American TV series

Chapter 246: National Order

I kept my eyes closed all the way, not even in the mood to tease the stewardess on the plane, but fortunately I fell asleep soon after.

It wasn't until the plane started to slow down at Trompo that Sean woke up in a daze.

"You guys will get off the plane later and ignore me." Sean whispered, gathered up the blanket and continued to sleep. He would definitely not get off the plane if he didn't get off.

When there was no one in the first class cabin and the flight attendant came to call him, Sean got up.

When Shi Shiran got off the plane, Sean opened his mouth and took a breath. This sleep was so comfortable!

I wandered out of the airport slowly and contacted my subordinates on the phone.

After booking a hotel, Sean didn't rush there and started walking around the streets of Colombo with a few of his men.

Especially in the port area, we should treat it as a market inspection.

The stops along the way were Brunei, Lijiapo, and Sri Lanka, and Sean had some thoughts in mind.

All within the scope of his maritime security services.

After a day of shopping, I had a special taste of the so-called Sri Lankan food...

Hmm, the same curry flavor, too strong!

But it’s good to eat it occasionally.

The next day, Sean took people out of Trompo early and went to an uninhabited beach in the south to wait.

After waiting for more than half an hour, a Black Hawk helicopter quickly flew over the sea.

The helicopter did not land, but only dropped a rope ladder, and Sean and others quickly climbed up.

The plane turned around and the fleet was still 200 kilometers away. We had to get on board quickly.

Originally it was Captain Robert who was supposed to meet the President of Sri Lanka this time, but Boss He came over in a hurry and had to change his mind temporarily and change it to Sean himself.

A few hours later, two huge guided-missile destroyers, led by small boats of the Sri Lanka Navy, entered the Trompoo port.

At the port, the President of Sri Lanka held a grand welcome ceremony. With Brunei and Li Jiapo supporting him, Sri Lanka no longer felt that it was a shame to allow private warships to enter the port.

Moreover……

Sean's fleet is indeed much stronger than Sri Lanka's navy.

Not in terms of numbers, but because everyone is not in the same era!

Gun salute, meeting, handshakes, photos, live broadcast on TV, outside the port, Boss He was sitting in the car.

Shaking his head, "Let's go back to the hotel."

Boss He himself didn’t know how he felt.

At the welcoming ceremony, Sri Lanka's party was grander than Brunei and Lijiapo.

In fact, if we look purely at turnover, the total annual turnover of the industries under Sean's name is higher than the GDP of the country of Brunei.

But in terms of international reputation, Sean is still far behind and should not receive such head-of-state treatment.

After all, this is not the Internet age or the global village. In this era, information is still very limited. Sean is also famous in New Jersey, New York, and the surrounding areas of Colombia in the United States.

Not many people in North America know about him, and his rise is too fast.

Even if Murdoch, an Australian thief, helped with a wave of 'publicity', it was useless. This guy didn't dare to name him in the first place.

However, after Peter Cherney began to officially intervene in the acquisition of Capital Media Company, Murdoch has completely lost his temper. When Sean returns, he will probably be very 'surprised'.

However, after traveling around Southeast Asian countries on two private guided missile destroyers.

In Southeast Asia, Sean has already become famous and is at the peak of his popularity!

A military force that can compete with other small countries, a naval force that can crush the state!

Recently, Sean Rockefeller's name is indispensable in almost every issue of TV media, newspapers and magazines in Southeast Asian countries.

Known as the man with the largest private armed force in the world.

Now, at least in Southeast Asia, Sean can be treated like a head of state in any country he goes to.

After a state banquet, formal communication begins.

It was completely beyond Sean's expectation. Sean didn't mention "maritime security and defense business" at all. The President of Sri Lanka asked directly: "We would like to negotiate a military employment order with your company."

Sean blinked and immediately thought, "LTTE?"

"Yes!" The Sri Lankan president nodded.

There is no need to hide this. This is what Sean considered when he decided to come to Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka has not yet completed de facto reunification. There is still an anti-government armed force in the country.

