"I didn't know you were so knowledgeable about land warfare!"
"Nonsense, otherwise how do you think I became a general?"
"Then you think my idea is reliable?"
"Definitely, overseas deployments and field training often require soldiers to set up a field base. What are you thinking of? If it really has the effect you said, it will definitely be used in the military. A new milestone has been reached in the history of architecture! Dad, I am a general now, and I will definitely not lie to you!"
"Then you help me?"
"Of course, but I have a few conditions!"
"I know, what are the conditions?"
"First, you must finish college, and don't go to any prestigious school. Go directly to Annapolis Military Academy. The principal is my old superior. After college, you must come to the Sixth Fleet! Second, you must Call home every month and go home at least three times a year, no less than a week each time. Third, that wall of yours cannot be sold to the Army!"
"ah?????"
Shepard just felt like he was hearing something. This old guy just discriminated against the military. He must have discriminated against the military!
"The first is impossible. What is my current status? You want me to go to the Navy to be a warrant officer? The money I earn in one day is higher than the salary of a warrant officer in a year. Impossible! Absolutely impossible. The second is no problem. I promise. And the third one, obviously only the Army would be interested in this thing of mine. If you don’t let me sell it to the Army, why don’t you sell it to the Marine Corps? Those damn poor people only rely on the charity of the Navy to avoid becoming beggars. Yes, do they have money to buy it?"
"Shepard, don't use the Marines to insult beggars!"
"You are insulting the Marine Corps, old man! Why are you doing this now!"
"Nonsense, who asked me to carry this now!"
Looking at the horizontal bars and stars on the cuffs of the opponent's military uniform, Shepard immediately understood. After all, in a certain sense, the old man had entered the inner circle. It was normal for his butt to be crooked. How could a rear admiral replace him? Say good things to the Army and Marine Corps, which are robbing the Navy of funds! Chinese website
"Then how do I make money and what monopoly do I get?"
"Well...then why don't you give the army a little more money?"
"That's no problem, I'll double their quote!"
"That won't work, you have to double it. Those guys are not short of money, so you can just shout with confidence, if you can't figure it out, just come to me and I will help you find a place!"
Shepard rolled his eyes and said it lightly, you are really not afraid of the Naval Investigation Agency investigating, are you?
"Why don't you want to join the navy?"
"Isn't Mitchell here? Think about it, an adult has been drifting on the sea for months or even a year and a half, with only foot-picking men stinking of sweat around him. There are no TV programs, no delicious snacks, no Beautiful girl, isn’t this hell? Sorry, I’m a person who just wants to enjoy himself!”
"What nonsense? Why doesn't the navy have outstanding female officers? Why doesn't it have delicious meals? Do you know how much a warship costs? You are betraying the glorious tradition of our family!"
"When did our family have the glorious tradition of joining the navy? Didn't it just start with my grandfather's generation?"
"It's been around since my generation!"
"Having Mitchell is enough. He is the eldest son and only he can take on this important responsibility!"
"That guy's heavy responsibility has been taken on, and I've prepared another one for you!"
"Then please give him the trouble. Since I was a child, he has always given up to me. Now it's my turn to repay him!"
Old John's eyes immediately widened. This was the first time he had seen such a thing, and how could such a thing be allowed?
"you……"
Seeing that he and his cheap old father were arguing again, Shepard wisely began to change the subject.
"By the way, when will you be promoted to lieutenant general?"
"It's still early for Lieutenant General, and it's not just promotion. The appointment of Rear Admiral was only given to me at the beginning of this year..."
"That's it. It's a pity. I didn't even give it
Your Lieutenant General gift is also ready! "
"You haven't given me the gift for my promotion to Major General yet!"
"That's easy!"
Shepard took out the check from his arms, wrote five zeros with a big stroke of his pen, and then put it in front of the other party with disdain.
"Take it and buy whatever you want. If you don't have enough, tell me!"
Old John looked at the check that Shepard handed him in astonishment, then he laughed loudly, and then he pushed the check back.
"You can keep this money for your own business. There will be many places to use the money in the future. Want to have dinner with me tonight? Invite Smith too!"
"Then I'll call someone else!"
"female?"
"Well, he's British. Mr. Smith introduced me to me. He's now the Minister of Interior of Shadow Company!"
"British, that's good too! As long as they're not Soviet!"
"Why? Because the Soviet Union and we are enemies?"
"Absolutely, and those guys are very rude, have loud voices, and have bad drinks..."
Shepard also found out later that his father had been drunk to the ground by a representative sent by the Soviet Union when he was communicating with his Soviet colleagues. Therefore, the old man's sense of the Soviet people had always been very poor, but he was drunk that time. He was not the only one who fell into the trap, so the so-called shame was purely the old man's own imagination.
After spending two days with his cheap old father, Shepard took Parker back to San Diego. The factory that Old John introduced to him was here. It was a company that had always only dealt with naval engineering business, such as waterways. They are responsible for dredging, military port breakwaters and other tasks.
Therefore, the factory did not have any difficulty in manufacturing the explosion-proof wall that Shepard said was made of polyethylene material and metal lining mesh. The engineers even dyed the explosion-proof wall navy blue for Shepard. , because Shepard was introduced by an old friend of the Navy, so they took it for granted that this was what the Navy needed.
The first batch of blast-proof walls came off the production line in less than a week. Then Shepard tried the quality of these blast-proof walls. Because of the tight schedule, the quality of these blast-proof walls was not as good as Shepard thought, but the filling It is unexpectedly convenient. The engineer operating the excavator installed fifty of these one-meter-square blast-proof wall blocks in less than an hour. Then, these blast-proof walls can be stacked to become a field headquarters. emergency facilities.
"I think it's pretty good, what do you think?"
"Well, it looks okay, but it still needs actual testing!"
Parker, who accompanied Shepard, nodded seriously and gave his professional evaluation.
"That's no problem, I'll just ask them to process 10,000!"
