Sitting on the plane, looking at the white clouds outside the window, Wang Ye had a lot of thoughts.

The trip to Tanzania in Africa, on the whole, was successful, first of all, the establishment of the Iron Fist Security Company, the successful completion of personnel recruitment, the smooth implementation of a series of training, the progress is very good, fully in line with the expected goal, that is, in mid-April to enter Saudi Arabia to fight.

Not to mention, an additional order was received for fifty million dollars from the Americans.

In addition to the Iron Fist Security Company, the rest is the Red Star Consortium Office in Tanzania, judging from the current business situation, with the improvement of the market recognition of the Red Star brand and the increasing variety of products of the Red Star brand, the future development of this office is bound to be stable and good, and will become the bridgehead for the Red Star Consortium to enter Africa.

In addition to the goals in these two plans, there are some surprises.

For example, the sudden return of Akandi led to the death of Blake, followed by the car bomb attack launched by the African Resistance Front, which led to the consortium winning the first purchase from the Hexagon, and then because of the right price, it continued to win the subsequent long-term orders from the Hexagoon for Africa.

In the end, because of the long-term orders of the Hexagon, it was watched by some arms consortiums and the Hexagonal in the United States, and it also obtained the ticket to enter the American civilian arms market.

In addition, this business will fulfill the treaty in Wang Ye's previous "strategic cooperation" agreement, that is, to help the Luqi Provincial Ammunition Factory, which is also a third-line factory, to achieve a real 'military-to-civilian' transformation, from eating subsidies at a complete loss to earning dollars and creating foreign exchange to start making a profit.

Even not only the Luqi Provincial Ammunition Factory, with this admission ticket, many domestic ammunition factories can turn losses into profits, because the scale of the US civilian arms market is too large, according to the "Mr. Middleman" said, in the first year to provide ammunition worth 500 million US dollars, this Luqi Provincial Ammunition Factory alone cannot be completed, and other ammunition factories need to join.

As you can imagine, this is a carnival in the field of the military industry.

And I have to say that Americans are also good at drawing big pies, and to be honest, the gun project mentioned by "Mr. Middleman" also made Wang Ye feel very excited.

Of course, the excitement here is not because "Mr. Middleman" said that the Red Star Consortium can buy the patented technology and production lines of a variety of civilian firearms in the United States.

After all, for Wang Ye, the design and technology of these guns do not need to be purchased at all, whether it is the technology in his mind, or directly buying a few finished products to imitate, he can achieve this purpose.

And there is really no need to buy it, because fundamentally speaking, the "sophistication" of firearms depends on the design on the one hand, and the level of manufacturing on the other.

From the design level, the firearm is not a complex mechanical structure, there is no need for a large amount of basic accumulation, which is different from aircraft and tanks, so it is not critical whether to introduce technology and production lines, in essence, the Americans also understand this, they just take this opportunity to "kick back".

In addition, from the level of manufacturing, if the level of domestic manufacturing is not high enough, even if the design is good, it is useless, it is said that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, which is what it means, even if the designed gun is world-class, but because the processing accuracy is not enough, it cannot be produced in large quantities, it is meaningless.

As a simple example, it is not uncommon for two guns of the same model to not be able to exchange magazines, the reason is the problem of machining accuracy, and the reason why it can be matched is because when it leaves the factory, the workers "grind one" to process, in a sense, this time is the "craftsman high-end".

All in all, with this "civilian firearms admission ticket", Wang Ye believes that two purposes can be achieved.

The first purpose, of course, is to make money, there is no doubt about that.

The second purpose is to be an "experimental platform", in the past 30 years, the largest domestic procurement users of weapons will still be the army, and the number of exports is very small, and this situation has led to a key problem, that is, the lack of "experimental window" for firearms designers.

Any product, there is no development without a market, and because of the large scale of the domestic army, coupled with the lack of money, the standard for purchasing weapons is not a "world-class gun", as for the reason is very simple, everyone knows good things, but to purchase one or two million expensive good guns, how can you have so much money in your pocket?

Therefore, the design idea of controlling the cost began to prevail, in this case, coupled with the problem of the development direction, the money was given to the Air Force and the Navy, and the relevant scientific research institutions had no money, so they had to engage in pragmatism, resulting in less research in the field of high-precision firearms, and the final result was that there was no world-class light weapons in China.

However, with this admission ticket is different.

In this day and age, as long as good weapons can be designed and then produced in small batches, then the final sale will not be a problem, after all, the Americans have money!

