America’s Big Hero

The overall framework and rectification process on the umbrella side are all done, and the rest is much easier to handle!

It's just that the HR of the personnel department of the umbrella is quite special, and it is impossible to dig it casually from other companies. What is required is not only the professionalism of HR, but also a good understanding of military affairs.

Ordinary HR is bound to be unaccustomed!

Sean looked at Little John, "I still need your help to find information from the retired military officers over the years. Is there anyone who worked in HR after retiring? Even if the work experience is not so rich, HR is easy to learn. As for the military, there is no way to understand it without military experience.”

"I'll try." Little John agreed.

In addition to this matter, Little John also suggested that it is best to cooperate with the military and explore some experience during the company's reorganization.

This thing cannot be seen from the outside, you must actually explore it to know the depth, shallowness, thickness, and thickness.

Things were settled for the time being, and the next day, Sean went to Washington with Little John and Weinberg.

In the secret villa that Norris was ordered to buy, Sean once again met several senior military officials who had dinner together last time.

Regarding the garrison mission during the construction of the Moroccan Naval Air Force Base, it was just a mention, and no one took it seriously.

The military didn't spend their own money, and Xiao En didn't care about the profit.

Just grind it in.

After a meal, Little John smiled and talked about his retirement life, which was tacitly understood by everyone.

After the meal, Sean got up to leave. Of course, Norris had other arrangements for the old men, which was enough for them to be happy.

...

"What?" Sean looked at Lorraine in disbelief.

"Call, Gaddafi." Lorraine nodded, indicating that Sean heard correctly.

"Why is he calling me?" Sean wondered, but still picked up.

"Mr. Xiao En, I'm very glad to talk to you on the phone. I think you know who I am." Gaddafi's voice came from the phone.

Sean raised his eyebrows, hey, I know what it has to do with you introducing yourself?

"Of course, who in the world doesn't know the name of Mr. Gaddafi!" Sean complimented casually.

Card Dazuo’s hearty laughter came from the phone, and Sean was about to ask, where did Card Dazuo get his phone number, but he heard Card Dazuo’s voice coming from the phone again, “Mr. Xiao En, I’m calling to Please have a meal, go to Libya, I believe, we will have a pleasant dinner."

What Sean heard was a black line on his forehead. Are you sick? Should I go all the way to have a meal with you?

I know there must be something wrong with Ka Dazuo, but you can just say it, why are you talking so much nonsense?

Do I have time to play around with you?

However, Ka Dazuo’s next sentence made Xiao En agree, “I heard that Mr. Xiao En is a pure businessman, and he would not dare to set foot in Libya because of the tense relationship between the United States and us.”

Heh, the corner of Sean's mouth twitched, "Of course, capital is free and has no borders. I will go to Libya as soon as possible!"

After hanging up the phone, Sean cursed in a low voice, mentally ill, and then gave Lorraine an order: "Send me the latest information on Card Dazuo and Libya."

Lorraine went to prepare, and Sean was not idle. Today he will go to the White House with Weinberg to visit President Reagan.

In addition to the task of covering the feet of the building, the government's task umbrella must also be fought for. Now that the military contractor market is developing rapidly, time must be rushed.

The appointment time with Reagan is in the afternoon, which means that Sean and Weinberg are here. If someone else wants to meet the president of the world's largest country one day in advance, what a fart!

As soon as Lorraine left, Monroe opened the door and walked in. He came from New York in a hurry, and Sean didn't know that he could stay in the United States for a few days, so he had to hurry up to deal with official business.

In addition to the business on the umbrella side, the most important thing is the construction of the credit card system on the Monroe side.

Like Katzenberg's film company, Sean didn't have the energy to manage it at all. He just heard that "Goodfellas" has been released, and Michelle Yeoh and Maggie Cheung's movies are about to be released.

Sean guessed that he didn't have time to go to any premiere.

"The credit card machine system has been laid smoothly, and the system server is provided by IBM, and the price is reasonable." Monroe began to report as soon as he sat down, "In terms of data transmission, we have cooperated with six telephone companies backwards. At present, there is no telephone company that can build a network across the United States, and can only choose the largest service provider in each state."

"IBM thinks there is no problem. Although the data is cut, but the summary problem, you can use the intermediate method to set up a base point on the east and west coasts, and conduct data exchange every three days. Only a small number of people can really fly east and west. This kind of people should be the best customers, even if the card explodes, it will not be a big problem.”

"We have estimated the bad debt rate, which is acceptable."

"What's the problem?" Sean asked with a smile.

"The merchant pre-installed the card machine!" Monroe said in a deep voice: "Once we officially start handling credit cards, then the merchant must have a card reader when customers use it."

