American Fortune Life
Chapter 1606: Wealth and Boldness
Many believe that the United States has lost thousands of lives in Iraq, spending a lot of money, not getting an inch of land and not getting a barrel of oil.
However, it is well known that during Saddam's reign of Ilak, a great deal of wealth was accumulated, and even after the Iraqi-Iraq war, Ilak possessed a wealth of oil resources and data reality, and that Saddam himself accumulated a great deal of gold, valued at $40 billion.
But there has been no report of this tremendous wealth.
Whether it is because of the face of the United States, after all, as a world power, so blatantly attacking another country, but also robbing another country of its property, the barbaric acts of banditry are somewhat indescribable.
You know, when the United States forces seized large quantities of gold, antiques, etc. after they took Baghdad, they shipped all of that money to the United States military base in Kuwait.
By the end of the war, according to the United States military, the United States had returned the gold to Ilak. In other words, the United States military did not embezzle the gold. But for the US Army to say, whoever he meows believes, he's got a brain problem.
But then the Iraqis asked the question of gold, and the United States army said shamelessly, "I did not see Saddam's so-called gold”.
But the American army seized a great deal of Ilak gold, and where did the private property of Saddam go, in addition to the property of the Ilak government at the time?
Naturally, it goes without saying that everyone in this audience is a participant in this feast, including Andy Smith's grandfather, Old Smith.
After all, as the head of the Congressional Appropriations Committee, Old Smith was definitely a key figure in the pull, and how could a Party-led war in Ilak not have had that big man's share?
Everyone consciously wiped out that tremendous amount of wealth, and they easily wiped it out without the new government of Ilak being held accountable.
However, with the inauguration of the new President of the United States, the intensification of investigations into the problems of Ilak and the fraud triggered by reconstruction has led many to fear that the Donkey Party will play a role in expanding its investigations to reveal more secrets, which no one in vested interests would want to see.
So when Andy offered to hand over the evidence to the United States Special Inspectorate for the Reconstruction of Iraq, the big characters in the room were trampled on the tail, blown up, and stopped Andy's decision in a nearly ordered tone.
“It is untenable to be rich for the people of Ilak, who are in dire need of help. We will bring all the bastards involved in rebuilding corruption in Iraq to the stand! ”
Former United States Chief Civilian Administrator in Ilak, Braymour, looked angrily at the photographs of the officials in the pizza box filled with cash, showing the cold light and biting their teeth.
Andy's mouth was slightly upbeat and pale, but he couldn't help but laugh. Perhaps the first ‘Governor’ of Ilak was so angry that he thought it was because of the careless and evidentiary idiotic behaviour of the pigs. Andy didn't believe that Brammer, who had issued an order for criminal immunity for all U.S. military and civilian personnel in Iraq, including private security guards, just after the occupation of Ilak, would be indifferent to the people of Ilak!
“This is a case of corruption led by Whiteford, whose greedy faces are disgusting and must not go unpunished...” Admiral Tommy Franks was similarly gloomy looking at the photograph of Whiteford hiding behind 'Mount Gold' in his hand, and he really wanted to strangle this former man.
Several generals present angrily denounced the greed of the rats, while Old Smith remained the god with his eyes slightly squinted, as if the aroma of the cigar really drowned him asleep.
Former Defense Secretary Rumsfeld ignored the crowd's performance, but looked at Andy Smith with a faint smile, giving him a headache, while also greatly appreciating Andy's immobility, maturity and opportunity beyond his age.
A glimpse of Old Smith, Rumsfeld's emotion, turns out to be home schooling, a cunning old fox followers, another little fox!
Everyone here is not an idiot, and since Andy Smith threw out this evidence, naturally he knew he didn't want to lift the table, the next key was whether the conditions they put forward could impress this young, unorthodox little fox in front of him and finally make a deal.
Honestly, if it weren't for Old Smith sitting in town, no one would want to be a dead enemy to a political family like the Smiths, and Andy Smith, who controls powerful tools of public opinion, would be really tough to deal with, and he wouldn't be able to force the other.
Consistent with the integrity of the powerful figures present, we have long chosen to solve our problems by the most direct means. Where can we sit patiently here and play with a young man?
“Andy, I have to say, when I heard about your company's employees arming the third battalion, I was really shocked that Freedom Eagle Security didn't seem to be here long, was it? ”
By the time everyone's acting was almost done, the pavement was finished, and Rumsfeld looked daunted, laughing and Andy looking at the way he looked.
“Yes, initially a security company was set up just to facilitate the payroll of my security advisors. Later, after the retirement of some of my two security advisors' comrades, due to psychological problems, there was some maladaptation in the ordinary life of the country after their return, who were heroes of the country, so, at their suggestion, I expanded the business scope of the company to recruit them so that they could slowly adapt to the plain life of a safe society. ”
“Thank you, I thank you for the soldiers! ”
“Thank you, Andy... ”
Hearing Andy's words, the generals present changed slightly in colour and became serious and solemn, and a very serious tone thanked Andy.
Anyway, these generals have feelings for their own soldiers, but there are things that really can't be helped.
While Andy was known to set up the military contracting company to make money, everyone here knew that for soldiers who had experienced war and suffered from mental illness, it was probably the only job that was best suited to them, because they were no longer able to lead a normal life.
“In recent times, Freedom Eagle has been a hotshot, with the highest-ranked mission completion rate in both Iraq and Afghanistan, enviable logistics supplies and advanced weapons equipment armed to the teeth. Seriously, I don't see how Freedom Eagle is profitable. ”
“When I first started, I didn't think they'd make me money. Besides, even if they did, how much money would they make me? ”
Andy said with a careless tone, a careless look, and shook his head.
Wealthy!
Everyone in this room almost bled out, spitting in their hearts, but thinking about the legendary rise of this young man in front of them, they also let go. Indeed, in the face of this demonic speed of making money, the profit that squeezes the lives of soldiers, people really don't see it.
