Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1009, Machine Tools

American goods?

 Lawrence?

 Zhang Yong immediately thought of this.

 Is the machine tool coming?

 The speed is good. It deserves praise.

 Just say that going through formal channels is the most troublesome. The speed is also the slowest. Taking the wrong path is the fastest.

 But the biggest drawback of going sideways is that it cannot be used in large quantities.

 It can only be done in small batches. If the quantity is too high, people will target you.

 Alas, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.

 Go back to Wusongkou Pier immediately. I saw a beautiful Chinese cargo ship flying the stars and stripes in the distance.

 A marked white dot enters the edge of the map. I checked and found out it was Lawrence. Oh, he should be the first to get the news. Then came to pick up the goods.

 Okay, just meet Lawrence face to face. So I waited for him at the entrance of the pier.

Over there, near the entrance of the concession, the temporary inspection team office area has been basically completed.

 Lawrence stopped the car. get off. Walked towards Zhang Yong.

"What's up?"

 Place in a few more people. If you win later, you can just take them in in advance. If you have a long-term perspective, you probably won’t refuse.

 Money is no problem.

 The roads in Sichuan and Chongqing are very worrying.

 Zhang Yong waved his hand.

"open."

 The memory is still fresh.

 “Langdon is going to be elected president.”

 When he was a child, Zhang Yong usually dismantled things at home. This was basically the case.

 Suddenly thought of Qi Jiuding. It seems like he can do it too?

"open…"

 Half the work is actually completed when the goods are delivered to Wusongkou Terminal. Not even half.

 “What did you hear?”

 In other words, it requires not only strength but also technology. Otherwise, if you dismantle it, you won’t be able to put it back together.

  “Say it.”

 If he doesn’t go, ask someone else to go.

 Soon, Lawrence arrived.

Catch the duck and put it on the shelf.

 Zhang Yong nodded with satisfaction.

 “Say it this way.”

 Only responsible for disassembly, not assembly. I was taught by my irritable mother every day.

 Canceled the 026 logistics base and let Shi Bingdao be responsible for handling machine tools.

 “Zhang, have you heard?”

 If it is a large machine tool, it must be disassembled. Broken down into transportable parts. Then when you get to your destination, reassemble it.

"Thanks."

 Have to take a train. To make a ship. Then someone has to carry it on their shoulders.

Zhang Yong then followed him to the open space next to him.

 Just in time, the 026 Logistics Base can almost be cancelled.

 All personnel can be transferred there.

 Lawrence is mysterious.

 Indicated that Yuan Zheng was arranging dock workers to prepare for unloading.

 “The goods you requested have arrived.”

 With Zhang Yong's guarantee, he doesn't need to hide. You can go out and do some activities.

 Next, we have to find a way to deliver all the goods to Sichuan and Chongqing.

 “Mr Lawrence.”

 He drives a half-new Buick sedan.

 “Langdon?”

 Very close to the concession. Going out is the concession. Convenient for future work.

  Anyway, Zhang Yong relied on the Red Party. Just say whether you are willing or not.

 He can make money. But there is no way to do technology.

 Zhang Yong looked at Lawrence suspiciously.

This guy, where did he hear this bad news?

 What nonsense!

 From now on, the president of the United States will be Franklin Roosevelt!

 It’s Roosevelt!

 It’s Roosevelt!

 Say important things three times.

"right."

"Who told you that?"

 “Some of my friends at the New York Times.”

 “Oh? You still have friends in the New York Times? I didn’t expect that!”

“Why did they think Langdon would be elected president?”

“Because they conducted a large-scale public opinion survey and sent out more than 10 million questionnaires, and received more than 2 million questionnaires. As a result, Langdon was far ahead..."

 “Far ahead?”

“Yes. Fifteen percentage points ahead! It’s a completely crushing advantage!”

 “Haha. They are all wrong.”

"But…"

"Lawrence, if you want a new life, listen to me. Hold on to President Roosevelt's lap."

"But…"

"In this way, I guarantee that you can clear your name. You can also be a state representative in the future."

"But…"

“There are still three months to go before the general election will be decided. You have been waiting for so many years, can’t you wait even three months?”

"I…"

"If you think I'm wrong, let's make a clean break."

"no…"

 Lawrence's voice gradually faded.

All right. Three months to go. Just wait. Zhang Yong is right. You’ve waited for so long, what’s three months?

By then, if Zhang Yong is proven wrong, it will not be too late to make other choices.

