Chapter 449 Just Ask

Feng Biao returned to his room. Some things could only be discussed in private.

The person who came this time was someone Feng Biao didn't know. He was not the local guide who brought him from Tianjin, but a stranger who had never met him before and suddenly appeared today.

They knocked on the door at 9:30, not a second late. These people are very accurate with time.

"Mr. Feng, hello."

Feng Biao invited people into his room. The guest room was not big, and it was a standard double room. The area was quite large. After putting two single beds, two sofa chairs and a round table in it, it seemed quite spacious.

Feng Biao asked the mysterious visitor, whose name he did not know, to sit down. He was too lazy to say any more nonsense and chose to get straight to the point.

"I called Mr. Gao and he is willing to ask, but I can't guarantee whether he can get a result."

Feng Biao did not say the matter definite, but the visitor just wanted Feng Biao to express his attitude. Knowing that Gao Yi was willing to help, everything would be easy to talk about and handle.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Feng. Can I borrow your space to call Mr. Gao?"

The visitor smiled politely. Feng Biao thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

The visitor took out a mobile phone and dialed a number. After a moment, Gao Yi's voice rang out.

"Hello, Mr. Gao. I'm Huang Haisheng."

Feng Biao was startled.

Feng Biao had never met Huang Haisheng. Although they had acted together in Moscow last time, he and Gao Yi kept a safe distance, so he was unable to meet Huang Haisheng.

I didn’t expect that Huang Haisheng would come in person.

"Hello, Mr. Huang."

Gao Yi had to listen to what Huang Haisheng had to say first, so he simply said hello and then naturally called him Mr. Huang.

Huang Haisheng whispered, "Boss Gao, this is it. There are two projects, one is AIM-120. We just want to know the research progress over there. According to our understanding, their dual-pulse engine seems to have failed, but we don't have a particularly reliable source of information, so we can't be sure. We need a final word."

Gao Yi said with a bit of confusion: "I don't know what double pulse means. Can you explain it to me briefly?"

"Dual pulse... it's a two-stage rocket engine. It's a little hard to explain, but if you ask someone who knows what it means, they will definitely know."

Huang Haisheng's tone was very polite. He continued, "In fact, we are now 70% to 80% sure. We think the Americans are just bragging, but the problem is that we made it ourselves! However, some of our veterans in the military industry don't dare to believe it. I don't know if you can understand that they have been imitating and catching up for half their lives, and finally found that they are ahead of others. This is a good thing, but the lack of confirmation will make people feel uneasy."

Gao Yi did understand, because if someone told him now that he was the most powerful killer in the world, he himself would not believe it.

It takes some time to adapt to the sudden change from a follower to a leader.

"Is that all? Just asking?"

"Yes! We are also worried that it is a strategic deception by the Americans, but now the evidence collected from all sides shows that this should not be a deception. They really didn't figure it out, and they were just bragging before."

After finishing speaking, Huang Haisheng felt that Gao Yi might not quite understand the meaning of these words, so he continued: "This matter is entrusted by some veteran military workers to ask you. They just want to confirm it, so this matter is actually not a big deal. If it is convenient to ask, it is best. If it is not convenient to ask, then don't ask."

If asking is a general term, then this question covers a very wide range. Gao Yi went through untold hardships to obtain top-secret information, which can also be considered as asking.

So Huang Haisheng continued: "Of course, the consultation fee must be paid. Just tell us the amount. As long as it's not too excessive, we should be able to approve it."

"Okay, I'll ask about this later."

"The second thing is the design and research progress of the Su-57. We have definitely been tracking this kind of thing. To be honest, Sukhoi's technological progress is only of reference value to us now. It doesn't have much reference significance because our progress is faster than Russia's. Now it is Russia that is catching up with us. Therefore, through the real-time progress of the Su-57 project, we can have a more accurate understanding of their aviation industry."

Huang Haisheng explained in great detail. Although this would expose his intentions, these things were completely open secrets and there was no need to hide them. It was only because Gao Yi was an outsider that he needed to explain.

If you were dealing with an expert, there would be no need to explain so much.

Huang Haisheng was interested in Gao Yi's channels because the last time Gao Yi was able to directly purchase decades-old sonar fingerprints from the Soviet Union, it caused a great shock to the industry. So this time he hoped that Gao Yi could help provide circumstantial evidence to verify whether the information he had received before was true.

Everyone likes to do big things with little money, so if something like this happens again, of course people will think of Gao Yi.

Whether it is collecting public information or investigating secretly, it is better to let the KGB speak for themselves.

It's the same logic. A spy who sells intelligence to other countries is committing treason, but selling it to intelligence dealers is just a business.

