Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Three - Borrowing a Knife to Kill
The Federal Bureau of Investigation, referred to as fbi, is an important intelligence agency in the United States. It was established on July 26, 1908. The fastest updated [] According to Section 533 of Article 28 of the United States Code, the Attorney General is authorized to "appoint officials to detect crimes against the United States."
, and other federal statutes give the FBI the authority and responsibility to investigate specific crimes.
The earliest modern large-scale intelligence police agency established in the United States, it is the main special agent investigation department under the U.S. Department of Justice.
Together with the CIA, the CIA is responsible for the national security and external control capabilities of the United States of America.
For everyone in the country, rich or poor, even civil servants in government departments, being visited by the FBI is not a pleasant thing.
Even so, the old Lockheed had no choice but to refuse the FBI's investigation unless he wanted to admit that he had liaisons with foreign countries and secretly received and received important military equipment.
This will definitely bring disaster to Lockheed.
To be more serious, the FBI has nothing to say politely. Perhaps for them, by bringing such a fat high-tech equipment R&D and production enterprise into their own pockets, their employees might be able to get good benefits at the end of the year.
Being questioned by the FBI with increasingly tricky questions, old Frodo Lockheed, the leader of Lockheed's generation, was quite annoyed.
The dignified head of an important arms supplier in the United States, who shoulders part of the national responsibilities, was treated unfairly. He suppressed his anger and said again: "No, no, this is impossible! I do this in the name of the Lockheed family.
I guarantee that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with our company."
The United States Air Force's deterrence is due to Lockheed Martin, but now it is being treated like this, which makes both him and Lockheed Martin feel very unfair.
The arrival of the FBI investigation team has given Lockheed Martin, which has been experiencing a lot of unrest recently, a feeling of distress as if the house was leaking and it was raining all night.
"Then how do you explain this? After comparison, the similarity is over 90%. [Fei is the fastest updated]"
Teleke Garcia, the leader of the FBI's special investigation team, adjusted the picture on the projector to a photo. When they came to this office, they directly commandeered the projection equipment here.
Although the photo is a bit blurry, it is undeniable that it is a twin-engine, twin-vertical tail jet fighter. It resembles one of Lockheed Martin's signature products, the F-22 "Raptor."
Frodo Lockheed argued in a disapproving tone: "What does that mean? It's just a fighter that looks very much like an F-22. Our company has sold many F-22s. [ ] But every one
They are all under the supervision of Congress and the military, and the procurement purchase orders and scrap orders are all in perfect harmony, making it almost impossible for them to be lost. Judging from the exposure of the 'Raptor', it is not impossible for others to imitate them."
So far, 188 F-22 Raptors have been produced, which is neither more nor less. The outline drawing produced by the FBI is just the shadow of a fighter that looks very much like the F-22.
Can't explain anything.
No matter how the treacherous and cunning Frodo Lockheed reacts later, he must first put all the responsibilities of Lockheed Martin aside.
However, his subtext has not yet been finished. The cost of imitating an F-22 Raptor fighter jet will not be much lower than developing a new F-22 Raptor, and may even cost more.
As long as the core technology is not leaked, trying to reverse it through reverse engineering is simply a fantasy.
The trouble Lockheed got into with the FBI today stemmed from a report by an IA agent in Afghanistan.
A fighter jet that resembled an F-22 Raptor attacked a large-scale illegal armed group in Takhar Province, causing very heavy casualties and losses.
The illegal armed force mistakenly believed that Americans were attacking them, so they launched many anti-aircraft missiles at the F-22 "Raptor" team following behind. Of course, the US military in Afghanistan that was attacked could not tolerate this unwarranted disaster.
, but launched a counterattack unceremoniously.
The counterattack eventually evolved into a one-sided massacre of local Afghan forces by the Americans, but that is another matter. Flying Updated fastest
After all, this is a unnecessary battle. As long as illegal armed forces do not attack, they have nothing to do with the US military.
But the feeling of being used as a gunman is not pleasant.
Especially the unidentified jet fighter immediately attracted IA's attention and at the same time roped in the FBI to conduct domestic investigations.
IA, who is in charge of overseas operations, investigated the targets of the war with this illegal armed group and found that the dragoon consortium that controlled the four northern provinces did not have the strength to provide jet fighters. He tightened his belt and bought four A-29 "super giants".
Three "Beak Birds" were also killed.
This can be proven by the information obtained from the Sierra Nevada Corporation in the United States. If you have a jet fighter similar to the F-22, why waste money on buying twelve "Super Tucanos".