 Even if it gets worse, it won’t be any worse than it is now.

So we changed the topic.

“The machine tools you want are fifty sets in total.”

"good."

“There are still some production tailings. I have also arranged for people to load them.”

"Thanks."

 Two people entered the dock. Check out the boat.

 As a result, Zhang Yong only glanced at it, and his mood suddenly became gloomy.

 So old…

 There is dust everywhere.

 The machine tool was covered with dirty oil stains.

 There are even bird droppings on many machine tools. I don’t know where I was targeted by the birds.

 First impression was very bad.

  Turning to look at Lawrence. frown. Suspect.

“Isn’t it an abandoned machine tool?”

"Absolutely not. We made it old on purpose. We used it in the name of scrapped steel. Otherwise, we wouldn't have left the country so quickly." Lawrence explained calmly.

 Zhang Yong:…

believe? Do not believe?

“See for yourself. They are just old. But not damaged.”

 Lawrence was very calm.

 Zhang Yong checked carefully. That seems to be the case?

 It just looks a bit old on the outside. However, the machine tool itself is intact. There are no missing arms or legs.

 “If you don’t make it old, you will be intercepted by the Coast Guard.”

"All right."

 Zhang Yong accepted this explanation.

 The Coast Guard of the beautiful country is also a combat force.

 Once intercepted, it’s a no-brainer.

 At present, the sales of scrap steel in the United States are very fierce.

 Most of the scrap steel was bought by the Japanese invaders.

  Overtly or covertly.

 There are some buyers who are not Japanese invaders. But in the end it fell into the hands of the Japanese invaders.

  It can be said that a considerable part of the annual steel production of the Japanese invaders is the reprocessing of scrap steel in the United States.

 Including the construction of the Yamato Inn.

Without the large-scale sales of scrap steel by the beautiful country, the Japanese invaders would not be able to obtain sufficient steel production.

From this perspective, scrap steel is also a rope around the necks of the Japanese invaders. If it is tightened at a critical moment, someone will die.

In fact, later on, the beautiful country tightened the sale of scrap steel, and the Japanese invaders suddenly felt that they could no longer bear it. Plus oil embargo. In the end, the dog jumped over the wall, made a desperate move, and took the risk of launching the Pacific War. Then, he really lost his life.

“They are all matched with Springfield M1903 rifles…”

 “This is stamping…”

 “This is forging…”

 “This is seamless steel pipe drilling…”

 “This is the rifling…”

 Lawrence's careful introduction.

 Zhang Yong gradually felt relieved.

 Indeed, Lawrence did quite well in this matter.

 All the machine tools needed to manufacture 7.62mm rifles are here. Ready to assemble.

 Attention, it is not the Springfield M1903 rifle.

That is a patented product of someone else's Springfield Company.

 Lawrence's men set up their own company to produce a different kind of rifle.

  Similarly uses 7.62*63mm bullets. But the structure and style are different. The name they gave themselves was the Salo Rifle.

 These don’t matter.

 Any rifle is fine. The key is that the bullets are universal.

 When it comes to China, they are all called Citigroup Zhongzheng...

Of course, other supporting facilities, such as electricity, etc., need to be provided by yourself. Diesel generators can also be used. But the diesel must be provided by oneself.

 No ammunition.

 There is no bullet production line.

 It’s not that Lawrence didn’t give it. It's no use even to himself.

 In this beautiful country, the production of bullets and the production of firearms are often two separate industries.

 The bullets are all standard. It is not economical to produce it yourself. the cost is too high.

 They are all produced by large companies.

 Zhang Yong certainly knew that the lack of an ammunition production line was a big flaw. But there is no solution for the time being.

 From a purely technical perspective, the technology for producing bullets is higher than that for producing firearms. real. Firearms can be counterfeited. However, bullets cannot be copied.

 The quality requirements for bullets are very high. Otherwise, it will either misfire or explode.

what to do?

He doesn’t know yet.

 Salad…

 Let’s finish the rifle production line first.

 Whatever you can get is what you can get now. It's not that you get whatever you want.

 Suddenly I thought of those Italians...

Do they have a way to get an ammunition production line?

 As long as there is a production line, the model and specifications of the bullets can be adjusted...

Of course, firearms are also available. And it's easier.

Jin made Thomson by changing the caliber from 11.43 mm to 7.63 mm. In order to match the use of shell gun bullets.

Headache…

These are all technical issues. He couldn't handle it.

  Turning to look at Lawrence.

