"Is that so? That's great. Actually, I want to say that we can have afternoon tea in the factory." Marcel felt that the guest in front of him was very fond of him. He could feel the atmosphere of a science and engineering staff with the same attribute as him from the other party, that is, he is a technician, not those laymen. There are many things, and communication between experts will be smoother.

"To be honest, you and your team are really good in terms of design. You can fly out at a speed of 220 kilometers per hour with an air-cooled engine with not much horsepower. This shows that this aircraft has a very worthwhile study in its aerodynamic layout. It would be better if you use a night-cooled engine." Henkel said.

"The liquid-cooled engine has a more complex structure, a higher cost, and is easily damaged in combat. Of course, if you are building a racing machine in peacetime, there will be no problem using a liquid-cooled engine." Marcel thought for a while and said.

"You just said you were planning to equip this plane with a liquid-cooled engine?" Henkel asked.

"It's like that. After all, the cross-sectional area of ​​the air-cooled engine is too large, the resistance is too large, and the heat dissipation is not as good as liquid-cooled, so in the next fighter, we are planning to use a liquid-cooled engine and then replace the British victory engine. The output power of at least 400 horsepower can make this aircraft surpass various single-engine aircraft, including the J6 in performance." Marcel said.

"Is it okay to change the DB series engines produced by Daimler-Benz?" Henkel asked.

"Okay, there is no technical problem. After all, the size and performance of the two are actually very similar, but this requires additional money. And the quantity will be quite large because we need to redesign the engine bracket, fuel supply system and purchase the engine." Marcel fully demonstrated the savvy of a businessman at this moment.

"Money is not a problem." Henkel walked over and looked at the layout of the entire factory. "The question is, Mr. Marcel, do you still have enough ambition and perseverance to go further in the aviation industry?"

"Of course, if I only consider economic issues, I might close the factory in half a year," Marcel said.

"So are you capable?" Henkel asked.

"I don't understand what you mean." Henkel's question made Marcel feel very upset, but there was no way. The other party was the customer, and the customer was the same as God.

"I mean, if I order a fighter next time I come here, can you come up with a good enough design?" Henkel asked.

"It seems that you are not just working in a club." Marcel felt that the person in front of him was a little unfathomable. "The war is over, and France did not need fighter jets for a long time. Now, Germany and Austria are still sufficiently economically to develop and develop, and I am a French engineer." There was a little hostility in Marcel's words.

"It seems that some of your views are very close to Mr. Pasteur," Henkel said. (What? You ask who Pasteur is? Science has no borders, but scientists have a motherland, which is his famous saying.)

"So..." Marcel sighed. He could feel that his business might be ruined in the next moment, and even his aviation career would be over. What? You said that if the other party breaks the contract, then the deposit will not be collected? I went there. Judging from the situation on the other side, this German visitor obviously doesn't care about the deposit of tens of thousands of marks!

"Don't say death." Henkel stretched out a finger and shook it in front of the other person's eyes.

"First of all, the war is over," Henkel said. "The end of a war indicates a new beginning. We all know that a country's policies are not static, and there are no eternal enemies or friends between countries, only eternal interests."

"Whether you are willing to admit it or not, even if Germany will fight with other countries again in the future, Germany and France will not become enemies. Do you think so?" Henkel said.

"Yes, but this is just neutrality under the bayonet." Marcel sighed and said. "After the signing of the armistice treaty, we are unprepared for Germany." He did not say a word.

"However, we can be friends in the future." Henkel's next sentence surprised Marcel.

"Hate is hard to forget." Marcel frowned and said. As a person in history who would rather go to prison than cooperate with the Vichy government, Marcel's bones are quite hard!

"The Hundred Years' War in Britain and France, the Seven Years' War, the War between Emperor Napoleon and the British." Henkel said with a smile. "Look at the territory of France in the Napoleon era and the territory of France now, look at the Americas in the era of the Sun King, think about Quebec, Canada now. If you want to say who has caused the most harm to France in history, the British are probably well deserved?"

"We can understand your country's desire for Artsace and Lorraine, but by the way, I hope that your country can also remember the harm the British had caused to you, and most importantly, now Germany and France have the basis to be friends, and the British hostility towards you will not disappear because of the end of the war. Do you understand what I said?" Henkel said.

"However, we are just economic and trade exchanges with your country, just like we were importing coal mines in the Ruhr area of ​​your country before the war. Of course, oil may be added now." Marcel sighed and said.

"However, your country is just a medium-sized power."

"As a middle-class country, it has a huge colony that does not conform to the strength of other countries! There are more than 10 million square kilometers of colonies in Africa, Indochina in the Far East, and French Guiana in South America." Henkel said. "You are like a not strong man walking on a street with a lot of money. Do you understand what we mean?"

"No country in this world can face this threatening world without allies. The British Empire in its heyday cannot, nor the German Empire, and France seems to be even worse." Henkel said.

"However, France's security cannot count on its former enemies," Marcel said.

"Who are you counting on? Russia has collapsed, and the new Russian government in the future is out of place with the whole world. The British are your enemies, and the Americans are far from reaching it. France and Italy are not without conflicts in the Mediterranean and North Africa. Spain? They have chosen to give up as a great power. So, France really has no choice. Especially when we show our sincerity enough," Henkel said.
