Chapter 199 [Pursuit]

Simon is panicking now, and he is now more and more afraid to meet Marilyn Hewson, the head of the company, because he swore that he had promised it.

As a result, no matter how you look at it now, it was messed up and slapped in the face.

The B-185 hussars are likely to face the embarrassing situation of not being able to sell, and the US military can only equip it itself, and even the US military may not be willing to equip it on a large scale, and $16 billion may be the first and last contract order.

However, this new weapon and equipment was previously predicted to bring tens of billions of dollars in profits to the company within Loma, but the actual result was that Tianqing Technology was killed halfway through, and this considerable profit was taken away.

At least, the dog owner originally liked the weapon "B-185 Hussar", but now he unabashedly shows his dislike for this equipment, and unabashedly expresses his favor for Tianqing Technology's products.

Things were not as Simon expected, half an hour later Marilyn Hughson convened an internal emergency meeting to discuss the matter, at which Simon was scolded for being bloody, the personality of Westerners and Orientals can be said to be diametrically opposed, and there is no shying away from any problems on the spot.

Whoever made Simon the head of the "B-185 Hussar" project, he must have an unshirkable responsibility for such a thing.

"The data is 7-VS-22, and the light cavalry has a threefold numerical advantage, but it turns out to be a complete defeat."

"You can't ignore the human factor, Ejazi is just too wasteful." Simon, who attended the meeting, said: "You can't completely deny everything about the 'light cavalry' chariot because of the temporary defeat in Benghazi, in the war on the Northeast Asian Peninsula that year, the Chinese used millet plus rifles to beat the coalition forces composed of sixteen countries to the point of forced truce, but it can't be said that millet plus rifles are better than planes, tanks, and artillery, isn't it?" ”

Another executive in a black suit said nonchalantly: "That's right, but this doesn't change the poor performance of the 'light cavalry' tank in Benghazi, it is wrong to even breathe if it fails, the customer will not listen to your explanations and words, he only sees the fact that our 'light cavalry' tank was blown up by the spherical tank of Tianqing International, and only sees the fact that the spherical tank is stronger than the 'light cavalry' tank, so we lost the $7 billion order contract at our fingertips." ”

Simon: "......"

"This is intelligence from the CIA, a comprehensive review and analysis of the fierce night fighting in Benghazi."

Everyone couldn't help but look at the home screen, which was the result of the investigation of some Navy SEALs and CIA agents in Benghazi, and after the Tianqing International personnel left Beni Shan Airport, the Americans conducted a comprehensive sampling and analysis of the local battlefield remains.

Combined with the report of the CIA agent and military adviser to the other side who was by Ezach's side at the time, Simon's guess was correct, and as the main person in charge of the project, he immediately defended the 'light cavalry': "Obviously, the biggest mistake was not the 'light cavalry' chariot, but the stupid donkey of Ödjazi." The people of Tianqing International are not only well-equipped this time, but they are too good at understanding people's hearts to effectively formulate combat strategies, and in terms of tactics, Ejazi is defeated, and he is not at all the opponent of a nation that can write "The Art of War". ”

"Don't review it, it's pointless and a waste of time." Marilyn Hewson directly closed the main screen of the conference room and looked around at the participants: "How to recover the loss and even make the project profitable is the theme of this meeting, the 'Kite Project' plan from the project to the shelving and then to restart, lasted 11 years, before and after the consumption of 4 billion US dollars in research and development, the military's 4,000 orders contract only brought the company 1.9 billion US dollars in profits, if this is the last order, the 'Kite Project' will make the company lose 2.1 billion US dollars." ”

"Obviously, the 'light cavalry' needs a victory, and the opponent is the spherical chariot of the Chinese, and it only needs a beautiful turnaround to bring the situation back," said one executive. ”

"Then we can only increase investment so that the light cavalry fighting vehicles can be upgraded."

