October 15, Monday, 9 a.m.
Putrajaya, Liberator Building, Ministry of National Defense Police Force New Standard Weapons Tender Session,
There were not too many people at the scene, but there were many important people. The scene seemed orderly, quiet and depressing. People were entering the venue one after another, and the bidding meeting started at 10 o'clock.
Judging from the military personnel participating in the meeting, the overall momentum is still very good. Most of them are full of energy and give people a feeling of confidence. However, the police personnel participating in the meeting are somewhat weak.
This time, a total of 22 municipal police chiefs came, most of them from Buenos Aires and Buenos Aires.
There are also three department heads from the Ministry of National Defense, one from the Supreme Military Commission, and 17 senior military personnel. In addition, the Presidential Palace has also sent several people, and personnel from the Buenos Aires City and Provincial Governments have also participated. Very full.
In fact, there were only three companies participating in the bidding meeting.
1. The Putrajaya Small Arms Factory-Domingo Mat Small Arms Factory, which is headquartered in Putrajaya, is a joint bidder. It belongs to the red faction of the military. It is a serious old military factory and an old partner for decades.
2. Rennes-Fritz Military Industries, also located in Putrajaya, is a newly emerged dark horse in the military industry. It is rumored to belong to the blue faction of the military. It has also been vigorously campaigning and even appeared in some newspaper news, for fear of others. have no idea,
3. Argentina Bosa Pistol Company, headquartered in Luocheng, specializes in the production of R&D pistols. It is good at producing compact mini short pistols and revolvers. It is a centrist company with an unknown background. It also has a certain market. It is not too famous now and is an old factory. It is often The performance of the background board is still very reliable.
In comparison, among the three factories that got the mark, Rennes was the most popular one, with crazy hype.
It is said that Rennes' new product has been exported and sold to the French. It is quite impressive. The boast is very impressive, but I won't tell you what kind of gun it is. It is just like a press conference. It is the essence of hype, and everyone is not optimistic about it. I feel like this guy is probably just here to touch porcelain.
There are no foreign arms companies that are bidding for tenders. Normally, the Putrajaya Small Arms Factory is full and just goes through the motions.
Then just distribute some of the dregs of parts production and go out, but this time it is obviously different. Rennes Military Industry is just a company established less than a year ago. It can also be called a small arms factory. Everyone has a question mark.
But this time, Renne originally only had the endorsement of the military rookie Commander Tomps, and there was an additional General Codit of the garrison, so this time the Ministry of Defense also paid special attention to it, and even some big shots came to see it. join in the fun.
For the first time, the Ministry of National Defense found some knowledgeable people, held a formal bidding meeting, set up some judges, and even conducted on-site live-fire tests, which gave it a bit of a reputation.
In fact, the purchase volume this time is not too large. The 10,000 battle police officers just changed their weapons. Originally, they just purchased a few pistols and that was it. The m1911a was the focus of this purchase and everyone liked it.
But Catfish Renn not only proposed a lower purchase price, but also brought new gadgets. Based on the broken confidentiality system, it was soon known that they were submachine guns and pistols, and there were three products with very powerful backgrounds.
The small arms factory that heard the news was not calm and directly produced some semi-finished products to participate in the bidding meeting, including some new submachine guns and some semi-finished pistols.
They were very vigilant and well-prepared. In contrast, Rennes Military Industry was more confident. Among their three items was a heavyweight, and with the matching pistol, it was basically a sure thing.
Rennes Military Industry is led by Professor Dahn this time. He has the highest prestige in the new company and knows many people. He can control the factory.
He is also the oldest and most knowledgeable in the new company, and he does not fight for power and gain. He can be regarded as the anchor of the new company. An old man in a family is like a treasure.
And it was related to both old and new employees, which was pretty good. Also present at the meeting were personnel from the Flats Small Arms Factory headed by Horst, but Saint Jose did not attend.
The purpose of this special tender by the Ministry of National Defense was to distribute police weapons and equipment. At this time, the local police departments were nominally affiliated with the Ministry of National Defense. Saint Jose also found it a bit strange and quite chaotic.
Normally, the police force should be independent and parallel to the Ministry of Defense.
The two should not be in a subordinate relationship and should both belong to the leadership of Argentina's Supreme Military Council.
