I, Citi Police Chief, pay money

The reason is that Director James finally sent someone to inform Chris in early September that his rank of superintendent has been confirmed, and there will be a promotion ceremony in October, so Chris can make preparations in advance.

In New York City, the identity of the police inspector of the police station is not small. Basically, with this identity, Chris has stepped into the threshold of the upper class in New York City. He is qualified to know and curry favor with those who control the wealth and political resources of the United States. Big shot...Of course, having this qualification doesn't mean that Chris will be looked up to by them. This so-called qualification just means that Chris can be their watchdog.

Don't feel shivering, this qualification to be a dog, many people want to be one, but still can't find the opportunity?

Chris doesn't want to be a dog. Although his mentality is a bit salty, he has been the lord of a country after all. The arrogance hidden in his heart and the strong kneecaps make him a little bit unable to kneel down... he can't even kneel for a while. .

"Fuck, I have to find a way to climb up." In his office, Chris said to himself.

"Or release more players to become big capitalists? But big capitalists, this is not easy to do..."

Chapter 85: Chapter 80 Nothing Happened in New York in October

Time passed slowly, and before we knew it, it was October, and the situation in New York City became more and more complicated. Needless to say, there were Wall Street thugs and attempted bombings before. Now this year happens to be an election year. Throne is vigorously canvassing activities everywhere, and the activity has reached its peak.

In this period of time, it is definitely not a good time to make troubles, whether it is gangsters or white people, whoever dares to make troubles now, politicians who are desperate for votes, will use all their means to suppress this A discordant thing.

When the big incident happened on Wall Street earlier, the National Guard failed to enter New York in time. It is for this reason that no politician is willing to mobilize a large-scale army into the city at this sensitive time. No matter what the reason is, this will become a competitor’s attack. arms.

During this special period, Chris also restrained the player's behavior. They were not allowed to do any bank or jewelry errands, and the Hydra hiding in Hell's Kitchen could not expand its territory. With the order of death, any gang that has just emerged at this time must be severely suppressed, without sparing any effort, without mercy, and eradicating the roots.

Want to ask why?Not only is the president to be elected, but the mayoral election of New York City is also in the near future. The result will be elected in January next year. Whether it is the success of the new mayor election or the success of the current mayor in defending the throne, it will affect the position of the chief of the New York Police Department. James, who has caused a certain impact and wants to continue to be the New York police chief, is naturally very concerned about this. Whether it is to use actual performance to claim credit for the new mayor in the future, or to prove his ability to the current old club, New York City Must remain superficially stable.

Since you can't do black work, let's do something serious.

Chris's food processing factory is already in normal operation, exclusively for Lao She's food truck alliance, and Lao She's business is also developing rapidly, because the sixteenth district police station has rapidly increased its manpower, its power has grown, and with the help of Hydra, in less than In half a year, he controlled most of the block. Basically, except for the pier area near the Hudson River, other blocks in Hell's Kitchen have patrols in and out no matter it is day or night, and the law and order is under control.

When the law and order stabilized, the food trucks spread rapidly. Now there are more than [-] food trucks operating in Hell's Kitchen, and they make a lot of money for the [-]th District Police Station and Lao She every day.

But also because of this, the expansion of the Food Truck Alliance in Hell's Kitchen has reached its limit, and it needs to develop outward.

The way Lao She adopted to expand the dining car alliance is to join...the police station.

It roughly means that it adopts the same cooperation model as Hell’s Kitchen 8th District. The food truck alliance provides money, vehicles, distribution and food, and each police station in New York City sends police family members and police force for protection. Then the police station can Receive a fixed ratio of 2:8 dividends from the food trucks in your own jurisdiction, food truck alliance 2, police station [-].

For both parties, this is a good thing.

In all major divisions of the New York Police Department, Douglas food trucks will soon be open day and night.

The success of the Lao She Dining Truck Alliance has made those new players who have just entered the game and have no livelihood very envious. Although it is a higher priority to get gold coins by doing poker organization tasks, this is not the case that there are still few poker tasks. It's not bad to do something else in the free time without tasks.

