Large-caliber mortars.
In fact, George had already considered large-caliber mortars long before General Jiang and his men made the request. After all, with the technical level of Carl Metal, producing mortars is the most realistic choice.
However, the Allies, at least the British and American Allies, did not have a demand for large-caliber mortars. Although the US military's 107mm chemical mortars have excellent performance, they are too heavy and have limited production, so they cannot meet domestic demand.
What kind of mortars are needed on the domestic battlefield?
120mm mortars!
In order to reduce the difficulty of research and development, Carl Metal used its identity as a military contractor to obtain the mortars captured by the US military in Italy from the military. This mortar is the German version of the Soviet PM38 mortar, with a total weight of only 285kg, a barrel length of 1865mm, and a firing weight of 15.8kg WGR.42 shells with a maximum range of 6050m. The mortar is a very successful imitation, which is very popular among the German frontline officers and soldiers, and the cost is quite cheap, only 1,200 Reichsmarks per gun.
After General Jiang and his team put forward the request to purchase artillery, George naturally strongly recommended this artillery. The cost of each mortar is only 500 US dollars, which immediately conquered General Jiang and his team.
It has to be said that cheap is the king.
It took only two days. After testing the mortar and knowing that it could shoot up to 6,000 meters, General Jiang immediately placed an order for 1,000 mortars and 300,000 rounds of artillery shells. The funds used were only the remaining funds for the purchase of light machine guns approved by the United States.
In many cases, cheap is the king. A good plaster is a good plaster that can remove poison, and a weapon that can fight the devil's weapon is definitely a good weapon.
Some things may not be able to kill people directly, but the role they play is even far greater than ordinary weapons.
"My God, I dare say, this is definitely God's magic..."
At KTJ Chemical Industry Company, George was standing there holding a letter and reading the contents of the letter to people.
"Once the whole island was covered with green jungle, those damned Japs hid in the rain forest a dozen yards away from you, on the treetops, ready to snipe us at any time. Every one of us brothers believed that compared to the Japs, the rain forest was the most hateful enemy... But now, the geniuses of KTJ sent "Agent Orange". God bless, when the plane spraying it flew over the sky, we could even see the leaves falling with our naked eyes, just like the forest in autumn, all the leaves disappeared, even the branches withered, accompanied by a heavy rain, the once dense tropical rain forest, turned into a pile of dead wood, and those Japs appeared in front of us without any cover... God bless, KTJ geniuses, you created God's magic, this magic saved countless Marines." After reading the letter, George said to the people around him with a proud tone. "Gentlemen, this is just a letter. In the past few days, we have received hundreds of letters from Marines in the Pacific. The content is similar. They are grateful for our products... Now..."
The staff turned their eyes to Galston and said.
"Gentlemen, please let us applaud Mr. Galston. His invention has saved thousands of Marines."
Instantly, applause rang out. In the applause and cheers of the crowd, Galston was also enjoying this moment.
Looking at Galston, who looked proud and proud, George also had a smile on his face.
"Agent Orange" really lived up to his expectations!
"If you want to kill tens of millions of people, you still have to rely on "Agent Orange" in the end!"
In many cases, hunger is definitely more effective than bullets. What would a person who is in a state of total famine look like?
George had never thought about it, just like he had never thought about what kind of consequences would be caused by tens of millions of liters, or even hundreds of millions of liters of "Agent Orange" being sprayed on Japan, what kind of sequelae, pollution, etc. In his opinion, it was almost a "double happiness".
"Now, the only problem is how to produce as much "Agent Orange" as possible, no, it should be to let the US military put as much "Agent Orange" as possible on the battlefield."
In another world, "Agent Orange" was a late weapon, so that the US military had no chance to put it on the battlefield, but now, with George's intervention, the large-scale production of "Agent Orange" was advanced by nearly two years.
Even because of the urgent demand in the Pacific, the first batch of "Agent Orange" was put on Guadalcanal to clear out the remaining Japanese troops as soon as it was produced. The results of the trial were very gratifying, and these thank-you letters were proof of that.
Now, the only question is how far the military is willing to use it!
"There will definitely be no problem with the military."
In the office, Paul Swell looked at his boss and said in an extremely confident tone.
"These thank-you letters we received are not just thank-you letters, but actually the prelude to the military's orders. The military will definitely increase the order. After all, its effect is very significant. In this case, how could the military not purchase it in large quantities?"
Looking at Paul, George shook his head and said.
"Indeed, the military will definitely add orders, which may be 5,000 tons, 10,000 tons, or even more."
"Boss, if it exceeds 10,000 tons, the military is likely to subcontract the order to other companies, and we may even need to transfer technology to them."
Paul said directly.
"This is not a good thing for us. After all, our scale is far less than those large companies including DuPont."
"It doesn't matter."
George took a cigarette from the cigarette box, lit it, exhaled a puff of smoke, and sneered.
"What is the ultimate goal of my founding this company? It is to save as many of our soldiers as possible and kill as many Japanese devils as possible. As long as this goal can be achieved, I can even open its patents to all companies. After all, in the war, our only interest is to win the war!"
Smoking a cigarette, George put himself in a very high position. In fact, God knows, all he wants is to kill more devils, and the rest is not important at all.
There are many opportunities to make money. Of course, if you can kill your life and make money at the same time, it would be perfect.
"So, what I need is to convince the military to purchase 100,000 tons, or even 200,000 tons!"
Paul opened his eyes wide and said in amazement.
"Boss, do you want to drown the whole of Japan in "Agent Orange"?"
