Section 533 New Business, New Units [I]

By the time Qin Lang arrived at the training base, O'Connor had been talking with the senior advisers for a while, exchanging many views and reaching consensus on some minor issues - without Qin Lang's participation, any consensus on major issues would be of little practical significance - but there were still a lot of contradictory opinions and heated arguments on several issues that O'Connor was not capable of solving, and could only leave them to Qin Lang. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Even if he was not willing to continue wasting time on those issues - like the mysterious gentleman who had advised him, most of the military advisers were opposed to his plans for redundancies. Their reasoning is the same.

Qin Lang didn't want to hear a lot of repetitive and uninspired things. No matter how important the military advisers consider their opinion to be, in his opinion, it is all nonsense.

"Now that the layoff plan has been successfully completed, what's the use of discussing it?" He pointed to a group of mercenaries who were training tactically around a makeshift house, "We should look in a more promising direction, the future." ”

Now that he had pointed it out, O'Connor and his military advisers obediently looked to the "future." However, many people can only feel confused, because the training carried out by the mercenaries wearing black hoods and the black combat uniforms of SWAT members is not what they know about. Not a single military adviser had ever seen such a tactical maneuver: about a squad of mercenaries, one after the other, lined up in long formations, following a man with a shield, leaning against the wall, bending over, slowly and cautiously towards the main entrance of the house......

"What's that?" Someone asked.

"SRT, the company's newly formed tactical unit." Qin Lang replied, "It means the special response team." ”

"No, boss." The military adviser who asked the question said, "What I want to ask is, what kind of tactical move is that." Obviously, it does not belong to any kind of military training that I know of. ”

Another military advisor nodded, adding, "On the battlefield, such a tactical move would cause this squad to take a heavy blow, and it would only take a split second, maybe just a shell. ”

"That's true." Qin Lang said, "But we will not use this kind of tactical action on the battlefield." Gentlemen, it is designed for law enforcement agencies. ”

"Which area of the law enforcement agency intends to hire the company's mercenaries to catch the criminals?"

"No law enforcement agency in any region is going to hire our people to catch criminals, but as you know, the company is providing training services to police officers in law enforcement units in many areas, and we will be offering a variety of optional extended training programs in this business, as well as assisting local law enforcement in setting up their own special response squads."

After speaking, Qin Lang stopped and waited for O'Connor to make a brief addition to his speech. "The San Diego and Los Angeles police departments have decided to form SRT units, and the San Francisco police departments are also considering our proposals."

His words provoked a lively discussion, after all, this was something that none of the military advisers knew, and none of them could understand the need for law enforcement agencies to form SRT units and use that strange tactic when carrying out arrest operations - in the eyes of most advisers, the police always arrested prisoners like this: surround the prisoner, first shout "freeze", then ask him to lay down his arms, surrender immediately, and if this request is refused, fire at the prisoner together, until he is killed or incapacitated; There is another way, which is to surround the prisoner and then fire directly at him, beating him into a honeycomb.

They don't need to resort to other tactics.

"How did you convince the San Diego and Los Angeles police departments to accept the suggestion, Mr. Qin?" One of the advisors asked curiously.

"Take action."

"Actual action?"

"Our mercenaries have shown the police officers who have participated in our training program the dangers of criminals with automatic and semi-automatic weapons, and made them aware that even if they use both automatic and semi-automatic weapons, it is difficult to kill or arrest a target without suffering heavy casualties." Qin Lang smiled, "Then, the mercenary in charge of the training program went on to tell them that in the Los Angeles area alone, according to the most conservative estimates, there are more than eight hundred automatic weapons and semi-automatic weapons openly held by private individuals and gangsters. ”

"So the heads of the police department began to seriously consider whether they needed a professional team to deal with criminals with automatic weapons." O'Connor added again.

The advisers exchanged words for a while, and finally one of them spoke on behalf of all. "It seems that there are not many police chiefs who have finally made up their minds."