Someone chose to buy a batch of Sten submachine guns from the basement of the [-]th District Police Station, and then left Hell’s Kitchen to sell them in other American cities... Since the dealer asked not to do anything recently, I will stay away from New York and go to Just buy stuff elsewhere.

In addition to selling arms, there are also players who buy bootleg alcohol from unfinished building strongholds and ship them out of New York to buy them. The alcohol prohibition agents of the Bureau of Investigation will only check the goods that enter New York City. Not interested, because from the point of view of common sense, it is common sense to ship bootleg alcohol to New York City, and what is it for?

Because of this loophole in thinking, it is very easy for these players who sell bootleg alcohol to smuggle, but it is not easy to make money.

Why is it not easy to make money?Sellers are hard to find. Because of the Prohibition, there is indeed a shortage of alcohol everywhere in the United States. As long as you leave New York City, find a gangster outside, find a place, and there will be people chasing you to buy alcohol, but buying alcohol is buying alcohol, honesty Trustworthy buyers are few and far between.

I don't know if players who sell bootleg alcohol lack deterrence, or if bootleg alcohol is too profitable, out of ten gangsters who sell alcohol, six out of ten, in the first transaction, they all wanted to cheat, and the remaining four, Three of them turned around and reported the player to the local Prohibition Bureau after the transaction was successful, and the last one would pay the money truthfully without causing any extra trouble.

Therefore, although the business of selling bootleg alcohol is still huge profits, it is not as stable as the players who sell weapons... The guys who dare to sell uniform weapons on a large scale in the United States are [-]% vicious gangsters who dare to blackmail them There are not many underworld organizations in the country, and most transactions can be carried out safely.

The bootleg wine trade is different. This thing is really profitable in the United States now. Compared with the stable trade, the local gangster organization wants to swallow the other party's bootleggery, so the daily life of players who sell alcohol is very exciting.

Regarding the tossing of these players, because it didn’t happen in New York, it didn’t affect him. Chris didn’t care too much about what these players did in other places, how many people died... These things have nothing to do with my lazy Does Fish's NYPD have anything to do with it?

Superintendent, yes, in early October, Chief James did not lie. In early October, the New York City Police Headquarters held a promotion ceremony. The process and results of the ceremony were similar to the playground assembly held by the school. The hall unfolded, and the policemen and police family members sat below. The policemen who needed to be promoted went up one by one to receive their own police badges after wearing new uniforms after James took the stage to speak.

After the promoted police officers received their police badges, they were inspected on the stage, and then went down. Finally, Director James came up again and talked nonsense, and the meeting was adjourned.

The whole process lasted for one morning, boring and nothing new, it is done like this now, and it will still be done like this in the future.

In short, Chris is now the police superintendent, the real chief of the sixteenth district police station, and no longer the acting chief. He now has the right to appoint new sheriffs and inspectors to the sixteenth district to share the work... that is At present, Chris has not found such a candidate. If there is no choice, in two months, he can only let Patrick be promoted to inspector.

Chapter 86: Chapter 81 Vision

"Crack..."

In the basement of the sixteenth district police station, Chris was inspecting the structure of a submachine gun. He pulled the bolt and looked at the brand-new and compact mechanical structure inside, but no matter how he looked, he couldn’t see anything wrong. There is nothing wrong with the rod gun on the surface.

"Good job, this gun... I don't see anything wrong with it..." Chris was full of praise for the Thompson submachine gun in his hand, which made the Chinese mechanical workers standing in front of Chris breathe a sigh of relief. Started cheering softly.

The Chinese workers hired by Chris are living a good life. They work eight hours a day. In addition to the monthly salary comparable to that of the police, they can also go to the police canteen to eat cheap fast food. I moved to the vicinity of the [-]th district, but those who didn't move here also lived in Chinatown in Hell's Kitchen.

