ACT095: Aura
On the first day of the exhibition, Zhao Jian's assault rifles sold a total of 3,850 pieces, with 24,000 magazines and 8.5 million bullets, more than half of which were provided by Franco, who happened to pass by.
To be honest, this sales performance is very poor, almost all of the people who come to buy are local warlords, and even some international drug lords, and the large government orders are only Spain, and especially the rebels who are about to rebel! Although Zhao Jian was not happy with this achievement, it was also expected by him.
The human mind is sometimes like this, and it is unbelievably stubborn!
For example, Britain and Japan, which have the most disdain for submachine guns, neither of which currently equips their troops with submachine guns, believe that a rifle with 100 rounds is better than a submachine gun with 100 rounds, and that a well-trained shooter can finish the enemy with only one bullet from a distance of several hundred meters, and that the submachine gun is nothing more than a waste of bullets.
For this kind of thinking, Zhao Jian feels that there is no way and no need to enlighten, now it is better to say a thousand ways and ten thousand, it is better to suffer a little in the future. Moreover, Britain and Japan are both hostile countries to the Tang Dynasty, and Zhao Jian has no obligation to correct their mistakes in tactical thinking.
At present, the largest ordering customer of assault rifles is Datang, and when Zhao Jian submitted a sample gun to the top, he took a lot of trouble to explain to them the points and development prospects of this weapon, the most important of which is to explain the versatility brought by the development of follow-up "derivatives", which is the so-called "development of gun family"!
Just like the "AK series" in another time and space, light machine guns and submachine guns have been developed based on AK47 as the basic template, so that all friends of the same gun family have the characteristics of universal ammunition and parts, which can greatly reduce the pressure on logistics.
Some of the army bigwigs are indeed very tempted by the prospects depicted by Zhao Jian, but there are also some "precision" generals who oppose it. What made Zhao Jian feel very relieved was that there was no "thrifty faction" in the army leadership of Datang, and the problem of ammunition consumption did not seem to be within the scope of these local tyrants' concerns.
In the end, the Army's opinion was to test it in a small area, and the actual object was the 115th Armored Division of the Eighteenth Army. The division was originally going to equip the infantry with submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles at a ratio of 1:3 for the accompanying infantry of the armored machine corps, but now it has been changed to be equipped with assault rifles; as soon as Zhu Daizhen opened his mouth, he asked for 10,000 pieces in "small batches", and even more tactical vests, and Zhao Jian suddenly had an urge to rush up and hug his thighs and shout "begging for friends."
In short, the rice should be eaten one bite at a time, and the road should be walked step by step! The idea of the army was to test the equipment in small batches first, and then install it on a large scale after rave reviews, and agreed that the 883 Institute led by Zhao Jian would continue to develop the follow-up gun family. The armament of 3.5 million front-line combat troops is not a small number, and they cannot afford to be careless.
In contrast, the individual bazooka is much more popular, and the military has given unanimous praise to this lightweight, repeated, and capable of killing maned dogs, damaging wolfs, and cripple cancers with a single blow. The National Research Institute of the same type of weapons is not not engaged in it, but none of them can be better than Zhao Jian's.
In Datang's regulations, non-"strategic" weapons are generally not prohibited, so Zhao Jian can generously sell these weapons at exhibitions. It doesn't matter if they sell well or not, it can be regarded as a rare opportunity for these weapons to flow into war-torn areas.
As soon as he got home after the exhibition, Zhao Jian reconciled accounts with chief accountant Liu Qingyang in the living room, and King Kong and Xiao Lu, who had removed their "makeup", walked in. As soon as Zhao Jian saw King Kong, he couldn't help but think of the other party's resolute pure face during the day, and King Kong pouted his lips unhappily when he saw his snickering cheapness.
"Is it that fun to bully me?"
"It's rude, I don't think I'll get tired of it for the rest of my life."
"Tsk!"
Looking at King Kong, who was getting more and more delicate, Zhao Jian snickered in his heart, and at this time, Hongling suddenly ran in from outside.
"Young Master! Miss Da Lian is here! ”
"Huh!? She's here now? I'll it! Hongling, you quickly take King Kong and Xiao Lu to avoid it, don't let Da Lian see it. ”
At this time, the true identities of King Kong and Xiao Lu were still confidential, and Zhao Jian's top boss Dai Li, Xu Li, knew and Xu didn't know, anyway, Zhao Jian had never heard the other party mention this matter to him, and Zhao Jian was happy to continue pretending. But if Da Lian comes, the other party will immediately recognize her when he sees King Kong's face.
As soon as the two of them went back to hide in the back room, there was a familiar noise outside the living room, and listening to the movement, Da Lian was definitely not the only one who came. Zhao Jianying went out to take a look, and found that the eight Dalian-class heavy cruisers of the Northern Fleet had all come.
Dalian, Jinzhou, Qiqihar, Jiamusi, Siping, Liaoyuan, Qingdao, Jining! A total of 8 ships were built in the Dalian-class heavy patrol, all of which were assigned to the Northern Fleet. Thanks to the relationship between Zhao Jian and Dalian, these eight sisters often run to his side, and sometimes Liaoning and Shandong will follow along.
As soon as they met, Da Lian gave Zhao Jian a big hug warmly, and then measured Zhao Jian's height suspiciously.
"It's only been a few months, why are you growing again?"
"Eldest sister, I'm only 16 this year, if I don't grow up, then there will be a problem!"
"Forget it! According to your garlic sprout-like growth method, it is estimated that it will be taller than me in another half a year. Ahh I really want to develop like a human again! ”
"Hey, hey! Then you can change a few turrets like Sister Jin, where is the development not development! ”
"Dead boy, you actually took advantage of me and begged for a beating!"
gave Zhao Jian a look without a light or heavy face, and Zhao Jian led a group of "god sisters" into the house with a smile, and hurriedly called for refreshments.
"Sister, why are you here at this point? And they didn't give me a word in advance. ”
"No way, there was still a week left on this holiday, and we were going to come to you the day after tomorrow to play, but I didn't expect the holiday to be canceled temporarily, and we will leave tomorrow. I don't know when I'll be back next time, so I'll come and see you in advance! Hey, tell me my sister, where have you and Xiaolingzi progressed? ”
"Sister, can you stop gossiping so much? Anyway, the fact that your fleet will leave tomorrow should be considered a military secret, right? Is it really okay to talk to me as a non-governmental person? ”
"Tomorrow's roadway control will be announced in the evening, and well-informed people will already know about it."
"In that case, can I ask where you're going? If you can't say it, forget it! ”
"We don't know about this yet, but it's said to be flying in."
Dalian's "flying in" generally refers to flying within the earth's orbit, and there are only two planets in it, Mercury and Venus, of which Venus belongs to the place where Western European countries gather, and Spain's last extraterrestrial colony is there.
"Looks like it's finally going to begin!"
PS: It's on the shelves tomorrow, Children's Day ORZ!
