v2 Chapter 904： Ministry of Defense decision

Saudi Arabia and Kuwait attacked so quickly, far beyond the expectations of other countries; including the United States. What do people in the Middle East mean? It's time to discuss prices, and they're doing this. How to lower the price, it is simply playing the piano indiscriminately.

At this time, the US Department of Defense conference room was discussing the bidding for military vehicles, and the purpose was how to deal with the aftermath.

Caspar-Weinberg said first: "I think everyone has seen the ABC TV show about car comparison, and they have to talk about their own opinions. Tomorrow is the day of the military vehicle bidding, and we will announce the results in a week at most. Pay attention to this matter, if the public cannot be satisfied, the Ministry of Defense will usher in a crisis of confidence, and you should be able to imagine the seriousness of the problem even if I don’t say it.”

Seeing that everyone was silent, Kasper Weinberg knew that he didn't want to take responsibility. At present, the advantages of Black Cloud are very obvious, and the announced price is not particularly expensive; at least it is still within the acceptable range.

GM and Ford have been distrusted by the public because of the exposure of ABC TV. But everyone present got a lot of benefits, and no one dared to speak easily. This is not only as simple as offending people, it can even affect personal careers.

No one can speak. Caspar Weinberg looked around and said: "General Ian Wright, you are in charge of coordinating matters between GM and Ford. How is the situation, you can introduce it to everyone."

It's just so helpless, who makes their position the lowest. The Ministry of Defense needs him to do all the chores, and the work of offending people is basically impossible to escape.

Ian Wright first got in touch with GM after the news broke. GM responded quickly enough to directly demand Mac Donald's resignation from the board. John Smith serves as interim CEO to deal with the crisis facing GM.

USC expelled Steke Donald directly and expelled some students. Many Hollywood directors are also well-known alumni of USC, and some are even members of the school board. It is a collective voice, and we must not let people ruin the reputation of the school, and we must ensure the purity of education.

The strength from the alma mater is a great help to the individual, and the crisis of the alma mater is also a blow to the reputation of the alumni. At such critical moments, they basically choose to support their alma mater.

USC is not good in other aspects, but it is definitely No. 1 in the world in the field of film art. There are so many directors in Hollywood who have graduated here, and a black sheep will not have a big impact on the school.

Donald and his son have no one to pay attention to, leaving GM. They are nothing and are now so infamous that basically no business will hire them. After so many years, you should accumulate some wealth, as long as it is not too prosperous. Life should not be difficult, the premise is that family conflicts must be resolved first. Nursing a lover is well known in the United States, but Mrs. Donald does not have such a good temper.

The GM problem itself is easy to solve, the CEO leaves, and someone becomes a scapegoat. At least it is an explanation to the public, and the performance of the Humvee military vehicle itself is good enough. No matter how the Ministry of Defense decides, it will not bring serious consequences.

The Ford side involved basically family members, and there was Henry Ford II in it. Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, after all, the news came from within the family, and the credibility was still very high.

Henry Ford II was having a family meeting when Ian Wright contacted him. At this moment, the Ford family has become the laughing stock of the United States. If it cannot be properly resolved, it will inevitably affect the reputation of Ford Motors and this bidding for military vehicles of the Department of Defense.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Black Cloud Auto is far ahead of other manufacturers. This technical gap cannot be made up in a short period of time, and even at this time, the old Ford feels powerless.

Since my grandfather founded Ford, except when it was initially suppressed by major forces. As if Ford had never faced such a big crisis, it was a little overwhelmed.

It is said that he is Henry Ford II, and his ability is not much worse than his grandfather. Grandfather was able to build Ford under the pressure of Morgan and Rockefeller, and to carry forward Ford. Why is it in his hands now that he can't even handle a small black cloud car. Is it because Bao Zixuan's strength and ability are too amazing, stronger than old Morgan and Rockefeller, or because his ability is much worse than his grandfather.

At this time, he was very skeptical, and it seemed that it was time to retire. But looking back and looking at the so-called young talents of the Ford family, basically none of them gave me peace of mind.

If the family and the Ford cars are handed over to them, the end result is only to be acquired. It hurts to think about it now, and at this time I heard a call from Ian Wright. Knowing that what should come will always come, Henry Ford II glanced at the family members and said, "Just do as you just said, and you will leave the company temporarily. The family can provide some funds and do some business on your own."

"If you lose everything, don't come back to see me in the future."

At this time, Henry Ford II adopted a one-size-fits-all approach, at least for the Ministry of Defense. And it can let the family children get training. As for the result, he doesn't know, and he doesn't even dare to think about it.

After the Ford family's decision was communicated to Ian Wright, it was a temporary satisfaction. As for the final result, we need to see the reaction of the American people and the level of concern from the White House.

Ian Wright looked at the generals of the Department of Defense and said: "At present, General Motors CEO Mike Donald has resigned, and John Smith is in charge of the follow-up work. This person knows a little bit, and no black history has been discovered so far."

"As for Ford Motor, all the family members involved have resigned, and the family members will not be allowed to work in the auto company in the short term."

Hearing GM and Ford's handling decisions, those present were relieved a lot. At least the company has shown its attitude, and everyone has to talk about their feelings. After all, GM and Ford have the purest American ancestry, and it's a matter of course to take care of them.

The four-star admiral of the Navy said: "Are the communication equipment and electronic systems of the Black Cloud George Patton military vehicle safe? Is there a risk of leakage? What is the opinion of the Department of Defense."