Because these Chinese workers are now working for the police in the sixteenth district, they and their family members dare not say that they can walk sideways in Hell’s Kitchen, but in their daily life, there will be no gang members to interfere with them, which makes the Chinese workers very happy I cherish my job so much that I consciously work overtime every day, forcing the police on duty to receive orders to close the basement door regularly and turn off the power.

The Chinese laborers work so hard, which makes the production of weapons in the basement handicraft workshop more than what Chris expected, the Sten submachine gun, so the weapons that can be knocked out by plumbers needless to say, the complex structure of the Thomson submachine gun And the Springfield rifle was soon produced by these enthusiastic Chinese workers.

The Thomson submachine gun that Chris asked the Chinese workers to produce is the most mature M1A1 type. The production cost is more than half lower than that of the early Thomson submachine gun, and the structure is also simplified a lot. It has been reduced, with a twenty-round or thirty-round magazine.

As for the rate of fire of the Thompson submachine gun produced by Chris is not as good as that of the early typewriters, there is no way. If its rate of fire is too high, the effective range of the submachine gun cannot be 200 meters, and it can only be 50 meters. Accuracy is only within the range. If you want to improve the accuracy and effective range, you can only reduce the rate of fire.

Considering that some players like the high-firing Thompson submachine gun, Chris also asked the Chinese workers to produce a high-firing version of the Thompson, and it was equipped with a [-]-round ammunition drum... Chris guessed that the Hydra and other gangsters Players are expected to like the drum-style Thomson very much.

As for the Springfield Rifle, which is the M1903 Springfield Rifle, this is the standard weapon equipped by the U.S. Army in the original space-time, so there is no need to introduce it. This classic bolt-action rifle has a simple structure, durable leather, good power and accuracy. , the effective range is 600 meters, that is, the rate of fire is lower than that of contemporary rifles.

However, this is just an innocuous little flaw. If you want to shoot fast, you can directly use submachine guns and automatic rifles. After the Springfield rifle is equipped with a scope, it is a good sniper rifle. Chris put it on the exchange list. Defrauding players of their points and dollars.

As far as the current situation is concerned, there are three kinds of weapons produced in the basement hand workshop of the sixteenth district police, the Sten submachine gun, the Thomson submachine gun, and the Springfield rifle. When the production limit is reached, if you want to expand production, the weapon workshop has to move, hire more workers and purchase more machines.

"Go ahead." Chris waved his hand to disperse the workers in front of him, looked at the three firearms on the table, and fell into deep thought... How to sell these weapons?

Expansion of production is definitely necessary. Chris has already selected the bankrupt weapons company to be acquired, and the money is enough, but where will the customers come from?

Sten submachine guns are currently selling well. This cheap automatic weapon is very popular at present. Players can take as much as they produce every day. The same is true for Thompson submachine guns. Only when news of the successful production spreads, there will be Hydra players. I found the administrator of the security base and paid a deposit.

Regarding Thomson's sales, Chris said that he is not in a hurry. He is still thinking about whether to produce a slow version or a rapid-fire version of Thomson. It took five hundred dollars for Chris to make a little money.

Why is the price so expensive? Chris can only say that handwork is not as good as assembly line.

As for the last Springfield rifle...

Chris stared at it for a long time, thinking a lot, then took out a big bag, put the three weapons in it, left the [-]th District Police Station swaggeringly, and drove towards the Springfield Cafe.

"Dang..."

"Welcome, Mr. Chris." As soon as Chris entered, Miss Chuntian... a girl who can also be called Springfield greeted her with a smile, and took the initiative to lure Chris, a big customer, to hide place to sit.

Due to various reasons, Chris’s consumption at Springfield Coffee Shop has been very large and stable recently, so that Springfield has recently closed its retail business and only deals with the business of Chris, a big customer.

In fact, Chuntian also knew that the source of the Hydra gang's weapons had something to do with Chris, but she didn't care about this issue. You asked Chuntian to sell large quantities of obsolete weapons to the gangsters in Hell's Kitchen, but she would not dare, and the other way around There is no problem selling it to Chris, the police superintendent. The military sells second-hand obsolete weapons and expired ammunition to the police. This is an American tradition.

