American Fortune Life

Chapter 1607: Dirty Trading

The Pentagon has stated that private security companies are an integral part of the entire United States armed forces.

Hiring well-equipped, high-quality private security companies can solve many difficult problems for the United States Government, both by overcoming the shortage of troops in the United States and avoiding domestic political pressures caused by excessive casualties in the regular army, and by exempting the Government from solving aftermath problems such as compensation for casualties, which is simply the best backup and takeover man.

Critics point out more: “The benefits of private security companies are obvious, and with them, there will be no more coffins of dead American soldiers covered with stars and stripes in the evening television news”.

That is why former United States Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld here claims that "without them, it is almost impossible for the United States to successfully win any war. ”

However, in the face of Andy Smith, who was no better than money, I could not see the rich face and straightforward ‘big truth’ of the money earned by the military contract, and all present were unnaturally convulsed a few times in the corner of their mouths.

Maybe Andy Smith is telling the big truth, but in the hearts of this crowd, you will inevitably guess that the little fox in front of you is ready to push back and start with a big lion opening.

Now it looks like we're going to talk about terms and blocking this little fox's mouth, and I'm afraid the melon dates are not going to satisfy his appetite.

But at the right time, they still have enough chips in their hands. Besides, Andy Smith, as a smart man, will not really offend them to death. After all, it is not in the interest of the Smiths family to mess with the military. Old Fox Smith, sitting there playing dead, will never be allowed.

Rumsfeld and the shady current Defense Secretary Gates had an exchange of views, although they had already exchanged views before coming, but Gates, who had been a CIA director, was still a little upset, after all, that he was not caught up in the corrupt mud in Iraq.

However, Gates, who reached out to the Bush family, faced a spiral of control in Iraq, a steady deterioration in the war situation in Afghanistan, such as the massive failure of the party's midterm elections, political discord in the United States, and the emergence of a Secretary of Defense under the auspices of a small flying shoe in the broader context of the United States internal conflict, could be called in jeopardy.

It was mandated to reverse the seemingly uncontrolled security situation in Ilak and to repair the rift with the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Congress and to help restore the prestige of the United States military.

This incident, which he very much hopes to dig up the greedy rats within the United States military to clear up the problem of corruption within the United States military, however, with a single move, it cannot be investigated at all. That would really trigger a political earthquake in Washington, D.C. After all, the huge benefit cake from the two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq is rarely likely to be reached.

“Mr. Smith, I think you should have heard that due to Blackwater's shooting and killing of innocent civilians in Ilak, the contracts of the Ministry of Defence and Blackwater will no longer be renewed and new partners are being sought. In the face of the changing security situation, the safety of diplomats and personnel of government agencies around the world has become a major problem. Freedom Eagle, although a new company, is, as we understand it, the best of security companies, both personnel and equipment, and the Ministry of Defence has made it a priority cooperation option.

Starting this year, the cost of global diplomatic security services has been raised to $100 million annually for a five-year contract term. ”

When he heard a serious expression of Gates throwing a chip, Andy's eyes lit slightly, knowing that the play was coming, but for the business of 100 million a year, he wanted to blow him off. That was too much. It involved more than 100 billion dollars being squandered, an unaccounted for scandal, and direct evidence of a $50 billion embezzlement case, which was not enough for Andy to sew his teeth.

“ These $500 million government contracts do not include covert projects operated for US intelligence agencies or private companies and foreign governments, and commissions are added when there are other covert projects! ”

“Thank you very much for the confidence of the Ministry of Defence. In fact, Freedom Eagle Security, more focused than military contracted operations on training and logistics, has the most advanced and abundant weapons equipment and tactical training centres, including indoor, outdoor and urban simulation training areas, totalling more than 28 square kilometres across several Montana cities and counties. Having an experienced cadre of instructors, it's just a new company and a little less trained... ”

Andy smiled and thanked Gates, but he could see that Gates didn't seem to want to put up too much trading chips, so Andy wouldn't mind cutting meat himself!

Gates' face clearly twitched a few times, and after a moment of silence, he nodded helplessly in the blinking eyes: "The future training services of the Ministry of Defence, the State Department, the Department of Transportation, the police, and federal law enforcement can be contracted out to Freedom Eagle. ”

“By the way, Freedom Eagle has also established a new unit in recent months, Intelligence, headed by Coffrey Blake, formerly head of counter-terrorism at the CIA, and Joseph Schmitz, former Attorney General at the United States Department of Defense, wondering if Director Hayden has any future opportunities for cooperation?” Andy knew he couldn't squeeze any more oil out of the Department of Defense and it was hard to get these two major businesses, so he knew exactly what to do and turned his back on Michael Hayden, director of the CIA.

As a close friend of Ramsfield, the outgoing director of the CIA in two days, Michael Hayden, over the years, it's definitely quite high skinned. After all, Ilak and Ahfu Khan are everywhere with his people, not too much money!

He was leaving office in two days, and suddenly such eggs appeared, and important scandalous evidence fell into the hands of a hedgehog who couldn't do it. When he found out about the news, he almost didn't die of anger. To be honest, he really wanted to send someone to kill Colonel Whiteford in the first place, but reason told him that now that the investigation by the Donkey Party's inspectorate had eyebrows, he might have targeted Whiteford, killed him, set him on fire, let him come to the front desk as the end of this investigation.

Looking at Andy Smith smiling, Director Hayden muttered, "There's a real opportunity to work together and send someone to CIA headquarters tomorrow to protect the CIA's intelligence base in Afghanistan. After signing the contract, due to the continued deterioration of the war situation in Afghanistan and the urgent need to strengthen the security aspects, a one-time commission will be paid to the partners. I hope you enjoy your cooperation! ”

“Thank you for your attention and good cooperation.” Andy smiled satisfactorily, reached out and shook hands, and reached a consensus. Everyone here was also slightly stunned by Michael Hayden's decisive hand pen. It was the one who was going to leave. He was really spending money in a surprise. All right, anyway, the successor was from the Donkey Party. The one who cried was also from the Donkey Party. Just take care of the greedy little fox in front of him. Anyway, it wasn't personal money.

“By the way, I heard the CEO of the company say... ”

“Cough, well, now that we've all agreed, let's talk about a follow-up plan... ”

When Andy opened his mouth again, everyone was slightly discoloured. When the little fox's greed and appetite was a little twisted, Old Smith, who was always out of the sky, put the cigar in the ashtray, coughed twice, directly interrupted his grandson's greed, and the deal was over!

“Andy, you tell your employees to release them immediately. ”

“Well, I'm going to make a call.” Andy knew that the bamboo bars couldn't move, and he didn't have a problem with it. Instead, he immediately took out his phone and dialed it out, and with the money that Stoddell, who was already dead, had left for him to buy his life, Andy was full of money this time.

The dirty deal ended, and soon the gang came together to decide on the follow-up to this embezzlement case, which, as Michael Hayden thought, would be pushed to the front to disperse the donkey party's intransigence in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“Andy needs your people to push this thing forward and focus the investigators' attention on this murder...” Michael Hayden gave Andy a detailed account of the arrangements.

Well, being pushed to the stage is never a big fish, and the best interests are at the top, and Washington is never really going to hold it back.

Andy listened to the whole plan, and there was a feeling of being an accomplice, but he didn't exclude it. After all, a mutually beneficial thing can bring tremendous benefits to him. Why don't you do this?
