The shape of the aircraft that Pullman casually sketched on the notebook unexpectedly made Fang Lang discover the shadow of the American B2 stealth bomber in later generations.
At this moment, Fang Lang actually had a feeling of time and space confusion, which made him very suspicious whether the Borman in front of him was a reborn person like him.
Or maybe the designer of this plane is a time traveler.
Pollman did not raise his head to pay attention to Fang Lang's eyes, but continued to paint while saying:
“Because this aircraft was not mass-produced, not many people knew about it. But I was fortunate enough to have participated in the manufacturing of his test aircraft.
Unfortunately, at the end of the war, the authorities ordered the destruction of all technical data on flying wing research and all aircraft that had been produced.
Because the war ended so quickly, the data was destroyed. However, two prototypes fell into the hands of the Americans. "
At this moment, Fang Lang felt that the Pollmann in front of him was something of a know-it-all in the German aviation industry.
After hearing his explanation, Fang Lang finally understood why this thing looked so similar to the B2 bomber.
...
...
Maybe the American B2 bomber was developed based on this Go229!
Fang Lang thought that the secret that Pollman was talking about was this aircraft, so although he was surprised, he didn't feel that it was really a secret.
After all, I have seen his subsequent models.
Pollman also noticed that Fang Lang was not very surprised by the news.
He lowered his voice again and said:
"Do you know what secret this plane has?"
Unexpectedly, Portman kept it a secret.
Looking at his expression, Fang Lang remembered the characteristic of B2 - invisibility.
He couldn't help but stare, and suddenly sat up straight and said:
"Invisible?"
No way! Is this Go229 already able to be invisible?
This is half a century earlier than B2!
Has the Germans' black technology become so powerful?
When Portman heard Fang Lang's words, he was also stunned and said in disbelief:
"This...this...how did you know this? Not many people know this secret."
Seeing Portman's surprised expression, with his jaw almost dropping to the ground, Fang Lang smiled and did not explain too much.
Should I tell him that I know it from the future?
"Don't worry, I know a lot more. You know so much about these planes. It seems that you are familiar with the designers of these planes, right?"
Portman had not yet recovered from the shock of Fang Lang knowing this secret.
In fact, even Americans today do not know this secret. The United States treated the Go229 test aircraft as a long-range bomber when it was shipped back to the country.
Therefore, the Horton brothers, the designers of this aircraft, did not attract the attention of Americans, and eventually Rema Horton ended up in Argentina, where he was responsible for designing aircraft for Argentina.
Ultimately, due to Argentina's economic recession and weak industrial base, Rema Horton lost his place.
After a long while, Portman came back to his senses. After hearing Fang Lang's question, he quickly replied:
"Yes, sir. I'm very familiar with the German aviation designers, and I know who has the real stuff and who is a fraud.
But many excellent aircraft designers have been taken away by the United States and the Soviet Union. There are not many designers left now. "
"Very good, I am going to set up an aircraft manufacturing plant in Brazil, and now I need to start from scratch. I would like to hire you to manage this aircraft factory, or aircraft manufacturing company, for me.
I don’t know if you would like to.”
Fang Lang currently does not have a suitable candidate to build an aircraft manufacturing plant. Although Pollman is not an aircraft designer, he is engaged in aircraft manufacturing engineering management.
Such people are actually more suitable to manage aircraft manufacturing plants than designers.
Aircraft designers become chief engineers for each specialized aircraft model.
"Of course, sir. I'd love to. I've been out of work for months. If you don't mind my incompetence, I'd love to."
Portman's performance was totally unlike that of a qualified applicant, but after Fang Lang took a look at the situation in the house, he understood what was going on.
Apparently these people had a hard time after the war.
I found that Fang Lang was not a difficult boss to talk to.
Bormann mustered up the courage to speak:
"Sir, I have many colleagues who are now unemployed and living in a very difficult situation. I don't know..."
The meaning is obvious: he wants to find a job for his former colleague.
Since Fang Lang wanted to set up his own aircraft factory, he naturally hoped to have as many professionals as possible.
However, Fang Lang’s initial goal was not to directly become an advanced aircraft manufacturing company.
Moreover, he knew that many Nazis were fanatical racists, and he did not want to recruit such trash to his company in the future.
“Mr. Polman, I have no problem with you wanting to find a way out for your old colleague, but I want to make it clear to you.
First of all, my aircraft factory started from scratch. The plan was to convert the retired US military transport aircraft into passenger planes to train qualified workers.
Only then will they start designing and producing agricultural aircraft or two-seat trainer aircraft on their own.
From piston engine aircraft to jet engine aircraft.
