Chapter 141 Visit to the United States

"Lilith, why did you go back to the United States?" Muhammad asked.

"Grandpa is critically ill." Lilith said: "I have to go home to see him. I don't know if I can catch up with him to see him for the last time."

Lilith's words were a bit heavy, and Muhammad's heart sank when he heard it. The departure of a loved one is the saddest.

"Dear, why are you going to the United States too?" Lilith asked.

Going alone is of course the most important thing, but there are people everywhere on the plane, and Muhammad absolutely cannot say it, so he can only say: "I'm going on a trip."

"Dear, can you go home with me?" Lilith said: "In the past, grandpa was most worried about me, a crazy girl. Now, I want to let him see that he doesn't have to worry about me anymore."

Go to Lilith's home? Muhammad hesitated. He came to the United States to negotiate the Tomcat fighter as soon as possible. Going with Lilith would delay his trip, but... facing a dying old man, he couldn't refuse.

"Okay, Lilith." Muhammad said, "I promise you."

Mhammad's stomach suddenly stopped hurting. Lilith changed seats and sat next to Muhammad. She kept talking to Muhammad all the way until she fell asleep before getting off the plane.

"Mr. Muhammad, after we get off the plane, there will be people from Grumman to pick us up, as well as people from the US military. Look, Lilith?" Khalid asked Muhammad in a low voice when he saw that Lilith had fallen asleep.

A brigadier general's visit is also a major diplomatic event, because the content of this visit is to inspect the Tomcat fighter at Grumman, so the plane flew directly to New York, and at the airport, took a special car to the headquarters of Grumman.

Grumman is also a legendary company in the United States.

In 1929, Loning Aircraft Engineering Company was acquired, and company employees Leroy Grumman and Shuke Swabble decided to leave the company and founded Grumman Aircraft Engineering Company on Long Island.

From the beginning, Grumman has been closely linked to the US Navy. The company's first fighter was the Navy's F1F biplane fighter with retractable landing gear. Later, during World War II, Grumman's masterpiece, the F4F Wildcat, was the only carrier-based aircraft in the US Navy that could tie with the Zero fighter. The subsequent F6F Hellcat was a new model designed by Grumman specifically for the Zero fighter. It completely overwhelmed the Zero fighter in terms of flight indicators. In the late stage of World War II, the Zero fighter could no longer show off its power in the sky. During the entire World War II, two-thirds of the fighters lost by Japan were shot down by Grumman's fighters.

After World War II, Grumman lost to Douglas' F-4 fighter, and only returned to the US aircraft carrier after the development of the F-14 Tomcat. Now, this fighter is the main air superiority fighter of the US Navy.

In addition, the A-6 attack aircraft and the E-2 early warning aircraft are all masterpieces of Grumman. They even participated in the Apollo program. The lunar module was manufactured by Grumman, but unfortunately it failed in the space shuttle bidding.

Such a large company, the situation in the future is also very sad. In 1994, the company was on the verge of bankruptcy until it merged with Northrop Corporation and became a giant in the US arms industry again.

The F-14 Tomcat fighter is a masterpiece of Grumman, but they encountered troubles in finance.

After the F-14 fighter was finalized, the US Navy ordered 429 F-14A mass-produced aircraft from Grumman. In the contract, these mass-produced aircraft were sold at a fixed price. Within two years, with the continuous inflation, Grumman had to pay for each aircraft delivered. The US Navy got a great bargain and dragged it for several years before revising the contract.

Now, these F-14 fighters ordered by Iran have once again become a hot potato for Grumman. Countries that allow exports do not like these fighters. They prefer F-15, and the navy refuses to buy these fighters at the current price, at most giving a cabbage price.

Grumman also attaches great importance to the arrival of Pakistani visitors. In addition, in order to promote the friendship between the United States and Pakistan, the US military also sent representatives to the airport to welcome the Pakistani delegation.

Originally, everything was very smooth under Khalid's arrangement, but now, there is a girl of unknown origin next to Muhammad, and Khalid is more worried.

The airport welcome cannot be declined. Muhammad thought for a moment and said, "Take Lilith to attend their welcome ceremony. After the ceremony, you go to Grumman first. I will go to meet Lilith's family and will meet you in one day at most."

