Chapter 743 Small Things
This world has technology, but the scale and method of productivity are not enough to support the large-scale and cheap production of these technological products. Just like the pocket watches in the Victorian era, craftsmen had to carve out fine parts one by one, but after the millennium, the production of pocket watches could be as easy as making dumplings.
The productivity of Liaoyuan Heavy Industry is like a stimulated cotton ball, which is constantly expanding. This expansion speed can be said to be very gratifying, but it is also easy to be wary.
Lin En's docking with the military has quickly entered the right track.
Not only does it provide jobs for retired soldiers, but it also promotes products on weapons and protective gear, provides benefits for officers, and their wives and children can enjoy commodity reductions and preferential treatments in the areas controlled by Liaoyuan, and education is also trying to keep up. This level and complex interest binding, but the soldiers who have always been able to think only of rough robbery and bribery, feel like spring breeze.
The military has also gradually realized the excellent potential and vision of Liaoyuan Heavy Industry from the products promoted, and has taken a step forward in the cooperation between the two.
The battleship general behind Brandy gave Lin En a nominal position in the Navy Procurement Department, with a military rank, but without any power. Such operations are actually very common. Who doesn't have some relatives who take kickbacks in the procurement department? As long as it does not affect the quality and is not too much, people in this era don't care. Having power is equal to having money, it's that simple.
Although it is said that without real power, one cannot control the army, but this nominal position gave Lin En unexpected convenience.
According to the military law of the Kingdom of Albion, as long as they are officers, they are qualified to recruit and train soldiers. Such soldiers are equivalent to militias and private bodyguards in nature, and do not enjoy all the benefits and treatment of the kingdom's army. For the superiors, this thing is a chicken rib. When the country is stable and cannot exceed the rules, it is useless. For the inferiors, the materials needed to support a militia are enough to make people cold.
But for Lin En, it is a convenient way to divide the red and blue armies, equip different weapons, and conduct war games in different venues, so that no one will find fault with him.
New weapons, new equipment, and new combat concepts all need to be verified through acting. According to the fine tradition, the data that Lin En sets for the enemy are all inhuman. After Brandy came to watch twice, he looked at Lin En with a strange look, probably thinking that he had a problem with his brain. Who would act to set up such a strong enemy to suppress the morale of his side? This is simply shit in the eyes of modern armies.
Brandy almost asked directly whether Lin En was going to fight a unit composed of all extraordinary people.
Well, there is no way to explain this kind of thing.
Lin En is also happy to be regarded as a young man's nonsense. Sometimes doing something stupid in the eyes of others makes it easier to integrate with others and not appear too lofty.
Although he has a nominal position and military rank, Lin En is still very low-key and restrained in the violent armed forces actually controlled by Liaoyuan Heavy Industry. There are no firearms, no direct lethal weapons, and the current urban explosion-proof equipment is mainly equipped with the enemy's inability to resist, and is specially used for urban security management.
As for those lethal weapons and special items, they are all given priority to the military. They will never be put into service if they are manufactured by us, and they will all be sealed up.
Of course, as long as Liaoyuan Heavy Industry is willing, it is actually very simple to modify the equipment.
But this kind of thing is completely unnecessary at present.
In terms of secular security, the Elba Field detectives who are well-off and honest are working diligently. They will naturally work harder for their children to have a good social environment. As for the mystery, there are a total of 15 pioneering teams, and the mystery of the entire lower city area is cooperating with Liaoyuan through the autonomous association.
This place has become a veritable safe zone.
But safety comes at a price.
Lin En has had some headaches recently, and there are two things that bother him.
The first is that after the coachmen were collectively bankrupted and unemployed by the mud trucks of Liaoyuan Heavy Industry, a parade broke out under the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, pointing directly to the new industrial park. The atmosphere of eagerness to buy for zero yuan almost made Lin En jump with three corpses. The incident was finally settled. Brandy, who got the news, instructed two junior officers to take the military police. They happened to meet these angry coachmen when they were running.
Then...
There was no more. All these unlucky guys were caught without a single one left. They were sent to the labor camp with the butts of their guns by the grinning soldiers. These untouchables will obviously spend the rest of their lives in the mine. Catching people and selling them reasonably is a way for the lower-level soldiers to make money. Even with high welfare, it is not something that can be changed in a short time.
Afterwards, Brandy sent a message to Lin En in a very arrogant manner, saying, "No need to thank me."
I thank your mother!
After Lin En learned the whole story, he couldn't help cursing. The reason was very simple. The soldiers were really happy after doing this simply and crudely, but it left a hidden contradiction for Liaoyuan Heavy Industry. The coachmen's incident was a precedent. If Liaoyuan talks about replacement and reform in different industries in the future, it will be much more difficult.
As a last resort, Lin En and Yuri could only try to make up for the loss.
As for those people who got some superficial evidence, they could only endure it for the time being. They should just pretend that nothing happened when they were targeted. There would always be a time for reckoning.
The cake has already been made, and although it can continue to expand, some people can no longer hold back.
These people who are secretly interested can still be turned away.
However, the military that tries to place relatives and friends in lucrative positions during the honeymoon period is not so easy to deal with. The bullshit nepotism and bribery are the premise for the rapid corruption of the organization, but when someone just helped you deal with some things and then made a request, you really have no way to refuse. This is the second thing that Lin En is worried about. For this reason, he had to set the consideration criteria, as well as the quota of new extraordinary people, and conduct multiple exams for these people in the future.
When he tactfully expressed that inability would be bad and would further affect the quality of the product, Brandy also expressed understanding and approved of his approach.
After all, it is just to squeeze people in to receive benefits. Since the stronger the ability, the better the benefits, and the promotion channels are still here, the pressure will naturally fall on these people who come in.
If they don't study hard, they will have no benefits, and they will waste quotas compared to other people.
There is absolutely no reason to complain. There is no such thing in this world as making more money by doing nothing. Do you really think you are a royal noble?
