Chapter 758 Battlefield Killer
America, Los Angeles.
News Corporation headquarters building.
The current News Corporation is divided into three parts. The first is the news media, including 18 mainstream newspapers and periodicals such as "Los Angeles Times", "America Today", "Newsweek" and "North American Express", and more than 60 local newspapers and periodicals.
The second is that the Playboy brand is already the most famous male luxury brand in the United States and even in the world.
Including its popular magazine in Europe and America, the sexy and charming bunny girl who attracts all eyes and various luxury goods co-branded with other brands.
There are clothes, watches, decorations, jewelry, sports cars, airplanes, and more.
As long as it is what a man needs, he can always find the right one here.
The third is ARC, which develops the slowest but works well.
American Broadcasting Corporation is the latest establishment within LANC and the department with the largest investment in capital and personnel.
If it weren't for Li Zitao's full support, even Harry Chandley, the CEO, wouldn't be able to push forward with this "money swallowing" project.
There is not much investment in TV R&D and manufacturing. The scary thing is the construction of signal base stations and line improvement and maintenance.
In this regard, ARC chose to cooperate with RCA. As the largest broadcast signal company in the United States and the parent company of ABC and NBC, ARC is like a little quail in front of it.
However, in terms of new signal base station and circuit research and development, and TV research and development improvements, ARC is more than ten blocks ahead of RCA.
The cooperation between the two parties is conducive to the promotion and development of the TV industry. On this point, they reached an agreement, and Harry formally launched cooperation negotiations with RCA.
It's just that these things can no longer attract Li Zitao's attention. They are all handled by the think tank, and his energy is devoted to the war.
While the News Corporation headquarters building was extremely busy, the Los Angeles Bunker branch was also busy with people coming and going.
Da da da--
In the weapon experiment testing area, thunderous gunshots and flashes of flames kept coming.
S.H.I.E.L.D., Bunker Branch.
Automatic Weapons Research Center, Stark Weapons Research Laboratory.
The name is a bit long, but it is also helpless. Any object is composed of tiny individuals.
The Automatic Weapons Research Center now has nearly 20 affiliated research institutes, the Stark Weapons Research Laboratory, simply put, is the core, my son.
Being a real son also requires some real skills, Stark Laboratory has this skill, they once again improved the self-made weapons.
Talking about the big killers on the battlefield, military fans can list many heavy weapons such as Maxim, SG43 Guoliunov, Type 92, Type 24, etc. that shine on the battlefield.
But the only one that can really be called an evergreen tree in war is the Browning M2 heavy machine.
Since its birth in the 1920s, it has become standard equipment in many countries, and it has not been eliminated until the 21st century.
Thomson T193M1e, the so-called enhanced version, is a heavy machine gun. Although it is light enough that only two people need to cooperate to operate it including carrying the ammunition box, it has to be said that it is far behind the heavy machine gun in terms of lethality.
In view of this situation, Stark Research Office decided to design a real heavy machine, the "Death Scythe" on the battlefield. '
First of all, they referred to the heavy machine guns of various countries, even those that did not perform well.
Why other heavy machines perform better, lighter, and more excellent than it, and finding out the gap is their first step.
Then they started to use the Browning M2 as the blueprint, combined with the previous experience and the characteristics of their own Thomson, to create a heavy machine that truly belonged to them.
Thomson D1, vehicle-mounted heavy machine, 12.7mm caliber, the same caliber as Browning, this is to facilitate the production interoperability of ammunition.
Equipped with a hydraulic buffer, the stability performance is better than that of Browning, with a range of 2 miles, and the range of the D2 with a tripod drops to 1.6 miles.
The net weight of the gun body is 90 pounds,
6 pounds heavier than the Browning, the D2 tripod weighs 28 pounds and uses a new composite material.
Chain loading, rate of fire 600~1000 rounds per minute, up to the standard of aviation guns, air cooling, excellent stability.
After emptying five ammunition boxes in a row, the barrel overheated. After a short cooling time, it was put into use again and remained reliable and stable.
"Huh..." When the gunfire finally stopped, Li Zitao took off the noise-proof earphones and exhaled.
The smell of gunpowder in the entire test area was so strong that it could suffocate people to death. Li Zitao only felt that his mouth was full of bitterness and saltiness. Now he can drink up a well.
"How is the recruit training going?" Li Zitao asked about the recruit training as he left the test area side by side with Hans.
The war is becoming more and more severe, the outbreak of war in Europe is becoming more and more obvious, and the United States is also making preparations.
Although the army has been reduced again and again, weakening it badly, but the militia and the National Guard have a large reserve of soldiers.
After seeing first-hand the mobility of the Mexican Quick Response Force airborne, the U.S. Army decided to train a group of airborne divisions.
No one has more experience in this area than S.H.I.E.L.D., and Hans, a military consultant, has become the chief training hall of the Airborne Division.
For this reason, he was awarded the rank of temporary major to make the rebellious big soldiers obey orders and not fight against him.
"They are the most trashy and heroic soldiers I have ever seen." Hans said with a complex expression.
Garbage refers to military ability and personal quality, and bravery refers to the performance during training. No matter what method Hans used to attack and torture them, everyone persisted.
After being wiped out by a small team of special guards led by Hans, the assassins of the airborne division were also honest, hoping to have enough time for him to train.
"Find a time to invite the chief of staff and generals to inspect the performance of D1 and D2. I believe it will bring them a lot of surprises." The order from the United States is required, and he also wants other orders.
The war situation in Ethiopia is very unfavorable, and it is very unsafe to transport weapons at this stage.
The safest way is to land from the British Kenya area, and then transport it to Ethiopia by land. The guerrillas have their own people at the border.
Li Zitao still decided to go to the French border for the orders of the Spanish Republic, and the bribed officer had been cooperating with them for a long time.
The support for Ethiopia at this stage is all empty promises, and there is still a long way to go to get the benefits.
However, the benefits of the Spanish Republic are readily available, and Li Zitao just deducted them from the gold.
Perhaps the war is not over yet, the 'temporary' gold already belongs to him completely.
"Give more support to the Republic, we still need it." Li Zitao pressed Hans' shoulder and said meaningfully.
"Understood." Hans nodded.
"By the way, I heard that Your Excellency the Head of State is summoning all the Germans to return to serve the country. Is there anything going on in S.H.I.E.L.D.?" The little man is promoting the Germanic blood, using blood, honor, glorious history, etc. to gain more recognition.
There are quite a few German nationals in S.H.I.E.L.D., and many of them hold important positions, including Hans. If he is fooled like this, he will be in trouble.
"Boss, my family is all here." Hans expressed his attitude in simple and straightforward words, what about the glorious history of the Germans, and now he is living very well.
