Commander Tomps has now become one of the important figures of the "Blue Faction" of the Argentine military and one of the leaders of the "Cordoba Gang".
The "Cordoba Gang" is not only synonymous with the original city guard of Cordoba, but is also the leader in the Argentine Air Force. Cordoba is also the base camp of the Argentine Air Force.
The Blue Faction also accounts for a small portion of the navy and army, and also represents some local city guards and the motley crew of the Capital Garrison. Of course, the Capital Garrison has now fallen into the hands of the Red Faction, and the Red Faction is anti-Bilong.
The blue faction is also very complex. Relatively speaking, the blue faction’s nationalism, Catholicism, and pro-Franco tendencies are stronger. While they are naturally close to the United States,
Also appreciating some of the economic and industrial policies of the Bilong government, the blue faction attempts to reduce politicization and increase professionalism to defend the common interests of the military,
This was targeted by Bilon, and the red faction therefore surpassed the blue faction. Of course, to be honest, fundamentally speaking, the red faction and the blue faction have the same interests, and both represent the Argentine military.
St. Hesse has not received any internal information from the Blue Faction, and does not even allow the Falcon Bureau to collect too much information. Life is more important. If he is accidentally killed, he will have to see if he has this level when he jumps repeatedly. Just hug Commander Thompson's thigh tightly.
The current power of the Blue Faction is far less than that of the Red Faction, which has the majority of the navy and army. This is also due to economic reasons. In addition, Bilong had a falling out with the United States in the past few years, which severely damaged the pro-American Blue Faction. Now it has begun to recover and increase its strength.
Originally, it was unlikely that Commander Tomps would reach the level of the Ministry of Defense. A series of events and coincidences after the middle of last year allowed him to take a step further, which also allowed Saint Jose to receive more attention and protection.
Tomps holds a large number of shares in the Argentinian military aircraft manufacturing plant. At the same time, he also holds certain shares in several banks in the city and formed a political alliance.
He is a representative of the military industry and banking industry in the city of Cordoba. He has a lot of money, but the landlords do not have any surplus food. The Ministry of National Defense has too few allocations and orders.
But with Argentina's strength, if it were to build an aircraft, it would be no exaggeration to say that it would be better to buy it than to build it. It would probably be a World War I-level aircraft.
The military industry in Kecheng is a large industry. It requires huge investment, long output time, long-term continuous investment, and long-term continuous investment. This is very unfriendly to the Argentine military, which values interests.
This is also quite different from the Red Army and Navy forces represented by the Putrajaya Small Arms Factory. They also have shipyards in Blanca Port and Putrajaya Port. Luocheng has the Domingo Factory, and the small arms and shipyards are both The input-output is relatively good, especially shipbuilding.
The Ministry of National Defense has very few aircraft purchase orders, which makes the blue faction less powerful now, because several giants have been eliminated by Bilon.
However, the rapid rise of Saint Jose changed this situation and gave the Blue Faction hope to grow stronger. Therefore, under the leadership of Commander Tomps,
The factory in San Jose can also be said to be the "arms factory" of the Córdoba Gang. You can't tell it from the outside.
Talent can make rapid progress and there are not many external enemies. Of course, this also involves sacrificing some interests, such as the transfer of interests from some factories, and some internal support. This is also inevitable.
So when San Jose was interested in entering the military industry, he was more satisfied with San Jose and could not support him financially, because making airplanes was the most important thing and not as useful as guns, ammunition and artillery, so he could only provide some simple products. Helped.
From an economic perspective, the Blues were more interested in promoting industry than the Reds, although this may simply be because their military leaders had shares in industry and banks.
Similarly, the military still has collective ownership of military factories, and military factories have become an important part of Argentina's industrial sector. Therefore, the red faction and the blue faction have the same overall interests, but they belong to two hills, namely Putrajaya. He Kecheng represents the city's interests.
"It's true that there are no factions in the legendary political party. It's all kinds of weird. Isn't it normal for the military to have factions?"
