Firepower is king

There were a total of fifteen trucks, four were completely damaged and two were slightly damaged. Most of the cargo inside was saved, so most of the cargo was recovered in this operation. If the plane had not dropped the bomb too early, Then this operation can really be regarded as a perfect operation.

But Salah is already very satisfied with this result. After all, you can't ask too much for something that was lost and recovered.

Salah's attitude did not make Gao Guang feel much joy because his thigh was gone.

The thigh he had just hugged was pulled away. Not to mention that Gao Guang was very depressed at this result, Tom was equally depressed, even more depressed than Gao Guang.

But it was Dawson who was most depressed.

Dawson and Tom don't have many opportunities to cooperate. They have to deal with Hank almost every day. Most of the business received by the War Group comes from the military, and Hank can connect with Dawson on many tasks. , so Dawson lost a very important partner.

Everything is a business. Gao Guang and Tom lost some opportunities to make extra money, but Dawson lost a long-term supplier, or a long-term buyer.

"Hank and I had a great time working together and we trusted each other. Many things were simple when he was here. Now that he's gone, I have to find a new partner."

In the ordinary house where they first met, Tom rarely showed his true colors again. Now it was just him and Gao Guang, so they could seize the time to reconcile the accounts.

"Let's settle the expenses first. This is what's left after deducting all expenses. Each of us has half, 1.5 million. After deducting the money laundering fees required for transfer payment, we still have 1.4 million per person. "

Gao Guang took out all the cash he got. He seemed to have the fortune of passing money now. The money was gone just as he was turning it around in his hands. If you put it into words, the average daily turnover was over one million US dollars, but the money that fell into his hands was Well, there is basically nothing left.

“Is money laundering so expensive?”

Gao Guang didn't doubt that Tom would deduct a handling fee from the money, he simply wanted to know why money laundering was so expensive.

Tom breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Transfer to underground money dealers, all in cash, expedited, only charging a 5% handling fee. It is already very cheap. This is the price in Baghdad, and then the military people will take the money after receiving it." Large sums of cash are handed over to underground money dealers. The underground money dealers convert it into legal income and deposit it into their personal accounts. They charge at least a 20% handling fee, but the money becomes legal income without having to pay taxes. That's what those people in the Pentagon do.

It seems that I accidentally learned some great secret. It turns out that this is how the American military plays.

"So that's it."

"Of course, the ordinary soldiers stationed in Iraq have little luck, but the big shots in the Pentagon who are stationed in Iraq will not be able to make money after staying for a while. It is much easier for those in the military to make money than us, especially in the first few days. In 2017, the military had to pay 50% to smuggled oil, and they made a lot of money!"

We have worked together several times now, and both parties feel that they can trust each other, not to mention that it is still a secret of the Pentagon. Tom said it without any psychological burden.

Tom smacked his lips and said: "Now Hank is going to be transferred, which is not good news for us. His successor is not one of our own, and we have to find a suitable replacement slowly. From the perspective of our business in Baghdad, It will be greatly affected. During this period of time, you have noticed that there is no suitable business for us, no matter how big or small, the key is to be reliable and safe, especially you must be strict with your mouth."

Gao Guang said cautiously: "Aren't you going to be promoted too? There shouldn't be more business."

Tom smiled, but he immediately shrugged and said: "With great power, there will not be more opportunities to make extra money, because there will be more people watching me, so I need to be more careful."

While talking, Tom looked at a surveillance screen, and a car appeared on the screen. He quickly said: "Someone is coming, it should be Dawson."

Sure enough, Dawson stuck his head out of the car and waved his hand, then got out of the car, opened the courtyard door himself, and walked in quickly.

Dawson had a sad look on his face. After he saw the highlight, he first pointed at the highlight, and then said helplessly: "You made too much noise last night, why didn't you tell me in advance. "

I don’t know if it was an accusation, but Dawson sat down on the chair, and then he sighed and said: "I just contacted Hank, and he can't come. Now he is in a meeting, and then he will take a military plane to return home immediately to report on his work. and accept new appointments.”

Dawson and Hank have the closest connection, even closer than Tom, so Tom immediately asked: "What department did he go to?"

"Still with the Joint Special Operations Command, he was promoted to the rank of colonel and went to Afghanistan to temporarily serve as the second commander of the Special Operations Command in Afghanistan. After he becomes familiar with the local situation, he will become the top commander in Afghanistan."

Gao Guang's eyes widened because he only knew that Hank was from the Pentagon, but he didn't know that Hank was from the Joint Special Operations Command.

The Pentagon is usually used as a proxy for the U.S. military, but the Joint Special Operations Command is an extremely special unit. Strictly speaking, this unit often does not execute orders from the Pentagon, but direct orders from the president.

Also, people in the Joint Special Operations Command usually do not wear military uniforms. They also have their own intelligence units. They overlap with the CIA in many responsibilities, but their responsibilities are quite different from those of the Department of Homeland Security. But strangely, the Joint Special Operations Command The relationship between the Ministry and the CIA is actually quite harmonious.

