Chapter 133 A big deal with dozens of small targets (Third update, please subscribe)

"Cut off one head and two more will grow."

Hydra was great, but the push to establish this organization had to wait until after the collapse of the Third Reich.

What is more important now is to prepare for the future. Although he was in New York, Li Nian always maintained close contact with the task force in France through telegrams and directed the operations of the task force. As the first winter snow slowly fell in New York, he received a telegram from Marseille, France. The content of the telegram was concise and straightforward.

In one month, the task force searched, recovered and assembled more than [-] light weapons and a large number of heavy weapons across France, including more than [-] tons of ammunition alone. These weapons and ammunition were enough to equip the domestic army. Level up a few levels. Moreover, among the Allied trophies, there are still a large number of arms captured from the German army waiting to be handed over.

These were all expected by Li Yi'an. After all, the German army did abandon a large amount of arms in France. There was no way, the Allied offensive was too fierce and too fast, and the entire France was liberated in just ten or twenty days.

In addition to the telegram from Marseille, there are also telegrams sent from China. The telegram was sent by Zhu Yihai. The recruitment work is progressing very smoothly. Nearly 30 people have signed contracts with the company, [-]% of which are college students or junior college students. born. After receiving basic military training for a month, the first batch of personnel has entered India via the Hump Route. They will undergo further military training in India and will sail to France next month.

Why do they need military training? Because they have to go deep into the war zone and always need a certain ability to protect themselves.

"We must protect these people well. They will be the capital of their own control of Borneo in the future..."

Because the search team needs to go deep into the war zone to collect weapons, it is inevitable that there will be exchanges of fire with the German army. So far, there have been dozens of casualties.

Thinking of this, Li Yian said to himself.

Is there anything that can be done?
  On the battlefield, swords and guns are blind, and the first thing to do is to ensure their safety in the hail of bullets. With this thought in his mind, Li Yian naturally thought of the most common thing in later generations-body armor.

In fact, steel body armor appeared as early as World War I, and in World War II, U.S. bomber crew members generally wore body armor to withstand shrapnel damage. As for Russia, it has also developed a bulletproof breastplate that can withstand submachine gun bullets and equipped it to commandos.

However, limited by the metallurgical level of this era, these steel body armors are all bulky and heavy.

"Steel..."

Li Yian dismissed it directly. The steel body armor was too bulky and had poor protective performance.

With this thought in his mind, Li Yian leaned forward and pressed the switch of the intercom.

"Secretary Xu, please come here."

Xu Wenzhi is Li Yi'an's personal secretary. Before that, he had been studying law at New York University. Although he had a New York lawyer's license, he did not practice law due to various reasons. Now, as the company's secretary, his The work is undoubtedly extremely competent. Now he walked through the door, which was built into the wood paneled wall and looked like part of the wall when it was closed.

"Secretary Xu, ask the purchasing department to ask which factories produce alumina ceramics. Do we need to purchase a batch of high-purity alumina ceramics?"

Thanks to the developed information in another world, although Li Yi'an is a liberal arts student, he also knows that alumina ceramics is a widely used bulletproof material. As a bulletproof insert, it has good protective performance, is light in weight, and is low in cost. Therefore, it is highly sought after by the military of various countries.

At present, alumina ceramics have not only been invented a long time ago, but also have begun large-scale production. However, its application range is not wide. It is only used to make spark plugs, and some power facilities require it as an insulating material.

In fact, when many materials were first invented, their biggest problem was their narrow application range. Just like the famous Kevlar fiber, although it was invented as early as the 60s, it was not until the early 70s that this high-strength material found its use - used to replace part of the steel in racing tires. A few years ago, it was discovered that it could be used to make body armor.

As for Li Yi'an, who comes from a later generation, he knows exactly where to take advantage of the new materials.

Just like alumina ceramics, it is now used as an insulator in spark plugs and high-voltage power equipment, but has no use other than that. Even for factories that produce alumina ceramics, this product is not their flagship product.

However, in a mature industrial country, as long as you have money, you can basically buy all the industrial products you need.

One hundred kilograms of alumina ceramic sheets of different thicknesses were delivered in just a few days. With the alumina ceramic sheet, the rest couldn't be simpler. Use a one-millimeter-thick steel plate as the backing plate, paste the alumina ceramic sheet on the front, and a bulletproof insert plate is formed. In the next test, from five mm thick alumina ceramic sheets were tested.

A few days later, I was at the shooting range and saw that the bulletproof inserts were filled with holes filled with white debris.

Li Yian couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

"Boss, it can really stop bullets. Even 98k can't penetrate a 20mm thick insert plate!"

Compared with the excitement and joy of the experimenters, Li Yi'an, who had everything expected, seemed very calm.

The issue he is considering now is not just handing over the bulletproof vest to the task force, he is also considering another issue, which is whether to keep such a good thing for himself or share it.

The so-called sharing is doing business with the Pentagon.

The Pentagon would certainly not reject a bulletproof material with such excellent performance. If we can become the exclusive supplier, just an order of 2000 million US troops will be enough to make a lot of money.

Its profit may even be as high as a dozen small goals!
  Thinking of this, Li Yian suddenly became a little uneasy.

How could we miss such a big deal?

"Secretary Xu, we need to acquire several companies!"

A few days later, with only a few hundred thousand dollars, the only three factories producing alumina ceramics in the United States were acquired by Li Yian.

After achieving a monopoly on raw materials, in order to install bulletproof inserts, Li Yi'an specifically learned from later tactical vests and designed a tactical vest that integrated ammunition carrying equipment. Two bulletproof inserts can be inserted into the chest and back.

Although the production and supply of wartime clothing was very tight, through the coordination of the military, the first batch of 25000 sets of tactical vests was quickly produced.

And what's most important?
  The only way to get Pentagon bureaucrats to approve large-scale purchase orders in the shortest possible time is to use the urgent needs of the front line to force the rear.

But it is not easy to send non-military supplies to the front line. It can even be said that no one will pay attention to you at all.

Ever since, Li Nian went to the Pentagon again. With the help of Thomas Holcomb, the former commander-in-chief of the Marine Corps, he had to provide 1000 sets to the Marine Corps for testing. As for when they can be sent to the Pacific front Conduct experiments, I'm afraid only God will know.

Everything in the world is nothing but human kindness. Without the previous human kindness, it would be impossible to knock on the door of the Pentagon.

In order to pass the battlefield experiment as soon as possible, and of course to protect his own people, Li Yian once again became a human carrier. He was personally flown to the front line in France,

According to the plan, in addition to the 20000 pieces of equipment that the task force will equip itself and another 2000 pieces as spare, the remaining 2000 pieces will be provided on the French front to those troops with whom the task force has good cooperation. The quantity is not large, but it is also for sale. The favor is nothing more than telling them - as long as you give the seized weapons to the task force in an emergency and cooperate more with the task force, we can provide bulletproof combat vests. And after those people survive the hail of bullets, the calls from the front line can overwhelm the Pentagon. By then, it will be a big order worth billions of dollars.

But as soon as he got off the plane and arrived at the task force's headquarters in Metz, Li Yian was caught off guard by the sudden news and said in shock.

"What? How did our people go to Bastogne? And there are three brigades!"

　The third update, please order first! Please give me your support, boss!
