Workshop office.

Xu Fei read the arms procurement projects announced by North America, rummaged through the drawers, and found a set of CDs and secret keys that he had obtained after Foreman acquired small and medium-sized arms companies in North America.

Then someone sent a brand new IBM military laptop, covered the camera, and connected to the Internet with a German Internet Protocol address through a network switching device from TEP Computer Services.

Install the CD, enter three strings of keys, and log in to the North American Military e-commerce system.

This system is a key project promoted by North America in the field of defense procurement after the M8 incident.

Also called armament system procurement and logistics support.

Simply put, all comprador matters for the North American Military Department are completed here.

The approximate process is:

The North American Military Department is preparing a budget and requires the three services to report figures separately. The acquisition planning departments of the three services will post the data. The North American Military Department Planning Budget is also called PPBS.

After that, the budget is distributed to the procurement departments of the three services, which implement → enterprise bidding → military bid inspection → military procurement → congressional appropriation → enterprise production → military sampling → congressional sampling → delivery.

There are also several branches, such as new weapons development, experimentation, identification, procurement, maintenance, and support.

Another example is the special procurement of each military branch → self-procurement.

Energy projects are the responsibility of the department in charge of peace armaments.

Part of the military aerospace industry belongs to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Some military land transportation and ships belong to North American transportation.

In addition, there are strategic acquisitions, including electronic combat systems, missile management systems, peaceful arms maintenance, etc.

But the system has a ‘priority’.

One is local defense contractors, including Raytheon, Boeing, General Electric/Power, Martin, Grumman, United Defense, Honeywell, Halliburton, Texas, etc.

The second is NATO system suppliers, including BAE, Rolls-Royce, Smith Group, VT Group, Rheinmetall, Hensoldt, ThyssenKrupp, KMW, Dassault, Italy, Italy, Finland, Meccanica, etc.

The third is franchise partners, including Wajima Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Electric, NEC, Nambangzi Hyundai Heavy Industries, bankrupt Daewoo, etc.

Based on the above, not all arms dealers who are qualified to enter the e-commerce system can see all procurement projects.

For example, the small and medium-sized arms companies acquired by Foreman can only see combat uniforms, combat boots, goggles, tactical helmets, and heavy body armor.

Therefore, Xu Fei started two more computers and logged into the United Defense e-commerce system and the Humphreys Base logistics support system respectively.

As a German enterprise, Iron Sheet Company seems to be in the second priority, but in fact it is just a newbie.

Just like when TEP seeks a loan from the World Bank for Settlements, it needs to be reviewed for the first time. Even if it is approved, it will only be given a credit limit of US$1 billion at most.

There will be borrowing and repaying in the future, and the second batch of 2 billion quotas will be granted.

We will continue to borrow and repay, and the third batch of 5 billion quotas will be approved.

In other words: Only when you are familiar with it can you get large orders and conduct rebate operations.

Therefore, the iron sheet company needs to grow from small to large and grow slowly.

And joint defense...

This is one of the largest defense contractors in North America.

The priority in the field of light weapons can be said to be unique.

Otherwise, the Bradley series of infantry vehicles would have been banned long ago.

When TEP changed from a German company to an American company, and Strauss changed from German to American, it was just to keep this.

Through joint defense, we can see more budgets and procurement lists, and then through the Humphreys base logistics support system, we can know who is in charge of procurement, and even through the logistics support systems of the North American base in Berlin, the base in West Asia, and the base in Nanyang. Find more reviewers, sampling inspection leaders...

Things will be easier to operate.

There is no need to look at other people's quotations, your own costs + operating expenses + federal taxes + state taxes + factory director Xu's hard work + iron sheet company's profits = quotation.

"One million sets of three-color desert camouflage, supplied to the Ministry of Land, 5 sets per person... $75 for each piece."

"The new UCP cement-colored camouflage, also known as digital camouflage, is for testing purposes. 100,000 sets are supplied to the Marine Corps of the West Asian Maritimes. A single piece...pays $80."

"300,000 sets of NWUT dark blue camouflage, supplied to North America, single piece...$110."

