Blackstone Code Chapter 1123: New armament and new situation
Lynch is talking to Mr. Wardrick about industrial development. A city in the south held a machinery exhibition in early March.
At the exhibition, a company showed a semi-automatic production line. This semi-automatic production line reduces a lot of job requirements compared to ordinary production lines.
With fewer people, more can be done, but people are not very interested in it for the time being.
Because of the price.
The design of the assembly line to the production to the maintenance, all kinds of expenses are too high, no one has placed the order, and there is not even a report.
But Lynch and Mr. Wardrick knew about it.
It is normal for the media to be insensitive to it, but as a capitalist, there is no reason to be insensitive.
"It will take some time to develop, and once the cost is reduced, maybe some people will be willing to try these new pipelines."
"But in a short time, people will not do that, even though we all know that this is an inevitable trend of future industrial development."
Lynch cuts the steak gracefully, and Mr. Wardrick affirms his opinion.
"Reduce job demand by about 120%, but increase production costs by 200%. It has no real value in the short term, but in the long run, these are the main trends... …”
The two were talking when the housekeeper appeared beside them and told Lynch that he had his phone number.
Mr. Wardrick was puzzled, "It must be important to get the call to me."
He put down his knife and fork and added some wine to himself, meaning to wait for Lynch to come back.
Lynch nodded, "Excuse me for a moment, I'll be back soon."
Leaving the table during the meal itself is also a very rude thing, but it must be something important, and the two men are not overly entangled in these small things.
Lynch came to a room, a lounge for the host or guests to rest.
It has more than 30 square meters, has a very comfortable sofa, two small bookcases, a chair and table by the window, and a telephone.
The housekeeper explained it, then closed the door gently as he left.
Lynch sat on the sofa, picked up the phone, pressed the yellow button, and then a strange voice came from the phone.
"Mr. Lynch, I am from the Strategic Command Office of the Ministry of Defense..." This person first explained his position and name, and then he explained the reason for the call.
"Not long ago, a plane crashed..."
"The people from Blackstone Security couldn't reach you, they asked us for assistance, so if you are free, please contact Blackstone Security in time."
The call was quickly hung up. Lynch lit a cigarette, thought for a while, and called Blackstone Security, and then he learned what happened ahead.
"Let people find a way to recover the wreckage of the crashed plane. It can provide us with important data. In addition, you need to find out what method they used to shoot down our plane."
"This is a battle that is different from all previous battles. The enemy we face this time is even more ferocious, cunning, insidious and despicable."
“There are sacrifices in war, but justice will never be defeated.”
"Use special bombs, we don't need to be reasonable in the face of these crazy enemies."
"I await your good news."
Then Lynch hung up the phone. After he finished smoking, he adjusted his instrument before opening the door and walking out.
When returning to the table, Mr. Wardrick took a serious look at Lynch and found nothing special in Lynch's face.
The fact that the call can come here to find Lynch means that the other party has a lot of energy, so big that he can know where Lynch is anytime, anywhere, and so big that the other party can make a call here.
With such an analysis, Mr. Wardrick has enough evidence to support him in guessing who is calling.
But he didn't do that, he was just curious that Lynch could really hide things.
Perhaps sensing Mr. Wardrick's gaze on his face, Lynch looked at him, "What's on my face?"
Mr. Wardrick shook his head. "I was just thinking, what happened, if it's important you can leave first. It's not a faux pas."
Lynch pursed his lips, "The northern offensive has encountered some small obstacles. Some little mice feel that they can resist the torrent of the times. They are very sad!"
Speaking of which, Lynch seemed to think of something again, "I remember that I gave you two drawings before. Has its prototype been produced?"
Very jumpy thinking, but Mr. Wardrick can keep up, he picked up his knife and fork again, "Of course, sixteen have been produced, do you want to see them?"
Speaking of this Mr. Wardrick's smile is more sincere. He has contacted the Ministry of Defense privately, and the commissioner of the Ministry of Defense also went to his place to see the tanks and gave them a high evaluation.