Saint Jose muttered,
He was slowly getting in touch with the core of the Cordoba Gang and the Blue Faction, and Commander Tomps also revealed some information intentionally or unintentionally, which made him feel like a frog in a well looking at the sky from a well, and he could not underestimate the heroes of the world.
…
Saturday morning,
For the new round of bidding next Monday, Saint-Jesse drove to Commander Tomps' house again to talk to him first. At the same time, in order to prevent the suppression of the small arms factory, Commander Tomps's platform must be present.
This time, Commander Tomps was obviously more powerful. There were many soldiers standing guard in three circles outside and three outside, which was better than in Cordoba. Saint Jose didn't bring anything.
"General, we're going to bid on Monday, and I've brought some new goodies."
"What a good thing. You are doing it for the bidding meeting the day after tomorrow."
This time, Commander Tomps wore a military uniform and was even more majestic, but when he saw it was Saint Jose, his expression softened.
"General, you are becoming more and more like a great general, just like Saint Martin."
"Recently, dealing with my colleagues from the Ministry of National Defense, as well as those from the Navy and Army, has almost made my face stiff. Now I'm somewhat used to it." This little guy is really his lucky star.
"General, look what this is." St. Jose took out a bullet from his pocket.
"Is this a 9*19mm German GLU bomb? What's so strange about it?"
Tomps picked up the bullet, weighed it, and examined it carefully, only to find that the writing under the bullet was different.
"RENNES 1951, Rennes, isn't this the name of your factory? Is this the bullet produced by your factory? It is still produced by hand. You can already set up a bullet production line."
The 9mm GLU bullet is the most widely used pistol bullet in the world. Tomps touched the bullet with body temperature and asked doubtfully.
"I brought two Argentine-made MP40 submachine guns and five Walter P38s. I parked the car outside, behind the car."
Saint Jesé said with some ostentation, emphasizing the word Argentina. This is a famous gun, and Saint Jesé also has a bullet production line and a production line.
"Really or not, can you produce this MP40? You always give me a scare or a surprise. I got a pipe some time ago. It was a small surprise. Now it is a big surprise. This time I can definitely kill the red ones. Guys, getting orders from the police force, that’s real good stuff.”
Obviously he knew that Saint Jose would not buy two finished products and bring them back. Basically, he would give him a surprise every time they met.
"Of course, the Schmeisser MP40 submachine gun, which is authentically made in Argentina, is priced better than the original German version and is better optimized.
I also brought two Thompson submachine guns for comparison. This time I will definitely eat up a large chunk of orders from small arms factories. We still have the ability to further optimize and improve. "
Saint-Jesse feels that this acquisition is worth it. The Fritz Bicycle Factory is really awesome. Artillery and grenades are not of use for the time being, but the production of submachine guns and pistols and bullets is highly profitable, and they can also be exported abroad.
This was one of the most valuable products after the acquisition, and Horst really gave him a big surprise.
To be honest, I have been working on reverse engineering m1911a for so long, and I haven’t even seen the hair.
In addition to being good-looking and powerful, the m1991a is really not suitable for large-scale installation, but it is good to get some money back. I lost almost more than 1 million US dollars to buy it, and I am still disappointed.
I was stunned by this famous heavy pistol at the beginning, and hurriedly launched the pistol project.
But without this pistol, Saint Jose would not have entered the military industry, and subsequent development in the soda water factory would definitely be difficult.
"Cohen, you are getting richer and richer now. You can even buy an MP40. What a talent. Come on, I will take you to the military camp to practice shooting."
Commander Tomps was also a little excited. This is a weapon that Argentina can produce. This is a submachine gun that can rival the Chicago typewriter. There is no problem with its performance. And most importantly, San Jose said that it can continue to be improved in the future. This It's incredible.
He took Saint Jose's hand and hurriedly called for people to go to the capital garrison to prepare for target practice.
"General, why don't we have lunch first? It's noon, so the military camp probably needs a rest."
