Chapter 277 Security Cost
The 15-day field mission was over, and Iger led the team back to Jixi Town. After simply reporting the results of the battle to all field personnel involved in the field mission, the joint field mission team was disbanded.

The first free trade conference will be held in 4 days, and the joint field team will gather in Jixi Town two days in advance to participate in the security work of the trade conference.

The results of this joint field operation are not as exaggerated as the previous ones, but the effect is also very good.

Through the hard work of the field team for half a month, most of Puduo County has been converted from the yellow zone to the green zone, and there are no infected people wandering on both sides of all roads.But the bad news is that when Iger counted and wiped out the number of infected people, he found that the number of infected people was not right.

That night, the infected people gathered in Nancheng Square and surrounded the Joint Field Service. The number was estimated to be around 5000, but according to the results reported by the reclamation team fighting on the main battlefield this time, it was less than 3000.

Considering that the results of the reported battles are usually only a few more, and the estimated number of infected people that night was cut down, there is still a huge number that does not match, at least a difference of 1000.

"I have a few bad news to tell you." In the conference room on the second floor of the Morgan Building in Jixi Town, Iger is reporting on the joint field work to the directors at home at the board meeting. Iger has finished the part of the results that everyone is looking forward to in a few words , what he's telling now is all bad news.

This is the problem caused by the backward communication. In fact, many problems are not so "fresh", but because of the inability to achieve effective instant communication, these problems can only be reported to everyone after Iger returns to the camp.

"The first bad news is that the number of infected people we wiped out and the estimated number of infected people wandering in the wild are very different, so I suspect that there are still a large number of infected people who have moved off the road and migrated in the wild.

But once the infected move away from the road, we can't track them at all, so we have to warn all survivor teams, including the team in the green zone, to pay attention to their own security and defense work.

Andy, pay attention to John's farm. Once their farm is attacked by infected people, our losses will be extremely heavy. "

The heavy loss Iger mentioned was not the loss of crops, but the loss of the farmers of John's family.

The agricultural population of the United States accounts for less than 1% of the total population. If the same proportion survived, there would be only 100 agricultural population in 1 survivors.

Moreover, this agricultural personnel may not be able to grow food, and their population of food growers is even smaller.

Even in this kind of agricultural production area, agricultural production talents are extremely scarce, and the lessons of Ryan Cole can no longer be repeated.

Regarding this issue, Andy and Iger did not avoid other directors, so they discussed it directly at the meeting.

In the end, they negotiated to jointly send 20 security personnel to John's Farm, who will be responsible for protecting the safety of John's Farm before the wheat harvest, and John and the others will not need to pay any additional fees.

However, John's family needs to teach farming techniques to the dispatched personnel. By next year, those who have mastered the planting techniques will be able to expand production.

Iger put forward a second-phase goal. Next year, grain planting will reach at least 1000 acres, and he hopes to reach 3000 acres.

It is estimated that there are tens of thousands of acres of arable land around Rose Town alone. It is too wasteful for these lands to be left unused like this.

After talking about the infected, Iger is going to talk about people.

Iger told everyone what happened to the last lucky team.

On the second day after the joint field team set off, William, the leader of the last lucky team, came to Rapid Creek Town. After a long secret room discussion between him and Andy, William quietly took away the four members who were detained.

Andy also knew about the malicious targeting of the last lucky team, but he didn't disclose it to the second person.

But the same thing, after Iger said it again, he changed his voice and said seriously: "It can be known that there is at least one malicious force targeting us in Puduo County.

However, the strength of this force should be relatively weak, so their strategy is to try to provoke the conflict between the last lucky one and us, and even expect to see a war between the two sides.

When clams and cranes compete, they can reap the benefits (play both ends against the middle).

Fortunately they didn't succeed, but I don't think they'll give up on intrigue.

To be honest, I don't have much experience in this area, Erica, do you have any ideas? "

Erica thought for a while and said: "The most common situation in security work is that a defense with a score of 99 is defeated by an attack with a score of 1. To be honest, there is no other good way except to increase the number of security personnel."

After Erica finished speaking, the venue fell into silence.

This situation is very passive indeed.

There is a saying: There is only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to guard against a thief.

A team's energy is always limited. For this kind of passive all-round threat, even if all the resources are filled in, it is impossible to achieve long-term defense without dead ends.

Once there is negligence, or there is no negligence at all, but the defense loopholes are caught, not only will they pay a heavy price, but all the resources invested before will be wasted.

In the silence of the crowd, Iger thought of a very classic case, and he thought it might be possible to use this method.

