Act 176 The Grievances Between Arms Companies
"White Rock, Winchester?" Thomson asked in two short sentences in a row, as he finished in shock.
His body leaned forward slightly, though he had never heard the names White Rock and Winchester. However, this team with these two names attracted his attention as soon as he appeared.
Speaking of which, we have to mention the system of the United States of America. In fact, in a way, the states of the United States of America are not states, but individual states.
The central government, which unites states from state to state, is the federal government.
Units below the state level do not have a so-called permanent army. In practice, the regular army is the militia.
However, although the militia organization has made a great contribution to the establishment of the United States and the stability and harmony of the American states.
But a militia is a militia, and the militia is paid a very small salary, and the militia will always look like a ragtag army.
Thomson, the commander of the militia in New Haven, was drooling when he saw the White Rock-Winchester Wings.
It's a dream!
He saw a dream that would go!
Thomson felt that this was what he had always dreamed of.
Although before seeing these lines, he had been vague and unclear about what he dreamed of.
It's a pity that although Thomson is indeed very happy, his reaction is very problematic in the eyes of others.
Colt, the son of Samuel Colt, Jr., who was sent by the Colt Arms Company, was extremely surprised when he saw this scene.
Colt Arms Company, as an "old" generation of weapons companies born in the twenties of the nineteenth century, its arrogance is naturally incomparable, and as the young master of this company, little Colt values the honor of Colt Arms Company more than his father.
Colt Jr., the first heir to the Colt Arms Company headquartered in Hartford, Connecticut, stood up and said to Thomson of the New Haven City Militia Company, "They're just looking good! They look good! Actually, they're far from us Colt!"
Thomson glanced at the meticulous little Colt with oily hair and flour and hair combed with butter, although he knew that he was the young master of the Colt Arms Company, but he still said very ruthlessly, "This is what I want!"
"You—you don't know anything about weapons!" said little Colt and sat down in a huff.
The more he sat down, the more angry he became, because he couldn't understand why such a person, who didn't know anything about weapons, was actually the commander of the militia.
If the whole United States is the commander of this kind of militia, wouldn't it be ...... Is America finished?
His anger gradually spread from Thomson alone to a collective, and after experiencing patriotic education, he began to worry about the whole United States.
Unfortunately, Thomson knows weapons.
However, he cares more about people's hearts than he understands weapons.
If the troops seem to be a ragtag army all the time, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness is, the masses will not remember it.
On the contrary, even if the combat effectiveness is very poor, as long as you wear the current Shiraishi-Winchester outfit, you can leave a very eye-catching impression.
Since the masses are the voters, and since the voters have an impression, they can rely on this positive impression to fight for more welfare.
So that the militia under his command can really have better treatment.
Otherwise, how could the militia, which was reluctant to use even bullets, have combat effectiveness?
It's a pity that little Colt doesn't understand this logic at all.
Even, even if someone explained it to him, he would only think that there was something wrong with the brains of those adults.
Because in his opinion, it is enough to have advanced weapons to achieve victory.
If you can win so easily, why do you have so many bells and whistles?
Doug Claydon with Oliver Winchester, sitting on the edge of the edge.
Oliver tried to stand up and argue, but Dougra stopped him and shook his head.
It's not because Doug is a shrunken turtle, but because Doug wants to surprise everyone.
A little next to the middle of the first row, Gawain, who was next to the mayor of New Haven, explained according to the question of the militia commander, "Your Excellency Thomson, Whitestone-Winchester is the joint name of the two companies. The full name of Shiraishi is Shiraishi Security Company, and all the people in this team this time are all members of Shiraishi Security Company. Winchester is a newly established weapons company, and the main weapons in their hands are Winchester 1859, and the grenades and daggers on their bodies are also products of the Winchester Arms Company. ”
"Do you know who is responsible for the production of their uniforms?" Thomson didn't care about the weapon, he just asked about the uniforms.
Gawain's smooth answer stopped instantly, as if he had been choked by the throat, because Thomson's question was out of line.
Who would have thought that a militia commander would not care about weapons, not people, but only clothes?
However, as a character who can survive by the leader's side and survive in the cracks, he is not an ordinary person.
His mind raced quickly, and then he gave an answer, "Their uniform is an exclusive design of the White Rock Security Company. ”
Did Gawain really hear about it?
No.
But why did he dare to say that?
Because he knew that both the White Rock Security Company and the Winchester Arms Company were Doug's industry.
However, compared to Winchester Arms, White Rock Security is wholly owned by Doug.
In other words, this uniform is in the White Rock Security Company, and Doug is able to obtain higher benefits.
So, Gawain said so.
Since that night, Gawain's psyche has been completely crushed by Doug.
He had come to see Doug as his new faith.
Although Doug would not let him work on his side, because he worked for the City of New Haven and worked next to the mayor to be able to bring greater benefits to Doug.
However, this state of being like an underground worker made Gawain have more love for Doug and Doug's career.
Even, deep down, unconsciously born in addition to a feeling of "persecution".
He felt that everyone in the city hall was his potential enemy, an enemy who wanted to persecute him.
Working among many enemies, he must always be on his toes. Only in this way will he be able to fulfill his sacred mission.
This act of almost self-persuasion and self-hypnosis made him more and more loyal to Doug.
However, because Gawain still has to maintain his identity on the surface, in the current situation, although he said some good things for Doug's company, Doug still pretended to be unfamiliar with Gawain.
