Chapter 229: The Art of Hegemony 5

Another very important event happened on New Year's Day 1985, and that was the launch of the GS-2 console for the world. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The United States and Japan have been working together to suppress GS-1 and squeeze out a part of the market for FC red and white machines by forcibly intervening.

In order to save sales, the GS-1 has repeatedly lowered its price, and there is little room for further price reductions, and the profit is getting slimmer.

In view of this, the second-hand youth decided to launch its replacement in advance, and the two home game consoles will be sold at the same time to expand the market.

"OMG! A game console costs 119 rubles? "The bears were amazed at the retail price of the GS-2

The price has been set at $199, and four games are included for free – Striker 1945, Pro Evolution Soccer, Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff Battle, and Street Fighter – at random.

Mi Ji asked IT Xiaoxin to copy those classic arcade games, not afraid that gamers will not buy it.

The single game costs $49 and is available in Metal Slug, Gran Turismo, Dinosaur Kombat, and Angry Birds.

It costs $395 to get eight of them, and they are not discounted for the time being, so you can empty the wallets of ordinary players at once.

"So many people in line!"

The Gum State Department Store on Red Square was crowded with people, and tens of thousands of furry bear players patiently lined up.

Huge posters about the games in the GS-2 area are hung on the side wall of the store, making them look so dazzling that passers-by can't help but look sideways.

"Honey, so many people come to buy game consoles, can they buy them?"

Yelena was also a little worried about the stockpile, and for her personal safety, Lilia would not let her go out easily.

The parents of the two beauties were also taken to settle near their residence, so that they could see each other every day without leaving the villa area.

Mi Ji is full of confidence in this, in addition to the mobile phone and computer chips, just count the large amount of this thing brought over: "Don't worry, dear, our factory here was put into operation last year, and now the daily output can reach 20,000 units." The plant in Lielinggrad is also on track so that production can be increased to 40,000 units, and when the production capacity is fully released, it will be no problem to supply it to the world. ”

The goal of the second-hand youth is to sell 10 million units a year, and make a net profit of at least $500 per unit, so that it can make $500 million.

Of course, it is not absolute, for example, the products exported to South Africa and India can be offset by gold, and the supply is guaranteed to be in full supply, and there will never be a shortage of goods.

With the GS-2 as the trump card, Brother Electronics can throw Nintendo's FC red and white machine out of the air.

High-quality content, beautiful graphics, tense plots, and a sci-fi PS controller make it strange that it doesn't sell well.

Lilia hung up her phone and relayed good news to Miji: "My dear, the branch in the United States said that on the first day of sale, our sales exceeded 100,000 units!" ”

With the GS-1 as the foundation, the taller next-gen product is easy to fall by, and everything is fine except for the price that is considered slightly higher.

The GS-2 game has given Western gamers an unprecedented shock, and the experience is more than a star better than the FC red and white machine that Japanese manufacturers have vigorously promoted.

"That's great, I guess the United States and Japan will have a headache again!" Look at what method you use to sanction Lao Tzu this time, buying a game console to make money is small, and teasing your nerves is the right thing!

What players don't know is that eight games, Plants vs. Zombies, Diablo, Fishing Guru, Call of Duty, Return to Wolfenstein, Prince of Persia, Assassin's Creed, and The King of Fighters, are ready.

It will probably be available in the next six to twelve months, so as long as you still have money in your pocket, you're welcome.

The task given to IT Xiaoxin is to launch at least eight to ten games a year, and for the development team that has recruited hundreds of animals, the standard game of GS-2 is only equivalent to a casual game in the main space, which is not much difficulty at all.

As long as the R&D funds are sufficient, you can make twenty or thirty models a year, because there are mature templates there, just copy them directly, and in terms of copycat ability, it should be the first in the world!

Feedback from Furry Bear players has been quick, with cattle who have played Striker 1945 complaining that there are no Soviet planes in the game.

The American P-38 and P-51, the British Spitfire, the German Bf-109, and the Japanese Zero and Shock are among them.

And the main fighters of the Soviet army, "Pull", "Yak", "MiG", and "Ilyushin", did not have a single one, which is very unscientific, it is tantamount to kissing the toes of the West.