This is a large-scale paramilitary force. Although it can only fight against criminal gangs and the like, under the suppression of various city guard systems, the police department was quite weak and had little success.
The reorganization of the National Defense Forces last year allowed the National Police Agency to increase its power a lot.
After a boring opening speech, the host directly asked the three factories to send people to the field. The Rennes factory was the first, the small arms factory was the second, and the Bosa factory was the third.
Horst also received public speaking training from St. Hesse, changed some of his speeches, and was fully prepared.
"Hello everyone, I am Horst, the representative of Rennes Military Industry. Simple is more difficult than complex. You have to make great efforts to simplify the complex, but it will all be worth it in the end, because once you do it, you will Can work wonders, today I’m going to bring you a fantastic gun combination.”
An opening statement immediately caught everyone's attention. Horst continued,
"This time I will be responsible for introducing the MP40 Renne-style police submachine gun produced by our factory, as well as the P51 Renne-style police pistol. Among them, the MP40 submachine gun is the latest masterpiece of our factory."
Shameless, so shameless. It was obviously made by the Germans, but you directly attribute it to your own. It is so shameless, Pastor Leiter, general manager of the small arms factory, thought to himself.
Most other people think the same way. Most of them yearn for Germany and must know the famous MP40 gun.
On the contrary, Horst had no psychological pressure. Even under the influence of Saint Hesse, he gradually accepted this shameless statement. If you give you a copycat, you can't save it. This is strength, and the production of weapons is not called a copycat. It's called reverse engineering, do you understand?
"This MP40 is a brand new version that you have never seen before. It has upgraded safety performance and reliability. It can adapt to tropical forests or ice and snow.
To sum up, the MP40 is a very mature submachine gun. It has a simple structure and is easy to disassemble and assemble. It does not require any tools to disassemble the whole gun. Moreover, it performs very reliably on the battlefield and has been tested in World War II.
The failure rate is still very low in harsh environments, and it can be used from south to north across the country. After many experiments, we have found that the performance is much better than the Thompson submachine gun, and it is also more powerful..."
"Everyone is welcome to come and experience the shooting range of the Ministry of Defense. We have 20 MP40 submachine guns and 10,000 rounds of ammunition in reserve. Now let me talk about the Rennes P51 police pistol. It uses the same pistol ammunition and can be completely seamless. Butt..."
Horst made a submachine gun extremely impressive, and made various technical comparisons with Thomson, making everyone feel that it was at least twice as awesome.
"Do you have any questions for me?"
Horst saw that the scene was not very active, so he followed the cold start plan given by Saint Jesus and used his trump card.
"I would like to ask, what should the police do if they encounter a gangster with an assault rifle? The firepower of a submachine gun is obviously inferior. What if the gangster wears a body armor?
Pistols and submachine guns can't defeat them. Are 9mm bullets not powerful enough? Why not just use rifles? The only way to suppress assault rifles is assault rifles. "
There was a mentor directly at the scene, which was arranged in advance, and a series of pointed questions were asked.
The people at the scene were also attracted by these tricky questions, which is surprising.
"This is a good question. The general asked it well. Pistol bullets are definitely not as powerful as rifle bullets. This is normal, but at short range, they are actually about the same power. Submachine guns are very suitable for urban combat because there are many buildings.
Submachine guns use pistol bullets, which have many advantages, one of which is,
It is not easy to accidentally injure civilians after penetrating the target. This is very important for us to protect civilians. Most of the time, criminals are not particularly scary. If the gangsters basically do not have body armor, the police use submachine guns and pistols.
It is better not to use short assault rifles. After all, assault rifles are for attacking external enemies, but submachine guns are for internal enemies.
Moreover, submachine guns and pistols use the same bullets, which is very convenient for logistics. If the gangsters are equipped with a large number of body armors, the submachine guns will not be able to penetrate them.
This is an extreme situation, and you need to replace it with a short assault rifle. If you really encounter gangsters using assault rifles, if you encounter this situation, it is recommended to call the army to suppress it. This is already a rebellion, and there is nothing I can do..."
The audience burst into laughter, and the police chief began to agree with this view. Now most police stations only have pistols, and some use revolvers.
