Chapter 219 New Movie·Call from Iraq

Calling his secretary to come in, Murdoch ordered in a gloomy voice: "Intensify the information collection on Sean and his affiliated companies, and make it more secretive and explosive."

"Okay." The secretary nodded.

"In addition, increase the intensity of negative news reporting on Sean's company." Murdoch thought for a while and continued: "Environmental issues and criminal cases in New Jersey must also increase reporting intensity."

"By the way, there are also those prisons he bought. Hehe, don't tell me that he did it for charity and to treat criminals well. Only a fool would believe it." Murdoch sneered again and again, "Collect more intelligence and increase the intensity of repayment.

, you can always find the problem.”

"Let the people below be more attentive and interview those politicians, especially those who have conflicts with Sean, companies, whatever they want to do, I want to see the news."

"Okay, boss." The secretary continued to nod.

"Oh, by the way." Murdoch remembered something again, "That bullshit security company invaded Colombia, manipulated local politics, massacred, and illegally occupied Colombian state-owned assets. It was simply an act of banditry."

“The life of the local people in Colombia is so miserable!”

"The country will be destroyed and the country will be in dire straits!"

The mouth of the media...

As for the facts, does it matter?

It doesn't matter!

It didn't matter what the people of Cartagena thought, they couldn't make a sound.

…

Norris may not be good at business, but when it comes to thinking about people's hearts, Norris is really good at it.

Sean asked him to bring old Spock over to read the script, but this guy took his time in bringing it over in the afternoon.

As soon as I entered the door, I happened to see Sean lying on the sofa, holding two women on the left and right. Diane was reading the newspaper to Sean, and Elizabeth Hurley was feeding Sean fruit.

As soon as they saw Norris coming with someone, the two women quickly jumped up from Sean. Elizabeth nodded slightly to Norris. It was Norris who sent her to Sean's bed. This was a relationship.

.

Diane glared at Norris fiercely, and Norris could only pretend not to see it, coughing slightly, "Boss, Mr. Leonard Nimoy is here."

Only then did the two women see that there was another person following Norris. They immediately blushed and turned around and walked upstairs.

Although it is common for female stars to climb into the bed of their bosses in Hollywood, the conversation between the two women is still very topical...

Leonard Nimoy was wearing a dark suit and a smile on his face, but he looked a little ferocious.

Sean stood up, shook hands with Leonard Nimoy, asked the servant to serve coffee, and exchanged some pleasantries before getting down to business.

Leonard Nimoy took out the script and handed it to Sean, who quickly read through it.

The story takes place in a high-end apartment in Manhattan. Three men who work in different jobs, but are all romantic, pick up a newborn baby at the door. The three of them have to deal with various celebrities and take care of the baby.

Baby, a ridiculous story happened during this period.

The whole story highlights the strong contrast between the romantic scumbag and the dad who loves his daughter. There are constant conflicts and many funny scenes.

Sean closed the script and couldn't help but look at Leonard Nimoy up and down. It was hard to imagine that such a person would write something with such "love", "Do you have a daughter?"

"Yes, I have been married for 28 years and my daughter is very cute." Leonard Nimoy said with a smile.

"What's your budget for this show?" Sean asked casually.

"My budget is 5 million."

Sean raised his eyebrows and said something like a lion. This story is all supported by the plot, and the location is very simple. It doesn't cost much at all. From Sean's point of view, 3 million can definitely be done.

"The main thing is that we need to buy the adaptation rights of "Three Men and a Cradle" first." Leonard Nimoy spread his hands in embarrassment.

"Ah!?" Sean was stunned.

"I know, last year's movie seems to be from France. This movie is quite interesting." Norris suddenly realized.

"Yes, great, they have decided to participate in this year's Oscars, competing for the best foreign language film, and the director is Corinna Cerro." Leonard Nimoy explained.

"Potentially the best foreign language film..." Sean touched his chin, and he remembered something after mentioning it like this.

He remembered that later Jackie Chan also filmed a story about three men and a child, with a similar plot. He forgot the name, but it seemed to be quite popular in Asia.

Later, the three brothers also remade it.

"Did you bring the video tape?" Sean asked aloud.

"Bring it." Leonard Nimoy nodded and took out two video tapes from his briefcase. Norris took them intuitively and put them in the video recorder.