Just after getting off the plane, the protagonist of the expedition will disappear for a day. This is very impolite. Khalid frowned and agreed. The person next to him is a brigadier general, and he is just a secretary. He can only cooperate and cannot interfere.

Lilith slept soundly. Since she came to the distant Eastern world to chase that hero, Lilith has never slept so sweetly.

Her hand tightly grasped the person next to her, fearing that he would quietly leave in her sleep.

Mhammad looked at Lilith's youthful face and her blinking eyelashes. He knew that the oriental love in his heart was gradually fading away. This girl had entered his heart.

Although he traveled through time and space to become a Pakistani, Muhammad still had memories of his past life in his mind. He only liked oriental girls, reserved and shy yellow people. Muhammad used to be somewhat resistant to passionate and unrestrained Americans like Lilith.

"Dear, don't leave me." Because she slept very uncomfortably in the chair, Lilith moved a little and leaned her head on Muhammad's chest, muttering in her mouth.

"I won't leave." Muhammad said, stroking Lilith's long hair with his hand.

Lilith woke up slowly in her sleep, feeling Muhammad stroking her long hair, and her eyes were full of joy: "Dear, I want to be yours, I want to be yours now."

Lilith was passionate.

"Lilith, we are about to land." Muhammad said, "There are some important people down below to welcome us. As representatives of Pakistan, we have to maintain our image."

"Really? Someone from my family is here to welcome us." Lilith said, "Honey, will you go home with me?"

Mhammad shook his head, "Lilith, I need to socialize first, and then I will go with you."

"You lied to me and said you were here for a trip." Lilith pouted and pretended to be angry.

"I didn't lie to you. I really am here for a trip." Muhammad said, "It's just that while traveling, I do other things by the way, such as..."

As he said that, Muhammad's lips came up, and Lilith smiled like a flower.

"I'm going to change my clothes." Lilith said, "You are a great hero. As your woman, I have to be more beautiful. I've decided to go with you."

After that, Lilith walked towards the bathroom at the back.

She wore a long dress with suspenders, a fringe shawl, and her long golden hair was scattered behind her. The pendant on her chest was just the right decoration. When she came back, the passengers next to her kept looking at her. Her curvy figure and exquisite curves were the perfect fusion of an angel and a devil. Even Muhammad's eyes lit up.

"How is it? Didn't I embarrass you?" Lilith said, "You have to introduce me as your wife later."

Seeing Muhammad nodded, Khalid could only worry. When he got off the plane and found an opportunity, he had to report to Islamabad quickly. Who is this woman?

The wide-body Boeing-747 passenger plane flew lightly from a distance and slowly landed on the runway of New York International Airport. When the wheels touched the ground and began to taxi, the people on the ground who greeted her put their hands over their eyes and observed in the dazzling sunlight.

Pakistan sent a delegation to inspect, and the United States welcomed it, especially the leader of the delegation, Brigadier General Muhammad.

Don't know who Muhammad is? That's too old-fashioned, right? He is the most famous guerrilla commander in Afghanistan! The current Afghan Free Army was formed under his leadership.

What? Why is he Pakistani, not Afghan? Come on, this is a secret, only I know it, I'm telling you quietly, don't tell anyone else.

Among the welcoming crowd, there are representatives sent by Grumman, Pierre Walter, the company's vice president, and others, as well as representatives sent by the US military, Captain Bill Bruce of the Atlantic Fleet.

Although the Pakistani representatives only came to inspect Grumman's F-14 fighters, Congress did not give in at all. Pierre also knew that this was an opportunity. If he could seize it and sell the 80 Tomcats, the company would be relieved.

The military was polite. Now the United States and Pakistan are working closely together. Part of the funding for the F-16 fighter jets is from the United States. As for Bill's rank, there is nothing that can be done about it. Except in wartime, the U.S. Navy has never awarded the rank of brigadier general. After the generals of World War II retired, the Navy's sequence was either colonel or two-star general. It was not until 1985 that it began to be revised.

So, the only one who greeted Muhammad was Bill, who was a colonel. He was just a civilian in the fleet.

After the plane landed, the cabin door opened. The first thing that appeared was just a bunch of ordinary passengers. This was a civilian airliner, not a special plane.

They were waiting until a pair of people appeared at the cabin door. Suddenly, Pierre was stunned.

Looking down, Lilith was also stunned.