In May 1975, 21-year-old Prabhakaran assassinated the mayor of Jaffna City, Durayapach, outside a temple. He became famous in one fell swoop. Within a few years, he formed a 15,000-strong anti-government armed force.

Controlled the northeastern and eastern regions dominated by Tamils.

Name it, LTTE!

It is proficient in suicide bombing attacks. It is closely organized with religion as the link and has strict requirements for members. They are not allowed to smoke or drink, and they are not allowed to marry without permission. There are more than 5,000 members, about half of whom are women, and everyone has a bomb hanging around their neck.

A container containing cyanide.

In July 1983, members of the organization killed 13 government soldiers in the Jaffna Peninsula. Subsequently, the Sinhalese retaliated against the Tamils ​​in the capital Colombo and triggered large-scale riots. A conflict between the government forces and the Tigers soon broke out.

ended the protracted civil war!

"Umbrella is a commercial organization. We can undertake all legal commercial orders. In theory, the military employment order proposed by Mr. President is no problem. However, the specifics also depend on what kind of employment agreement you want." Xiao

En said after careful consideration.

"Destroy the tigers!"

"This is impossible!" Sean shook his head and refused, "We all know that behind the Tigers is the Indian Asan."

Yes, Asan has always been a ‘military power’!

Well, at least they think so.

It’s so funny even to say!

Ah San has been supporting the Tigers from behind, providing weapons, ammunition, food, medicine, and the purpose is to annex Sri Lanka.

Don’t think that Ah San’s ideas are too wild and unreasonable. In fact, after World War II, the only person who has actually completed the annexation of a country is the third brother!

In 1975, Asan officially completed the annexation of the Kingdom of Sikkim!

Without this confidence, would Asan dare to claim to be a ‘military power’?

Therefore, Asan wanted to replicate the successful experience of Sikkim in Sri Lanka, and the Tigers were born.

Of course, the funny thing is that with the support of Asan, the Tigers gradually grew stronger and defeated the Sri Lankan government forces. This gave the Tigers the idea of ​​​​founding a nation.

Not just in Sri Lanka, but also in the Tamil gathering areas in southern Asan...

Ah San was so angry that he sent 100,000 troops to Sri Lanka to annihilate the tigers, and then,

Defeated…

Of course, that's a story later.

The Tigers are currently fighting with the Sri Lankan government forces in the northeastern region, and with Asan as their backing and a steady supply of weapons, the Tigers are not afraid of the Sri Lankan government.

At present, countries such as Sri Lanka and Brunei do not even have the ability to reload bullets. All weapons and ammunition are purchased from outsourcing. Their combat effectiveness is

Almost negligible.

Speaking of Asan, the President of Sri Lanka became angry and looked ugly, "What does your company think of this order?"

"I don't think we should consider completely wiping out the tigers all at once." Sean thought for a while and said: "We are a commercial company and we will not interfere in a country's political issues. So, what should Asan do?

, I can’t control it.”

"So, I think we should consider this as a long-term goal."

"This way, we can break this goal into several different steps to complete!"

"What do you mean?" President Si seemed to understand something.

"For example, let's first maintain the security within Sri Lanka's waters and sign a maritime defense outsourcing agreement." Sean said with a smile.

President Si frowned slightly. He instantly understood what Sean meant. It was difficult to eliminate the tigers at once. Moreover, instead of eliminating the tigers, it would be better to make this a long-term order, so as to make more money.

If it were purely the Tigers' maritime power, the Sri Lankan military would be able to destroy them. Although they only have some speedboats, the problem is that Asan will send their warships to contain the Sri Lankan military and provide support to the Tigers.

If we can use Sean's power to offset Ah San's naval threat, it's not impossible!

"The maritime defense outsourcing agreement... I need to discuss it." President Sri Lanka almost agreed to it.

This surprised Sean!

Unexpectedly, Boss He did something good.

"We will stay here for one day, and then we will set sail for the Arabian Sea. If possible, please do it as soon as possible." Sean said with a smile: "The need for security in the Middle East is obviously more urgent."

