After preparing for so long, the British will not be easily let go, but at this time, they have to be slaughtered. However, you must also grasp the scale, and you will be the next one after you are greedy and wait for the other party to clean up Argentina.

In fact, what Bao Zixuan cared about most at this time was not how much money he could make, but what the British wanted to give him. Otherwise, it would be too much of a loss to spend such a large amount of money. After all, the premise investment is not small.

Richard said: "When can other aircraft be delivered, at this time the empire has mobilized for war. This time the Argentines dare to break ground on Taisui, then the empire has no other choice."

Bao Zixuan: "It's been a week, but now there is still a problem. Although it is a transportation task, it will inevitably encounter danger. Is it necessary to install a weapon system to deal with a crisis situation?"

Richard: "Of course it's best if you can install weapons, then the Xiangjiang monster will have a much higher chance of surviving on the battlefield."

Bao Zixuan: "There is no problem in installing weapons, but they have to be installed in the UK. Heiyun is not a military industrial enterprise and does not have a military industrial license. It is illegal to modify military industrial products without permission."

Hearing Bao Zixuan finish speaking, Youde and Richard fell into deep thought. It turned out that the purpose of Bao's richest man was a military license.

They all know that the British Empire has never authorized military licenses for local companies in the colonies. This hole cannot be opened. If Heiyun Group is authorized by the military license, then with Bao Zixuan's character, he will definitely dare to develop any weapons and equipment that he likes and finds useful.

However, if the other party's military license is not authorized, it is very likely that the ground effect aircraft will not be obtained. Even if it is obtained, it can only be used as a means of transportation, and it cannot form its own combat power at all.

To become a military enterprise, you must obtain a military license issued by the government. Only military products produced by licensed companies are considered legal. Of course, it is not difficult to become a military industrial enterprise.

The so-called military enterprises are the product of the evolution of war and the development of social productive forces. With the development of science and technology and changes in the needs of war, the scale, structure and organizational form of military industrial enterprises have been continuously adjusted and changed. The products produced have gradually expanded from simple weapons and equipment such as guns and ammunition to the production of aircraft and tanks. , ships and other large-scale weapons and equipment, as well as nuclear, chemical, biological weapons and information weapons and equipment, the product structure is increasingly complex, the combat performance is leaping development, and the technical content is constantly improving. After the Industrial Revolution, in order to enhance the strength of the military, many countries invested by the government or the military to build factories specializing in the manufacture of weapons. For example, in the mid-19th century, the United Kingdom established factories specializing in the manufacture of guns, ammunition and warships, which became the prototype of military industrial enterprises.

At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, new science and technology were widely used in the military. TNT explosives, airplanes, radio transceivers, etc. were invented and produced successively. The types and numbers of weapons increased, and private investment for the purpose of profit entered a lot. In the military industry, a large number of private military industrial enterprises have been established, and the types and number of weapons manufacturing factories have increased sharply, gradually forming a military industrial enterprise structure dominated by private enterprises, supplemented by a small number of state-owned enterprises. After entering the era of imperialism, monopoly capital vigorously strengthened its weapons production capacity for the needs of capital export, plundering of resources, and aggression and expansion, and the proportion of military-industrial enterprises in the industry increased rapidly.

Now that Bao Zixuan wants to make Heiyun Group have the qualifications to produce military products, any military products developed and produced in the future will be recognized as legal, and it will be even more difficult to control them. And even if you are the governor of Hong Kong and the commander of the Hong Kong garrison, the two have no right to authorize the military license of the Black Cloud Group.

Youde: "Baosheng, this matter is not something we can decide. It is beyond our scope of authority. But I will report this to London, and I will try my best to fight for you."

If he would have refused without hesitation in normal times, but now it is a wartime state. Heiyun Group is an enterprise that can contribute to the war. If the army cannot use the most advanced weapons because of the lack of military production qualifications, then they are sinners.

Richard: "Let's first experience the performance of the Xiangjiang monster. After all, even if we apply for a military license in China, we need to see if it is worth it."

