The mechanical craze in Marvel

"I'm sorry, this is really at cost price. If the price goes any lower, we'll have to sell it at a loss."

Locke Technology is now very poor.

Nolan shrugged, feigning helplessness.

He wasn't just talking nonsense; currently, Locke Technology has almost no other industries besides its core business.

Of course, most of this is pure nonsense.

poverty?

If Locke Technology can still be described as poor, then there is no one in the world who can be described as rich.

"Ten thousand sets!"

The army general spoke frankly.

"This is only the first batch. If needed, we will make further purchases, but at that time I hope the price can be lower."

That's 10000 sets!

The army general's face showed helplessness; it was another major hemorrhage.

He had already made up his mind that no matter what Nolan Locke showed next, he would not spend another penny on Locke Technology.

Because if he did that, he suspected he would really spend all the army's budget.

After the Army opted for a major financial sacrifice, the Air Force and Navy also made some purchases.

After all, the Black Armor's combat capabilities are undeniable, and the various actions of the Avengers during this period have been the best advertisement for the Black Armor.

Especially Maria Hill.

S.H.I.E.L.D. has always followed an elite path, and the black armor is even more crucial to her.

"Is there nothing else after that?"

The army general spoke with a smile.

After deciding not to spend a single penny, his mindset became much more peaceful.

No matter what excellent equipment Locke Technology may display in the future, it will not affect him.

A smile appeared on Nolan's lips.

"Of course."

But the Army General remained unmoved by Nolan Locke's smile, and simply said with a smile:

"That's really troublesome. The army has run out of funding, but perhaps the air force and navy still have some budget?"

He looked at the representatives of both sides.

Both of them twitched at the corners of their mouths, then turned around and briefly discussed it with their respective teams.

"Sorry, we don't have any budget left."

The vice admiral spoke directly.

Air Force Major General Rogge also shook his head.

They all have to leave some space for other weapons companies.

The expenses incurred by Locke Technology have far exceeded their calculations.

"Not urgent."

Nolan smiled but did not respond.

“We haven’t finished exploring the exhibition yet. Even if we don’t plan to buy anything, it’s still good to take a look.”

"of course."

Everyone nodded in agreement. The funds were already in place, and no matter what happened, they were not going to spend any money.

Then Nolan clapped his hands, and a curtain behind him opened.

There was a large object there that everyone felt very familiar with.

"tank?"

General Rogge's eyes held a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

"Yes."

Nolan nodded.

The army general then spoke:

"Is this the tank used in the previous war?"

As warfare has become increasingly modernized, especially with the emergence of various robots, the practicality of tanks has actually decreased significantly.

While it may not be completely replaced, it is, after all, a mobile fortress.

However, compared to various flexible intelligent combat robots and even humanoid mechs, tanks do have more limitations.

But this does not mean that tanks will disappear from the stage of history.

At least, they didn't think Lockheed Martin's tanks would do that.

Especially the tanks that appeared in the previous war.

Its vitality was terrifying to the extreme, and its range was powerful to the extreme.

Even now, they can never forget what they saw back then.

This is an absolute deterrent of firepower.

It is in no way inferior to the Titan mech.

While it certainly has many drawbacks, it is clear that the price of the Titan mech is simply not suitable for equipping the entire army.

However, tanks, being heavy armored vehicles, and Titan mechs have distinctly different roles.

Therefore, the price of a tank must be much, much lower than that of a Titan mech.

It is certain that we can equip the entire army with it.

For a large and bloated army, this is the most important weapon.

Even the reason why the army general left behind a large amount of funds was largely because he intended to purchase some advanced tanks from other companies.

As things stand, there is no substantial difference in the quality of tanks.

Even if Locke Technology's tanks are slightly better than others, they are only slightly better at best.

If it's the kind of tanks that were used in previous wars, then everything will have to be reshuffled.

Nolan nodded.

"Yes, that's it."

His voice wasn't loud, but everyone was utterly astonished.

They thought it was a laboratory-made weapon.

After all, Nolan Locke didn't deploy many of these tanks in the previous war.

Surprisingly, this is already a mature technology.

The army general, who had just decided that he would not spend a single penny on Lockheed Martin, immediately changed his mind:

"Tell me its price, and if the price is reasonable, it will be brand new immediately."

I guarantee that Locke Technology will make a fortune from this.

Yes, they do need to support other weapons companies.

However, other weapons companies also need to be capable. If the gap between the two sides is too large, then unless they are out of their minds, they would not choose Lockheed Martin instead of other companies.

After all, theirs is real performance!

War is fought with your life on the line, not like a game.

They cannot accept such a fatal gap.

Now, there's no need for other weapons companies to offer their products, because everyone knows that no other weapons company can match Lockheed Martin's tank.

There's nothing even comparable to it.

"Its price is 700 million."

Nolan provided his answer.

"700?"

The army general's eyes widened.

He thought that this big thing would cost at least tens of millions to get back.

The price of 700 million far exceeded his expectations.

After all, this behemoth's performance is so outstanding.

Nolan had a faint smile on his lips.

This price is indeed very low.

However, having already made a fortune in other areas, he didn't mind making a small profit on these tanks by adopting a strategy of low profit margins and high sales volume.

After all, he knew that if he didn't do this, these people would immediately turn their attention to other weapons companies.

Even a small mosquito is still meat. If we don't keep it at Locke Technology, are we going to leave it to someone else?

Moreover, this is not a small amount of money.

Its overwhelming performance gives this behemoth an unparalleled advantage. Replacing the entire army with it would require an astronomical sum. Moreover, if the US makes such a demand, what about other countries?

For other American-owned arms companies, it would be difficult to sell to other countries, but his situation is different.

Locke Technology's business has expanded worldwide; no country can refuse its weapons and other technological equipment.

Meanwhile, the White House was powerless to stop his actions.

Because everyone knows that its development has long exceeded the limits that a country can control.

This is why he dares to be so unscrupulous now.
