The Goddess Shines on America

　　 Reagan’s proposal is not a trivial matter, so Alice did not zealously agree. Of course, there is not much she can verbally agree to at the moment, everything needs to be considered in the long term.

　　 So the next day, it was still the president’s oval meeting room. Reagan, Alice, George H-Bush and then Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberg gathered here.

　　 "I have to declare one thing first, that is, I don't have enough funds now."

　　 Alice said: "If time is really tight, you can choose to support other forces. In my case, although the training base has been established, there is still a lot of other work to do."

　　 While talking about these, Alice was also betting. Since Reagan would make this suggestion to himself, it must be based on two circumstances.

　　The first is that he has fully investigated himself and thinks it is appropriate, and it is more suitable for other security companies of different sizes throughout the country. Second, the time is indeed not in a hurry, even if Blackwater International is not fully prepared yet.

　　Because the government’s current goal is to prompt Iran to surrender quickly. As for the establishment of Blackwater International as a government supplier, it is a long-term plan.

　　 To put it bluntly, if it is really necessary, the Pentagon can even send troops directly to the Iran-Iraq battlefield. Once captured, they will directly call Heishui people, even if they have not signed a contract with the company at all.

So just as Alice thought, Secretary of Defense Weinberg laughed and said: "Don’t worry, Alice, our budget for the past two years is pretty sufficient. If you are short of money, we will provide you with various names. Funds. However, whether it is nominal or amount, it must be reasonable."

　　 Alice deeply agrees with this. The government spends money with the approval of Congress, and every item will be recorded. Directly throwing the money from the public to a private company is definitely the most deadly act.

　　 "Well, maybe we can do that."

　　 So immediately, Alice's joke came: "Blackwater International purchased millet and rice from the USDA at the price of millet and rice. What do you think?"

　　 said this on her mouth, and she made two gestures on her hand, which were clearly the current gold and silver prices.

The three adult men in the house looked at each other. In the end, Bush couldn’t help but laughed: “Buy gold and silver at the price of rice and millet? Good guy, where did you get your idea from? Hey Ronald, you Did you hear that? Maybe someone in the government is doing this!"

　　 "The Kuomintang in the 1930s and 1940s was so corrupt."

Alice explained it indifferently, and immediately changed the subject: "I believe you have investigated me a lot, otherwise you will definitely not put such important things on me. But Mr. President, I can ask. Why? Do you see those shining spots on me?"

　　 Although the answer can be guessed temporarily.

Sure enough, Reagan said it right away, and the answer was obviously prepared long ago: "Of course it is age, little Alice. Although there are many more powerful forces than you for the government, of course we have always been with you. They have a lot of cooperation, but you are a newcomer after all. Whether it is Wall Street, oil consortium, or arms dealer, you have no foundation, that is, you just have a few companies in Silicon Valley."

　　 "You are only fifteen years old now, but what you have accomplished... Honestly, you are better than Rockefeller of the same age."

This sentence caused everyone's chuckles, and Reagan went on to say: "Age, coupled with ability, coupled with not deep foundation, we have no reason not to cooperate with you, not to support you properly, no ?"

Having said this, he sighed slightly, slowed down his speech, and said earnestly: "The United States is a very tolerant country. Although you are of Chinese descent, you were born and raised in this country. I believe you have a deep understanding of this."

"I admit that our country still has a lot of problems with ethnic issues. Those old chaebols riding the legacy of the Mayflower can't easily accommodate outsiders. But Alice, your current talents will definitely Let everyone be incomparable to look at them, those factors that can hinder the development of most people

The impact on you is very limited. "

　　 When Reagan finished these words, the room was a little too quiet.

　　 Because these words are a little too amazing.

　　 Alice immediately figured out the reason for what he said, probably because of her young age, and wanted to use this emotional card to make herself trust the government. Okay, the idea was good, and Reagan's analysis was so good, and it even took her to the sky. Since the president herself is so enthusiastic and reasonable, it is hard for her to refuse.

　　 The situation after that is very simple. In order to speed up the construction of Blackwater International, the Ministry of Defense will provide Alice with a full 300 million U.S. dollars in funding.

　　 Three hundred million!

　　 Of course, the White House will not make money-losing transactions. Of course, there is no doubt about this.

