Chapter 1757 Another Day of Overtime

The so-called military-industrial complex is easy to understand. It refers to the major weapons manufacturers, that is, arms dealers.

The military, of course, represents the interests of the U.S. military, including the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Energy that develops nuclear weapons, and the space agency. They are also regarded as members of the "military" because they are involved in national defense. Of course, the logistics of D~L~A are indispensable. The existence of the butler.

But no matter how it changes, the core of the two major themes of military and industry will not change.

Yang Cheng didn't want to drink at first, but Gai Wen inspired him a new way of thinking, so he decided to sit down and have a good chat. In his opinion, Gai Wen has already figured out both sides of the military and industry, so that he can be like a fish in water, and he can control between the two cores. Cheng Huan.

In this regard, he is a senior, so naturally he should not be ashamed to ask.

"How did you manage to walk between arms dealers without being targeted by any party?"

Gavin took a sip of his wine, he enjoyed the time when someone was drinking and chatting with him, "I want to correct you, it's not that I haven't been targeted, I've been targeted all the time, until now D~L~A let you treat me Killing hands are also because they think you are a good substitute~"

Yang Cheng muttered, "A substitute?"

"Yes, replace me! Become a new buffer zone~"

Yang Cheng was thoughtful, "You mean, both D~L~A and the arms dealer need a third party to buffer them, so as to avoid direct conflict between the two sides?"

Gavin gave a thumbs up, "You are really smart~"

He took a sip of his wine, grinned and said, "First of all, you have to understand that due to legal and political reasons, the aircraft, tanks, warships and other weapons and equipment produced by these companies can only be sold to the governments of various countries. Of course, the US government is the first First priority, private individuals are not allowed to buy and sell high-end weapons, and companies must first obtain the consent of the US ZF to sell these weapons and equipment to foreign customers. Only by playing games can we ensure that the basic order is not chaotic~”

Yang Cheng nodded to express his understanding.

Gavin added, "However, such regulations greatly restrict the source of profit for arms dealers. In other words, it cannot allow them to maximize the profits of their products. Human nature is greedy, and arms dealers are even more so. They want to make more money.

The U.S. defense budget is hundreds of billions of dollars each year. Excluding headcount and daily operating expenses, how much is used for R&D and product procurement? At least half of it, but there are so many arms dealers in the United States. If one family divides a piece, no matter how big the cake is divided into their own hands, it is not enough for a grown-up man to squeeze between his teeth. Maybe billions or tens of billions of big projects are enough for some medium-sized Manufacturers of small arms have had it for years,

But for top giants such as Lockheed Martin and Boeing, it is just a must-eat dish for every meal, and it is far from enough to be full.

How to do it? If we don't have enough food at home, we have to go out to find food to eat, and we can't make the family dissatisfied. There is room and necessity for people like us! "

After a pause, Gavin continued, "Of course, our existence is actually illegal, so if we want to make money for the arms dealer, we must first make our existence legal.

How can we make it legal?

Naturally, we have to start from the Congress and even the White House. As long as they nod, we will be legal~

Many folk critics believe that Congress was kidnapped by arms dealers. This is neither right nor wrong. The relationship between the two is indeed very deep, but they are not kidnapped. They need each other. How to describe it is a bit like Stockholm Syndrome. In the beginning, the arms dealers did 'kidnap' the congressmen, and then 'kidnapped' the Congress, but after a long time, everyone got used to this way of getting along and began to cooperate with each other.

Relatively speaking, the Elephant Party puts more emphasis on security and diplomatic issues, which means it has a deeper relationship with arms dealers, but the military industry should not neglect the Donkey Party too much, after all, they may also be elected or in power.

Therefore, in recent decades, the election funding of the U.S. military industry has usually been hedging its bets. The Elephant Party got relatively more, but not much. Naturally, it is also the focus of arms dealers. "

Yang Cheng interrupted suddenly and asked, "Wait a minute, is Jim Morant one of yours?"

The Jim Morant he was talking about is the leader of the House of Representatives and the most powerful member of the Appropriations Committee.

Gavin shook his head, "Correct you again, it's not my people, but Loma's people. Of course, I was in charge of the contact before, and our relationship is okay~"

Yang Cheng gave him a blank look, isn't this nonsense?

"You continue~"

"In addition to funding, they will also apply for and run for jobs from their own staff, that is, people with military backgrounds. Once successful, they will naturally support and take care of the original company."

Yang Cheng nodded. Many of the senior officials in the U.S. military now come from Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Grumman, General Dynamics, etc., and some of them have even climbed to the top of the military, which shows the strength of arms dealers. penetration ability.

"In addition, they will use the cultural and media circles to brainwash the people and instill their ideas in the common people. Only by doing so will there be no greater opposition.

With this series of combined punches, we will have a broad and fertile living soil, but this is just the beginning~

Next, through the 'resources' under their control, they will directly or indirectly convey views beneficial to the military industry to decision makers, and then promote the introduction of policies beneficial to the military industry, such as expanding military spending, increasing defense research and development and procurement Projects, defense procurement procedures, green light for foreign military sales, the implementation of tough foreign policies and even wars, etc., among these, the role we can play is to do some invisible things for them.

For example, secretly sell some weapons to terrorists to support them to launch an offensive against a certain country’s ZF army. Once a war starts, they will have sufficient reasons to promote domestic sales of weapons to support the ZF army, or simply support the opposition forces to overthrow the existing ZF, and wait for them After taking power, sell them more expensive weapons. "

Although Yang Cheng has known these routines for a long time, she still can't help but sigh in her heart: This shit is a series of routines, it is impossible to guard against!

Gavin said, "Of course, the ecological laws of nature are like this. It is impossible for one thing to dominate. There must be checks and balances in order to develop stably and complete the ecological cycle. Arms dealers are not omnipotent. The media is the most important thing for them. Good restriction~”

As he talked, he said again in an envious tone, "So you should be thankful that you have New Era Media to rely on. Once you completely replace Iota, no matter whether it is D~L~A or the arms dealer, they will not dare to take it lightly. You, because you wield the weapon they fear most - the microphone!

As long as you can arouse the opposition of public opinion, the Congress will never dare to go against the grain and pay for the arms dealers. This is certain, so I envy you very much. As long as your ambitions are not too big, you should not follow my old path. "

Yang Cheng felt that there was something in his words.
