Blackstone Code

Chapter 1704: prohibition

Popular recommendation:

After returning from Sierra's side, Lynch didn't pay much attention to their affairs, he thought they were just making small troubles.

Maybe someone is really boring, maybe someone wants to use this opportunity to stir up the heat for their partner, maybe someone is like Sierra.

But anyway, he didn't think it would be a big deal.

It's just that he slightly underestimated the ideas of those women. For most people, opening a factory is a very serious thing.

But for these utterly bored women, it turned into a fun social event.

Soon more dame joined in and they turned it into a new trendy act.

These days, if the ladies don't open a factory, they don't seem to be ladies!

Lynch also visited the women and children that Nell had left behind during this time.

They were all healthy, and they were a little afraid of Lynch. Lynch didn't stay long and left.

They have already begun to adapt to life in the Commonwealth, and perhaps this is the process of going from a humble, backward and hard life to a life of luxury and abundance—it has almost no process!

The work is very tiring and hard, but lying in bed and sleeping until you wake up naturally can anyone fucking!

As long as you are not hungry!

Everyone is changing!

The Federation is here, it won't change for anyone, only people adapt to it!

The first piece of good news after the beginning of summer is that a separate group from the Flight Research Institute has made a breakthrough in the collaborative research project with Ankerk Industries.

Pongio's tank design is obviously not as reasonable as the Federation's design, their design looks like the type of open and close.

Although the turret is angled, this angle is relatively less likely to cause projectiles to jump off.

The tanks they are currently serving have nothing special about them except that the steel plates are thick enough.

This allowed the designers at the Flight Institute and Ankerk to be more targeted when they were researching.

They designed a very special armor-piercing projectile, which uses a very special pointed warhead structure, and the warhead uses a special alloy, which is also the main direction of research and development.

The reason is actually very simple. As long as the metal hardness of the warhead is higher than the hardness of the armor, it can tear the armor with enough kinetic energy.

In fact, it is not too difficult to study this thing. It is to continuously design the alloy formula of the tip of the warhead, and design a more aerodynamic shell coat.

In order for it to effectively achieve the purpose of armor piercing, it must maintain enough kinetic energy to make it more terrifying destructive power without changing the caliber of the current active tank. Wind resistance is the key.

Ankerk Industries contacted the Department of Defense immediately after laboratory and live-fire tests yielded results.

Now that the front line is tight, everyone is not too worried about air combat, mainly because of the confrontation between ground mechanized troops.

Pontgio's tank has too many advantages, although it can't climb big slopes, although it is too heavy and has hard requirements on the terrain.

But can't resist it hard enough!

There is no good way to deal with this kind of tank that can't be beaten by a few guns. They can only solve it by throwing incendiary bombs at close range.

The incendiary bomb of the Flight Research Institute has a fast response and high temperature. Although it cannot directly kill the people in the tank, it can turn the tank into a small oven.

This is the more effective method at present.

In addition, destroying the track, or being lucky, is also a way.

But people hope that there is a direct and simple way to solve this enemy.

Lynch also participated in the test, and Mr. Wardrick invited him to prevent anything from happening.

"You seem to have lost a lot of weight lately." After Lynch and Mr. Wardrick shook hands, the two stood aside.

Physically, Mr. Wardrick used to be just a little strong, but not fat or bloated.

Now he has completely lost weight, but... not very good-looking.

When a man reaches middle age, he is actually too thin and ugly, like a skeleton, and cannot give anyone any sense of threat.

Mr. Wardrick smiled and sighed, "No way, I haven't been able to sleep well, I haven't been able to eat well, and now I can only count on this, and I rarely go home."

That's an exaggeration, but it's true that he doesn't rest well.

Now Ancock Industries is really his industry, and there may be other people's shares in it, but in the final analysis, it is he who has the final say.

He put his heart and soul into it, and he wanted to make Ancock a family business, so that it could be passed down from generation to generation.

At the point where Mr. Wardrick is concerned, he is no longer thinking about how he will live in the future, but the lives of his children, his descendants, and those who are further afield.

It was precisely because he didn't want Cerverella to be besieged in the consortium that he fought so hard, otherwise he wouldn't have to do it at all.

In fact, Mr. Wardrick still regrets a little at this time. He regrets that he has only one daughter, and he should have two or three more children.

He didn't think Cerverella was not good enough, but hoped that these children could help each other.