"It's obviously a technical issue, why didn't Dr. Vera come to the meeting? She is the key person after the relaunch of Project Kite. ”

A group of executives of the Loma company said in the conference room, the research and development of the "light cavalry" combat vehicle has reached an astonishing 4 billion US dollars, if the first and last order, this project will definitely lose money to grandma's house, even Lockheed Martin feels extremely painful.

This is not the most hateful, the most angry is the tiger's mouth of the Tianqing Technology, in a short period of time, in Libya has earned 9 billion US dollars plus a spherical chariot stepping on the 'light cavalry' to take the position.

Eagle sauce's intelligence department also learned that Ka Dazuo was interested in buying the spherical chariot of Tianqing Technology, but the Chinese chicken thief was like a little clever ghost, so he didn't sell it.

Obviously, the Americans also saw that Tianqing Technology was afraid that the spherical chariot would overturn in the hands of Kadazuo, which would affect future export orders.

Don't underestimate the influence of a battle, in the Gulf War that year, Huaguo's tanks were miserable by Yilak, resulting in a heavy blow to the export trade behind.

After the meeting, Simon found Vera Lopez for the first time, she is still focusing on her own high-energy weapons research project, Loma has already invested 5 billion dollars in research funds for her, her ability to burn money is a little weak even if Marilyn Hewson is a little weak, how long has it been since she joined Loma? $5 billion has already been burned.

But she still supports her project very much, in the end, because once the project is successful, the return is huge, and another reason is Vera's contribution to aluminum-air battery technology, 10,000 steps back, even if the "B-185 Hussar" fails, the commercial expansion of aluminum-air battery technology alone can save the investment and even profitability of the "Kite Project" for 11 years.

However, it does not mean that Lockheed Martin will give up the "B185 hussar", a weapon and equipment that has been developed with great difficulty, and it is impossible to give up and give up.

"Even if the B185 is slightly inferior to the spherical tank, it still can't change that it is the strongest land combat equipment that the U.S. military can equip, it can easily defeat all the main battle tank combat vehicles in service with the U.S. military, no matter how powerful the spherical tank is, it is also a Chinese thing, and no matter how bad the B185 is, it is the best equipment that the U.S. military can be equipped with now." Vera Lopez said.

It can be said that a word woke up the dreamer, Simon was stunned for a while and then suddenly became enlightened, she was right, the military must be more than this, and this project will continue to make money.

"Dr. Vera, the company hopes that you will continue to take over the 'Hussar' project and lead the team to participate in the research and development of the B-185A model." Simon said that it was an improved version of the B-185, and it was clear that there was no one better suited to lead the project.

"No, I'm not going to take on this project again." Vera decisively rejected his request.

She took over the project because Marilyn Hewson came to her on her initiative, and Vera also found that she had burned billions of dollars at Loma, and needed a tangible work to bring profits to the company, so that the company would unreservedly support the high-energy weapons development project she was most interested in.

It is enough that a series of technologies from the B185 vehicle project could be spun off and applied elsewhere and bring unimaginable returns to Loma.

Seeing Simon's disappointed and helpless eyes, Vera thought for a while, and said: "I suggest that the B185 can be improved in two major aspects, one is to use carbonacene materials, and the other is to improve the armor structure, the biggest weakness of the B185 is its weak defense, even if the mobility is not as good as Gu Cheng's spherical chariot to solve this problem, but the other aspects will not be weak." ”

Simon said with a confused expression: "Dr. Vera, I am a salesman, not a scientist or a master of weapon design and development. ”

Vera: "You have a mouth, don't you?" You can tell me, that's it, I'm going to work. ”

Simon looked at her to enter the R&D department of the high-energy project again, and he felt that she had such a pretty face, but she was immersed in the laboratory every day, which was simply a terrible thing.

However, Simon attaches great importance to Vera's suggestion, and the carbon ytyne material has become the key, so he has to deal with the Chinese.

Because the carbonacene material is monopolized in their hands, and the export of this material to North America is extremely limited, and the monks have more meat and less meat.
