Although its own intelligence system has been secretly expanding, it is still at the grassroots level.

It's easy to inquire about overseas bases.

It's a bit difficult to understand why North America procures so many vehicles.

Xu Fei asked the Navy SEALs to contact someone to collect relevant information, and then found Raymond's dog to practice canine sign language.

It gives instructions through the minimap to make the military dog understand the commander's problem, and the military dog uses all four paws together to describe what happened.

It's a pity that the 'North American Military Department Procurement' is too complicated.

One person and one dog tossed for a long time, and no one could understand the meaning of the other party.

Xu Fei thought about it and decided to study the order for joint defense first.

The M8 is a light tracked combat vehicle intended for airborne.

The standard version has a 105mm rifled gun, a 6V550C engine, torsion bar suspension, and an automatic transmission.

Although it is pressed and beaten by mysterious forces in Hazara, it also reflects its unique advantage in the highland terrain: run fast!

It's just that North America doesn't know that the original parts are replaced, and every time they run out of the limit speed, they have to be overhauled.

And for this order, the North American military department proposed an improvement plan, requiring the adoption of the chassis of 'Stryker'.

'Stryker' is a new generation of wheeled armor jointly developed by General Motors with the help of the strategic relationship of 'three links' after General Motors announced its return to the field of armament business.

The overall configuration is similar to that of M8, but due to the use of wheeled type, the overall bearing capacity is low, and it cannot adapt to complex terrain, and the advantage is that the highway is flexible and flexible, and the travel is long, which is suitable for the use of developed highways or flat terrain in plain desert areas.

At present, the price is higher than that of the M8, about 5 million US dollars.

Therefore, due to the high price, the 'Stryker' series has not been able to get orders, and it has not yet been put into production.

And the meaning of the North American military department is also obvious.

Lose weight to the M8 and install a 120mm smoothbore gun.

Finally, an airborne wheeled combat vehicle with low cost, easy maintenance, flexible mobility and strong firepower is formed for field raids and street battles.

This means that you can't afford to buy a Stryker, but you have an upgraded M8 with better performance than Stryker.

Xu Fei listed important information on the paper, "Maneuvering, street fighting, and field raids, this is not fighting Afu." ”

The terrain of Afghanistan is complex, the whole territory is mountainous, and many places are plateaus.

If you hit Afu, you must use the M8 of the crawler type, or M8+.

And the 'Stryker' wheeled armor arrived in Afghanistan, I'm afraid it wasn't a New Year's gift to Harden.

Therefore, the target in North America this time is a plain or desert area with large cities.

Xu Fei took note of this and turned to the issue of quotations.

M8 change, which is not the same as the order for training uniforms.

There is a model for clothes and pants, which can be directly put into production, but the vehicle upgrade and modification have to be experimented.

And this order is also distinguished by 900 M8 units.

At the beginning of Raymond's purchase, how much the unit price was, how much did you actually pay.

Now you have to calculate federal and state taxes, which are about 40 percent.

And so it counts.

Even if we do not introduce the chassis of General Motors' Stryker, we will use our own Bradley series.

Even if you don't find the German company to introduce a 120mm smoothbore gun, use the 125mm of its own rhinoceros tank.

Referring to the external quotation, with a budget of 4 million, the profit will not be too high.

Fortunately, now only their own will make M8, and the price will be written casually.

Xu Fei immediately copied the price of 'Stryker', took it as his own quotation, and indicated the values of 125 slip, 6V750C and so on.

At this time, a special chat room for the intelligence system popped up with several pieces of information.

Latest information:

General Dynamics + Thor, got an order for 600 Tomahawks and 50,000 spoofed bombs.

General Electric + Northrop got 220 f/a18s.

Martin + Boeing + Honeywell, got 260 F22s.

Carlyle Investments + Grumman got 60 transport planes, 50 helicopters, and fighter parts worth 15 billion US dollars.

There are also many parts of the chariot, the parts of the gun, the parts of the artillery that have been heard of or have not heard of......

"With so many orders, plus the original base, not to mention local battles, it is more than enough to destroy a small country."

After Xu Fei was stunned, he looked back at his own order, and suddenly felt very sad.

Iron sheet company 1.07 billion + 1 billion, that is the 'low profit' that others don't look down on.

United Defense's 1,500 modified M8s are almost a 'money-losing deal'.

And people ......

This is called a big order!

Suddenly.

The e-commerce system of United Defense jumped out of a notice.

Hello, United Defense, according to the North American Defense Contractor Agreement, the following list must be delivered within the specified time, and the price of armament will be the same unit price of the same product delivered in the previous batch.

The list is as follows:

Bradley armored infantry vehicles 450 units.

Bradley delivered 200 cars.

150 Brad combat command vehicles.

Bradley anti-aircraft vehicles, fire support, rescue vehicles, catering vehicles, 480 units.

Crusader field artillery series, 520 units.

M9 armored combat bulldozers 150 units.

Grizzly Bears minesweeper and obstacle breaker 55 vehicles.

