Reagan's proposal was not a trivial matter, so Alice did not agree with a heart-warming heart. Of course, she didn't have much to agree directly and verbally at the moment. Everything needs to be discussed for a long time.

So the next day, it was still the president's Oval Conference Room, Reagan, Alice, George H. Bush and then Secretary of Defense Casper Weinberg gathered here.

"I want to make a statement first, that is, I'm not very rich in funds now."

Alice said: "If time is really tight, you can choose to build other forces. If I do, although the training base has been built, there is still a lot of other work to be done."

While saying this, Alice was also betting. Since Reagan would make this suggestion to her, it must be based on two situations.

First, he has fully investigated himself and thought it was suitable, and more suitable for other security companies of different sizes across the country. Second, he is indeed not in a hurry, even if Hei Shui International is not fully prepared.

Because the current purpose of the government is to prompt Iran to surrender quickly. As for supporting Hei Shui International to become a government supplier, it is a long-term plan.

To put it bluntly, if it is really necessary, the Pentagon can even send the army directly to the battlefield between Iran and Iran. Once captured, they will be directly called Black Water, even if they have not signed a contract with the company at all.

So as Alice thought, Secretary of Defense Weinberg smiled and said, "Don't worry, Alice, our fiscal budgets in the past two years are quite abundant. If you are short of money, we will provide you with funds in various names. However, both in name and amount must be reasonable."

Alice deeply agrees with this. The government spends money that must be approved by Congress, and every item will be recorded. It is definitely the most serious act of dying when directly taking the public's money to a private company.

"Well, maybe we can do that."

So immediately afterwards, Alice's joke came: "Blackwater International bought millet and rice from the US Department of Agriculture. The price of millet and rice, what do you think?"

As she said this, she made two gestures in her hand, which were clearly the current prices of gold and silver.

Three adult men in the house looked at each other, and finally Bush couldn't help laughing: "Buy gold and silver at the price of buying rice and millet? Good guy, where did you come from? Hey, Ronald, did you hear it? Maybe there are really people in the government doing this!"

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

Alice explained lightly and immediately changed the subject: "I believe you have investigated me a lot, otherwise you wouldn't have put such important things on me. But Mr. President, can I ask why? Have you seen the shining points on me?"

Although the answer can be guessed for now.

Sure enough, Reagan immediately said it, and the answer was obviously ready: "Of course, it's age, little Alice. Although there are many forces that are stronger than you for the government, and of course we have always had a lot of cooperation with them, you are a newcomer after all. Whether it's Wall Street, oil consortium, or arms dealers, you have no foundation, that is, there are just a few companies in Silicon Valley."

"You are only fifteen years old now, but the achievements you have made... to be honest, you are better than Rockefeller of the same age."

This sentence caused everyone to chuckle, and Reagan continued: "Age, ability, and lack of deep foundation, we have no reason not to cooperate with you or to properly support you, right?"

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

"I admit that our country still has many problems with race. Those old chaebols who ride the legacy of Mayflower cannot easily accommodate outsiders. But Alice, the talent you are currently showing will definitely make everyone look at. The factors that can hinder the development of most people will have very limited impact on you."

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

Because these words are a bit amazing.

Alice immediately came up with the reason why he said this. Perhaps because of her young age, she wanted to use this emotional card to make her trust in the government. Well, she had a good idea, and Reagan's analysis was very clear, and she even praised her. Since the president herself is so enthusiastic, she is not easy to refuse.

The situation afterwards is very simple. In order to accelerate the construction of Blackwater International, the Ministry of Defense will provide Alice with a total of 300 million US dollars in funds.

Three hundred million!

Of course, the White House will not do business that loses money, of course there is no doubt about this.

The Iraq-Iraq War is a special war. It is a veritable "marathon" war of attrition, a war that is not worth the loss for both sides and has no winners. At the same time, it is commented by the world military as the most typical example of "advanced weapons fighting low-level wars". It is a world military power that boasts that it uses all advanced weapons except atomic bombs, including chemical weapons. F14, F4, Phantom fighter, and Scud missiles take turns to fight, which makes Iraq alone bear more than $40 billion in arms debt, let alone Iran?

The arms dealers did make a lot of money, but at the same time, because of the near-stagnation of oil output, the continuous high yields of non-OPEC members and Soviet oil fields have seriously affected the interests of American oil tycoons.

Every day the war ends, global oil prices will return to normal one day earlier. Compared to the hundreds of billions of dollars in recovered funds, giving Alice 300 million is really nothing.

What's more, this was originally a long-term investment from the Ministry of Defense in her.

The meeting in the Oval Office ended soon, and Alice also enjoyed a rare lunch cooked by a White House chef. After that, she said goodbye to the enthusiastic President Reagan, and Alice once again took the special car of Vice President Bush and drove towards his mansion.

"Old man, tell me honestly."

In the back seat, Alice burped satisfiedly and patted her belly while saying to Bush, "Is it because of this reason that I asked me to invest in your son's five million?"

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

Bush, the Sr., said: "Don't forget that if the government agencies in so many eastern states adopt Cisco's products, since it was promoted by me, how could Ronald not know? For the past few months, you have been a little celebrity talked about by the Minister of Defense!"

Alice twitched: "The Iraq War...after all, they fought so hard that it was speechless."

These words caught Bush's attention. When the car just passed a corner, he asked with interest: "The Iraq-Iraq War has been fighting for seven years. You should have had a lot of opinions long ago, right? Let's hear it?"

Well, this is another time to prove your talent.

Alice rolled her eyes and said without hesitation: "First of all, this war proves a truth, that is, huge amounts of money can buy modern weapons and equipment, but cannot buy the modernization level of the army. The introduction of advanced foreign weapons and equipment must be combined with the actual situation of the country. The industrial foundation of Iran and Iran is weak, and it is impossible to repair and install parts of many advanced weapons. The ammunition is mainly supplied by foreign countries. Moreover, their soldiers have a low level of education, so it is quite difficult to master some advanced surface-to-air missiles, or advanced weapons such as MiG-23 fighter jets."

"Secondly, it is obvious that local wars under modern conditions should pay attention to quick battles, but at the same time, they should also be prepared for long-term battles, and both must be done. In the early stages of the war, Iraq took lightning action, which is very good. But it bets the war bet entirely on this point, and lacks the preparation for long-term battles in terms of thought and materials. Therefore, once the attempt to fight quickly is crushed by the other side, it will be miserable."

"Third, in modern local wars, the main goal should be to annihilate the enemy's living forces, and not to be too entangled in the gains and losses of one city and one place. In this war, almost all battles and battles are offensive and defensive wars aimed at cities and villages. Both sides are satisfied with the superficial victory of siege cities and lands, and ignore the large number of annihilation of the enemy's living forces. This is the direct reason why the war lasted for so long."

"In addition, modern local wars have large losses in weapons and equipment and materials, which raises new issues for logistics supply. Although the Iran-Iraq War cannot be called a high-level modern war, the war consumes so much that it is unique in the history of local wars since World War II. For example, in the early days of the war, Iraq fired tens of thousands of shells on a small town of 1,000 households like Schillingborg. Moreover, their army was mainly mechanized, but the supply of oil was terrible, so that all the battles were extremely slow, so time was naturally delayed."

After almost unthinkingly speaking, Alice curled her lips again and said disdainfully: "Look, even if this war can end next year, these two countries will be in a bad way. So many people died, so much money, and have stopped developing for so many years. It is estimated that after the battle, they can maintain their lives in the 1960s."

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

However, when he suddenly heard such a long list of insightful analysis, Bush was almost aphasia.