In this way, a positive cycle can be formed, and scientific research will be cultivated in the US market, and eventually these scientific research results can be applied to domestic equipment to produce cheap and easy-to-use weapons.

Finally, when a good weapon appears, it will inevitably be able to obtain orders from the international market, truly go global, and become a well-known "world-class gun" around the world.

Of course, all of the above are new guns and new ammunition, and at present, there are still a large number of old guns and ammunition in China.

It is said that the current domestic bullets are basically all "steel-shelled copper-clad bullets", but because of the lack of copper in China, in the end, I don't even want to dig out the copper plating, because the copper plating is also copper, and it is very difficult to recycle.

However, if the cartridge case does not have a little copper, it is not good, because the steel is harder and the copper is softer, and the copper metal has the characteristics of self-lubrication, if there is no copper outside the cartridge case, it is all steel, then it will not be able to draw the shell after firing, and the wear and tear of the gun chamber is very serious, in this case, the enameled cartridge case begins to appear, that is, the special paint is used to replace the copper plating of the cartridge case.

In normal history, from the mid-eighties, enameled bullets were massively replaced by copper-clad bullets.

However, after the replacement, there are still a lot of original copper-clad bullets left, and even if they are splashed with water, they can't be used up, and there are also a large number of 56 semi-automatic rifles that are no longer suitable for the battlefield, which need to be dealt with urgently.

In the past, thanks to the existence of the honeymoon period, these were "dumped" to the United States at extremely low prices, which greatly annoyed the American arms groups, and finally under their instigation, the export was completely banned.

So this time, since he has hooked up with these arms groups, Wang Ye naturally has to find a way to maximize benefits, and the easiest way is to sell at the right price.

For example, the 56 semi-automatic rifle is not too much to sell for two hundred dollars, unlike in the past history, when it was sold for sixty or seventy dollars, even if it was less, it angered those arms groups, and finally the business was not allowed to be done for a few years.

There are also copper-clad bullet shells, which are sold for thirty cents per round is also good, after all, the bullets produced in the United States are normally sold for about fifty cents each, and in normal history, the domestic copper-clad shell is exported at a low price of ten cents, and even when it is discounted on Black Friday, ten cents are not used.

"However, we want to market guns on a large scale in the U.S. market."

"I still need to touch again!"

Thinking of this, Wang Ye took a sip of the water cup in front of him, and at the same time continued to save up some gains and losses from this trip to Africa.

Those just now are all areas that have gained a lot, but of course, there are some aspects that are not satisfactory.

For example, in terms of the most critical aspect of in-depth cooperation, Wang Ye originally thought that he could initially reach a part of the cooperation this time, but because of Blake's death, because of the emergence of the Akandi Restoration Congress, and because of the refusal of the United States' request to send troops, the in-depth cooperation is almost in the middle of the road, and there seems to be no follow-up.

However, Wang Ye was not worried, and even thought that this might not be a bad thing.

The reason is simple, the African battlefield appeared, and the United States itself ended.

The fate of the United States can be very easy to understand, because for the Black Palace, this is about the face of the "Great America", the face of the hegemon is very important, it is something that must be maintained, and it does not choose to cooperate with the Iron Fist Security Company, it is also for the sake of face, although it is trying to win over the East, but it must not be manipulated by the East, from a practical point of view, the Black Palace's approach is right, and even if Wang Ye sits in the Oval Office of the Black Palace, he will give the same order.

As for the US arms groups, this is also what they are happy to see, because only when they fight can they make more money, and for them, making money is the biggest truth, and they don't really care about how many American GIs die.

In response to each other, the United States and France and Britain came to the end in person.

But in Wang Ye's view, their problems have also begun, because judging from the experience of the next 40 years, the advanced high-tech troops of the United States are not suitable for fighting this kind of guerrilla warfare and security warfare in a foreign land, and the blood and resilience of the people of the world are by no means as fragile as the United States expected.

It is only when the United States is sinking deeper and deeper into the quagmire of war that they will need a helper to help them get out of the quagmire.

And in this world, there is actually only one country that can provide the rope for the United States to grasp, and what Wang Ye has to do is to stand on the shore and watch, constantly asking the United States to exchange all kinds of good things for the rope, and at the same time, these ropes are not too strong, they must be pulled and broken, so that the United States feels that it seems to be out of trouble, and it seems that it is not out of trouble, and finally let the quagmire of war swallow up more and more of their flesh and blood.