"But the problem now is that we have not officially withdrawn from the credit card swiping business. This is still a new concept in the world. Even VISA is only used in hotels and business affairs, which is very different from us. Even so, ordinary people have not listened to it. Pass VISA."

"In this case, merchants are not willing to spend a lot of money to install a credit card machine!"

Sean frowned, "That is to say, without credit card machines, we can't open credit cards, and if credit cards are not popular, merchants are unwilling to install card machines!"

"Yes, endless loop!" Monroe said in a deep voice.

"The promotion department can't do anything about it!" Sean asked with a sullen face.

"Inviting celebrities to advertise, coupled with the new concept of large-scale publicity in newspapers and TV stations, let the whole United States know, and then promote it, but I don't think this will work, the effect will not be very good, and the effect will be very slow, and it will not solve the fundamental problem. The problem of endless loops, when the trend just started, it may work well, but soon the gust of wind will be diluted by other news, and then there will be nothing left." Monroe said with a frown.

Sean nodded, he also thought so, but how to solve this endless loop is really difficult!

This is not like later generations, when everyone knew the concept of swiping cards.

concept, concept...

Xiao En muttered, and there was an idea in his mind.

After waving his hand to silence Monroe, Sean leaned on the sofa, covered his eyes with one hand and began to meditate.

In fact, although the idea of ​​the promotion department is old-fashioned, old-fashioned also means insurance, with a high lower limit.

Just change it up a bit!

Moreover, you can't just rely on advertising, but you can also add promotional techniques.

"I have an idea, so let's go to Hollywood tonight and talk to Katzenberg." After a long while, Sean smiled and said: "I have to go to the White House later, there is no way, the poor, Work hard."

Monroe opened his mouth, and originally wanted to say, 'Okay, I'll wait here', but Sean choked him and coughed on the spot.

Versailles or something, I hate people the most!

...

During lunch, Lorraine sent over information about Cardano and Libya in recent years.

None of this is classified information, but that's enough.

In 1980, the United States declared Libya a "state sponsor of terrorism" and closed its embassy in Libya.

In 1981, U.S. Navy aircraft shot down two Libyan planes and the two countries severed diplomatic relations.

In 1986, then U.S. President Ronald Reagan ordered the cessation of economic and trade relations with Libya and the freezing of Libyan assets in the United States. Since then, military conflicts have occurred between the United States and Libya.

In the early morning of April 15, 1986, the United States dispatched 3 aircraft carriers, 34 other ships and hundreds of aircraft including 18 F-111 fighter-bombers to carry out a sudden air strike code-named "Golden Canyon" on Libya. Large-scale ultra-low-altitude bombing of the capital Tripoli and the important port of Benghazi, Libya lost a total of 14 aircraft, 5 radar stations and more than 700 casualties.

Suffering repeated blows from the United States, according to normal logic, Libya will be very nervous, but if the Chairman of the Organization of African Unity, the King of Kings, Card Dazuo bows his head, then he is not Card Dazuo!

Even under the economic blockade and military attack of the United States, Card Dazuo still kept clamoring internationally, going to the United Nations and going to Africa University. Reagan was very distressed by this. He is intimidating to others.

In addition to challenging the United States, Card Dazuo is still fighting against France!

Chad, one of the poorest countries in the world, fell into a civil war within a few years after its independence in 60 years. In 1983, Card Dazzo ordered to intervene in the Chad civil war and occupied the northern part of Chad in the name of supporting the northern rebels. forces were driven out.

Of course, this does not delay Libya's oil exports to France, Italy, Spain and other western European countries.

Wars are wars, and business is business.

In August of the same year, the French began to strongly support the southern Chadian government forces in establishing a defense line in the central region to resist Card Dazo's attack.

After the U.S. bombed Card Dazo last year, Chad's president, Hésén Habré, saw an opportunity and launched a counter-offensive with French support.

Interestingly, the data shows that the war was originally a stalemate, but in the first two months, Habré saw the PFOS supported by Sean use a pickup truck as a means of transportation to stir up wind and rain on the sand embankment defense line, beating the Moroccan army and complaining. After a while, I was greatly inspired.

With the help of France, a large number of Toyota vehicles were imported through Cameroon, and anti-aircraft machine guns, small mortars, rocket launchers and other weapons were mounted in the rear body to start mobile warfare.

As expected, Dazuo Kazuo complained endlessly, the armored force couldn't beat the Toyota team...

Back and forth!

So... "Is Ka Dazuo in a hurry?" Xiao En looked at the information, his face dumbfounded, "He didn't ask me to help him solve this 'Toyota Tactic'!"