Even the commissioners think these things have the same value as planes - they will ultimately change the shape and way of war!
It also means that the Department of Defense is willing to pay for it, which is critical.
Lynch pointed to the sour mayonnaise mixed with vegetables in the middle of the table, while the waiter added some to Lynch's plate.
The steak tasted good at first, but had too much fat and was a little greasy.
Sour and sweet things can solve this problem very well, and the taste of vegetables can solve the greasy to the greatest extent.
He put some sour mayonnaise mixed with vegetables on top of the cut beef and shoved it into his mouth.
First, the sweet and sour and the freshness of the vegetables, followed by the slightly browned beef being cut open by the teeth, crushed by the mouth, and the beef penetrated, but it did not give Lynch too much burden.
After he finished eating, he picked up a napkin and dipped some of the sauce on the corners of his mouth, "Why not send them to the front?"
"Up to three days, they will be able to prove their worth on the battlefield. The Department of Defense is not interested in the model. You have to show them the actual value of it."
Lynch's words made Mr. Wardrick very moved, but there were also some embarrassments. The consortium he belonged to did not have a military organization like Blackrock Security, and the federals were instinctively afraid of war.
Lynch didn't continue to persuade him. Smart people don't need persuasion, because persuasion is often useless or counterproductive.
After he had eaten two more pieces of beef, Mr. Wardrick asked a question, "If it shows up on the battlefield, we are dealing with the Gefra people, people from other countries, including those domestic military-industrial groups. , there is no advantage."
It didn't take long for Lynch's plane to come out, and other companies' planes already had prototypes and started small-scale production.
As soon as his chariot is pulled out, those people can imitate it, which also means that his chariot will not be an exclusive business.
Lynch shook his head, "Your worry is meaningless, you have to understand that even if you hide it and hide it until the war breaks out, those other people can imitate it the first time. "
"And they can use their experience and technology in this area to easily surpass our tanks in performance."
"So we hide it, it doesn't make sense, instead I prefer to prove my worth in war."
"The Ministry of Defense prefers to choose military equipment that has proven itself on the battlefield when choosing equipment, which is why those military-industrial groups know that I am blackmailing them, and they also give me money!"
Mr. Wardrick was stunned when he heard this, then burst out laughing.
He knew about Lynch's blackmailing of those military-industrial groups. If the military-industrial group wanted to conduct specific tests on weapons and equipment in actual combat, they would have to support Lynch with a large amount of military expenses, and the test results had to be counted separately. money.
This is Chi Guoguo's extortion, but everyone has to pay because Lynch has first-hand user experience in his hands.
As long as he explained to the Department of Defense that the use of a certain weapon is very unusable and has a higher failure rate, the Department of Defense will remove the product from the plan.
It can even be said that the experience reports and recommendations of Blackstone Security will become an important reference for the Department of Defense when selecting armaments.
So it's not too much to charge a little money for it?
Waiting for Mr. Wardrick to finish laughing, the condenser continued, "What we need is the competitiveness brought about by competition. When the overall technical level lags behind others, we can only find a way to stimulate a kind of challenge and hard work. Spirit."
“Our advantage is that we can get feedback from the device anytime, anywhere, whether it is good or bad, it can be adjusted in time.”
"We have more feedback on weapons and equipment than they do~IndoMTL.com~We have to take advantage of our strengths, or we can't compete with them!"
Mr. Wardrick thought for a while, then nodded, "You're right, we're just babies when it comes to technology accumulation, the only thing we can do is to find a way to take the lead in the field of practical application. status."
The two clink glasses, and the matter is basically settled, but with some problems extending from the crash of the first bomber, it is still fermenting.
Some things are hard to hide, and coupled with the surreptitious propaganda of the Guevrans, the craze for owning planes is cooling.
The diplomats who used to surround Lynch's flight institute, hoping they would get their orders done first, were suddenly less enthusiastic.
Only invincible war equipment is the target of people's pursuit. This kind of can be easily beaten... it seems like that?
What is the value of aircraft if there is an effective countermeasure against aerial weapons?
An expensive aerial toy?
