Five hundred and thirty seventh chapter live ammunition test
Anthony looked at William with his eyes closed for a few seconds before saying, "But now many people in middle and high-level positions in the company are politicians who left with Ms. Catherine. I'm worried,"
"It doesn't matter." William waved his hand to interrupt Anthony. "The defense supplies company is somewhat special. These people who used to be politicians are what we need now.
Secondly, I control how much the company's products are sold. As long as there is no cheating or corruption, I don't care about the rest. You just need to ensure financial independence."
Regardless of whether it is a company or any group, William still knows the necessary supervision, but with Sunday here, William is not worried that the internal affairs of the company will escape Sunday's eyes.
"No problem, boss." Anthony nodded seriously, and then smiled, "The other shareholders probably know that the company can't survive without you,
So they didn't interfere financially, they just asked us to have the financial experts they hired check our accounts every six months."
"Well, it's no problem at all. It's all the measures that should be taken. Let them investigate."
After chatting in some more details, I sent Anthony off at ten o'clock in the evening, and suddenly reported on Sunday, "Sir, I must remind you that as I am responsible for more and more things, my main server will soon be unable to cope with the huge calculations.
You have to spend money for me, Master."
William rolled his eyes, "Damn it, how long did it take to upgrade you last time, and you have to spend money again so soon?"
But now William is not short of money at all, and he can still afford the necessary investment, but after thinking about it in a flash, he asked Sunday, "How is the base in Yellowstone Park? Isn't there a big server group there?
Why not use the server there".
"Sir, you gave me the order before to close that base."
"Then I'll authorize you to use it now. I'll have to check if the base has been cleaned up when I have nothing to do that day."
"It has been thoroughly cleaned and you can go and take a look at any time."
Early the next morning, while having breakfast, I saw comprehensive reports on yesterday's crisis on the news. Not only was Speaker Eli arrested directly,
The fingertips were still vaguely pointed at the military-industrial conglomerates. As soon as the stock market opened in the morning, the stock prices of all military-industrial conglomerates began to fall slowly.
Surprisingly, these companies did not take any protective measures. Many people who already knew the inside story knew that this was just the beginning of chaos.
Once the judicial institutions of the United States begin to take action, we still don’t know how many military-industrial companies will be unable to hold on, and how many former bosses will be imprisoned.
But this has nothing to do with William, and he doesn't care.
In the next few days, Catherine led more than twenty subordinates to deal with the live-fire test, while William was only responsible for making phone calls and announcing some test-related matters to the media.
I don’t know if some people want to use the topic of William to divert attention. In the past few days, all media have begun to focus their reports on him.
Then most of the old and American media focused their attention on him. William also changed his previous attitude of being indifferent to the media and cooperated with him to conduct an exclusive interview.
As soon as the interview came out, most people in the United States knew about the live ammunition test of bulletproof suits, and the preparations went surprisingly smoothly due to the popularity.
On the day when the test started, not only hundreds of media were present, but more than a dozen people in military uniforms with stars on their chests were also present just as Benjamin Arthur said.
"Mr. Devonshire, you can call me General Hawke. It's nice to see you and thank you for everything you have done for us."
The old American has one star for brigadier general and two stars for major general. Looking at the three stars on Hawk's shoulder, you can tell that this guy is a lieutenant general.
"Thank you, you're too kind, please." He led Hawke and a group of ten people to the indoor shooting range.
A row of various long and short guns are placed on a long table, and nine prepared suits are now placed on nine human-shaped targets ten meters away.
"You must be experienced at playing with guns. Are your people here first?" William joked to Hawke, "Lest any rich gentleman hurt himself."
"Haha, no, Mr. Devonshire, you are wrong about this. There are not many people who will come here directly today who are not gun enthusiasts. Otherwise, you can just read the reports in the news, and then you need to go there in person.
trip".
This is true, "Okay, there are nine target positions, and each target position can only fire 10 rounds. If any bulletproof suit is penetrated, I will immediately invite all of you to go to any nightclub to party for ten days."
"Only ten rounds?"
"God, how many more rounds do you want to shoot? This is a bulletproof suit. When you are wearing a bulletproof suit, will you stand stupidly and let others shoot ten rounds?"
"Okay, okay", William clapped his hands to stop the two serious guys, "Let's fire ten rounds first. If there are no problems, we will test how many rounds can penetrate these bulletproof suits, okay?"
"This is a good idea," many people immediately agreed. "It's great to be able to defend against ten rounds, but if it can defend against a hundred rounds without being penetrated, then all high-end bulletproof supplies companies will have to close down in the future."
"Thank you, I accept your kind words." William smiled and nodded to Catherine, indicating that it was time to start.
Half a day of testing passed without you noticing. The bulletproof suit that lasted the longest was specifically designed to test pistols, and it took a full 129 shots to penetrate it.
The one tested with a long gun also took 43 rounds before being penetrated. There was even a bullet-proof suit designed specifically for shooting with Barrett, which blocked an ordinary sniper bullet.
Although the bulletproof suit was not penetrated, it was still severely deformed, and a circular pit appeared on the humanoid target. Although it would not be directly fatal if it hit a person, it would definitely break a few ribs.
But if you put a ceramic plate body armor on the outside of the bulletproof suit, it might really be able to prevent Barrett.
At the end of the test, everyone saw with their own eyes that the protective power of this bulletproof suit was ridiculously strong. The only problem is that the asking price of 5 million pounds is really too expensive.
Especially Hawke, who wanted to give one to each of his most elite men, was very moved and heartbroken.
"Sorry, General Hawke, you have to ask Catherine about sales." William shrugged at Hawke who wanted to negotiate with him. "Ms. Catherine is the CEO of the company now. She is responsible for all operational matters. Even I can't."
There is no way to give you a discount directly."
When negotiating orders with the old American military, William was relieved to have Catherine, the former England Security Minister, because when they first met, some generals with stars on their chests even saluted Catherine specially when they first met her.
This also made William secretly happy to find Catherine as the CEO of the defense supplies company.
After saying sorry to Hawke and his party, William turned to the rich people.