Brother Electronics' response to this was: Do you want Soviet fighters to be frequently bombed by various bosses? Do you want to show the fragility of Soviet fighters? Or is your own technology too poor?

Until there is a master who can beat the game with one life, there is no need to consider the possibility of adding Soviet fighters.

At the current level of the player, the results of the second-class youth can make them bow and worship, and they will be masters if they clear the customs with ten lives.

In less than a week, the GS-2 suffered another "lightning strike"!

"My dear, the U.S. side just got a court summons, and an American company accuses us of infringement!" Lilia said helplessly

β€œWhat? And this kind of thing? The chicken was also confused, and only after understanding it did he understand.

Lockheed alleges that the prototype of the P-38 fighter in "Striker 1945" is the same model of fighter manufactured by the company, and that the two are 100% identical in appearance, which is a serious infringement of intellectual property rights, and Brother Electronics must compensate it for economic losses.

The opportunity is rare, Lockheed has opened his mouth through the law firm lion and claimed $500 million, otherwise it will apply for an injunction and remove all GS-2 game consoles for sale in the United States!

(In 1995, the company only entered into a partnership with Martin? Marietta merged, officially forming Lockheed? Martin & Company. οΌ‰

Within two days, Japan's Mitsubishi Corporation also followed the example of the cat and demanded compensation for the infringement fees of the "zero" fighter, the total amount of which was lower than that of Lockheed, but it was also a huge amount of 200 million US dollars!

Fortunately, Kyushu Corporation, which developed the "Seismic Engine" fighter jet, changed its name to "Watanabe Motor Industry" after the war and was merged into West Japan Railway, otherwise Brother Electronics would have received three letters of claim.

"It seems that the time has come to show his identity as a loyal supporter of 'Lockheed' for thirty years!" The Yankees want to use this method to make the deity be captured, and it is too simple to think of it.

The royal lawyer for the American branch of Brother Electronics quickly met with the vice president of Lockheed and handed him an envelope with only a piece of paper on which there was only a paragraph and a graphic on it.

[We have been informed that a stealth fighter developed by your company is now equipped with the United States Air Force, if your company insists on going its own way, you will bear the consequences!] 】

The irregular polygonal shape is nothing short of a blind drawing to the uninitiated, but insiders will recognize it at a glance as the shape of the F-117 Nighthawk fighter-bomber.

Whether for the US Air Force, the Pentagon or Lockheed, the existence of the F-117 is top secret.

How do the Soviets know, the answer is probably very simple, that is, the all-pervasive Soviet spies!

They were able to steal even the top secret of the atomic bomb from the United States, and it would not be too difficult for them to get their hands on the "Nighthawk" materials.

Lockheed spent a lot of money on the development of the F-117, and if it was leaked by the enemy, it would be a heavy blow to the related parties.

A stealth weapon that manufacturers and users are proud of, but it was exposed because of a home game console......

Even if you just think about it, you will feel extremely sad!

The other party also deliberately wrote that it was "a certain stealth fighter", and Lockheed executives speculated that the Soviet Union might have mastered the basic characteristics and performance parameters of the F-117.

As for whether the Soviet-style air defense system can shoot down the "Nighthawk", the US Air Force does not dare to try it anyway, and if there is a real accident, it will be too embarrassing.

Lockheed had the heart to report this unmistakable "extortion" incident, but it was just ...... They run the risk of being directly "truth or dare" by their opponents.

The top priority at the moment is to strictly investigate the Soviet spies that may be hiding within the company, and if they cannot be caught, there will be endless troubles in the future.

Some time ago, the Soviet Union blockaded West Berlin, and the Pentagon organized airlifts, with the result that the C-5, C-141, and C-130 transport planes of the US Air Force all fell into the hands of the other side.

And that's not all, the Norwegian Air Force, which does not know whether it is alive or dead, sent another P-3B anti-submarine patrol aircraft to the other side.

It's easy to find out what their connection was before, they're all products of Lockheed!

With the addition of the F-117 stealth fighter and the U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance plane, the Soviets will be able to open a Lockheed product exhibition hall in Moscow.

The other side should still lack a sample of the SR-71 "Blackbird" reconnaissance aircraft, and when it is ready, then you can take a "Lockheed family photo".

