Chapter 856: : public opinion guiding sign
Mister handed the mobile phone to the bodyguard, crossed his legs, sat on the chair, and said with a smile, "Mr. Virginia Evelyn is very nervous now."
This is in the office, sitting on the sofa are all his confidantes.
It's less than 12 o'clock, young people can't stay up all night, they have to stay up all night.
Especially when he knew that the Philadelphia Manufacturing Association was the behind-the-scenes funder of this protest march, Mister was even more interesting. Of course, the kidnapping was outsourced, so how could he be caught? The other party may not know who hired them, anyway, just pay them.
Mister's words caused the confidants to laugh out loud, and their hearts felt a lot more relaxed.
Eagle Sauce is a country with freedom of speech, but it doesn’t mean that Mister and others are willing to listen to these nonsense and come to the door to demonstrate every day. This perseverance is really...it’s a pity not to find a factory to work.
"Leave him alone, now we are not in a hurry, let them be gentle with little Mr. Evelyn, and don't hurt him." Mister said with a smile.
Philadelphia is the most **** city, who knows if the kidnappers have other hobbies?
"What happened to the other thing?" He turned the swivel chair around and looked at the crowd and asked.
The deputy sitting on the sofa straightened his body and reported, "The Pentagon rejected our inquiry about the USS Wisconsin, and said that the Iowa-class battleship is a witness to history and will not be sold. It will be made into a floating museum."
The purchase of decommissioned weapons from major powers is part of a plan called "Return" within the Savior Company, similar to the B-52 bomber, F-15, including the purchased "Gorshkov", these are important in the plan character of.
Tang Dao even wants to contract the aircraft cemetery in Arizona, where there are about 4,200 aircraft, and the 309th Aviation Maintenance and Modification Brigade of Eagle Sauce is responsible for maintaining these aircraft and is ready to return some of them to the blue sky.
If this was contracted, the company would have no shortage of spare parts for at least the past ten years, but it was also rejected by the Pentagon, so the plan was shelved.
The Iowa-class battleships also performed very well in the Gulf War, but the weapons of the Eagle Sauce were eliminated too quickly. The modernization was completed in the 1980s, and they were eliminated in the 1990s. This is too wasteful.
So the company made an inquiry, and the reason for the rejection was quite ridiculous.
"It's an attempt to open your mouth." Mister tapped his fingers on the table and said with a frown.
Yingjiang has a total history of only more than 200 years. Indeed, the Missouri witnessed the surrender of the foot pot chicken, but the other three ships have no sense of history. You are almost poor and borrow money all over the world, so why are you still pretending to be rich here?
Of course the Pentagon is not poor, but after money is used, who thinks it is too much? People with more than 10 million dollars are also happy.
The retired old man still plans to send him to retire? Maintenance? These are all money, when you can’t take it anymore, if you belch, you have to pay for its burial, it’s better to transfer it to other "filial sons and grandsons".
In fact, to be honest, battleships are going to be eliminated. It can be said that Iowa is the last elegy of the era of giant ships and cannons. However, with the development of history, the advantages of battleships are getting smaller and smaller, and the high military expenditure is even more difficult to maintain. , the upgrade cost in the 80s was almost enough to build a brand new destroyer.
Therefore, after retiring, I really can't afford it.
How much did Iowa cost in the first place?
110 million dollars!
At that time, it was World War II, which was equivalent to more than one billion US dollars around the turn of the millennium.
If you buy it at the same price, Tang Dao is definitely not stupid, and Mister is not an idiot. The most important part of their "return" plan is to buy it with the least amount of money. It is useless for big countries, but in Africa, this This kind of battleship used for landing operations is still very deterrent.
To be honest, since Ying Jiang stopped playing battleships, no one in other countries has played them anymore. Some can't afford it, and some don't think it's worth it.
After all, times have passed.
But for a country like Somalia, it is enough for you to take a large battleship to bully neighboring countries and regions such as Mozambique, Kenya, and Somaliland.
Maybe it can be used when unifying Somalia by then?
"20 million US dollars! Give the Pentagon an offer, and we are willing to buy it." Mister made a decision.
Losing money, Ying Jiang must be losing money, but what income do you get from turning it into a floating museum? It's better to exchange it directly into US dollars.
The reason for buying from Iowa class also has a potential meaning. Tell the Pentagon that the Savior Company is not short of money. Look, we all want this old stuff from World War II. When other "waste" wants to be discarded, You can call our hotline.
Although Ying Jiang might not agree, but since the president has spoken, the employees below can only try.
Mist looked at the time, it was almost 1 o'clock, he yawned, and stood up, "Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow, let's all go back and rest."
After everyone left, he tidied up the table a little, turned off the lights and left the office.
