Chapter 871 Five-Way Army

The five armies set off separately, and of course there was some moisture in them. Although Bao Shaofu also personally led a team, it was just testing inside the factory, and there was no way to start.

Oblak took a ground-effect aircraft and took two George Patton military vehicles directly to Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is also one of the important sales places for military vehicles. It is normal for potential customers to take a first look. The most important thing is that the political situation in Saudi Arabia is relatively stable in the Middle East.

For this matter, Bao Zixuan personally called Prince Sultan. Hearing that Heiyun Group was here to verify a new military vehicle, they readily agreed and said they would provide all necessary help for the new vehicle experiment.

The advantage of having good friendships with high-level officials of the same country is reflected in the fact that Sultan, an ordinary person, would not be so enthusiastic in person.

After Oblak came to Saudi Arabia, he quickly arranged for people to plan the experimental site. The task assigned to him by his boss is on a very tight schedule, so he cannot let things slip at a critical moment.

Seeing Sultan personally greeting him, Oblak didn't dare to neglect. He quickly adjusted his clothes, walked quickly to the other party, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, He Dehe, I am so flattered that you can greet me in person."

I had worked in the Middle East for a while before, so I had no problem communicating simply in Arabic. Prince Sultan felt better after hearing that the American was quite proficient in Arabic. I came here just to see the situation of Heiyun's new military vehicle for the first time. How can this guy in front of me have such a big reputation?

At least someone like the US Secretary of State or above comes to Saudi Arabia, otherwise there is no need for Sultan to greet him personally. I still have to say polite words, at least to save face.

Prince Sultan said with a smile: "Heiyun Group has close cooperation with Saudi Arabia, and this time it has put the latest military vehicles developed in Saudi Arabia for testing. As the host, of course I have to come to greet you. I am saying that I have a good personal relationship with Mr. Bao Zixuan , don’t be polite.”

"The new products developed by Heiyun will definitely not disappoint. Being able to see them for the first time is also one of the purposes of this trip."

Before coming to Saudi Arabia, of course I had some information about Saudi Arabia. Mainly the positions and spheres of influence of royal family members. As the head of the military, it is no secret that Prince Sultan has a strong interest in new weapons.

I know that the other party is interested in the boss's face and is interested in new military vehicles. Oblak was not a fool who didn't understand the world, so he quickly arranged for someone to drive the George Patton military vehicle out of the warehouse.

Seeing the two mighty and domineering military vehicles, Prince Sultan's blood boiled instantly. This is the kind of car that a man should own. When I see the Rolls-Royce next to me, I don’t like it no matter how I look at it.

Prince Sultan, who has been adventurous since he was a child, looked at Oblak and said: "This car is very good, at least I like the appearance. And it is produced by Heiyun, it must be a high-quality product. I think the performance will not be bad, can you let me Feel it."

This is a test model and the data collected is not comprehensive. There are many problems that need to be solved, and I don't dare to let him take risks because he has a lot of money.

Oblak said awkwardly: "Your Highness, this car still has many problems that have not been discovered and solved, and it needs continuous testing before it can be used by customers. Therefore, I dare not make the decision. After all, your status is not suitable for taking risks."

"If something unexpected happens, no one can bear the responsibility."

Prince Sultan was also impulsive and knew that many things could not be done according to his temper. So I could only say with a regretful expression: "You are right, but wait until the test is over. I must experience it, otherwise I won't even be able to sleep well."

While Oblak was testing the new car in Saudi Arabia, David Bruce had just arrived near the North Pole. It is already winter in the Northern Hemisphere at this time, and the weather has been very bad in recent days, causing the temperature in the Arctic periphery to plummet to minus 50 degrees. This was beyond everyone's expectations. Although they had made careful preparations before, everyone still felt cold at this time.

The temperature in Detroit is considered to be the lowest in the United States, but it is still far behind compared with the Arctic. Engineers have not received professional cold protection training, and many people feel that this is not a place for people to stay.

