Barry naturally didn't want to hear nonsense and immediately shouted angrily:
"What exactly is the problem?"
"Check it out quickly!"
The designers were frightened for a while, and immediately scattered. Some people quickly turned over the thick design drawings on the table, some checked the guns with broken barrels, and some collected the debris on the ground and gathered them together.
Discuss together in a low voice
In front of MacArthur and Deputy General Manager Barry, everyone was very efficient. It only took less than a minute for a gray-bearded Hesse designer who seemed to be the leader to walk out of the crowd tremblingly and give a reply to the leader:
"Dear Mr. Barry, it stands to reason that there should be no problem with this rifle."
The two leaders were talking at the same time, looking at their gray beards with frosty expressions.
The gray beard visibly swallowed before continuing to explain:
"This rifle is called K1098. It is an excellent rifle designed by Jiuzhou City Firearms Group. We bought a complete set of drawings from them."
"In other words, this is a finished rifle, not developed by us. Logically speaking, there should be no problems."
MacArthur nodded when he heard this and asked: "Bought it?"
"Of course I bought it!" Gray Beard nodded quickly:
"Although we in Cochin have the most elite design team in the continent and have designed so many creative and advanced weapons as in the showrooms outside, you know"
"Weapons must be tested in actual combat, and must be continuously improved and polished before they can gradually become perfect. We currently lack the time and opportunity for testing. Therefore, it is appropriate to purchase some mature gun designs and imitate them in Cochin.
It’s quite common!”
“This will definitely speed up our production schedule!”
This statement was so reasonable that even Director Mo agreed thoughtfully.
Deputy General Manager Barry nodded slightly: "Yes."
The gray beard seemed relieved and quickly struck while the iron was hot:
"Unless there is something wrong with the design drawings we got! I mean, Jiuzhou City Firearms Manufacturing Company is a federal industry, Mr. Barry, please tell me."
"Is it possible that they deliberately sold us fake drawings? After all, they belong to the Federation and belong to us Hesse people."
"Enemy?" Barry immediately turned to look at MacArthur:
"It's possible!"
Mo Zhi murmured something in his heart. Sure enough, there is no trouble that conspiracy theories cannot solve.
It seems that the guy responsible for purchasing the blueprints is going to take the blame.
MacArthur suddenly cursed angrily:
“Who was responsible for purchasing the K1098 rifle design?”
Unexpectedly, all the designers in the room turned their heads and looked at Deputy General Manager Barry.
Barry: "."
Mu Zhi was stunned for a moment. Good guy, what a fool!
Epic almost laughed out loud.
Barry's old face suddenly turned red: "No, Mr. MacArthur, I said the wrong thing!"
"Don't worry, I am indeed the person responsible for purchasing K1098, but I swear to the God of Iron, the God of Immortality, and the Gods of Hesse that I will never take kickbacks from the purchase or embezzle the purchase money from Cochin Lem."
As he spoke, Barry straightened his chest:
"I am a great Hesse! With the pride and honor of the Hesse, I will never betray Mr. MacArthur!"
"Money. Haha, money can't shake my loyalty to Cochin!"
"It's only forty-eight gold dollars. Even ninety-six gold dollars can't make me tempted at all!"
Everyone, including all the designers, looked at Barry again.
MacArthur: "."
Mo Zhi smiled secretly, suppressing the sound and raised his head to look at the ceiling.
Shi Shi rolled his eyes, feeling equally uncomfortable.
"Come here!" MacArthur shouted angrily.
Several heavily armed Hesse soldiers poured in. MacArthur didn't even bother to explain, and said coldly:
"Drag him out and beat him to death with sticks!"
Barry was stunned, and before he could beg for mercy or call for help, he was dragged out by several Hesse soldiers.
The cry for mercy came from far away from outside after a long time, and then came the heartbreaking cry of pain, which finally calmed down.
Mozhi said admiringly to MacArthur:
"Mr. Jason is decisive in killing, I admire you!"
MacArthur shook his head and sighed helplessly: "Director Mo is ridiculous."
After saying that, the real boss of Cochin Lem looked at the gray beard again and asked:
"How is our current situation? Do you think there are any problems with the company's operation?"
