Brigadier general; military rank, general rank, the lowest level of general-level officers, between the colonel and the major general, higher than the colonel, from the actual situation, the colonel in Huaxia should be on the same rank as the British brigadier general, but lower than that of the United States and other countries. brigadier. A brigadier general is the lowest rank among generals in some countries. This title does not exist in the military rank system of some countries.
At this time, Brigadier General Boot, as Ian Wright said, was inspecting the black cloud, and his purpose was to understand the development of new military vehicles. Brigadier General Boot is an unwelcome existence in the Ministry of Defense, otherwise it would be impossible to come to the black cloud. When it is generally believed that the black cloud is out of play, it is strange to send such a person over to give you a good face.
But to the surprise of Brigadier General Boot, the Black Cloud Motors extended a warm welcome to his arrival. Not only did John Chambers greet him at the door, but Bao Zixuan personally introduced the preparations of Heiyun Auto to him.
Brigadier General Bout, who has always been unpopular in the army, was very moved, at least now he feels respected. As a veteran, it is not a person who does not know the good and the bad. Respect is mutual, and he has heard Bao Zixuan's name more than once.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Welcome to General Bout to come to Heiyun for inspection. We have been looking forward to your arrival for a long time. We also hope that the Ministry of Defense can give some guidance and opinions on the research and development of military vehicles, otherwise it will be a closed-door vehicle. "
As a Vietnam War veteran, Bout has seen some big scenes. Moreover, Colonel Freiburg had also communicated with him, and he had also investigated the information on Heiyun and Bao Zixuan before coming here. The boy in front of him is a ghost, and he must be very careful in the process of dating.
Bout: "Mr. Bao is joking. Your name is like thunder. Come here to see the progress of the research and development of Heiyun's new military vehicle. You are an expert in this regard, so why should I guide you?"
Bao Zixuan already knew and got the news in advance about sending Bout over. It is provided by Colonel Freiburg, and Moutai is gradually playing a role.
Colonel Freiburg gave him mixed reviews, both for his bravery in combat and his lack of flexibility in the workplace. In short, this person is not easy to get along with, especially when it comes to seeing rich people.
It doesn't look like what Colonel Freiburg said, but it's always better to be careful.
It can be said that both of them are pregnant with each other, and they both want to see how the other is doing.
Bao Zixuan: "General Bout, should you listen to our report first, or visit the workshop directly; get a macro understanding of the research and development progress."
Knowing that this old boy has a low level of education, he is considered a well-known rude in the US military. In order to avoid embarrassment, it is better for Heiyun to put forward it first; it can also be regarded as a step down for the other party.
Brigadier General But did not expect Bao Zixuan to be quite a director, so he said with a smile: "I like to be more direct. I'd better go to the workshop to see the development progress of military vehicles."
"Mr. Bao is so confident that he will not disappoint."
Under the leadership of Bao's richest man, several people came to the parts manufacturing workshop. At this time, the main body of the military vehicle has been completed. Although it is only a shell, it still brings a lot of shock to Bout.
But in terms of shape, Heiyun's new military vehicle can crush all military vehicles that have been seen before. Although the shape does not determine anything, the mighty and domineering shape can still increase the combat effectiveness of soldiers to a certain extent.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile, "General Butt is an expert. How do you feel about our military vehicle?"
Sobering up from the shock, Bout hurriedly said: "Very good, Heiyun's car research and development capabilities are indeed well-deserved. Even if the performance is not good, the sales of this car will not be bad. There are still many people in the world who belong to the Appearance Association, it can be seen that How important is appearance."
"By the way, what is the name of this car, I really want to know."
He must know something by asking this, and Bao Zixuan also understands that he won't be able to hide it for long. Instead of hiding and tucking, it is better to be direct.
Bao Zixuan: "The name of this military vehicle is George Patton, which is mainly developed by combining the speed of General Patton's fondness of jeeps and the armor concept of tanks."
In the United States, as long as they are pure soldiers, they basically worship General Patton. Brigadier General Boot is also not exempt, and he admires the kind in his heart. Now that I heard the name of the military vehicle is George Patton, I knew that Bao Zixuan had a big picture. Now that the Ministry of Defense is difficult to handle, it is impossible to ignore this military vehicle from the name alone. What's more, the shape is so domineering, how much GM and Ford's plan know, it can be said that there is no comparison with Heiyun.
As a veteran, he prefers to use the Black Cloud military vehicle.
