Lin Chenran looked at Wang Shicun and Yao Zhicheng with a firm gaze and said, ”Our 077 Mechanical Military Factory will provide you with all the resources you need, including information, funds, and professional engineering talents.”

His voice was full of determination and confidence in the company’s development of the two helicopters.

”But I have a condition.” Lin Chenran’s eyes became sharp, as if they could penetrate people’s souls.

”You must go all out to ensure that these two helicopters can be successfully developed.”

Yao Zhicheng and Wang Shicun looked at each other and nodded at the same time, indicating that they were willing to accept the challenge.

They are well aware of the difficulty of the task, but they are motivated by seeing how advanced the two helicopters are.

……

When Lin Chenran revealed to Abdul of Saudi Arabia in the Camel area that his own 077 Mechanical Military Factory wanted to develop a Chinook heavy helicopter that imitated the Eagle Sauce and prepared a design drawing.

Abdul was instantly interested.

The Chinook heavy helicopter is an important weapon among the Eagle Sauce helicopters, and its position is crucial. Since the 50s, this helicopter has been in service for more than 30 years and is deeply favored by the Eagle Sauce military.

As the US military’s demand for military equipment continues to increase, the Chinook heavy helicopter has also undergone many design improvements.

These improvements have continuously improved the performance of this helicopter, making it an indispensable and important equipment in modern warfare.

Today, the Chinook heavy helicopter has become one of the iconic equipment of the United States Army, and its powerful transport capability and versatility are highly praised.

What is surprising is that Lin Chenran actually assured Abdul that their 077 Mechanical Military Factory could successfully imitate the Eagle Sauce’s Chinook heavy helicopter.

The news shocked Abdul.

But he did not rule out the possibility.

The previous cooperation with Lin Chenran has always been very smooth.

He didn’t believe that Lin Chenran would say such nonsense!

With curiosity and anticipation, Abdul decided to go to Yan Country in person to meet with Lin Chenran and discuss the cooperation in replicating the Chinook heavy helicopter.

He hopes to use this meeting to learn more details about the imitation plan and assess the feasibility of the cooperation.

So Abdul boarded the plane without hesitation and flew from Saudi Arabia in the Camel area to Yan State.

After a long flight, Abdul finally arrived in Yan State.

He rushed to the 077 Mechanical Arsenal without stopping, eager to meet Lin Chenran.

When the two met, Abdul couldn’t wait to ask about the 077 Mechanical Arsenal’s plan to copy the Chinook heavy helicopter.

He was full of anticipation and anxiety, hoping to get an answer as soon as possible.

Lin Chenran seemed very calm and composed.

He smiled and invited Abdul into his conference room, saying there was plenty of time to discuss the issue in detail.

”Abdul, take a rest first, you don’t have to rush.” ​​Lin Chenran smiled slightly, trying to ease Abdul’s tension.

Abdul was a little helpless, but he still followed Lin Chenran’s advice and sat down to rest for a while.

More haste less speed.

After a while, Lin Chenran felt that Abdul had almost recovered, so he began to introduce him formally.

”Abdul, this is Wang Shicun, the chief designer of the imitation Chinook heavy helicopter project of our 077 Machinery and Military Factory. Let Mr. Wang introduce you to him.” Lin Chenran stretched out his hand and pointed at Wang Shicun who was standing beside him. Abdul’s eyes lit up immediately after hearing Lin Chenran’s introduction. He did not expect that the 077 Machinery and Military Factory would invite such a powerful expert like Wang Shicun to be the chief designer of this imitation Chinook heavy helicopter project.

He is more confident about this cooperation.

Abdul stepped forward enthusiastically to shake his hand: ”King!!!”

Then Wang Shicun introduced to the Saudi representatives in the Camel area the project of replicating the Chinook heavy helicopter by his own 077 Machinery Military Factory, as well as the current progress of the project.

And displayed some preliminary research results and design drawings.

Abdul and other Saudi representatives in the Camel region listened attentively to Wang Shicun’s introduction, their eyes fixed on the simple design drawing of the Chinook heavy helicopter in front of them.

When they saw the appearance and performance parameters of the helicopter, excitement lit up their eyes.

”This is exactly the equipment we have always dreamed of!” Abdul said excitedly.

Other representatives also expressed their agreement.

They believe that this heavy helicopter will greatly enhance Saudi Arabia’s military capabilities and strategic position in the Camel region.

Especially when facing security threats and emergencies in the surrounding areas, such helicopters can respond quickly and take action.

”We very much look forward to working with you to jointly advance the development of this project,” Abdul said enthusiastically.

Lin Chenran responded with a smile: ”We very much welcome Saudi Arabia from Luotuo Region to participate in this project. We believe that through the efforts of both sides, satisfactory results can be achieved.”

077 Mechanical Arsenal needs funds!
In the Camel region, Saudi Arabia needs a number of Chinook heavy helicopters to maintain its own national security.

The two sides then had an in-depth discussion on further details of cooperation, including technical exchanges, personnel training, and production base construction.

Representatives of Saudi Arabia in the Camel region expressed their willingness to provide the necessary resources and support to ensure the smooth progress of the project.

In the initial stage, they will provide 077 million US dollars in research and development funds for the 1.5 Mechanical Military Factory. If financial support is still needed in the later stage, the Saudi Kingdom in the Camel Region is also willing to continue to support it.

In return, the 077 Mechanical Military Factory only needs to copy the Chinook heavy helicopter and sell it to the Saudi Arabian Kingdom in the Camel region, and also provide the other party with subsequent factory construction, technical support, etc.

During the discussion, both parties fully expressed their respective opinions and needs and finally reached a consensus.

This not only marks an important step in the cooperation between the 077 Machinery Arsenal and Saudi Arabia in the Camel Region, but also lays a solid foundation for future development.

When both parties signed the contract, Wang Shicun and Yao Zhicheng on the side were both shocked!

They never imagined that their own factory could so easily find a ”financial sponsor” to support their research and development.

Yao Zhicheng, in particular, was very surprised by the generous behavior of the Saudi Kingdom in the Camel area, because such a situation was almost impossible to happen in the Shenfei Military Factory.

In other words, it cannot be seen in the third-line military factories in the country.

Many of Yan’s third-line military factories are now half-dead.

The 077 Mechanical Military Factory is an ”alternative” in Yan Country.

After watching the Saudi representatives from the Camel area leave the 077 Mechanical Military Factory, Lin Chenran and others returned to the conference room.

Lin Chenran explained to Yao Zhicheng: ”Mr. Yao, the Osprey transport aircraft needs to be kept secret for the time being, and we cannot reach a cooperation with Saudi Arabia in the Camel region.”

He continued: ”The funding will certainly not be less than the Chinook heavy helicopter program, I can assure you of that.”