As the credits played, Sean thought for a moment and shouted loudly: "Diane, Elizabeth, come down and watch the movie!"

After shouting, Sean ignored them. Ten minutes later, the two women arrived belatedly. Sean glanced at them and said, "Good guys, they are indeed women. They don't forget to put on makeup at home."

The two women and Leonard Nimoy smiled and nodded. Although they couldn't figure out what Sean meant, they still sat quietly watching the movie.

At one and a half hours, the feeling about Sean is that it is warm, romantic, loving, and there are some funny things, but it is more humorous. I can only say that she is worthy of being a female director.

After watching the movie, the sense of familiarity made Sean even more certain that Jackie Chan later remade it and filmed it with Principal Gu.

"Mr. Shawn, what do you think?" After the movie was shown, Leonard Nimoy asked Shawn as he thought about it.

"The cultures are different. The French are romantic and undisciplined, but Americans are more free and open. While the warmth should be retained, the comedy element should be increased." Sean commented.

"Mr. Sean, you are right, that's what I think!" Leonard Nimoy looked a little excited. Sean said this, which means he is ready to invest.

"Since it's a remake, why not buy the copyright directly? Is there any problem?" Sean turned to look at Norris.

"Of course, of course no problem!" Norris assured, patting his chest.

"Director Leonard, I will not be involved in the casting of the male protagonist. This movie is left to you, and you will be fully responsible for it. But the female character in it..."

Norris immediately made an introduction in Leonard Nimoy's ear.

"If Miss Diane Lane and Miss Elizabeth Hurley are available, it would be my luck. Their youthful beauty is God's masterpiece and will definitely add a lot of color to this drama." Leonard

Nimoy said with a smile.

Diane Lane smiled reservedly, while Elizabeth was completely stunned, looking at Sean blankly.

I’ve just climbed onto the boss’s bed and the character has arrived!?

What's the fucking surprise?

Sean smiled and nodded to the two women. With Diane Lane's current reputation in Hollywood, she would disdain such small productions. Unless it was a literary film, hiring her would cost a lot of money.

This was Sean's compensation to her. After all, from beginning to end, Sean never publicly admitted that Diane was his girlfriend.

Diane's salary for the first "Bank Robbery" was only 100,000, and Sean gave her 1 million for the second "Die Hard". The 1970s and 1980s were the lowest period for Hollywood actresses' salary, 100,000.

RMB 10,000 is already the price of an A-list actress.

Barbra Streisand, with the movie "Funny Girl", became the only Oscar-winning actress with double yolk eggs in Oscar history, tied with Hepburn. Her box office appeal was one of the best in that era, and she won all three awards in film, television, and singing.

The most notable achievement was that he only received a salary of US$6.5 million in 1991.

For this movie, Sean will give her 1.5 million. The four beauties are still so sensible. Ahem, right, they deserve a reward.

As for Elizabeth, after all, Sean had just taken the body of a little girl, so of course he had to show it, and the pay would be normal.

The little girl has never played any role before, she is a pure newcomer, and she has no idea where the beast Norris came from.

Really are……

marvelous!

"Our beautiful Miss Diane is already a first-line actress, but Elizabeth has just made her debut, so I would like to ask Director Leonard to teach her more. I also hope that Elizabeth can have a good start in the future." Sean stood up and said

He smiled and shook hands with Leonard.

"Of course, of course, don't worry, Mr. Sean." Leonard said with a smile.

"Oh, by the way." Sean suddenly remembered something, blinked and said, "Leonard, you can communicate with Katzenberg first."

"Ah!?" Leonard was a little dumbfounded. If it weren't for Sean blinking at him, he would have thought he heard wrong.

Katzenberg, isn't that a senior executive at Paramount?

Leonard has been working with Paramount for more than 20 years. He is considered to be a majority of Paramount people, so how could he not know him?

But, seeing what it means now... Leonard shook his head, what the hell is wrong with Paramount?

Senior executives suddenly jumped ship!

With a mixture of joy and mixed feelings, Leonard left.

Elizabeth, whose face was flushed with excitement and trembling all over, jumped on Sean and sang and screamed.

Sure enough, if you want to get a higher position, sleep with your boss first, as the ancients said.

Elizabeth has decided that she must use more gestures to repay her boss!

Diane Lane rolled her eyes and pouted, you little bitch.

