Chapter 876: Petrov's Experience
"Our house was allocated by the company. If we serve the company for 15 years, the house will belong to us." Petrov came to Alexander's home.

"Has everything here been renovated before?" Petrov looked at the spacious living room with huge floor-to-ceiling windows. He could see that there was heating and air conditioning in the room.

Alexander nodded: "As long as you pass the induction training, you can get a house. My family is big, so the house I got is bigger, so my service period will be five years longer than others!"

Petrov looked at the oak wood floors and the bathtubs in each bathroom.

"People in some Eastern countries don't really like bathtubs. They prefer to take a bath in an outdoor bathroom. I'll take you there in winter. It's so cool."

"That's the school over there!"

"That's the bus stop over there!"

Petrov met Alexander's parents again, and they were already quite familiar with each other.

Petrov looked at the spacious bedroom and thought about the decoration of his own home, which he should have renovated, but he didn't have enough money.

For a pilot, long-distance travel is actually nothing, especially for an elite pilot like Petrov.

The next morning, Petrov went out for breakfast with Alexander.

Right at the entrance of the community, there are all kinds of breakfast, steamed buns, porridge, dumplings, soy milk, fried dough sticks, fried noodles, and tofu pudding.

"It's strange that I'm allergic to peanuts in our country, but I'm not allergic to peanuts in some Eastern countries." Alexander ordered a bowl of peanut porridge and spoke while eating.

The restaurant provides spoons and chopsticks for porridge. Alexander used chopsticks while Petrov used a spoon.

Petrov wasn't sure what he liked to eat, so he ordered a fried dough stick and a steamed bun.

Petrov's staple food used to be pasta. He rarely ate rice because Westerners generally did not know how to cook rice, and the rice they did cook was half-cooked.

Only two grown men came out to have breakfast, the others were still at home.

After breakfast, Alexander took Petrov to the nearby vegetable market.

I saw beef, mutton, seafood, fish, pork and many unfamiliar vegetables in the market.

In addition, there are finished products in the vegetable market.

Petrov looked at the freshly cooked chicken feet, pig feet and duck feet.

Then he looked at the place where meat was sold, where all kinds of offal were sold. And what Alexander said made Petrov a little surprised, as some offal were more expensive than meat.

Then the two took the bus to Wanjiafu Supermarket.

Looking at the dazzling array of goods in the supermarket, there are still many people.

It completely overturned Petrov's impression of certain Eastern countries.

Because there are not so many goods in the supermarkets in my country.

Our country used to implement a planned economy, and many things were planned.

Here, you can buy whatever you want, all kinds of wine, all kinds of cigarettes, all kinds of cosmetics, and a wide variety of toys.

Seeing these cosmetics, Petrov felt a little guilty towards his lover. If his lover came to this place, she would definitely be reluctant to leave.

There are also many children playing in the special children's playground, which makes Petrov very envious. If he works here, his children will probably be happy to come here.

At noon, he had a bowl of fried noodles in the supermarket. Petrov thought it was one of the most delicious things he had ever eaten. It contained meat, eggs and vegetables.

In the evening, Alexander invited Petrov to eat roast duck again.

He drank a little less at this time. To be honest, Petrov still wanted to drink, but he restrained himself when he thought that he would not be allowed to drink at work in the future.

On the third day, Alexander brought Petrov to his company.

The company's management was very happy. The technical level of Fei Xiong's pilots was of course beyond doubt. The only thing was that they had to restrict the pilots from exercising their skills freely.

Because these pilots fly civil aircraft just like they would fly fighter jets.

"Mr. Petrov, welcome to our company. The first thing we need to confirm is that we provide better and higher-quality services to our passengers. So during takeoff and landing, our first priority is safety, and our second priority is stability. If the passenger complaint rate is too high, the pilots will face point deductions and salary deductions!" The company's director first approached Petrov to discuss his future work.

Petrov nodded: "I will do as the company requires."

"Very good. The second point is that drinking is strictly prohibited while on duty. We will conduct alcohol tests on crew members while on duty." The supervisor spoke again.

"I will abide by the company rules."

"Before joining our company, you must first undergo training. During the training period, we sign a temporary employment contract. After completing all the training and passing the qualification, we can sign a formal employment contract."

"During the training period, we will pay you according to the basic salary."