"Yes!" President Si nodded. Regardless of whether what Sean said was for bargaining or not, he must pay attention to it.

To put it bluntly, if he can defeat the Tigers while in office, then he will simply be a hero for the Sri Lankan people.

His reputation will increase significantly, the constitution will be revised, the time in power will be extended, etc. This is just the meaning of the title.

He couldn't help but ignore his vital interests.

The matter has come to an end here.

Sean returned to the accommodation arranged by Si Fang in a good mood.

Here, Boss He is still waiting.

As soon as he entered the door, Sean walked up to Boss He and gave him a big hug, "Boss He, I'm so happy to see you!"

Next to him, Lorraine looked at Sean, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, her eyes contemptuous.

Sean gave him a wink.

Boss He couldn't stand the joke. He exchanged a few words and sat down again. Lorraine brought two cups of coffee.

"Mr. Sean, you have worked hard all the way. Logically speaking, I shouldn't be in such a hurry to disturb you, but..." Boss He sighed.

I know you’re here anyway!

Sean cursed in his heart, but the smile on his face remained unchanged, "No, no, I have nothing to do on the boat. I just blow the sea breeze and hit lures all day long. There is no hard work, right, dear Lorraine."

"It's quite hard for the boss to run up and down." Lorraine smiled like a flower.

Boss He was not in the mood to see where Sean was flirting, and brought the topic back with his face, "Last time, Mr. Sean asked, did I want your company to protect people or property? What's the difference?"

"The difference is actually very simple." Sean took a sip of coffee and said, "Actually, it depends on how big an appetite Boss He has."

"If Boss He is simply planning to develop on this three-thirds of an acre of Hong Kong Island, it doesn't really matter. Even if he doesn't ask for our protection, I believe Boss He is capable of forming a relatively decent security team to protect you and your family."

"After all, as far as Hong Kong Island itself is concerned, the Hong Kong police have done a good job and are considered top-notch in the world in terms of security."

"Whether it is backed by the British now or backed by the north in the future, in fact, as long as Boss He's industry does not leave Hong Kong Island, or most of the industry does not leave Hong Kong Island, safety is actually guaranteed."

"Of course, Hong Kong Island itself does have some embarrassments in its positioning. It's hard to say what the future holds."

Boss He nodded, he understood what Sean meant.

"What if I want to extend the company's tentacles all over the world?" Boss He asked again.

"Hahaha, if Boss He wants to expand his business, should he prepare to make money outside, or simply do charity." Sean looked at Boss He with a half-smile.

Boss He was silent for a long time. He wanted to say 'invest', but after thinking about it, he changed his mind and said, "make money."

"Your neighbor puts his hand into your house and wants to take some money out of your house. What will you do?" Sean asked with a laugh.

"You can't say that. Business is flowing. It's not possible to close the door to the country. Business has no national borders." Boss He frowned slightly.

"Ha!" Sean sneered, "Boss He, to put it bluntly, you are not qualified to say this."

Boss He frowned, what the hell do you mean he is not qualified? Of course, he did not dare to get angry, so he could only lower his eyebrows and ask for advice in a low voice to this man who was not much older than his son: "I'm sorry I don't understand Mr. Sean.

mean."

"This is what the strong say to the weak!" Sean looked at Boss He with a half-smile, and continued without caring about his ugly expression: "That's what the British said after they used cannons to open the gates of the Qing Dynasty.

"

"That's what the Eight-Nation Allied Forces said and did."

"They also invested in the Qing Dynasty, right? At that time, the Qing Dynasty's industry was very backward. It was the Western countries led by the United Kingdom that brought the basic industrial system, established factories, and hired workers."

"But history doesn't see it that way, and neither does the north."

"It's like this in Southeast Asia, Africa, and America."

“If it’s true that foreigners are benefiting from doing business in this country, then why set up tariffs?”

"The United States has clear regulations that non-Americans are not allowed to purchase TV stations."

"Whenever a large company merges with a foreign company, it must obtain permission from its own government. Is this called having no borders?"