But thinking of that bitch named Sharon Stone, Diane decided to endure it. In order to tie Sean's heart, she could only choose to recruit a few allies to form an Allied front!

…

Sean's mission to come to Los Angeles to find a captain for the media group he was about to establish was basically completed.

There's not much left for Sean to worry about, the main thing is paying for it.

Fortunately, due to the military exercise, the business in the trading area in Cartagena has been on the right track recently. The US$45 million that was kept in the box there was finally successfully transferred, and all of it flowed into the hands of the Colombian anti-government armed forces in a short period of time.

.

After some operations, these 45 million were deposited in batches by several people to the branch of Sean Bank in Cartagena.

As for the question of whether the source of funds is legal, Cartagena officials are from their own family and will naturally not say anything.

Afterwards, Sean used a helicopter to transport the money into the United States, which was considered a blood gain.

However, as soon as the blood returned, he was immediately arranged to go out.

20 million will be transferred to Sean Film Company as a support for Katzenberg. At the same time, he will also shoot "Goodfellas", purchase the copyright, and shoot "Three Dads and a Baby". In addition, he will build his own studio.

It also costs money.

Sean came to Katzenberg to discuss that this time he would build all the scenes for "Goodfellas" and "Three Dads and a Baby" by himself and no longer rent Universal's studios.

Although this will increase the cost a lot, these villas, bars and other scenes can be used to shoot other movies in the future.

This is how the filming studio was built bit by bit.

As for the address, Sean didn’t choose Hollywood, let alone Los Angeles.

I remember that when "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​was filmed, more than 30 million was spent to build a New York that was more than 50 years ago.

This 20 million...well, it will be enough to start the business.

The reason is, no money!

In fact, only Paramount and Universal stayed in Hollywood. Universal went to Burbank, and Columbia went to Carver City.

Sean ultimately chose Santa Monica.

This is not yet the future, and Sean plans to enclose hundreds of thousands of square meters of land first.

This thing will be worth a lot of money even if it only sells the land later!

The last 25 million was allocated to Pete Cherney as the starting capital for the establishment of the "American Media" group.

Well, that is, the start-up capital, this amount of money is just drizzle, not enough at all.

But to acquire six TV stations, Sean always has to set up the airs first!

American Media Group, Sean is not going to name it after himself this time.

It can only be said that at different times, people stand at different heights, and their perspective on problems will inevitably change.

In the past, I used my own name because I wanted to improve my visibility and image, which was a way to show my strength and the only way to establish my status.

It's like the early Rockefeller Oil Company.

But now, Sean no longer needs to use his company and industry to set himself off, and he has begun to realize that he will be a big success.

Therefore, ‘X Security’ was renamed ‘Umbrella’, hence ‘American Media’.

Well, now Sean is ready to play the American card, pull the tiger's skin, and be a big flag!

All the 45 million was arranged, and Sean suddenly felt like he would be happy if his wealth was gone.

Pleasure.

As for the large thermal power station in Cartagena, the garbage disposal business in New York, the supermarket chain business, the logistics center business, the purchase and construction of private estates, the Caribbean military base, the palace in the sky...

I love you so much, Ma Dan, I have no money!

Anyway, he still didn't think of any legal means of making money for a while.

As for the so-called ways to make money quickly, they are written in the criminal law, Sean used to think so, but now...

Robbery, extortion, extortion, kidnapping, drug abuse... those are still too slow!

The last time I spent a month at sea, I only paid over 15 million, which was not exciting at all!

Of course, it doesn't matter how anxious Sean is.

The worst that can happen is that the mortgage industry will continue to take out loans.

Sean has never done anything about snakes swallowing whales, but he has seen a lot.

At that time, the Red Army Liverpool was acquired by two American businessmen with nothing, and they successfully acquired it without spending a penny. The method was later exposed, and Sean remembered it clearly.

To put it simply, it is a gambling agreement.

Sign a gambling agreement with the bank, use the bank's money to purchase it, then mortgage the entire property to the bank, and then pay it back slowly.

Sean doesn't want to have too many high-quality assets, and the bank is not afraid that he can't repay them.

As for whether Monroe Deaver, the banker who manages Sean's assets, will go crazy, Sean can't control that much.

Sean was lying on the deck chair in the garden. Next to him, Diane Lane peeled grapes and fed them to Sean one by one.