Since they wanted to check it out, Bao Zixuan brought a few people to the pier. Seeing such a behemoth as a ground-effect aircraft, Richard knew from his many years of military experience that this guy is definitely a great artifact of strategic transportation. If a weapon system can be installed, it will definitely be a nightmare for warships.

Richard: "Bao Sheng, what stage is the Xiangjiang monster in the test flight now?"

Bao Zixuan: "The basic subjects have already completed the test flight, and the overall performance is very good. The next step will be the test flight work in high temperature and low temperature environments. For this reason, the aircraft will be transported to the desert areas of the Middle East and the Antarctic glaciers for flight tests."

Hearing that the aircraft will also be tested in high temperature and low temperature environments, it proves that this aircraft has all-weather, all-terrain, and global transportation capabilities, which can also be said to be combat capabilities.

Richard knew that Bao Zixuan was bound to get the military license. These people will definitely not be able to stop them, and the big deal is that they will start a new business, then the British Empire will really offend people to death.

Although you are a soldier, you must be the scapegoat for problems like you do not understand politics and economics at a certain level. Richard can be said to know the way of being an official, and now he is already thinking about his own gains and losses if Bao Zixuan gets a military license.

Richard: "The climate from Xiangjiang to Argentina is very good, and there is no place where the temperature is particularly high or low. Therefore, the follow-up test can wait until the end of the war, and I believe it will not take long."

This sentence fully demonstrated his self-confidence. If, as a general, he felt that the British Empire could not take care of Argentina, then there was no need to fight the battle, and it would be fine to just admit defeat.

It can be said that the whole of the United Kingdom is now ready to teach the Argentine a lesson, and as a senior general of the army, he will not admit it.

Bao Zixuan: "It seems that General Richard is very confident, and he deserves to be the elite of the army. However, even a brave soldier must have a weapon in hand to defeat the enemy, and the speed of the soldier cannot tolerate any delay."

Of course Richard knew what Bao Zixuan meant, but he didn't dare to give the other party anything lightly. If he can't make it at that time, then he will have to bear a lot of pressure.

The main thing is that Bao Zixuan is not easy to mess with, the cost of fooling him is too high. So high that Richard dared not have such an idea, let alone execute it.

Governor Youde: "Baosheng, we will apply for the military license in China, please rest assured. I will try my best to fight for you in any case, but after the domestic approval, when will the Xiangjiang monster be able to carry out strategic transportation? Task."

Bao Zixuan: "A week or so, although I dare to produce the Xiangjiang monster in advance, but it is only used as a common means of transportation. Even if no one places an order, I can digest it myself, and it will not appear at all. Losing money. But if you want to perform strategic transport missions, you must have weapon systems, and aircraft must have self-protection capabilities.

"If it is really installed, it can only be sold to the military of various countries. If no one pays for the product, it will be smashed in the hands. Even if I don't dare to use it myself, and now Heiyun has no military qualifications, it hastily produced weapons and equipment. Courting death makes no difference."

After listening to Bao Zixuan's words, neither of them knew what to say. It is said that the richest man in Hong Kong is going to the military license. It seems that it is difficult to pass without doing things for him. It is estimated that the Heiyun Group will make uncooperative behaviors. After all, at this time, the Xiangjiang Monster does not have any people from the Heiyun Group. It would be difficult to drive away, let alone perform strategic transportation tasks.

Bao Zixuan also thought about finding a small country in the Middle East or Africa to register a company. Obtaining a military license from a small country is easy for Heiyun at this time, but there is still no reasonable procedure to develop weapons and equipment in Xiangjiang. At that time, talents and resources It will be hard to keep up.

Hong Kong and the mainland are separated by a strip of water, and China will not sit idly by if there is any problem. In other places, it will be helpless. After all, the national strength does not allow help.

Therefore, when Bao Zixuan's strength is not enough to make everyone jealous, he can only develop in Xiangjiang with peace of mind. After all, the Chinese government is watching, and the British dare not do too much. As for the United States and the Soviet Union, neither of the United States and the Soviet Union will come here to develop their power. The competition of two permanent members has made the situation in the small place of Hong Kong very complicated. If they come to join in the fun, they will suffer heavy losses. After all, their strength in Xiangjiang is not as deep-rooted as the United Kingdom and China.
