Chapter Twenty-Four: The Uproar Caused by Director George
"This is where we can take advantage of it, we, Parker Enterprises, plus Miss Pepper Potts, can set up a shell company, just like Cybertech, to make some easy money, such as your pistol armor-piercing bullet, the cost of a bullet is only 0.17 US dollars, and we make money by selling it at the price of a normal bullet.
There are also body armor, our most backward body armor is better and cheaper than the current military equipment, much cheaper, and can also provide textile materials, although these basic arms orders do not earn much money, but there is the advantage of large quantities, and the profits are also considerable.
As for the high-tech weapons orders, after Stark stopped production, they were all pressed on Trask Industries, which was nothing, but recently we noticed that Trask was separated from Hydra. M。 Moreover, the dead General William Stryker's X weapon program was also taken over by Trask, and we can also get a little involved in this regard - that is, our personal armament general-purpose"
Zhang Jinyang pinched his chin and thought: "Trask Industries, this is also a well-known machinery manufacturing company in the industry, but I really didn't know that they still have defense orders, and these high-tech orders are probably not inserted by our skin color."
But what about the sales of those personal weapons? I've been so busy lately that I've forgotten about our old friends. ”
He had indeed forgotten about the police, so he didn't know that George had been almost overwhelmed lately.
The establishment of a mecha special attack team and the procurement of "general-purpose personal armaments" were the result of his cadres' arbitrary efforts to suppress the will of the people, and the effect can be said to be remarkable, but it was also this kind of behavior that pushed the Ministry of Defense into the fire pit.
It is a well-known fact that the Department of Defense has been seeking the Iron Man armor of the Stark Group, and Hammer Industries also guessed this point to get the order from the Ministry of Defense, but unfortunately it went wrong in the product demonstration and was criticized by public opinion and Congress.
The news that Osborne has a mechanical exoskeleton has not been paid attention to, and at that time, Osborne's equity turmoil attracted everyone's attention, as for what products this old military industry had been left behind, Norman was calculated again, was kicked out of the list of defense suppliers, and never had the opportunity to communicate effectively with the Ministry of Defense.
Oranides and George hooked up and made a deal with Osborne's channel and the police department with a thermonuclear microreactor, which was also a means used by Norman to disgust the Ministry of Defense.
After all, a police station can buy combat mechs, and the Ministry of Defense has not been able to come up with an effective method for a long time, and there is not even a little news, which is a big dereliction of duty in the psychology of the North American Eagle people who have a serious lack of security.
The Department of Defense put a lot of pressure on the New York City Council for this, and the City Council couldn't withstand the reproach of the federal government, so it took George's anger and used all kinds of political tactics against the police department - even the police funding was stopped, which made Director George very upset for a while.
Norman was still fanning the flames, his Green Goblin suit had enough energy, and it was not difficult to develop into a full armor, and he was also the one who had bought the wreckage of Hammer's steel armor, so it was easy to borrow a little design or circumvent some patents.
Therefore, he was aggrieved in the media, claiming that the Ministry of Defense thought that his things were completely useless without even looking at his company, and could not even apply for the equipment procurement observation mission, the reason was naturally that he was not as wealthy and powerful as Stark Group, and more than once hinted that there was a black box operation in it.
Even the fact that he was kicked out of the supplier list was brought out of the matter, because at that time, this exoskeleton had been established for a long time and even had some achievements - not only before Hammer Military Industry, but even before Iron Man appeared.
But the Ministry of Defense just doesn't look down on this technology, even if Iron Man has proved that this is a successful road with the Iron Patriot, but the Ministry of Defense just has no intention of looking back, but has repeatedly pursued the expensive Iron Man armor that refuses to be sold, and completely ignores the practical, less budgetary, and more suitable for the needs of the battlefield.
Osborne was also out of desperation, in order to recoup the research and development funds, it happened that New Yorktown had such a demand for equipment, so he had to delete and reduce the large firepower equipment originally used for the military, and made a police version that was half sold and half sent to the New Yorktown Police Department.
As for the pressure from the parliament, he didn't care at all - he was even part of it, and if there was no controversy, how could he stir up the heat of personal armament.
Director George himself is not a good guy, and it is inconvenient for Oranides to stand behind him, but there is also the Guardian Alliance, and these bastard guys are more comfortable with politicians, so it didn't take long for this public opinion to turn into accusations of corruption and incompetence of officials in the Ministry of Defense.
In particular, the archives of S.H.I.E.L.D. were made public on the Internet, in which the military's records of various experimental failures were specially singled out by them and hyped up, and some of them were said every day, and there was a tendency to turn them into serialization.
The military is busy accepting all kinds of wreckage thrown by S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Hydra war, and almost every day new bases, new dens, and new agents are exposed, just to hunt them down, the FBI and CIA are out of the nest and the army is in the back, and no one pays attention to this matter at all.
By the time the matter was put on the desk of the Minister of Defense, it was difficult to say that there was no hand or foot in it, and public opinion was already monstrous, and the public was in an uproar.
George succeeded in gaining the support of the people of New Yorktown, and although both the parliament and Congress refused to allocate funds for the police department, the general public donated much more money than appropriated funds.
Taking advantage of this trend, George announced a pilot plan that also raised problems for the MechCommandos: New Yorktown temporarily went into self-financing and self-management on the grounds that the council had not paid the police department's salaries, benefits, pensions, and other government funds that should have been paid to his uncle, and refused to provide police services to the government.
In other words, in the future, the police in New York City will have nothing to do with the government, and the police will not want the government's money, but what police cars will drive, what government speeches will maintain order, what government security problems, what government departments have a case, I'm sorry, this has nothing to do with the police - anyway, the police can't control this matter.
In fact, there is nothing to do with these things in the police department, and the FBI comes forward when there are things, and the level of the police is too low, and they are not qualified to deal with these things, the problem is that this is all administrative insiders, and the people don't know wow, how can anyone put it directly on the table?12910