In addition, it is necessary to cooperate with Martin to manufacture 150 sets of shipborne vertical launch systems VLS.

and 2,000 sets of the Bradley training system, which is responsible for training recruits so that GIs can learn to drive the Bradley series of vehicles before they see them.

Training location: Joint Defense-Apolis Ordnance Systems Division.

After Xu Fei saw it, he suddenly felt comfortable.

This is called a defense contractor.

After the FMC takes over the R&D project and manufacturing project of the 'Bradley' series, after delivering the first order, if the North American military department has a need in the future and has no ideas for improving the product, it will automatically lose the order to the FMC.

The price, on the other hand, is the unit price of the last order.

In the same way, Boeing's fighters, Raytheon's warships, and Electric's submarines should be the same.

As for the joint defense subdivision described in the list.

Actually, there are five.

South Carolina-Aiken Ground Systems Division,

Minnesota-Apolis Ordnance Systems Division,

Pennsylvania-Chambersburg 'Chivalry' Production Division,

Santa Clara, California,

Alabama-Anniston Steel Products Division.

When he first went to North America, Xu Fei was only active in Boston and had not been to these places.

To put it simply, the Joint Defense Headquarters is responsible for overall planning, and the two main factories of Harsco and FMC are responsible for manufacturing raw materials and basic components.

Branches throughout the country are responsible for assembly, inspection, delivery, as well as contracting for the overall inspection, repair and maintenance of marine ordnance.

In addition, the task of producing projection weapon systems and developing new equipment for future warships is at hand.

For example, the next generation of naval guns and electric cannons.

For example, the next generation of fire control systems.

For example, armed robots.

It's not that Xu Fei deliberately ignored these, but the joint defense headquarters was BOOM, Harsco and FM, and the loss of personnel and the shortage of funds always had to slowly restore the original business.

Now, in the past six months, thousands of engineers and more than 200 Navy SEALs have been invested, and now United Defense is the real defense contractor.

Otherwise, how could Strauss get acquainted with so many veteran arms dealers?

Xu Fei stared at the order for a long time, and asked United Defense to transfer the research and development project of the 'armed robot' to the iron company.

As we all know, the iron sheet company has been among the best in the world in the field of robotics, and even dares to call it the first in the industry.

Well, the toy industry.

No way, the little devil's robot uses highly integrated digital circuits, and in terms of logic and calculation, it is more advanced than the hybrid version of the 'mechanical toy' assembled by the house.

Of course, if you take out a terrifying robot and a remote-controlled tank, you will definitely kill the other party in seconds.

But you can't take it out at home, otherwise, even Germany can't keep the German Iron Sheet Company.

After all, a Kirov has put a lot of pressure on the German governor, and if it weren't for Forman and the Berlin Parliament to resist, maybe the Iron Sheet Company would have been bought by a North American consortium at a low price.

In short, capital is bloody.

And this blood, not only the oppression of labor, but also all kinds of plunder.

"Down with capitalism!"

Xu Fei roared angrily, scaring the vicious dog squatting next to him and napping, and also frightened the second sister who was gnawing on the apple and accidentally bit her lip.

"What's your nerves?"

"I'm sorry."

"Look at me, I'm bleeding and I have to pay compensation."

"Heh, Erni, are you talking to the director of the factory?"

"Believe it or not, I'll go to the cafeteria later, and when I see people, I will say that you bitten."

“……”

"Huh?"

"You don't have to wash your socks this week."

"Not enough."

"This month."

"Not enough."

"Stay unwashed for life."

"That's pretty much it."

The second sister sucked her lips and went to the Citizen Hospital.

Xu Fei patted the vicious dog's head, "In the future, the socks will trouble you." ”

“……”

"Don't worry, go back and ask the third secretary to buy you a nanny outfit, let's wear it formally, and then the whole washboard... Alas? Why are you going? Damn, my dog killed himself by hitting the wall! ”

………

Afternoon.

Xu Fei finished his shift meal and continued to browse the information to find out the reason why there were so many additional military orders in North America.

In the first half of this year, Enron went bankrupt, leading to a downturn in the energy industry and the collapse of Arthur Andersen, the world's No. 1 accounting firm.

】

Arthur Andersen led to the scandal of WorldCom's false accounts and false profits of huge profits, and WorldCom went bankrupt.

WorldCom has twice the size of Enron's funds, reaching $103.9 billion, making it the largest corporate bankruptcy in North America's history.

In the middle of the year, the financial turmoil caused by Carlyle vs Tee made Washington Mutual Bank crumbling, and customers were worried about its bankruptcy, and took out 16 billion US dollars in 10 days, and then made it really bankrupt, involving 327.9 billion yuan, as for where the money went, no one knows, and finally sold it to Morgan for 1.6 billion US dollars.

Later, the Hazara oil field was discovered, crude oil prices plummeted, and California Energy went bankrupt, involving 36 billion US dollars.