"After you are successfully employed, if your children and spouse are willing to come to our country, we will make arrangements for them."

Hearing this, Petrov hesitated and said, "I still need to ask for leave from the base!"

"Of course."

Petrov asked for leave via long-distance call, but he didn't expect his leader to approve it directly without even asking why.

Because the leaders of the base are thinking about what else can be sold.

To put it bluntly, the guard guns in these bases only have a few bullets. If something really serious happens, they will be completely useless.

There is other fuel in the oil depot, and all that can be sold has been sold. Anyway, our relationship with the West is good now, so these planes will not take off.

As for the accounts reported to the higher authorities, we don’t know whether these planes took off or not. After all, a lot of expenses will be incurred after the planes take off.

When Petrov was conducting training, he discovered that there were also pilots from the Fat Goose family here, and after some conversation, they found that they knew each other.

Petrov was a little distracted: his country still had fat geese, and if these elite pilots left, who would fly the remaining fighters? Would it be those rookies?

The first thing is to learn Chinese, at least to be able to understand the tower’s commands, and then the flight procedures.

All preparations before C101 aircraft takeoff must be carried out in accordance with the operating manual.

Petrov threw himself into the training.

They started flying in simulators half a month later, and these elite pilots performed very well.

What made Petrov feel a little uncomfortable was quitting smoking and drinking.

Smoking and drinking are not allowed during work, so Petrov fell in love with a kind of lemon lollipop!

This is also the experience summarized by many pilots. There are not only lemon flavors, but also Coca-Cola flavors, mint flavors, black tea flavors, green tea flavors, sweet orange flavors, and mango flavors.

Moreover, Petrov found that some things he was allergic to in his own country were not allergic to them here. A month later, Petrov began to actually train on the plane.

"Wow!" When Petrov used fly-by-wire control for the first time, he couldn't help but exclaim because it was so easy.

You have to know that previous fighter jets not only had hinges, but also hydraulics, both of which required a lot of strength, so they placed very high demands on the pilot's physical fitness.

So in the past, the pilots would be exhausted after each flight.

The advantages of the fly-by-wire control system are simply too obvious, greatly improving the pilot's combat time.

This is like driving a car and driving a non-power-assisted tractor. You can drive a car for five or six hours, but driving a non-power-assisted tractor for two hours can make you exhausted.

After Liu Hai came back from Hainan, he also saw a number, that is, Fei Goose and Lao Erjia, a total of more than 60 elite pilots joined various airlines in our country this year.

There are also some ground staff, most of whom were sent to other countries after training.

At the same time, Liu Hai learned another piece of news, that is, the second brother asked us again whether we want to buy their various types of aircraft, from transport planes to fighter planes to bombers.

These include An-22, An-124, and even An-225, Il-76, and Il-78.

There is also White Swan and Backfire.

Because the second son's family really can't afford to maintain so many things, let alone maintenance, they can't even pay the employees' salaries.

It is said that the pilots have not been paid for two months.

The second brother tried to sell these to Europe, but was unanimously opposed by the bald eagle and the fat goose.

In addition, the Gallic Rooster and the Niu Niu are not interested in some things in the second brother's house because the two sides are not from the same system.

The most important thing is, if you buy the An-22 or An-124, where can you get after-sales service? Do you have to rely on the second one to provide after-sales service for you?
The industrial system in my second son’s home is in complete disarray. After buying these things, I can’t find any after-sales service.

So the second brother thought of the only country that needs these now, that is, some countries in the East. After all, the territories of some countries in the East are much larger than those of Niu Niu and Gaul Rooster.

The higher authorities are actually a bit overwhelmed by these things, because how to provide after-sales service after purchasing them!

Do we have to buy related after-sales parts from Fei Goose again?
Therefore, some countries in the East responded that they would not consider it for the time being because it would be inconvenient for after-sales service.

Fat Goose took the opportunity to lower the price to the second brother. Fat Goose planned to buy 5000 at a price of US$160 million per aircraft, and buy ten of them.

Of course the second one was unwilling. The original price of one aircraft was 1.6 million pounds, and 10 aircraft would cost 16 billion pounds, or more than 20 billion US dollars.

If you give me $3 million now, it's 4/ less.