"Things are said beautifully, but that doesn't mean they are the truth. They are all used to fool ordinary people. In fact, you are drawing blood from other countries." Sean looked at Boss He coldly, "Even if the country

If you don’t object to it, do you think the local capitalists won’t resist?”

"If people from other countries come to Hong Kong Island's real estate market to grab food, will you Hong Kong Island businessmen agree?"

"Will we drive them out collectively?"

Boss He was speechless. Of course they would, and they would use any means to let the other party know what it meant to lose everything.

The cake is only one big piece. If you take one more bite, I will take one less bite. Destroying people's wealth is like killing their parents. If you don't have the ability, that's it. If you meet someone who has the ability, you will be finished if you see if they do it or not.

"Don't say you are, do you know what the nationalization process is?" Sean said with a smile.

Hearing this word, Boss He's brows jumped sharply. This is a word that every capitalist fears!

"When Cuba was nationalized, many big families in the United States were helpless and watched their assets go down the drain."

Nationalization, to put it bluntly, means confiscation of assets, not to mention any compensation. No capitalist is willing to ask for compensation.

"Of course, most of the time we won't be so radical, but do you believe it if I say there are no means at all?"

"Isn't the country made up of local forces and local capitalists? When they want to compete, won't they use national power?"

“What do you do when faced with this situation, and who do you think you can turn to?”

"Do you want help from the Hong Kong Island government?"

"Condemn him, condemn him like crazy!"

"Then what?"

"Economic sanctions?"

“Does this have any deterrent effect on landowners?”

"Can Hong Kong Island be called a force? Can he? He can't! He's not that capable, you know?"

Boss He's eyelids twitched when he heard this.

At this time, Boss He had not yet left the one-third of an acre of Hong Kong Island, or he had just put out some tentative tentacles.

Husky Energy is the first step he is ready to take, an energy company in a Commonwealth member state.

This is not an arbitrary choice!

He had also expected what Sean said, after all, he himself had often used tricks in this area.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, he would have won all the terminals in Kwai Tsing in the later period.

When Hong Kong Islanders get up in the morning, they go to the nearby PARKnSHOP supermarket if they want to buy vegetables and fruits, and Watsons if they want to buy daily necessities.

PARKnSHOP holds 70% of the retail supermarket market share on Hong Kong Island.

Many Hong Kong people have to spend half of their income every month to repay their mortgages owed to Cheung Kong Properties.

Hong Kong people watch TV and listen to radio stations, and it is He Ershao’s PCCW.

The telephone network installed at home is provided by Hexun Huangpu.

The electricity used on the main island of Hong Kong is supplied by the Hong Kong Electric Group.

Others include water to drink, buses to travel on, the Star Ferry to cross the sea, natural gas to burn, fuel to refuel...

Carrefour and Wal-Mart have stores all over the world, but they have only given up on Hong Kong Island.

The reason why they gave up this international metropolis is that they couldn't beat Boss He on Hong Kong Island.

"Then I don't know, if I encounter such a problem, what kind of protection can Mr. Sean provide?" Boss He stared at Sean for a moment.

"First: I guarantee that no one will use any black means against you." Sean held out a finger.

"Second: I promise that the official will not adopt discriminatory policies against you." Sean held out a second finger.

"Then what does Mr. Sean need from me?" Boss He asked again.

"30%, I need 30% of the shares in all the properties under your name." Sean also stared into Boss He's eyes and said.

If Boss He wasn't calm enough, he almost jumped up on the spot and pointed at Sean and scolded him. This appetite would be too much!

30%, absolutely impossible!

"Don't you think it's too much, Mr. Sean?" Boss He said through gritted teeth.

"Is it a lot? I don't think so." Sean spread his hands and said calmly.

The Boss He before leaving Hong Kong Island and the Boss He after leaving Hong Kong Island are not the same concept.

If it were 10 years later, Sean would definitely not dare to ask for this price, but now...

Yes, he bullied Boss He and there was nothing he could do against him.