That's right, that's right.

No wonder Hank never wears a military uniform. No wonder he has a close relationship with the Army, Army Aviation, and Air Force. You must know that in the U.S. military, there cannot be any deep hatred between the various services, but they are definitely not harmonious. After all, they are all defrauding military expenditures from the congress master, and they are enemies in the same industry.

Dawson scratched his head and said with a distressed look on his face: "I don't know the person who will replace Hank. Now I have several tasks that may face re-examination. Although this should be a problem that Danny is worried about, I am in trouble because It’s not me who’s working here.”

The three people sighed in unison.

Tom said helplessly: "The CIA doesn't get much extra money."

"I can't do anything if you have extra money over there. The CIA is a small but sophisticated business. This is not our main business."

After Dawson finished speaking, he looked at Gao Guang, and then said with a helpless expression: "Originally, this business could be given to Mad Dog, but the noise you made last night was too great. If we have this kind of business again in the future, Mad Dog will probably It can’t be done.”

Gao Guang immediately said: "Why?"

"Why? Can't you figure it out?"

Dawson looked quite angry. He waved his right hand and said: "We just reached an agreement with you to share the name Mad Dog, but now you and Hank bombed Mosul, and you dispatched a company of Rangers. , dispatched 12 helicopters from the Army Air Force, and used two reconnaissance planes from the Air Force, four F16s, and two F15s. You could just use special attacks to recover the goods for Salah. Why bomb? Why? bombing!"

Gao Guang said in shock: "You know? How do you know? And aren't there only two F15s? Uh, wait, how did the four F16s come about? Isn't there only one reconnaissance plane?"

"How do I know..."

Dawson was very annoyed. He waved his hand and said, "There are many well-informed people. Which big company here doesn't have deep ties with the military. Last night, the Air Force sent fighter jets into the sky, and we started asking if there were any big business opportunities. Then, we learned that a guy named Mad Dog conducted this operation to recover the stolen arms for Salah."

Tom said quietly: "I told you, don't let Hank get too crazy."

Gao Guang was a little confused because he didn't know what the current situation meant.

If you ask a newly graduated high school student to work as a manager in a Fortune 500 company, that's probably how Gao Guang feels now.

Either he is extremely proud to the point of arrogance, or he is completely confused.

Dawson breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The name Mad Dog is too loud now. How can we use it to take on tasks that require confidentiality and fame? How can I use the name Mad Dog to lead a few people to perform a task? The employer gives How much is the right amount? How dare the employer quote? For a task worth a million dollars, if he doesn’t pay two to three million, how dare he ask for it?”

Tom nodded and said, "Hank just has too many resources at his disposal and likes to do everything in a big way. That's why he rose so quickly."

"It's a pity that he is leaving today. It's so sudden that we don't even have the chance to see him off."

"Well, there is no need to see him off. You should have less contact with him in the future. If people know that he has too close contacts with people in Baghdad, it will be detrimental to his future promotion."

After finishing speaking, Tom sighed: "Although Hank likes to make everything big, he is still very careful."

Gao Guang felt that it was contradictory. Just now Dawson said that everyone knew what he did last night, but now he said that Hank was very careful in doing things, so this was not a contradiction.

"If he was so careful, why did anyone know what we did last night?"

Dawson whispered: "The famous thing is that you are not him. Some secrets are secrets, but some secrets are not secrets. In order to protect the common interests of us people, everyone will be very careful to maintain this open secret. Hank is our As a partner, he is not the only one in the Special Operations Command. Of course, other companies must also have regular partners, so everyone should understand this tacitly."

Tom whispered: "Zhengke has legitimate income channels. Of course, the military must also have military income channels. As for us, we are in pity. We can only rely on pitiful funds. Now the funds are still provided by the Department of Homeland Security." Most of them were taken away.”

I wanted to ask Hank to come to this secret safe house to meet him and give him a farewell, but since Hank couldn't come, it had to end like this.

Tom stood up and said to Dawson and Gao Guang: "We won't talk today. See you if you have something to do. Mad Dog, you can keep an eye on Salah's affairs. When he comes back, contact me and we can make up for yesterday's losses." .”

All three people stood up. Dawson sighed again and said: "Think about the candidates to replace Hank. Tom, this is the most convenient thing for you to do. Help me pay attention to people who have not established fixed cooperative relationships with other companies." , I won’t let your busy work go in vain.”

"Okay, that's it. Goodbye. I'm going to stay here to deal with some things, so I won't see you off."

Dawson looked at Gao Guang and said, "Come back to the company with me and I'll talk to you about something."

Gao Guang thought for a moment and said, "Are you in a hurry? If not, wait until I come back to find you. I have to go to the military base hospital to pick someone up first."

There is no guarantee for today’s update time. Let me tell you, please don’t worry. I am also afraid of sudden death, so I have to either change my medicine, exercise, or find a way to fall asleep.
