The voice attracted everyone's attention, and the three of them turned around together.

A middle-aged general with a solid physique led a group of people over. His face was as clear as a carving of a master, his eyes were as sharp as thunder and lightning, and his every move was full of the majesty and momentum of the superior.

With the emergence of this group of people, it once again attracted the attention of a large number of media reporters. They are now surrounded by Northrop's Grumman booth, watching the every move of these people.

Although Chen Chen did not recognize the other person at first sight, he immediately understood when he saw Rosalind following him, Antonio Benedict Thomas and others.

Sure enough, Clarence and Victor quickly stepped forward and greeted each other: "It's a great honor for General Vincent to come.

This middle-aged general with a strong temperament is Rosalind's father, General Vincent, the US Assistant Secretary of the Air Force.

Vinson nodded and greeted the two, then walked into the booth and turned his attention to x48 parked there: "This is x48, right? I heard that the last test flight failed again? It has been improved now, right?"

"Yes, it's mainly improvements in aerodynamic layout." Clarence nodded and explained next to him: "After the improvement, it was conducted an inconsistent test flight, and the result was quite satisfactory."

"That's good." Vinson circled around x48, then walked back to everyone, and looked at Antonio and Benedict: "The Falcon's prototype has also been tested several times, and it seems that there are some problems, right?"

"Yes, there are some minor flaws!" Antonio and Benedict nodded, assured with confidence: "It will be solved soon."

"Anyway, you know the time I requested." Vinson breathed a relaxed sigh and his expression gradually calmed down: "The military requires that the first batch of assembly be completed at the beginning of next year. Considering that there is still a certain production time after the order, the time left for you is about three months. I hope to see the finished prototype as soon as possible."

This was the first time that the Falcon and x48 were displayed in front of the public. Therefore, after hearing the identity of such a phone, it immediately attracted the interest of the media around it. The flash kept on turning on and took pictures of the details of the prototype.

"Does General Vinson have no confidence in the Falcon?" At this time, Thomas Youyou, who was standing beside him, spoke.

"Oh, I almost forgot that Mr. Thomas was involved." Vinson chuckled and nodded: "It has been rumored that the outside world is full of controversy. It seems that Mr. Thomas has the intention to get involved in Lockheed?"

When talking about this, everyone present changed their faces, and all the media reporters surrounded him and put the microphone at Thomas: "Mr. Thomas heard that you want to be the fourth shareholder of Lockheed? Is this true?"

Some media reporters also targeted Antonio: "Mr. Antonio, as Chairman of Lockheed, what do you think about this? Does Lockheed accepting capital injections from Nordic consortiums mean that there are some problems with its financial situation, or do you intend to violate the Antitrust Act?"

Indeed, there have been many rumors in the media recently, and some even exposed shocking news that the Siertara Consortium intends to inject capital into Lockheed Thomas himself also hopes to hold a Lockheed board of directors, but everything is not finalized, so Lockheed himself has not come out to explain.

"The rumors are always groundless." Thomas nodded with a smile and made a reply without evading the violation: "In addition to the income dividends obtained by the Falcon Project, there is an additional one in the capital injection agreement. If the Falcon UAV wins the subsequent bid, I will officially become a member of the Lockheed shareholders' meeting."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed again, and this time, even Antonio and Benedict's faces looked a little bad.

Although this is a fact and there are many rumors outside, no matter what, everything has not become a foregone conclusion. As the party involved, Lockheed does not want this matter to be exposed to the public too.

As the representative of Siertara, Thomas should also understand the truth in the middle. He couldn't wait to expose this matter at this time of sensitivity. He could only say that he wanted to use this matter to show off himself, and he didn't care about the harm that might bring to Lockheed.

Of course, media reporters don’t care about these things, they just dig up heavy information.

At this moment, another reporter asked Thomas: "Mr. Thomas, as the details of the agreement, should still be kept confidential. Why did you choose to explain it at this time? This should not be in line with Lockheed's operating method."

"Indeed, this does not fit the way Lockheed operates. If everything is not final, it should not be revealed at this time." Thomas smiled relaxedly, with a full face of confidence: "But I think everything has actually been finalized, so there is nothing wrong with it."

"Everything has become a foregone conclusion?" This answer made everyone's eyes wide open in shock. At that moment, the reporter quickly asked again: "Is it understandable that Mr. Thomas believes that the Falcon's victory is a foregone conclusion, and you have made the decision, the fourth shareholder of Lockheed?"

