General Tommy Franks, who was frustrated by the non-combat attrition caused by the constant roadside bombings, immediately instructed Lieutenant Colonel Dennis Patrick to form a joint investigation team to investigate the situation to determine whether the United Defense Corporation vehicle was indeed effective in protecting the soldiers in the event of a roadside bombing attack on a patrol convoy.

"If this car can really protect our fighters, I will do whatever it takes to convince the big men in Congress to equip our fighters with this car. General Tommy Franks said.

Lieutenant Colonel Dennis Patrick led the investigation team very seriously, they first went to the scene of the incident to assess the power of the explosives, according to the situation at the explosion site, the investigation team believes that the power of the explosives is about 3 kilograms of TN, far more than the power of an ordinary infantry mine - after all, the charge of an ordinary anti-infantry mine is generally between 150 grams and 200 grams of TNT, which is close to the charge of an anti-tank mine.

Of course, anti-tank mines have a charge of between 5 and 6 kilograms, and they are usually mixed in a 50:50 ratio with a Tyne T and Hesso@Kim, so the power is much greater than that of a Titan T of the same weight, which is a different story.

After determining the power of the explosives, the investigation team led by Lieutenant Colonel Dennis Patrick went to the United Defense Company to investigate the situation of the armored vehicle that had been attacked by the roadside bombing.

"Mr. Hamp, is this really the car that was attacked, and why is it not damaged at all?" Dennis Patrick looked serious, as if he had not been there that day when he was conducting the test in front of General Tommy Franks.

"How is it possible that there is no damage at all?" Barry Hamp exclaimed, pointing to the deformation of the body caused by the explosion at that time to Dennis Patrick: "Lieutenant Colonel Patrick, look here, the steel plates here have been somewhat deformed under the huge impact of the explosion, and the chassis here, you see, although there is a V-shaped reinforced energy diffusion plate, the diffusion plate was also deformed under the impact of the huge explosion at that time, and here, there is no even paint......"

“......”

The corners of Dennis Patrick's mouth twitched: Although everyone is acting, you don't have to be like this, right?

Barry Hamp also knew that his performance was a little too much, and hurriedly said: "By the way, there are also replacement wheels and tires, which are the ...... that have been hit the hardest by the explosion."

Hearing Barry Hamp say that they still kept the wheels and tires, Dennis Patrick's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "Take us across!"

With wheels and tires, it was simple – if it weren't for the replacement tires and wheels to testify, the team would have even thought the joint team had gotten a car that hadn't been attacked.

When the investigation team handed over the investigation report to General Tommy Franks, after confirming that the anti-ambush and anti-mine vehicle that the United Defense Corporation had just equipped did indeed perform well in resisting the attack of the roadside bomber, he immediately wrote a report and handed it to the Pentagon together with this report, hoping that the Pentagon would test these vehicles of the AMC Group as soon as possible and equip the troops as soon as possible.

The Pentagon's side has been waiting for a long time.

On the one hand, the frequent roadside bombing attacks not only made the front-line command anxious, but also put great pressure on the Pentagon: of course, the dead are not a problem, but the compensation after the dead is the big problem.

As soon as General Tommy Franks' report arrived, Pentagon Deputy Secretary Louis Michael Roy, who had already received his comrade from Chen Geng, immediately instructed the relevant departments to test the AMC's three MRAPs with the highest priority.

No one is stupid, the deputy minister has personally given instructions, although it is not good for everyone to cheat in the testing process, but it is okay to raise the priority of the test to the highest.

Even if it was a green light all the way, it took half a year for all the test items to be completed......

In the past six months, the pressure on the coalition command has been increasing!

In this half year, the coalition forces lost nearly 100 people, more than 10 soldiers died almost every month, and the number of injured (including disabled due to injuries) was close to 1,000!

Among these casualties, more than half of them were due to the hope of roadside bombing, and the compensation of these dead soldiers, the treatment and recovery of wounded and disabled soldiers, and the subsequent living expenses have brought tremendous pressure to the Pentagon, so the first batch of 50 vehicles arrived in Afghanistan and handed over to the Afghan troops for use as soon as the AMC's three anti-mine anti-ambush vehicles passed the Pentagon's verification.

At the same time, the Pentagon also placed an order for a total of 2,500 vehicles for AMC, and required AMC Group to complete the delivery of the remaining 2,500 vehicles within a year, and on the impact of this good news, AMC's stock price rose by more than 15% on the same day.

2,500 orders, the total value of the orders exceeded 2 billion US dollars, as soon as this news came out, the eyes of the major military industrial enterprises in the United States were red: the first batch of orders is 2,500 vehicles, what about the next second and third batch of orders?

Afghanistan is still fighting, Iraq has already started fighting, how many anti-mine anti-ambush vehicles for different purposes will the US military need in the future?

10,000, 20,000, or 30,000?

In particular, the U.S. military truck manufacturer Oshkash, as the largest manufacturer of medium-sized tactical trucks and heavy-duty trucks in the U.S. military, repented when he saw the so-called MRAP anti-mine anti-ambush vehicle of the AMC: What anti-mine anti-ambush vehicle is basically based on medium-sized tactical military trucks and heavy-duty multi-wheel drive heavy trucks, using the powerful loading capacity of these trucks to pile steel plates on the body!

I'll come, and I'll do it!

If I did, wouldn't the order be mine?

Seeing that AMC had gained such a huge piece of fat, Oshkash also urgently held a press conference to announce that they would also "use their expertise and capabilities in building heavy and medium military vehicles to provide the best possible security for American soldiers." ”

Following Oshkash, Ford, Chrysler and other military vehicle manufacturers have also died......