The gray-bearded man had already relaxed since he saw Deputy General Manager Barry lose his life. When he heard the boss's question, he quickly retracted his thoughts, briefly thought about it, and answered:
"After all, Cochin Ram was first established, and the team was formed by us Hesse people. After all, it needs to be adjusted. There are still scumbags like Barry who try to take advantage of others within the company."
"Well, this is just one aspect. The more important issue is. Mr. Jason, we can't be fully autonomous yet!"
MacArthur nodded and motioned for him to continue.
Gray Beard cleared his throat:
"Of course, under my leadership, the design team can give full play to the wisdom of our Hesse people, so in the entire Cochinlam, the work of our design department is the best!"
"Oh, by the way, you just asked me what I mean by autonomy. Well, this is a big problem. We are still unable to produce the steel needed for manufacturing, and we cannot produce the copper needed for bullets. Well. You know,
There are no corresponding metal smelting plants in the southern provinces."
"In other words, we need to purchase these materials from other provinces."
"Even gunpowder, we in Cochin, cannot produce it ourselves."
MacArthur nodded after hearing this and sighed helplessly again.
This shows that what the gray-bearded man said was true and he was secretly thinking about it, but he was also quite surprised.
In Cochin, does it even need to purchase basic raw materials?
This is very Hesse
Not to mention anything else, if there is really a war with the Federation, the Federation will only need to cut off the transportation lines of the southern provinces, and this country will run out of ammunition and food.
After saying that, seeing that his boss seemed satisfied with his analysis, the gray beard became excited and did not forget to take the opportunity to show off his team again:
"Mr. Jason, our design department can be said to be the department you can rest assured of most, and it is also the best team in Cochin from the inside out!"
MacArthur nodded:
"Well done! Keep it up and I will raise the salary for all of you here!"
"As long as they do a good job, I, MacArthur Jason, will never be stingy about rewarding my employees!"
Everyone was immediately delighted, and the atmosphere in the entire office became cheerful and full of joy.
At this moment, a young designer who had been sitting on the table, flipping through design drawings, suddenly stood up straight, pushed up the heavy lenses on his face, and reported to MacArthur:
"Boss, I found the reason why the gun exploded!"
MacArthur was quite surprised. He turned around to look at the young man and asked approvingly:
"What's the problem?!"
"It's a problem with the heat treatment of the barrel!" The young man glanced at his immediate leader, the gray beard, intentionally or unintentionally, and finally looked at MacArthur and said firmly:
"The design drawings say that the raw steel of the gun barrel needs to be cold rolled at 400 degrees twice before it can be cold forged and drilled, but we only did 360 degrees."
The gray beard was furious when he heard this: "360 degrees is correct!"
Obviously, this matter should have happened to him, otherwise he wouldn't be so anxious.
Having just finished praising his gray beard, and now being identified again, MacArthur's face turned ugly again, and he asked the young man in a calm voice:
"what happened?"
"It's him, it's him!" The young man pointed at his gray beard: "The orders he gave did not follow the drawing parameters!"
"Nonsense!" Gray Beard suddenly became furious.
After all, how could you not be annoyed when you finally managed to please your boss, only to be ruined by such a short-sighted young subordinate?
He pointed angrily at the young man:
"The temperature of 360 degrees is the most correct choice! You are still young and you don't understand craftsmanship! Do you understand?"
"The weather in our southern province is hot! After spring, there is a long period of high temperatures of 40 degrees. Therefore, if the 40-degree ambient temperature is added to the 400-degree standard, then the actual processing temperature of steel will reach 440 degrees! That is the real exceedance!
"
"You are still too young. We need to calculate the temperature of the environment. Isn't 40 degrees plus the 360 degrees of heat treatment exactly the 400 degrees required by the drawing!"
young people:"."
epic:"."
MacArthur was stunned.
Unpredictable also felt a little stiff on his face.
What a genius!!!
This algorithm is so weird, so weird and reasonable!
Even people like me who didn’t learn math well in elementary school can understand it!
This brain circuit is simply invincible.
How can he be the leader of the design team at this level? Mobi finally knows why there are so many messy weapons in the showroom.
MacArthur's face was almost dripping with water, and he turned around and left.