The hidden truth involved in all aspects of the matter has been kept silent by insiders. Even the forces behind some agents are Americans, and the information obtained by ia is also quite limited.
Certain unspoken rules will never be challenged, and some things cannot be brought to the table, even for state machinery.
After hearing Old Lockheed's words, Team Leader Telek Garcia's tone remained unchanged. He knew very well that he had to be extremely careful when dealing with this old fox.
The person above specifically asked him to lead the team in charge of this ASE because they valued his rich experience and excellent psychological quality. He did not continue to ask questions, but used actions to represent his doubts and clicked on the remote control in his hand.
A colorful picture appeared on the projection cloth, a strange picture composed of cold and warm color outlines.
"This is an infrared spectrum captured by a satellite. After our technical comparison, we found that the infrared spectrum of the fighter's tail flame is almost exactly the same as that of the Raptor."
Every F-22 "Raptor" in service has been verified by the military bases where it is located, and there is no record of loss or disappearance, and there are at least ten certifiers.
Telek Garcia is trying to prove that Lockheed Martin has lost its F-22 Raptor fighter jets. This is a quite serious incident.
There are no problems with the F-22 "Raptor" fighter jets currently in service, so the conflicting questions point to the manufacturer Lockheed Martin.
The engine tail flame spectrum is similar to the characteristic sonar of a submarine. Different engines have different infrared spectrum characteristics. The brightest part in the picture is the unique infrared spectrum of the f119-p-100 vector propulsion engine, and
The unique spray angle of the binary vector spray tail.
So far, the F119-P-100 vector propulsion engine has only been used on the F-22 "Raptor".
Based on this logical inference of cause and effect, the only one that can have this kind of engine is the Raptor.
Teleke Garcia took out this picture just to prove this point.
"Hasn't the military lost the F119-P-100 vector propulsion engine recently?"
Frodo Lockheed curled his lips and saw the other party's intention.
What he said is tantamount to a slap in the face of the military. This is a non-public secret. If it is made known to the public, the military will definitely be criticized with very serious consequences.
Have you ever lost an engine? I am afraid that in addition to the US/military and Pratt & Whitney Group being the first and second insiders, I am afraid that Lockheed Martin is the third insider. For the supplier, it is basically
Can't hide it.
Anyway, this is not the first time that the engine has been lost.
"Okay, we also admit that serious incidents of lost engines did occur, but replacing engines is not an easy task. Mr. Lockheed, you are also a professional in this industry. Do you think someone would do it for something that cannot be copied?"
Engine to build a fighter jet specifically for?"
Telek Garcia is naturally aware of the news that came back from IA more than a year ago. Six F119-P-100 vector propulsion engines were stolen from a secret military base in Africa. The consequences were extremely serious, and even the person in charge of the base and the corresponding responsible person were
Everyone was beaten to the bottom.
The engine is not something that can be replaced casually. It also involves aerodynamics and the center of gravity design of the internal structure of the body. It is not an exaggeration to say that a single move affects the whole body.
Engine changes often force the aerodynamic layout of the fighter to change accordingly, and may even end up becoming a fighter with a completely different appearance.
"Can't you stretch your imagination a little further? Maybe someone actually did this, maybe it's a secret fighter developed by some country, and the infrared spectrum of the engine happens to be similar to that of the F119-P-100, or it was simply stolen.
We are a law-abiding manufacturer of those f119-p-100 engines."
Frodo Lockheed pointed at the picture and said.
Although he half agreed with the other party's opinion in his heart, developing a fighter jet is not an easy task. Even if someone is well-fed and able to do it, it is absolutely impossible, otherwise there would be no Lockheed.
Come on, just go somewhere cool and wait.
But he can't draw fire. If he is asked to close the factory for investigation by the FBI, I am afraid that Lockheed Martin's performance this year will be greatly affected, and those shareholders will never let him go.
"We are not watching a science fiction movie, okay? Mr. Frodo Lockheed! There are no truly law-abiding businessmen in this world. You and I should both understand this. Have you forgotten the factory that was just destroyed and the damaged F
-35 fighter jet?”
Telek Garcia couldn't help but feel angry at Old Lockheed's unwillingness to cooperate.
He was talking to the other party properly, but the other party was always doing Tai Chi. He couldn't help but remind the other party not to act stupid, because the FBI knew everything about Lockheed's production plant being retaliated by the French's death squads.