But some gangs have begun to use more powerful weapons, and submachine guns are a good supplement of firepower, and they are using assault rifles. Should the police be sent out to die? They can directly send troops to suppress it.
The current police department in Argentina only has ordinary police. Armed police and special police have not yet appeared, and their firepower is very weak.
"It does make sense. Our police firepower is so pitiful that even gangsters use Thomson. It's normal for us to use MP40. I just don't know the price."
"Support domestic production. I like this gun as soon as I see it. If the power is really good, I will report to the city government to get special funds to purchase a batch directly. There are a group of big gangs in our city that need to be cracked down."
This is the police department that did not participate in the bidding meeting. I plan to go back and write a note immediately. This is really great.
"Yes, why didn't I think of it? It must be started."
"If you want to buy one, just buy a complete set. I just don't know how the Domingo Factory's products are like. Let's continue to see."
"Now, the exciting and anticipated moment has arrived. I believe everyone must think that such a powerful product is very expensive. You can guess the wholesale price."
"Our lowest purchase price is 40 US dollars per gun. It only costs 40 US dollars. The more you buy, the cheaper it is. Each bullet comes with 36 rounds. Additional purchases are extra..."
With a bang, the whole venue suddenly became noisy, crazy, really crazy,
40 US dollars, a terrifyingly low price. Everyone in the audience had only one thought: Is this fake? It’s so cheap? Don't you make money? You are so patriotic.
You must know that the current cost of a Thompson submachine gun is US$45, and the price of an American Thompson submachine gun in 1939 was US$209.
By 1942, it had dropped to US$70, and in 1945 it had dropped to US$45. This was due to large-scale purchases, and Thomson's output was close to 2 million.
The cost of the M3 Butter submachine gun is US$20, and the cost of the MP40 is estimated to be at least US$25.
And this is only the cost price, plus overseas transportation and retail R&D costs, the ex-factory price is generally priced at about double. Domestic procurement will be much cheaper, but not much less.
At that time, Saint-Jesse bought Thomsons in bulk in the United States. The price was no less than 80 US dollars a handful. They were expensive but not available in the market. He had to transport them back by himself, but he almost cursed his wife.
Horst also introduced the price of m1991a, which is also very cheap. You only need to earn some processing fees to get some blood.
"The Rennes factory said very well. We also launched a submachine gun this time, the PA2-type 9mm submachine gun, which was improved to the Pa1-type submachine gun.
The main improvement is to add a single-shot shooting function and add a grip safety. Only when the safety handle is held tightly can the bolt be released from the safety iron. "
"The bidding price for our submachine gun is $45."
This is a replica of the M3A1 submachine gun produced by Domingo Factory, which is also the "grease gun" produced by General Motors, also called the M3 grease gun. It is cheap in price, but it is too ugly. It can only be said that it is not good-looking.
To be honest, when they learned that the Rennes factory was giving MP40 and the bidding price was US$30,
He knew that this purchase had nothing to do with them, but he had to brag about it. Originally, he wanted to quote 50 US dollars, because his mass production price would only be 30 US dollars, but after hearing the price quoted by the Rennes factory, he temporarily Change it to 45 dollars a piece, but it won’t sell anyway.
Finally, there was Bosa. They bid for the pistol project, and the introduction lasted for 10 minutes.
This bidding meeting was conducted by Rennes Company just like the subsequent press conferences. Many people were blown away and wanted to snap up a few. However, after the final results came out, they also fully took care of the other two companies and took some orders.
"Next, I announce that the winning bidder for this procurement is Rennes Military Industry, with 9,000 MP40s, 9,000 P51s, and 1,000 M1951As."
"Putrajaya-Domingo Factory won the bid for 1,000 PA2s and 1,000 M1927s from Sistima."
"1,000 TPRC1950s from Bosa."
In this Ministry of National Defense press conference, Rennes won the big prize, then Buming Factory, and finally Bosa Factory, which surprised most people.
Speaking of Bosa, he was most famous for the first World Cup in 1930, when Argentina played against Uruguay. In the end, the host Uruguay and Argentina advanced to the final, and the two sides will compete for the first World Cup trophy.
Nearly 40,000 fans in Argentina chanted the slogan "Fight or die", crossed the Paraná River, and poured into Montevideo to cheer for Argentina.