"It's strange. Marine soldiers wear dark blue. If they accidentally fall into the sea, they will be surrounded by blue. When will they be found?"

"The Marine Corps is wearing cement-colored camouflage in the dry and yellow environment of West Asia. Isn't this a living target?"

"Are the colors of the military types and combat uniforms reversed?

Xu Fei thought for a while and quickly found the samples designated by the North American Military Department and the functions of each clothing module.

That's right, that's it.

“What a genius design!”

Xu Fei was amazed and continued to check the bidding documents.

The two parties are not familiar with each other, and it is better to do less than to do more, so let's just leave it at that.

Moreover, no matter what the other party does, they have no reason to refute.

"There are 1 million sets of ROTHCO waterproof combat boots and 1 million sets of non-waterproof combat boots... Are they designed to be so heavy, are they not afraid of being disliked by the soldiers?"

Xu Fei suddenly remembered the 'reselling' matter that the logistics director of Camp Humphreys had mentioned to him before.

After the summer procurement project was completed, the soldiers got the shoes and sold them all to the citizens of Nanbangzi. Then they bought cheaper and lighter high-imitation goods from the mall and went back to wear them.

"It would be better to first produce 2 million sets according to the standards of the North American Military Department, then slightly adjust the style, reduce the weight, and produce 2 million sets of lightweight models."

"The former is issued to North American soldiers, and the latter is sold to North American soldiers."

"The unit price of the former is US$300, and the latter is sold for US$7 or 80. It's not a problem."

"Sure enough, it is this kind of inconspicuous small order that is the most profitable."

"ESS Profile NVG goggles, FASR tactical helmet, new IBA 'Interceptor' heavy-duty body armor... these are life-saving things, so don't make a fuss about them to avoid tarnishing your own reputation."

"This ILBE drinking backpack... is weight-reduced, thinned, and made in double parts..."

"This... lose weight, shrink, double production."

Xu Fei was busy all morning, and after reorganizing, he found that although it was a small project, the purchase amount was still as high as 1.07 billion U.S. dollars.

If the costs of each link are removed, the company can earn US$700 million.

If we include "double manufacturing", we can earn another 300 million US dollars from North American soldiers.

Adding the two together, the total profit actually exceeded the order amount.

"Is this the legendary, one-size-fits-all profit?!"

Xu Fei couldn't help but look at other small projects through the United Defense e-commerce system.

Panoramic night vision device, you can make it at home.

Finger laser friend or foe identifier? It seems that you can make it yourself.

Electronically stabilized telescope... trivial.

Squad machine gun scope?

Enhanced target scope?

Lightweight laser pointing rangefinder?

Through-wall detection sensing system?

Wrist video wi-fi?

Xu Fei picked and picked, listing all the weapons and equipment that he could produce at home, and found that the total order amount had risen to 2.1 billion U.S. dollars.

I am a novice, so I will definitely not be able to get so many projects.

The United Defense Department must step in to seize the order and then entrust it to the iron sheet company for production.

"It seems that we need to find a reason for TEP to cooperate with the Iron Sheet Company."

"But what excuse can I find... By the way, build an airship!"

"United Defense intends to enter the field of airships. It has technology but no materials. Strauss personally visited Foreman and said all kinds of good things. In the end, Strauss impressed Foreman with an order for light weapons and got a job.

Purchase contract for nylon fiber and carbon fiber skeleton.”

Xu Fei thought about it carefully and found it very reasonable.

Immediately shut down all computers and go to the copywriting area.

The team responsible for moisturizing the Kirov Fish Fried has already edited the video.

The footage includes internal shots of Kirov, flying shots, shots of carrying oversized oil tanks, shots of dropping oil tanks, shots of Boom...

"Send it to the headquarters and let them announce the news."

…

If we say that the airship transportation, airship stealth, airship carrier, and airship launch platform previously envisioned by Ironhide Company are just a concept, it has excited various countries and armament companies, and they plan to purchase some raw materials for research.

Then, the polished video, coupled with the abnormal situation reported by the C-17 flight team of Longshan Base, and the confirmation of Midway Island, mean that the first stealth heavy bombardment airship in human history has been born, and a new era has arrived.
To be continued...
