Chapter 1856 This Is Embarrassing
Professor Chandra stayed in San Antonio after the Baath Party was over. His entourage wanted him to return to New York immediately, but the longer he stayed in the city, the more excited he was by the social changes that were taking place.
For the first time in more than 200 years, foreign forces entered the United States. This force also appears to be extremely strong, and even began to carry out major surgical reforms on American society. In order to stay and observe this unprecedented change, Chandra even wrote a letter to Zhou Qingfeng to send an investigation request.
Chandra is considered a diplomat, and Zhou Qingfeng didn't want to drive him away before he broke his face with David Lawrence. So the government special adviser to the New York fraternity records with great interest every day all the changes he sees in the city.
In fact, when the gun ban came up, Chandra was shocked by it.
Holding a gun is a deep-rooted culture in the United States. It comes from the living habits of Europeans when they pioneered and colonized America more than two hundred years ago-America is actually a very, very special country, and its birth process is very different from other countries. s difference.
For Rabbit Citizens, the concept of nation and country is clear and clear, and it is not uncommon for them to abandon their families for the country. But for people living in the United States, there has never been an American nation, and the country is just a union, so the individual is the most important.
In order to defend personal property, owning a gun is a matter of course. However, the Aurora Legion actually wants to reverse this deep-rooted cultural thought, and it is still in Texas, where the gun-bearing culture is the strongest.
Chandra was not optimistic about this gun ban from the very beginning. He felt that it would become a joke like the historical "alcohol ban" in the United States.
result…….
"The Jews are really not a good thing. They actually gave the Aurora Legion such a scheming idea." Thinking of the "civil servant shooting test" conducted by Mayor Sherlock, Chandra wanted to vomit blood——attacking the shield with the spear , It's really amazing.
Taking advantage of the psychology of Texans who like to hold guns, they conduct exams and recruit Texans on a large scale to join the military and police to legally hold guns. Using half the Texans to overwhelm the other half the Texans - good, good, really good!
The Texans are also stupid, and they go to take the exam wave after wave. Chandra can only lament that this method can only be supported by Victor Hugo, who has a lot of money. The work of registration management alone is extremely huge, not to mention the monthly salary.
Who can afford this money if it is not a local tyrant?
And even the Texans who always like to make trouble can handle it, and the other states in the southwestern United States have no resistance. A place with a lot of gays like California doesn't like guns very much, and the enforcement of the gun ban is better than that of Texas.
In fact, every family in North America knows the benefits of banning guns, but no one has dared to challenge social culture.
Seeing that the Aurora Legion's gun ban is so smooth, the neighbors around are not happy—why can you, Victor Hugo, enjoy a safe social environment in the future? We do not agree. If you want to die, let everyone die together!
When Chandra delivered a report to New York, David Lawrence asked him if there was any way to disrupt this epoch-making 'ban on guns'?
After pondering for several days, Chandra came up with a way to find a way to smuggle a batch of weapons over to impact the current weapons collection operation of the Aurora Legion.
"Texans are actually very reluctant to have their guns confiscated. In private, many people feel insecure because they don't have guns. There are many black markets for guns in the suburbs of the city. We can fully meet the needs of these people. The key is to increase the collection of Aurora Legion The cost of weapons, raising the pressure on its finances."
Chandra is an economist, and his favorite thing to do is to calculate economic accounts. He has no way to get Zhou Qingfeng to stop the gun ban diplomatically or by force. All he can think of is to use the imbalance in supply and demand to try to make the gun ban go bankrupt because of spending too much money.
David Lawrence took this idea very seriously, but he didn't border the Aurora Legion, so it was not his turn to smuggle.
So the commander-in-chief of the New York Brotherhood contacted the Enclave's President Biden for the first time, and talked about the plan to partner with the Aurora Legion.
The two sides hit it off almost immediately and started working immediately.
First, the Enclave collected 100,000 scrap firearms and smuggled them into Texas to test the waters. The Aurora Legion responded quickly to this, and immediately classified the confiscated firearms into categories, and only gave a small redemption fee for the used firearms.
This did not cause the Aurora Legion to bleed much.
Then the Brotherhood of New York turned on its newly revived arms factory to produce 100,000 'new guns'. The guns all look good at first glance and are functional, but the materials and workmanship used are terrible. For example, the process of chrome-plating the barrel is saved, saving costs.
After these 'new guns' were smuggled into Texas, they made a fortune in Aurora Coins, but it didn't take long for the Aurora Legion to react—the military police who collected the weapons began to shift the focus of their investigation from firearms to ammunition. The gun must be matched with ammunition to get a relatively high redemption fee.
A weapon without ammunition is worse than a firestick. And bullets, shells, grenades, rockets, making ammunition is much more difficult than making guns. And as long as the ammunition is cleared, the gun is useless.
So Chandra found that this plan could not keep up with the changes, what should I do?
In fact, due to all kinds of fuss in the last three years, the ammunition stocks of various forces in the wasteland have been squandered. Except for Zhou Qingfeng who was able to get a stable supply, the other forces were having trouble resuming ammunition production. The folks even use bullets as hard currency.
Making bullets requires a fairly advanced level of chemical industry, metallurgy industry and machining. Otherwise, it's the same thing whether the bullets made can hit or not, and they might explode and maim the shooter to death.
Even the happiest New York fraternity can only produce a small amount of ammunition in its arms factory. It is really difficult to smuggle money to the Aurora Legion to cheat the other party.
"I should still have a lot of .30-caliber full-power M2 ordinary ammunition produced decades ago in my military stockpile. It is estimated that there will be tens of billions of rounds. Or use my newly-made inferior rifles to smuggle them to the Aurora Legion for redemption .”
The M2 ordinary ammunition mentioned by David Lawrence is an obsolete old ammunition, which belongs to the "grandfather" that has not been touched for decades at the bottom of the library. This thing is still a thing from World War II, and the reserve soldiers don't want to use it.
Give it a try, what else can you do?
So the Enclave smuggled low-quality rifles and old ammunition from the New York Brotherhood into Texas. One distributes the weapons to the Texans, hoping to spark a riot. Second, it can increase the financial pressure of the Aurora Legion and make the gun ban bankrupt.
This trick is really easy to use.
Although it is a low-quality rifle with old ammunition, it can kill people. It is impossible for the Aurora Legion to allow these weapons and ammunition to circulate in the market, so they can only do their best to block smuggling channels, ban smuggled firearms, and buy smuggled ammunition.
After selling more than one billion rounds of old ammunition, even David Lawrence felt that he had found the lifeblood of the Aurora Legion. He thought that he would have to make Victor Hugo bleed if he got out all those libraries in the warehouse.
However, just when the New York Brotherhood and the Enclave were preparing to fight together, a shocking case broke out inside the Enclave. In order to obtain a huge ransom fee, the senior officers in charge of smuggling of the two organizations mixed the weapons and equipment of the active troops with inferior firearms. Sold to the Aurora Legion.
If it weren't for the vendetta caused by the uneven distribution of spoils internally, no one would have known about this case.
After a rough check, the equipment of five or six divisions has been sold, all of which are the main battle weapons. David Lawrence was furious when he learned about it.
Eh..., this is very embarrassing!
