Chapter 100: Planning
After a night of madness, Catherine woke up the next morning, and then she took a shower.
That's all there is to it for the moment, Catherine still has a few things to accomplish.
That's the report to the Pentagon.
Catherine came out of the water, dried herself, then picked up thick stockings, bra and put on, then put on a sweater.
I have to say that the clothes made by Lisa have a very good texture and will not make people feel uncomfortable. And because it is tailor-made, the clothes are not big or small, and they are very suitable.
Catherine had a lot on her mind.
Catherine's plan must not be too expensive, at least, give the Pentagon's budget to their satisfaction.
Although it was given to the Pentagon, in fact, Catherine's budget was mainly aimed at the US Congress. They are always trying to find ways to reduce the budget for the Pentagon, and they are trying to get the Pentagon to veto plans that may have high expenditures, and even ordinary plans are sometimes protested by them.
Congress, which has been thinking about saving money, is Catherine's headache, and in fact, there is a reason why Congress does this. The answer lies with the Pentagon.
-- Because they're so good at burning money.
It has to be said that the number of bricks in the Pentagon far exceeds the number of specialists.
The simplest example: the M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle, which is a complete joke, but the Pentagon has fully equipped it with the army.
The M2 was originally an upgraded version of the M113, but it turned out to be-
A certain general said that it should be able to be anti-tank, so he had to install anti-tank missiles.
Someone said they wanted to be able to support the infantry, so they loaded their guns.
Someone said that the rapid reconnaissance vehicle project I advocated was cut, so I wanted this car to be able to be used for reconnaissance, and it had to be high enough to place reconnaissance equipment.
So they ended up building a fast thing with 8 missiles and 2,000 machine gun shells. R&D expenses are more than several times the original.
But it was originally able to hold 15 infantry, but now it can only hold 6 people, and the armor can be worn as soon as it is sold, and the fuel tank will explode as soon as it is sold. The armor, which is claimed to be able to resist anti-tank missiles, was shattered in a single shot -- all of them were shattered.
However, what awaits American GIs is not improved equipment or other better equipment and tactics.
It's a sentence - just get used to it.
Of course, the Pentagon wanted to continue to burn money, but Congress refused to let it, so the later US military could only drive the M2 for a ride.
In short, between the Pentagon and the US Congress, it is almost such a comical state. Catherine sometimes finds it funny.
At the same time, Catherine needed something special that would make the Pentagon take seriously.
Both the Americans and the Soviets are now crazy.
In the 50s, the Americans had plans for nuclear bombers, and they were still viable. And the USSR also had plans for an anti-nuclear four-tracked tank.
The technological ideas of this era are crazy.
Catherine wanted to make her ideas as bold as possible within a reasonable framework.
She came up with a plan that she thought would be a good idea.
Relieved, Catherine turned on the TV and watched the news.
However, some programs on TV news are not as real and fast as newspapers, which makes Catherine a little dissatisfied, maybe she can change this in the future?
Catherine shook her head.
Even if she has so much energy, she is not a workaholic, and there is always no shortage of leisure and entertainment time.
She picked up the newspaper.
"Brezhnev became the leader of the Soviet state?!"
By the way, on October 14, 1964, Khrushchev suffered a coup d'état and stepped down.
Although Catherine didn't know much about the Soviet Union, there were some things that she still had some impressions of.
It was Brezhnev who brought the USSR to its final glory, but it was he who brought the USSR to decline.
There used to be a saying that "no one can live on wages", which is Brezhnev's famous saying, and at the same time, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan and launched a deeper confrontation with the United States, which was also done by him.
Of course, Gorbachev was able to dismantle the Soviet Union, in fact, he was also a superlative.
In any case, at least this will push the Cold War to the peak of Bo's coming to power, which is good for itself.
Catherine was analyzing.
During the Cold War, the United States was also dragged down by the Soviet Union, but the United States carried out an economic transformation into a financial power, and this is still the case in the 21st century, but in a sense, this practice greatly weakened the war potential of the United States in a deep, all-out war. ,
But even so, the United States is still very interested in the demand for the military industry and its control of the military field.
The Pentagon, in particular, will be more keen on burning money and will be able to squeeze out Congress on the grounds of US-Soviet relations......
Catherine wondered if her plan needed to be changed, but after thinking about it, she picked up another planner.
In her previous life, Catherine also used to be a "pseudo-military fan" for a period of time, but she knew that if she wanted to get involved in the military industry, like ordinary industries, such as tanks and fighter jets, it would never work.
But what if you find a different way yourself?
Maybe you can throw them the concept of deep electronic warfare yourself? And hackers?
Hey, what a great idea?
If there is unlimited capital investment from the US government, Catherine can even guarantee that she will let the United States enter the Internet age in advance in the 80s, and use the Pentium 4 in the 90s!
As a supplier to the Pentagon, you can definitely make more money than the civilian industry.
You must know that although the Intel company of later generations is powerful, Northrop Grumman produces more chips than Intel, and this company is a military enterprise!
Catherine thought about it, she decided to go to the company to see the progress of Intel, they had to come up with a product as much as possible.
Maybe it was too much fun, the partners were still sleeping at the moment, and Elsa was no exception, so Catherine was just escorted by a bodyguard, and then said a few words to the servant, and left.
When I came to Intel, it was already 10 o'clock in the morning, and the production department had already started.
"Sanders, how is our research group progressing so far?"
"The MCU plan is very smooth, but I think that only after the Z80 is produced, our MCU will have practical value, and before that, I think even if it is produced, it is completely unfeasible."
Catherine nodded.
"But I need a product that can be demonstrated, and at least we'll show the Pentagon our technology. Otherwise, if we don't have any evidence, no matter how well we say it, it is very likely that we will not be responsible for the final plan. At that point, we're going to be in the middle of it. ”
Sanders nodded.
A qiē is being planned, and Catherine is in action.
