(I have been replying to two updates since the 16th. I am really sorry for the first update during this time. I have no face to ask for votes and rewards. There will be 500 VIP chapters soon. The light of the great god should be available. Old Driver who have not yet fully ordered, what are you waiting for.)
Than? Compare it to what?
One machine body can be used in all battlefield environments and can be used in almost any war situation. Its performance exceeds that of the Jim by several times. Although the cost is slightly higher, in the long run, the cost is still many times lower than the various models of the Jim that continue to be developed. The key is the modularity that has never been heard of, and the various backpacks that can be changed according to different environments, which can completely allow one military branch to be used as a whole service.
When many people think of the current mixed situation among the military services within the Earth Federation, they think that the entire military uses this type of machine called M1 Astray. The sky and the earth are all multi-purpose machines. A low-cost backpack is used by the Army as Space Force. When entering the earth, it is replaced with a backpack, and Space Force is used by the Army. This kind of true strategic integration makes many people feel excited when they think about it.
People with more foresight and thinking are thinking about another thing. When Space Force is no longer limited to the universe, and when the army is no longer limited to the mainland, then there will inevitably be a huge change within the current Earth Federation Army side, and such a change must be a good thing for Earth Federation as a whole. However, in such a change, some people will inevitably further enjoy the benefits. As for who can get these benefits...
The eyes of the seven people standing under the podium flickered at the same time, they looked at each other and laughed meaningfully. No matter who can get a share of these benefits, the seven Anaheim stakeholders cannot escape. Earth Federation purchases M1 Astray. They have benefits. When M1 Astray is delivered, they will definitely be the first to be allocated.
Even among these seven people, some thought further. After obtaining the first batch of M1 Astray, they took advantage of the situation to establish a brand new force, a special force that was not restricted by military services and had the right to fight in the universe and on the earth. Since it is a special force, this force will naturally have some special rights.
But if such a force is really established, it won't be interesting if the team is small...Earth Federation Although there are factional disputes, people in the factions can cooperate privately.
Xiao Ran was talking on the podium, while Cardias stood in the shadow behind Xiao Ran, looking at the inexplicable expressions on the faces of the seven important people inside Earth Federation. An unpredictable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he murmured softly, "Have you already thought of this... But even if you haven't thought of it, we will encourage you to think in that direction."
"This is just the beginning. The appearance of M1 Astray will make you sway. What will appear next will make you determined to exchange interests, and what appears in the end is the real trump card. From the time you came here, you have fallen into the big network we have compiled. You will either become part of the network or be eaten by predators and eliminated by this era."
Xiao Ran also noticed the expressions and eyes on the faces of the seven people in the audience. He smiled in his heart and squinted his eyes at the same time. He had a new understanding of Cardias, the patriarch of the Bist Family. He was indeed a fox who could lead Anaheim Company to develop into a transcendent force. He was indeed not a simple guy.
"Having said that M1 Astray can start mass production at any time, let's talk about something else now." Xiao Ran snapped his fingers, and the picture on the screen behind him changed again. This time what appeared on the screen was a simple cargo plane with two wings, but the shape of this cargo plane looked a bit like the Universe Travel machine that had been enlarged an unknown number of times.
The reason why the adjective "magnified many times" is entirely because there are specific size parameters about this Shuttlecraft next to the picture of Transport Aircraft, and it also indicates the number of twelve mobile suits that Transport Aircraft can carry. It is just an aircraft specially designed for transportation. Although the capacity is not small, it is actually much smaller than a battleship. At least it is at least half the size of the White Base except for the wings, but it is not only half as cheap in terms of cost.
The appearance of Transport Aircraft on the screen made everyone stunned. They did not understand why another picture of Transport Aircraft popped up at this time. It is really strange that this Transport Aircraft was mentioned after MS. But there is nothing to introduce about Transport Aircraft, and it was only introduced after MS.
Xiao Ran also saw the doubts in the hearts of more than a hundred people in the audience. After smiling slightly, he said, "I think everyone is wondering why such an unimportant thing is chosen to be announced after MS. But in fact, we have made special arrangements in the selection of the order. The reason why this new type of Transport Aircraft will appear after MS is naturally special."
"Currently, it is easy to land on the earth from the universe, but it is very troublesome to ascend from the earth to the universe. Especially in the case of war, every time transporting troops to the universe can actually be said to be an adventure. Using battleships as rockets to lift off at the same time seems spectacular and convenient, but it is actually a waste of resources. Especially with the advent of MS, the transportation method of MS will undergo fundamental changes."
"And the Transport Aircraft you see now is the leader who completed this great change." Xiao Ran paused and gradually emphasized his tone. "This Transport Aircraft has super lift-off performance. When loaded with twelve mobile suits, it can directly lift off from the ground into the universe. It has the ability to break into the universe alone without relying on any other equipment."
"Our latest research, Transport Aircraft, doesn't have to choose time, place, or refer to the environment. It has the ability to enter the universe with a full load at any time and under any circumstances, and it is even easier to land on the earth from the universe. With such Transport Aircraft, geographical location is no longer limited by military warfare, whether it is the earth or the universe, with this kind of Transport Aircraft, you can move between two battlefields at any time, which definitely brings more than just the little benefits of convenience and time saving."
