The fat vice president turned back to the sofa: "Nephew Long, the matter I promised you has been completed, and the content of the preliminary examination will be delivered to your room before dinner." In addition, I have two retired soldiers with very solid skills, and I will ask them to help you with assault training, as long as you concentrate on it, your performance will definitely improve a lot. ”

Someone gave him a pillow when he was sleepy, and Weiss was of course happy to accept it.

"I really help my nephew, and my nephew also wants to help me sincerely, so we swear that we trust and support each other, and never betray each other, how about it?" The fat vice president raised his right hand.

"Yes, I swear!" Weiss then raised his right hand.

Realistically, at the national level, treaties are always used to bind the weak, and at the interpersonal level, oaths mean nothing more than that.

After making an oath, the fat vice president also deliberately gave Weiss a close hug, and when the two sat back on the sofa, he first vented his bitterness to Weiss: he was born in the military, and he has a deep research on weapon construction and battlefield applications, and as the head of the technology and market operation department of the Grumman Group, he has put forward clear opinions on the design of many weapons, for example, He resolutely opposed the selection of the M3.2 rifle to participate in the bidding for the military's standard rifle, but under the manipulation of the Grumman Group, this stupid and slow bolt rifle eventually became the military standard rifle, and the officers and soldiers of the federal army did not like it at all, and gave it the nickname of "Grumman Burning Stick", many troops wrote to the Military Technical Committee to complain, and in the end it was all gone, and the Grumman Group, which won the order of 1.6 million standard rifles, had a net profit margin of more than 30% after tax for six consecutive years!

"So far, the only thing that makes me glad is that under the joint hostage of the Free Federation and the Kingdom of Wessex, the Norman Empire has not dared to make a move to cross the line, as long as this relatively balanced situation continues, there will be no large-scale war for twenty years, at least ten years, so that our soldiers will not have to face the enemy with bad weapons." The fat vice president sighed.

Based on his own personal experience, coupled with the modern history of the earth as a reference, Weiss didn't think that the Norman Empire had the patience to wait for ten or twenty years, but he didn't need to explain it to the fat vice president here, so he put this in his heart for the time being, and just expressed his other doubts: "I have a little curiosity, it's just that ordinary troops use 'Grumman burning sticks', why do elite special service teams still use this rifle?" ”

Without hesitation, Vice President Fat replied: "Because of the limited armament budget approved by the Supreme Council that year, the War Department finally decided to purchase a standard rifle for the whole army after repeated discussions, and at the same time purchase new revolvers for officers and non-commissioned officers, so the special forces will either use our standard rifles, or use the old rifles that have fallen back into the army, or use the standard rifles of the Norman Empire or the Kingdom of Wessex, what do you think they will choose?" ”

"What a cheat!" Weiss muttered.

The fat vice president didn't pay attention to what he was muttering, but reminded: "When you are about to graduate, if someone invites you to join the special forces, remember, don't say yes!" Although the Special Service Force is paid twice as much and gets a promotion after two years, the training intensity is high and there are some inexplicably dangerous missions to perform. As far as I know, only about half of the people who join the Special Service will be able to stay on all fours for two years. ”

In the battle that Weiss experienced, more than a dozen people in the entire special service team were reimbursed, which shows that what Vice President Fat said was true.

"I had given up the fight, but when I saw your sniper rifle bidding report, I suddenly realized that you were the one who could make me redeem! Dragon nephew, not only do I need to get the power and position that rightfully belong to me, but I also want the federal army to use good weapons that can defeat the enemy. To tell you the truth, this time, the Grumman Group wants the M3.2SK to win the bid for a standard sniper rifle, and this rifle really has nothing to praise other than a high profit. ”

When the fat vice president said this, the image of an older and angry young man jumped in front of Weiss's eyes.

"So, the reason why the president wants to buy our design is to get it out of the bidding so that the M3.2SK, which has a higher profit margin, wins? However, he promised to give us a third of the profits, and to pay 2 million kroner in advance, if our plan did not win......"

"That's 2 million kroner for you!" The fat vice president answered, "Long nephew, you calculate, the first batch of orders from the military is no more than 6,000, according to the past practice, as long as the first batch is qualified, the second and third batches are usually added, and the total number of sniper rifles should be no less than 20,000 based on the demand for sniper rifles by the federal army and the National Guard." If the M3.2S wins, the Grumman Group will get at least 400 kroner each, a total of 8 million kroner, and it is very cost-effective to use a quarter of the profit to make your design out of the competition, and the 2 million will not be spent in vain, and in a few years, when the order for 6000 sniper rifles is delivered, the Grumman Group can recommend your design to the military, encourage the military to add new orders, or apply it to a new generation of standard rifles, then the profit will be even more considerable. ”

Weiss pondered for a moment, and quickly figured out what the fat vice president said. The big boss of the Grumman Group is really scheming, with only 2 million crowns, not only clearing the current "strong rival", but also reserving technology by the way, and making a profit from it more than ten times?

High, really high!

"That'...... Is there any way we can keep our design in this auction? ”

The fat vice president shook his head: "In fact, if you accept his offer and sign a transaction agreement with him, the power of life and death of this design will be in his hands, and when the bidding deadline has expired, even if you have a new design proposal, you will not be able to submit it to the bidding committee." ”

Weiss couldn't help frowning at the thought that his cheap dad might still be negotiating the deal with the big boss, but after thinking about it, he couldn't do anything but pray that he could resist the temptation.

Seeing Weiss's expression so entangled, the fat vice president faked a cough: "Well, in fact, we are not completely without a way to turn the situation around." For this bid, the War Department's Technical Committee brought in Colonel Bergvein, the Union Army's number one sniper in the last major battle, and I had the privilege of winning first place in the course he taught, and we kept in correspondence all these years. If we go to him with a sample gun and use his influence to get the technical committee to start an independent technical review process, then even if the Grumman Group announces that the plan will withdraw from the bidding, the military can still designate a trial production based on this design plan, and if the trial production is qualified, it can appoint an arms supplier for technical production, so that the Grumman Group's profits on this project will be greatly reduced, which will be a very heavy blow to his reputation! ”

Weiss quickly cleared up the logical thinking of this plan, and if the relationship that Vice President Fat Man said did exist, this strange way was indeed feasible.

"However, if you come to an agreement with him, the design you bring with you will be handed over to him, and with his discretion, he will definitely arrange for someone to go to your gun shop and take over the existing molds and accessories, and I will not be able to snatch them from him. This meant that we had to secretly produce a sample gun and ammunition within two days, using the personnel and equipment we had, and I would personally send them to Colonel Bogwein before our plan could be carried out. With that, the fat vice president looked at Weiss expectantly, hoping to get a positive answer from him.

"Two days?" Weiss subconsciously touched his chin, "As long as you can convince my father to let our people help, and you provide the corresponding places, equipment and manpower, it shouldn't be a problem in two days." ”

"Good! The premises, equipment and manpower, there is no problem, I will arrange it properly. As for the Lord's side, he bothered the dragon nephew to persuade him. Belch...... It's not that I don't want to go, but there are a lot of inconveniences right now, and besides, I think the effect will be much better if you persuade me to do so! The fat vice president explained in a flickering voice.

"Alright! I did my best. With that, Weiss patted his thigh, got up, and stretched out his hand: "I wish us a happy cooperation!" ”

The fat president threw out his fat hand and firmly clamped Weiss like an iron tong: "Happy cooperation!" ”