Iger said slowly to everyone: "Do you know that there is a very famous Ford fuel tank case?"

Iger's words are a bit beyond everyone's knowledge reserve, everyone shook their heads in a daze, and only Andy knew what Iger meant.

In the 70s, Ford had a very popular model, but the fuel tank of this model was not designed properly, and it was easy to be smashed when it was hit by a rear end, resulting in fuel leakage and explosion.

After the upper management of the Ford company knew about this, they found accountants to conduct a benefit analysis.

The accountant calculated that if all cars were to be recalled, it would cost $11 per car to strengthen the fuel tank. Ford has sold 1250 million of this model, and the reinforcement cost in the recall alone is $1.375 million.

However, if the company pretends not to know and just compensates the dead and injured caused by the fuel tank explosion, according to the probability calculation, the maximum expenditure of these 1250 million vehicles will only need 4950 million US dollars.

As a result, Ford decided to pretend not to know and maintain the status quo.

Iger's meaning is obvious. Since it is unknown whether the disaster occurred, which area it occurred in, the type of occurrence unknown, and the various casualties caused by it are unknown, why don't we just pretend we don't know and wait until it happens.

In this case, even if certain casualties are encountered in the future, the final cost may be less than the whole day's precautions.

After pondering for a while, Andy made a decision and said, "Just follow this."

When everyone was confused, Andy and Iger reached a consensus.

The next step is the security work of the Free Trade Conference. In order to facilitate the work, Iger left Erica in Rapid Creek Town.

Only a few days after Iger led the team on duty, Nicholas came over from Rapid Creek town in a hurry.Nicholas led the team around during the day, and when he returned to the camp at night, he had to ask Erica to open a small room. Watching Nicholas work day and night, Iger worried that even if he was as strong as him, he would suddenly fall down one day.

But Iger also knew that Erica might not be able to keep it.

When Erica went to Rose Town, it was because she was angry with Andy that she went there. Now that she has a sweet love again, she may not go to Rose Town again.

It doesn't matter if Erica is gone, now that Erica's skills are almost mastered by Peter, he can lead the team for training.For physical training and shooting training, which Peter is not very good at, they can be handed over to Allen and Bill.

With blessings for the couple in his heart, Iger said goodbye to Erica, and he returned to Rose Town with a large army.

Speaking of harvest, Iger also has a little bit of field work this time.

Because there was nothing to do at the Nancheng Building during the day, Iger set up a shooting range on the roof of the Nancheng Building. Anyway, there were too many bullets downstairs, so Iger practiced shooting with one-handed pistols upstairs every day.Joanna also had nothing to do, so she practiced guns with him all day long, mainly helping him reload the bullets.

As a result, one day, Iger suddenly realized that he could use the recoil of the pistol to point and aim.

To put it simply, it is to abandon the normal gun-holding action and adopt a horizontal grip that gangsters like.

The action of holding a pistol horizontally is a classic wrong gun action, but gangsters like it very much, and even this gesture often appears in rap or hip-hop.

Iger discovered through practice that this action actually has its merits. For example, it can convert the upward jump of the muzzle of the pistol into lateral movement, and use the jump of the muzzle to perform a horizontal sweep. intervals can be greatly reduced.

Of course, there are two problems with the sideways grip of the pistol. One is that it cannot be aimed through the crosshairs, but this problem has little effect on Iger.Another problem is that shooting like this is very tiring.

Because the gun is held vertically, the force of jumping up the muzzle and the gravity are in a straight line, and the arm only needs to maintain the force in one direction.

But the force of jumping up from the muzzle of the pistol held horizontally is perpendicular to the direction of gravity. In order to resist this oblique force, the human body's posture will become particularly weird, not only raising the hand, but also raising the shoulders and sideways.After several magazines were fired, there was no pain in the hands, shoulders, and waist.

However, after realizing that the recoil is not useless, Iger's shooting skills were raised to level 10.

Originally, Iger thought that level 10 shooting would be different, but it turned out that it seemed to be no different from level 9.

What Iger doesn't know is that level 10 actually represents that a person's ability has entered the professional field, and anyone with a skill of 10 can be called an expert.

This classification has no practical significance until now, but it means that even if Iger does not have the talent of a marksman, his shooting ability is far beyond ordinary people.

Being able to improve a skill from 1 to 10 in more than half a year is a talent in itself.

After Iger returned to Rose Town, before he had time to rest, he first found Sandra and listened to her internal affairs report.

"What? A new biochemical laboratory has been built in Rose Town?"

As soon as Iger heard Sandora's report, he immediately jumped up from the sofa.
