When Colonel David Seed of the 1st Air Force Wing of the U.S. Air Force issued a challenge to Lin Mo for the Space Knight Space, Lockheed faced other big troubles before the U.S. Air Force could question him.
The trouble of cheating, or in other words, being caught and used as an excuse.
"Mr. Lockheed, if we submit this information to Boeing, what will they think?"
Major Mo, the attaché of the Chinese Embassy in the United States, waved a document in his hand at Frodo Lockheed in the Lockheed headquarters, an office belonging to the current head of Lockheed.
This document was delivered to the old Lockheed by a special person three days ago. It can be seen from the shocked and angry expression of the old man that he must have been shocked by the contents of this document.
"This is blackmail, naked blackmail."
Old Lockheed was livid at the moment and felt boundless anger. These damn Chinese people actually blackmailed Lockheed Martin.
It was simply intolerable, but there was nothing he could do.
Old Lockheed's livid face suddenly turned purple. He took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket, poured out two pills and drank it with water. It took him a while to slowly recover.
Major Mo, however, looked at the old Lockheed leisurely, and he still looked careless towards this elderly man.
It would be a big mistake to really regard this old man as a kind-hearted grandfather. Which consortium can rise without blood and darkness as stepping stones.
One of the top ten consortiums in the United States, the DuPont consortium once blew up an independent engineer in its gunpowder factory to ashes along with him and the factory. Lockheed has also done some immoral things in its growth.
"How about it, Mr. Frodo Lockheed, have you made up your mind?"
After the old Lockheed recovered a little, Major Mo continued to apply pressure with a smile.
If it weren't for this clever trick that Lin Mo came up with before leaving, the Chinese intelligence agency wouldn't have had such a good idea to blackmail the largest arms supplier in the United States. The opportunity was rare, and they would rather kill someone wrong than let it go.
"You guys, do you really have to do this? Don't you know the consequences?"
The old Lockheed seemed like an aging lion, unable to hide his old age.
"Mr. Lockheed doesn't need to worry about the consequences. That's our own business."
Major Mo ignored Old Lockheed's threats.
The information in his hand really grasped Lockheed's vitals.
For Lockheed Martin, this critical issue is caused by Boeing. Coincidentally, the Chinese have guessed it. Now the negative is a positive. If Boeing really wants to be more serious, Lockheed
You will definitely end up in a difficult situation.
It's not afraid of ten thousand, it's afraid of the worst. Lockheed is simply indefensible. Boeing is now like a mad dog with red eyes, biting whoever it catches.
Four of Boeing's sixth-generation fighter experimental aircraft were lost, and Lockheed's shadow was among them, or simply Lockheed's manipulation.
It's just that the final result was completely different from what Lockheed had imagined. They just wanted to cause a little trouble for Boeing, such as some system modules malfunctioning, etc., so that Boeing could appear in front of aviation experts around the world.
What a huge embarrassment, but I never thought about losing four experimental machines.
An inadvertent mistake by a Boeing software engineer and a mysterious change in a small Lockheed virus caused the "Adam" intelligent core system, which itself was extremely accidental, to suddenly lose control.
If it's missing, it's missing. It's not in the hands of Lockheed. If this document falls into the hands of Boeing, Boeing will never think so.
Stealing chicken but losing rice has become a true portrayal of Lockheed.
God's creation is not so easy to control. It is almost impossible to find out the problem by manual step-by-step comparison from unknown lines of code. No matter which party it is, it is almost impossible to find out the cause.
Neither Boeing nor Lockheed can see the true source code of the mutated "Adam".
"Haha, after all, this is what you Lockheed owes us, even if we don't have this document. As long as we reveal those previous things, I'm afraid you Lockheed won't be able to live with it either."
Major Mo looked like he was convinced of the opponent.
Lin Mo took the blame for someone in the United States, and the intelligence department owed him a favor. This favor was not easy to repay, so the American branch directly imitated Lei Feng and collected debts for Lin Mo for free. They wanted to know what Lin Mo was doing.
Lockheed's grievances are so easy that there is even a special file created for this purpose in China.
The intelligence department has its own unique way of repaying this favor. Even Lin Mo didn't expect that the intelligence department would help with this, and he didn't even know about it now.
It's really unexpected.
Connecting several unrelated things. After all, intelligence is all about reasoning and analysis. They just need to adapt it according to this principle, mess around with it, just tell the story, and concoct an analysis that frames Lockheed.