Lorraine shrugged. She also thought it might be so.

"No, shouldn't Toyota pay me a endorsement fee?" Sean suddenly raised his head and said, "Damn it, now Toyota is famous, at least in Africa!"

Lorraine ignored Sean's strange thoughts, and asked instead: "Do you have a way to deal with this Toyota tactic you created?"

"It's not easy!" Sean rubbed his chin.

Toyota pickups are small, light, fast, with low engine noise and low requirements for gasoline standards. If they are replaced with khaki paint and thrown in the desert, they will be difficult to find at a little distance.

Moreover, due to the low power and the hot desert temperature during the day, the temperature difference between the engine and exhaust pipe position and the outside world is relatively small, even if it is an infrared-guided individual air defense weapon Sam-7 or Stinger, it is difficult to complete the lock.

Even if the lock is really completed and the shot is right, what is the price of the Sam-7, what is the price of the Stinger, and what is the price of a broken pickup!

As for any RPG, don't even think about it. Even if you want to use an RPG to hit a Mercedes-Benz pickup within the range, you can only pray to God.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the fighting parties are limited to Africa.

Change to any of the five big gangsters, what kind of bullshit Toyota Tactics, a special operations team, and teach them how to behave in minutes.

"Magic is the only thing that can defeat magic. In fact, there is no way at all." Sean said after pondering for a while.

"You really have a way?"

Sean is a standard tactical retreat, what is a military expert.JPG

"Libya and the United States are at odds, and the White House has not announced the resumption of business relations with Libya. You are violating government orders." Lorraine reminded.

(ˉ▽￣～) Cut~~!

What a shitty government order!

Sean doesn't care, whoever said that I traded with Card Dazuo, it's clearly Morocco!

After lunch and a short rest, Sean and Weinberg went straight to the White House in the afternoon.

After the military order was obtained, Sean also had to take the government order.

After chatting for a while in the president's office, Sean directly expressed his interest.

The current agency responsible for protecting U.S. officials traveling abroad is the Diplomatic Security Service.

(PS: Veteran Fast and Furious driver Luke Hobbs (played by Dwayne Johnson) is an agent of DSS)

The Diplomatic Security Service is the pioneer of the US Central Intelligence Agency and the Department of Internal Security. It was established after World War I, but its responsibilities are very messy. It is responsible for the analysis of international threats related to US interests, information security technology, anti-terrorism, security technology investigations, and the protection of citizens. , property and information security, providing a safe and reliable environment for the foreign policy actions of the U.S. government, foreign intelligence agencies investigating the activities of the U.S. State Department, assisting in the arrest of criminals who have fled into the U.S., and investigating State Department employees, applicants and contractors Businesses do background checks.

There are many things in charge, and the forces are relatively scattered, and most of them are civilian personnel. The real combatants are called MSD teams, and there are very few people.

It is about a 10-person department, and 9 leaders see 1 person digging a hole.

However, the scale of the department is already very large. If it wants to expand, whether it is the CIA or the FBI, the six major intelligence agencies are all opposed.

Why don't I give you a department in charge, okay?

The protected persons, whether they are embassies or visiting government officials, are also dissatisfied. There are too few actual combat-capable security personnel. For these American officials who are going to do bad things outside, the safety cannot be fully guaranteed.

And the cooperation method Weinberg designed for Xiao En is that he is only responsible for providing DSS with full-time combat security personnel, obeying the command of DSS staff, and absolutely not interfering with the work that DSS is responsible for. Instead, the most dangerous part of the work undertook.

Well, it's the one out of 10 who works.

Therefore, when Sean mentioned it, Reagan agreed to bring it up at the next congressional meeting without hesitation.

I believe that even people from the donkey party will not object!

After all, Donkey Party officials also have to visit frequently. No one would provoke a doctor when they were sick, nor would anyone provoke the security personnel responsible for their own safety.

Most importantly, this proposal is bound to be welcomed by the FBI and CIA, which is tantamount to fundamentally reducing the possibility of DSS expansion.

And the DSS may not strongly oppose it. After all, it is only the outsourcing of combat personnel, which does not affect the absolute majority of the leaders... Ahem, civilian personnel, the most important thing is that the funding will not be reduced, but will be greatly increased.

After all, it costs money to hire so many security personnel!

The fee for the umbrella is not low.

It's arguably the perfect proposal, in everyone's interest.

As for government spending, that's never been an issue!

This is the value of the former Secretary of Defense. The cooperation plan he designed with the government is perfect. Weinberg’s initial budget is 100 million per year. If it is not enough, then continue to add more. The United States has never done anything to protect the safety of government personnel. stingy.