This was originally for clichés, if it were an old fry like Antonio or Benedict, he wouldn't have been fooled.

But this aroused Thomas' passion and made him feel a sense of pride that no one else could be the vast world. A domineering spirit arose. He immediately replied without hesitation: "That's right! I think the Falcon will become the overlord of the air in the next twenty years. No drone can defeat it, so winning is a foregone conclusion. I'm sure the fourth shareholder of Lockheed!"

Hearing this, the reporters present were in an uproar, and the flash lights kept on flaming.

These reporters were already very happy. The news was so good that they had even thought of the title of the press release: "Sietala's domineering and Thomas is ambitious", "Lockheed's fourth shareholder throne is a foregone conclusion?", "The Falcon dominates the sky in the next twenty years?"

Compared to the excitement of the reporter, Vincent, Antonio, and Benedict were not so good-looking.

Vinson deliberately mentioned this matter implicitly in front of a group of reporters, with the original intention of helping Lockheed build momentum. If Thomas is smarter, he will just be vague and perfunctory, which will make a group of reporters unable to understand the real situation and can only guess based on his own imagination, which will achieve the purpose of hype.

Now, everything was shaken out, and even his underwear was taken off, so what's the mystery?

This guy who loves to show off, how much does he love to show off? He doesn't care about anything to show off?

After teasing Thomas enough, a group of reporters turned their eyes and pointed their targets at Grumman's side.

After learning about the existence of x48, everyone knew that this bid was actually a competition between Falcon and x48. Since Thomas had already made such a harsh statement, the so-called slap cannot be slapped, can we confuse Grumman again?

It would be better to attract the two companies to fight a verbal battle, which would be enough. If it wouldn't ignite the public's attention, the ratings and newspaper sales would naturally soar.

After making up his mind, a group of reporters immediately targeted Clarence: "Mr. Clarence, Lockheed's fourth shareholder declared that the Falcon was invincible and would win the military purchase if he said he would. What do you think about this statement?"

Hearing this question, Clarence wanted to go up and strangle the talkative reporter to death.

Isn't this a typical fear of not being in chaos? People just said "I'm going to do it", and you just said "Lockheed's fourth shareholder declared", isn't this intentional inducing both sides to fight?

However, the Clarences are not as impulsive as Thomas. They smiled faintly and replied modestly: "Lockheed and Boeing are very technical companies. Now they have received capital injection from the Siertara Consortium, which is even more powerful. We are facing huge competitive pressure, but we will do our best. In short, no matter which side wins, I believe that the strength of the US Air Force can be enhanced."

This was said without any leakage, making a group of reporters unable to pick out any thorns, and they immediately showed disappointed expressions.

But at this moment, a group of reporters suddenly discovered Chen Chen next to him, and suddenly thought of some possibilities. Hope immediately burned deep in their hearts and stepped forward to surround Chen Chen.

"Mr. Chen, as the head of the pioneer company, we were surprised that you appeared in this place." A group of reporters asked in a verbal question: "Mr. Chen appeared at the booth of Northrop" Grumman. He had seen chatting and laughing with Mr. Clarence before. Do the two companies have certain intentions to cooperate?"

As soon as these words came out, it was Vincent, Antonio, Benedict, Thomas and others' turn to change their faces.

I haven't noticed it before, but at this time I realized that Chen Chen is indeed standing with Clarence. If it's just a Northrop, Grumman is fine, but it's not the first time he's an opponent, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

But if Pioneer and Grumman stand together, things will not be fun.

With Nokia's huge financial resources and the strange technology of the pioneer company, it is not surprising that it will create anything, right?

Faced with everyone's attention, Chen Chen smiled relaxedly, and then slowly said: "I promised before that the Pioneer Company will never get involved in weapons manufacturing, and this will never change."

After these words, a group of reporters were immediately disappointed, while Vinson, Antonio, Benedict, Thomas and others breathed a sigh of relief.

However, a smart reporter sensitively discovered the problem in this sentence and asked again: "Mr. Chen promised a fortune and said he would not be involved in weapons manufacturing. We absolutely believe that the pioneer company can still use other methods to cooperate with Northrop. "Grumman, for example, to provide chips for the other party?"