Haha, haha, Boss He was so angry that he opened his mouth several times to say something, but in the end he held it back.

Damn it, 30%. If he is willing to pay 30%, why doesn’t he find someone from the Rockefeller family to talk things over, instead of a junior like you!

Why go to those old British aristocrats?

Why not work with the British royal family?

Anyway, Boss He believes that he can give up part of his shares and attract a lot of people to his ship.

When the time comes, I will still be able to withstand the storms Sean mentioned.

You little boy, you have a big appetite!

"I appreciate Mr. Sean's kindness. I'll say goodbye!" Boss He said with a cold expression and turned around to leave.

Watching Boss He open the door and walk out, Lorraine leaned into Sean's ear at some point, "You're not going to kill him, are you?"

"Am I that kind of person?" Sean rolled his eyes.

"I don't think it's necessary either." Lorraine nodded.

"Assign someone to pay attention to every move of Yangtze River Industries, monitor their phone calls, especially the movements of senior executives, and collect and organize information regularly." Sean ordered.

Lorraine rolled her eyes and pretended I didn't ask.

Boss He encountered a big problem with Sean. He knew how big the appetite of these guys was. With a cold face, he ordered his subordinates to arrange a flight. He wanted to return to Hong Kong Island.

He wants to immediately form a security team that fully obeys his orders!

We must never leave such a big loophole for people again.

Of course, you can tie up your wife, whatever you want...

Now that Boss He is gone, Sean is free.

Now that he was sure that Sri Lanka had the intention to cooperate with him, Sean had to learn more about this country.

This understanding is not about reading some words or pictures, but more about seeing with your own eyes.

This is really poor!

Sri Lanka’s per capita GDP is US$390, which is much higher than rabbits, but rabbits are publicly owned.

Sri Lanka’s food and clothing problem has not yet been solved...

…

Sri Lanka did not waste time.

After the interview between President Sri Lanka and Sean, he immediately asked his cabinet members to hold a meeting to discuss the issue of hiring an umbrella company to defend Sri Lanka's maritime security.

It was noisy, some supported and some opposed, but President Sri Lanka remained silent and just ordered everyone's questions to be recorded.

The meeting lasted for nearly two hours. After all the issues were sorted out, President Sri Lanka ordered everyone to review the sorted issues again.

Keep what is valuable and delete what is not.

From people, lives, international situation to domestic environment, many problems have been sorted out.

If these issues can be resolved, then there will be no problem in reaching an agreement with the umbrella company.

All this depends on Sean's answer tomorrow.

Sean is not idle here either.

Facing the first country that might reach an agreement, Sean notified the United States before leaving.

Old man Leighton Stevens, Colonel Dennis Abbot, directly chartered a plane to fly directly to Sri Lanka.

Fortunately, it was a charter flight and the conditions were much better, otherwise I would have been exhausted.

The next morning.

In the Sri Lankan parliament conference room, the two sides sat across from each other.

Sean introduced his people to President Steve, "Mr. Leighton Stevens, former major general of Guantánamo Base, Colonel Robert A. Owens, Umbrella Maritime Director, Commander of USS Sean, Dennis Ebb

Special Colonel, Commander of Umbrella Ground Forces."

As soon as they took action, a US Army major general and two colonels shocked the Sri Lankan cabinet on the spot.

After all, there is a difference between major general and major general.

After the introduction, the two parties entered the formal negotiation phase.

President Si will directly throw the problems he encounters to Sean.

"First of all, there is no similar precedent in any country in the world, and we don't know how this will be evaluated."

"That's not a problem." Sean replied directly: "Although I don't sound good about precedents, they basically occur in small countries. After all, even if big countries want to test something, they will definitely not do it before they are sure of the danger.

It will be tested on direct land."

"So, you don't have to worry about evaluation. There are only five major countries that can use evaluation to influence you, and the American Association of America supports it because my surname is Rockefeller."

"France will wait and see. This will play a testing role in their layout in North Africa."

"Britain will complain. They always like to complain because you are a member of the Commonwealth, but they are just complaining. If you continue to push me, you can just threaten to withdraw from the Commonwealth. If they have the ability to help, they will not let them.

