After George modified the car that day, he asked the driver to drive it out for two laps around the block, then turn it off and on again, and then drive it around for two more laps, testing it non-stop. Try to verify the practicality of the car battery and electric start.

The next day, George was taking a call from Woodruff in Georgia. Woodruff told George that they had now changed the slogan to the one that George told him. And the response was good, at least it was catchy. Then he invited George to his home in the fall and winter.

On the ranch, people watch the autumn hunting activities.

But when George heard about hunting, he immediately remembered that a well-known arms company would go bankrupt and be resold within two months at the latest. Thinking of the firearms knowledge from Deadshot in his mind, George felt that he was completely

You can try if you have a chance.

Then George asked Woodruff on the other end of the phone: "Do you know anyone from Winchester?"

"Are you talking about that Winchester? Then you have found the right person. I have met their old patriarch and current leader, Mr. Thomas Gray Bennett, several times. My first

Winchester is made in their handicraft workshop. This kind of shotgun is really a custom-made shop that can show its identity."

"Well, yes, can you please introduce me to me? I'm going to pay a visit in the next two days." George didn't tell Woodruff his true purpose, because that would make no sense.

"Okay, wait for my call, I'll call you later."

"Thank you, Mr. Woodruff." After saying that, the two hung up the phone.

Half an hour later, Woodruff called and said that he had been introduced to Thomas Gray Bennett. He could just go to Winchester Company and report his name directly. George thanked him quickly, and then the two hung up the phone.

.

After hanging up the phone, George was thinking about how to deal with this matter. Winchester is not a legendary company among arms companies, but as the older generation of Winchester ages, there is no successor at all.

Able to lift up beams.

Now the old patriarch is 80 years old and still has to deal with the company's affairs. It is conceivable that the family is lonely. Moreover, with the loneliness of the Winchester family, problems have arisen in the innovation ability of Winchester Company.

Under the competition from domestic companies in the United States, it has gradually fallen behind.

George is not too worried about this. He has countless classic firearms knowledge in his mind. He only needs to think of a suitable gun type and bring it out.

After thinking about the matter, George directly took out two pieces of white paper in the study and considered the characteristics of the times. It would definitely not be appropriate to take out something that was too advanced. Then after thinking for a while, George began to draw on the paper.<

/p>

An hour later, the overall shape of a firearm was on the Yueran paper, and the mechanical structure of the firearm was on the other paper.

The gun George chose was the M1 Garand rifle, named after John Canteus Garand, the designer of the Springfield Arsenal. Of course, this man is no longer named Garand.

It was designed by a designer, so George decided to change the name of the gun to the M1 Orwell Rifle.

This gun was the standard rifle equipped by the U.S. Army during World War II in George's previous life. It was also the most famous product of John Garland of the Springfield Arsenal. On January 9, 1936, the U.S. Army began to equip the M1 Plus

Rand, after World War II and the Korean War, nearly 10 million M1 Garands were produced around the world by 1957.

The development process of the M1 rifle is very long. The original design was started in 1921. After the preliminary design was completed, it took more than ten years to change the design of various details to cater to the stubborn but demanding requirements of the U.S. Army.

The design requirements were inconsistent, and after a long period of repeated revisions, the design was finalized and mass production began in 1936. However, after it was put into production, it underwent major modifications again, and it was not until 1940 that it became the M1 Garand rifle we are familiar with.

This gun also has an official name, named "U.S. .30 Caliber M1 Rifle". The M1 rifle has high reliability, high shooting accuracy, and is easy to disassemble and clean. It has proven to be a reliable, durable and effective rifle.

.The M1 rifle has passed the test of all extreme environments with excellence.

It is recognized as the best rifle in World War II. It has also been evaluated as "the most amazing combat weapon that has ever appeared"

And on the basis of the M1 rifle, a 2.5x scope, muzzle flash suppressor, cheek pad and other special accessories can be added, named M1C/D sniper rifle. It can replace the M1903A4 sniper rifle.

The most important thing is that it also has the next generation product M14 automatic rifle and the later M16 automatic rifle. Even Winchester Company invented an M1 carbine during World War II, and George also had specific parameters.

This gun was a self-defense weapon that the U.S. Army wanted to provide for second-line troops during World War II to replace the standard pistol.

Compared with the M1 Garand rifle, the M1 carbine has an easily replaceable magazine and a larger ammunition capacity. It has a higher actual rate of fire and lower recoil. Its shooting accuracy and penetration are better than submachine guns that use pistol bullets. Increase the speed.

The firepower of the M2 machine and large-capacity magazine is "almost" equivalent to that of an assault rifle (the reason why I use "almost" is because its effective range is still too close). Therefore, during World War II, the M1 carbine and its variants were quite effective.

Infantry melee weapons.

Therefore, George has prepared all rifles that can be improved in the future. In other words, George has prepared a series of firearms for Winchester.

