St. Jose took a sack of pineapples from Sean’s house, had the Thunder Cross players load them into the car, and they headed to the brewery together.
Director Marsala is directing and arranging a new round of beer brewing operations in the brewery. The entire brewery is in order and has a charming malt aroma. Saint Jose is a little intoxicated.
I called the factory director and asked him to come to the laboratory to debug the machine and prepare to experiment with a new gadget.
St. Jose took a fruit knife and quickly peeled a pineapple and placed it on the chopping board. The whole laboratory suddenly had a strong aroma of pineapple, which was sweet and delicious.
"Boss, what new products are we going to produce this time?"
Marsala has become familiar with Saint Jose recently, and he is no longer as reserved as he was at the beginning. He is somewhat familiar with him.
Masala asked curiously, then picked up a piece of cut pineapple with a skewer and took a bite. The juice overflowed. It was really sweet and filled the entire taste buds.
"Masala, I need you to develop and produce a new product, pineapple beer."
"Boss, what is pineapple beer? Is it pineapple-flavored beer? Or something else?"
"You can think of it as a fruity beer, but one-third the price of beer," St. Jose said, looking at the lab equipment.
"What, it can be so much cheaper. Is it just adding pineapple? Or is it the production process of ginger beer?"
“Have you never made a fruity beer before?”
"Yes, I have used cherries and peaches, but not pineapple."
St. Hesse spent several years in Lingnan Province in his previous life. Cantonese-style pineapple beer was his favorite local specialty drink. At first, pineapple beer had a light alcoholic taste, and later it became a carbonated version of pineapple beer-flavored drink. .
This time, Brazilian pineapples are on the market in large quantities. They are of high quality and low price, which instantly triggered a vague memory in his heart. Brazilian pineapples are a product of a special period and were only launched in March. This is the first time that Saint Jose has eaten Brazilian pineapples. They are sweet and delicious. Eat it, the taste is also very rich and delicious.
"The taste is like pineapple, but the alcohol content is not as high as beer. It is suitable for the elderly and children, and will not make you drunk."
"Boss, can this thing really sell? Masala quickly cut a few slices of pineapple and threw them into the beer glass that had just been filled with two-thirds of the beer.
"It doesn't taste very good," he said after taking a sip and passing a glass to St. Jose.
"It doesn't seem to be produced this way. The alcohol content should be 1-1.5°. Pineapple is used as the raw material and fermented together. It has the aroma of pineapple." St. Hesse felt that Marsala was joking with him.
“Try juicing it and putting it in,” St. Jose added.
"Okay boss," Masala held a manual press, squeezed out the pineapple juice, introduced it into a new beer glass, and paired it with beer.
"It still doesn't seem right." Saint Jose took a sip.
"Okay, boss, I won't tease you anymore. I'm sorry, but I actually know how to brew it."
Marsala finally couldn't hold it back anymore. This boss really didn't even know how to brew beer, yet he still wanted to produce beer. It was really strange. The beer the boss sold was much better than any other brewery he had ever seen. I have to say that the boss is really a little genius.
"The boss should add rice as raw material,".
"Um, did you add rice when brewing?" St. Jose was a little confused. The raw material of beer is not malt, so how could rice be added? Of course, St. Jose was not too surprised.
"Yes, malt, rice, sugar, hops, etc. are used as raw materials, and pineapple is fermented together to create pineapple-flavored beer." Masala God looked at Saint Jose and continued.
"Boss, it takes time to produce new beer, and it will require new packaging."
"Don't worry about the packaging. I will take care of it and get the finished product out as soon as possible."
"Okay boss, I will control the low-alcohol fermentation time. It should be about three or four days."
Marsala studied it with interest. Pineapple beer was a new fruity beer that he had never heard of before. It sounded much better than cherry beer and peach beer.
The sweet taste of pineapple, plus the aroma of pineapple is indeed higher than that of peaches and cherries, so it may really sell well.
South America actually has a flavored drink called ginger beer, but the brewing method is completely different. It can’t even be called beer, and most men don’t like it.
Ginger beer is a non-alcoholic beverage with a spicy and aromatic flavor, made by combining ginger, water and sugar, fermented by yeast, and then carbonated.
