America 1919

Donnie's logistics company had trucks at the early stage, with people now being recruited by Kritch. The only remaining issue was the weapons!

Therefore, today, two guests arrived at Block Tavern.

"It has been said that over the past year, Atlantic City has undergone massive changes due to the emergence of Donnie Block, and my heart was somewhat puzzled by this matter. But when I actually came to Atlantic City, I found that such rumors were somewhat understated!"

Two middle-aged men were sitting in Donnie's office; one of them was named Ace Casas, who had just spoken those words. Besides that, this man held another title, the sales manager of Colt Company in the United States.

The man sitting next to him, who hadn't spoken, was named Shapiro Bent, who also had a title as the sales manager of the Springfield Armory in the United States.

Although in later generations, both Colt Company and Springfield Armory were acquired by other companies due to their respective management issues and lost their dominant positions in the American military industry because of the development of various heavy weapons.

But at that time, these two companies were still renowned in the American arms industry!

Colt Company was founded in 1836 by Samuel Colt, who rapidly expanded the company into a vast arms factory, thanks to his patents on revolvers.

There was a saying among Americans at that time, about Colt.

Lincoln gave all slaves freedom, while Colt gave them equality!

As for Springfield Armory, it was even older, established in 1794.

Unlike Colt's position in the handgun market, Springfield was more famous for its rifles.

Early bolt-action rifles M1903 and later semi-automatic rifles M1 Garand both made their mark in the history of weapons.

"If you like Atlantic City, you can stay here for a few more days. All your expenses in Atlantic City are on me!"

Donnie sat cross-legged on the couch with a smile on his face.

The previously silent Shapiro Bent said, "Mr. Block, let's talk business first. After receiving your call, our company sent me here right away, hoping to secure a good order from you, Mr. Block."

Ace Casas also nodded, "Indeed, the same goes for Colt Company. Moreover, before coming here, our general manager specifically told me that Mr. Block is a very esteemed client of our Colt Company!"

If this was two years ago, these two companies would definitely not speak so politely to Donnie.

The arms companies of this era were actually facing a very serious problem.

During World War I, to comply with the macro-control of the United States government, they fully cooperated with the American military's weapon manufacturing, working almost over capacity at that time.
Experience tales with empire

So back then, these American arms companies didn't have to worry about their sales at all.

The only concern was whether their production efficiency could keep up with the consumption at the front!

But with the war's end and the decommissioning of troops, these arms companies began facing their survival challenges.

The large number of workers, the multitude of machinery and equipment—without substantial orders, the more they produced, the more they lost.

This was also the reason why one of these companies was later acquired and the other went bankrupt.

When Donnie called their companies, they immediately conducted a background check on Donnie, which made it clear to them that a big business opportunity had come!

The initiator of the Family Alliance, although not a member, has undoubtedly a huge influence.

If they could establish a connection with the Family Alliance through Donnie, then in the future, the gangs across the United States could be using their products!

As for whether such sales would pose a problem?

If it makes money, who cares about those issues!

Donnie said, "Since you both wish to talk business first, that's fine by me. Here is my first order with your companies. If you have no objections, we can sign the formal contract today."

After speaking, Donnie handed over the orders to Ace Casas and Shapiro Bent.

Donnie noticed that when they saw the orders, both showed a hint of surprise on their faces.

Colt handguns, 300 of them, with 5,000 rounds of ammunition!

Browning Machine Gun Model 1917, 100 of them, with 20,000 rounds of ammunition!

That was the order for Colt Company.

The order for Springfield was:

Semi-automatic rifle M1 Garand, 500 of them, with 20,000 rounds of ammunition!

Although they had already expected Donnie's order to be significant, the size of the order from one individual still shocked them.

"Mr. Block, although we don't care about the destination of these weapons, I still can't help but ask, are you planning to launch a small-scale campaign in the United States?"

Ace Casas, holding the order in his hand, couldn't help but ask after glancing at Shapiro Bent's order.

"Exactly!" Shapiro Bent also couldn't help but say, "Mr. Block, your orders could equip a whole company!"

Donnie gave them both a reassuring look and said with a smile, "Rest assured, gentlemen, I'm buying these weapons just for self-defense. You may not be aware, but I'm currently setting up a motorcade, planning to do some transport business with the neighboring states.

But you also know the current domestic situation; I just want to make sure my cargo can safely reach the cities that need them, that's all!"