"That's right. Let me make a call first. The food in the military camp is too terrible. That guy Doma will definitely not make delicious food."
Thomas went to the study and made a phone call before asking the cook to arrange lunch for Saint Jose to feast on.
…
In the afternoon, the capital garrison barracks,
Saint Jose sat obediently behind the military vehicle, but it was different having someone as the driver.
Unlike Cordoba, the capital's garrison was located in the suburbs and was not stationed within the city.
Tompus spoke, looking out the window,
"Cohen, the commander of the garrison, General Cordia, is my former classmate. He is from the Red Faction and has a pretty good relationship with me. I once planned to be his son's godfather. It has been almost 20 years."
After finishing speaking, he paused for a moment, then turned to Saint Jose and said:
"In 1943, Argentina fell into chaos due to the coup struggle. The garrison near the capital entered Buenos Aires. Castillo fled in a hurry. After several rounds of internal strife within the army, Ramirez Served as interim president."
"Later, I got a bargain for that guy from Bilong, which many people didn't expect."
"The commanders of the garrison have changed several times. For example, General Avalos is an anti-Bilon. He used to be a member of our blue faction, but now he has gone to retire. Now he is Cordia Doma of the red faction. Of course We have a good relationship, and he is now also from the Ministry of Defense.”
“We in Cordoba didn’t mess with this shit, but we got hit hard.”
Tomps would tell him some history from time to time and seemed friendly and kind. This time he might be able to give him a hard time.
Then they entered the military camp. The two of them didn't speak anymore until they got off the bus at a two-story building.
You saw a man sleeping under the tree in front of your door. If it weren't for the badge on his military uniform, you wouldn't have known he was a general.
When Thomas saw it, he immediately said loudly,
"Doma, are you still guarding here today? Hahaha, today is Saturday, I'm sleeping at home."
Cordia replied coldly:
"You guys, that's not what you said when you called me to beg me just now. At such an old age, you still like to be sarcastic."
Cordia then stood up. He was about the same height as Saint Jose, but a little taller than General Tompus. He was probably about the same age as Tompus, but he was a little fatter and his figure was not as well maintained as Tompus.
"Doma, let me introduce you. This is Cohen, our little hero from Cordoba. He brought a lot of good things today. Please support me when you get there."
"Hello, General Cordia," Saint Jose said without saying much. He gave a standard military salute and then stood behind Thomas.
"Nice to meet you, Cohen. This guy Tomps talks about you a lot, but if it's an imitation of the m1911a, unless the price is much cheaper, you probably won't be able to get an order."
"General, this time is different, it's a new guy, no, it's two new guys."
Saint Jose said confidently.
"Let's go to the shooting range together. I also want to see if you are bragging."
Cordia shook his head, obviously not believing it. Most young people like to talk big. He has seen too many things. He really likes to brag like Bilong.
The soldiers behind followed, carrying three wooden boxes containing bullets and guns.
As the owner, Saint Jose opened the box directly and took out a handful of MP40.
"This is an Argentinian version of MP40. All parts are produced by our Rennes factory. It is very powerful. Two generals, which one of you wants to try it first?"
"Let me try it. Are you sure you didn't buy this from Germany?"
Cordia took the gun and it felt a lot lighter. He looked at it carefully and pulled the safety device, and then he felt a big difference.
The later MP40 had a "locking" device on the charging handle.
When not firing, just press the charging handle lightly and it will be locked directly. The problem of "the gun is prone to misfire" will no longer occur.
"Is this the latest version of MP40? And many parts have been modified a lot, so it looks pretty good."
Cordia carefully disassembled and assembled the submachine gun, looking very professional, and found that this one was far better than the one he visited Germany in 1942.
And it uses a lot of plastic parts. His memory is very good, and he knows many details of the MP40 very well. This gun shocked him very much at the beginning. The one he took did not have a safety device and it misfired at that time.
It is a pity that this gun has almost never appeared in Argentina.
"Then I'll give you a Thomson and let's compete."
