Nightmare wake up

Chapter 578 Provocation
Naturally, Barry didn't want to listen to nonsense, and immediately shouted angrily:

"What's the problem?"

"Quickly find out!"

All the designers were frightened for a while, and then scattered in all directions. Some hurriedly flipped through the thick design drawings on the table, some checked the guns with broken barrels, and some picked up the debris on the ground and put them together. Discuss together in a low voice.
In front of MacArthur and Deputy General Manager Barry, everyone was very efficient, but it 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 replied to the leader:
"Dear Mr. Barry, it stands to reason that there should be no problem with this rifle."

The two leaders did not speak, and looked at the gray beard with frosty faces.

The gray beard obviously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then continued to explain:

"This rifle is called K1098. It is an excellent rifle designed by the Kyushu City Firearms Group. We bought a full set of drawings from them."

"That is to say, this is a finished rifle, not our own development. It stands to reason that there should be no problems."

MacArthur nodded when he heard the words, and asked, "You bought it?"

"Of course I bought it!" Gray Beard nodded quickly and said:
"Although our Cochin Lem has the most elite design team in the whole continent, we have already designed so many creative and advanced weapons in the showroom outside, but you know"

"Weapons need to be tested in actual combat. They need to be continuously improved and polished to gradually become perfect. We now lack the time and opportunity to test them. Therefore, we should properly purchase some mature gun designs and make counterfeit ones in Cochinlam. It's also quite common!"

"This will definitely speed up our production schedule!"

This passage is reasonable and reasonable, and even Director Mo Da thoughtfully agreed.

The deputy general manager Barry nodded slightly: "Yes."

The gray beard seemed to be relieved, and quickly struck while the iron was hot:
"Unless... there is something wrong with the design drawings we got! I mean, the Kyushu City Firearms Manufacturing Company is a federal industry, Mr. Barry, you said."

"Would it be possible for them to deliberately sell us fake blueprints? After all, they belong to the Federation and belong to the Hesse people"

"An enemy?" Barry suddenly turned his head to look at MacArthur:
"There is such a possibility!"

Unexpectedly, he uttered a sentence in his heart, and sure enough, there is no trouble that conspiracy theories can't solve.

It seems that the guy who was in charge of buying the blueprint is going to take the blame.

MacArthur immediately cursed angrily:
"Who is responsible for the blueprints for the purchased K1098 rifle?"

Unexpectedly, all the designers in the room turned their heads and looked at the deputy general manager Barry.

Barry: "."

Unpredictable was stunned for a moment. Good guy, you are so stupid!
Epic almost laughed out loud.

Barry's old face suddenly turned red: "No, Mr. MacArthur, I said something wrong!"

"Don't worry, I am indeed the person responsible for the purchase of K1098, but I swear to the God of Iron, the God of Longevity, and the God of Hesse, that I absolutely did not take kickbacks from the purchase, and I did not embezzle the purchase money of Cochin Lem."

While speaking, Barry straightened his chest:

"I am a great Hesse! With the pride and honor of the Hesse, I will never betray Mr. MacArthur!"

"Money. Hehe, money cannot shake my loyalty to Cochinlam!"

"It's only 48 gold dollars, even if it's 96 gold dollars, it can't make me tempted at all!"

Everyone, including all the designers, looked at Barry again.

MacArthur: "."

Unpredictable smiled secretly, resisting not to make a sound, and looked up at the ceiling.

Epic rolled his eyes, and also endured uncomfortably.

"Come on!" MacArthur shouted angrily.

Several heavily armed Hesse fighters rushed in. MacArthur didn't even bother to explain, and said coldly:

"Drag them out and beat them to death with sticks!"

Barry was stunned, and before he had time to beg for mercy and call for help, he was dragged out by several Hesse fighters.

It took a long time for the sound of begging for mercy to be heard from a distance outside. After that, there was a heart-piercing cry of pain, and finally calmed down.

Mi Ke said to MacArthur admiringly:

"Mr. Jason is decisive, I admire you!"

MacArthur shook his head and sighed helplessly: "Director Mo is laughing."

After finishing speaking, the real boss of Cochinlem looked at the gray beard again and asked:
"How is our current situation? Do you think there is any problem with the operation of the company?"

The gray beard had already relaxed after seeing the death of the deputy general manager Barry. At this time, he heard the boss's question and quickly withdrew his thoughts. After thinking for a while, he replied:

"After all, Cochin Lem 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 in the company."

"Well, this is just one aspect. The more important issue is...Mr. Jason, we can't fully self-govern right now!"

MacArthur nodded, motioning him to continue.

The 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 whole of Cochinlam, the work of our design department is the best!"

"Oh yeah, you just asked about what I mean by autonomy. Well, that's a big problem, we can't make the steel we need for manufacturing, we can't make the copper we need for bullets, uh. You know, There are no corresponding metal smelting factories in the southern provinces."

"In other words, we need to buy these materials from other provinces."

"Even gunpowder, we in Cochinlam cannot produce it ourselves"

MacArthur nodded when he heard the words, and sighed helplessly again.

This shows that what the man with the gray beard said was true and unpredictable, but at the same time he was quite surprised.

This Cochin Lem, even the basic raw materials have to be purchased?
it's jess
Not to mention anything else, if there is a real war with the Federation, as long as the Federation cuts off the transportation lines in the southern provinces, wouldn't it be that this side will run out of ammunition and food.

After finishing speaking, seeing that the boss seemed very satisfied with his analysis, the white beard became excited, and did not forget to take the opportunity to boast about his team again:

"Mr. Jason, our design department can be said to be the most reassuring department for you, and it is also the best team in Cochinlam from inside to outside!"

MacArthur then nodded:

"Great job! Keep it up, I'll raise salaries for all of you present!"