Of course, Doug didn't go so far as to pretend that he didn't know Gawain.
That exposed a lot, because Gawain was the mayor of De Niro after all, and he was in charge of Doug's affairs.
If the reaction is too violent, it will make people suspicious.
Therefore, Doug smiled politely and looked over to Gawain's side, as if he was really responding to Gawain's reaction.
Connecticut was rich in weapons manufacturing companies, and the representatives of the other resulting weapons companies present, although not as reckless as Colter Jr., did not pay attention to Whitestone and the so-called Winchester Arms Company.
Not to mention the White Rock Security that I heard about today, it is Winchester Arms Company, in their minds, they are all younger brothers who have just been established, have no core technology, and can't buy a few guns.
If there is anything about Winchester Arms, it is the marketing of Winchester Arms.
They know about the Winchester Arms Company, the so-called weapons competition.
However, the Winchester 1859 outperformed the other competitors in all aspects. Of course, it makes the production companies of those competing products unhappy.
However, in the United States at this time, there is no precedent for a so-called reputational lawsuit.
As a result, Winchester Arms Company was not prosecuted.
However, although it has not been prosecuted, in the circle of weapons and equipment manufacturing, Winchester Arms Company has made enemies everywhere and has a very bad reputation.
Before the advent of Winchester, all weapons manufacturing companies, although also competitive. Although it is also facing the cruel competition of life and death.
However, everyone still maintains a "gentleman" face.
Even if everyone is for an order, the dog's brain will be snatched out.
However, as long as everyone meets, everyone will still be harmonious.
Doug, the initiator who put Winchester Arms in such a situation, instead comforted Oliver Winchester and told him to watch the game well.
Including the militia in the city of New Haven, there were six teams competing in the competition.
With the exception of White Rock-Winchester United, who played the most stylish, the rest of the teams looked unremarkable.
Although everyone must admit that the look and feel of the White Rock Winchester team is handsome.
But everyone's final focus is still on the competition.
What is the use of Guangshuai?
Can I eat it?
Of course not!
True strength is fundamental.
The first game is a simulated plains encounter.
In this scene, there is no cover, and the two sides who encounter are already in the other party's scope the moment they find each other.
Therefore, the key to this battle is how to destroy the enemy's living forces as quickly as possible and minimize the casualties on your side.
However, although the scene design is critical.
But because of the lack of the blessing of the empty bomb energy technology, the simulated opponent on the opposite side is not a real person, just some scarecrows, and it seems that there is some child's play.
However, for those fighters who are rehearsing, this is not child's play.
Neither the militia nor the ranks of the various weapons companies are young children who have not participated in the war.
In fact, when the bosses of these weapons companies are smiling for smiling, they have not used force to attack each other behind their backs.
In some cases, there may even be forced buying and selling.
For example, Colt Arms Company once made a glorious history of hundreds of heavily armed teams to go to the buyer's location, surround his family, and persuade him to buy weapons.
However, that was only when Colt Arms was just getting started.
Because he has just made a fortune, his reputation is not obvious, because his reputation is not obvious, he can't sell it, and because he can't sell it, he will go bankrupt.
In order not to go bankrupt, in order to survive, after all, we have to find some way. Therefore, armed persuasion has become a very ideal means.
You see, armed persuasion not only demonstrates the superiority of equipping the equipment of the Colt Weapons Company, but also can be purchased on the spot and delivered on the spot.
Of course, such operations have become less and less common.
After all, not all people in this world are soft cherries.
I often walk by the river, how can I not pinch hard walnuts?
The foundries of these weapons companies present are basically the same.
In addition to this kind of violence to make a fortune, there are also related households to make a fortune.
In short, the United States is a free country.
He won't interfere with what you do.
Therefore, if you start a business in the United States, you should also be free enough to think.
In contrast, Winchester Arms Company has only held a weapons competition, which is already very modest and very well-behaved.
It is precisely because of this that the Winchester Arms Company, which has existed for so long, is almost two years old, and there have been no "vicious accidents" in the factory.
In other words, neither Doug nor Oliver has a good understanding of the muddy waters of weapons and equipment manufacturers.
Oliver believes that as long as the product is good, there will be good sales.
Doug believes that as long as the product is passable and the marketing is not bad, the sales will not be bad.
However, they all ignore a problem.
That is, starting a business in the United States in this era.
It's not just about business issues, it's about many things, including personal safety.
DuPont's story has been told for centuries, and Doug has heard it.
But isn't it worth thinking about the environment in which a company like DuPont, which bombs competitors into the sky at every turn?
Of course it's worth it!
It's just that before the Winchester Arms Company expanded again and caused an attack.
Doug had already organized a drill to put everything on the bright side.
It has to be said that Doug has a lot of luck.
If every weapons company is a warlord, the biggest warlord is the militia stationed everywhere.
Therefore, they will continue to maintain their "gentlemanly demeanor" in front of Thomson.
The drill begins!
The gunfire rang out like 10,000 firecrackers.
All the teams present understood one truth - if you want to reduce casualties, you must suppress firepower.
Only by making the other party not even dare to risk his head and not even shoot a gun can the casualties be minimized.
However, the truth is this, but different weapons still make each family's firepower suppress and show different characteristics.
Gao Wenhua, a battlefield commentator, began to explain to everyone who was watching the battle.
