Chapter 720 [Large-scale purchase of equipment]
After Luo Sheng confirmed that the 50 billion US dollars of funds had actually been controlled by Horizon Security, he immediately sent August Fran to convert the money into combat power as soon as possible.
As for sharing 600 million US dollars in cash with local mercenaries, this is a trivial small problem.
"I don't know what will eventually turn into if I continue like this, whether it is right or wrong." Qin Weimu suddenly said emotionally. After learning that Horizon Security Company was a secret chess set up by Luo Sheng, she felt a lot of emotion.
Luo Sheng said in a deep voice: "If we were just a small company, there would not be so many problems in the small business, but the actual situation is that if the income of the four institutions this year is not surprising, the total number of these four institutions will exceed 1 trillion US dollars. There are several other institutions such as Xingjian International, which have not yet made efforts, so they will only be more in the future."
What is the concept of an annual income of US$1 trillion? If it is regarded as a country's GDP, it can rank 15th or 16th in the world among more than 200 countries around the world, and it will continue to move forward in the future.
Speaking of this, Luo Sheng added word by word: "We are... rich, but not strong enough, rich but not strong enough, but fish on others' boards. All our achievements today, everything can be subverted overnight, and even the entire family cannot be preserved. As long as we think of my little princess who is only one year old, we must go on firmly and succeed."
Qin Weimu sighed leisurely, without saying anything. She also understood that her career has reached its current scale and has offended countless people until now, and she has not known many people, and she wished that Luo Sheng could instantly evaporate and disappear into the world and divide his achievements.
Behind me is a cliff, and there is no way out.
This is probably because people are in the world and cannot help themselves.
Finally, Luo Sheng took her into his arms and said relaxedly: "With me standing in front of you, the rain can't get wet on you. Don't think about what is there. It's better to explore the reality of the integration. This may be more meaningful."
Qin Weimu: “…”
...
Wujiao Building.
"This is the list of equipment procurement list reported by Horizon International. They want to purchase 48 second-hand F-14 fighters, 33 brand new F-16 fighters, 5 C-130 transport aircraft, and 100,000 swarm drones; including some tanks, tanks, light weapons, etc., with a total purchase amount of US$19.9 billion."
After a senior attendee finished speaking, he put down the report in his hand and looked at the participants.
The purchase list of Horizon Security Company was submitted, which surprised the high-level leaders of the Wu Point Building. One participant said: "Is Horizon International trying to compete with Drakken International?"
Drakken International, a private military company founded in 2012 in Reckland, Florida, North America, is currently the most powerful private air force in the world.
The company currently has 118 fighter jets, most of which are second-hand aircraft retired from the air forces of various countries, and new aircraft purchased from other defense companies. It is actually stronger than the air force of some medium-sized countries.
The average middle-aged country not only has a lower number of fighter jets than Drakken International, but also has far lower numbers of pilots than Drakken International.
Drakken International, who came to Crane, is just one of the North American Air Force private contractors, including Newport News' Air Tactical Advantage Company (ATAC), Las Vegas' Blue Sky Aviation Training, Pennsylvania's Coast Defense Company, Renault's Tactical Air Support Company and Mesa's Senior Ace Company.
These are private military companies, and are of the same nature as Horizon Security. These military companies are very different from traditional concepts of mercenaries. Their customers may be national departments and their affiliated military units, or international organizations, commercial enterprises, etc., providing them with professional knowledge and skills in the military field and various military security services.
This is different from mercenary organizations. In addition to combat personnel, employees of private military companies also have various types of technical personnel, legal personnel, expert consultants and even non-combatants such as research departments. The services they can provide far exceed the scope of traditional mercenaries.
Another participant present pointed to the map and said: "If Horizon Security International has this batch of equipment deployed in North Africa, it can almost go sideways. The military company focuses on the North African generation. If an emergency happens here in the future, we can contract the war mission to the company without personally taking action and letting them represent the war."
If we knew that the owner of Horizon Security was Luo Sheng, the big guys from Wujiao Building would be even more furious, let alone the approval of the weapons to sell them.
Until now, the United States has always regarded Horizon Security as its own, just like Drakken International and Blackwater.
"It's good, and the money that Drakken International has commissioned it to represent a battle will be sought out." Another participant said, obviously in favor of the purchase order submitted by Horizon Security.
Drakken International is active in the Middle East and once contracted $6 billion in agency war services at Woogle Building.
Those defense and trading companies in North America, such as Lockheed Mart, Thor, Boeing, and Lyle Binary, have received procurement calls from Horizon Security, and are now screaming.
The second-hand F-14 fighter is priced at about US$30 million per aircraft, while the F-16 fighter is cheap, and the new aircraft is also US$20 million per aircraft. The C-130 transport aircraft, which has no requirements for take-off runways, is about US$40 million per aircraft. On the contrary, the cheapest unit price is the most expensive, because it has the largest volume and the purchasing intention is as high as 100,000.
Especially retired second-hand fighter jets are troublesome to deal with. There are too many aircraft cemeteries in the United States, so why not buy them?
After deliberating and weighing the trade-offs, Wu Kok Building approved the purchase list of Horizon Security.
As for how the money from Horizon Company came from, the news is now in a sensation, of course I know.
But is that important? Not at all.
No one cares. The major arms dealers in North America have made profits. The Wu Kok Building also happily saw that a private military company was deployed there in North Africa, which was equivalent to indirectly realizing the military presence of the Magnesium Army in the local area. In the future, there will be emergency emergencies in the North African generation that need to be quickly intervened. It is enough to entrust it to Horizon Security Company for the agency to execute. In addition to the matter, it can also turn the blame to the private company to share the vast majority.
After approval, Horizon Security quickly signed purchase orders with major North American military-industrial companies such as Lockheed Martin, Lyle Binary, etc. The super-large order of nearly US$20 billion is expected to be delivered and used by around 2021. Lyle Binary will provide at least 40,000 swarm drones this year.
Before the equipment was delivered, Horizon Safety Company did not wait, and Air Force pilots had to start recruiting, including other combat employees, as well as recruiting more technicians, legal personnel, expert consultants, etc.
In short, Horizon Security is now growing with the international infamy with this huge $50 billion. With the acquiesce of the United States, those infamous reputations are nothing to do with.
Of course, the United States would acquiesce. Horizon Security Company purchased all magnesium-type equipment, which means that the 50 billion US dollars will basically flow into North America in the end. Another Horizon Security Company's shares are 70% "US capital".
No matter how you look at it, the biggest winners are North America.
Luo Sheng also took advantage of the situation to awaken all the sealed bionic people and release them, and sent them out except for staying on the 18th.
This huge US$50 billion has allowed Horizon Security to usher in a real major development for the first time. The previous steady development was at most just to gain a firm foothold in the field of private military companies.
