  Chapter 603 Private Navy

  Joga hung up on Jamie, went back to the ward and lay down for a while...

  Boss Joe never thought about establishing a stronghold and power in Europe in the past, because there were too many restrictions, too many troubles, and most importantly, he had too many things to do on his hands.

  Jami’s so-called security contracts in Monaco are not for the royal family to replace the security guards, because that is impossible, and it is killing them.

  A weak princess who is always bullied is in charge of royal security, and the king should not be able to sleep.

  Jami means to let Boss Joe take advantage of this opportunity to win the 'security contract' of the small fishing village of Monaco.

  In fact, it is to establish a separate anti-terrorist team outside the Monaco police, or within the police system.

   Even if France is easy to talk to, they can also ask Monaco to sign a security defense contract with P·B.

  Jamie, the female financial shark, has been with P·B for a long time, and she has also begun to believe in the power of guns.

   She felt that having an armed force fully backing Charlene in Monaco would give her maximum autonomy.

  Joga agrees, but the small place of Monaco cannot support such a team, not because they have no money, but because they have no place.

   Choga pressed Albert II's head as if he could take advantage of the fire to rob him, and asked him to sign the agreement.

   But in the end, he himself had to go to France to find a place to establish a training base and recruit qualified instructors and soldiers, because this level of anti-terrorism force must not be made up with mercenaries.

  Once what happened in Monaco, isn't it so **** funny that P·B's operation needs to carry out missions across borders every time?

  Based on the hypocritical nature of the Europeans and France's determination to regard Monaco as its own territory, it would take too much time and energy to do this.

   Not worth it!

   Rather than waste this brain, think of other tricks!

Nice may have noticed that Qiao Jia's mood was a problem. She sat next to Qiao Jia with a pot of black tea, and then moved Qiao Jia's head to her lap, while gently pressing Boss Qiao's temple, One side said: "If you feel embarrassed, why don't you reject Jamie?

  Charlene's situation is good enough now..."

  Joga heard this, put his arms around Nice's waist, buried his head in her abdomen and rubbed it, then sighed and said: "If I didn't have the ability, I would definitely refuse, but now I have the ability, so I will be entangled.

  Some things are actually not a question of whether they are worth it or not, but whether I should do them or not.

  Since Charlene has been to Ndelai, as long as she can help P·B, she has always spared no effort.

  When friends help me, they do their best, and it makes me feel bad if I don’t do it when I get the chance.

  Nice, some things are not a simple exchange of interests. In my concept, treating sincerity requires giving back with sincerity. "

   As he spoke, Qiaojia rested his head on Nice's thigh, looked at the girl, and said helplessly, "I don't seem to be a qualified businessman like this..."

  Niss smiled when he heard this, reached out his hand to caress Qiaojia's slightly frowning brow, and said, "Then you should follow your thoughts, because in my impression, you are always right!"

   Talking about Nice looking at Choga’s grinning expression, she suddenly said: “Why do you have to sign with Monaco, we are Charlene’s friends, why can’t we sign with Charlene directly?

  Charlene is the princess of Monaco, she has the right to look for reliable security.

  Charlene needs a reliable armed force willing to protect her unconditionally as support, and we are it! "

   Qiaojia shook his head slightly and said, "You don't understand, what Charlene needs is a bargaining chip, not a simple security force.

  It is impossible for her to completely turn against the royal family of Monaco, so the chip needs to be supported by legal principles to make her stand up straight when facing the royal family.

   Simply arranging a group of soldiers for her as security is useless at all, only if those soldiers are forces within the Monaco police system and accept Charlene's command in name, this bargaining chip is valid..."

  Nice heard this, frowned and said, "Are you thinking too much?

  Why must it be a force within the police system?

  P·B is a mercenary company, a company can open a branch, why can't Charlene be the manager of P·B's Monaco branch?

  I read the news yesterday that the Monaco people took to the streets to protest against the inaction of the French and their disrespect for the protection agreement, so the French are preparing to increase their manpower nearby. Why can’t the branch of P·B establish a base near Monaco? "

   Hearing this, Choga suddenly sat up and slapped his head vigorously, then hugged Nice and kissed him and said, "If the French are in Afika, I can still find a way to get around, but it's impossible in Europe.

  But you are right, P·B is a company, and a company can open a branch.

  Charlene needs chips, and a branch of P·B is the best chip.

  Monaco cannot have its own army, but why can’t the princess use her private name to set up a maritime security company?

   There will be two to three offshore patrol ships, and another marine corps. Who in Monaco would dare to stab her? "

  Joga rubbed his temples while talking about divergent thinking, and said: "In this way, the initial investment in the establishment of the company cannot be paid by the Monaco royal family. We need to pay for the patrol ship ourselves, and second-hand ones are fine.