What he couldn't understand was how Bao Zixuan got in touch with the Patton family. Before the media reported the purpose of going to the George Barton Memorial, now the answer can finally be revealed.
The Ministry of Defense is also worried that the Patton family will come forward. Now it seems that the two sides have completed the bundling of interests. Caspar-Weinberg is destined to be disappointed, and the order for military vehicles has a new variable. This is not necessarily a bad thing for him, but Heiyun Auto arranged for him to be connected and responsible.
Boot: "The name is very good. No wonder Mr. Bao went to the General George Patton Memorial. It turned out to be for authorization. The appearance is indeed worthy of the name of General Patton, but the performance is not enough. Even if the Patton family agrees, the United States Soldiers will not agree."
Bao Zixuan: "In terms of performance, it will definitely meet the technical requirements of the Ministry of National Defense for new military vehicles, and will try to improve it as much as possible. Heiyun Automobile's investment in technology research and development is absolutely the highest in the world."
"The 340-horsepower engine has no problem driving a medium tank."
No amount can be revealed to him that the richest man Bao wanted to be caught off guard by the US government, GM, and Ford. It is impossible to expose too many technical secrets at this time, especially in the auxiliary power equipment.
Boot: "When will the Black Cloud military vehicle be assembled?"
This question is reasonable, after all, the Ministry of Defense is the purchaser. But at this time, asking this question is a little tentative. I want to know when the black cloud can be produced, and then adjust the plan according to the situation of the black cloud.
Even if you know the purpose of the person, you must answer. This is a conspiracy, and it doesn't matter if it is blatant.
Bao Zixuan: "One week, but Heiyun has to conduct a rigorous test before handing it over to the Ministry of Defense. If the problem is found, it will be solved in-house first. This will benefit everyone, and the Ministry of Defense will also save a lot of trouble."
After turning around without seeing anything, Brigadier General Boot left the Black Cloud Automobile.
In fact, it's not just him, the Ministry of Defense sent all the teams to return to their lives. The results of the expeditions are to be aggregated, and the generals are to make a written report to Secretary of Defense Kasper Weinberger against what they have learned.
The military has always been very efficient, and that's the case in that country.
Seeing that several groups had returned, Caspar-Weinberg called an emergency meeting. He wants to know the situation of various companies as soon as possible, and to put it bluntly, he does not want accidents.
Taking money to do things is right and proper. At this time, he must be inclined, otherwise everyone will be unlucky. American capitalists are not sympathetic, then it will not be as simple as refunding money and losing some profits.
Kasper Weinberg: "You guys have worked hard these days, but this is not the time to relax. I hope you share the information and plan your response."
With a look, Ian Wright immediately understood what it meant.
Ian Wright: "GM and Ford are very serious about the new military vehicle and have entered the assembly stage. It can be completed in three days, and after testing, it can be handed over to the Ministry of Defense for inspection."
From the current data, the performance can basically meet the requirements. It's just a little bit worse in electrical energy storage, and engineers are looking for a solution. Will continue to pay attention, definitely not to delay the progress of the replacement of military vehicles.
The protagonists are GM and Ford. At this time, the two companies are basically ready, so things will be much easier. As for other car companies, it doesn't seem that important.
Since it is a meeting, everyone must speak. On the surface, the Americans are doing pretty well.
After that, the military generals of Chrysler, Carter, and Oskars made reports respectively In any case, they will be allocated some shares of military vehicles, and a brief report is still required.
Brigadier General Boot knew that it was his turn, and he was still unwelcome as always, or he would not let him be the last to report. It seems that he is as embarrassed as Heiyun Automobile in the Ministry of Defense.
The only difference is that the Black Cloud Group is very well-known in the world; its technical strength is even higher in the world, and he has no foundation. Since it is unpopular, it is best to say nothing.
So Brigadier General Boot said a few words lightly, guessing that Bao Zixuan had something to hide from him. And I saw confidence in the eyes of the other party, and it was inevitable. But I just don't want bureaucrats like the Ministry of Defense to know that it must be very fun when Black Cloud Auto competes with Ford and GM.
Brigadier General Boot did not know that he did not report seriously, not even the name of Heiyun's new military vehicle. Ian Wright almost resigned, and Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberg was hard-guarded by Reagan.
At that time, even if some names were mentioned, the top officials of the Ministry of Defense would pay enough attention. After all, the Patton family will not easily authorize the name of General George Patton to go out for honor. Without understanding the powerful performance of military vehicles, it is difficult to buy this kind of family with more money.