 “Can we get an ammunition production line?”

 “Can’t get it.”

"Why?"

“Today’s ammunition production lines are all owned by big companies…”

 “Not eliminated?”

“Yes. But it’s very expensive. At least one million dollars.”

"this…"

 Zhang Yong had no choice but to shut up. One million U.S. dollars. Just listen. Where to do it.

 “Commissioner.”

 “Start unloading!”

"yes."

Yuan Zheng then went to make arrangements.

Hundreds of dockworkers were summoned to prepare for work.

 A ship full of machines, all of which are machine tools, is definitely a big job.

 Zhang Yong called Shi Bingdao. Let him come to the dock.

 Half an hour later, Shi Bingdao arrived. Looking at all this with confusion.

This guy brought back a boatload of something?

 “I want you to transport all of them to Chengdu.”

"What?"

“These are machine tools for producing rifles. I want you to find a way to transport them to Chengdu. Then install them. Then put them into production.”

"I?"

Shi Bingdao was stunned.

 No, such a big job? Push it all to me?

sky!

 Commissioner Zhang, you are so rude!

 It’s a long way from here to Chengdu. How long does it take to transport so many machine tools?

 “I will pay for the expenses.”

"this…"

 “You take care of everything else.”

"I…"

“If you can’t figure it out, find someone who can.”

 “Who am I looking for?”

 “If you have any difficulties, contact the organization.”

"you…"

Shi Bingdao was speechless.

This guy really depends on himself.

 Not only does it depend on oneself, but also depends on the organization behind oneself.

 You’re really welcome!

but!

 “And then use it to beat us?”

 “Used to kill the Japanese invaders.”

 “I can’t make the decision.”

 “I know. I’ll give you a week to study it.”

"good."

Shi Bingdao agreed.

 One week is enough time to weigh the pros and cons in all aspects.

 Zhang Yong said no more words. Leave the rest to Yuan Zheng. Then he took Lawrence back to the concession.

 It matters if you are still making money.

 These days, money is everywhere.

 No amount of money is enough.

 Just buying an obsolete ammunition production line will cost you millions of dollars!

  If you want to produce bullets, various raw materials are also a huge expense. Therefore, we must obtain as many raw materials as possible.

 Domestic chemical companies are basically blank. The hardest thing to get is the propellant.

 So, try every means to stock up.

 Store as much as you can. Never worry about being stretched to death.

 During World War II, the United States produced more than 40 billion rounds of ammunition. How much can you produce yourself? Four hundred million?

That is also a very scary number.

 It must be known that the Eighth Route Army consumed about 100 million ammunition during the entire Anti-Japanese War.

 Even if it is to produce 40 million rounds, it will be a considerable boost.

 Alas, there is still a long way to go...

 Enter the coffee shop. sit down.

“Mr. Lawrence, do you know someone from the New York Times?”

 “Know one or two, two or three…”

 “Are they well paid?”

"What?"

 “How much do they earn per week?”

 “Thirty dollars, maybe. With other income, maybe fifty dollars.”

“That’s about two hundred dollars a month. About three thousand dollars a year. If it’s a little more, maybe five thousand dollars a year. Am I right?”

 “Absolutely. It shouldn’t be more than five thousand dollars. They are considered well-paid.”

“What’s the usual price for asking them to write an article?”

“For the front page, it’s about $20 per thousand words. Other pages are a little lower.”

“What if we wrote the manuscript, sent it to him, and then published it in his name?”

“It’s hard to say. It’s not certain whether it can be published.”

"Okay. Let me be blunt. I need to publish some of our own articles in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and Time Magazine. No front page. But more than three times a month. Ask your friends what they need. price tag.”

"what are you up to?"

 “Do something personal.”

 Zhang Yong did not reveal much.

 He is also a vague idea. Not finalized yet.

In addition to telegrams, a little bit of public opinion is also needed to make false information appear more real.

 The ultimate goal is, of course, to make money.

 But before you can make money, you still need to be willing to invest.

  Confuse the false with the true.

 Let other people believe it.

In this way, people will be willing to come to the door and take the initiative to pay.

 Finished the meal.

Laurence took his leave and went back.

 Zhang Yong went to Masnan Road.

 Master Kong’s one hundred thousand dollars! The payment location is there.

 Zhang Yong really needs money now.

There are so many stocks and so many oil fields, all of which can be bought at the bottom!

 If you have too many shares, you will definitely attract others’ attention. But if every company has less than 5%, it doesn't matter.