　　 The Iran-Iraq War is a special war. It is a veritable "marathon" war of attrition. It is a war in which the gains outweigh the gains for both sides and there is no victor. At the same time, it has been commented by the world military circles as the most typical example of "advanced weapons fighting low-level warfare". The boasting world military power has used all advanced weapons except atomic bombs, including chemical weapons, such as f14, f4, phantom fighters, The Scud missiles took turns in battle, making Iraq alone bear a full US$40 billion in arms debt, not to mention Iran?

　　The arms dealers are indeed making huge profits, but at the same time, because of the near stagnation of oil production, the continuous high production of non-opec member countries and the Soviet oil fields has seriously affected the interests of American oil tycoons.

　　Each day when the war ends, global oil prices will return to normal a day earlier. Compared with the tens of billions of funds, the three hundred million sent to Alice is really nothing.

　　 Besides, this was originally a long-term investment by the Ministry of Defense in her.

　　The meeting in the Oval Office soon ended, and Alice rarely enjoyed a luncheon cooked by a White House chef. After that, saying goodbye to the enthusiastic President Reagan, Alice once again boarded the special car of Vice President Bush Sr. and drove towards his mansion.

　　 "Old man, tell me honestly."

　　 On the back seat, Alice hiccuped and slapped her belly with satisfaction, while saying to Bush, "Let me invest 5 million in your son. Is this also because of this?"

　　 "Well...Well, of such a big thing, of course I will know in advance."

Bush happily said: "Don't forget, let the government agencies in so many eastern states adopt Cisco products. Since I promoted it, how can Ronald know the truth? In the past few months, you But it has always been the little celebrity that the head of the Ministry of National Defense talked about!"

　　 Alice's mouth twitched: "The Iran-Iraq War... after all, they were really speechless."

These remarks caught the attention of the elder Bush. When the car had just passed a corner, he asked with great interest: "The Iran-Iraq War has been fought for seven years. You should have already had a lot of opinions, right? Let's listen. listen?"

　　 Well, this is another time to prove your talent.

Alice rolled her eyes and said without hesitation: "First of all, this war has proved a truth, that is, a huge sum of money can buy modern weapons and equipment, but can not buy the modern level of the army, the introduction of foreign advanced weapons and equipment must be Integrate with the actual situation of the country. The two countries have a weak industrial base and are unable to repair many advanced weapons and spare parts. The ammunition is mainly supplied by foreign countries. Moreover, their soldiers have a low level of education, and they must master some advanced surface-to-air missiles or postures. Advanced weapons such as the MiG-23 fighter are quite difficult."

"Second, it is obvious that the local war under modern conditions should emphasize quick combat and quick resolution, but at the same time there should be preparations for long-term combat, and both must be combined. In the early days of the war, Iraq’s lightning operations were very good. . But it puts the war bet completely on this point and lacks ideological and material preparations for long-term battles. Therefore, once a quick fight attempt is crushed by the opponent, it will be miserable."

"Third~www.readwn.com~In modern local wars, the main goal should still be to wipe out the enemy’s viable power, instead of being overly entangled in the gains and losses of one city and one place. In this war, almost all battles are involved. It is an offensive and defensive battle aimed at cities, villages and towns. Both sides are satisfied with the superficial victory of siege and plunder, ignoring a large number of effective forces to annihilate the enemy.

the amount. This is the direct reason that caused this war to last so long. "

"Furthermore, in modern local wars, weapons, equipment and materials are at a loss, which poses new issues for logistical supplies. Although the Iran-Iraq War cannot be called a high-level modern war, the cost of the war has been local since World War II. It is unique in the history of war. For example, at the beginning of the war, Iraq fired tens of thousands of shells on a small town like Schillingburg. Moreover, their army was mainly mechanized, but the supply of fuel was terrible. , So that the pace of all battles is terribly slow, and time is naturally prolonged."

After uttering such a long story almost without thinking, Alice curled her lips fiercely and said disdainfully: "Look, even if this war can end next year, these two countries are already too miserable. It’s horrible. With so many people dead, spending so much money, and stopping development for so many years, it is estimated that after the fight is over, they will be able to maintain the life of the 1960s.

　　 After saying these words, Alice seemed to have expressed all her opinions, and immediately picked up a bottle of mineral water and began to grumble.

　　 However, Bush, who suddenly heard such a long list of incisive analysis, was almost aphasia. (To be continued.)