A tiger rises up and hurts people."

"In the end, Rabbit will remain silent. What the Soviet Union says has nothing to do with you."

"As for other countries, everyone knows that no one listens to what they say."

A group of people in the Sri Lankan cabinet looked at each other. This Mr. Sean spoke too...

Hardened.

The problem is, our waists are not that strong!

"The Problem of Pressure in the International Community."

"The United States will express its support and, if necessary, will speak out at the United Nations General Assembly. I can promise this." Sean said directly.

Sri Lanka Cabinet: Awesome!

"The next thing is the intrusion issue."

"What I said may be a bit direct, but, my friend, Gulf Oil, the weakest among the seven oil sisters under the Rockefeller consortium, had sales of US$26.483 billion in 1980, and Exxon, the largest, had sales of US$100 billion."

"Sri Lanka's GDP in 1980 was only US$4.025 billion."

"Not talking about Rockefeller as a whole, Sean's own company's sales last year exceeded 4 billion, and Sri Lanka's GDP last year was 5.978 billion." Sean spread his hands, his meaning obvious.

It takes 6 Sri Lankans to compete with the weakest one among the seven sisters.

These are just the seven sisters.

It's just a little more than my personal assets.

Speaking of aggression, don't make a fuss, it's embarrassing.

A group of people in the Sri Lankan cabinet bowed their heads in a tacit understanding, which means they are black and blushing is hard to see.

"The next question is domestic public opinion. We are afraid that handing over maritime security issues will cause a wave of opposition and civil unrest in the country."

"Listen to my quibbles!" Sean said with a smile: "This is to assist the Sri Lankan military in its maritime work and to help guide the development of the Sri Lankan military and navy."

"In fact, this is also the case. The current force of the Sri Lankan military and navy will not be disbanded. It will still be the main patrol force. The protective umbrella is to provide high-end force deterrence and drive away or capture intruders after they are discovered."

"It is impossible for Umbrella to send thousands of people to protect the entire Sri Lankan border. You cannot afford this cost."

"Ah San will definitely object, citing national security as the reason." The Sri Lankan cabinet once again raised the issue, and they could not solve the matter.

Sean motioned to Old Man Layton, asking him to answer the national question.

"Of course Ah San will object and will support the Tigers. They will do it with or without a protective umbrella, so what's the point?" Old Man Leiden has been a soldier for decades and has a very tough temper. "He also

It’s just opposition. If he dares to step into Sri Lanka’s waters, if the other party doesn’t leave after three warnings, I will dare to open fire and sink them!”

"As for raising objections at the United Nations, let him do whatever he wants. If a mere Asan wants to interfere in the politics of another country, he is worthy of it!"

"Sir, we all admit that the United States is very powerful and is the world's largest military power. However, Asan is not weak. His military expenditure ranks among the top ten in the world." The Sri Lankan cabinet really felt that Leiden's words were a little bit.

too big.

That is Asan, the most powerful country in this area.

"Does high investment in military spending mean high level of military proficiency? A fighter jet that tastes like curry? Then I really can't beat him!!" After Layton's words, Sean and others burst into laughter.

What these old American soldiers like most is to tease and ridicule the level of ordnance and military strength of other countries.

The mouth is very black!

"Asan has been developing a rifle in recent years. It has a total length of nearly 1 meter and a weight of 3.2 kilograms. It has two types of ammunition capacity: 20 rounds and 30 rounds. The effective range is 400 meters. The firing method is burst or 3-round burst. It cannot fire continuously.

Shooting." Layton spread his hands with a mocking look on his face, "This is so fucking incomprehensible. Are you afraid that the firepower will be too fierce and scare you?"

"This is the first rifle produced by Ah San himself. I have seen a sample of the rifle. The receiver, grip, and magazine are modeled after AK. The butt and flash suppressor are modeled after the Belgian FN FAL rifle. The handguard is modeled after

For our M16, the charging handle is made of German HK, and probably only the barrel of the entire rifle was designed by Ah San himself.”