 In fact, even 1% of the shares require a large amount of US dollars to purchase.

 For example, Mobil Oil Company's stock, 1%, is worth tens of millions.

 In a word, money is never enough.

 Especially for someone like him who needs to make as much money as possible in a short period of time.

 Arrived at the destination. But found that there was nothing abnormal here. It seems like it came up short?

  Not willing to give in.

 Sit patiently.

 As a result, one night passed and nothing was found.

 Have no choice but to give up.

 Dark circles under the eyes. Go back and rest.

wake up. Change the action group. Keep working.

 Determined to kill all opponents.

 In addition to eating and sleeping, I work day and night. Let’s see who can finish last!

This time Shi Hu is leading the team.

 Go to Italian Street.

 Prepare to talk to Tanavaro about how to get aircraft spare parts.

 As a result, as soon as we got closer, we noticed something was wrong. There are actually three red dots in Italian Street. All of them also bear weapons markings.

 Around the red dots, there are a lot of white dots. They also all bear weapons symbols. All motionless.

Whether it is a red dot or a white dot, they all seem to be still.

curious. What's happening here?

 Are the Japanese invaders trying to conquer Italy Street? Called directly to your door?

So arrogant?

The Italians who came out of Sicily were actually defeated by three Japanese invaders?

surprise.

ˆCheck the weapon icon quietly.

 The first red dot carries two Browning M1935 pistols. Five magazines.

 It’s really awesome.

 Double guns. There is plenty of ammunition. Suitable for melee combat.

  The second red dot. The weapon turned out to be a Mosin-Nagant rifle. More than thirty rounds of ammunition.

 Be secretly vigilant.

 This Japanese invader may not be simple.

  actually used a rifle. It's still bolted. It is estimated that the speed of pulling the bolt is extremely fast.

 The rifle can actually defeat the pistol, which is really powerful.

 The third red dot. The weapon was an English 77 rifle. There are also more than thirty rounds of ammunition.

Ying Qiqi's firepower is more powerful than Shui Lianzhu. Because the rate of fire is faster. However, at close range, it should be no match for a pistol...

 It’s a little strange.

 The two Japanese invaders both used rifles.

 Are they all veterans of the Japanese invaders? Already used to rifles?

 Some Japanese veterans were indeed masters of rifle play. Very powerful.

It’s not surprising that the Italians from Sicily suffered a bit.

 Approach quietly. Gesture.

 An Italian gunman spotted them and stuck his head out.

result…

problem occurs.

 He was hit by a shot.

"Snapped!"

 The sound of gunshots was heard.

 Zhang Yong frowned. It was the shot of the Mosin-Nagant.

 Good guy. Kill with one shot.

 It’s a real deal. Definitely those Japanese invaders veterans.

 That's what Lin Xiaoyan said, you can hire someone for only 30 yen.

 Their number is almost unlimited. It has to be calculated in tens of thousands. Therefore, if we can’t kill them all, we can’t kill them all at all.

"boom!"

"boom!"

 Intermittently gunshots were heard.

　　is the sound of the Beretta M1934 pistol. Very messy. Nothing works.

 The three Japanese invaders are still doing well.

 A useless shot.

　　It will only indicate the target to the Japanese invaders.

 Sure enough…

Snapped!

 A gunshot was fired.

 A white dot disappears. It's obviously dead.

 Facing those ferocious Japanese veterans, basically, if you are discovered, you will die.

Although Tanavaro's men were brutal, many of them had not received formal military training. This is a fatal flaw.

 Usually gang fights and community exchanges are no problem. Stop eating when you meet a master.

It is not known whether Tanavaro is still alive. It would be a big deal if he died...

what to do?

 Touch it in?

joke.

 It will be flanked, okay?

 Hurry into the battlefield without identifying yourself, because you don’t want to die quickly enough.

 However, continuing like this is not an option.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yong took out a Somi submachine gun and fired it into the sky.

"Da da da…"

"Da da da…"

 Intensive gunshots suddenly resounded throughout the entire venue.

 Then, Zhang Yong put down the Somi submachine gun. Start waiting for Tanavarro to arrive.

 He fired to show his identity. Let Tanavaro know he's here. If he wanted to, he would come out to find him.

Thirty seconds…

One minute…

 Finally, a marked white dot appeared.

 Look, it’s Tanavaro.

 Well, he is still alive.

That’ll be fine.

 Next, it’s Zhang Yong’s performance time.
