Chapter 1955 I Can’t Even Run Away Even if I Want To

The town of Hallstatt at nightfall is a little more quiet than in the early morning when the sky is not completely bright, which makes people deeply fascinated by it.

The quiet villages, simple folk customs, and azure lakes vaguely reveal the meandering spring scenery, a peaceful place that calms the soul.

In the evening, they stayed at a B&B by the lake and rented a three-story building. They ate authentic local home-cooked meals and chatted as a family.

"Oh...it seems like this is the first time in so many years that a neat family has traveled together~" Yang Yuanshan sighed as he drank the fresh beer brewed by the local tavern.

Liu Muqian also agreed, and it was rare that he did not go against his old friend, "Who says it's not the case? As I get older, I start to be obsessed with the warmth of family."

"This is a good thing. In the future, you two will also want to be more open-minded and leave all the work in your hands to the people below. You should play and eat when you should. Taking care of yourself is the most important thing to do at your age~" Lao Luo said. road.

"We two old men often hang out and go fishing all over the world, but it can't compare to the feeling of having fun together as a family."

Yang Cheng took advantage of the situation and said, "By the way, I heard that the fish in the lake here are also good. Tomorrow we go to the town of St. Wolfgang and we can fish on the lake."

"Aren't you going back to Liechtenstein?"

"I won't come back~"

"Isn't the money wasted?"

"Hi~ This time Alois introduced me to the business, and the profit is quite high. There is no need to care about this little money~"

Yang Yuanshan frowned and said, "Another arms business?"

Yang Cheng knew that his grandfather was somewhat resistant to this business. Although he was convinced last time, he still had a thorn in his heart~

So he didn't want to talk about this topic anymore and said vaguely, "Well~ don't worry, it's all formal procedures~"

Lao Luo advised in a timely manner, "I think you should listen to the old man on this matter. Although the profits of arms are high, they are all sold with a knife. Our family is not short of money now, so there is no need to take this risk."

Yang Cheng sighed, "I know it well, but there are some things that you can't just do if you don't want to do it. I bet that if I give up my choice now, the United States will explode in less than a day."

"This is what I said, we are seeking skin from a tiger. After all, we are outsiders in the United States, and we can never expect to have a heart-to-heart relationship with those white people.

"Lao Luo's words were full of ridicule.

Yang Cheng said helplessly, "Give me a few more years. It's definitely impossible to quit now, and the government won't let me quit~"

"Why?" Yang Yuanshan asked excitedly.

"Now there is a fierce conflict within the US military. The only thing they can do at this time is to make money like crazy. If I suddenly quit, my wallet will be severely impacted. Do you think they will be happy?"

"What violent collision are you talking about?"

"It is the main strategic idea. There are more and more people in the US military who believe that the United States' traditional winning idea of ​​spending money to develop new weapons is no longer enough to maintain its strategic advantage in the next stage.

The fundamental reason for this controversy is mainly because in the past few years of military technology development, the US government required the US military industry to achieve comprehensive technological victory around the world.

This is a knot that cannot be opened. I think everyone has discovered that in the increasingly rigid family ZZ election in the United States, the daily operations of the U.S. government are increasingly disconnected from the professional technical advisory group. Compared with the influence of ZZ The rational choice of competition, professional players are more keen on conceptual and unconstrained ideas that contribute to ZZ's reputation.

Faced with unrealistic demands, U.S. arms dealers have gradually fallen into vicious conceptual packaging and public relations lobbying in the competition for arms research and development projects.

The consequence of this is that many strategic projects that really require large amounts of capital investment are defeated by those "unfamiliar" pseudo-technologies.

Take the U.S. Navy as an example. When the U.S. Navy occupied the top spot in the world's surface ships with absolute strength and began planning to study the size of future aircraft carriers, BAE Systems took the lead in negotiating with the U.S. Department of Defense without knowing it. Signed a huge order to transform the current America-class amphibious assault ship into a light aircraft carrier carrying 15 aircraft, and threatened that "light aircraft carrier" is the future development. Even in the more extreme voices, there are high-level bosses' demands Replace the status of aircraft carriers as battleships with 'small unmanned ships'.

However, regarding the research and development funds for 'hysonic weapons' that are really needed within the U.S. Navy, the bureaucrats of the Ministry of Defense have always adhered to the weird attitude of making big noise but small raindrops!

Of course, this blatant corruption of exploiting troubled waters is not the deadliest thing. Compared with corruption, what is more deadly is this abnormal operating mode, which has now become one of the major arms dealers in the United States. a default survival rule.

It is foreseeable that in this development system that is separated from top to bottom, the future US military, which gradually distorts the technological tree, will inevitably fall into a vicious cycle of technological development!

Can't they see such a serious problem internally?