"And that's exactly the problem. Don't aim this gun. It will never hit the enemy."

"Of course, that's not the most important thing."

"What surprises me most is its failure rate, which is as high as 2%!"

"I'm sorry, this thing is on the battlefield. I think what Soldier Asan is most worried about is definitely not the bullets fired by the enemy. I bet my 30-year military career that the fatality rate of this gun malfunction is definitely higher than being killed by the enemy.

High!" Layton said with a speechless face: "The guns produced by the owners of any arms sales store in the United States are safer and easier to use than this!"

Sean didn't know about this, it was the first time he heard about it, and he looked at Layton in surprise.

Damn it, are you sure you are not talking about my Qing Dynasty? The quality of this firearm is comparable to that of my Qing Dynasty!

"Okay, don't worry about them. Ah San should take care of Kashmir first. They have been fighting for 40 fucking years. They have no energy, no ability, and no courage to open another battlefield." Sean waved his hand and said with that attitude.

, as if driving away flies.

In fact, Sean really only regarded Ah San as a fly.

The three of them have been with the British for so many years and have learned nothing else but the ability to stir things up.

The level of operation is really impressive.

(PS: Compared with the standard, the failure rate of Rabbit's 95 steps is 4 out of 1,000, while the American M16's failure rate is 1 out of 10,000. *********S2: The high failure rate of M16 is due to operational errors by the US military in the early stages of the Vietnam War, which were later corrected and improved.

The M16 gun family has first-class performance and has been in service)

(PS3: AK’s so-called low cost and simple deconstruction require two necessary conditions. The first is the industrial system of a large country, and the second is low wages. It requires forging, machining, and heat treatment. China and Russia can do it, but small countries in war-torn areas cannot complete it. The Middle East

It’s almost impossible to look at AKs from small workshops like those in Africa.)

"The last question is the economy. We are afraid that Asan will impose economic sanctions on Sri Lanka. We rely heavily on Asan for food and foreign trade. This is also one of the reasons why there is nothing we can do to support the Tigers." The Sri Lankan cabinet raised the last question.

"Economic issues, fundamentally speaking, have nothing to do with umbrella companies. This is beyond the scope of umbrella companies." Sean said directly: "Economic issues are your government's business. We are talking about maritime safety issues.

"

Si's cabinet smiled awkwardly. This matter was not originally part of Qiao's plan, but Sean's promise was too heartfelt, so they brought it up.

"but……"

Sean, however, once again stirred up the hearts of the Sri Lankan cabinet.

After thinking about it for a while, Sean continued: "I just said that the annual output value of the company under my name is not much worse than that of the entire Sri Lanka. If I don't show some strength, I'm afraid you will think that I am talking nonsense.

Already."

"You should have read about me and know that I have many investments in Cartagena, Colombia."

Everyone in the Sri Lankan cabinet nodded.

"Because of the investment I brought with me, Cartagena's output this year is about five times what it was before."

"Sri Lanka is also attracting foreign investment. In 1978, it began to implement an economic opening policy, vigorously attract foreign investment, and promote privatization. The economy has grown rapidly in recent years." President Sri Lanka said impatiently.

In recent years, although it is said that it is attracting foreign investment, the actual situation is that due to the war, there has been almost no results, and most of what has been attracted is mainly aid and construction.

If I could pull off a big deal...

They can wake up laughing!

"I can consider this, as long as there is money to be made and we can develop together, but that's another story, friends." Sean said with a smile.

"Of course, of course." Some people in the Sri Lankan cabinet were very happy.

Previously, the Sri Lankan cabinet had calculated that if the protective umbrella could really eliminate the Tigers' maritime power and block Ah San's support from the sea, then they would be able to achieve major results against the Tigers.

Even if the Tigers cannot be defeated, it will definitely be no problem to block them in the east and northeast.

After getting rid of the war, Sri Lanka's economy will inevitably usher in great development.

From the president to the cabinet members, they are actually big capitalists or farmers in Sri Lanka, and they can all benefit hugely.