"It's not surprising that people are always not immediately receptive to new things," Qin Lang said as a matter of course, as if he was not on the side of the company, but on the side of the police chiefs, "and there are no practical examples of the inability of ordinary police officers to deal with criminals with automatic weapons, nor of the fact that SRT units are effective in deterring them." We need some examples of success and some failures, coupled with widespread publicity, to be able to scale up our service offerings. ”

San Diego and Los Angeles are special cases, as is San Francisco, where law enforcement agencies have long been infiltrated and partially controlled by UMBRELLA, and if he makes a suggestion, their directors will always take it.

They cannot be used as a sign of success, just the beginning.

Of course, there will always be examples of success and failure, it's just a matter of time. Qin Lang doesn't care about time and doesn't feel anxious at all - he believes that the SRT project can be successful, and at the same time, it is not the only new business project for the company.

He gestured to lead O'Connor and the military advisers onwards, and began to talk about the issues they had intended to discuss, the other future of the UMBRELLA group.

"The SWAT unit needs to be reorganized and adjusted." He paused for a few seconds, then continued: "Detach a group of mercenaries to manage, maintain and protect the expensive and dangerous munitions, and then organize the rest into a battalion combat team." I hope you will be able to complete this work as soon as possible, as the SWAT unit will become an important pillar of the company after we drastically reduce the size of the combat unit. ”

"I beg your pardon, Mr. Qin." A consultant stepped in very well. "We have doubts about the combat effectiveness of SWAT units. Although it played an irreplaceable and important role in the battle in Manila, according to our observations, there were some problems with the special ammunition it used, one of the components worked slowly, and the other, although it could produce effects quickly, had a terrible lethal effect and was not suitable for use in low-temperature environments. Not only that, but this ammunition is also affected by wind speed and direction, and the launch requirements are quite demanding. Based on these characteristics, we consider it unwise to put SWAT units on the main combat mission. ”

Qin Lang frowned, but not at the consultant's questioning, but at the bad news that seemed to be good news that he was about to mention—for himself, it was bad news. "Soon, we will have access to a new type of ammunition that is more powerful and can produce results quickly, and it will partially address your concerns."

He furrowed his brow again: Elizabeth resumed her research project immediately after returning to San Diego from Hawaii, and finally perfected her equations and processes, and finally, since the Admiralty - not the War Office - had finally decided a few days earlier to purchase 20,000 gas shells over the next five years, she had also been given an opportunity to circumvent his constraints and decisively put the new gas into experimental production in small batches.

In other words, the only thing he did to get her to Hawaii on vacation was to delay her success by two months.

Qin Lang had to admit that he had suffered a blow. Elizabeth discarded his requests, which was a terrible and dangerous situation, both as her boss and as her husband—he had no intention of having complete control over her actions, but what she was researching was nerve agents, and she was so excited to work on compounds with stronger effects and shorter reaction times, that the slightest mistake in her research could kill her—he was not ready to lose her in any way.

Somehow should be found to get her out of the lab for longer, but still temporarily. He thought to himself, then sighed inwardly, retracting the distracted part of his thoughts.

"In addition to new types of munitions of mass destruction, under Claude's leadership, the technical department of the Great Viper Arms Corporation is working on another type of new munitions." Qin Lang raised his voice a little, "A smoke grenade with a reload that includes white phosphorus. ”

"White phosphorus smoke bombs? What can it do? ”

"More than producing smoke." "For the time being, I hope to keep the primary purpose of this new munition a secret, but I can assure you that it will be an effective weapon that will allow SWAT units to maintain sufficient attack capability in situations where chemical munitions are not suitable for firing," he said. ”

He saw cautious suspicion in the faces and eyes of his advisers, just as they were suspicious of his plans for layoffs. Qin Lang completely understood what these people were thinking, and he still didn't want to make any explanation.

Today is not the day to talk about white phosphorus smoke bombs.

Today is the day to discuss another issue, armored forces.

"Let's forget about SWAT units for a moment." Qin Lang said to everyone, "As you already know, we plan to carry out an armored combat vehicle crew training project, to form a teaching team, and to form an armored mobile unit in the security branch. Now I would like to know, what are your recommendations for the formation, training and tactics of these new units? ”

There were no whispers, and it seemed that the military advisers had already reached a consensus and elected a spokesperson. "We have some premature suggestions, sir, but first of all, we have a question, why not group armored vehicles in that remaining regimental battle group?"
