Scene 172 Gawain
New Haven as a port city.
Citrus is a must-have item for navigation.
Even Ram is familiar with citrus.
However, they don’t like it very much.
Because when the ship carries citrus, they are afraid that the citrus will rot, and all the citrus will be picked and placed on the ship when they are not ripe.
Especially in winter, the cold weather frosts the citrus, and when eaten, it tastes bitter, astringent and sour. No one will like this taste.
So, when Williams and the other three saw Doug bring out a plate of citrus, they all refused in their hearts.
However, Doug had already led the way to pierce a citrus, and they could only follow the guests and "puchi" to pierce the citrus' chrysanthemums one by one.
When they put the citrus petals into their mouths with a feeling of being ready to die, and when their teeth bite the skin of the citrus petals, they felt a sweetness that they had never experienced before.
And in this sweetness, it is a bit similar to the fragrance released when the fruit is about to rot, but it has not yet rotted.
At this time, a warm fire shrouded on them, making them feel much more relaxed.
Doug watched them finish eating the citrus in their hands, and when they poked the second one, Doug said slowly, "I think you have noticed that citrus is actually a very delicious fruit. But it feels the same way, why do the citrus that everyone has eaten in the past taste so bad?"
"Because those citrus are not ripe?" Williams asked.
"Well, indeed, they are not cooked thoroughly. But why aren't they all?" Doug continued to ask.
Ram, who had been on the boat several times, thought about the feeling of swaying in the boundless sea, said, "I'm afraid the oranges will break!"
"Well! There are factors, but there are still!" Doug looked at Gao Wen.
Gao Wen thought hard for a while, but didn't expect more. He shook his head.
Doug said, "Because if the citrus on the boat are delicious, everyone will rush to eat them. In that case, how many citrus are there to be enough?
and……"
Doug sold a little for a moment and said, "Everyone eats citrus and oranges on the boat to prevent sepsis. How could they believe that this thing would be useful if they were not allowed to feel pain when they were eaten?"
When the three of them heard Doug's words, they all fell into deep thought.
Among them, Gao Wen first figured out what he understood.
Williams figured it out later.
Ram knew that in the end he hadn't figured it out yet.
Doug did not ask them what they had figured out, but went directly to the topic that should be discussed at this party. He said, "I think it is very necessary to establish a security company. Bank of America, newspapers, printing and dyeing factories all require professional security personnel. Only in this way can the safety of personnel and property be ensured.
And, I think Winchester Weapons Company, the breakthrough point in selling weapons to the army, is also in the security company.
Only when the military feels that Winchester's weapons are of good quality and excellent performance will they be truly purchased.
Although the gun competition has attracted a wave of private gun buyers, compared with the army, they are not the same order of magnitude as the speed of the bullets consumed or the speed of the update.
So, I went back to the topic just now. I think to sell weapons, there must be a security company."
Listening to Doug's words, Gao Wen remembered his boss's instructions and authorization, and said, "The militia in New Haven can purchase a batch of Winchester Weapons Company's weapons. However, the mayor believes that the establishment of the security company still needs to be considered."
The mayor of New Haven, though he met Doug that day, suggested that he would turn a blind eye to his next action.
However, the mayor still did not expect that Doug was so brave that he had done so many things in such a short time.
For Doug, who can make trouble like this, if he had a military organization with a legal identity, what could he do?
Therefore, when Doug wrote to him, he refused this matter.
Gao Wen also tried to use some orders to make Doug think that it was unnecessary to set up a security company.
Some of the details are very subtle, just like an order for weapons and equipment, which seems to be related to the establishment of a security company.
After all, Doug also said that security companies not only provide training and marketing weapons, but also need to protect their own industries.
However, through orders, the mayor is sending a signal. This is a signal that will not let you do it.
Doug doesn't have to listen to this signal either.
After all, even the mayor of New Haven, even a powerful mayor, could not make a company impossible to establish with just one vote.
However, he has a lot of power.
These public powers will definitely make people in this city who do not listen to him suffer enough.
Doug understood these truths, but he didn't agree. He shook his head and said, "Winchester Weapons Company produces high-quality weapons, which do not require alms.
I suggest a practical exercise. Whether you are a militia or a professional soldier, I will only be Ram and his friends.
However, they will use the weapons of Winchester Weapons.
Let's practice, if Ram wins, how about all weapons purchases in New Haven in the next three years?”
Gao Wen looked at the child who was sitting on the sofa, not as tall as the backrest of the sofa, and looked restrained.
Although he had heard some rumors about this child, and it was said that he killed dozens of people alone in New York, he didn't believe that it was true.
Because even dozens of pigs, this child cannot be killed overnight.
However, he did not agree to the drill because he despised the child.
This is not only because his authority is not large enough, but also because for him, what he needs is to satisfy his boss, the mayor of New Haven, so he doesn't care about other people's views.
He had even thought about how he would respond if Doug provoked him.
He has been a turtle for a long time, and he doesn't mind being a turtle again.