Now the last question is.

"We are willing to place a maritime security defense order with Umbrella Company, so how does your company charge and what kind of services can it provide?"

"100 million US dollars, every year, the order is signed for 10 years, and the price rises by 10% every year!" Sean held out a finger.

"Oh, no, my God, this is too expensive!" The Sri Lankan cabinet suddenly exploded, "No, Mr. Sean, this is 1.7% of our GDP. This is too exaggerated. If we sign this kind of order, we will definitely be

Scolding."

"No, it's not expensive." Sean shook his head, "You have to know that I have to convince Congress and the President of the United States, so that Ah San can go back to the United Nations without success. What you are relying on is the United States, the world's largest country.

Power, it’s not expensive at all.”

"Moreover, as the peace process advances, Sri Lanka's economy will grow explosively, and the benefits will only be greater."

"How can you create profits without investing? This is the most basic truth."

"But this is too much!" People in the Sri Lankan cabinet understand this, but this contract is indeed difficult to sign.

"In this way, as the second national customer of Umbrella Company, I can give you another option. 1.5% of that year's GDP will be used to link the contract price with your country's economy." Sean held his hands and looked at the people in front of him.

"I believe that after the power of the protective umbrella enters Sri Lanka, the economy here will show explosive growth. I am extremely confident in this."

"Besides, with such huge warships stationed here and so many soldiers here, they bring in huge amounts of consumption every year. In fact, most of it is spent in Sri Lanka."

What Sean said is purely a secret exchange concept. Sri Lanka even helped Sean raise a fleet...

"This..." Several members of the Sri Lankan cabinet hesitated. If economic binding is carried out, then Sean's side can indeed be guaranteed to contribute.

"Finally, let me give you another reason to make up your mind!" Sean said passionately like those people who are engaged in TV sales: "After signing the contract, I will immediately send people to transfer the Tiger's maritime power

Destroy them all!"

"How about using this as a gift from the cabinet to the people!"

"Okay!" As soon as this was said, the people in the Sri Lankan cabinet immediately agreed.

This news will definitely silence all the opposing voices!

This time, there was no longer any disagreement between the two parties. All that was left was just some details.

For example, when is the time to sign the contract?

How much force does Umbrella Company have stationed here?

Duties and responsibilities when cooperating in combat operations.

The location for berthing and maintenance of warships.

Monthly patrol scope.

The scope of the law that soldiers abide by here.

These issues must be discussed one by one.

In the end, both parties decided that Umbrella Company would station a guided missile destroyer here (actually a frigate)

Two anti-submarine patrol boats with a displacement of more than 500 tons.

The two parties signed an agreement. As for the signing, they still have to wait until Lao Sa completes the mission and returns.

After everything was settled, President Sri Lanka held another state banquet to entertain Sean and his party.

It can be said that the guest and the host enjoy themselves.

It wasn't until evening that Sean and others returned to their residence.

As soon as they came back, Leiden and others showed excitement, "This is really a good start!"

Sean also laughed happily.

This is not just a matter of 100 million a year, it is a matter of deep participation in a country's internal affairs!

Of course President Si and the others understand this, but they don't care because it can better safeguard their rights.

It is equivalent to attracting investment and getting stronger and stronger.

And for Sean, with this start, he can’t open up the markets of other small countries until later!

With these five small countries helping to share military expenses, Sean's naval power can be expanded three times!

That is about 6 guided missile destroyers, with a total displacement of more than 20,000 tons.

This is not the so-called maritime power of many small countries that can only hang around in the near sea. This can fight in the ocean!

By then, it will really be a force internationally!

Maritime and armed forces that can truly determine the form of a local area!

This does not include the benefits brought by subsequent investments in some small countries.

The triple means of military, economic and cultural...

Sean was excited... Seeing Lorraine's eyes glowing green, Lorraine was so frightened that she ran back and hid in a panic.

Fortunately, President Sri Lanka is a sensible person...

Lorraine:(╬◣д◢)

Damn President Si, you look good!!
