Chapter 1158: unspeakable trouble

In addition to McDonnell Douglas is still producing many propeller aircraft, the DC10 produced by this company is a large passenger aircraft that puts the main engine on the tail in a whimsical way.

Doing so does save an engine, allowing the plane to only need two engines on the wings to take off a large airliner with a range similar to the weight of a 747.

The 747 has 4 engines installed on the wings on both sides.

The expectations for this three-engine design are good, with lower manufacturing costs and lower fuel consumption.

It even won the three-engine airliner developed by Roche, and Lockheed has never produced other types of airliners.

But reality hit McDonnell a heavy slap in the face.

If there was no oil crisis, oil prices would still be the same as in the 1960s, below $2 a barrel.

The DC10's competition on medium and long-range airliners is indeed likely to share the world with the 747.

However, the consequence of the skyrocketing oil price is that under the circumstance that both the 747 and the DC10 have suffered a huge blow, the 747 won the competition among the large passenger aircraft with more passenger capacity.

Of course, even if Bo Yin wins, life will not be good.

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

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

But compared to other manufacturers, the days of Boyin are relatively much better.

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

As for Pan Am, in addition to the main reason for international flights, but also because Pan Am bet on the 747 from the beginning.

When the 747 was not officially put into production in 1966, 25 747s were ordered, and then only Boyin 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 McDonnell Douglas and other companies will not be caught off guard.

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

The process of interception can only be a big victory.

In one week, the DEA, FBI and the US military cooperated to intercept three medium-sized planes in a row.

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

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

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

But the passengers didn't get on the plane, but 20 tons of flour were brought up.

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

In the end, as if he had been blessed by God, he landed on an intrastate highway in Texas, which immediately caused McDonnell to suffer.

Production of the plane has long since ceased and is largely used by small short-haul airlines.

But the unstoppable media ignored this and focused on the aircraft carrying more than 30 tons.

While Bo Yin and Pan Am were ecstatic, they were also faintly afraid of Li Changheng's means and energy.

But thinking that they are also a force on Li Changheng's side, or a friend, the two families are relieved to focus on suppressing their competitors.

Soon, the news that a DC7, which was likely to transport flour, landed on the road instantly made the United States boil.

At the same time, it also made Medellin die. From the files of DEA, FBI and other institutions, it first appeared in the eyes of the American people.

Originally, he would also report on Cali along the way, but Li Changheng thought about it and decided to expose only Medellin.

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

Gilberto, on the other hand, is the kind of person who will immediately counsel when the situation is not right, which is not good for Li Changheng's future plans.

And if you continue to let Cali hide in the dark, there will be a chance for Cali and Medellin to fall out, or at least face and heart discord.

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

As a result, the newly established alliance of Medellín, Cali and other flour merchants has been divided.

Pablo likes to be in the limelight, and the outrageous personality with great ambition may still be a secret in this era.

But to Li Changheng, it was no longer a secret that Pablo was planning to participate in the state council election and found a beautiful reporter.

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

From a risk perspective, Gilberto is wiser.

And this disagreement over the code of conduct quickly escalated tensions between Pablo and Gilberto that had just eased.

If it weren't for Pablo's idea of ​​ditching the idea of ​​shipping goods by plane, there is another successful example of transporting 20 tons of flour.

Let Colombia's many flour forces, because interests unite around Pablo.

The fallout at this time is very unfavorable for Cali, and the two groups may part ways.

In addition, 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, in the eyes of the upper echelons of the United States, he is just a blind mouse.

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

Li Changheng learned from Frank Moses that his purpose of splitting Cali and Medellin was achieved.

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

Taking advantage of the fact that Boyin and Pan Am were pressing other competitors and desperately needed allies, DEA also took the opportunity to get 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 is out of the country in the future.

A group even joined Pan Am directly and secretly, collecting various materials while doing Pan Am work in major airports in the United States and overseas.

And this power is not even available to the CIA at this time~lightnovelpub.net~ As for whether the top management of Pan Am know that they have been infiltrated, wait for the DEA to help in the name of 'reading' to get rid of the one who has been working with Pan Am. Right after the union leader.

Among the members of the DEA entering Pan Am, several were soon promoted to junior supervisors of the airport air crew.

After Banks knew about this, he simply walked a tightrope again, developing extrastaff among flight attendants and pilots in the name of "reading".

Although it does not seem to have much effect at this time, it is difficult to say in the future.

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

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

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

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