Walden shrugged. He had already come up with a plan; whether or not to implement it depended on Fang Zhenhua's opinion.

However, based on Walden's understanding of Fang Zhenhua, he believed that the man would definitely make a move immediately given such an opportunity.

It wasn't just because he valued the information on the F110 engine, but also because, in Walden's understanding, Fang Zhenhua was a very decisive person.

Such a decisive person would not let this opportunity slip away easily.

As expected, Fang Zhenhua, who was currently in Ottoman, immediately agreed after receiving Yuri's call.

This might be the only chance to drag Jack Welch into this mess, so Fang Zhenhua will never let this opportunity slip away easily.

After obtaining Fang Zhenhua's consent, William Walden took action.

Walden did not assign this task to the suicide squad; instead, he had Raymond, who had returned to the United States, handle it.

It's not just because Lei Keming and his group are more trustworthy, but also because they are very familiar with doing these things.

Jack Welch's son is named Peter Welch, who inherited none of his father's good genes and is instead a notorious playboy.

Of course, this may also be related to Jack Welch himself, after all, the old man was quite cunning.

Peter Welch's mother was Jack Welch's first wife, and they had four children together.

However, they divorced in 1987.

Because of his incredibly powerful father, Peter Welch, that bastard, has always been very close to him.

Despite his cunning, Peter Welch knew how to please his father, Jack Welch. As a result, Peter was always a dutiful son and was always well-liked by his father.

After being captured, Peter Welch underwent some of Raymond's tactics and was soon unable to withstand them.

At this moment, he had no intention of resisting and betrayed his father without hesitation.

Following Walden's advice, Peter Welch began inviting his father to go fishing in the Great Lakes.

It was the best fishing season in the Great Lakes, and to be honest, Jack Welch was tempted when his beloved son invited him to go fishing.

He had been feeling a bit tired lately, so he decided to put aside his work and enjoy some quality time with his son.

But Jack Welch never knew that once he took that step, there would be no turning back.

Chapter 108 Jack Welch Anyway

Amelika, Great Lakes region.

Lake Ontario is one of the Great Lakes of North America and a mecca for anglers, boasting abundant fish resources. Here, you can catch salmon, trout, and bass.

It's autumn now, the prime time for salmon and trout fishing.

As the CEO of General Electric, Jack Welch, this fisherman, was different from the ordinary fisherman.

He boarded the yacht his son had carefully prepared for him, and then used the high-end fishing rod his son had provided.

Welch's bodyguards were supposed to board the yacht, but Peter sternly refused. In Peter Welch's words, in the Great Lakes region, who would dare to openly harm his father?

Or is it that he, as the son, would do something detrimental to his father?

At that moment, Jack Welch could not have imagined that his beloved son would have such ill intentions towards him.

So, to avoid disturbing the mood of himself and his son, Jack Welch made a choice: he had all his bodyguards stay on shore while he and his son boarded a yacht and cruised on Lake Ontario.

This fishing trip allowed Jack Welch to experience a long-lost sense of relaxation. He completely cleared his mind, stopped thinking about work, and allowed himself to enjoy a happy time.

Peter Welch's yacht is large enough to not only accommodate fishing but also provide a place to relax.

So Peter said to his father.

"Daddy, you can fish slowly on the yacht, even until nightfall, don't worry. We'll sleep on the yacht, and I'll cook you a dinner with the fish you catch."

Jack Welch was naturally very pleased with his son's filial piety.

This is something that is common to both Easterners and Westerners.

Every parent hopes to have a good son.

But as darkness fell and a curtain of darkness enveloped Lake Ontario, everything changed.

At this moment, only Peter Welch's yacht remained, lying alone on the surface of Lake Ontario.

The yacht, with its lights on, was still somewhat eye-catching on the dark lake.

It was at this moment that Lei Keming led his team of special forces soldiers, donned frogman swimsuits, plunged into the lake, and slowly made their way towards the yacht.

The black swimsuit was completely hidden in the darkness.

After finishing his fishing trip, Jack Welch was enjoying a meal prepared by his son in the cabin.

Lei Keming and his group climbed onto the yacht and then went into the cabin.

Special forces soldiers, rifles in hand, surrounded the entire cabin, and Lei Keming shouted loudly in English.

"You all better behave yourselves, or I can't guarantee that the gun in my hand will go off accidentally."

Jack Welch was enjoying his meal when the sudden turn of events caused him to drop his fork to the ground.

Upon seeing the group of men in black, Jack Welch knew he had been kidnapped, but as expected of the CEO of General Electric, he quickly regained his composure.

He said to Lei Keming.

"If you have any problems, come at me. Leave my son alone."

"Mr. Welch, do you think things are that simple? Let your son go and then let him call the police? Or are we that stupid?"

"My son is innocent, please do not harm him in any way."

"Don't worry, Mr. Welch, we won't do anything to you and your son. As long as you stay with us safely, we can guarantee your safety."

Peter Welch also plays a very important role, so it's natural that we can't let him be exposed at this time.

Jack Welch didn't say much, and his gaze towards Lei Keming was very indifferent.

After being hooded, Jack Welch remained silent, at which point two speedboats arrived at the yacht.

