It was Serena's idea to initiate a judicial case in the United States against the OIC project.

At first, Wang Dong felt that there was no need for this.

After accepting the settlement proposed by the British court, the turmoil has passed, and as long as an agreement is reached with the British intelligence and security agencies, D&F can resume normal operations.

Of course, none of this is critical.

In Wang's plan, the D&F group was just a signboard, and it was preserved mainly to gain a place in the Western arms market.

Now, D&F's personnel and equipment have been transferred to Saudi Arabia.

In the future, D&F Saudi Arabia will also be the main company.

As for the OIC project, it is not Wang Dong's dish at all, and no one expects to use technology from China to obtain orders from the US military.

It's just that Wang Dong didn't object.

In fact, Serena persuaded Wang Dong with one sentence.

Since the D&F Group is just a skin-like signboard, what is there to lose?

While the lawsuit against the OIC project will not benefit D&F in the slightest, it can cause problems for its biggest competitors.

Obviously, that's the biggest benefit.

In this regard, Musharraf, Gao Jun, Zhao Yu and others all held the same position, and even Luo Qing, who had never liked to intervene in the company's affairs, also supported Serena's proposal.

To put it simply, this legal action is only to delay the OIC project.

According to the information obtained by Nicholas, after the outbreak of the D&F incident, the US military has accelerated the pace of the OIC project.

Quite simply, the ammunition that D&F put to the test was really good.

If the technology of the 6mm countersunk is from Huaxia and is allowed to be exported to the outside world, then Huaxia must have mastered more advanced technology.

You must know that China has always been relatively conservative in arms exports.

So, will the Chinese army change its outfit in a few years?

Obviously, as long as the Chinese army began to be equipped with guns that fired countersunk bullets, all firearms that fired traditional bullets today would become obsolete.

Along with the development of guns and bullets, or the development of guns and bullets, there are also body armor.

Huaxia has already become the world's largest producer and exporter of body armor, which is not only inexpensive, but also has excellent performance, and has been adopted by dozens of countries.

With the popularization of body armor, the existing guns and ammunition have the problem of insufficient power.

In this regard, the US military has done special tests.

Not to mention the SS109, even the M995 bullet, which was specially developed for special forces, cannot penetrate the level 4 body armor produced by Huaxia at any distance.

Even the larger caliber 7.62 mm NATO bullet has the problem of insufficient power.

In the U.S. military's test, the penetration rate of the M80 bullet against level 4 body armor is 0, and the new gun bullet with a steel core bullet can only penetrate level 4 body armor within 100 meters.

You know, level 4 body armor is not the limit.

A few years ago, Huaxia's body armor production company began to sell reinforcement inserts overseas, and the latest level 4 reinforced body armor can even block .50 machine gun bullets fired from 400 meters away, and cope with 5.56 mm and 7.62 mm caliber bullets, which is obviously not a problem.

It is precisely because of the global promotion of body armor that traditional guns and bullets are being questioned.

The development of more powerful bullets became the only option.

The OIC project is nominally to develop a new rifle to replace the M4/M16, but the core project is actually to develop a completely new cartridge.

It is precisely in this way that H&K and D&F have developed their own heads.

From a technical point of view, H&K has taken a more long-term view.

In the proposal submitted by H&K, the countersunk is actually a transitional product, or an emergency product, and its ideal choice is a caseless projectile.

In fact, this is also the direction of development in the future.

What's more, H&K has unrivalled experience and know-how in the field of shellless ammunition.

Let's not forget that the world's first caseless rifle, the G11, came from H&K, and almost all military tests were completed before dismounting.

If the Cold War had not ended in 1991, the G11 would certainly have equipped the German Army by the 21st century.

It's just that the G11 is not mature yet, at best it can only be said to be barely usable.

The problem lies in the ammunition.

The 4.7mm caseless bullet developed by H&K for the G11 is still not comparable to traditional gun ammunition in terms of reliability, which makes the reliability of the G11 not very high.

If the goal was to develop a caseless bomb with excellent performance, then H&K would definitely be able to win in the end.

Of course, it takes more than enough time.

Even by the most optimistic estimates, H&K's ability to develop a working caseless bullet by 2025 is already very good.

In fact, this is also the key to the long-term delay of the OIC project.

Before D&F came out to disrupt the situation, the U.S. military's enthusiasm for the OIC project was always low, hoping to do it in one step, skip the countersunk bomb, and directly equip the caseless bomb.

Now, it is not only the US military that is being stimulated, but also American and European arms companies.

Don't forget, Saudi Arabia has announced that it will replace all existing standard rifles with a completely new firearm, including the DF762 series that is being purchased.

It is D&F that cooperates with Saudi Arabia.

Although D&F has not signed a contract with Saudi Arabia and has not submitted a sample gun, according to outside speculation, D&F will definitely use a countersunk firearm to obtain a contract from Saudi Arabia, so it is likely that the Saudi Army will be the first to equip a rifle that fires countersunk.

And then what?

In the Gulf, Saudi Arabia is not only the country that has too much money to spend, but also the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Kuwait.

In addition, Saudi Arabia also maintains friendly relations with Pakistan, Egypt and many other Islamic countries, and will certainly sell new firearms to these countries.

In other words, it won't be long before firearms that fire countersunk bullets will be popularized.

Obviously, D&F, which is the first to launch the bomb, will have a head start and thus capture the markets of these countries before other arms companies.

When D&F's head-sinking bomb is fully promoted, will other companies still have a chance?

The top priority is to develop a headless bomb as soon as possible to compete with D&F.

Globally, there are fewer than five companies with this capability.

H&K is one of them, and it's the strongest.

In addition, promoting a product requires publicity, and the most effective advertising is actually recognized by the strongest military in the world.

Take the order of the US military!

Obviously, this is the fundamental reason why the OIC project began to accelerate.

Before the Pentagon declared the blue team victorious, H&K reached an agreement with the U.S. military to develop a rifle cartridge with a larger caliber at its own expense.

Actually, there is nothing difficult, just enlarge on the basis of the 4.7mm submerged bullet.

With H&K's strength, it only takes a few months at most to complete the development work.

According to the usual practice of the US military, it will first purchase a batch of rifles using new countersunk bullets in small quantities and hand them over to the troops for actual combat testing.

When the time comes, H&K will be able to justifiably market its heads-down bombs.

In fact, this is the key to Serena's decision to initiate a judicial lawsuit in the United States, that is, to stop the US military from purchasing new firearms through judicial proceedings.

It is not a "block", at best it can only be said to be a "delay".