This series, even in a new arms company, will achieve good results. And the reason why George fell in love with Winchester Company is,

If necessary, George will also launch various types of pistols, sniper rifles, etc. according to the actual situation. These will have to wait, there is no need to take out too many things.

First, this company represents a kind of sentiment and has an inherent advantage in promoting new products. Second, it has connections in the U.S. military that George cannot match. This is what George values ​​​​most. Third, he already has

production lines and skilled workers.

Therefore, coupled with George's financial support, it should not be a problem to win Winchester. I just hope that there will be no other disturbances in the middle, because George remembers that at the same time, the Winchester family sold the company to a company called Western Arms

company.

Thinking of this, George immediately informed Paul to come and meet him early tomorrow morning. Then they drove to the Winchester company's address together.

Fortunately, it is in New Haven, Connecticut, which is very close to New York and you can drive there directly.

The next day, early in the morning, Paul had already arrived before George had finished his breakfast. After George had a few bites, he asked the driver to drive Paul's car, and Paul drove the newly modified car.

The purpose of driving two cars this time is to test the performance of the newly modified cars on long distances. Driving the unmodified car is also just in case, in case the car breaks down halfway.

After telling Paul the destination, the two cars set off. On the way, George also told Paul the purpose of going to Winchester Company. However, George did not say anything about the current situation of Winchester Company. Because

, these are all estimated by George based on the trend in the previous life. Only when George sees it in person this time can it be used as a basis for judgment.

After all, the experience of the previous life can only provide him with reference, and he cannot follow the historical dates of the previous life. Otherwise, sooner or later, he will suffer a loss. George has always warned himself this way.

George leaned on the back seat, his head resting on the fixed headrest he installed himself. This was much more comfortable than the previous one without support. This set of headrests was only modified by George himself, and there were still many unsatisfactory things.

After chatting for a while, George watched "Of Mice and Men" that Paul brought this morning in the back seat. Yes, the book written by George was finally published. According to Paul, the book was released on the first day of publication.

More than 200 copies were sold.

Paul also said that the publishing house wanted to arrange an interview and get a signature or something, but George thought about it and asked Paul to tell the publishing house that the publishing was only done in New York, and he still agreed, forget about other places. This

Transportation was very inconvenient in that era. It took a week to take a train from the east coast to the west coast.

When Paul arrives later, he will contact the publisher.

In this era, entertainment is relatively scarce, and people usually pass the time by reading newspapers or books. Americans have always had very good reading habits, and it is a good choice to read a book when you have nothing to do.

After dealing with the newspaper this time, George also learned that the newspapers of this era mainly published violent and pornographic magazines, which greatly attracted attention, represented by "minions".

The structure is mainly based on regionalization, that is, across the country, states, cities and counties work together to form a news group. There is no real national publishing newspaper.

Originally, George's plan was to take a certain share of the newspaper group during this economic crisis. However, it was not that easy to buy directly from the newspaper group, but if there was a chance, George still wanted to fight for it.

From this, George thought of the future television project. The first television capable of displaying images was not shown to people until 1924, and there was still huge controversy about the inventor of the television in his previous life.
p>

It won't happen in this life. George kept this matter in mind and waited for the Winchester company's affairs to be dealt with before he could start making arrangements.

Time passed through George's thoughts. When George came back to his senses, they had arrived at Winchester Company in New Haven.

After Paul communicated with the front desk, an assistant took George and the two to a reception room. Then, after bringing two cups of coffee, he told George that Mr. Thomas Gray Bennett was receiving guests and asked him to wait.<

/p>

After waiting for forty seconds, four people walked out from a side door in the reception room. According to George's observation, these people should belong to two groups.

Needless to say, the old man who was accompanied by the assistant just now is the person George wants to meet this time, Mr. Thomas Gray Bennett. The other two are led by the tall middle-aged man in front.

After the four people walked out of the room and saw George, the old man smiled and nodded to George. The other two were expressionless, just glanced at them, turned their heads, and then said to the old man: "Mr. Bennett

, please also seriously consider our company’s proposal. I believe that only our Western Ammunition Company can give you such generous terms now.”

"I will think about it seriously. Just give me a little more time. An old man will always think much slower when thinking about problems. Haha," the old man replied with a smile.

It can be seen that although the old man's situation is not very good, his calm and leisurely demeanor is indeed not comparable to that of an upstart like George.

George also had a guess about the two people opposite the old man. These two people should be the Western Ammunition Company that took over the Winchester Company in the previous life.

It seems that this trip has really come at the right time. If it had been a month later, Winchester Company might have been bought by Western Ammunition Company and then transformed into a factory mainly engaged in distribution production.

After shaking hands with a few people over there, the two people from the Western Ammunition Company left without looking at George again. But it didn't matter that George was here. He didn't have that me-centered mentality. It didn't matter if people ignored him. He didn't mess with him.

I know him, so I don’t have the mentality that if you ignore me, you don’t give me face.
Chapter completed!
