Chapter 416: Van Fleet Against the Military-Industrial Complex

"Then I'll try my best to choose better spare parts." Under the persuasion of the workshop supervisor Will, Nadel struggled fiercely in his heart for a long time, and finally had to bow to reality.

After all, he followed Will's method, and as long as there were no major problems with his body, he wouldn't have any problems.

But if Weir’s method is not followed, the accumulated continuous production hours of the entire workshop will be cleared, and the government supervision team that came to inspect will see these rows of new HCPs full of production ‘defects’

Then he will lose his job immediately.

Thinking about his wife who had just given birth and was still a little weak and needed to be nursed back to health, and then thinking about his child who had just come into this world, Nadel thought about what would happen if he lost the job that the whole family relied on for survival. I dare not even think about it.

When Will, the workshop supervisor, saw that Nadel finally agreed, he finally felt relieved. If Nadel didn't agree to do this, he really didn't know what to do for a while.

Because Nadel serves as a production quality supervisor, the products produced by the assembly line he is responsible for must be inspected by him and approved at the work terminal before they can enter the next step of the factory process.

In other words, as long as Nadel does not let go, these HCPs that have just come off the assembly line will not be able to be shipped away.

So Will now feels that although Nadel is a bit arrogant, he is still sensible after all.

He rummaged in the drawer of his desk, then took out a green chip and handed it to Nader. The latter looked down and saw that it was a stored-value card from a large supermarket chain in the Federation. The chip was also printed with There was a faint line of words on it - '500 Credit Points'.

"Don't make any noise. Go buy some supplements and baby food, and stock up on other things for the family."

"Supervisor, I can't take this." Nadel was at a loss as he held the chip. In his more than 20 years of employment, he had never received such a thing from a colleague - it was even given to him by his superiors.

Furthermore, Boqi Heavy Industries' employee code of conduct also clearly prohibits these "little tricks" among employees. If found, they will be severely punished.

"Take it, take it, think of it as a personal gift from me!" Will pushed Nader's hand, asked him to put the chip into his pocket, and then pushed him toward the office door.

"Remember, find a few people who are strict-mouthed and reliable, and don't make this matter public."

"Yes, I understand."

A week later, the government supervision team led by Lieutenant General Van Fleet arrived as scheduled.

When Will and Nadel saw Lieutenant General Van Fleet arriving outside the workshop gate, surrounded by the chairman of Poch Heavy Industries and a large number of executives, they both finally realized that the general might be real. Something.

Because of previous government supervision team inspections, Boqi Heavy Industries could only send a few senior executives to accompany them. Today, this is the first time that high-level officials have been dispatched collectively.

Will and Nadel's guess was not wrong. It was because Van Fleet really had something that made the executives of Boqi Heavy Industries feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.

The lieutenant general didn't know where to find a group of experts and roped them into his supervision team to serve as consultants. Then when supervising the first military industry company, he gave a blow to all other official companies.

This company that was unlucky enough to win the jackpot had a thorough inspection by Van Fleet's team. 85 out of a total of 90 inspection items failed to pass the inspection, which directly led to the federal government suspending its relationship with this company. All business.

After the first shot was fired, the companies responsible for the production of various federal army equipment panicked.

They originally thought that this general who suffered a huge defeat on the front line was just assigned to a logistics post to "retire", but no one thought that this guy was serious.

And although Van Fleet has various problems, as a general who has been on the front line for a long time and especially likes to communicate with front-line soldiers, he still has a very good understanding of the federal army's real equipment needs.

So later some military industrial companies originally wanted to fool him, but in the end they were caught and used as a public example.

Under such circumstances, when the executives of Boqi Heavy Industry learned that Van Fleet was bringing a supervision team over, they naturally felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

After seeing this, Will felt proud of his decision in his heart. If those problematic products were still in the warehouse, he might be skinned after today.

Lieutenant General Van Fleet walked into the workshop accompanied by everyone. Although he had a calm expression on his face, in fact, he had not been in a good mood recently.

Being assigned to a logistics supervision position is one thing, and being bombarded by various federal military-industrial companies is another. If he hadn't been in charge of supervision this time, Van Fleet would never have imagined that these private military-industrial companies were already in such bad shape. .

The Boqi Heavy Industry workshop, which is currently undergoing supervision and inspection work, although there seems to be no problem at present, Van Fleet felt a sense of depression the moment he walked into the workshop.

This sense of depression made him feel very uncomfortable, and also made him curious about the conditions in which the workers here were working, and would something go wrong?

This feeling didn't come until Van Fleet saw Nadel, the leader of the production quality supervision team, when he was listening to the introduction of the workshop personnel, and noticed something was wrong with him, which finally convinced him that there was something wrong with Boqi Heavy Industry.

"What does this guy want to say to me?"

Van Fleet thought so in his heart, but he did not express it on the spot, because he knew that some things could not be put on the table, so he decided not to alarm the snake first, and let his confidant try to contact after the supervision was over.

——

When Van Fleet was conducting supervision and inspection at Boqi Heavy Industry, the batch of ‘Knife Mantis’ HCPs produced by Will and Nadel’s assembly workshop were also packaged and packed on the transport ship and transported to the front line.

Some of these HCPs will be used as supplementary vehicles for deployed troops, and the other part will be used as vehicles for newly formed troops, and these troops are established precisely to cope with the upcoming large-scale battle.

Since the Federation suffered a defeat in the Pella Galaxy, under the advice of Miller and Trafalgar, the Federation has been actively mobilizing various resources and troops to prepare for a large-scale joint operation on the front line.

And these two military ‘leaders’ set three different goals for this large-scale operation.

The best goal is to achieve an unprecedented victory and lay the foundation for victory in the entire war.

The next goal is to hold the current front line and make the currently occupied imperial territory truly become the territory of the Federation.

The worst goal is to kill a large number of the living forces of the Star Dragon Empire, so that even if they win, it will be a "miserable victory", so that they can't continue to launch a counterattack against the Federation, so that this war can enter the "negotiation table" stage.

This is why during this period, the major military industrial enterprises of the Federation are like crazy producing various equipment, because the military orders can be said to be "time-sensitive and heavy tasks", requiring them to produce enough equipment, ammunition, and spare parts to the front line in a very limited time.

This also means that the situation of Will and Nadel not only happened in this workshop, nor was it just a special case of Boqi Heavy Industry, but a microcosm.

Let the long-slack federal military-industrial complex expose its rotten and dilapidated fat body from the shadow of singing and dancing.