It is precisely because of this that it is not difficult to imagine.

The United States, which is already mired in the quagmire of war, will become more and more urgent as they sink deeper and deeper, and at that time, it will be much easier to negotiate conditions.

Not to mention, in fact, from the emergence of "Mr. Middleman", the "deep cooperation" between the Red Star Consortium and the United States has actually begun, but not in the form of a large contract, but from a small contract, the first step tentatively has been taken, and with the first step, there will be the second and third steps in the future.

As long as the interests are sufficient and the situation allows, for the capitalists of Lao Mei, there is nothing that cannot be sold.

Finally, there is another thing that Wang Ye regrets, that is, in the past 20 days or so, Wang Ye has passed through a variety of channels, and has not contacted the staff of the Soviet Union, whether it is high or low.

As for Villa and Cardazo, Wang Ye has completely given up.

It's not because of the difficulty, but after the car bomb attack in Cairo, Egypt, Wang Ye felt that his ideas and plans in the past were too optimistic, Ka Dazuo is capricious and has no bottom line, it's better not to hook up with him directly, if he wants to buy a pickup truck, then buy it openly, if he doesn't come, then forget it, after all, there is no need to make enemies to the entire Western countries, or even half the world, because of one Ka Dazuo.

And the facts have proved that the domestic people are really accurate, last year Kadazo went to the country, and in the end none of the farts left, indicating that this person does have a problem.

"Anyway, go home!"

"I don't know what's going on inside the factory, the expansion has already begun, so it shouldn't be so fast that I can't even recognize it when I go back, right?"

Thinking of this, Wang Ye had a faint longing on his face, and leaned on the seat and fell asleep.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon of March 26, domestic time, the plane arrived at Yanjing International Airport.

"Director Wang! Welcome! Welcome! Put out the welcome mat! ”

"Welcome home! Hahaha! ”

As soon as the door of the plane opened, Wang Ye saw an acquaintance, who was a small leader surnamed Jia from the Fifth Aircraft Department.

"Thank you! Thank you! It's too polite to lead you. ”

"Spring hasn't officially started yet, where did you get such a bouquet of flowers?"

I saw the leader who came to greet him standing under the gangway, and a female comrade standing next to him, holding a huge bouquet of flowers in her arms, it was obvious that this was for herself, Wang Ye hurriedly walked down the gangway, and said with a smile, the spring cold in Yanjing at the end of March is still a little precipitous, obviously this is not a flower that grows locally.

"Hey! Director Wang, you'll know tomorrow. ”

Hearing Wang Ye say this, this Jia leader shook hands with Wang Ye vigorously and said with a smile, and then Wang Ye took the huge handful of flowers from the female comrade next to him, only to see that this bouquet of flowers looked very fresh, and there seemed to be some dewdrops on it, and at the same time, he could smell the rich fragrance of flowers.

Subsequently, the two sides stood there and exchanged a few words, and the leader of Jia warmly invited and said:

"Director Wang, you don't wear much, the spring breeze is a little cold, let's not stand."

"I think let's get in the car, shall we? Sit in the car and continue to chat! ”

Tanzania is the hottest time now, to be honest, Wang Ye just got off the plane and really didn't get used to it, nodded with a smile and said:

"Okay, let's get in the car!"

Then the two of them got into the Hongqi car next to them, Wang Ye and this Jia leader sat in the back row, and this Jia leader said with a smile:

"The day before yesterday, I learned that Director Wang was coming back, and the leaders were very happy."

"Old Zhou has been talking about it for many days, why haven't you come back, Old Wei has called here every once in a while to ask when you will come back, hehe."

"Actually, the two leaders want to come to the airport to greet them in person, Director Wang, you know, but I've been too busy lately, so I really haven't timed it."

Regarding this Jia leader's explanation, Wang Ye waved his hand and said indifferently:

"Hey, the leaders are not only leaders, but also my elders, how can I let the elders come to greet the younger generations, the weather is not warm, they are all so old, let's not engage in that set of formalistic things."

Hearing Wang Ye say this, this Jia leader nodded with a smile, and then said:

"Director Wang doesn't know, there have been too many things recently."

"Our Fifth Aircraft Department is also very busy, because there are many people from Iraq and Iran who want to buy our things, and they are talking about it recently."

"As for the Ministry of Defense, alas!"

"There are too many people in the army now, and the leaders have already made up their minds, and they are holding a meeting recently."
