1123 New Armaments and New Situations

Lynch was talking to Mr. Wardrick about the development of industry. In early March, there was a machinery exhibition in a southern city.

At the exhibition, a company demonstrated a semi-automated production line. This semi-automated production line reduces the number of jobs required compared to ordinary assembly lines.

More things can be done with fewer people, but people are not very interested in it for the time being.

Because of the price.

The costs of everything from assembly line design to production to maintenance were too high. No one placed orders, and there wasn't even much coverage.

But Mr. Lynch and Mr. Wardrick both knew about it.

It is normal that the media is not very sensitive to it, but as a capitalist, there is no reason to be insensitive.

"It will still take some time to develop. After the cost is reduced, some people may be willing to try to use these new assembly lines."

"But in the short term, people won't do that, even though we all know that this is an inevitable trend in future industrial development."

Lynch cuts the steak elegantly, and Mr. Wardrick gives his point of approval.

"The demand for jobs has been reduced by about 120%, but the production cost has increased by 200%. It has no practical value in the short term, but in the long run, these are the main trends..."

While the two were talking, the housekeeper appeared next to them and told Lynch that he had his phone number.

Mr. Wardrick was a little confused, "If you can call me, it must be important."

He put down his knife and fork and added some wine for himself, meaning to wait for Lynch to come back.

Lin Qi nodded, "Excuse me for a moment, I'll be back soon."

Leaving the table during the meal itself is also a very rude thing, but it must be something important, and the two men did not get too entangled in these small things.

Lynch came to a room, which was a lounge specifically for the owner or guests to rest.

It is more than thirty square meters, with a very comfortable sofa, two small bookcases, a chair and table by the window, and a telephone.

The housekeeper explained, and then gently closed the door when leaving.

Lynch sat on the sofa, picked up the phone, and pressed the yellow button. Then a strange voice came from the phone.

"Mr. Lynch, I am from the Strategic Command Office of the Ministry of National Defense..." The man first explained his position and name, and then he explained the reason for making this call.

"Not long ago, a plane crashed..."

"People from Blackstone Security Company cannot contact you. They have asked us for assistance, so if you are free, please contact Blackstone Security Company in time."

The call was quickly hung up. Lynch lit a cigarette, thought for a while, and dialed the number of Blackstone Security Company. Then he learned what happened in front of him.

"Let people find ways to recover the wreckage of the downed plane. It can provide us with important data. In addition, you have to find out what method they used to bring down our plane."

"This is a battle different from all previous battles. The enemy we face this time is more ferocious, cunning, insidious and despicable."

"There will be sacrifices in war, but justice can never be defeated."

"Use special ammunition. Facing these crazy enemies, we don't need to be reasonable."

"I await your good news."

Then Lynch hung up the phone. After finishing his cigarette, he adjusted his appearance before opening the door and walking out.

When he returned to the dining table, Mr. Wardrick observed Lynch carefully. He didn't find anything special on Lynch's face.

The fact that a call can be made here to find Lin Qi means that the other party has a lot of energy, big enough to know where Lin Qi is anytime and anywhere, and big enough that the other party can make the call here.

After this analysis, Mr. Wardrick had enough evidence to support him in guessing who called.

But he didn't do that, he was just curious, Lynch could really hide things.

Perhaps feeling that Mr. Wardrick's eyes were still on his face, Lynch looked at him and asked, "What's on my face?"

Mr. Wardrick shook his head, "I was just wondering what happened. If it's important, you can leave first. It's not rude."

Lynch pursed his lips, "The attack in the north has encountered some small obstacles. Some little mice think they can resist the torrent of the times. They are very pathetic!"

As he spoke, Lynch seemed to have thought of something, "I remember I gave you two drawings before. Has the prototype been produced?"

It was a very fast thinking, but Mr. Wardrick could keep up. He picked up his knife and fork again, "Of course, sixteen have been produced. Do you want to see them?"

Speaking of this, Mr. Wardrick's smile became more sincere. He had contacted the Ministry of Defense in private, and the commissioner of the Ministry of Defense also went to his place to see those tanks and gave them high praise.