Of course they can see it, but there is nothing they can do. The only thing they can do is to gain as much practical benefit as possible. "

Yang Cheng's words took everyone's thoughts far away, and Yang Sen asked, "So how are you going to deal with it? Or which argument do you prefer?"

"For us, the most embarrassing problem is that no matter which argument they support, they do not have the absolute right to speak. They only have the right to speak when the weapons are handed over to them.

So it doesn't matter which argument they espouse. "

Yang Sen also sighed, "The U.S. arms group is too powerful. They use one-third of their profits every year to publicize officials at all levels to create a monolithic structure from top to bottom. No matter it is any other department, in fact, Everyone is working for them~"

Yang Cheng nodded, "Yes, what I am doing now is actually equivalent to being a large distributor for arms groups. To them, my shipment volume per year is nothing, but I can guarantee the quality. I What they sell are all big killers.

Although it is still mainly controlled second-hand goods at present, the later maintenance can also make arms dealers a lot of money, so no matter how I look at it, there is no possibility of quitting for the time being. "

After a pause, he said directly, "I only have two choices now, either go all the way to the point where the arms dealers dare not make irresponsible remarks to me, and then consider retreating bravely;

Or simply fall out and give up the current interests. As long as they survive the initial wave of attacks, they will not break up with us. After all, the arms dealers still hope to make money on Wall Street.

By the way, don’t forget, the business I’m doing now also has cakes from the Koch family and ExsonMobil. If I want to exit, I must at least satisfy these two companies. "

Liu Muqian summed it up succinctly, "This is a pit. You can't climb out of it on your own~"

"Who says it's not~"

"The key is that this cake is too big and too tempting. Even the American government can't help but taste it in person. What can we common people do to avoid it?" Yang Cheng spread his hands and said helplessly.

"To put it bluntly, it's all about profit. Whether it's arms dealers or the government, they don't hesitate to create wars for money. They can do this kind of thing. Are you afraid that you, a small dealer, will run away?"

Lao Luo, who was inside the ZF, said to the point.

No contradiction creates conflict, no war creates war. This is the purpose of the US arms dealers' actions.

The one that suffered the most was the Middle East. The formerly united communist world has now been turned into a mess by the Americans. After the two world wars, with the rise of national independence movements around the world, the Middle East has also become a mess. A number of countries gradually became independent.

In the early days, when massive oil resources were not discovered in this region, there was not much turmoil and war in the Middle East compared to today, and many countries did not even have truly modernized armies.

However, since the United States, Britain and other major powers took the lead in the controversial decision on the land issue for the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, ethnic, religious and national conflicts in the region have suddenly erupted.

It was foreseeable from the first Middle East war, but at this time neither Arab or Israeli sides actually had decent armies. Before the war, the U.S. government exported a large number of weapons and equipment to the warring Arab countries and Israel respectively, thus making this A war can be fought.

The first Middle East war ended with Israel's successful founding of the country, but the seeds of hatred had been deeply planted, and since then the entire Middle East has entered a cyclical arms race.

At this time, large amounts of oil resources were discovered, and some countries in the region became rich overnight.

Originally, economic development could provide a good way to ease and resolve conflicts, but with the support of the United States, Israel's military power is dominant, and the military balance in the Middle East has disappeared.

After losing to Israel in several consecutive Middle East wars, many Arab countries began to choose the path of relying on the United States and following American rules to seek security. They purchased American weapons at high prices as "protection fees" in exchange for American military asylum.

As for those countries that do not play their cards according to the "laws" such as Iraq, Libya, and Syria, the United States will not hesitate to personally subvert them.

The fundamental purpose is to make money, and creating friction and imbalance is the best "excuse" for the United States to sell weapons.

For example, in the 1970s, the United States exported a series of the most advanced weapons to Iran, including the F14, which greatly increased its military strength. This made Saudi Arabia, Iran's old enemy, immediately unable to sit still and immediately imported a large number of American weapons. From then on, it became The largest financier of the U.S. military industry.

In the 1980s, the United States first acquiesced to Saddam's launch of the Iran-Iraq war, and later turned to support Iran to withstand Saddam's assault. This war lasted for 10 years, and both sides purchased massive amounts of US dollar arms.

The Gulf War in the 1990s could clearly oust Mr. Sardar from power in one fell swoop, but it instead fostered self-respect and forced neighboring countries to cling to the U.S. military's thighs. All the tricks were breathtaking.

For example, Yang Cheng recently participated in this incident. He had just joined forces with Saudi Arabia to label Qatar as a country that supports terrorism, exported hundreds of billions of arms to Saudi Arabia, and then sold it to Qatar with the highest unit price of F15, calling it "OK." "Trusted friend" is completely a black judge who eats the plaintiff and eats the defendant.
