MTL - From Arms Dealer To King of War-Chapter 639 meeting of giants
Chapter 639 Gathering of giants
Joga’s simple and rude line-up test caused chaos in Baghdad.
The mercenaries who usually huddled in hotels or safe houses and did not go out gathered together in twos and threes, and finally formed a dozen teams to encircle and suppress the thirty or so surviving mercenaries.
As a show of good faith, even the Iraqi security forces were sidelined when those men arrived.
The professional teams supported by these big companies are well-equipped in a mess. When everyone is here, there will only be seven or eight drones in the sky above the rich area.
Where else could the attackers hide?
'Surrender'?
nonexistent!
I pretended I didn't see you waving the white flag, and went up and beat you into a pig's head, and then you were the unlucky ghost I fought and surrendered.
Joga chatted happily with a group of senior Iraqi officials in the villa, because there is no language problem, and because he is the proposer and implementer of this plan, Boss Qiao can talk better with those guys.
Steven is the kind of ambassador with a bit of refined style. His heart is full of business and politics, and the things that need to be weighed are very complicated.
Boss Joe is different. He is the kind of guy who can laugh and call you brother as long as he can cooperate, as long as you can ensure the smooth progress of my plan.
Because in the final analysis, what these people embezzled was Iraq’s own money, and they now represent the Iraqi government. It is legal for them to ask P·B to transfer the money to the designated account.
Some of you are unhappy with them, and you can force them to step down in many ways.
In fact, it is not difficult to bring down a high-ranking Iraqi official. As long as you can get evidence of their corruption, and then find someone who has the right to speak in the United States to say a few words, that guy has to step down.
The group of people represented by Salim who tipped off Boss Joe is not strong enough, but as long as they can get some power in the Iraqi Supreme Court, it is entirely possible to drive these greedy **** away.
But this has nothing to do with Boss Joe. He cannot get involved in the internal political struggle in Iraq. He is willing to cooperate with whoever is on stage.
Chatting and laughing, with the presence of representatives of several giant companies, the atmosphere of this twists and turns reception has completely changed.
The people who can represent a big company are all good people. Uninvited guests like them easily integrated into the reception, and then quickly overwhelmed the guests, making Ambassador Steven, Boss Joe and Eric the core of the reception.
On the contrary, those high-ranking Iraqi officials are actually the same in their eyes.
Because the people who can make Iraq pay big money will always come from Washington...
The Iraqi special forces need the approval of the US Congress to change their outfits. How can ordinary people think of such a fantasy thing?
The three or two million that these people embezzled is nothing in the eyes of representatives of these big companies.
Steven, who has a background in the State Council, Congress, and energy groups, is the most critical person!
Halliburton also has similar capabilities, so they have been lobbying people in Iraq to get their support, and then they turned back to Steven in the United States, trying to get the dominance of the $800 million.
As a result, Steven has been with Boss Joe for a long time, learned to use a gun to solve problems, and brought the situation to a life-and-death stage.
Now it’s all right. Halliburton didn’t get evidence of Steven’s attack on them. Instead, their people were caught alive. It’s easy for other companies to choose to stand in line under the offensive and defensive dislocation.
It’s all about making money, who is it not?
Although there was no wine at the reception, the atmosphere was really good. Qiaojia met a lot of people at once...
CACI Representative in Iraq Rich Barton.
Clint Wilson, Titan's representative for the Middle East.
Former Blackwater and current Xe company representative, Thomas Lynch.
Cubic Defense Tools Deputy General Manager, Zach Williams.
Triple Canopy General Manager, Sebastian Rosamo.
Deputy General Manager of Olive Safety Company...
General Manager of Northbridge Service Group...
Summer International Security Company Iraq Director…
Here, the first five companies are giant companies, and the last four companies are famous companies.
As we all know, half of the work of the US Department of Homeland Security is outsourced to CACI.
Titan Company and Triple Canopy started with the business of "thugs".
Titan mainly served the intelligence agencies, and the triple canopy served the Pentagon, and then they gradually developed into a huge military contracting company.
Xe company, which is the former Blackwater, not to mention...
This company took the blame of all the mercenary companies in Iraq, experienced several rounds of sanctions and fines from the US Congress, and finally survived strongly, which shows how awesome he is.
The name of Cubic Defense Tool Company sounds friendly, but they own their own communication satellites and are an important supplier of electronic systems for the US military.
They provide different levels of data connections and surveillance, search and rescue electronic equipment, radio communication equipment, etc. for different levels of US allies.