What, why do you think the chief of the bureau wanted so many weapons, and where did they go?Does this have anything to do with my American Army?

You want to investigate?

Hey man, I urge you not to cut off our US Army's steady income, or else...

"Miss Springfield, I have a business I want to talk to you about." Chris waved his hand and put down the bag containing the firearms. During this process, the sound of steel colliding inside the bag instantly made Springfield's eyes sharpen.

"What business?" Chuntian said coldly.

"Partnership to start a weapons company." Chris said seriously, which stunned Chuntian for a moment... This is different from what she expected.

"Open... open a weapons company?"

"Yes, partnering to start a weapons company." Chris said again.

"Look at the weapon in the bag. This is the initial product of the weapon company I plan to start."

Hearing this, Chuntian opened the bag, took out the three weapons inside, and began to inspect and evaluate seriously. Although it was a bit strange and sudden, but because of Chris's serious attitude, Chuntian also became serious.

Chapter 87: Chapter 82 Huh?

"Da da da..." The gunshot of the Thomson submachine gun is very distinctive, the gunshot like a typewriter, and the extremely high rapid fire, let you see it for the first time, use it, or experience it for yourself A powerful person has a deep memory.

In an open field outside the suburbs of New York City, Miss Springfield was shooting an oak barrel with a Thompson submachine gun.

"Good gun." With a large caliber of [-] millimeters, a very high rate of fire, and a high amount of ammunition, from the perspective of Springfield's professional soldiers, such a submachine gun is very suitable for trench warfare. As long as there are soldiers in a squad with two If you use a Thompson submachine gun and shoot alternately, the enemy's bayonet charge will basically be unable to charge before the submachine gun's bullets are fired.

However, while repeatedly praising the Thompson submachine gun, Chuntian also realized the flaws of the Thompson submachine gun. Compared with the submachine guns of the same era, the Thompson gun body is too large, and the weight of the gun has nothing to do with lightness. Observing, Chuntian also found that the internal structure of the Thompson submachine gun was very complicated, with significantly more parts than other firearms.

The complex structure and many parts mean that the production of this submachine gun is not easy, and the maintenance of the firearm is not simple.

"How much does it cost to produce?" Springfield asked a crucial question.

"Now it's still handmade by workers. If you don't count drums, its manufacturing cost is about two hundred dollars."

"Two hundred U.S. dollars?" Chuntian's voice was slightly raised. She was surprised by the price. The manufacturing price and the ex-factory price are quite a concept. The price is increasing a little, so if they are superimposed on each other, the Thomson produced by Chris will inevitably be more expensive than the historical Thomson.

"That's a little too high."

Indeed, regarding this issue, Chris also has to admit that there is a problem with the current cost of the Thompson submachine gun, and this problem is not caused by the drawings and production process, but purely by the failure rate of the workers.

"After opening the factory, the price will drop after the assembly line is turned around." Chris shrugged and argued.

"Besides, I've already found the main customers for this submachine gun. They won't mind the high price of the Thompson submachine gun."

"Who will buy it?" Chuntian was a little curious. According to her understanding, first of all, the U.S. Army would definitely not purchase such an expensive submachine gun with a complicated structure. During the European War, when Congress allocated a large amount of funds, the U.S. Army might be willing , but now is a time of peace, and the poor generals can't wait to tear a dollar knife into four pieces to spend, so how could they buy a Thompson submachine gun.

"American gangsters," Chris said.

"Thomson submachine guns are powerful and have a high rate of fire, which is very suitable for their gun environment. The guns are too heavy, the structure is complicated, so it is not suitable for maintenance, and the price is expensive. For them, it is not a big problem. Now they rely on selling bootleg alcohol. Those who make a fortune don’t care about the little money for buying guns.”

While talking, Chris also showed a smile.

"The gangsters are equipped with Thompson submachine guns, so the police department will naturally keep pace with the times. In this way, the Thompson submachine guns will not lose money..."