Even those commissioners believe that these things have the same value as aircraft and they will eventually change the shape and way of war!

This also means that the Department of Defense is willing to pay for it, which is crucial.

Lynch pointed to the vegetables mixed with sour mayonnaise placed in the middle of the table, and the waiter on the side added some to Lynch's plate.

The steak tasted good at first, but it contained too much fat and was a bit greasy.

Sweet and sour things can solve this problem very well, and the taste of vegetables can solve the greasiness to the greatest extent.

He put some vegetables mixed with sour mayonnaise on top of the cut beef and stuffed it into his mouth.

First there was the sweetness and sourness and the freshness of the vegetables, and then the slightly browned beef was cut open by the teeth and crushed by the mouth. The beef seeped out, but it did not burden Lynch too much.

After he finished eating, he picked up his napkin and dipped some sauce left on his mouth, "Why don't you send them to the front line?"

"In three days at most, they can prove their value on the battlefield. The Ministry of National Defense is not interested in models. You have to let them see its actual combat value."

Mr. Wardrick was very moved by Lynch's words, but he was also a little embarrassed. The consortium he belonged to did not have a military organization like Blackstone Security, and the people of the Federation were instinctively afraid of war.

Lynch did not continue to persuade him. Smart people do not need persuasion, because persuasion is often useless or counterproductive.

After he had eaten two more pieces of beef, Mr. Wardrick asked a question, "If it appears on the battlefield, when we face the Gefra people, people from other countries, including the domestic military-industrial groups, we will There is no advantage anymore.”

Not long after Lynch's aircraft was prototyped, other companies already had prototypes of aircraft and began small-scale production.

It is estimated that those people will be able to imitate his chariot as soon as he pulls it out, which also means that his chariot will not be a one-man business.

Lynch shook his head, "Your worries are meaningless. You have to understand that even if you hide it and take it out until the war breaks out, other people can imitate it immediately."

"And they can use their experience and technical accumulation in this area to easily surpass our tanks in performance."

"So there is no point in hiding it. On the contrary, I am more inclined to prove my worth in the war."

"When selecting equipment, the Ministry of National Defense prefers to choose military equipment that has proven itself on the battlefield. This is why those military-industrial groups want to give me money even though they know that I am blackmailing them!"

Mr. Wardrick was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then burst into laughter.

He knew that Lynch was blackmailing those military-industrial groups. If the military-industrial groups wanted to conduct specific tests on weapons and equipment in actual combat, they would have to support Lynch with a large amount of military expenditures, and the test results would have to be calculated separately.

This is Chi Guoguo's extortion, but everyone has to pay because Lynch has first-hand user experience in his hands.

As long as he explains to the Department of Defense that employees report that a certain weapon is very difficult to use and has a higher failure rate, the Department of Defense will eliminate the product from the plan.

It can even be said that Blackstone Security’s experience reports and recommendations will become an important reference for the Ministry of Defense when selecting military equipment.

So charging a little money for this isn't too much, right?

Waiting for Mr. Wardrick to finish laughing, Condenser continued, "What we need is the competitiveness brought by competition. When the overall technical level lags behind others, we can only find ways to inspire a spirit of challenge and fighting."

"Our advantage is that we can get feedback from the equipment anytime and anywhere, whether it's good or bad, and we can make timely adjustments."

"We have better access to first-hand feedback on weapons and equipment than they do. We must make good use of our advantages, otherwise we can't compete with them!"

Mr. Wardrick thought for a while and nodded, "What you said makes sense. We are still just babies when it comes to technology accumulation. The only thing we can do is to find ways to take a leading position in the field of practical applications."

The two clinked glasses, and the matter was basically settled, but some issues that followed the crash of the first bomber were still brewing.

Some things are hard to hide, and with the covert propaganda of the Gefras, the enthusiasm for aircraft ownership is cooling.

In the past, those diplomats always surrounded Lynch's flight research institute, hoping that they could complete their orders first, but now, these people were suddenly not so enthusiastic.

Only invincible war equipment is the goal that people pursue. This kind of equipment that can be easily defeated... seems to be just like that?

If there is an effective way to counter air weapons, what is the value of aircraft?

Expensive aerial toys?