This company has been listed on the New York Stock Exchange since 1959, and many of its subsidiaries produce products that are familiar to military fans.
The remaining three companies, Olive Security, Northbridge Services, and Summer International Security, all developed together with Blackwater during the Iraq War. It is not too much to say that they are the top snakes in Iraq.
In addition to these large companies that are qualified to compete for the contract, there are also a group of representatives of second-level contractors at the reception.
Joga was entangled by a boss called 'Mozart Group'...
They came to the boss, and it was a retired Marine Corps colonel named Andy Miller.
'Mozart' is a typical middle-level mercenary company!
In this form of company, the founders usually have connections in the military, and then they can attract enough soldiers, find investment and have a stable organizational structure, and then start working hard to make money for the giants or the Pentagon.
Andy Miller was very restrained, but his eyes were surprisingly greedy!
His eyes lit up when he heard the 8-figure or even 9-figure contracts proposed by those giants when they exchanged views with Steven.
This kind of people are very useful, but Qiaojia thinks that they are not the best cooperation partners.
Because he only wants money, and Qiaojia’s bargaining chip to win over partners is often derivative interests.
Companies that do not have the ability to realize the 'derivative benefits' will not be able to make too much profit from Qiaojia, and will not satisfy middle-level companies like 'Mozart'.
This 'Mozart' is in a very awkward position. His scale is much larger than the 'Sea Hound' led by Dorian's instructors, but it is not as big as the giant's scale and ability to digest derivative benefits.
In Qiaojia, he doesn't like big meals, and he doesn't like snacks.
"Sir, I hope you can consider our 'Mozart'.
I currently have 500 loyal soldiers, if you need I can expand this number to 1000 at any time.
Mosul is a tough fight and I believe you will need loyal Marines to fight for you. "
Qiaojia personally has no repulsion towards 'greed', but he can't agree rashly.
War is a systematic project. With the participation of so many giants, Choga can completely transplant part of the American system to Iraq, because they themselves are military service providers of the US military.
At this time, 'manpower' is secondary. It is not too late to set up the system to ensure smooth operation, and then look at the amount of remaining funds before considering manpower.
The reality is that no matter which industry you are in, working hard and working hard are the most downstream.
If you want to make a lot of money, you can't just work hard. You must have irreplaceable key qualities in your hands.
Facing the attentive Andy Miller, Choga smiled and shook hands with him, and said: "There will be opportunities for cooperation, but the bidding for the military contract has not officially started. If you are interested, you can participate in the follow-up Meetings, listen to our requirements, and come up with solutions.
You have so many people, I believe you still have a chance. "
What Qiaojia said was quite sincere, but Andy Miller knew that it was just polite words. Facing so many giants, how could a company like him compete with the giants without special channels?
In the end, it can only be reduced to a second-level contractor, eating some leftovers from the giants.
Just when Andy Miller was about to try harder, a hand was put on his shoulder...
Ricky Barton of CACI said with a smile: "Andy, can you give me a moment to chat with Mr. Jackal?
I know a little bit about your situation, if you want a piece of the Iraqi pie, I suggest you come and talk to me tomorrow. "
Andy Miller froze for a moment, then smiled with a slightly stiff expression, nodded slightly, then turned and joined other chat groups.
Ricky Barton looked at Choga and said with a smile: "Jackal, I received calls from some old friends. People from Halliburton and MPRI are in Washington DC. You are in trouble..."
Joga looked at Rich Barton's old face, and he said with a smile: "It should be that they are in trouble. People from the American military service company attacked the American ambassador. Putting it in the media is 'treason'."
Rich Barton laughed and said: "You are right, but you may not know that these two companies have consortium backgrounds behind them. Halliburton has the support of JPMorgan Chase, so I feel that I can replace them." Steven."
While talking, Rich Barton looked at Choga who was completely unmoved, he smiled and shook his head and said: "Well, it seems that I can't scare you. To be honest, it was an old friend from MPRI who called me and told me I'm sending word that they want a peace.
As long as you release the captured MPRI people, in return they will provide you with compensation worth 5 million dollars..."
Joga looked at Rich Barton coldly, and said angrily: "They don't have to give it, but I want to see if the stockpiles sponsored by the United States will be seized!"
Ricky Barton was taken aback for a moment, then he laughed and said, "Jackal, what else do you not know?"
Joga looked at Rich Barton and shook his head and said, "Actually, I'm not interested in the $800 million in funding or contracting companies like you.
I'm more curious about whether CACI is involved, why do you think you can perform that contract instead of me? "
