With detailed data and speeches compiled by Edelman, the two American auto industry leaders came to the Pentagon. The Ministry of Defense of MacDonald may not have paid so much attention, but the arrival of Henry Ford II should still be given enough respect.

General Ian Wright, Assistant Secretary of Defense and Director of the Munitions Procurement Division, personally greeted him outside. It can be said that the specifications are sufficient.

After a few chats, Lieutenant General Ian Wright took them to the office of Defense Secretary Kasper Weinberger.

Kasper Weinberg, known as the Warrior of the Cold War, is very different from other defense ministers. This old boy can be described as a versatile man.

Kasper Weinberg was born during the United States' entry into World War I, and throughout his later childhood memories accompanied by Herbert Hoover's presidential campaign and the Great Depression, Weinberg is undoubtedly one of the greatest in American history. generation.

During World War II, Weinberg served for General MacArthur and fought in the Pacific theater. He moved into California and eventually became a senior staff member of Governor Ronald Reagan. He was known as a "razor" for slashing government budgets in his early years as administrator of the Office of Management and Budget, and a "long dipper" for presiding over the largest peacetime military expansion in the United Statesmeaning indiscriminate Scattering money around indiscriminately?

He advocated that the U.S. military should continue to expand its military strength, but was equally resolute against the abuse of force. He opposed the sale of arms to Iran, but was finally humiliated by the "Iranian" scandal of the Reagan administration. After retiring from politics, Weinberg joined Forbes magazine, serving as its publisher and chairman.

This is a miracle in the military history of the world, and it can be seen that it is definitely a legend.

One of the reasons why old Edelman dared to take this order is precisely because this Secretary of Defense is definitely a master who dares to spend money. At this time in the most tense state of the Cold War, he could not help but save money.

Seeing Henry Ford II coming in, Caspar Weinberg didn't dare to care, he quickly stood up and said, "The two heads of Ford and GM, everyone, welcome."

Although he is the Secretary of Defense, he belongs to the most powerful group of people in the United States. But in front of Henry Ford II, it is still necessary to keep a low profile.

Born as a lawyer, she understands the power of these top families better than ordinary people. After becoming Secretary of Defense, she knows more about who the American political arena serves.

The Ford family has been developing in the United States for nearly a hundred years, although there are still some differences compared with the Rockefeller and Morgan families. But compared with ordinary people, it has absolute authority. Don't say he's the secretary of defense, even the president has to give it three points.

When you are in office, people may give you face. But what to do once the term ends, they are no different from ordinary people. But the Ford family is still the Ford family, even after a few hundred years. As long as there is no prodigal son in the family, it may still exist.

After a few people sat down, Mac Donald turned his gaze to Henry Ford II. The meaning is obvious, you must speak first, otherwise we will not say much.

Seeing the attitude of the crowd, Henry Ford II was very happy. After all, this is a kind of respect for him and a recognition of the Ford family.

Henry Ford II: "Your Excellency Secretary of Defense is very kind, and it is also our honor to be invited to the Pentagon this time. It is the duty of every citizen to make a due contribution to the United States. Ford Motor and the entire Ford The family will definitely be obliged.

That's what top PR firms do, obviously they're going to do business with the Department of Defense. But it can be said that the military must need the cooperation and assistance of the two companies, which can be said to be very shameless.

However, it also shows the ability of others from the side, which I have to admit.

As a lawyer, Caspar Weinberg of course knows what Ford II means, and he is familiar with this kind of word game. Not angry, because everyone's interests are the same. As long as you keep that in mind, everything will be fine.

Kasper-Weinberg: "Now the Soviet Union has put a lot of military pressure on the United States, and the national strategic transport force has been lagging behind."

"The Soviet Army is already stronger than ours, and that's a dangerous thing. The United States has to change so that the Soviets can't gain even the slightest advantage."

"This time, the two are invited to discuss how the United States should respond. At this time, most of the military vehicles of the US military were produced during the Vietnam War, and their performance has been completely backward."