Chuntian looked at Chris who was chattering, with a subtle emotion in his eyes.

"Well, there are two remaining guns... By the way, isn't the shape of this Sten submachine gun a little ugly?" Chuntian lifted the Sten submachine gun with a little disgust, looked it up and down, and made sure once again that he couldn't appreciate it. The shape of a submachine gun.

"Was it designed by a plumber?"

The Sten submachine gun is not good-looking. Even though this submachine gun is an improved version at the end of World War II, the problem of easy jamming and misfire of the gun has been improved in the revision, and it is no longer easy to appear. However, this still cannot save it. pleasing question.

"This problem, it has a good enough to cover all the flaws." Chris said.

"It's cheap."

"How cheap can it be?" Chuntian asked curiously.

"The manufacturing cost is eight dollars, and this is still the cost of hand-made. After going to the assembly line, the price will be further reduced. It is very easy to reach five dollars."

"Eight dollars, five dollars." Chuntian opened his small mouth slightly, looking at the unattractive submachine gun in his hand in surprise. The price was beyond her expectations. There are two extremes... outrageously cheap and outrageously expensive.

You know, the easiest cheap pistol to find on the market right now is the .[-] revolver, priced at four dollars, and the expensive pistol, between fifteen and thirty dollars, your Sten submachine gun Even if it is sold at twice the current cost price, it is much cheaper than a pistol.

In the current American firearms market, there is still no submachine gun that is cheaper than the Sten submachine gun. With its price, it must have a place in the firearms market.

"What's the name of the last rifle..." Springfield asked Chris as he picked up the last bolt-action rifle.

"Why does it feel a little familiar to me."

"Ah, it has a blood relationship with the German Mauser rifle, so...you know." Chris said a little embarrassedly, the Springfield rifle was a pirated Mauser rifle, and this was after he had the Springfield rifle made. I found out about the shape and structure, I have to ask the difference between the two... Chris can only say that the difference is not big. Before the Springfield rifle was improved in terms of the barrel and the charging handle, the other structures did not move the knife.

Chris's honest expression left Chuntian speechless.

"What about production?"

"Just send someone to Germany to get the patent fee." Chris said.

"I'm pretty bullish on the future of this rifle."

For Chris's point of view, Springfield very much agrees. As a family member of an insider in the military, Springfield knows that the current US Army is not very satisfied with the improved Krag rifles it is currently equipped with. Performance problems have been reported to the higher authorities many times. During the war, various gun companies in the United States urgently designed guns that meet the requirements of the Army.

As a result, due to various reasons, these new rifles failed to catch up with the battlefield. Until the end of the European War, only a small number of experimental firearms flowed into the hands of the army. Then, because of the end of the war, Congress waved its hand and directly blocked the military expenditure. With one blow, the army almost didn't even get the pension for the retired soldiers. Naturally, there was no need to talk about changing clothes.

Now that it is peacetime, after the major disarmament, the U.S. Army’s funding has been loosened, and they have the idea of ​​changing their outfits again. Chuntian reckons, relying on her family’s influence and the performance of this rifle, she is confident that this rifle will Become the active equipment of the US military.

"What's the name of this rifle?"

"M1903 Springfield rifle."

"what?"

Chapter 88: Chapter 83 Surprise

"What did you say, repeat it again?" When Chuntian heard what Chris said, his first reaction was that he had heard it wrong. Springfield is a literal translation in Chinese, and the free translation is "spring field"... There is no need to convert it. Isn't it Chuntian's own surname?

If it wasn't for Chris's serious expression, Miss Chuntian would have doubted whether the man in front of her was taking this opportunity to confess her love to herself.

"Although it is a bit of a coincidence, it is indeed called Springfield, which is the name given by its designer." Chris explained helplessly.

"Speaking of Miss Chuntian, I have always known that your surname is Chuntian, but what is your first name?"

"Jessica Springfield." Springfield said.

"Good name." Chris praised.
