With detailed data and speeches compiled by Edelman company, two American auto industry leaders came to the Pentagon. The defense department may not pay so much attention to Mike Donald, but the arrival of Henry Ford II should be given enough respect.


    General Ian Wright, assistant secretary of defense and director of the munitions procurement department, personally greeted him outside. It can be said that the specifications are sufficient.


    After a few greetings, lieutenant general Ian Wright took them to the office of secretary of defense Caspar Weinberg.


    Caspar Weinberg, known as a cold war warrior, is very different from other defense ministers. This old boy is full of talents.


    Caspar Weinberg was born in the United States during the first World War. With Herbert Hoover running for president and the great depression, Weinberg undoubtedly belongs to the greatest generation in American history.


    During World War II, Weinberg served as General MacArthur and fought in the Pacific. He entered California and eventually became a senior aide to governor Ronald Reagan. In his early years as director of management and budget, he was known as a "razor" because of the sharp cuts in the government budget. He was also known as a "long dipper" because he presided over the largest military expansion of the United States in peacetime, which means spreading money everywhere indiscriminately?


    He advocated that the US military should continue to expand its military strength, but equally firmly opposed the abuse of force. He opposed the sale of weapons to Iran, but was eventually shamed by the "Iran gate" scandal of the Reagan administration. After retiring from politics, Weinberg joined Forbes magazine and served successively as publisher and chairman.


    This is a miracle in the world military history. It can be seen that it is definitely a legend.


    One of the reasons why old Edelman dares to take over this business is that the Secretary of defense is definitely a master who dares to spend money. At this time, he was in the most tense state of the cold war, and he couldn''t help saving money.


    Seeing Henry Ford II coming in, Caspar Weinberg didn''t dare to ask big. He quickly stood up and said, "the two leaders of Ford and GM, welcome."


    Although he is your secretary of defense, he belongs to the most powerful group of people in the United States. But in front of Henry Ford II, we should keep a low profile.


    Born as a lawyer, she knows the power of these top families better than ordinary people. After becoming Secretary of defense, she knows who American politics is serving.


    The Ford family has developed in the United States for nearly a century, although there are still some differences compared with the Rockefeller and Morgan families. But compared with ordinary people, it has absolute authority. Not to mention that he is the Secretary of defense, even the president should give him three points.


    When you are in office, people may give you face. But once the term ends, they are no different from ordinary people. But the Ford family is still the Ford family, even after hundreds of years. As long as there are no black sheep in the family, they may still exist.


    After several people sat down, Mike Donald looked at Henry Ford II. Obviously, you should speak first, or we won''t say much.


    Henry Ford II was very happy to see the attitude of the people. After all, this is a kind of respect for him and recognition of the Ford family.


    Henry Ford II: "Your Excellency the Secretary of defense is very kind. It is also our honor to be invited to the Pentagon this time. It is the duty of every citizen to make due contributions to the United States. Ford Motor and even the whole Ford family will be duty bound. "


    This is the ability of top public relations companies. It is clear that they want to do business with the Ministry of defense. But it is shameless that the military must need the cooperation and assistance of the two companies.


    However, it also shows the ability of others from the side, which has to be admitted.


    As a lawyer, Caspar Weinberg certainly knows what Ford II means. He is familiar with this word game. Not angry, because everyone''s interests are the same. As long as you remember this, everything is not a problem.


    Caspar Weinberg: "now the Soviet Union has formed great military pressure on the United States, and the national strategic transportation force has been in a backward state."


    "The Soviet army is stronger than ours, which is a very dangerous thing. The United States must make changes and not let the Soviets have even a little advantage. "


    "This invitation is also to discuss how the United States should respond. At this time, most of the US military vehicles were produced during the Vietnam War, and their performance has been completely backward. "


    "In addition, most of the cars purchased before were Jeep brand cars, and now it seems that the safety can not be guaranteed. After all, once the Jeep brand divulges the performance of military vehicles, we will be very passive on the battlefield in the future. Although heiyun group is not so bold, it is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. To nip all signs that are not conducive to the US military in the cradle, we must take precautions. "


    Caspar Weinberg''s words are high sounding and people can''t find anything wrong. If he didn''t know what was going on, he would have cheated him. Don''t.


    Mike Donald knows he has to speak. After all, general motors is the main military purchase. Henry Ford II should not be allowed to steal the limelight, which is not conducive to order distribution. Although there is an agreement, what if Henry Ford II doesn''t want to fulfill it.


    This is a business involving tens of billions of dollars. No one can be indifferent.


    Mike Donald: "it''s a great honor for every citizen to serve America. Providing soldiers with the best performance vehicles has always been the goal of GM. "


    "In order to enable soldiers to drive the most advanced cars in the world, General Motors has been preparing for five years. The military has personally verified that Hummer military vehicles are absolutely the most superior in terms of comprehensive performance in the world. "


    Hearing that he began to preach his own car, everyone at the scene knew that this was to get to the point. After all, the previous bedding is enough, and it seems a little false in many.


    In Henry Ford II''s view, Mike Donald did not want Ford to take advantage. Fearing that he would outrun him, Ford became the leader in the military procurement of vehicles.


    As an automobile enterprise with a history of nearly 100 years, how can it forget its righteousness and tear up the contract. However, the boy can think so, which proves that GM must have done something similar. Otherwise, how could he worry about others. It seems that we should be more careful when talking to GM. If you don''t pay attention, you will be calculated by the other party.


    Mike Donald did not expect that his unintentional move had caused Ford II to misunderstand; It also foreshadowed the breakdown of follow-up cooperation.


    Caspar Weinberg smiled and said, "I have some absolute confidence in the technical strength and reliability of GM and Ford. Especially when the two enterprises are united. The military vehicles produced by the two top automobile manufacturers in the United States will amaze the world. "


    "At this time, everyone can imagine that the best soldiers in the world; Equipped with the best vehicles in the world and galloping on the plains of Eastern Europe. "


    Although this is only a good wish, it can also give people infinite Association.


    Seeing that everyone has recovered, Caspar Weinberg continued: "if you want to replace all military vehicles, you must use the waste of active military vehicles. The scheme you submitted can be of high performance, and general Ian Wright is fully responsible for this matter. "


    You two should prepare the performance description of the vehicle and the quotation of a single unit in advance. Although it is the comprehensive strength of the United States, I still hope you don''t ask too much. The Ministry of defense is not a rich unit.


    After that, everyone at the scene laughed, which was tacit.


    Hearing that he was responsible for contacting the black cloud group and baozixuan, Ian Wright didn''t say anything. In his opinion, these people are shameless enough. Heiyun not only can''t get the order from the Ministry of defense, but also has to buy back the cars sold before. Although the Jeep brand already belongs to baozixuan, he didn''t make a penny for the cars previously sold to the US Army.


    Now the use is old and the performance is out of date. Just think of others, how to speak. However, it is the bounden duty of a soldier to obey orders, and he must carry out the orders of the Secretary of defense.


    More importantly, Ian Wright also saw huge benefits. Whether it is the purchase of new military vehicles or the disposal of old vehicles. These can be well operated. I heard that the Soviets made a lot of money when dealing with equipment.


    Now the opportunity is in front of us, so we can''t let it go. Although I played with baozixuan several times before and didn''t succeed, it doesn''t mean anything. This time it''s dealing with items. It won''t be too difficult to sell with baozixuan''s contacts. It depends on what the young man thinks. No one can guess at this time.
