the host reported: The F15 fighter jet is a twin-engine, all-weather, highly maneuverable heavy fighter developed and produced by McDonnell Douglas Corporation in the United States in the 1970s.

The aircraft is 19.54 meters long, 5.72 meters high, has a wingspan of 13.55 meters, is equipped with two turbofan engines, has a range of 5,665 kilometers, and a maximum take-off weight of kilograms.

At the same time, a 20mm M61A1 six-barreled aircraft cannon is installed in the front of the fuselage, which can carry four air-to-air missiles or air-to-ground missiles, with a maximum external weapon load of kilograms.

The militaries of various countries present were very excited and kept a close eye on the F15 fighter jets, all eager to buy them to increase the strength of their own air forces.

The performance ended after completing difficult maneuvers such as single-plane vertical climb, 7 consecutive rolls, high angle of attack flight, and rolling somersaults.

This caused waves of surprise among the military enthusiasts and tourists below, and sometimes they even had dull expressions and opened their mouths wide as they looked at the fighter planes in the sky.

At this time, John McDonald said again: "Are you sure you don't want to consider cooperating with us at McDonnell Douglas?"

Bao Junyi shook his head and said, "Three engines are not enough. If you want to redesign and develop one, I'm very interested."

"If you think it over, you can contact me."

"After all, we are about the same age, and I believe we are on the same journey."

"good!"

Bao Junyi knew that John McDonald was also the second generation owner before, but after inheriting the family business, his personality began to change, and he wanted to expand the group to prove himself.

However, McDonnell Douglas was already in decline at that time, so its attempt to change everything through three engines led to an increasingly tight capital chain, which eventually dried up and was acquired by Boeing.

After all, McDonnell Douglas has a strong technical background, a large number of aviation technical talents, and experience in the research and development of various types of aircraft and fighter jets. If they cooperate, it will be very beneficial to the training of team talents and lay the foundation for the subsequent research and development of large transport aircraft.

Next up is Dassault Aviation, with its Mirage F-1 and Mirage 5 fighters.

In 1970, it was officially put into service in the FAR Air Force. It was developed for different missions such as air control, interception, and low-altitude ground attack. Its primary mission was all-weather high-altitude interception.

The Mirage F-1 fighter has a fuselage length of 15.40 meters, a wingspan of 8.50 meters, a height of 4.60 meters, a maximum take-off weight of 16,500 kilograms, and a powertrain...

The Mirage 5 fighter has a fuselage length of 16.2 meters, a wingspan of 8.42 meters, an empty weight of 7,260 kilograms, and a maximum take-off weight of 1,000...

The high-difficulty maneuvers included two planes flying forward and backward, four planes flying in unison, a diamond-shaped formation climbing up 90 degrees and then 360 degrees, and then doing a side flip and diving downward.

After the performance.

The Iraqi military procurement team found Dassault and said with a smile.

"Mr. William James, how much do these two fighter planes cost?"

"We in Iraq are considering purchasing a batch of new fighter jets to replace old equipment."