Gao Yi also understood what he heard. He thought for a moment and said, "I can ask about the missile issue. I don't know if I can get the answer, but I definitely won't have to pay for it.

"No, no, I have to pay for my hard work." Gao Yi said politely, "I don't have to pay for this, and I can't pay for it, because once I pay, it will change the meaning and may even cause trouble. Since I don't have to pay, I will definitely not take your money."

The meaning is very clear, we don’t want money, we want favors.

Huang Haisheng said without hesitation: "I understand, I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Gao."

One is Mr. Gao and the other is Teacher Gao, the only difference is in the title, but the taste is very different. However, you can only taste this taste yourself. Those who can taste it are experts and will definitely do well.

Gao Yi figured out something. He laughed softly and said, "As for the Russian side, they have to pay, and I have to go through a middleman, so I can't tell you whether I can ask or how much money is needed. Also, since they have to pay, I will add a 30% commission according to the rules. Brothers should be clear about the accounts. I think it's better to talk about the money up front."

"That's exactly what we deserve. We feel bad for making Mr. Gao work so hard for nothing. We won't trouble Mr. Gao again in the future, haha."

Huang Haisheng laughed happily. Gao Yi exhaled and said, "Okay, then I'll ask first and contact you when I have the result. Contact you later."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Yi thought for a moment.

Regarding the issue of air-to-air missiles, Gao Yi felt that he could ask Xinfeng, but Xinfeng was obviously more action-oriented and his level was relatively low.

The resources in the United States are so abundant that Gao Yi has too many people to ask. There is also Glass who he can ask. He is from the Pentagon and is a professional who can help him with matters related to missiles.

But I still think it's a bit low level.

Forget it, just ask Panetta directly. We are in the honeymoon period now. This kind of thing does not require specific information. It is just a casual remark. It would be wrong for him not to say it.

The most important thing is that Panetta’s level is high enough. Only a high enough level can have the final say.

Even if it was just to save face for Feng Biao, Gao Yi had to do this thing beautifully.

He did what he said and called Panetta immediately after hanging up the phone, without wasting even a second.

No matter what the time difference is, Panetta has something important to do today, so he should get up.

When the call was connected, Panetta whispered, "What's the matter?"

Panetta's voice actually sounded a little nervous, which made Gao Yi feel nervous. He asked, "What's going on?"

Xinfeng did the job on his own. Gao Yi didn't know the progress. Panetta was afraid that something might go wrong, such as the evidence being false, so he was a little nervous and afraid to answer the phone, which made Gao Yi nervous as well.

"All the information has been received. What's the problem?"

Gao Yi was certain in his heart, and said, "No problem, uh... Sorry, I called just to ask, is the AIM-120 dual-pulse rocket engine real or fake? Has it been equipped?"

Gao Yi asked casually, but this kind of question is not asked casually. Panetta was silent for a moment and whispered: "Hmm? Why do you ask this?"

"Todai wanted to know, so they found me."

Gao Yi is very frank. He plays the role of a person who has no defenses against Panetta and is completely one of his own.

Panetta exhaled and said, "It has completely failed to stay in the conceptual stage. We know that the Thunderbolt over at Dongda has already used dual pulses. The Pentagon has proposed an AIM-260 project and is still applying for congressional funding. At this stage, all this is public information. They must know about it, but I can confirm the accuracy of this information."

This means that these information are public and can be checked by the whole world, but no one can guarantee whether these information are false information deliberately released by the United States. Panetta can confirm that they are true news, not smoke bombs.

This sentence is enough, and Panetta's value lies in this sentence.

Gao Yi whispered, "Thank you, just this sentence is enough. There is no money to be made from this sentence, but I can use this news as a good start for another deal."

Panetta whispered, "Hey man, let me give you a piece of advice. Don't take sides, okay?"

Don't completely stand on the side of the University of Tokyo. This is what Panetta asked Gao Yi. Otherwise, he will not be able to maintain the current good cooperative relationship with Gao Yi in the future.

Gao Yi smiled and said, "I am just a middleman. Why should a middleman take sides?"

"That's good. I'll get busy now."

Panetta hung up the phone and Gao Yi called Huang Haisheng again.

Huang Haisheng seemed a little surprised and hesitant when he answered the phone. He whispered, "Teacher Gao, is there anything else?"

"Well, after asking around, I learned that the dual pulse is fake and remains at the conceptual stage. This statement came from the highest level of Lao Cai, and its authenticity is guaranteed."

Huang Haisheng said in a trembling voice: "So fast... This is a bit too fast, sorry, please let me slow down, I will slow down for a while."