Just one day after arriving in the North Pole, many engineers fell ill. Bao Zixuan paid a certain price for his youth. If he hadn't insisted on urging him, such a serious problem would not have occurred.

In my previous life, I only learned some information about the Arctic from materials, and I had seen some car manufacturers go to the Arctic for testing. But they had gone through a lot of preparation work before, and the planning alone took several months or even more than a year. How could it be like Bao Shoufu, who just gave an order and engineers without professional training set out directly.

If it is not done well, it will cost people's lives. After all, there are not many places in the Arctic that can supply supplies at this time. Moreover, due to bad weather, ground effect aircraft are not useful at all. At most it can be used as a fixed residence, but that also requires a lot of fuel to maintain.

David Bruce also regretted it at this time. He originally thought of testing it on the edge of the Arctic. Take a few photos, record some video materials, and use them for publicity, but who would have thought that the photographer fell down as soon as he arrived.

After all, David Bruce is also a man in his 40s, and his physical functions are definitely not as good as those of a young man. After having basically been engaged in research and development for so many years, I also fell ill when I arrived.

The project leader could not get up to work, which made it impossible to carry out a lot of work. Fortunately, David Bruce knows the tasks assigned by Bao Zixuan, and the boss doesn't care how many difficulties you have. If you can't complete it, you are incompetent, and even alumni have nothing to say.

At this time, the assistant walked into the tent where David Bruce was, and came to ask how to arrange the next work.

David Bruce is still very satisfied with this assistant. Although this kid just graduated from the University of Detroit, which is not a prestigious school in the United States, fortunately, he graduated from the automotive testing major, which gave him a lot of points. At this time, the value is fully reflected. The rugby players in college were not knocked down by the cold.

Now we can only see if this kid can take the lead, otherwise the mission may really not be able to continue.

David Bruce: "Hughes, what is the situation now? Can the work continue? We are very pressed for time, but it is difficult for me to continue directing the work like this."

The purpose of saying this is self-evident. The first is to understand the situation, and the second is to let the young man named Hughes take over his command of various tasks.

Hughes: "It's not good, most people are sick. Now we have one camera operator who's working, and she's a woman."

"The multi-angle lens requested by the boss will definitely not work, but there is still no problem in the regular test. The two drivers have no problem and can drive at any time. However, other vehicles are difficult to operate in extreme weather. Therefore, we plan to use one car on the car Riding on the engineering and technical staff to conduct a full-scale tracking test on another car, although there are some risks, I have absolute confidence in the George Button-type car."

Let engineering and technical personnel ride in vehicles that have not undergone final testing, and also in extreme weather. This is inherently risky and inconsistent with operational procedures. But now there are no more options, so it is still a way.

David Bruce: "Are you sure?"

It is not unreasonable that the older the Jianghu is, the smaller the burden will be, not to mention when one is still sick.

Hughes: "I'm not 100% sure, but there is no better option at the moment. How can I explain to the company if I have to go back in despair?"

"You have to have confidence in the George Patton military vehicle. After all, this is a product we personally built."

Hearing this, David Bruce felt that he couldn't keep up with a young man now. Is he really old? So he said decisively: "I will do as you say, but there are a few places where I need to pay special attention."

"Hybrid oil engines require different amounts of oxygen for each type of oil. The weather here is too bad, so you need to pay special attention. The rest is up to you. It's hard for me to get up now."

"In addition, the daily testing time should not be too long. You can't eat a fat man in one breath. You should also pay more attention to the patients. Now this team must obey your orders, including me."

This is unconditional trust, and David Bruce has no other good ideas. We can only place our hopes on young people. After all, they have not fallen down at this time. Except for the logistics support personnel, the engineering team is basically all young people.

Later, a reporter asked David Bruce whether he regretted promoting Hughes. After all, he is already the general manager of Heiyun Automobile, and he is only a chief engineer.

David Bruce smiled and said: "If it hadn't been for Hughes, I might not have been able to leave the North Pole. As for the position, Hughes is obviously more suitable."

Mike Hughes, the future head of Black Cloud Motors, has embarked on the starting point of a brilliant career.
