Let's send a letter and ask," Tommy Franks said after a pause, "Maybe technology is more advanced now?"

In the current situation, he can only hope for this.

"Yes sir. Dennis Patrick nodded immediately.

Tommy Franks thought for a moment, and then said with a little self-deprecation: "Well, I'll write a letter to Mr. Welch myself, maybe the AMC can pay more attention." ”

Dennis Patrick hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "General, you have a good relationship with Mr. Fernandez, why don't you write a letter to Mr. Fernandez?"

Write directly to Fernandez Chen?

Tommy Franks was a little moved, but also a little hesitant: he was moved by the fact that the excuse for writing a letter to Fernandez Chen was flawless, and no one could blame him, and the reason for his hesitation was also very simple, don't look at himself as the commander of the coalition forces, but would Fernandez Chen care which onion he was?

Speaking of himself as the commander of the coalition forces, Tommy Franks is well aware that Fernandez Chen has good personal relationships with many Pentagon bigwigs and even the White House, and his status is really nothing to him.

"General, you are the commander of the coalition forces," Dennis Patrick advised, "As a commander, you are worried about the soldiers who have caused a lot of unexpected casualties because of this situation, and ask the research and development company of the HMMWV military vehicle to help find a way, even if it spreads, it will be good news for you, right?"

Well?

Hearing Dennis Patrick say this, Tommy Franks groaned for a moment and laughed: Makes sense!

........................

As the commander of the coalition forces, Tommy Franks' handwritten letter is still very valuable, and Leilani Taylor delivered the letter to Chen Geng's hands as soon as possible.

Seeing Dennis Patrick's earnest letter asking AMC Group to design a protection kit with better protection performance for the coalition's HMMWV military vehicles to protect the lives of soldiers, Chen Guo couldn't help but smile: How can you be so familiar......

Speaking of which, I actually forgot about this business, which is a big business worth tens of billions of dollars.

"Sir?"

Seeing that her boss was in a daze, Leilani Taylor couldn't help but remind her in unison.

"Oh......"

Chen Geng reacted and nodded, "General Franks has introduced me to a good business. ”

General Tommy Franks introduced the boss to a good business?

Leilani Taylor hadn't read the letter, so she was a little curious: what good business can Tommy Franks introduce to the boss?

Chen Geng didn't say much, and instructed Laylani Taylor: "Help me contact Mr. Welch, and say that I have a new project." ”

When Chen Geng arrived at the AMC Group Research Institute, Jack Welch was already waiting for him, and when he saw Chen Geng, Jack Welch immediately greeted him and said with a smile: "Boss, what is the good news?"

Chen Geng said with a smile: "General Tommy Franks, commander of the coalition forces in Afghanistan, wrote me a letter, saying that the protection performance of the M1114 military vehicle is still insufficient, and I hope that AMC can develop a set of protection kits with stronger protection performance for the HMMWV military vehicle." ”

Jack Welch frowned: "The carrying capacity of the HMMWV military vehicle has almost reached its limit, and if you add protection, the chassis and suspension system will not be able to withstand it at all." ”

This is not tolerable, of course, not on ordinary roads, but because if the weight of the vehicle cannot be increased, the HMMWV will not be able to pass the military's passability test for vehicles on various road surfaces.

And Jack Welch was also a little curious: the boss just came to run for such a trivial matter?

"I think so," Chen Geng nodded, "I think it's necessary for us to develop a high-performance motor vehicle for the military with better protection, based on a truck chassis, which is strong enough to protect against roadside bombs from the rebel groups in Afghanistan and Iraq." ”

"Iraq?" Jack Welch's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked Chen Geng: "Boss, are you saying that after Afghanistan, we will still do something to Iraq?"

Although the United States is now clamoring all day long about the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, while the United States is still conducting military operations in Afghanistan, even in the United States, there are many people who believe that the United States Government is unlikely to take action against Iraq...... Fighting two wars at the same time, even if these two opponents are weak chickens like Iraq and Afghanistan, military spending alone is enough to give the US government a headache, right?

Jack Welch also thinks so, but when the words of the US government preparing to take action against Iraq came out of Chen Geng's mouth, Jack Welch couldn't help but pay attention to it.

"It's soon," Chen Geng nodded affirmatively: "No later than next summer." ”

In fact, in March next year, the Iraq war will start, but at this time, Chen Geng must not say too much.

"March next year? That's not a few months away......"

"Yes, it's not been a few months," Chen Geng nodded, and said meaningfully: "Jack, you know, the HMMWV military vehicle was a project that I just started working on in the early 80s, and it has been more than 20 years now......

What about 20 years?

In fact, it's not very good, it's just that the Pentagon bigwigs are thinking about making another profit from this war.

Jack Welch knew this too well, so he nodded: "I understand...... Boss, how many orders do you think we can get for this new high-protection vehicle?"

"Conservative estimates, there must be three large, medium and small models, the three models combined, the total scale of 15,000 vehicles is not a big problem, as for the total value of this batch of orders, I think it will be more than 30 billion US dollars. ”

The reason why Chen Geng dared to say this is because he knows very well how much the future US military will have a great demand for high-protection mine-proof anti-ambush vehicles, and he also knows how much military spending the Americans will invest in the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq in the next 10 years or so.

More than $30 billion in orders?!

Jack Welch was trembling with excitement!

Although he knows very well that the more than $30 billion order cannot be given to AMC, and if AMC wants to eat alone, it will definitely be angry, but this does not prevent AMC from cutting the largest piece of cake in it.

He nodded heavily: "Boss, what do you need us to do?"

"Taking advantage of the fact that everyone hasn't reacted yet, we quickly came up with such a car," Chen Geng said: "As for the name of this medium and high protection vehicle, I will call it an anti-mine anti-ambush combat vehicle." ”
