Chapter 210: What is a Confession?
"I didn't know you were so interested in land warfare!"
"Nonsense, otherwise what do you think I relied on to become a general!"
"Then you think my idea is very sound?"
"Definitely, overseas deployment, field training, these things often require soldiers to establish their own field bases, what do you think, if it really has that effect as you say, it will definitely reach a new milestone in the history of military architecture! Dad, I'm a general now, and I won't lie to you!"
"Can you help me, then?"
"Of course you can, but I have a few conditions!"
"I know, what's the condition?"
"First, you must finish college, and don't go to any prestigious school, go directly to the Annapolis Military Academy, the principal is my old superior, and you will come to the Sixth Fleet after college! Second, you have to call home every month, at least three times a year, no less than a week at a time, and third, what kind of wall of yours can't be sold to the Army!"
"Ah?????h
Shepard only felt as if he was hallucinating something, this old guy was discriminating against the military just now, he must be discriminating against the military!
"First impossible, what is my current status, you let me go to the Navy as a warrant officer? I earn more in a day than a warrant officer's salary in a year, it can't be! Absolutely impossible, the second one is no problem, I promise, and the third, obviously only the Army will be interested in this thing of mine, you won't let me sell it to the Army, will it be sold to the Marines? Those poor dead ghosts didn't become beggars because of the handouts of the navy, and they have the money to buy them?"
"Shepard, don't insult beggars with Marines!"
"You're insulting the Marines, old man! Why are you doing this now?"
", who told me to carry this now!"
Looking at the horizontal bars and stars on the cuffs of the opponent's uniform, Shepard immediately understood, after all, in a certain way, the old man can be regarded as entering the inner circle, and it is normal for the crooked buttocks, how can a rear admiral say good things for the army and marines who are competing for funds with the navy! Chinese Net
"Then what do I rely on to make money, and what monopoly do I have?"
"This......... Why don't you pay a little more for the Army?"
"That's fine, I'll double their offer!"
"That's not good, you have to double it, those guys are not short of money, you can shout with confidence, if you can't figure it out, find me, I'll help you find a place!"
Shepard rolled his eyes, and said lightly, you are really not afraid of the Naval Investigation Bureau's investigation, right?
"Why don't you want to come to the Navy?"
"Isn't Mitchell here, think about it, an adult, wandering on the sea for months or even a year and a half, surrounded only by the smell of sweat and the smell of the big man who picks his feet, no TV show, no delicious snacks, no beautiful girl, isn't this hell? I'm sorry, but I'm a pleasure seeker!"
"Nonsense, how come there are no good female officers in the navy, why are there no delicious meals? You know how much a warship costs, and you're a betrayal of our family's glorious traditions!"
"When did our family have a glorious tradition of joining the Navy? Didn't my grandfather's generation just start it?"
"From my generation!"
"It's enough to have Mitchell, he's the eldest son, and he's the only one who can do it!"
"That guy has already taken on the heavy responsibility, and I have one for you!"
"Please give him this piece that troubles me, since I was a child, he has always let me, and now it's my turn to repay him!"
Old John's eyes glared at the boss, he had seen this kind of thing for the first time, and this kind of thing could make it!
"You ......"
Seeing that he and his cheap old father were going to quarrel again, Shepard wittily began to change the subject.
"When will you be promoted to lieutenant general?"
"It's still early for a lieutenant general, and this doesn't mean that you will be promoted, the appointment of a rear admiral was only issued to me at the beginning of this year......
"That's a pity, it's a pity, I originally gave it
Your lieutenant general's gift is ready!"
"You haven't given me the gift I gave to be promoted to major general!"
"That's easy!"
Shepard took out the check from his bosom, wrote five zeros with a large stroke of the pen, and then put it in front of the other party with disdain.
"Take it, buy whatever you want, you can't tell me if it's not enough!"
Old John looked at the cheque Shepard handed to him in amazement, and then he burst out laughing, and then he pushed the cheque back.
"You keep this money *** thing, there will be more places to use the money in the future, have a meal with me in the evening? Call Smith too!"
"Then I'll call someone again!"
"Female?"
"Well, Englishman, Old Man Smith introduced me to the Interior Minister of the Shadow Company!"
"British, that's good, too! It's not the Soviets, anyway!"
"Why? Because the Soviets and we are enemies?"
"Pretty much, and those guys are very rude, loud-voiced, and have terrible drinks......
Shepard also later learned that his father was once drunk by the representative sent by the latter when he was communicating with his Soviet counterparts, so the old man's sense of the Soviets has always been very poor, but he was not the only one who was poured down that time, so the so-called humiliation is purely the old man's self-brain.
After two days with his cheap old father, Shepard took Parker back to San Diego, where the factory John Sr. introduced him, which was a company that had always only engaged in naval engineering, such as dredging waterways and breaking water in military ports.
Therefore, there is no difficulty in manufacturing the explosion-proof wall made of polyethylene material and metal-lined mesh that Shepard said, and even the engineers dyed the explosion-proof wall for Shepard with navy blue, because Shepard was introduced by an old friend of the Navy, so they took it for granted that this was what the Navy needed.
The first batch of explosion-proof walls came off the production line in less than a week, and then Shepard tried the quality of these explosion-proof walls, because the time was urgent, so the quality of these explosion-proof walls was not as good as Shepard thought, but it was unexpectedly convenient to fill, and the engineer operating the excavator installed a full fifty such one-meter-square explosion-proof wall blocks in less than an hour, and then, these explosion-proof walls can be turned into emergency facilities such as field headquarters and fences through accumulation.
"I think it's pretty good, what do you think?"
"Well, it looks okay, but it needs to be tested in practice!"
Parker, who accompanied Shepard, nodded seriously and gave his professional evaluation.
"That's no problem, I'll just let them process 10,000!"