The second brother replied directly and firmly, if you want to buy it, buy it. If not, I will tear it into pieces, recycle it, and sell it as scrap.

Gallic chicken, bull, and bald eagle took the opportunity to help Lao Er destroy these weapons and equipment, and give a certain amount of compensation.

The second one thinks he is a popular commodity, but in fact, the fat goose, Europe and the bald eagle do not want this guy in the middle to be too strong, which is not good for both parties.

Of course, the second brother is reluctant to destroy it, after all, it is worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Liu Hai knew that the time was not yet ripe. He had to wait until the Gallic Rooster, the Taurus, and the Bald Eagle had an economic dispute in South America. Then it would be much easier to talk.

Bald eagles and Europe are competing for various markets in South America.

Obviously Europe is better because it has cheap goods from some Eastern countries.

In addition, the dealers started to expand into South America more than 20 years ago.

Development of various resources, timber, iron ore, gold, copper, lithium!

Some countries in the East have also quietly reached out and established farms one after another.

The Bald Eagle also expressed Europe's tacit approval of the actions of certain countries in the East.

Because some countries in the East only enclosed land to build farms and had no influence in the financial or political fields.

The Fat Goose's economy has deteriorated again this year as crude oil prices have hit record lows.

On the one hand, the Persian and Babylonian kingdoms were producing oil crazily in order to pay off their debts.

On the other hand, many large oil fields have been discovered in some Eastern countries.

Fat Goose continued to want to build oil and gas pipelines with certain Eastern countries, but the last time oil prices rose, Fat Goose stopped the construction, so certain Eastern countries turned directly to Central Asia.

Even in Central Asia, some countries in the East are not in a hurry because the Babylonian Empire and the Persian Empire have debts to repay, and it will take several years.

Even the income of camels and other oil-producing countries has been affected. Camel oil-producing countries such as the United Arab Emirates and Qatar want to reduce production, but the Kingdom of Babylon and the Kingdom of Persia do not reduce production at all.

The two countries said that if anyone proposes to cut production again, they will support us with tens of billions of dollars first, as our two countries owe so much debt.

In September 1993, the Third Dangjia reached an aircraft carrier construction contract with Fat Goose, with the total contract amount reaching US$ million.

The third in command readily paid the money first and promised to deliver the MiG-29 carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier within four years.

When Liu Hai saw the news, he chuckled. In his previous life, the third in command bought an aircraft carrier for one dollar, and it took him many years to complete it.

I'm afraid the aircraft carrier will last longer in this space and time.

Because Fei Goose's family is really short of money. Historically, Fei Goose has made tens of billions of dollars just by selling Su-27 fighter jets. But this time, not only did it lose a potential buyer, it also lost an excellent fighter jet.

Besides, wanting to buy an aircraft carrier and all its carrier-based aircraft with just $600 million, isn't that just a daydream?
But the third in command thought he had picked up a great bargain.

However, for the elites in Fat Goose's family, a mere few hundred million dollars will be gone in a short time.

Liu Hai just laughed off the news. What he was more concerned about was this year's bid for the Olympic Games, which would be announced in a while.

Europe has accelerated its pace of integration, and finance ministers from various countries have held closed-door meetings one after another.

This makes the bald eagle feel very difficult, but the bald eagle has no good solution. The bald eagle can certainly counterattack Europe, but Europe can also counterattack the bald eagle.

The Bald Eagle Consortium has made large-scale investments in Europe, mainly in the Internet sector.

Europe is recognized as the center of the global Internet. The move made by Bald Eagle back then successfully made it independent of the global Internet. Bald Eagle's Internet now has only more than 1000 million users. This is mainly because Bald Eagle has a vast territory and a sparse population. Only the east and west coasts are densely populated. Internet operators in the Midwest simply do not have such a high cost to lay out the network.

On the contrary, Europe's Internet center, according to experts' predictions, will have nearly 500 million users by the end of this year. The comparison between the two figures will give you an idea.

Therefore, any proposal by Bald Eagle to counter Europe will be rejected in his country, because these consortiums are afraid that Europe will retaliate by imposing sanctions on European consortiums in terms of the Internet.

This is like Europe throwing a punch and the bald eagle wants to fight back, but is stopped by its own people, who tell it not to fight, not to fight, and that it will have to pay compensation if it does.
