The news from the range was very encouraging, and in the afternoon test, the new assault rifle performed well, successfully passing the tests of sand and mud and mud and water and running over cars, bomb explosions, and falling from high altitudes without a single failure.

The environmental adaptability test is to let the new gun lie in sand, sludge and water for three hours, let the mud and water fully soak into the gun, and then take it out for continuous fire. to test the reliability of firearms in harsh environments. Like the famous AK47 assault rifle in later generations, its shortcomings are quite many, in terms of performance, it also has many shortcomings, AK47 automatic rifle individual indicators are not outstanding, but the comprehensive performance is very balanced, simple structure, strong and durable, very few failures, low cost, huge power, strong adaptability under various harsh conditions, so it is recognized as a good gun, become the most dazzling star in the ranks of rifles in the 20th century.

The 30-meter free fall test is that when the new gun is opened, the new gun will fall from 6 directions at a height of 30 meters, and it will still not misfire, and the gun will not fall into a pile of parts, and it can be used normally when picked up.

The car crushing test is to put a new gun on the road and use a car weighing several tons to run it back and forth to test whether the gun can remain intact under heavy pressure.

The explosion test is to use a bomb to test the reliability of a new gun in a violent explosion, and a good gun will not be damaged in a strong explosion, and even use a more powerful rifle to shoot at the new gun to test the ability of the new gun to resist the bullet.

During the afternoon tests, the new assault rifle showed good reliability without even a single breakdown. This shocked the testers present, including the chief designer Berg, to know that there is no rifle in the world that can compare with the new assault rifle in this regard.

After the initial tests, Philip finally got a stone in his heart, and the next step was to sell this revolutionary rifle.

On the morning of the third day, the good news finally came that Swedish Defense Minister Andersson had arranged to meet with representatives of Bofors at 3 p.m. This made Carl and Philip very happy, and as long as there was a chance to meet the Minister of Defense, there would be an opportunity to hold a defense exhibition. Carl and Philip studied the contents of the proposal again so that they could better express it during the meeting and get the defense secretary to support the exhibition.

At 3 p.m., the meeting was held as scheduled in a small conference room of the Ministry of National Defense. The Bofors representatives were Carl, Philip, Lucas and Anna, while the Department of Defense was attended by Secretary Anderson and an undersecretary for arms procurement, John Kerry.

By the time Philip and the others were guided into the conference room by the Department of Defense Office, Secretary Anderson and Deputy Secretary Kerry were already sitting there.

Philip took a closer look as he entered, and the minister, Anderson, was a tall, burly general, with a bearded face, who looked to be in his fifties, but he was in good spirits and had a solemn expression. And the deputy minister is a polite image, also in his fifties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and he is not smiling.

Minister Anderson did not get up, but raised his hands, pressed down slightly, and said in a deep voice: "A few of you are the representatives of Bofors, please take a seat!" ”

Mr. Carr introduced to Anderson and Kerry with a sophisticated smile: "Your Excellency, the contempt is Karl, the chairman of the Bofors Company, this one is Mr. Lucas, the deputy general manager of the Bofors Company, this is Mr. Philip, the deputy chief designer of the Bofors Company, and this beautiful young lady is Miss Anna. ”

After introducing his people, Mr. Karl motioned for a few people to sit down. The seating was also very interesting, the distance between the two sides was very long, and this may be to show the detachment of the position of the Ministry of Defence, if it were not for the connection, how could the Minister have met with a representative of a small arms company in a situation where all the opportunities were made?

Anderson said in a deep voice, "Several, I already know your requirements. I would like to know what is the purpose of this defense exhibition? Why should we, the Ministry of Defense, provide you with convenience and support? ”

Karl nodded and said, "Your Excellency, please allow me to analyze it for you. Judging from the transactions in the international arms market in the past five years, the substantial increase in the demand for weapons in various countries shows that the transaction volume of the world's arms market will show a blowout growth in the next few years. Our Kingdom of Sweden is located in the north of Europe, far from the center of war, and it is a permanently neutral country, even if there is a world war, our country will not be involved in the war, and this time, it is our opportunity to get rich. Now that the Germans are secretly manufacturing and buying large quantities of weapons and equipment, we predict that in the near future there will be another war of a larger scale, in which the major countries of Europe will be involved. Obviously, these countries are also aware of this, and they have expanded their armed forces and strengthened their weapons and equipment. This is a good opportunity for us to hold an international defense exhibition, and for some time now, the international arms trade has been bursting out one after another, and it is particularly hot, in sharp contrast to the cold snap of the economy, and the arms trade has become a standout in the economic depression. The Stockholm International Defense Exhibition, which we are preparing for, is to create a platform for the world's arms and arms trade, so that the world's well-known arms dealers can gather here to exchange and develop together. For the Kingdom of Sweden, holding such a defense exhibition is conducive to promoting the country's economic development, improving its international status, and creating a good image business card. ”

As soon as these words came out, the solemn-looking Minister Anderson and the unsmiling Deputy Secretary Kerry both changed their faces greatly, they did not expect that this little arms dealer could analyze the international arms market thoroughly, it was not simple, they had underestimated them before.

Anderson immediately put on a smiling face and said to Carl: "It seems that I underestimated your Bofors company, do you have a detailed plan?" With just a few words, I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to make a decision. ”

Karl hurriedly took out two copies of the "Stockholm International Defense Exhibition Project Plan" from his bag and brought them to Anderson and Kerry by the staff of the Ministry of Defense.

Karl said slowly: "Your Excellency Minister, this is the project plan made by our company, please take a look!" We believe that this defense exhibition is very beneficial to our country. ”

Philip was also observing the expressions of the two ministers. I saw the two of them reading the plan carefully, at first the two were not shocked, and the expressions of the two ministers became more and more shocked, and finally Minister Anderson even slapped the table and said loudly: "Okay!" Good! Good! It's so well written! I would like to give my full support to this defense exhibition! If you have any difficulties, just mention them, and our Ministry of Defense will try our best to help you solve them! This defense exhibition is a great thing for our country! It's long overdue for us to have an exhibition like this! ”

Karl didn't expect things to go so smoothly, so he smiled and said, "Your Excellency, I have one more good news to tell you!" Our Bofors company has recently successfully developed a new type of rifle, called the assault rifle, which can be said to be a great revolution in the history of firearms, and we are willing to provide 500 free of charge to the government for trial! If this rifle satisfies His Excellency the Minister, our company can mass-produce and supply it to the army of our country, and at the same time prepare it for export. ”
