Chapter 2545 Talks 1

"But even if you go, you may not meet this designer. He has already stated in the letter that he is planning to close the factory." The assistant said.

"It's very simple. You'll get 150,000 marks from the finance department and send a telegram to the gentleman, saying, "We're going to buy five racing machines from his company, and just like that, and tell him that we hope to get him to a maximum speed of more than 240 kilometers." Henkel said.

"This..." the assistant was stunned. He really didn't expect Henkel to solve the problem like this... SAE company was about to close, but before the closing, Marcel still wanted to deal with the planes that were built but no one wanted. The French government would no longer accept it, so it could only sell it to others. If Henkel issued an order at this time, then in order to meet the customer's requirements, Marcel would definitely transform the planes in his factory. When Henkel went to Toulouse, he just had to go directly to the factory to find people.

"You'll do it later, and in addition, pay Mr. Marcel half of the deposit first! That's it." Henkel said.

"This is not good, right?" said the assistant.

"Will I ask your highness why he wanted to invite this French designer?" Henkel asked with a smile.

"You won't." said the assistant.

"So why do you ask me why I do this?" Henkel said.

So, on the afternoon of the same day, Marcel received a telegram from Bavaria, which clearly stated that an Ordinary named Munich Aviation Club ordered a batch of racing machines from him, hoping to develop a racing machine based on the original SEA IV aircraft! What made Marcel overjoyed was that the club decided to directly call half of the payment for the goods as a deposit without reading the relevant aircraft technical documents! Such generous customers are really rare!

"They didn't even ask us any technical details, nor sent someone to see the prototype! This attitude is too irresponsible!" Marcel said to his partner Botez (Henry   potez).

"However, the attitude of the other party is not important to us. The most important thing is that we have money again. There are 5 complete machines and enough parts to assemble 10 aircraft in our warehouse. We can completely use this opportunity to clear out the inventory, and then produce racing machines or trainers in the future!" Botai said excitedly.

"Okay, what else can I say? Let's start work immediately. You can recall the workers and technicians and tell them that we will settle our wages on the same day. I will think about how this aircraft should be designed!" Marcel said.

So, the SEA aircraft manufacturing plant, which had not been in business for several months, reopened. One morning two days later, Henkel finally arrived at the entrance of SEA's factory in Toulouse. He also held a letter of introduction from the Munich Aviation Club.

"I hope you won't let me down, Mr. Marcel." After Henkel said that, he walked to the factory not far away!

"If the buyer can add another 50,000 marks, I can consider replacing him with a 350-horsepower V12 night-cooling engine and then re-made the nose. In this way, the speed should be up to standard." Marcel said at the SEA IV fighter whose nose was dismantled in front of him.

"It's not that troublesome. We are working on racing machines instead of fighters. So, the three machine guns on the nose can be removed, and then we will give it a better pneumatic nose. At the same time, we can also reduce the capacity of the fuel tank, which can reduce the weight. If we cut the wings a little shorter to reduce the resistance and reduce some connecting columns at the same time, the weight can be reduced. In this way, even if we use the original engine, there is no problem at all running at a speed of 240 kilometers per hour." said the assistant next to him.

"If this happens, I'm afraid the aircraft can only fly straight lines. And the take-off and landing performance is very bad." Marcel frowned and said. Although the assistant's advice perfectly solved the customer's speed requirements, in this way, the SEA     IV aircraft has become a racing aircraft, which abandons most of the elements of a fighter: high structural strength, (because the reduction of the support column between the two wings.) space to accommodate weapons and oil, as well as essential maneuverability. (Because the truncation of the wings, this will inevitably lead to an increase in the wing load and deteriorate horizontal maneuverability.)

"However, the client is God. We have no way to refuse God's request. And this is the most economical and easiest way to transform it at present," said the assistant.

"Weapon weight and fuel tank can be reduced, but the strength and area of ​​the wing structure cannot be reduced. I don't want to see my plane turn into a stupid duck with chondrosis!" said Marcel.

"That may be a problem with speed," the assistant said.

"It's okay, take out the SEA V-type aircraft nose we developed. It is prepared to distribute to the liquid-cooled engine. Now that we remove the weapon on the nose, we probably can put down this engine." Marcel thought for a while and said.

"So, is your meaning to increase the speed of the plane by focusing on drag reduction?" A sound full of energy came from the factory door. (What? Can Henkel speak French without a translator? Just think that he can speak French...)

"Who are you?" Marcel said in confusion at the tall man in formal clothes.

"I am your customer, I want to see the plane we ordered." Henkel said with a smile.

"Welcome to you." Looking at the merchant from Germany, Marcel walked up quickly. "Sorry, the factory is a little messy. If possible, can you wait a moment? We can go to my office to discuss this issue carefully."

"By the way, what do you call me?" Marcel asked.

"You can call me Henkel." Henkel said after thinking.

"This name sounds familiar." Marcel frowned. He remembered where he had heard of the name before, but he couldn't remember the specific information.

"It's normal. This name is very common in Germany." Henkel looked at the engine being renovated in the factory and then said: "Let's discuss this in the factory. After all, in the working environment, we will focus more on technology and reality. I usually just want to have afternoon tea or report on my work in the office."