Next to him, Martin Scorsese was holding the script of "Goodfellas" in his hand, telling Sean his idea for the entire movie.

Martin Scorsese was born in New York in 1942. He personally experienced the most glorious era of the "Five Families". After becoming a director, he was very keen on shooting this kind of "gangster theme".

In 1972, he directed "Mean Streets", starring Robert De Niro, which showed the difficult life of Charlie, a descendant of Italian immigrants, in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York, and the story of how to escape poverty and anxiety. It is a classic among gangster movies.

In 1976, "Taxi Driver" was filmed again, still in New York. After the Vietnam War, the whole United States was embarrassed and confused, and the economy was in recession. A taxi driver drove a taxi every day and witnessed the degradation of New York. In the end, it was dramatic.

The story of becoming a public hero.

The film won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes International Film Festival.

Oh yes, the starring role is still Robert De Niro.

Later, in 1980, "Raging Bull" was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director.

Last year, in 1985, the black comedy "After Hours" won the Best Director Award at the 39th Cannes International Film Festival.

The ironclad Robert De Niro, the flowing heroine.

Like the love story between Feng Xiaogang and Uncle Ge.

"It's very good. It's very artistic. It's like a slowly unfolding picture scroll, showing the chaotic life in New York in the 1950s." Sean smiled and praised, waving his arms as if it were real, but Diane Lane next to her

Well, I'm sure that the man around me is lying again.

It's like...the last time.

"I'm glad you can say that. I'm very satisfied with this script. I feel like it was tailor-made for me." Martin Scorsese had a smile on his face. When he saw Sean, he felt very happy.

close.

Maybe it’s a matter of experience...

"But, I have some other ideas." Sean said softly.

"You said, you are...well, you know this." Martin Scorsese almost blurted out, you are the Mafia, you are right.

Sean has also written four scripts, and has participated in filming, editing, etc. Now he is no longer just talking on paper. Based on the plots he has seen in his previous life, he is also half of it.

Brick house.

It's definitely not possible to do it yourself, and it's okay to point fingers.

"In this world, the cultural level of the vast majority of the audience is indeed limited, especially those who watch this kind of gangster movie. 99.99% of them have poor voices. What I want to say is that they have no artistic talent and absolutely cannot understand the picture.

"

"It's okay to show it to the judges, but it's to the people living at the bottom." Sean shook his head, high-pitched.

Martin Scorsese opened his mouth, and after a while, he had to nod in agreement with Sean's statement.

Artists inevitably suffer from literary youth syndrome.

(Even if 40 years later I'm like me...)

But in front of investors, he can't say, I make movies just to win awards, and let the box office go to hell!

You bloody vampire, you ruined art!

Deng Guangrong cursed and quit the chat group.

If Martin dared to say that, Sean would dare to hang the old man up and beat him.

The movie "Goodfellas" does have some problems at the beginning. The narrative is too long and not exciting enough.

"In the front, before the protagonist Henry goes to jail, this section should fully demonstrate the 'freedom' and 'wantonness' of a gangster, his wish to have his things come true, his domineering behavior, and his brotherly loyalty."

"If it weren't for these, not so many young people would be attracted to gang life. It is precisely because it is passionate and exciting that generations of young people will be involved in it."

"In this way, when the protagonist goes to jail and his wife tells him that the gang has not taken care of his family as agreed, there will be enough conflict and contrast."

"In this way, it lays the groundwork for the subsequent series of darkening of the protagonist, and ultimately shows that the gangsters, with one foot in the coffin and one foot in prison, will not end well."

"This is more real and more exciting, what do you think, Director Martin?" Sean opened his mouth and ate the grape that was handed to him in one gulp. At the same time, he sucked Diane Lane's finger hard and made a "wave" sound.

Martin had a weird expression and was having a hard time enduring it.

One foot in the coffin and one foot in the prison?

Can you fucking look at yourself before you say this!?

Be a human being!

you liar!

Oh, by the way, life in prison is better than life outside now...

"Perhaps there is a certain difference between your experience and the real situation. After all, director, you have not really joined the mafia." Sean smiled strangely, "How about I arrange for you to experience it? You are only 44 years old, and you are still in the mafia."

You are very young, why not give yourself a chance."

"Ah, this..." Reason told Martin that this is not good!

But, for some reason, Martin nodded and agreed.

