Chapter 1158: unspeakable trouble

In addition to McDonnell Douglas still producing a lot of propeller aircraft, the DC10 produced by this company is actually a large passenger aircraft with the main engine placed on the tail in a whimsical way.

This does save one engine, so that the aircraft only needs to install two engines on the wings to take off a large airliner with a range and weight similar to that of a 747.

The 747 has four engines installed on the wings on both sides.

The promise of this three-engine design is good, with lower manufacturing costs and lower fuel consumption.

Even won the three-engine airliner developed by Lockheed, and Lockheed never produced other types of airliners.

But the reality slapped McDougall hard.

If there hadn't been an oil crisis, the price of oil would still be the same as it was in the 1960s, below $2 per barrel.

The competition between DC10 and 747 in the medium and long-range airliner is indeed possible.

However, as a result of the soaring oil price, the 747 and the DC10 have been hit hard, but the 747 has won the competition among large airliners in one fell swoop by virtue of its more passenger capacity.

Of course, even if Boyin won, life would not be good.

After all, the higher the oil price, the higher the ticket price.

Coupled with the reduction in income of Americans caused by inflation, the number of people traveling abroad has also decreased.

Compared with other manufacturers, Boyin's life is relatively better.

Now there is an opportunity to make McDonnell's life more difficult, and Boyin will certainly not let it go.

As for Pan Am, in addition to its main business of international flights, it is also because Pan Am bet on the 747 from the very beginning.

Before the 747 was officially put into production in 1966, 25 747s were ordered, and then only Boyin's aircraft were purchased.

The two giants and many collaborators made efforts at the same time, and the momentum was indeed great at the beginning, but companies such as McDonnell Douglas would not be caught without a fight.

So, after Boyin and the president of Pan Am met with Li Changheng, another propeller plane of a flour merchant flew to the United States.

The process of interception can only win a big victory.

Within a week, the DEA, FBI and the US military cooperated to intercept three medium-sized aircraft in a row.

Then a DC7 propeller plane appeared in Medellín's eyes through the operation of Moses.

This DC7 did not fly directly from Colombia to the United States, but flew to Mexico with 86 customers according to the normal flight route.

After landing, the airport dispatcher who was bribed intentionally made a wrong boarding time.

But the passengers did not board the plane, but 20 tons of flour were transported up.

Then the plane took off to the United States according to the scheduled route, and successfully crossed the border.

In the end, as if he was blessed by God, he landed on a state highway in Texas, which immediately made McDonnell feel miserable.

The production of this kind of aircraft has long been stopped, and it is basically used by small short-haul airlines.

But the media couldn't help ignoring this point, and focused on this kind of aircraft with a load of more than 30 tons.

While Boyin and Fanmei were ecstatic, they were also faintly afraid of Li Changheng's means and power.

But thinking that they are also Li Changheng's power, or friends, the two families are more at ease and focus on suppressing their competitors.

Soon, the news that a DC7, which was likely to be transporting flour, had to make an emergency landing on the highway instantly made the United States boil.

At the same time, it was like making Medellin die. From the files of DEA, FBI and other agencies, it appeared in the eyes of the people of the whole United States for the first time.

Originally, Cali would also be reported by the way, but after deliberation, Li Changheng decided to only expose Medellin.

Because of the way Pablo does things, the more people fight him, the stronger his fighting spirit.

Gilberto, on the other hand, is the kind of person who would immediately give in when the situation is wrong, which is not good for Li Changheng's future plans.

And if you continue to let Cali hide in the dark, you will have a chance to cause Cali and Medellin to fall out, at least it will be a face-to-face discord.

For a time, the sound of punishing and attacking Medellin filled the entire American society.

And this result has also caused huge differences in the newly established alliance of Medellin, Cali and other flour merchants.

Pablo likes to show off, and his outrageously ambitious personality may still be a secret in this day and age.

But to Li Changheng, it was no secret that Pablo was planning to participate in the state election at this time and that he had found a beautiful reporter.

The two brothers Gilberto and Miguel have always pursued the principle of making a fortune in a low-key way.

From a risk point of view, Gilberto is more sensible.

And this difference in the code of conduct quickly made the tension between Pablo and Gilberto that had just eased tense again.

If it weren't for Pablo's idea of ​​abandoning the plane cargo, there would be another successful example of transporting 20 tons of flour.

Let the many flour powers in Colombia, because interests unite around Pablo.

A falling out at this time is very unfavorable to Cali, and the two groups may part ways.

Moreover, Gilberto, who has a more forbearing and sinister personality, because of the incident in the oil field last time, made him realize that no matter how rich he is, he is just a shameless mouse in the eyes of the upper class in the United States.

In this case, simply push Medellin and Pablo to the front desk to shield the Cali group hiding in this alliance.

Li Changheng learned from Frank Moses that his goal of splitting Cali and Medellin had been achieved.

The mind is temporarily focused on how to expand the power and influence of the DEA.

Taking advantage of Boyin and Pan Am's continuous pressure on other competitors and urgent need for allies, DEA also took the opportunity to obtain more funds for expansion.

By the way, it also forced Pan Am to agree to the DEA's right to access customer data.

With this convenience, it will be much easier for the DEA to know who has left the country in the future.

There is even a group that directly joined Pan Am in secret, collecting all kinds of information while doing Pan Am's work in major airports in the United States and overseas.

And this power is not even available to the CIA at this time.

As for whether the Pan Am executives know that they have been infiltrated~lightnovelpub.net~ Wait for the DEA to help in the name of "reading" and get rid of a trade union leader who has been fighting against Pan Am.

Among the members of the DEA who entered Pan Am, several were soon promoted to junior directors of the airport's air crew.

After Banks knew this, he simply walked a tightrope again, using the name of "reading" to develop non-staff personnel among flight attendants and pilots.

Although it is not clear how much effect it will have at this time, it is hard to say in the future.

When this matter was reported to Li Changheng, Li Changheng immediately thought of scandal, assassination, intelligence and frame-up.

Then not only agreed to Banks' idea, but also let him simply cooperate with Frank Moses to establish two dark lines that only the two of them knew.

Usually these two lines do their own thing, and when necessary, they cooperate or one side covers the other.

After receiving these benefits, Li Changheng once again secretly guided other media and the public through HL Media.