"In addition, most of the vehicles purchased by Jeep were previously purchased, and now it seems that the safety cannot be guaranteed. After all, once the Jeep brand leaks the performance of military vehicles, we will be very passive on the battlefield in the future. Although the Black Cloud Group is not so bold, But don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the eventuality. To nip in the cradle any signs that are unfavorable to the U.S. military, we must take precautions before it happens.

What Kasper Weinberg is saying is so high-sounding that no one can fault it. If he didn't know what was going on, he would definitely be deceived by him.

Mac Donald knew he was going to talk, after all, the arms purchase was dominated by General Motors. Don't let Henry Ford II steal the show, that's not good for order allocation. Although there is an agreement, what if Henry Ford II does not want to fulfill it.

This is a business involving tens of billions of dollars, and no one can remain indifferent.

MacDonald: "It is a great honor for every citizen to serve America. Providing soldiers with the best performance vehicles has always been a constant pursuit of GM."

"General Motors has been preparing for 5 years in order to allow soldiers to drive the most advanced cars in the world. The military has also personally verified it before, and the Humvee military vehicle is definitely the existence with the best comprehensive performance in the world."

Hearing the start of advocating for their own cars, everyone at the scene knew that this was going to get to the point. After all, the previous foreshadowing is enough, and it seems a little fake when there is more.

In Henry Ford II's view, MacDonald did not want Ford to take advantage. Fear of overpowering him made Ford the leader in the military's purchase of vehicles.

As an automobile company that has been inherited for nearly a hundred years, how could it be possible to lose sight of the profit and tear up the contract. But this kid can think so, which proves that GM must have done similar things, or else why would he worry about others. It seems that when dealing with General Motors, you have to be extra careful. If you don't pay attention, you will be calculated by the other party.

Mac Donald did not expect that an unintentional act of his own would cause a misunderstanding by Ford II; it also paved the way for the breakdown of the follow-up cooperation.

Caspar-Weinberg said with a smile: "I have some absolute confidence in the technical strength and reliability of GM and Ford. Especially when the two companies are combined. Combined with the two top automakers in the United States. Military vehicles will surely amaze the world.

"At this time, everyone can imagine the scene of the best soldiers in the world; equipped with the best vehicles in the world, galloping on the plains of Eastern Europe."

Although this is just a good wish, it can also give people infinite associations.

Seeing that everyone had come to their senses, Caspar-Weinberg continued: "If you want to replace all military vehicles, you must use the active military vehicles for waste. The plan you submitted can be very high-performance, and Ian is responsible for this matter. - General Wright is solely responsible."

The two should prepare the performance description of the vehicle in advance~www.mtlnovel.com~ and the quotation for a single unit. Although it is the comprehensive strength of the powerful United States, I still hope that the two will not ask too much. The Ministry of Defense is not a wealthy unit.

After speaking, everyone at the scene laughed, which was tacit.

Hearing that he was in charge of contacting the Black Cloud Group and Bao Zixuan, Ian Wright didn't say anything. In his opinion, these people are really shameless. Heiyun Automobile not only failed to get the order from the Ministry of Defense, but also bought back the cars that were sold before. Although the Jeep brand already belongs to Bao Zixuan, he did not earn a penny from the cars sold to the U.S. military before.

It is old now and the performance is outdated. I just remembered how to speak. However, it is the duty of the soldiers to obey orders, and he must carry out the orders of the Minister of Defense.

More importantly, Ian Wright also sees huge benefits. Whether purchasing new military vehicles or disposing of old vehicles. These can be handled well. I heard that when the Soviets dealt with equipment, they made a lot of money from it.

The opportunity is in front of you now, so don't let it go. Although I have had several unsuccessful deals with Bao Zixuan before, that doesn't mean anything. This time it was dealing with items, and it would not be too difficult to sell with Bao Zixuan's connections. Just look at what this young man thinks, no one can guess at this time.