DSS doesn't skimp on spending either.

The whole world is the same, the budget is 100 million, but at the end of the year, only 60 million is spent, and the budget allocated by the government in the second year must be reduced to 60 million!

But if 150 million is spent, the budget for the second year will inevitably increase, even if it will not increase to 1.5, at least it will not be reduced.

This is called surprise spending at the end of the year... ahem.

Therefore, Sean is not worried at all that DSS is reluctant to hire people, they will spend the last penny, and Sean will not be stingy, and the benefits that should be given will not be less.

He is already planning to hire a group of people from the senior retired DSS.

Of course, this matter is not urgent, now Xiao En wants to talk about Ka Dazuo.

Umbrella is also a private military contractor supported by the military. Of course, it must maintain communication with the military and the White House.

"Car Dazuo!" Reagan was very surprised that this guy would think of asking Sean to solve the problem.

With a sneer, Reagan said: "When he was young, Kadazuo was a passionate young man. His family was very poor and his parents were illiterate. But when he was young, he insisted on studying and went to university. You know that in the 1950s, Libya Is the literacy rate?"

"But since the overthrow of Libya, Card Dazuo has gradually become arrogant. He even confiscated the assets of the United States in Libya. Your Rockefeller family has suffered heavy losses because of Card Dazuo." Reagan said with a smile.

Sean shrugged and said nothing.

"Right now, Ka Dazuo has completely forgotten himself. Our attitude towards Libya is definitely opposed. You have to understand this."

"Of course." Sean nodded, and then said: "I have followed the developments in Libya before, and I think it would be a good thing for Libya if Card Dazuo withdraws his troops from Chad and restores the former border. The so-called occupation Northern Chad is of no value other than satisfying the needs of Card Dazzo himself, who is very happy."

"He hasn't dealt with the opposition forces in Libya yet!"

"So, I think it makes sense for the United States to back up the Cardinals and keep them at war with Chad on the border."

"It's like the imperial cemetery completely sinking old Maozi's feet. Delaying Card Dazuo in northern Chad, while supporting their domestic opposition forces, making Card Dazuo overwhelmed and overwhelmed by himself, is the only way to combat his arrogance and make him bow his head! "

"I can't predict the chain reaction that will occur after Card Dazuo gets stuck in the quagmire. In this regard, it still depends on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to judge." Xiao En raised his eyebrows with a smile.

After thinking about it for a while, Reagan realized that this matter was highly operable. The two countries had long-standing grievances. As early as 1970, Card Dazuo announced the withdrawal of the US military base near the capital Tripoli.

Afterwards, Gaddafi insisted on holding 143 tons of gold reserves, intending to create a pan-African currency to counteract the current global dollar system. At the same time, he used the huge oil production to interfere with the US petrodollar plan. Excessive export of oil is also one of the reasons why the current oil supply exceeds demand and oil prices drop.

Of course OPEC guys are oversupplying...

That's why Reagan ordered the air strikes on Libya. The small country is not big, and the harm is not small.

I don't know what Ka Dazuo is thinking, he is about to wrestle with the United States...

Of course, Card Dazuo did make the United States very uncomfortable, and the United States found that it could only compromise if it could not kill Card Dazuo and could not launch a large-scale war of aggression.

First: There are old men who are eyeing it. Second: The price of oil has reached a historical low. The oil tycoons have no motivation to push the United States to launch a war. Why are they grabbing Libyan oil fields?

Just to reduce production? !

Even if production is reduced, several Middle Eastern countries, including Shadamu and YL, will only increase production to fill the gap.

Oil prices still can't rise.

Therefore, similar to YL, the United States has been trying to improve relations with Card Dazuo.

If Ka Dazuo can be forced to bow his head this time, and the two sides re-establish diplomatic relations without causing trouble for the United States, Reagan will have made remarkable achievements!

"Do you have any suggestions?" Reagan asked Sean with a smile after thinking for a moment, asking Sean for some benefits.

This is the United States, there is no country or people, only transactions!

"As we all know, the United States never interferes in the affairs of other countries!" Sean said nonsense solemnly: "The United States is very sympathetic to what happened to the Chadians, and will support Chad with a sum of money, but how the Chadians use it is their business. "

"Chad is too poor, they have no industrial capacity, and in order to fight against the brutal Card Dazo, and to achieve national unity, they can only buy large quantities of arms, and as an umbrella for private military contracts, they can sell arms to Chad. "

"Of course there is no problem with the United States. However, Chad is a traditional power of France. It uses francs. Almost all weapons are purchased from France. Given your relationship with France..." Reagan shook his head with a smile.

Sean:! ! !