   With the patrol ship, just by escorting the oil tankers departing from Tobruk through the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden every month, the maintenance cost can be earned back and the people can be raised.

  The company was established and is negotiating with the royal family of Monaco, asking them to pay for the offshore defense work, which just meets the needs of the people in Monaco for a sense of security, because they believe in the heroic princess more. "

   Qiaojia thought about it, and found that there is indeed room for maneuvering in this way!

  Before, what he had always thought was not to pay for it himself, and let the royal family of Monaco, who made mistakes, pay for Charlene to seek bargaining chips.

   This is of course difficult, and there are many places that require mediation and trade-offs, which is very troublesome.

  But now change the way of thinking, let Charlene organize her own armed forces, and ask Monaco for a 'protection fee' instead...

   Once the order is changed, the nature will change drastically.

   In principle, the princess cannot engage in this business, but now the Monaco royal family has something to ask for, of course they can talk about anything.

   What's more, the princess formed her own fleet to protect the safety of Monaco, which is also to quell public grievances for the royal family.

   Besides, global trade is still dominated by maritime trade so far, and whoever has the biggest fist on the high seas will be the most powerful.

  Now all cargo ships need to have armed security on board when they pass through certain sea areas, because this is required by some insurance companies.

  It is similar to the deductible clause, if you don’t follow their rules, the insurance company can activate the deductible clause if something goes wrong.

   Patrol ships with a displacement of less than 2,000 tons and no missiles are of course not seen by any major country, but isn’t it appropriate for patrol ships to fight pirates?

  A patrol ship can **** 3~5 cargo ships through the Gulf of Aden at one time. Isn’t it natural to charge a fee?

   This kind of business is not familiar to Qiaojia, but at this stage, Huaguo's freighters and oil tankers are ready-made customers.

  A ship charges you 200,000 euros at a time, is it too much? Not too much, right?

  The addition of multiple incomes can offset the fleet's expenditure. At that time, Charlene will have a bargaining chip, and P·B will rely on the port of Tobruk, and will have an extra Mediterranean sea force.

   This thing can be done no matter how you look at it, the only problem is where can I buy a patrol ship? And where to hire so many retired navies?

  Thinking of this, Choga took out the phone and called Eric...

  This man used to be an actuary who handled the US military budget, so he has a better understanding of this aspect.

  Eric was quickly on the phone…

   "Boss, is it over with you? Why can you come to America?

  Congress is about to pass an interim military budget for Iraq. Ambassador Steven estimates that he can take the lead in that budget. We have many things to negotiate.

   This is a big cake, many people are eyeing it, some things must be confirmed by you. "

   Qiaojia was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "I still have something to do, so let's wait for a while.

  I’m calling to ask you if you have any suitable patrol boats to recommend, second-hand ones are fine.

  I want to open a maritime branch, and I need a few reliable ships that can deter pirates and some malicious forces. "

  Eric was taken aback by Boss Joe's whim, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Boss, buying a boat is very simple, how about the retired 'Hamilton' class patrol boat?

   Probably need 40-50 million US dollars.

  You have to be willing to pay and sign a series of non-disclosure agreements with the American military. I can even let them keep the fire control system and radar system. These are all new systems that were installed during the modification around 2000.

   Granted, they aren't particularly advanced these days, and the hulls are older, but they're definitely worth the price. "

   Speaking Eric paused, and said: "Boss, I don't think you should care about the ship now, you should care about Iraq now.

  As long as the Iraqi industry takes shape, it will not be a problem if you want to buy a ship.

  According to Steven and I’s estimate, as long as the oil fields of US-funded energy companies in Iraq can be revitalized, the annual gross profit of tens of billions can make many people give way to you.

   Now you can only buy small boats, but it is not impossible for you to buy better ones by then. "

   Choga was amused by Eric's reverse PUA...

   "Better? Even if I can afford it, can I afford it?

  I’m a little confused about the Hamilton class, can this stuff really be sold to me? "

  Eric heard this, smiled and said: "Boss, that is a decommissioned ship, don't be intimidated by the naval maintenance budget announced by the US military.

  According to my understanding, if a Hamilton-class patrol ship does not carry out combat missions in a year, but only performs patrol and defense missions, the maintenance cost of the crew and equipment will not exceed 10 million US dollars.

  If you don’t want the United States, you will also sell it to other people. Currently, the Philippines is one of the buyers.

  The sale and purchase of warships of this level requires the approval of Congress, but as long as you start the Iraq project, Congress will never set up obstacles for you.

  Even if the Philippines spends 100 million US dollars, it can only buy an empty shell that can run on the sea, and you are different! "

  Joga still couldn’t get around Iraq when he heard it. He said helplessly, “If I start the Iraqi project soon, can I get a discount for buying ships?”
