Chapter 18: Seeking trust
Because he had a relationship with his own sister, Weiss did not reject Xiao Lori at all, he smiled and joked: "It seems rude to come in without knocking!" ”
At this time, the "Q version of Guo Biting" is wearing a light-colored velvet hat, an over-the-knee gauze puffy skirt, black stockings and white plush boots underneath, and the cuteness index has reached 90+. The expression on her face was slightly softened compared to dinner, but she still didn't seem to be in a good mood.
"It's annoying! When did you nag like Mrs. Randy in Lady Class! She said angrily.
Walking into the room with her hands on her chest, Xiao Lori couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw a round-faced middle-aged man sitting at the desk drawing sketches at a glance.
"What is Jose doing here?"
"We're looking at the military's sniper rifle bidding scheme." Weiss replied.
"If it weren't for the fact that your face wasn't hurt, I'd definitely think your head was broken by the snow." Little Lori said angrily.
"The young master came back this time, and the changes are indeed quite big." The round-faced middle-aged man behind the desk responded. As a result, she was glared at by Little Lori, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly went to the desk to do her own thing.
Then, little Lori turned around and stared at Weiss from bottom to top: "I asked Morton just now, and he said that you took the initiative to go to the little black house by the river in the afternoon, which is really a strange thing!" ”
Weiss crooked his lips and smiled: "Can't you give me a chance to change my ways?" ”
"It's not that you can't, it's that you don't believe it!" She said like a little adult.
Weiss is a head and a half taller than her, and with such a cute height difference, he can't help but reach out and touch her head.
"Hey!" She slapped Weiss's hand away, "Brother! Didn't you say that! Don't touch my head, I'll not grow tall! ”
Looking at her puffed up, Weiss laughed and said, "Do you believe this kind of unscientific truth?" Tell you about it! If you want to grow taller, eat more meat, drink more milk, exercise more, and don't eat only a little bit at a meal! ”
Little Lori stuck out her tongue at him and grimaced: "No matter! Anyway, if you don't grow tall, it depends on you for the rest of your life! ”
Weiss crossed his hands on his hips: "You came so late, just to discuss this with me?" ”
Little Lori glanced at the desk and lowered her voice slightly: "Is it true that you said about Luke at noon?" ”
Weiss slowly put away his smile: "I know, you care about Luke very much, and he is indeed an admirable soldier, I will never joke with his life and death, but some things are inconvenient to talk about now, I believe that sooner or later, he and his companions will be regarded as heroes by this country." If you believe me, don't ask about it for now, and don't go out and inquire, okay? ”
Little Lori lowered her head, biting her lower lip, and her expression was cute, but this hesitation just showed that she lacked trust in her brother.
Weiss wanted to reach out and touch her head again, just like he had done to his sister countless times, but he still held back, just stretched out his hands, gently held the shoulders of little Lori, and bowed his head and said: "I promise you, this story will be told to you slowly, and, from today onwards, everything I promised you will definitely be done, huh?" ”
"Really?" Little Lori tilted her head and looked at Weiss with big eyes.
Weiss raised his hand and said, "Yes, I swear!" ”
Immediately afterward, he turned to the desk and shouted, "Hey, José, not a word of what I heard here tonight is not allowed to be passed out, do you hear it?" ”
The round-faced middle-aged man hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, young master!" ”
Although José's funny appearance didn't make Lori laugh, her mood had apparently calmed down.
"That'...... When I turn 16 next month, will you be able to come back for my coming-of-age ceremony? Promise me that you will come back, and you will wear a beautiful military dress, okay? Little Lori begged with a blank eye.
Hey, girl, the military academy is not a place to come and go......
Weiss scratched his head: "Okay, I'll do my best!" ”
However, little Lori seemed to only hear "good" and ignore the suffix condition, she slapped happily, and her eyes narrowed into a crescent: "Then it's a word!" ”
Without giving Weiss any chance to explain and communicate, he ran out of his room.
Belch...... Weiss crossed his waist with one hand and scratched his head with the other, which seems to be another troublesome thing!