The original Marsala hand-brewed beer took too long. What Maria Brewery sells is not high-end beer. In the past, the beer he brewed took more than half a year, which is far inferior to the speed of industrial brewing, which is fast and good. .
Pineapple beer is a new type of fruity drink invented in New China. It is high quality, low price, and tastes good. It is very popular.
Later, non-alcoholic carbonated pineapple beer was launched, which was also very popular. In the end, during a wholesale price war, the beer was sold for 8 cents a bottle, and it was still produced in aluminum cans. It was extremely outrageous.
But now most of them are produced by small factories, the price is affordable, and the taste is average.
…
While arranging the mass production of pineapple beer, Saint-Jesse also waited for the second batch of industrial equipment and smuggled arms.
This time the transportation of materials was much more troublesome than the last time. It spanned the entire Atlantic Ocean because the United States suddenly controlled the Atlantic Ocean. The cargo ship sent by Thain first went to the port of Sao Paulo, Brazil, and then transferred to the port of the capital of Uruguay, and then transferred other equipment. It took more than a month to enter Putrajaya, Argentina respectively.
Last time, St. Hesse purchased a total of two 10,000-ton giant ship equipment, including some arms and firearms, most of which were stamping, injection molding, mold processing and other tools that can be used by equipment factories, as well as some other research equipment.
Because of the US dollar and pound foreign exchange controls, and Argentina's isolation, Argentina's foreign exchange reserves are all in pounds. Fortunately, Saint Jose's money was exchanged for US dollars from the US plastic bottle press conference, as well as the US dollars earned from the surge in the US stock market, so that it could be purchased. to equipment and weapons that even the Argentine central government cannot purchase.
Argentina was suppressed by the United States, and relations had already eased. However, when the Goryeo War broke out, the United States focused its main efforts there, and Saint Jose was able to transport the equipment of these two cargo ships from the United States.
It has to be said that the diplomatic level of the Bilon government is very problematic. It has offended the world's largest economy and lacks the corresponding strength, which makes Saint Jose increasingly doubt the wisdom of the Bilon government.
After receiving these equipment, Saint Jose immediately dispatched the most important arms and supplies to the Maria Militia, who was also a new member of Thunder Cross, responsible for escorting the supplies to Oran City and handing them over to Guerrero and the others.
…
Jujuy Province, Argentina, the Milky Way Valley, the new location of the Viper Team.
"Team leader, the boss's new batch of supplies has been delivered."
"Okay, let's go take a look together."
I saw two team members wearing special operations uniforms lifting three large wooden boxes from the truck and opening them neatly with a crowbar. Inside were brand-new pistols and ammunition, lying quietly in the boxes.
"This seems to be M1927?" he said in surprise.
Aragorn looked a little confused, picked up a handful, and weighed it. It seemed to be the thing he had used in previous exercises.
"No, this is the M1911A1, not bad, a little better than the domestic Sistima M1927."
Another team leader said. He was holding a manual in his hand and looked through it carefully. The booklet was in English. It happened that this team member knew some English.
When the surrounding team members heard this, they immediately gathered around. Their eyes were green and they each took a handful. Except for the team members who were standing guard, they did not move, but they kept looking here.
Saint Jose got them 200 new pistols this time, and purchased a total of 2,000 M1911A1s for the second time. When they were first delivered to Maria Town, they sent another batch.
"Yes, this is my favorite feel." A squad leader closed his eyes and gently touched the appearance of the pistol. The familiar hand and texture were much better than the revolver.
Pistols are one of men's favorite weapons. The last time San Jose provided only revolvers, it was inconvenient. The revolver could only be fired 7 times and had to be replaced.
Guerrero also took out an M1911A1 from the wooden box, then pulled out the magazine, filled the bullets with his left hand, shot up with his right hand, opened the safety, held it with both hands, aimed at the target in the distance and fired several shots, and the hit rate was It was so high that the newly set wooden targets were broken.
The recoil of this heavy pistol is quite large. If you want to improve the hit rate, you must hold it with both hands. Of course, those who are strong and familiar with this firearm can also hold it with one hand, such as Schwarzenegger who has a body type and is looking cool.
"Familiar feel, 11.43 caliber, weight of more than 1 kilogram, huge power, 7 bullets, unparalleled lethality, I haven't touched it in a long time."