Alone, it's really hard!

During this period of time, he was very experienced. He had to carry everything by himself. If someone could share some of it for him, he would at least not become so thin.

But it doesn't make any sense to say that.

With the arrival of the Ministry of Defense and the military, the test firing began.

This test firing is mainly divided into two parts. The first part is the test firing of armor-piercing projectiles based on cannons. The target is bombarded from three points: close, medium and long distances to test the armor-piercing ability of the projectiles.

The second part is the test firing of tanks. There is no variety of distances. Tanks are basically shot at close range.

Both Lynch and Mr. Wardrick wore earmuffs, and as the artillery began to roar, the effect of the armor-piercing projectile was very obvious.

As long as it doesn't jump off, it has great lethality to the current Penggio's tanks.

The test firing effect of the tank is also very good, and this kind of thing cannot be faked.

The Ministry of Defense and the military discussed it, and immediately gave Ankerk Industry a large order.

They placed 100 million orders in one go!

At the current price of 398 yuan and 99 cents per shell, this is more than 200,000 shells!

This also made Mr. Wardrick very excited. In fact, he intended to set the price a little more than three hundred yuan.

In fact, this price can already guarantee enough profit, but Lynch directly added dozens of dollars to him to make the profit even bigger.

For the current federation, money is not the problem at all, the problem is whether they have what they need.

The military, the Department of Defense, don't they know that Lynch's planes are **** ridiculously expensive?

Apparently, they knew that Pentio's planes cost less than a quarter of Lynch's, but so what?

Blackstone Airlines is in the lead in flight technology, which is not something you can buy with money!

If Penggio's Emperor His Majesty was given a chance, he would also choose to buy Lynch's plane.

This is not a question of money, it is a question of whether the strategy and tactics can be completed!

Those civilian scientists can build a plane for a few thousand dollars, but does that kind of plane make sense?

Now that the federal army can fight back and forth under the heavy pressure of the Pengio military group, it is not because of how good the federal army is.

They can play like this, all rely on the Air Force to lead!

This also allowed Mr. Wardrick to see Lynch's ability. He not only dared to think, but also dared to speak!

Even Mr. Wardrick, the big capitalist, was in tears when he heard it, and his heart was so **** dark!

A large number of assembly lines began to be produced in the Ankerk factory. A week later, a steady stream of armor-piercing bullets were sent to the front line, and the effect was unanimously praised...

In July, the Federal Congress suddenly passed a very special proposal.

From 23:59:59 on July 31st, which is exactly 0:00 on August 1st, the federation will fully implement prohibition!

The reason why Congress passed such a decision that seems like a dog's brain is that the federal food is not enough.

In the past 20 years, the population of the Federation has increased from less than 40 million to more than 60 million, and it is still increasing.

But the federal acreage and the number of registered pastures, and the number of unsold animals, did not increase by the same proportion.

Even the number of people engaged in agriculture has decreased significantly, which has led to the fact that the federal agricultural output cannot meet the market demand of the domestic population surge.

So all the time ~lightnovelpub.net~ the federation has been importing food, from the member countries of the World Development Council, from Nagalil.

Nagalil has solved the federation's food shortage very well, but due to the war, Nagalil is now half occupied, and the spread and continuation of the war has led to a low farming rate this spring.

This also means that the federal food is very tight.

Brewing requires a lot of food.

When there was no shortage of food before, the winery could be opened for winemaking.

But now there is not enough food, and opening up winemaking will obviously further reduce the proportion of food used for subsistence.

After a short discussion, Congress quickly passed the proposal, and all wineries in the federal territory were shut down.

The local police and the FBI have the right to seal up the wineries that are producing during the prohibition period, and arrest the relevant producers and business owners!

Of course, there is not much interference with the sales of drinks that have been produced so far.

However, starting from August 1, the sale of alcohol requires an "alcoholic beverage business license", and bars without this license are not allowed to sell any alcoholic beverages.

This certificate is very difficult to obtain. Each city has several to dozens of certificates according to the size of the city.

As soon as this bill came out, the entire federation was at a loss. How could they fight so well and suddenly stop drinking?

People don't understand it very much, and there are still demonstrations. Mr. Truman even delivered a national speech on TV. He mentioned the reality of the current severe food shortage, and I hope everyone can understand.

And he promised that once the war was over, Prohibition would be lifted immediately and the production and sales of alcoholic products would resume...