…
Mswati III stayed in Somalia for three days, and finally left a little bit reluctantly.
Before he left, he asked Tang Dao to see him off by name, and the king took his hand and thanked him.
It's nothing more than thanking the company for selling him a batch of "cheap" weapons.
2000 AK47, 400,000 US dollars!
There are also 10 M-30 122mm howitzers, worth 800,000 US dollars!
These are stockpiles from warehouse clearance. What cannons from World War II can sell for 80,000 US dollars each? They're almost 60 years old.
Generally, these are around 60,000, and then someone in Tang said that the price was raised, and Mswati III had to thank him, hug Tang Dao, and invite him to visit Swaziland next time. Good girls share with him.
Seeing the plane soaring into the sky, even a person as indifferent as Tang Dao couldn't help sighing, "Mswati III is really a good man."
Ocasie's facial expression almost twitched by the side, and he finally held back and tried to calmly say, "Let's go back too."
The two got into the car. After there were no outsiders, it was easier to talk. While chatting, Tang Dao mentioned that the company wanted to contract the Somali National Television Station.
Ocasie couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard the news. He had this idea a long time ago, but he has no money, no one, and no time to make trouble. The biggest problem in the country is the warlord regime. Under such circumstances, the Savior Company is willing to take over. Of course it's the best.
So, he didn't refuse at all, "I agree, but I have to go through a process when I go back."
In 1979, it was stipulated that the People's Council is the highest legislative body, but this thing has long existed in name only in the constant war. With the support of the savior company, the Ocassie government maintains a strong control over the Mogadishu area. High-level executives with other ideas either die or run away.
Therefore, the high-level aspects are all pro-savior companies.
It's really a process.
"I think the Somali government and the company jointly set up a department to manage the country's future information dissemination, news media, and policy promotion. Any propaganda agency that has not been reviewed by the department is illegal. Moreover, private contracts such as newspapers and periodicals are currently not allowed. "
This is a proposal given by a think tank. If the Somali government’s propaganda agency wants to have its own prestige, it must provide the support it should have at the national level. Newspapers in other places are not allowed to sell, but you can’t control it for a short time. Gadisha began to control, preventing local newspapers from entering, not allowing them to be sold, and controlling the means of public opinion in the hands of the government and companies.
Hold on tight!
"The company will allocate 2 million US dollars to renovate the TV building, and the salaries of employees must be at the top level in the country. As for the remaining expenses, it will purchase equipment and lay power grids. Also, I will buy 1,000 TVs and put them in Moga. In various districts of Disha, show movies to local people and bring them entertainment."
He told Ocasia about his plan, and the latter kept praising him, and said that he would communicate with other people when he went back, and he would reply tomorrow.
"This is the best way. The faster we go, the sooner the people will benefit." Tang Dao said with a smile.
It was only half an hour away from the airport to the "Presidential Palace". When they got out of the car, Tang Dao glanced at the clean intersection and shook hands with Ocassie, "I won't go in, I plan to go to Morocco. Let’s take a look at the port of Gadishu, where the company plans to build a large shipyard.”
"Okay, see you next time then."
"goodbye."
Ocassie looked at Tang Dao, who was surrounded by bodyguards and got into the car, and waved his hand. After watching the convoy go away, his smile subsided, he looked at the time, and said to the secretary beside him ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Notify the deputy The president, speaker and others will have a meeting in twenty minutes. "
The secretary quickly agreed and followed Mr. President into the mansion.
Tang Dao was sitting in the car, and Hester Theodore was reporting to him, "The shipyard is next to the Mogadishu port. It plans to build an area of 5.17 million square meters, and it can have a 30,000-ton berth and two 15,000-ton berths. Ton floating dock, and a 3,000-ton floating dock, is expected to take three years to complete, and is currently under construction by China Construction Group."
The bidding has been done very early, and the construction has been started for almost four or five months. I even had this idea when I contracted the Mogadishu port. Sometimes it is too slow to ship ships from Ukraine. Somalia needs its own shipyard. Provide assistance to ocean-going cargo ships calling at the port.
In the future, warships will have to be built by themselves. It is not safe to come from Ukraine. When will the world structure be abrupt and be able to cross the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean?
In the future, including artillery factories, gun factories, and laboratories, they will gradually move to Somalia, and at least they will open branch factories. The land for military enterprises will be prepared. An industrial zone will be drawn at the east and west corners of Agua. It can also promote local employment, but it is still early, and the local workers are illiterate, so you can only trouble Ukrainian employees after the construction is completed.
Seeing that he was about to arrive at the port of Mogadishu, and he could see tower cranes, Hester Theodore answered the phone with a serious expression on his face.
"Boss, our agent in Libya was shot dead!"