This is a key issue. Who dares to use vehicles that even military secrets cannot guarantee.

Ian Wright can only tell the truth: "Bao Zixuan is very smart about this. The communication equipment of the Black Cloud Group itself is not bad, or even better. I don't know if it is to attract allies, or to worry about the opposition of the Ministry of Defense. Now The electronic chips and communication equipment used are all from Motorola, and I think Motorola should still be trusted.”

Everyone is relieved to hear that Motorola is a veteran supplier of the US military, and there is absolutely no problem with loyalty.

"The Navy can make some concessions, but SEALs must use Black Cloud George Patton vehicles," said the four-star admiral.

U.S. Navy SEALs, one of the top ten special forces in the world.

"SEAL" is the nickname of the U.S. military amphibious commando. The Commando was formally established in 1962. Its predecessor was the U.S. Navy Underwater Demolition Team. By the 1980s, it had expanded to two battle groups, with a total of 7 squadrons and about 1,600 people. The SEALs have now become the trump card for the United States to implement local wars and deal with emergencies.

The four-star general of the Army followed up: "The Army can also make appropriate concessions, but the Delta Force, Green Berets and Rangers must be equipped with Black Cloud George Patton type military vehicles."

Delta Force is one of the best-trained, best-equipped and best-funded special forces in the world today. Its training facilities and training fidelity are beyond the reach of other special forces except SAS.

The US "Delta" special force was established in April 1978 to imitate the British 22nd Special Air Service Regiment (SAS), referring to the SAS in its establishment. Due to its high-quality personnel armed with sophisticated equipment and high mobility, it has the ability to conduct mobile deployment "anytime, anywhere".

The green beret is the designation of the U.S. Army Special Forces. This unit generally operates alone as a 12-person contingent, and is good at unconventional warfare, foreign internal defense, special reconnaissance, direct action, counter-terrorism, and can perform non-proliferation, hostage rescue, and humanitarian missions.

Every member of the Green Berets is a master of guerrilla warfare, masters at least one foreign language, has his own technical expertise (weapons, engineering, communications, medical), has also received comprehensive cross-training in other disciplines, and is equipped when necessary. The ability to train and command an infantry company. "Green Berets" are regularly deployed to many countries around the world and can perform a variety of special operations missions in a variety of environments. The "Green Berets" are the main force in the United States' unconventional warfare. It was the first formalized special forces unit in the United States, numbering around 8,000.

Among the many elite troops in the United States, the Rangers are an elite force with a long history and strong force. It has a glorious history and excellent traditions; it performs the role of the world policeman everywhere with undaunted spiritual perseverance. The Ranger is a light infantry that can use a variety of vehicles to quickly enter the theater to perform tasks, so that the Ranger has completed the task before other special forces arrive. Just like the motto "Ranger, be a pioneer" that represents the spirit of the Rangers and the earth-colored berets and ribbon-shaped armbands embroidered with the word RANGER, they have always been symbols of the honor and dignity of the Rangers.

Not to be outdone, the four-star general of the Air Force said very formally: "The 82nd Airborne Division must be equipped with Black Cloud George Patton military vehicles."

The 82nd Airborne Division is affiliated to the 18th Airborne Corps of the United States. It is stationed at Fort Brigg, North Carolina, USA. It is nicknamed "All American" and has a staff of about 12,900 people. It is the only U.S. military that can enter the combat area by parachute. It is a fully-organized division with strong maneuverability. It has formed a set of operational principles in long-term combat practice and has strong combat capabilities. The 82nd Airborne Division typically conducts joint operations with the Air Force, which provides airlift, close air support, and air supplies.

Defense Secretary Kasper Weinberg was satisfied with the remarks of several service generals. It seems that these few are very reasonable, and the requirements are not excessive.

And it is also an explanation to the American people. The most elite troops are allocated the best equipment, even if the price is more expensive. The total number of the three arms will not exceed 8,000 military vehicles, even if there are some special requirements, a total of 10,000 military vehicles is completely within the acceptable range.

You must know that the U.S. military will purchase a total of 300,000 military vehicles of various types this time, and Heiyun only occupies a small share. It can be explained to GM, Ford and other local automakers.

The military vehicle bidding on the second day was more of a routine, and the largest share was still taken by GM. The US Department of Defense has placed a total of 100,000 Humvee military vehicles with General Motors ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Ford has received 60,000 orders.

Chrysler became a winner this time, and even got an order for 40,000 military vehicles, which was never even thought of before. It was a surprise, mainly because after the scandal broke out at Ford and GM, the Department of Defense should also pay attention to the impact.

Heiyun got the order share of 10,000 military vehicles, all of which were allocated to the special forces. The rest were divided up by several major truck and special vehicle companies, and everyone was quite satisfied with the result.

As for the public, there is no opinion, although GM and Ford have scandals. But in any case, it is also the largest and oldest automaker in the United States, and has a high reputation. What else is there to say when it is said that the two companies also dismissed and fired inactive personnel for this reason!

The uproar of the US military vehicle bidding ended like this. Although it was not reconciled, it was acceptable to include the richest man. At least 10,000 shares have been obtained, which was not so well thought out before. Moreover, the Ministry of National Defense has no restrictions on the export of new military vehicles, not only because there are too few orders, but also because it wants to control it.
