Chapter 97 Penalties for Joint Defense
Long before the real-time information was exposed, the NSA GIs of the North American security department in Texas had arrived at the Joint Defense Headquarters in full gear.
Different from inspecting other enterprises, the soldiers are very gentle, first line up outside, and wait for the captain to contact the person in charge of the enterprise and obtain permission before entering the factory in an orderly manner.
Outside the huge assembly hall, rows of M3 armored infantry vehicles are debugging the 'Viper' chain gun.
Winter Winter ......
The small-caliber shells fired in a burst of land set off patches of land, as if to give everyone a note of Ma Wei.
The captain chose to ignore this scene and walked straight into the office area.
The chairman of the United Defense was talking on the phone with a serious face, and he didn't even look up.
The captain of the team didn't care, sat in the sofa outside, made a cup of coffee by himself, waited for two cups, and saw that the other party had finished making a phone call, and was just about to speak......
"You know, I'm busy."
"I'm sorry, Nash, but I'm on a mission."
"Then you can go now."
Nash, chairman of United Defense, said, picked up the fixed landline again, dialed the number, and after a few words, he looked up and said, "You can take your people to visit the factory." ”
"What a good suggestion!"
"Have fun."
Nash dropped the microphone, pulled out his phone, and continued to call.
In North America, companies that are slightly more famous have countless speculators behind them.
Like the North American Tower, in addition to the minority shareholders, there are also major shareholders behind the 'Time Warner'.
As for the 'Time Warner', it's more complicated.
The same is true for the United Defense Corporation of North America.
To put it simply, in 87, the royal family of the oil country, in recent years, the tycoon Ben? Worried about the depreciation of the money in their pockets, La's family found a distant relative, Lao Bu, the governor of North America, and formed a consortium called Carlisle.
"The Great Age of Genes"
He also wooed the then North American Defense Chief, the North American Affairs Chief, England Governor, and Deutsche National Bank......
In short, those who have the power come and can get the money; Those who have money come and can get power.
Then, taking advantage of the Gulf Battle in the 90s, he made a lot of money, making the 'Carlyle Investment Company' controlled by the Carlisle consortium the world's 11th largest armament company, and at the same time becoming a major supplier of North American defense forces.
By the end of the nineties, the financial crisis, the oil crisis, inflation in North America, the threat of the US knife from the euro, and a new war was about to break out.
In order to bid and stock up, the Carlyle Investment Company has snared military enterprises everywhere.
Among them, in the field of light combat vehicles in North America, in 96 acquired the M2 and M3 infantry vehicle supplier 'Food Mechanization Company FMC', and the world's largest steel grating manufacturer Harsco, and integrated the two into a wholly-owned subsidiary 'North American United Defense'.
Mainly responsible for: restarting the M8 artillery system, continuing the research and development of the M3 armored infantry vehicle, launching a new armored combat bulldozer, strengthening the existing 'Grizzly Minesweeper and Obstacle Breaker', and improving the M88A rescue vehicle.
It stands to reason that such a background does not instigate the investigation of the NSA, a North American security agency.
In particular, the United Defense Corporation of North America did not sell the M8.
The problem is that there is not only a consortium in North America, nor is there only one family, nor is there only one investment company, nor is there only one investment company in Carlyle.
Only in the field of armaments, there are also veteran armament dealers such as Martin, GM, Broadcasting, Thor, and Texas.
At the beginning, everyone made an agreement to prohibit the supply of advanced weapons, advanced technology, and advanced equipment to the East, although occasionally someone secretly sells something, but now you are blatantly selling vehicles, what do you mean?
A light tank may not play much role on the battlefield.
However, an advanced light tank covers a country's most cutting-edge industrial and technological strength.
Now suddenly sold to the East one......
What else is the Wassenaar Agreement going to do?
In the morning, journalists praised the joint defense, and in the afternoon they collectively turned to denounce it for treason.
Armament merchants, science and technology alliances, materials and experiment associations, and supply management associations collectively put pressure on them.
In the field of military industry, everyone has more or less private work and cannot withstand investigation at all.
Even if the M8 is not sold, if other things are found, the United Defense Supply Company will also have an incident.
In particular, Lao Bu, one of the investors, has a son who wants to run for the head of North America, and if there is a scandal, things will be messed up.
Nash went down to a dozen phone calls in a row, and finally got a solution.
The technology contained in a chariot is indeed very high, but there is no corresponding production line in the East, so it cannot be built at all.
So what's the point of acknowledging?
The most important thing is that it has its own M8, and now that the advertisement is out, it can take advantage of the trend to urge Congress to place an order.
Of course, doing so will definitely usher in a series of penalties.
For example, we will not be able to get other arms orders within two or three years.
For example, during the supervision period, all of the company's products will no longer be sold to the outside world.
For example, hefty fines.
For example, arrange for a few substitutes to squat in for the dead ghosts.
But that's nothing compared to being surveyed.
Nash, chairman of the board of directors of United Defense, recalled the head of the security agency who went out to visit......
…………
……
Weibei test site.
'Hearings were held in the early hours of this morning......
'North American Joint Defense Recognition ......'
'Relevant penalties include......
The old man of Wubei obtained the news from North America through a special channel, and sighed heavily.
Before the 'Grizzly Chariot' was discussed at the proving ground, the spy Liu Yuyang was taken to the psychological counseling room, and later observed, so he stayed away from the project.
Therefore, the data packet that was sent out, except for a surveillance video, was just a bunch of parameters pieced together based on the information of the accessories, no vehicle code, no seller information.
I thought that these things could not be found on the North American United Defense, but I didn't expect the NSA's sense of smell to be so sensitive.
The punishment imposed on United Defense by the North American court also means that all operations of United Defense are suspended for three years, except for the M8 combat vehicle.
Moreover, the production of the M8 combat vehicle will be strictly regulated.
In other words, he will never be able to get the 'plateau killer' in the future.
Fortunately, I bought a full set of diesel engine technology in advance.
But the question comes again, what to do with the diesel engine production line?
I had to look for an opportunity to talk to other industrial countries secretly. ’
The old man took a deep puff of his cigarette, dialed someone's phone, and decided to ask the other party where he was going.
United Defense has been investigated, and it will definitely not continue to invest in TEP.
Daze Power and Daze Thermal Power Plant will be canceled nine times out of ten.
How much money does that kid make selling toys?
It's better to take the opportunity to take the mechanic and join the test ground.
"Crooked, what's wrong with you, old man?"
"What are you doing?"
"Eat melon seeds and watch TV."
"You don't care about what's going on at your headquarters?"
"Headquarters? It's good that we recently invested in 50 towers. ”
“???”
The old man was slightly stunned, why did he get to the tower again?
I immediately thought of chatting some time ago, and the other party seemed to have mentioned the North American Tower.
Yes, the suspension of the business of United Defense will definitely increase investment in the tower industry.
"Boy, what are your plans for the future?"
"Eat, drink, sleep well, what can you do? Uncle, it's been a week, do you still want a chariot? ”
"Huh?"
"Just arrived, five whole cars."
“???”
"Crooked, uncle, is it a bad signal? Say something! ”
"You're doing it against the wind!"
"What do you mean? By the way, there is also a rhinoceros heavy tank, do you want to try it? ”
When the old man heard this, he fell silent.
Are you planning to defect out of North America in the United Defense?
Then should I report to the above, so that I can do the response work in advance?