St. Jose quickly took out a Thompson submachine gun and handed it to General Tomps.
After debugging the gun, the two loaded the magazine and began the competition.
The results came out quickly and were comparable.
"If this is produced by you, I will lobby you for this purchase. Your MP40 is really good. It has very little recoil and low sound. It is very suitable for use by the police force. Do you have any others that you haven't picked up? come out."
General Cordia was quickly attracted by this submachine gun with excellent performance. It was really a rare and good gun.
"There is also a universal pistol Walter P38, which also has matching bullets and can be used together,"
"It's stable this time, you're going to make a fortune."
After listening to this, Cordia said, this guy Sanjesse can definitely defeat the people at the small arms factory. This is a supporting package. The police are definitely enough to maintain security. Using assault rifles is bullying, and the army has no use for it. What about the assault rifle?
Without body armor, if you are hit by a pistol within a range of fifty meters, you will basically lose your combat effectiveness. Submachine guns are designed based on this feature, with short range, fast firing rate, dense impact points, and suppression. Pistols are no problem.
Thomas stood aside without interrupting. After they finished speaking, he asked,
"Cohen, which submachine gun do you prefer?"
Saint Jose took an MP40, loaded it and fired, hitting the target in one go, and then said,
"I prefer the MP40. It's more powerful. I especially like the crisp and sweet sound of the gun. I don't like the sound of the Thompson submachine gun.
This kind of weapon is only used by gangsters and bitches. It shoots too fast, requires too many bullets, has too little recoil, and is uncomfortable to use. There is also a very important problem: the Thompson submachine gun is too expensive. "
Saint Jose said against his will, "My MP40 is the best in the world. The ones produced by our Rennes factory must be awesome. Anything that can make me money is a good thing."
If I had a production line of Thompson submachine guns, I would also like the charming clicking sound of Chicago typewriters, but to be honest, the cost of typewriters is too high, the manufacturing process is difficult, and it is not cost-effective. The Americans stopped producing them in 1945.
Relatively speaking, the MP40 is better. It is an excellent weapon for the Argentinian police. As long as nothing happens, he will get the order from the Ministry of National Defense this time, even if Jesus comes, it will not work.
"You guys, but to be honest, this MP40 is very good. It can be used for military purposes, but the price must be kept down. It is best to produce more. It is great, Cohen, you have done a great thing."
"Thank you general for your support. I will definitely continue to work hard and contribute to the great republic."
Saint Jose saluted again, Argentina became a republic in 1860.
"Okay, I won't keep you for dinner this time. Let's have a good chat next time when we have time."
General Cordia obviously couldn't have too much contact with Thomas, so he issued an eviction order at about 3 o'clock and asked the two of them to leave.
This trip to the military camp was very pleasant. With the support of the commander of the capital garrison, the success rate increased again.
…
The highest military commander of Argentina's defense system is the president, and the highest decision-making body is the National Security Council. Its members include the president, vice president, and ministers of the interior, foreign affairs, defense, and economy. The president is the president.
The Ministry of National Defense is a department of the government and the highest military administrative agency.
The Liberatore Building of the Argentine Ministry of Defense is located in the center of the capital, adjacent to the presidential palace.
It is the seat of the country's president and his subordinates' offices. It is the highest administrative command center of the Argentine country and one of the most historically significant buildings in Argentina.
It is also known as the "Rose Palace" because of its pink exterior.
In 1898, during his second term as president, President Julio Roga officially announced that the Rose Palace would be the office of the president and the prime minister.
The armed forces are composed of regular troops and paramilitary forces. Most of the paramilitary forces are the Argentine police force, which is currently affiliated with the Ministry of Defense.
This tender was initiated by the police force to prepare for a new round of gun distribution and increased police firepower.
MP40 Rennes police submachine gun, P51 Rennes police pistol, and M1911a Rennes police pistol. St. Hesse shamelessly used these three names in preparation for the Ministry of National Defense tender meeting.
