Chapter 416 Van Fleet against the Military-Industrial Complex
"Then I will try to choose better spare parts." Under the persuasion of the workshop supervisor Will, Nadel struggled fiercely in his heart for a long time, and finally had to face reality. Lower your head.
After all, according to Will's method, as long as there are no major problems with the machine, he will not have any problems.
But if you don’t follow Will’s method, let the entire workshop’s accumulated continuous production hours be cleared, and let the government supervision team who came to inspect see these rows of new HCPs full of production ‘defects’
Then he will lose his job immediately.
Thinking about his wife who had just given birth and was still a little weak and needed to be nursed back to health, and then thinking about his child who had just come into this world, Nadel thought about what would happen if he lost the job that the whole family relied on for survival. I dare not even think about it.
Will, the workshop supervisor, finally felt relieved after seeing Nadel finally agree. If Nadel didn't agree to do this, he really didn't know what to do for a while.
Because Nadel is the production quality supervisor, the products produced by the assembly line he is responsible for must be inspected by him and approved on the work terminal before they can enter the next step of the factory process.
In other words, as long as Nadel does not let go, these HCPs that have just come off the assembly line will not be able to be shipped away.
So Will now feels that although Nadel is a bit arrogant, he is still sensible after all.
He rummaged in the drawer of his desk, then took out a green chip and handed it to Nader. The latter looked down and saw that it was a stored-value card from a large supermarket chain in the Federation. The chip was also printed with There was a faint line of words on it - '500 Credit Points'.
“Don’t make any noise, go buy some supplements and baby food, and stock up on other things for home.”
“Director, I can’t take this.” Nadel was a little confused while holding the chip. In his more than 20 years of working life, he has never received such a thing from a colleague - it was even given to him by his superiors.
Furthermore, the employee code of Boqi Heavy Industry also clearly prohibits these "little tricks" among employees. If found, they will be severely punished.
"Take it, take it, think of it as a personal gift from me!" Will pushed Nadel's hand, asked him to put the chip into his pocket, and then pushed him Walk towards the office door.
"Remember, find a few people who are strict-mouthed and reliable, and don't make this matter public."
"Yes, I understand."
——
A week later, the government supervision team led by Lieutenant General Van Fleet arrived as scheduled.
When Will and Nadel saw Lieutenant General Van Fleet arriving outside the workshop gate, surrounded by the chairman of Poch Heavy Industries and a large number of senior executives, they finally realized that this was The general might actually have something.
Because of previous government supervision team inspections, Boqi Heavy Industries could only send a few senior executives to accompany them. Today, this is the first time that high-level officials have been dispatched collectively.
Will and Nadel's guess was not wrong. Van Fleet really had something "something" that made the executives of Boqi Heavy Industries feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.
The lieutenant general did not know where to find a group of experts, and roped them into his own supervision team to serve as consultants. Then when supervising the first military industry company, he gave them to all other official companies. Show off your power.
This company that was unlucky enough to win the jackpot was inspected by Van Vliet’s team almost every step of the way. 85 out of a total of 90 inspection items failed to pass the inspection, which directly led to the federal suspension. All business with this company.
After the first shot was fired, the companies responsible for the production of various federal army equipment panicked.
They originally thought that this general who suffered a huge defeat on the front line was just assigned to a logistics post to "retire", but no one thought that this guy was serious. And although Van Fleet has various problems, as a general who has been on the front line for a long time and especially likes to communicate with front-line soldiers, he still has a very good understanding of the federal army's real equipment needs.
So some military industrial companies later wanted to fool him, but in the end they were caught and used as a public example.
In this case, when the executives of Boqi Heavy Industry learned that Van Fleet was going to bring the supervision team over, they naturally felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.
After seeing this, Will was also proud of his decision. If those problematic products were still in the warehouse, he might be skinned after today.
Lieutenant General Van Fleet walked into the workshop accompanied by everyone. Although he had a calm expression on his face, in fact, he had not been in a good mood recently.
Being assigned to a logistics supervision position is one thing, and being bombarded by various federal military-industrial enterprises is another aspect. If it were not for the supervision work this time, Van Fleet would never have thought of these private military-industrial enterprises. It's actually gotten to this point.
The Boqi Heavy Industry workshop, which is currently undergoing supervision and inspection work, although there seems to be no problem at present, Van Fleet felt a sense of depression the moment he walked into the workshop.
This sense of depression made him feel very uncomfortable, and also made him curious about the conditions under which the workers here were working, and would something go wrong?
This feeling did not completely convince him until Van Fleet saw Nadel, the leader of the production quality supervision team, when he was listening to the introduction of the workshop personnel and noticed something was wrong with him. There's something wrong.
"What does this guy want to say to me?"
Van Fleet thought so in his heart, but he did not express it on the spot because he knew that some things could not be said on the table. , so he decided not to alert the snake first, and then let his confidants try to contact him after this supervision was over.
——
When Van Fleet was conducting supervision and inspection at Boqi Heavy Industry, the batch of 'Dao Mantis' HCP previously produced in the final assembly workshop where Will and Nadel were located were also packaged. Arriving on the transport ship, they were transported to the front line.
Part of these HCPs will be used as supplementary vehicles for deployed troops, and the other part will be used as vehicles for newly formed troops, and these troops are established to cope with the upcoming large-scale battles.
Since the Federation suffered a defeat in the Pyla system, under the advice of Miller and Trafalgar, the Federation has been actively mobilizing various resources and forces in preparation for launching a large-scale joint operation on the front line.
The two military ‘leaders’ have set three different goals for this large-scale operation.
The best goal is to achieve an unprecedented victory and lay the foundation for victory in the entire war.
The next goal is to hold the current front and turn the currently occupied empire territory into a federal territory.
The final goal is to kill a large number of the effective forces of the Star Dragon Empire, so that even if they win, it will be a 'miserable victory', so that they cannot continue to launch a counterattack against the Federation, so that this war can enter 'negotiations' table' stage.
This is why during this period, the major federal military-industrial enterprises are frantically producing all kinds of equipment, because the military's orders can be said to be 'time-critical and heavy-duty', requiring them to produce all kinds of equipment in a very limited time. , produce enough equipment, ammunition, and parts to send to the front line.
This also means that the situation like Will and Nadel is not just a special case that happened in this workshop, nor is it just a special case that happened in Boqi Heavy Industry, but a microcosm.
The federal military-industrial complex, which has been slacking off for a long time, has exposed its rotten and dilapidated fat body from the shadow of singing and dancing