As the home team, Uruguay fans were already well prepared. 60,000 fans poured into Centenario Stadium for the final, hoping to see Argentina surrender again.
Because the atmosphere of confrontation between fans from both sides was extremely tense before the game, the Uruguayan government had to increase security and take tough measures to search fans entering the stadium one by one.
As a result, more than 1,600 revolvers were found from the fans who arrived at the scene. Most of them were produced by the Bosa company. They became famous in one fell swoop. Of course, they later attracted many friends. They were the second-in-command in the millennium, and now they are Rennes military industry surpasses.
If this is brought into the stadium and fans from both sides disagree and draw guns and start a fight, it will be a large-scale fan war in the stadium.
At that time, the Uruguayan government dispatched 2,000 police officers for the final.
Argentina at that time was considered to be full of martial virtue, but unfortunately, the final result was that Uruguay defeated Argentina again 4:2 and lifted the World Cup for the first time.
Argentine fans, who were defeated twice by Uruguay, could not conceal their disappointment and anger. In Putrajaya, a large number of people gathered in front of the Uruguayan Embassy to vent their dissatisfaction by throwing stones, which was similar to Turkey's burning of the Russian flag.
…
The newly established Rennes Military Industry has actually caused a lot of problems in getting started. There are hundreds of people, all kinds of people. Not to mention that now Rennes Military Industry has quickly grown to more than a thousand people and has 9 factories, which seems a bit disorganized. No synergy can be achieved, and the factory wastes resources virtually.
St. Jose definitely can't sit back and watch. As a boss, he is never idle. Apart from going to school, he arranges to dismantle and transport equipment every day.
To cut through the mess quickly, use two factories as a unit, divide and hand over the equipment, people follow the equipment, and then form a new factory and a new team.
Of course, 8 of the factories are small in size and have scattered equipment. This time, they were reorganized into 3 factories, including the Flats Small Arms Factory, which is one of the three major entities that constitute New Rennes Military Industry.
They also split off the bicycle production equipment, bit by bit, found a larger one in the factory, and established a new bicycle factory, merged into the Rennes Company, specializing in bicycles. Mosquitoes are still meat, and bicycles can at least be It is not a problem to remain popular for another 70 years.
Other heavy equipment was also transferred to the Rennes Gun Factory and reorganized into the Rennes Gun Factory.
The purpose of St. Hesse is also very simple. Rennes Military Industry only has two factories for the time being, and it cannot afford more. It is a waste of money.
They are the Rennes Gun Factory. The new factory is located next to the research institute and covers an area large enough. It is mainly responsible for the development and mass production of artillery and large-caliber heavy weapon machine guns.
We have received a lot of molds and tools from the Flats Factory. The old employees have some experience from the explosives factory Maria Mold Factory, and a lot of technical staff have been allocated. There are ready-made molds for artillery mortars and grenades, so it is good to develop these. Some are consolidating resources these days.
The gun factory did not participate in this bidding meeting. It was busy debugging new equipment and handing over the production line of money-losing pistols, which also made these old employees breathe a sigh of relief and go into battle with ease.
Flats Small Arms Factory will buy another large factory building to combine the small arms production lines of eight small factories into one large factory production line. It will also save transportation, improve production efficiency, and reduce production costs. As for the small factory buildings, Use it for other purposes.
The Flats factory is responsible for the mass production of small arms, submachine guns, pistols, and even future assault rifles. It is currently the largest factory with the most employees, and the equipment data personnel of the m1911a have also been transferred there.
The Rennes Institute continues to be responsible for providing technical support and is a three-legged pillar.
Augustine, the director of the Rennes Military Industry and Gun Factory, has shown good leadership and coordination skills. He has been busy coordinating the gun factory recently, and so far, he is doing pretty well.
Horst has a low-key character and has contributed the most. This bidding is actually based on him. After all, the two most important products are provided by him, and the company's key research direction is how to produce more cost-effective guns and ammunition. and improve the version.
The Renne Research Institute led by Professor Dahn recently has become more and more successful. Together with the old friend,
The strength of the Rennes Research Institute has increased dramatically, which has truly revolutionized the new company's R&D capabilities. This is the first company in St. Hesse to have R&D capabilities, which is not easy.