"In terms of speed, it far exceeds conventional transportation methods. A single Transport Aircraft can ascend to the universe and land in the universe at least twice a day. The emergence of this Transport Aircraft will truly break the shackles of the military services and have the ability to deploy the fastest on the ever-changing battlefield. I think everyone knows the importance of this much better than me."
"Of course, the most important cost issue is just the price of a Transport Aircraft for air use plus a Shuttlecraft for space use. Compared with the price, the practicality of this Transport Aircraft far exceeds it. If it is deployed on a large scale, it will inevitably lead to another change in the situation of future wars. With the use of M1 Astray, everyone can imagine how far it can be achieved."
After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he smiled slightly and said no more, but he also laughed secretly in his heart. The Transport Aircraft he said now was just a random fabrication by him and Cardias. However, although it was a random fabrication, it was technically a piece of equipment that could really be produced.
As long as the technology of Thermonuclear Energy Engine exists, it is actually not too difficult to create this kind of Transport Aircraft. The only thing required is time. Speaking of the technical aspects is naturally not fabricated. Bragging is only a draft. It is just an outlook that has not been tested in practice. It can stand the test, and such an outlook is also normal for business. If Earth Federation is really interested in this kind of Transport Aircraft and placed a large order. Anaheim Company can naturally mobilize more resources to start the real "research and development" of Transport Aircraft. It is just a combination of technologies. It does not take three months at most. According to the current level of Anaheim Company, a test machine can be developed.
As soon as this Transport Aircraft, which didn't even have a code name, appeared, Cardias clearly saw the seven people and even many people in the venue, their eyes lit up. What can M1 Astray do in General Motors? There are so many benefits, so of course, you should buy it. Yes, but transportation is also a big problem, but the emergence of Transport Aircraft solves this problem all at once. It really brings the multi-purpose M1 Astray to its extreme. The effect that can be produced when combined with it is enough to make many people think of many things.
Cardias walked up to Xiao Ran and patted him on the shoulder. Xiao Ran just turned off the microphone in his hand, and heard Cardias beside him say softly, "I'm almost hooked."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, moving his mouth slightly. "Then the next step is to talk to the most likely person."
"Yes." Cardias nodded, picked up another microphone, coughed twice, and then said, "Needless to say, the importance of the two pieces of equipment released today. The combination of the two pieces of equipment will bring about earth-shaking changes to the world, so I hope everyone can understand my caution."
"The announcement must be announced. You can choose when to announce it and how to announce these two pieces of equipment. This requires everyone to sit down and discuss it." Cardias said and laughed, and said, "Of course, Anaheim Company's interests are everyone's interests, and everyone's interests are also Anaheim Company's interests, so it is best to announce it at a time where everyone can win."
"The two pieces of equipment announced to you today, M1 Astray and Transport Aircraft, are not all the results of our family cooperation over the years, Mr. Bist Family and Mr. Alex. There are some results that involve more things, so they will not be announced here. If you are interested, you can stay here for a few days, and maybe you will hear some information about other research results from others."
"In addition..." Cardias kept smiling, and deliberately paused when he said the other two words. It wasn't until everyone's attention was focused that he announced a piece of news that immediately made the crowd below the podium roar, "Because of the relationship with Alex's cooperation, coupled with Alex's technical support for Anaheim Company, I have reached an agreement with Mr. Alex, and I need to announce it to everyone at this time."
"Starting from today, Mr. Alex will obtain 40% of all the shares of the Bist Family except Anaheim Company, while Mr. Anaheim Company and Alex will occupy 65% of the shares, and the shares of the remaining people will be reduced according to the corresponding proportion."
"What!?"
After Cardias announced the news, the entire venue became noisy. Among the more than a hundred people present, most of them represented forces and themselves did not hold too many shares of Anaheim Company, but now it was reduced to a fraction of the previous level. Many people suddenly became depressed, and some even showed angry looks.
Cardias sneered when he saw this scene. Perhaps before Xiao Ran did not appear, Cardias would have been deeply wary of the power of unity among these people present, and would have been even more jealous of Earth Federation felt afraid, but now that he has a trump card behind him, Cardias does not feel that these people will pose any threat to him, and not only will they not be a threat, a large number of them will become his most loyal helpers.
There was a commotion under the podium, and some people were shouting in the direction of Cardias, but Cardias didn't hear it at all. Instead, he took the microphone and continued, "You feel that you are at a loss.? I lost so many shares even though I didn't know any technology. Don't forget that I, Cardias, am just a businessman and I don't do business at a loss. Even I think I took advantage. Why are you so angry?"
"The benefits of M1 Astray and Transport Aircraft alone are enough to make up for the losses caused by the reduction of shareholdings. If I hadn't still thought of everyone's help to Anaheim Company and our Bist Family, I could have asked Mr. Alex to re-establish a new company. In that case, no one would get any benefit at all."
Cardias's tough attitude made everyone feel embarrassed, but Cardias wanted to use this method to select all those self-righteous guys and exclude them from the list of people who can cooperate in the future. It can be regarded as deliberately irritating these people, and even if some people are difficult to irritate, what they will tell those people next is enough to extinguish all their anger at once, so Cardias doesn't care at all how many people he offends.
Just listen to Cardias continue to say, "As I said just now, there are still many technologies that are not convenient to announce at this time. It involves too many people and there are too many people to talk about. It is related to the interests of everyone and Anaheim, so I will communicate with a few important people first before deciding whether to announce it to everyone. This is why I ask everyone to stay a few more days."
