"Mr. Hayden, I know you are going to retire soon. I wonder if you are interested in changing your working environment?"
After everyone decided on the fate of the corruption gang headed by Whiteford, Andy asked with a smile to the mastermind, Michael Hayden.
Several other people had faint smiles on their faces when they heard Andy's question. Only Robert Gates looked at Andy Smith with complicated eyes.
"Oh? Originally, I planned to rest for a while..." Hayden said with a warm smile on his face.
"The Eagle of Liberty still lacks a senior partner who is also an advisor to the intelligence department. I sincerely invite you to join the Eagles of Liberty family."
Andy dug the corner like no one else, and he had a detailed understanding of the information of CIA Director Michael Hayden.
As a four-star general of the Air Force, Michael Hayden is very sociable, especially when he is always very humble when dealing with members of Congress. Many members of Congress have a good impression of him in private.
And every time before going to Capitol Hill to "report on work", Hayden will conduct research on his "audience" in advance, and then prepare his speech according to the level of the "audience" of these congressmen.
Moreover, Hayden's work style is unique and low-key, and he is known for being full of energy when working. People like Hayden are definitely sought-after top talents. If there is an opportunity to earn money, how can Andy miss it.
"Thank you Mr. Smith for your attention, but I have no plans to decide on my future career plan now. I will rest with my family for a while before making a decision. However, I will seriously consider your invitation. Although, I hate the New York Giants very much. Team, but this will not affect me to make a rational choice."
Hearing Michael Hayden's ridicule, everyone including Andy laughed helplessly and shook their heads. Hayden is an avid American football fan, and his favorite team is the Pittsburgh Steelers in his hometown. Killing the Steelers made him very depressed. In interviews with the media, he expressed his hatred for the New York Giants many times.
Andy chuckled and shook his head, shrugged with a helpless expression, shook hands with Hayden and said, "You are welcome to join us at any time, and I will look forward to your call."
"Thank you." Michael Hayden thanked him with a happy smile. Although he has received invitations from many companies, the invitation from Andy Smith is still very attractive to him.
It is still a job he is familiar with, power and money can be satisfied at the same time, of course, power is naturally not as great as the head of the CIA,
But as long as the development is good, private enterprises may not be unable to make a difference.
Old Smith looked at his grandson's methods, smiled very gratified, and shook hands with Rumsfeld and others one by one to say goodbye.
Andy and Old Smith sent everyone out of the house. Under the night sky, snowflakes were flying, and under the dim light of the street lights, a large group of secret service personnel guarded the surroundings as if they were facing an enemy.
When Andy and Robert Gates shook hands, Andy smiled, and said in a serious and joking way: "The U.S. military has been fighting abroad for years, wages are low, manpower is low, and morale is low. And our new president promises to do it as soon as possible." To get out of the quagmire of war, it goes without saying that what the United States needs most now is a decent retreat.
Maybe we can help the government solve the troubles in Iraq and Afghanistan! "
Robert Gates didn't like Andy Smith's greed and cunning at will, but he became a little interested in Andy's words, raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Oh? Do you have any good ideas?"
"Replacing the US troops stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan with the employees of the Freedom Eagles, to undertake the task of training Iraqi and Afghan soldiers, and with the support of the most advanced air and land weapons and equipment, to fight side by side with Iraqi and Afghan soldiers, and finally appoint a An "Almighty Governor"!
He will report directly to the president, just like MacArthur's role in the post-war foot basin. Regardless of whether it is Iraq or Afghanistan, the planned annual expenditure is only 20 billion U.S. dollars, which is far lower than the 66 billion U.S. dollars the government plans to invest in maintaining its military presence in Iraq and Afghanistan.
That's right, it's not 66 billion, and it's not 45 billion. Each country only needs 10 billion, and you can return to Iraq or Afghanistan, where the country is peaceful and the people are safe and clean! "
Facing Andy Smith, Gates, and Michael Hayden, who had been listening to their chats all of a sudden, Rumsfeld looked at the calmly smiling, somewhat arrogant young man with shock, disbelief and weird eyes. people.
Contracting the national war, why don't you go to heaven!
"laugh--"
Gates' face turned from black to red, his eyes became playful, and he let out a slight sneer, full of disdain for Andy, a young man who took for granted and had some arrogant ideas.
"Mr. Smith, the Blackwater Company does not have this ability. Do you think that the Liberty Eagle, which has more than 1,000 employees, has this ability to contract the entire war? Some things cannot be done with just a quick turn of your brain and a quick word of mouth. Yes! War kills!"
Hearing Gates' almost mocking words, Andy didn't show embarrassment. He still smiled calmly, spread his hands, and said noncommittally: "As long as there is a need, our regular employees can reach 5,000 within a month. Including the US Navy SEALs, the French Foreign Legion, the Polish Thunder Special Forces and other famous forces, all of them have rich actual combat experience. They have participated in the Afghanistan War, the Iraq War, and the Anti-Terrorist War in Southeast Asia, etc., all of which are at the elite level.
Within half a year, more than 20,000 active employees will be able to use it. At the same time, there will be nearly 50,000 retired special forces and police as reserves. 20 state-of-the-art armed helicopters, each pilot is an ace pilot, with several Tank armored vehicles and mine-protected vehicles.
With US$10 billion, we can deal with Iraq or Afghanistan. We move quickly, have advanced equipment, and have low cost. We will not be entangled in political and logistical problems. We can quickly arrive at the destination as soon as we receive an order, and easily resolve the battle.
You should know that this kind of efficiency cannot be achieved by soldiers in low paid, undermanned and demoralized service!
This is not because of my arrogance and ignorance, but based on evidence. It depends on whether you intend to contract out the war, thus opening up a new mode of war in human history! "
"hiss--"
Gates, who was originally indifferent and disdainful, frowned and fell silent. Michael Hayden gasped. He never thought that the young man in front of him had such courage. Nima, are you sure you are only running a security company? , instead of raising an army?
The few people present were all smart people, and they immediately figured out the problem. Andy's self-confidence was based on the dollar. Thousands of dollars in daily wages!
The same job, but the treatment differs by more than ten times, and the active-duty US soldiers are not Huo Lei F! Grinding foreign workers, being a monk and striking the clock for a day is the patent of brothers all over the world who earn a fixed salary to eat.
Tsk tsk, it's not a dream to double your salary by missing half a day of work every day. So, no matter how you count it, especially considering how much influence a dead mercenary has? How shocking is the death of a U.S. military? Outsourcing war is not necessarily a new option.
At this time, the eyes of the few people looking at the young man in front of them again began to have some other meanings. How much guts and daring do you have to think to come up with such an idea?
Really, really has the rhythm to go to heaven!
Especially when the few people present realized that this new way of thinking could really be operated. Sure enough, a businessman is a profession without any moral constraints. As long as the price is right, there is nothing that cannot be discussed!
On the side of the street full of snowflakes flying in the sky, Andy watched with a smile on the face of these big guys got into the car one by one, disappeared into the night, smiled at Grandpa Old Smith, chatted, turned and walked back to the house.