Unpredictable and Shi Shi quickly followed.
As if feeling really embarrassed, the richest man in the federation suddenly stood still and shouted to the Hesse soldiers on both sides:
"Go and drag out the guy with the gray beard inside!"
"Beat to death with sticks!!!"
After saying that, he made a gesture of invitation to Mozhi and Epic, and silently led the way.
As for the screams and the like, of course Mu Zhi couldn't hear them.
Following MacArthur, we climbed to the third floor.
This is naturally the office of MacArthur's boss. It is similar to the local style of Hesse. The boss's office not only occupies an entire floor, but is also very luxuriously decorated, many times more luxurious than the unpredictable captain's office.
After all, since he is the richest man in the federation, his standards are certainly much higher than those of a small and unpredictable director.
Seemingly because of the continuous fooling himself just now, MacArthur no longer talked about the topic of Cochin Rum, but ordered the maid to open a bottle of fine wine in the collection to entertain the two allies who had just reached a cooperative relationship.
In fact, I can still read a little embarrassment on his face. After all, Epic is the future saint of Hesse. The cooperation between the two parties was originally smooth sailing, but I didn't expect that this series of episodes would embarrass the richest man in the federation.
Just when the three of them were sitting down to have a drink and chat, the servant outside the door knocked on the door and announced:
"Mr. Jason, Mr. Castroel is here."
"Oh?" MacArthur was slightly surprised and thought briefly for two seconds before turning to look at Epic:
"Elder, you can meet Mr. Castrol."
"Their family is the famous Megan family in the southern province. At the same time, the Megan family is also an important supplier of gunpowder to the Cochin Rum Company."
Hearing this, Shi Shi nodded slightly and did not refuse.
Now that an alliance has been reached with MacArthur, good communication and mutual understanding between the two parties are still necessary. MacArthur's willingness to introduce important suppliers is not an unreasonable request, but to show sincerity to the new allies.
Afterwards, the man known as Mr. Castrol entered the door under the guidance of his servants.
This gunpowder supplier from Cochinram is about forty years old, of medium build, and has the short sideburns that are quite common among the Hesse people.
When he entered the door, he saw the epic and unpredictable figure sitting next to MacArthur. Castro was stunned for a moment, then smiled and saluted with his hands clasped together:
"Mr. MacArthur!"
"Hesse's future first saint, Ms. Sophia!"
After saluting the two of them, he turned to look at the last Director Mo Da. The smile on his face disappeared and he said in a deep voice with a hint of fun:
"I didn't expect that Director Mo is here too!"
It was difficult to predict the deep hostility from his expression and tone.
Not only that, there was a faint fluctuation of the source of symbols coming from Mr. Castroel's body, as if he was ready to explode at any time.
The contractor looked like an orange-level person. Mo Zhi was confused. He had never met this person before, or even heard of him. He didn't know where this hostility came from.
"Mr. Castroer is an important partner of mine! Not only is he the eldest son of the Mason family, but the Josestan Company under his name is also a famous enterprise in the southern province." MacArthur introduced without hesitation of praise:
"He is also the guest I invited for today's luncheon. We just meet today. We can collaborate with each other in the future."
Although he saw Castroel's hostility towards the unpredictable, as the host, the richest man in the federation naturally did not want to stir up trouble at this time, and based on the principle of stability, he tried to appease the new guest and Director Mo.
Castrol smiled insincerely upon hearing this, replying to MacArthur's intention, and turned to face the epic:
"The pearl of Hesse! The future saint! You are simply more charming than the rumors say."
"Just looking at you, I am already deeply fascinated."
After saying that, he actually leaned down and performed a foot-kissing ceremony that only a Hesse man would do to a distinguished lady.
The most annoying thing about Epic is this, but on this occasion, it’s hard to refuse.
However, this Castrol seemed to already know the relationship between Director Mo and Saint Hersse. While leaning down, he glanced at Mo Zhi provocatively. Then he lowered his head and knelt down with cold eyes, and kissed the epic.
on the instep.
As if he thought this was not enough, he tilted his head at the same time, and while looking at the unpredictable again, he stuck out his tongue and licked the instep of the epic in a playful way.