Therefore, it may be difficult for people who join the company in the early stage to directly start the design and manufacturing of advanced aircraft.
You need to make that clear to them.”
Pollman looked at the young man in front of him with some surprise. This was a very pragmatic young man who did not want to build the world's most advanced aircraft factory in one step.
The factory's development route is planned very clearly and with a clear mind.
He is a boss with strong opinions and his own ideas.
This kind of person cannot be fooled easily, which made him unconsciously become cautious.
"I understand what you mean, boss. Don't worry! Now everyone wants to fill their stomachs and feed their families first.
There will be absolutely no radical ideas.”
No matter what Bormann said, Fang Lang actually had no good feelings towards the Nazis.
So Fang Lang directly said to Portman:
“Secondly, my factory is in Brazil, and there are many Brazilians and Chinese people in the factory. I know that many Germans nowadays are supporters of the Nazis.
He has strong racist ideas and discriminates against other races.
If there is such a person, I will ask him to be shot.
So, if you want to rescue some of your compatriots from the current quagmire in Germany, you also need to open your eyes.
Because you recruited the people, I assumed that you were the one who guaranteed them.
If these problems happen to them, you will also be implicated.
Do you get me?"
These words made Bormann lower his head. He knew that what Fang Lang said was true. There were indeed many people in Germany who were loyal supporters of the Nazis.
They only recognized fellow Aryans, and all other ethnic groups were inferior.
There is strong hostility towards such people.
There are also some kind people with good character.
As a former colleague, he knew full well that those people had excellent qualities;
And those people were indeed, as Fang Lang said, hopeless Nazi believers.
"Sir, I understand what you mean! I also know your selection criteria.
Is it true that character is more important than ability? "
After hearing Pollman's summary, Fang Lang laughed. He was really an interesting person.
The comprehension ability is very good, so I don’t have to worry about miscommunication in the future.
Portman noticed Fang Lang's smile and felt a little more relaxed. He continued to say to Fang Lang:
"Sir, if the person is qualified, what kind of person do you want?
I know a lot of talented people, do you have any specific targets you want to recruit?"
Fang Lang was in a very happy mood after hearing what Pollman said. If he could really secretly poach a group of outstanding talents from the fingers of the United States and the Soviet Union, Fang Lang would certainly be very happy.
Moreover, Fang Lang was very clear that there were actually many high-end talents hidden among the German people during this period.
In the field of aircraft research, there are many people who did not choose to abandon their homeland because of the recruitment of the United States and the Soviet Union.
It was not until a few years later, when the United States once again issued policies to restrict Germany's aircraft development, that many talents began to gradually flow to other countries.
“I own a government-supported military-industrial group in Brazil, although my current goal is simply to manufacture some simple aircraft.
But if our strength is sufficient, we will have the opportunity to receive research orders for military projects from the government.
In order for our company to have this potential, I think we need a talent pool of advanced aircraft designers and engine designers.
If you know any outstanding jet engine researchers, I can also promise to set up a dedicated research institute for them to study advanced jet engines.
Even more advanced rocket engine research talents are welcome.
I attach great importance to the research and development of new technologies. If necessary, I plan to use 15% of the aircraft company's annual profit to research new materials and new technologies.
I hope that in the future my aircraft company can become a global aircraft manufacturer, capable of producing military fighter jets and transport aircraft, as well as civilian passenger aircraft and transport aircraft.
Of course, in addition to the manufacturing of fixed-wing aircraft, I also hope to enter the helicopter manufacturing industry.
These are my personal expectations for aircraft manufacturing companies.
If we can really develop to that point, perhaps our company can become a veritable aviation giant.”
Hearing Fang Lang's bold words, Borman felt his whole body numb.
Looking at the young man in front of him was like looking at a monster.
This ideal sounds great, but it is basically an impossible task to achieve.
What he didn't know was that Fang Lang's target was the famous Boeing!
Polman was well aware of his abilities, and if it was just managing an aircraft production line he would have no problem doing it.
Or coordinating the installation of an experimental model was a piece of cake for Pollman.
But if he wants to develop the company to such a level, he certainly doesn't have the ability to do so.
This made him start to feel timid.
After all, he saw that the bodyguards following Fang Lang were all professional fighters. If this ambitious goal was not achieved by then.
If the boss in front of him gets angry and wants to shoot him, won’t he be doomed?
So he looked at Fang Lang carefully and said:
"Sir, this...if your goal is so ambitious, my ability may..."
Fang Lang was somewhat puzzled by Pollman's performance. Isn't it said that Europeans and Americans all think they are the best in the world and are very confident?
Why does this guy in front of me look so unconfident?