When leaving Sean's villa, Martin was in a daze. Why did he, a great director, agree to become a mafia?

Have you booked your flight tickets yet?

Damn it, it must be magic!

"Oh my god, dear, you won't completely destroy a great director, right?" Diane Lane looked at Martin's back, her face full of worry and helplessness.

The mouths of the men around me... no matter men or women, they all lie.

Cheating someone to death will not pay for your life!

"Why not open up a new world for him?" Sean spread his hands, "In this society, where there is sunshine, there is darkness, but the underworld is also a society."

"You don't simply think that the mafia is really bad, do you?"

"Ah, isn't it?" Diane looked at Sean confused.

"Of course not. How can a purely bad existence still be full of vitality after thousands of years?" At this moment, Sean was like a philosopher.

"Then I don't know, but..." Diane Lane gently traced her fingers on Sean's chest, and slowly lowered her head, "Then let me know if you are bad."

()╰ひ╯

"hiss……"

…

"Ring ring ring..."

The big brother next to him shouted tirelessly. Sean closed his eyes and grabbed it, "Hey...who!"

"Sean, it's me, Bill." Bill didn't hear anything wrong with Sean's voice, and he was a little excited. "Sean, I just received a call, and I think I need to tell you."

"Ah, like this, you say." Sean took a deep breath, put one hand on Diane's head to keep her from stopping, and said into the phone.

"The Umbrella team just received a call from abroad. The call was from Iraq."

Sean:???

"They want to inquire whether our umbrella can accept missions against other countries' military targets."

"No, just wait a moment!" Sean was shocked by the news.

Hearing this, Diane Lane raised her head and suddenly left the warm and humid cave, ╰ひ╯ jumped.

"I'm not talking about you, keep going!" Sean quickly pushed Diane back.

Bill:(O_o)??

What the hell are you doing!

"A call from Iraq?"

"Yes, I asked Armstrong to check. The call came from Iraq."

"Ha, no, what do they want to do? Return other countries' military targets. These guys don't want to hire us to fight Iran, right?" Sean found it incredible, but he really couldn't imagine any other possibilities.

The Iran-Iraq War, between Iraq and Iran, lasted from 1980 to 1988, a full eight years.

In the end, the rabbit won!

Yes, the rabbit won a big victory and won a lot of money.

"Who knows, that person just asked. I said I wanted to ask the boss, but he hung up and said I would contact him tomorrow." Bill said with a smile, "But I think it's about the same."

"Hi, ah!!" Sean breathed out.

Bill: "Shit, what the hell are you doing?"

"I'm doing something happy." Sean laughed and straightened his body. "If he calls again, tell him that we are a commercial company and do not represent any party or have any political stance. We only accept commercial orders.

Only do business matters."

"hiss……"

"Tell him money has nothing to do with politics!"

"As long as it doesn't violate American laws!"

"In this world, only money has no borders!"

"Fuck!" Bill waved his hand excitedly.

Sean looked down at Diane who was working hard, "Yes, Fuck!"

After hanging up the phone, Sean turned over and sat up, picked up Diane Lane, and gave Diane Lane a rough shove...

"ah!!"

The call from Iraq gave Sean the smell of money!

This made Sean extremely excited. Sure enough, a handsome man like Mr. Reader would have good luck.

It didn't take long for Diane Lane to beg for mercy...

…

Originally, Sean thought it would take many days before there would be any news, after all, it was at the national level, but it was unexpected.

The next day, Bill received a call and he conveyed Sean's meaning exactly. The other party quickly understood and expressed satisfaction.

Sean was very happy to receive the news and wanted to return to Newark as soon as possible.

Diane Lane was extremely clingy and followed her directly to Newark.

Elizabeth, on the other hand, will be appearing on the big screen for the first time soon, so she has been immersed in the acting tutoring classes arranged for her by the company recently.

The multi-player sport ended suddenly, which made Sean feel a little regretful.

Fortunately, with people like Norris around me, this kind of thing is not urgent, and there will be a chance sooner or later.

The next day, Sean arrived in Newark. When he got off the plane, he saw Bill and his party driving over.

Diane stood on tiptoes and gave Sean a gentle (づ￣3￣)づ╭~ mouth, and consciously got into another car. Sean and Bill were sitting in the same car.

