Chapter 77: Army: Why don’t I get any good things? The “Awakening Path” of a Texas Ruthless Man!
Eagle Sauce.

In the small town of Livermore, at the Fountain Square in the city center.

The two black and white evil spirits were still standing here like statues, reading books. The pigeons on the left and right saw that they couldn't get any food, so they flew down from the sky and landed at their feet.

"Buller, when do you think we can finish reading these books?"

Parker wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It took us several days to finish reading two books. I couldn't finish them at all."

Compared with the previous few books, this one is obviously more difficult. Not only is the content of the book difficult to understand, but the various phenomena it describes also make people stop thinking and think about the question "Why is it like this?"

Not only are the issues in the book thought-provoking, but the weather in California becomes increasingly unbearable as we get closer to June.

The temperature was not hot, but the sun hanging high in the sky was so dazzling that he could not open his eyes, making it impossible for him to concentrate on reading.

"This two thousand dollar reward is really hard to earn." The fat boy Parker took a sip of the fat house happy water in his hand and patted his belly.

However, Buller next to him seemed not to have heard his question at all, and his eyes were still looking into the distance in deep thought.

"what happened to you?"

Parker suddenly thought of something: "You are not still thinking about that thing, let's forget it!"

Recently, someone has been causing trouble for them for no apparent reason, and they can't even get ordinary jobs like helping people find things, move houses, etc. It's obvious that group of people are the real "gangsters".

After all, although Livermore is just a small town, it is very close to the Bay Area, the economic lifeline of the United States, and the lower class is still a mixed bag.

"Didn't the book say that? Be patient and you will have peace." Parker began to persuade.

This kind of thing has happened before. They just need to endure it for a month or two, but during this time they will lose their source of income.

This is why he is reading here in the scorching sun. A reward of two thousand dollars can really save lives nowadays.

"No, Parker, you misunderstood." Buller broke away from his thoughts: "I'm not thinking about this, I'm thinking why all this happened?"

"What are you talking about?" Parker asked puzzled.

"Why do we always have to be at the bottom of society? The descendants of gangsters are still gangsters, and the descendants of drug dealers are still drug dealers." Buhler murmured, "This shouldn't be like this."

He himself had been living among the lower classes since he was a child. Did they want to do that? Who wouldn't want to climb up?
But it is obvious that there is not much possibility for the Eagle Sauce.

The lower class people only attend community elementary schools, community high schools, and community colleges, and the educational resources they receive are almost all the worst. They call it "happy education," and what you learn is completely different from aristocratic education.

Even if you study hard and have great talent, you will eventually find that all the famous schools in the United States use the "recommendation system" used by the feudal dynasty. What does it matter if you have better grades? If someone else's parents graduated from Harvard, they will be given priority admission.

The vast majority of the remaining places can be admitted through sponsorship fees, special talents and other means. Only a few places are left for ordinary people, and they have to be designated based on ethnicity, etc.

Even after you have reached this point, you still feel despair because of the tuition fees of tens of thousands of dollars each year. Ordinary people can only go through their lives in a daze.

"Capitalism has always been a privilege enjoyed by a few people." Buller repeated this sentence and finally understood it.

Even education is unequal, let alone other aspects?
"You're thinking too far ahead, aren't you?" Parker shook his head helplessly. "Let's finish reading these books first and get the two thousand dollars."

We haven’t even solved the problem of food and clothing, why are we still considering this?
Buller did not refute: "You are right. We must equip ourselves well. Knowledge is our only 'weapon'."

He remembered a famous saying: Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun, and the enemies must be dealt a heavy blow so that they will know fear.

Buhler felt that what he needed to understand was too superficial and far from enough now.

This time he was not just trying to earn the two thousand dollars, Buhler also wanted to find an answer, a way to solve the problem.

When a pair of "Crouching Dragon and Phoenix" were studying books diligently.

Summer.

The General Assembly Department, which is responsible for the research and development and production processes of weapons and equipment nationwide, is located in the head office building in Yanjing.

"Old Kong, you have to give us an explanation." A majestic middle-aged man with two golden flowers on his shoulders said angrily, "Why do all the good things belong to the Air Force and Navy?"

He heard news from the navy early in the morning that they were going to develop a new generation of carrier-based aircraft.

Now that the aircraft carrier has not been formally developed and modified, the navy is already looking down on the fourth-generation J-15 and says it wants to directly build the fifth-generation carrier-based fighter J-35!

"We are the army's stepmother, aren't we?" He widened his eyes, like a furious King Kong: "They are getting new equipment one after another, why don't they leave some for our army?"

Needless to say, as for the Air Force, projects such as the J-20 heavy air superiority aircraft and strategic transport aircraft are progressing in an orderly manner. There are even rumors that a new type of strategic bomber is about to be launched.

The situation of the navy is even more outrageous. The Varyag aircraft carrier, new destroyer projects, etc. are all under development, and now even the carrier-based aircraft have to be replaced with fifth-generation aircraft.

Their army still has nothing? All the good things are caught up by the air force and navy, right?

"Old Zhou, what you said is wrong."

The man named 'Lao Kong' put down his pen and said seriously: "Aren't the Type 08 armored vehicles going to be put into service for you? The Type 08 rocket launchers and QBZ-03 automatic rifles have also been put into service."

It was obvious that Lao Kong had confidence in saying this. The army has also had a lot of new equipment in the past two years, even the uniforms have been replaced with new ones.

Zhou Haowu got angry when he heard this: "We also have an aviation force in the army, but we don't know when the Z-10 will be put into service. The Z-9 has been in use for almost years, so it's time to update it, right?"

"Besides, who said our army doesn't need transport planes?"

These things haven't been updated for many years, and their army is also in urgent need of an aircraft with a larger carrying capacity, rather than relying solely on the pitiful carrying capacity of the Z-9, which is not even enough to transport a squad each time.

Although many Mi-17 helicopters were introduced, they were not much better.

"If it doesn't work, you can let our army aviation soldiers fly fighter jets." Zhou Haowu curled his lips: "The navy has bombers and fighter jets, why can't our army do the same?"

What's the use of just updating their army with some rifles and sniper rifles?

Can this thing be as good as the fifth-generation aircraft?
"The third-generation main battle tank 99A is about to be completed. Is this thing not easy to use?"

Kong Jianmin continued in a sullen tone, "And do you think our General Armament Department has made a fortune? How can we have so much money to build transport planes or bombers for your army?"

"How come their navy and air force have so much money?"

"Don't worry about it. The funding and jurisdiction of these projects are directly allocated by the highest level anyway."

Hearing this, Zhou Haowu cursed inwardly: "Then isn't our army raised by a stepmother?"

Even though all the projects are under unified management at the highest level, the army is still waiting anxiously for the slow development process, and it is still unknown when the 99A will be put into service.

At this time.

Because the office door was not closed, Li Yunshan, who was standing outside, naturally heard the conversation.

He couldn't help but ask, "Old Zhou, your army is short of new equipment? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"What if I told you earlier? Do I ask you to build me more self-propelled artillery?" Zhou Haowu frowned: "What's the point of that?"

Previously, the 732 Military Factory mainly produced various artillery and heavy artillery, which are absolutely sufficient for the current army.

My lord, the era when planes and heavy artillery rushed forward is long gone.

"Who said it was artillery? We have recently developed some more powerful weapons." Li Yunshan raised the corner of his mouth.

This is also the main purpose of his visit to the General Assembly Department this time. The 732 Military Factory has developed new weapons and equipment based on small drones.

Coincidentally, he felt that this weapon was particularly suitable for use by the army.

Elbow, come with me into the house and I'll show you something nice.
