"Cut off one head, and two more will grow."
Although Hydra is good, it is only possible to promote the establishment of this organization after the collapse of the Third Reich.
What is more important now is to prepare for the future. Although he is in New York, George always keeps in close contact with the task force far away in France through telegrams and directs the actions of the task force. When the first winter snow in New York slowly fell, he received a telegram from Marseille, France. The content of the telegram is concise and straightforward.
In a month, the task force searched, found and assembled more than 200,000 light weapons and a large number of heavy weapons in various parts of France, of which more than 20,000 tons of ammunition alone, which are enough to improve the equipment level of the domestic army by several levels. Moreover, among the Allied spoils, there are still a large number of arms captured from the German army waiting to be handed over.
All of this was within George's expectations. 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. The whole of France was liberated in just a dozen or twenty days.
In addition to the telegram from Marseille, there was also a telegram from China, which was sent by Zhu Yihai. The recruitment work was progressing very smoothly. Nearly 30,000 people had signed contracts with the company, 30% of whom were college students or junior college students. After receiving a month of basic military training, the first batch of personnel had flown into India via the Hump Route. They will undergo further military training in India and will sail to France next month.
Why do we need military training? Because they have to go deep into the war zone and always need a certain degree of self-protection ability.
"We must protect these people well. In the future, they will be the capital for us to control Borneo..."
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. As of now, there have been dozens of casualties.
Thinking of this, George said to himself.
Is there anything we can do?
On the battlefield, there are no eyes for swords and guns. First of all, we must ensure their safety in the rain of bullets. Thinking about this in his heart, George naturally thought of the most common thing in later generations-bulletproof vests.
In fact, steel bulletproof vests appeared as early as World War I, and in World War II, American bomber crews also generally wore bulletproof vests to resist shrapnel damage. As for Russia, it also developed a bulletproof breastplate that can resist submachine gun bullets and equipped it to the commandos.
However, limited by the metallurgical level of this era, these steel bulletproof vests are all cumbersome without exception.
"Steel..."
George directly ruled it out. Steel bulletproof vests are too cumbersome and have poor protective performance.
Thinking so in his heart, George leaned forward and pressed the switch of the intercom.
"Secretary Xu, please come here."
Xu Wenzhi is George's personal secretary. Before this, he had been studying law at New York University. Although he had a New York lawyer's license, he did not practice for various reasons. Now, as a company secretary, his work is undoubtedly extremely competent. At this moment, he walked into the door, which was installed on the wall inlaid with wood panels. When the door was closed, it looked like part of the wall.
"Secretary Xu, can you ask the purchasing department to inquire 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 George is a liberal arts student, he also knows that alumina ceramics is a widely used bulletproof material. As a bulletproof plug, it has good protective performance, light weight, and low cost, so 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 have also begun to be mass-produced, but its application range is not wide. It is only used to make spark plugs, and some power facilities need 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 1960s, it was not until the early 1970s that this high-strength material found its use - it was used to replace part of the steel in racing tires. A few years later, it was discovered that it could be used to make bulletproof vests.