The Welch father and son boarded a speedboat and were taken to William Walden's secret base under the cover of night.

When Welch's hood was removed, the sudden bright lights made his eyes feel very uncomfortable.

He then found himself sitting in a chair, and even his clothes had been changed into a very peculiar outfit.

Jack Welch was no stranger to this outfit, as he had seen it on many Eastern leaders.

Welch looked down and noticed a distinctive badge on his shirt. He knew the badge's symbol all too well.

At that moment, Yuri and William Walden appeared in front of him, and Welch immediately asked.

"Who are you people, and what do you want?"

Yuri immediately said.

"Mr. Welch, please rest assured that we will not do anything to harm you. However, I would like to ask you for a favor."

"What's the deal?"

"Our boss is very interested in your company's F110 engine. He is very curious about the information on this engine, so we hope that Mr. Welch can satisfy our boss's curiosity and provide us with the engine information, okay?"

In other words, Welch doesn't speak Northeastern Mandarin, otherwise he would definitely have blurted out that phrase.

Damn it, just because you're interested in the F110 engine, does that mean I have to provide you with the engine's specifications?

What does the F110 engine mean?

This is the heart of the F-15 fighter jet; this is treason.

"impossible."

"Why are you wasting your breath talking to him? Just go for it!"

Ever since Fang Zhenhua gave him a beating, Walden has become extremely attentive to such matters.

Damn it, he swore he couldn't be the only one enjoying this kind of treatment.

"What...what do you want to do?"

Lei Keming nudged Welch from behind, instantly making Welch straight up, but unable to move.

Then, under these circumstances, a national flag was shoved into his hand, and he immediately started taking a series of photos.

Yuri said at that moment.

"Mr. Welch, CEO of General Electric, what do you think would happen if these photos were leaked?"

Welch sneered.

"Do you think this situation can threaten me? I can simply tell the public that I was coerced."

"Really? I forgot to introduce you. This gentleman next to me is William Walden, the CIA's East Asia director. If you say he can testify, would people believe you're an Eastern spy?"

Welch's face changed instantly, turning extremely pale.

"Mr. Welch, I hope you will cooperate with us to do one more thing: recite a passage from the oath of joining the Party."

"Wha...what oath?"

"What do you think? I believe that someone as smart as Mr. Welch wouldn't be unaware of this! Of course, if Mr. Welch doesn't cooperate, come on! Chop off one of his son's hands first."

As he spoke, Peter Welch was brought over. Looking at his son's pitiful state, and then at the knife raised high in the air.

Jack Welch, that old fox, couldn't hold on any longer.

"No, I'll read it."

Chapter 109 Returning Home, the Old Man

As the saying goes, "One trick is all you need to succeed."

As long as the old tricks are effective, that's fine. With Yuri's series of actions, coupled with the threat from Peter Welch, the situation is as follows.

Jack Welch eventually gave in.

He honestly recited the oath of joining the Party and also agreed to provide all the information about F110.

As CEO of General Electric, Jack Welch was of a higher rank than John Douglas, and the F110 was just something he could easily do.

As one of the world's three major aero-engine giants, GE's technology is enough to make China very wealthy.

With the addition of technology from the Russians in the north, my country's most troublesome aero-engine field will usher in rapid development.

Lei Keming and his group didn't expect that they would have to go back so soon after arriving in the United States.

But for them, doing these things is a voluntary act, because they are making a huge contribution to the country.

Whether it's the F-15, McDonnell Douglas's technology, or even the data on the F110 engine, these have provided unparalleled assistance to my country's technological development.

Lei Keming and the others did these things truly willingly.

Yuri also informed Fang Zhenhua of all the news about Jack Welch, including the F110.

Fang Zhenhua was naturally extremely satisfied with this, and when he reported the plan back to China, it caused a huge stir in the relevant industries.

Both Institute 601 and Institute 611 wanted to acquire this information, but because Institute 601 had absorbed too much technology from the North, they no longer had the resources to deal with this American technology.

Therefore, the data for F15 and F110 were sent to Institute 611, which happened to be working on an important project, namely Project No. 611.

Just as China's military technology was on a fast track of development, a major event occurred in the Middle East.

This incident directly led to Fang Zhenhua being recalled to China.

The incident was related to Babylon. Saddam Hussein wanted to renege on the debts he owed during the Iran-Iraq War, so he led his army to attack Kuwait.

For the current Saddam Hussein, he is even more rampant than in the original timeline. Thanks to the emergence of the military service program, many soldiers in the Babylonian army are studying at Changshan Army Academy.

In fact, this time, the Babylonian army fought very smoothly, even more smoothly than in the original timeline.

But when the Americans entered the fray, everything changed, and the Babylonian ground forces suffered a devastating blow.

However, the Babylonian military is not without its merits; they possess a missile developed specifically for my country, the CM88 surface-to-air missile.

These missiles destroyed US armed helicopters and F-16 fighter jets.

However, the US military's F-117 stealth attack aircraft taught the world's military a good lesson.

At the same time, during the war, the US military demonstrated its overwhelming superiority in electronic warfare, precision-guided weapons, and information-based combat systems.

The impressive performance of the Babylonian military's missile forces could not mask the overall decline.