The report cites a large amount of evidence and is very credible.
These are all done by professional intelligence analysis experts, making it impossible for anyone to distinguish between true and false.
"Okay, okay, let me think about it for a few days."
The elder Lockheed finally made a difficult decision after three hours of dialogue.
He couldn't imagine what would happen if this document fell into the hands of Boeing. It was estimated that they would definitely suffer unbearable retaliation.
In terms of real strength, Boeing is not inferior to Lockheed in any way, or even stronger. In 2007 alone, Boeing's operating income was 1.55 times that of Lockheed.
The top boss of Lockheed Martin is a California consortium, ranking ninth among the top ten consortiums in the United States, while the controlling boss of Boeing is the Huā Banner Consortium, the third largest consortium in the United States.
If a quarrel really breaks out, the Lockheed family will really run into big trouble, or even be forcibly split up. That would be a disaster.
The old Lockheed had to think carefully.
Originally, the same blackmail coming from Lin Mo's mouth might not be taken seriously by the old Lockheed.
Compared with a behemoth like Lockheed, an ace pilot is just a small person with no influence or threat.
But with the Chinese intelligence agency coming so blatantly to the door, Lockheed couldn't just ignore Lin Mo. The other party was a national agency and a real behemoth.
He never thought that a national intelligence agency would come here specifically to exploit an insignificant pilot. This was simply unbelievable and even completely unreasonable.
Unreasonable, shouldn't be, unnecessary, puzzling, unreasonable...
Old Lockheed would never have thought that this was actually a smooth-running operation by the intelligence agency to return a favor to someone.
"We have to get a reply within 24 hours, otherwise a copy of this document will appear on the President's desk in the White House, in the hands of all members of Congress, in the hands of the Pentagon, and in the hands of Boeing executives."
Major Mo was completely confident, and Lockheed's resignation was already expected.
The Chinese intelligence agency is not even afraid of the CIA knowing about it, but Lockheed has to take the initiative to conceal it for them. This document cannot fall into the hands of the CIA, otherwise the situation will be even worse.
The "Fenrir" alloy was stolen, the F-22 "Raptor" appeared in Afghanistan and bombed the US proxy forces in the Middle East. Special forces were dispatched to cause chaos in Paris, which attracted violent retaliation from the French Foreign Legion. Locke, who was already in trouble, Sid watched as this document, which was like adding fuel to the fire, was in the hands of the Chinese.
Lockheed's top brass all feel as if they are sitting on pins and needles and being grilled over a fire.
Because of this, the Chinese intelligence agency was determined to seize Lockheed.
an/apg-81 active electrically scanned phased array radar (aesa) and electro-optical distributed aperture system (eodas), as well as the additional conditions that the Chinese intelligence agency conveniently gave Lin Mo, Lockheed's self-produced electro-optical targeting system (eots) ), Lockheed will really feel pain if this blackmail is taken away.
Of course there are two sets, one set will be handed over to the country for technical reverse engineering, and the other set will be given to Lin Mo as a favor.
Anyway, there has been a precedent before. This is the only company in the country that can privately retain complete sets of F-22 engines.
"OK!"
Old Lockheed looked helplessly at the document on his desk that was exactly the same as the other party's hand.
Watching Major Mo, the embassy attaché, and others leave, Old Lockheed took a few long breaths. After thinking for a long time, he finally picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Laboratory 41, Carter, this is Frodo. Yes, do me a favor and keep it confidential. The content of the call can only be recorded in your mind and no record can be made. Otherwise, you and I will not end well. Listen. Wait, help me intercept two sets of aesa (an/apg-81 active electrically scanned phased array radar), eodas (electronic distributed aperture system) and eots (electronic aiming system), intercept them in the name of scrapping, use some discarded damaged ones If you want to pretend to be an explosion or other accident, don't ask any questions, pack it for me, don't let others see it, disguise it as other products, I will tell you where to send it later."
Having to bow to the Chinese intelligence agency, Lockheed could only agree. It was not an easy task to intercept these special equipment, and a lot of work needed to be done to avoid being discovered by the military.
Although I don’t know if the Chinese will destroy this document, their credit is still reliable. Old Lockheed can only take a gamble. He has no retreat, and Lockheed has no retreat. This document must not let Boeing And people at the Pentagon saw it.
After this matter was over, it was time to retire. After putting down the phone, Old Lockheed slumped on the executive chair, exhausted both physically and mentally, looking blankly at the ceiling.
Chapter completed!