"Sean, I have two pieces of news here." Bill smiled and showed two fingers.

"One piece of good news and one piece of bad news. Okay, let's talk about the bad news first." Sean said with a smile.

"Wrong!" Bill laughed and said, "Two pieces of news, the first is good news, and the other is also good news."

Sean:???

Sean reached out and grabbed Bill's face and pulled it, "Kangkang, are you a Lu Shuren?"

Bill looked confused.

After laughing for a while, Bill got down to business, two pieces of good news.

First, the Iraqi side left an encrypted satellite phone number for Bill to facilitate contact.

This one was not what Sean expected, but the second one was a bit surprising.

"Brewster Jesse is dead." Speaking of the dead man, Bill had a smile on his face.

"Really!" Sean said with surprise on his face!

"Yes, he died in the hospital. He had cancer and organ failure. There was nothing he could do. The hospital determined that he would definitely not be able to get off the operating table."

"Oh, it's really, what a pity!" Sean laughed, "By the way, no problem was found during the examination, right?"

Such a big shot needs to undergo a physical examination every year. Of course, it is a routine physical examination. A comprehensive, targeted and detailed examination from the brain to the organs is rarely done.

It's not money, it's trouble.

Therefore, if the body suddenly deteriorates beyond control, it is too sudden and will definitely attract attention.

"The information we have so far, the hospital has concluded that Brewster Jesse was exposed to long-term exposure to radioactive sources, leading to accelerated organ failure."

Bill also looked serious, "The FBI has taken over and started investigating. We don't know the specific situation yet, but there should be no problem. He bought the porcelain himself, and it has nothing to do with us in any aspect of the investigation."

"Where is the person who sold Brewster the things?" Sean asked with a frown. This is the only loophole. If long-term exposure will cause lesions, then the previous owner will not be fine at all.

"Dead." Bill shrugged, "You ordered me to find someone who already had cancer. That guy took the money and had fun for a while, but he died after not lasting long."

"He died in the hospital due to drug overdose. The hospital has detailed medical records and death reports."

"The body was cremated and the ashes have been scattered."

Well, Sean nodded, and he felt relieved that there was no longer any flaw.

Those who give themselves headaches must have no headaches at all!

That's how you must retaliate, no matter how much you love.

After returning to Newark, Sean did not rush to contact Iraq immediately.

That's not how business works, and being too eager is not a good thing.

Sean held a meeting at the Newark base the next day and invited Advisor Layton Stevens (former Guantánamo Administrator), Captain Robert A. Owens, and Army Colonel Dennis Abbott.

There is also Armstrong who is in charge of intelligence work.

Sean told the story about the proactive contact from Iraq. After discussion, everyone agreed that it should be aimed at Iran and not run away.

"There is no problem with Iran." Leighton Steven thought for a while and said: "Before 1979, we supported the Pahlavi Dynasty of Iran in order to surround the Soviets on the southern front and control the Persian Gulf. However, in 1979

In 2006, the Green Revolution broke out in Iran, and Khomeini returned to Iran to overthrow the Pahlavi dynasty. He held high the banner of anti-Americanism and received support from the Soviet Union."

"Then, with our support, the Iran-Iraq war broke out, and in 1980, Iraq began to invade Iran."

"Well, it's good. We can sell a lot of squeezed weapons and the military will make a fortune." Sean said with a smile.

"You can't say that. When the military department has money, it also needs to replace it with new equipment." Leighton Steven blinked, and everyone laughed.

"Of course, this is a joke. In fact, the situation of the Iran-Iraq War is very complicated. Iraq and Iran are the two major military powers in the Middle East. There are territorial disputes, religious disputes between Sunnis and Shiites, etc. The situation is very complicated.

Of course, this is also a game between the United States and the Soviet Union."

“President Reagan has characterized Iran as a ‘terrorist country’ and an ‘evil country’, and we will not make any deals or negotiations with these terrorist and evil countries.”

"Laws passed by the U.S. Congress prohibiting the shipment of weapons to Iran and laws strictly maintaining neutrality in the Iran-Iraq war."

"If we agree to Iraq's request, then the only question is whether we violate the law of strict neutrality in the Iran-Iraq war."

"Umbrella is an absolutely neutral business organization. We don't favor any party. We just make money. If US law does not prohibit us from trading with Iran, then I can also accept employment from Iran." Sean emphasized.