"As long as I do well, I, MacArthur Jason, will never be stingy with rewarding employees!"

Everyone immediately rejoiced, 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 and flipping through the design drawings suddenly stood up straight, pushed the heavy lenses on his face, and reported to MacArthur:

"Boss, I found the reason why the gun exploded!"

MacArthur was quite surprised, turned his head to look at the young man, and asked approvingly:

"Where is the problem?!"

"It's a problem with the heat treatment of the gun barrel!" The young man glanced at his immediate leader, the white beard, on purpose or not, 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 twice at 400 degrees before it can be cold forged and drilled. But we only did 360 degrees."

The gray beard was furious when he heard the words: "360 degrees is correct!"

Obviously, this matter should have happened to him, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a hurry.

Just finished boasting about the gray beard, and now he was identified again, MacArthur's face was ugly again at this time, and he asked the young man in a calm voice:

"what happened?"

"It's him, it's him!" The young man pointed at the gray beard: "The order he gave didn't follow the parameters of the drawing!"

"Nonsense!" Gray Beard was furious.

After all, how could he not be annoyed that he had finally won the favor of the boss, but was spoiled by such a short-sighted young subordinate.

He pointed at the young man angrily:
"A temperature of 360 degrees is the most correct choice! You are still young and you don't know how to craft! Do you understand?"

"The weather in our southern province is hot! After spring, there will be a long period of high temperature of 40 degrees. Therefore, if the ambient temperature of 40 degrees is added to the standard of 400 degrees, then the actual processing temperature of steel will reach 440 degrees! That is the real limit! "

"You are still too tender, we have 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 already dumbfounded.

Unpredictable also felt a little stiff on his face.

What a genius! ! !

This kind of algorithm is really too weird, 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.

At this level, he can still be the leader of the design team?Mo Ke finally knew why there were so many messy weapons in the showroom.

MacArthur's face was already dripping water, and he turned and left.

Mo Ke and Epic quickly followed.

As if feeling really ashamed, the richest man in the Federation suddenly stood still and shouted at the Hesse fighters on both sides:
"Go, drag the guy with the white beard out!"

"Beating to death with a stick!!!"

After speaking, he made a gesture of invitation to Mi Ke and Epic, and led the way in silence.

As for the screams and the like, of course Mo Ke couldn't hear them.

Followed MacArthur, boarded the third floor together.

Here, of course, is Boss MacArthur's own office, which is similar to Hesse's local style. The boss's office not only occupies an entire floor, but also has quite luxurious decoration, which is many times more luxurious than the unpredictable captain's office.

After all, if he is the richest man in the Federation, the specifications are of course much higher than that of a small director who is unpredictable.

It seems that because of the continuous embarrassment just now, MacArthur no longer talked about the topic of Cochinlam, but ordered the maid to open a bottle of treasured wine to entertain the two allies who had just reached a cooperative relationship.

In fact, Mo Ke could still read a little embarrassment from his face. After all, Epic was the future saint of Hesse. The cooperation between the two parties was going smoothly, but they didn't expect that this series of episodes would embarrass the richest man in the Federation.

Just when the three of them sat down to have a drink and chat, the servant outside the door knocked on the door to announce:

"Mr. Jason, Mr. Castrol is here."

"Oh?" MacArthur was slightly surprised, and thought briefly for two seconds before turning to Epic:
"Elder, you can meet Mr. Castrol."

"Their family is the well-known Megan family in the Southern Province. At the same time, the Megan family is also an important supplier of gunpowder for the Cochinram Company."

Epic nodded slightly when he heard the words, but 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 requirement, but to show sincerity to the new ally.

After that, the man called Mr. Castrol entered the door under the guidance of his servants.

The gunpowder supplier in Cochinlam is about 40 years old, of medium build, with the short sideburns that are quite common among the Hesse.

When he entered the door, he saw the epic and unpredictable sitting next to MacArthur. Castrol was stunned for a moment, then smiled and saluted with his palms together:

"Mr. MacArthur!"

"Hesse's future number one saint, Ms. Sophia!"

After saluting with the two of them, he turned his head 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 playfulness:

"I didn't expect Director Mo to be here!"

Unpredictable could easily read the deep hostility from his expression and tone.

Not only that, but this Mr. Castrol's body faintly conveyed the fluctuation of the source of the talisman, as if it was ready to explode at any time.

The contractor looks like an orange-level person. Unpredictable is puzzled. He has never met this person before, or even heard of him. I don't know where this hostility comes from.

"Mr. Castrol is an important partner of mine! He is not only the eldest son of the Mason family, but the Josestein company under his name is also a well-known enterprise in the southern province." MacArthur introduced without hesitation:
"He is also the guest I invited for today's luncheon. We just met today, and we can collaborate with each other in the future."

Although he could see Castrol's hostility towards Unpredictability, as the host, the richest man in the Federation naturally didn't want to stir up trouble at this time, and based on the principle of being safe and secure, he appeased the new guest and Director Mo.

Castrol smiled without sincerity when he heard the words, and he replied to MacArthur's meaning, and turned to face the epic:

"The pearl of Hesse! The future saint! You are simply more attractive than the rumors say."

"Just looking at you, I'm already deeply fascinated."

After finishing speaking, he actually bent down directly, wanting to kiss the feet of a Hesse man to a noble lady.

The most annoying thing about Epic is this, but on this occasion, it is hard to refuse.

It's just that Castrol seemed to already know the relationship between Director Mo Da and the Saintess of Hesse, and while leaning down, he gave Unpredictable a provocative look, and then bowed his head with cold eyes, and kissed in the epic. on the instep.

As if he felt that this was not enough, he tilted his head at the same time, and while looking at Unpredictable again, he stuck out his tongue and licked Epic's instep playfully.