The next morning, when Weiss brought his sniper rifle proposal to the gun shop, Chief Gunsmith Dahl Wicks reacted exactly like Jose had done last night. It is no wonder that compared with the active standard rifles of the Ulster Free Federal Army, the caliber used in this scheme has been reduced by nearly half, which is definitely novel in the eyes of others.
"That's right, 1.8 Pierre!" Weiss replied loudly, "As long as I use the pointed bullet I designed to deal with a conventional target, this caliber is enough to kill in one hit." ”
Wicks and another master craftsman looked at each other and said it was worth trying.
Weiss was still thinking about how to "tongue war group Confucianism" on the way, and he actually passed it like this?
"To make a new barrel of this caliber, if you go all out to rush the work, you will make embryos, pour molds, and bore...... It is expected that the first one can be made in three days, but because it is a new caliber, it needs to be repeatedly tested and adjusted, so this time is difficult to estimate. As for these accessories in the program, if there are enough people, three or four days are enough, but you can consider that various problems may be encountered in the test and debugging, and how much time it takes to make the first sample gun and adjust it in place, it is really hard to say, it is hard to say! Wicks said.
In the words of the chief craftsman, it seemed that the plan had not yet had time to be implemented, but Wei Si pondered it carefully and found that the other party was retreating as advancing, and he was euphemistically reminding himself that if he wanted to play with this plan, there was not enough time and manpower.
On the way to the gun shop, Weiss asked Jose about the two master craftsmen. According to José, Weeks is also considered a first-class gunsmith in the entire Ulster Federation, and he is a very upright person, and he is still unmoved by the staggering salary offered by the Grumman Group. It was the perseverance of Wicks and another master craftsman that allowed the Clumber-Haytham family to continue to operate despite the odds......
Weiss gritted his teeth and said: "If I use this plan to participate in the bidding, I am seventy percent sure of winning!" ”
The two master craftsmen exchanged glances with each other again, and judging from their expressions, they didn't seem to have much confidence in Weiss's "military order", but because of his identity, it was difficult to refute clearly.
Weiss was a little annoyed, but now was not the time to be annoyed, and he tried to use theory to convince the family's only two remaining master craftsmen, but for these traditional craftsmen who had acquired skills through experience and self-understanding, the theoretical narrative pale in comparison.
Just when Weiss was at a loss, the old lord came out of nowhere, and without looking at the plan carefully, he instructed Jose and the two master craftsmen: "From now on, all the work in the gun shop will make way for this new sniper rifle!" Jose, you are responsible for the scheduling of personnel and equipment, arranging for craftsmen and workers to take turns working overtime, and giving double the overtime pay! The prototype of the barrel must be completed within two days, the first batch of matching ammunition must be produced within two days, and another day to test and adjust the barrel ammunition, and the prototype must be completed by the early morning of the fourth day! In addition, I will send Morton to the Winston Arsenal with my handwritten letter to order a hundred barrels and a hundred bolts from them, so that the production of the 'Warrior Rifle' will not fall behind. ”
The old lord spoke, and the two master craftsmen did not say even a word, and Jose also agreed to it.
Weiss was just about to give a thumbs up to the cheap daddy, when he saw the old gentleman turn around and say seriously: "Dragon, the entire gun shop will go all out to try out the new sniper rifle you designed, and you should also make some contributions." In the past three days, you and I have worked together to make the 'Warrior Rifle' during the day and work with them at night, can you do it? ”
"Of course, it's incumbent!" Weiss puffed out his chest.
"Good!" The old lord looked around at everyone, "This year, the Clumber-Haytham family has been oppressed, this is an unprecedented shame for us, is it possible that this family that has been glorious for more than two hundred years will be destroyed?" Well, gentlemen, it's time for them to show that no matter how many craftsmen they poach us, they can't cut off our endless vitality and creativity! ”
The three men in front of him, the older ones were nearly sixty years old, and the younger ones were in their forties, and after listening to the old lord's words, their eyes were shining and their faces were red, and it could be seen that they were people who really worked for Clumber Haysen!
At the end, the old lord waved his hand: "So be it! ”
