I was a tycoon in World War I: Starting to save France - Chapter 643

Shire stayed in the town for two more days in the name of tracking tanks.

In fact, Charles are not technically difficult to improve the two improvements in tanks. It is simple to think of it. There is no need to discuss in -depth.

As for the dual -stabilization fire control system, it is for the long -term intended for the future, not to be realized in front of it.

In the past two days, Charles have discussed their own business with Djoka, mainly the development of the US military factories.

That afternoon, Charles had returned to the office building from the Tank R & D department, and Djaka handed Charles a document from Joseph from the United States.

“Joseph settled the factory in New York.” Djoka said: “He thinks it is the most suitable place for production.”

Shire nodded the file and nodded and agreed.

This decision is obviously correct. The Western Front battlefield is the target of transportation, and New York is the largest and most convenient port at the same time and the most convenient port from France.

In the future, the U.S. military participation in the war will also send troops to the Western Front, and it is also necessary to transport the equipment to France.

Therefore, it is not possible to set the factory in the center of the United States because of doing business with the United States.

(The figure above shows the major navigation line charts in the world. Two sections marked by the red line are the routes from New York to French West West. The entire route only takes 7 to 10 days. The most important port in the West line)

“The United States is indeed a good place to open a factory.” Djaka sighed: “It has low resources, cheap labor, and complete infrastructure.”

Charles looked at the data in the document and smiled slightly. These are just the opposite of the modern United States. Modern Americans are not as hard as this era.

At this time, Djoka talked: “But our business is not smooth.”

“Not too smooth?” Shire looked up at Djoka: “Which aspect is not smooth?”

“Everything.” Djoka went up and turned the document back. After finding a page, he pointed to the data and said, “This is the price and purchase volume sent by Joseph, and the market research he made for the US military. I think the result is not very optimistic. “

At first glance, all equipment was purchased at the minimum purchase volume. The unit price was only a few dollars high and more than a dozen dollars.

Charles are puzzled. Even if there is no pressure to war in the U.S. military now, many equipment is not that of the U.S. military. It should be what they need to urgently need.

For example, the Gamand Rifle has a crushing advantage compared to the U.S. military is using.

Another example is the “St. Aitian 2” light machine gun, as well as mortar. The U.S. military is blank in these areas, but the purchase volume is only a few hundred and hundreds of each month.

Then thought, Charles seemed to know the reason.

At this time, there were only 130,000 in the United States forces. Such a troops bought hundreds of machine guns and hundreds of mortars a month. They looked a lot of them. So don’t worry.

However, after reading the market research report of the U.S. military, Charles knew that this was only one of the reasons.

The U.S. military is actually preparing for the war.

The army must be prepared at any time, and even if they do not think that they will participate in the war, they must conduct training with the goal of participating in the war and upgrade equipment.

The reason why the amount of equipment is small is that the US Congress has always maintained skepticism about Shire’s equipment.

The evaluation of the Galland rifle on the Grand Parliament is:

“This rifle is too fast. The rifle is equipped with each soldier, which means that the ammunition consumption of each soldier will increase.”

“But now Both Britain and France have a state of lack of ammunition. Once the war starts, it will undoubtedly bring greater pressure on our fragile supply line that is equipped with a fast rate of fire.”

“The most serious thing is that when buying such a rifle, we can buy three three soldiers with three soldiers, and the three soldiers at the same time are enough to make up for the defects of insufficient shooting speed of Chuntian.”

(Note: About $ 85 in Galland rifle, only about $ 28 in Chuntea rifle)

Member’s evaluation of the “San Etian 2” light machine gun:

“We don’t think this is a necessary equipment.”

“Because we can’t see this machine gun compared to Mark Qin machine guns.”

“Although the Mark Qin machine gun is bulky, it has a faster rate of fire. The Germans have proven its value on the Somme battlefield!”

Evaluation of mortars:

“This is a clumsy and ridiculous weapon.”

“Simple, ugly, and more importantly, the power and range are serious.”

“Why don’t we just buy an infantry gun? Is it better than the infantry gun?”

Nympho

Shire smiled softly and paid it to Djaka with the file.

Djoka took the document and looked at Charles, with a trace of accident: “You seem to be in a hurry?”

Djaka felt that he couldn’t understand Charles, although he was his son.

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

“No, father.” Shire answered with certainty, and his tone was full of confidence: “We don’t need to worry, this situation will change, but now it is not enough, let Joseph continue to expand production capacity!”

“Okay.” Djaka was helpless, and he was almost sure that this was a loss of business.

Sher considers for a while and realized that the United States was consciously resisting his military factory.

Those words were said by congressmen, and it seems that a group of fools who don’t understand military affairs and have never experienced actual combat are talking nonsense.

But in fact…

They are not that stupid. They only need to send a few people to the Western Front to ask the soldiers who have fought in the war, and they will immediately know the role of these equipment.

Then why are there such ridiculous answers and statements?

The root cause lies in the American arms companies behind those congressmen. They don’t want the equipment produced by Charles to occupy the arms market that originally belonged to them.

So, they know that this is not the case, but they rely on the power and discourse power in their hands to suppress the truth.

Charles didn’t want to pay attention to it. He just needed to wait quietly for the United States to join the war and send troops to the Western Front. The battlefield would give the US military a shining slap in the face and expose the lies woven by the congressmen.

But then I thought:

Before the lies were exposed, the US military still purchased Springfield rifles in bulk for a long time, and even when expanding the army, the government would urgently expand the production capacity of Springfield rifles instead of Garand.

In this way, it seems that I will make much less money.

No, we must let the Americans realize the value of the Garand rifle before that.

Thinking of this, Charles said to Deyoka: “We can release a batch of Garand rifles to the public at half price.”

“Half price?” Deyoka looked at Charles in surprise: “You are crazy, Charles, this is not even enough to cover the cost!”