"It's been three days since the deadline was exceeded, and they haven't withdrawn the lawsuit. Our GS-2 was forcibly removed from the shelves by the United States and banned from sale! Lilia also admired the Yankees' stubborn attitude

With the support of the White House and the Pentagon, Lockheed decided not to back down and vowed to carry the lawsuit through to the end.

"Alas! It's a pity, you can have a 'product launch'! I believe that the expressions of the group of teasers on the other side of the ocean must be very exciting

I'm afraid that from now on, a certain stealth fighter that has not been in service for a few years will be honorably retired in a short time.

So, the spokesman of the Ministry of Defense of the alliance officially announced in front of the global media: "Ladies and gentlemen, here I would like to announce to you an important thing, the F-117 fighter-bombers developed by the American company Lockheed have been equipped with the country's air force and have participated in the military operation of aggression against Panama.

With a length of 20 meters, a wingspan of 13 meters and a height of 3.7 meters, the aircraft can carry two 900-kilogram guided bombs. However, our army has mastered the method of restraining this kind of fighter, and as long as the new air defense system developed by our country is deployed, it can be shot down! The so-called deterrent effect of the F-117 will be wiped out and turned into a complete failure......"

Hearing the end, the journalists felt that this became an advertisement for a Soviet-style air defense system!

Only the top of Lockheed knows that the veil of mystery that they carefully crafted for the F-117 has turned into a cotton mask!

Judging from the data obtained by the Su Lian people, they should know the performance of the "Nighthawk" well.

As for whether this fighter can be shot down, it will have to be tried on the battlefield.

In any case, anyway, the careful liver of the top brass of Lockheed is pulling out the cold.

The White House and the Pentagon wanted to use this opportunity to reverse the p-3B's dilemma of being dismantled into parts.

I didn't expect to press the F-117 as a bargaining chip, and I actually lost again, damn it......

"Gentlemen, the outside world and I need a reasonable explanation for this matter!" The White House has been questioned by major media, and the actor president is naturally no better, and 99% of the questions are about the existence of the F-117 stealth fighter.

Deliveries of the Nighthawk to the U.S. Air Force began on August 23, 1982, and the F-117 has been kept secret since it entered service.

Historically, it was not until November 10, 1988, that the Air Force first published photos of the aircraft.

And before that, the Air Force and the Pentagon had never recognized the existence of this type of aircraft.

Now, the Soviets have done the rest for them, publishing not only photos and videos of the F-117, but also detailed performance parameters.

Now that he was stripped off by his sworn enemy, he was in a state of complete indifference, and the Western media chose to believe what Moscow shook out.

After all, the things given by others are extremely exposed and extremely persuasive, and if they are not insiders, the outside world cannot easily refute the top-secret information they present.

Journalists were given a full-scale model of the F-117, a few brief descriptions, and a videotape, and all the stations were now without worrying about the programs that attracted the public's attention.

There was such a major leak, Air Force Chief of Staff Charles? Admiral Gabriel naturally wanted to be the first to say: "Mr. President, I have ordered a full investigation of the personnel of the base to find out as soon as possible whether there is a possibility of leaking secrets from the inside. Both the base and the air force will strengthen secrecy measures to guard against infiltration and sabotage by Soviet spies. ”

Secretary of Defense Casper? Weinberg then followed: "If the Soviets have information on the F-117, then they chose to make it public at this time in order to divert our attention and thus offset some of the pressure and impact of the Star Wars program that we advocated." ”

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, John Jr.? William? Admiral Vesey drew attention to another extraordinary matter: "The Norwegian pilots reported that they had found a very similar fighter plane to our F-16, which is probably a copy of the Soviet Union!" And it has entered service, which means that their research on the F-16 was launched a few years ago, maybe through the situation provided by spies, and it is carried out at the same time as us, which is a very scary thing! ”

"Webster, this matter must be investigated, otherwise our armed forces will face an invisible threat!" Actor President instructed FBI Director William? H. Webster added: "The new generation of air superiority fighters F-X (F-22 and F-23) and the new generation attack aircraft project A-X (A-12), which are under development, cannot have a similar leak! ”