In the second half of the year, the Internet bubble burst, the Nasdaq evaporated 1.5 trillion, and 80% of the funds flowed to the European Union.

Subsequently, countless Internet bankruptcies and many IT industries were implicated, resulting in the bankruptcy of Globecom, the most powerful communications company in North America, involving 29 billion US dollars.

Then.

The financially constricted 'Consai Finance and Insurance' declared bankruptcy, involving $61 billion.

After the deindustrialization of North America, finance prevailed.

So much money is missing, countless investors have lost all their money, and countless families are in debt.

Except for Boston, which is relatively stable, unemployment and crime rates in other cities have risen sharply, and Philadelphia, which lost two factories, has almost become a bankrupt city.

Xu Fei knew about each of the above things, but he never thought about it intensively.

Now the relevant information has been sorted out......

"If the Hazara oil field runs out of oil, it will not only cause more companies to go bankrupt, but also cause fuel prices to skyrocket."

"At that time, there is a chance that North America will usher in a crude oil crisis + financial crisis."

"It's a disaster for sure."

At the same time, it also shows that Morgan has told the people behind the scenes in North America about the lack of crude oil in the Hazara oil field.

This is not surprising, Morgan is a North American capitalist and a beneficiary of the capital world, and after the other party preserves itself, the second is to protect the interests of North America.

"Morgan is crazy about buying crude oil from OPEC, and even has orders scheduled until '03."

"When the Hazara oil field is out of oil, the global crude oil price will rise sharply."

"It's equivalent to saying that what to invest in now is not as good as investing in crude oil."

"Therefore, North America is more profitable to seize the oil fields of the other country than to grab the treasury."

"But in the expansion, after the plane hit the building, it was Ah Fu who hit."

"And Afghanistan has no crude oil ......"

Xu Fei looked at the map for a long time, and took a pencil to circle the countries in West Asia that held crude oil.

It doesn't matter who you beat, let's look for them one by one, and then reveal what North America is doing, and tell the other party: The big brother is going to beat you.

And I can help you improve your ability to resist hits.

"When the time comes, the disassembled version of the Rhino Chariot and the disassembled version of the V series rocket...... It seems that we have to study some more woolly bear-style killers. ”

"By the way, the Hadza people have lost their cities, and more than 100,000 people are hiding in the ravines, and it is difficult to survive this winter."

"For the sake of Victor's hard work, he has to help others."

"If a batch of cellars are dug in the ravine, a construction plant is laid, and a basic production line is placed for the assembly of the reduced version of the Rhino, the reduced version of the V-series rocket, and even the production of the Turbulent ......"

A few steamed buns are wages, and they also save freight and avoid exposing themselves.

"The Haza people who have been oppressed by capital, Director Xu has come to rescue you."

Xu Fei immediately contacted the SEAL liaison - Ron, and asked the other party to operate, find a transport ship from the Incheon Military Port, and transfer the core of the secondary base left in Nambangzi for the production of toad monsters to West Asia.

The secondary base core, unlike the primary base core, cannot be recovered remotely, and does not have the ability to move.

But having engineers install a few wheels and find a few tractors to tow to Hazara along the route left by the previous tanker trucks to transport crude oil is not a problem.

………

October 1st.

The mud Olympics have come to an end.

The number of medals in China has entered the top three unprecedentedly.

Congratulations.

In the past two days, Foreman once again sold five batches of low-grade material packages, bringing 2.5 billion US dollars to himself.

After Xu Fei went to work, he counted the inventory of airship materials, counted the remaining metal resources, and took advantage of the rise in steel prices to 3 cents per catty, and placed orders worth 2 billion red banknotes to Shougang and others.

This year's steel production has exploded, and it is estimated that the official is too lazy to count.

Maybe the people who counted the number of reports are now on vacation.

Just wait for January 1 and fill in the value of '25% increase over last year'.

As for the real production......

There's a phrase in the expansion that says it perfectly.

The world's steel production is the first in the East, the second is Beihe, the third is Shantang, and the fourth is the part that Shantang concealed.

The only trouble is that the more you use your own rare earths, the less they use.

In fact, they chose a small island in the depths of the Great Plains Ocean to build a shipyard, mainly for rare earths.

Since those illegal rare earth dealers have raised prices, we simply don't buy them, and just wait in the depths of the ocean.

As long as the other side drives a boat out to sea without permission, there is a radar with a range of 1,000 kilometers in the air command, no matter how much the other side transports out, it is ours.

It's a pity that the flying island is gone, and the shipyard-branch project is directly yellow.

Xu Fei pondered for a moment and applied for 100,000 tons of rare earth ore in the name of Hongqi Automobile Factory's research and development of precision components such as electrical systems and bearings.

Money?

What's the money?

We have our own people inside.

After the operation, Xu Fei just planned to pack his things, take the special big red flag, and take the small road to Hazara secretly.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the newly bought LCD TV yesterday, which was broadcasting current affairs information about the volley explosion of the third brother's airship.

"I said a long time ago, it's not safe to buy a low-class package, look, something happened."