"Actually, it's not that serious." Leighton Steven said with a smile: "The above are all targeted at the national level, as long as they don't sell weapons to Iran."

"That is, in principle, we can accept Iraq's security and defense orders. Then the remaining question is, if Iraq places an order, how many people, what kind of equipment, and what kind of combat effectiveness we have the ability to dispatch...

" Sean said as he looked at several people.

"On the land warfare side, up to 300 people, 2 tanks, 4 infantry armored transport vehicles, and an armed helicopter can be dispatched without affecting the current work." Army Colonel Dennis Abbot said.

"The Keeling-class guided missile destroyer is still being refitted. It will take a month." Captain Robert A. Owens said with a frown.

"Can you please remind me, this efficiency is too slow. More than 100 ships were produced that year. If we had this efficiency, we would have finished World War II." Sean said dissatisfied.

"It is indeed finished." Leighton Steven said with a smile: "The construction plan of more than 100 ships has been cancelled."

"Shit!" Sean rolled his eyes. This was far worse than rabbits, a bunch of lazy people.

"It's okay. Let's talk to the shipyard and ask for help. However, we have to pay more."

Sean shook his head and said nothing. Whether he wants to pay more depends on what kind of mission it is in Iraq.

"However, Sean, our combat effectiveness is still a bit low. The Iran-Iraq war is not about dealing with gangsters or those garbage rebels in Colombia. The current combat effectiveness..." Leighton Steven shook his head, "It is also difficult to obtain in local battlefields.

What advantages.”

"you mean?"

"For specific needs, please ask Colonel Dennis." Leighton Steven turned to look over.

Dennis thought for a while and said: "If it is a land operation, it depends on how far it is from the coastline and whether it can get support from the navy. If not, then our equipment really needs to be upgraded."

"Portable radars, local battlefield jamming systems, and firepower must also be improved, more advanced portable surface-to-air missiles, more advanced anti-tank weapons, night combat equipment, battlefield transportation capabilities, and air support capabilities."

Dennis looked at Sean with burning eyes, "I suggest purchasing the Apache. On the frontal battlefield, the Black Hawk is too far behind."

"The survivability is also not good. Iran is not comparable to those anti-government armed forces. They have a lot of anti-aircraft weapons. Soviet, Rabbit, and Black Hawk are seeking death if they go up there."

Sean's lips twitched, Apache, do you think you're just a cabbage? That stuff is so expensive!

The Apache is an armed helicopter, and the Black Hawk is also an armed helicopter. Their functions are completely different.

The Black Hawk is a multi-functional aircraft that can transport, support, and conduct reconnaissance in one aircraft.

But the Apache is a pure combat helicopter, its firepower output and battlefield perspective capabilities are much better!

In terms of firepower, the Black Hawk and Apache don't seem to have much, but the Apache can hang on to the air combat bombs and has strong counterattack capabilities when encountering enemy air targets.

The Apache is smaller and has only two pilots, but it has better bulletproof performance and is faster when fully loaded. Its lateral and longitudinal speeds are more than three times that of the Black Hawk.

In other words, whether attacked from the ground or from the air, the Apache's survival probability is several times that of the Black Hawk.

This is why Dennis said that Black Hawk went up there to seek death, and once he went there he could not come back.

"Keelin is still small. It only has one helicopter bay, and the Black Hawk can also be used. Its fast maneuverability and transportation and delivery capabilities are also necessary on the battlefield." Robert also added, "Moreover, if you want to use a tank,

, armored vehicles are transported into the Persian Gulf, then we also need transport ships."

Sean's face darkened on the spot, okay, you didn't spend the money, and you dared to open your mouth as soon as your upper lip touched your lower lip, right?

How much money can you afford to build like this?

Why am I taking orders from Iraq just to make money?

"Hahahaha." Leighton Steven laughed, "Everyone, don't be so excited. We don't know what Iraq needs yet. Maybe they just need our help in transporting some things. Who knows."

Sean and the others looked at each other and laughed. Everyone had just received the news and was a little excited.

Participating in a war between major powers in a private capacity makes people feel...

The sea of ​​money is boiling!

Of course, this big country needs to be put in quotation marks. At most, it is a regional power.

It's not much better than playing house, which is why Sean agreed to participate without hesitation.

To put it bluntly, I look down on them...