Aragorn held a cigarette in his mouth and took one from the wooden box. He touched this new weapon happily, carefully, as if he were facing his beloved girl, much like he would have just bought a new mobile phone in later generations.
The recoil of the M1911A1 is the largest among today's pistols. The most famous heavy pistol in later generations is the "Desert Eagle" produced by Israeli industry.
But that thing doesn't weigh 80 kilograms, so it can't be held at all. The powerful recoil will make you doubt your life.
The caliber of the M1911A1 is the same as that of the Chicago typewriter, and the bullets are universal. This is one of the reasons why St. Jose purchased this powerful pistol. Of course, the price is relatively affordable.
"The boss really got us something good this time. It's much more practical than a revolver. Holy cow," a team leader suddenly said in English.
"Holy boss, holly cow"
"Holy boss, holly cow"
The people who got the pistols shouted and cheered together. It must be said that the British had a great influence on Argentina and left some strange words.
"Cheers to the Holy Boss!"
Guerrero was also quite excited. This was a romance exclusive to Argentine soldiers, something that the military with powerful military industries could not understand.
There are very few guns and ammunition flowing out of Argentina's ordnance factories, and most of them require a gun license before they can be used.
The pistol is very concealable and suitable for concealment. It can be used with the Thomson and can greatly improve logistics. The first batch of equipment equipped with M1911A1 was actually the newly established second squad. The Thunder Cross withdrew from the militia guard and was responsible for protecting St. Jose. Safety.
The Colt M1911A1 is an improved version invented by the American arms dealer Browning. It has been a brand new version after many improvements. It was initially produced by Colt and Springfield.
Later, during World War I, it was expanded to include American arms contractors. It may be the most produced pistol in the history of human war. During the entire series of service, the United States alone produced 2.7 million pistols.
Later generations, including New China, Brazil, Israel, Argentina, and the United Kingdom, have imitation versions, and even more are not authorized.
Argentina’s domestically produced imitation version is named M1927. Almost all soldiers across the country have touched it during military training. It is deeply loved by Argentine soldiers and the quality is almost the same as the original version.
Unfortunately, the production quantity is not large, and very few are exported. They are not sold at all in the country, and Saint Jose has to pay a high price.
This Saint Jose is the original stock product purchased and produced by Jean Thain from the Springfield factory in the United States. Because the purchase and transportation of this pistol are more troublesome and strict, it took a lot of time to ship it. Last time the Viper When the team was formed, they were still transporting cargo ships in the Atlantic Ocean.
A group of soldiers were excited to experiment with new toys. Although the price of the M1911 was much lower than the expensive Chicago typewriter, it was much better than the revolver purchased last time.
Moreover, this pistol is the only one that all active Argentinian soldiers have used and trained. It is the favorite weapon of soldiers. Compared with those semi-automatic rifles, it is stupid, big and black.
This pistol is also a classic among classics. Guerrero distributed all these M1911s, and the Viper team replaced the revolvers with morale.
…
While eating and listening to the radio in the evening,
Saint Jose heard another bad news. Argentina was... blocked by the United States again. Saint Jose held his forehead and was speechless.
This time the Bilon government got confused again and insisted on the so-called third way without thinking about how much it was worth. As a result, the United States began to treat Argentina coldly again. This is probably the last time the Bilon government will smuggle American arms and products after it steps down. .
Saint Jose was also a little speechless. It was indeed difficult, but fortunately there is good news. The Marshall Plan saved European industry. Now the European industrial level has recovered. Argentina has a good relationship with Western Europe, and they also need new customers.
At that time, the U.S. side of San Jose can use investment to flow funds to places like London and Paris, and then import transportation industrial equipment across the Atlantic. It is estimated that American goods will not be available in recent days because San Jose is no longer available. It meets the needs of ordinary light industrial equipment.
The current batch of American goods is enough for Saint Hesse to digest for a while. There is no American equipment and Western European equipment.
Germany's Krupp, Siemens, Bavarian Machinery Works, Mercedes, Volkswagen, France's Renault, shipyards, Czechoslovakia's Kodak under the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe, Italy's Sofia, the British consortium, and countries such as Spain, Austria, and the Netherlands, as well There is an urgent need to export and make money.
They also have small arms factories, various equipment, shipbuilding, and tanks, which are all quite good.
These all need to be re-planned, and the United States will never let Argentina go.
