Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 722 Large-scale procurement of equipment

After Luo Sheng confirmed that the US$50 billion of funds had actually been controlled by Horizon Security, he immediately sent the latest instructions to Auguste Fran to convert the money into combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

As for sharing 600 million U.S. dollars in cash with local mercenaries, this is a trivial matter of small money.

"I don't know what it will eventually become like this, whether it is right or wrong." Qin Weimu suddenly said emotionally. After learning that Horizon Security was a dark game played by Luo Shengbu, she was deeply moved. .

Luo Sheng said in a deep voice: "If we were just a small company, there would be no such problems for small businesses. But the actual situation is that Blue Coast, Bluestar Technology, Blue Pure Electric Vehicles, and Shengfeng Capital, this year Not surprisingly, the total of these four organizations will exceed 1 trillion U.S. dollars. There are several other organizations such as Star Arrow International that have not yet exerted their efforts, and I am afraid that there will only be more in the future."

What is the concept of $1 trillion in annual revenue?If it is regarded as a country's GDP, it can be ranked 15th or 16th in the world among more than 200 countries, and it will continue to advance in the future.

Speaking of this, Luo Sheng added word by word: "We are now...rich, but not...strong enough. We are not strong enough to be rich and not strong. All our achievements today and everything vanish overnight. It can be subverted in between, and even the entire family cannot be preserved. As long as you think of my little princess, who is just over one year old, you must go on firmly and succeed."

Qin Weimu sighed leisurely and didn't say much. She also understood that the career has reached the scale of today. Now, I don't know how many people have offended, and I don't know how many people want Luo Sheng to evaporate instantly. Disappear in the world, divide up his achievements.

Behind is a cliff, there is only one way forward, no way out.

This is probably because people are in the arena and cannot help themselves.

In the end, Luo Sheng took her into his arms and said comfortably: "With me in front of you, the rain will not be able to get on you. Don't think about the ones that are not. It is better to discuss the integration. It’s true, it might make more sense."

Qin Weimu: "..."

...

Five Corners Building.

"This is a list of equipment purchase lists filed by Horizon International. They want to purchase 48 second-hand F-14 fighters, 33 brand new F-16 fighters, 5 C-130 transport aircraft, and 100,000 bee swarms. Man and machine; including some tanks and vehicles, light weapons, etc., with a total purchase of 19.9 billion US dollars."

After speaking, a high-level senator at the meeting put down the report in his hand, and then looked at the audience.

The submission of this purchase list by Horizon Security surprised the high-ranking leaders of the Wujiao Building. One participant said: "Horizon International wants to compete with Draken International?"

Draken International, a private military company founded in Lakeland, Florida, North America in 2012, founder Gary Isaacman, is currently the most powerful private air force in the world.

The company currently has 118 fighters. Most of these fighters are second-hand aircraft retired from the air forces of various countries. There are also new aircraft purchased from other defense companies. Their strength is stronger than the air forces of some medium-sized countries.

The average medium-sized country is not only inferior to Draken International in the number of fighters, but also far inferior to Draken International in terms of number of pilots.

And Draken International in Crane is just one of the private contractors of the North American Air Force. In addition, there are Air Tactical Superiority Corporation (ATAC) in Newport News, Blue Sky Training in Las Vegas, and Pennsylvania. Coastal Defense Company, Renault’s Tactical Air Support Company and Mesa’s Advanced Ace Company.

These are all private military companies and are of the same nature as Horizon Security. These military companies are very different from the traditional concept of mercenaries. Their customers may be national departments and their armies, or they may be international Organizations, commercial enterprises, etc. provide them with professional knowledge and skills in the military field and various military security services.

This is different from mercenary organizations. In addition to combat personnel, employees of private military companies also have various types of technical personnel, legal personnel, expert consultants, and even non-combatants such as research departments. The services they can provide far exceed traditional ones. The category of mercenaries.

Another participant at the scene pointed to the map and said: "If Horizon Security International has this equipment deployed in North Africa, it can almost go sideways. The military company focuses on the North African generation. If there is an emergency here in the future, we will completely You don’t have to do it yourself, and you can contract the war mission to the company and let them represent the war."

If you know that the behind-the-scenes owner of the Horizon Security Company is Luo Sheng, the gangsters in the Wujiao Building will not say that they have approved the sale of weapons.

Up to now, Laomei has always regarded Horizon Security as a person on his side, just like Draken International and Blackwater.

"This is also very good. The provincial government will ask Draken International to entrust it to act as an agent for a battle." Another participant said, apparently in favor of the purchase order declared by Horizon Security.

Draken International was active in the Middle East and once contracted the U.S. Corner Building’s $6 billion proxy war service.

Those defense trading companies in North America, such as Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Boeing, and Lyle Binary, have received purchase calls from the management of Horizon Security, and they are all now wailing.

The second-hand F-14 fighters cost about 30 million U.S. dollars, the F-16 fighters are cheap, and the new aircraft are also 20 million U.S. dollars. The C-130 transport aircraft that does not require much of the take-off runway is about 40 million U.S. dollars per unit, but it is the cheapest unit price. Swarm drones are the most expensive because they have the largest quantity and the willingness to purchase is as high as 100,000.

Especially the retired second-hand fighters are troublesome to deal with. There are too many aircraft cemeteries in the old United States. Why can someone buy them?

After deliberation and weighing, the Wujiao Building approved the purchase list of Horizon Security.

As for how the money came from Horizon, there is a lot of noise in the news now, of course I know.

But is that important?It doesn't matter at all.

No one cares. The major arms dealers in North America have made profits, and the Wujiao Building is also happy to see the deployment of a private military company in North Africa, which is equivalent to indirectly realizing the military presence of the magnesium army in the region. If there is an emergency that requires rapid intervention, it is sufficient to entrust it to the agency of Horizon Security. In addition to the matter, the private company can share most of the burden.

After approval, Horizon Security soon signed purchase orders with major North American military companies such as Lockheed Martin and Lyell Binary. This super-large order of nearly $20 billion is expected to be completed around 2021. Delivered and used, among which Lyle Binary Company will provide at least 40,000 swarm drones this year.

Before the equipment was delivered, Horizon Security did not wait. Air Force pilots had to start recruiting, including other combat employees, as well as recruiting more technicians, legal personnel, expert consultants, and so on.

All in all, Horizon Security is now starting to grow and develop with this huge amount of US$50 billion against international infamy. With the acquiescence of the United States, those infamy is not at all relevant.

Of course, the old United States will acquiesce. Horizon Security purchases all magnesium-type equipment, which means that the 50 billion US dollars will basically flow into North America in the end, and 70% of the shares of Horizon Security are "US-owned". .

In any case, the biggest winners are North America.

And Luo Sheng also took advantage of the trend to awaken all the sealed bionics and sent them out except for staying on the 18th.

This huge sum of US$50 billion allowed Horizon Security to usher in a real big development for the first time. The previous steady development was at best only a foothold in the field of private military companies.
