Chapter 097
T-80U combat tank, does it cost only 820,000 rubles?
Evening.
Sean took the cost list given to him by the military and looked at it seriously.
On this cost list.
From small accessories for weapons and equipment, to finished main battle tanks, helicopters, fighters, missiles, ships and much more.
It is not an exaggeration.
This already includes information on all of the Mao Xiong’s active equipment.
If there are overseas agents who obtained this information in Sean’s hands.
This alone is a credit.
At the very least, the intelligence agencies could give him a suite.
Even to a wife.
But.
When looking at this information in his hand.
Sean really understood how developed the Mao Bear’s military industry really was.
It is different from the military industry in countries such as Millikian.
The vast majority of the military industry of the woolly bear is controlled by the hairy bear.
Or those who hold a certain share.
Other words.
It doesn’t matter whether this military-industrial complex enterprise is controlled by Mao Xiong or not.
Even Mao Xiong only has one percent of the shares.
In terms of discourse.
Still in the hands of the hairy bear.
Of course.
The Alman Military Industrial Institute was an exception.
Because it itself was created in the context of Andrei’s military identity.
So from the beginning of its inception to the present.
The military also took good care of the Arman Military Industrial.
This.
The top of the hairy bear is in the eyes.
Even if some people want to control the Arman Military Industrial Institute for the sake of profit.
Then he also has to see if the military agrees or disagrees.
And what about the arms enterprises in Milliken.
It is basically privately controlled.
It’s just for profit.
Arms companies will openly and covertly woo the top of Millikian.
Especially in the last decade or two.
Such a model gradually developed into a proper term – the military-industrial complex.
It has to be said.
The advantage of the military-industrial complex is that it has given Milliken’s military industry an opportunity for rapid development, and has given Millikian’s national defense strength a qualitative leap.
But at the same time.
The drawbacks also began to emerge gradually.
For example….
Whenever these arms companies feel that they have recently made less money, they will notify their own spokespersons and ask them to brainwash the top brass in Milliken to wage war against other countries.
Because most of these people are members of think tanks.
Whenever something major happens.
Up to President Milliken.
Down to some military officers.
They will take the initiative to ask for their opinions and seek the next move.
In such cases.
In order to be able to maximize their own interests.
You said.
What solutions will these people advocate?
Obviously.
That is to fight.
Because once there is a war.
Milliken will either purchase a large amount of weapons and equipment from the military-industrial complex himself.
Or the procurement of weapons for the countries they support.
The result is the same anyway.
That is to feed the military-industrial complex.
As for the rest.
They don’t care at all. [ Read more novels for free on our website: Knight NovelS ]
For example, soldiers who lost their lives as a result of fighting, and families who lost their families.
Or maybe the interests of the country are harmed, and so on.
These things are not on their radar.
In the end, things are all borne by the state in the end.
How about it.
Not on their heads.
Not to mention the moment when weapons were procured from the military.
They’re already well fed and drunk.
“Yulia, you say, taking the T-80U battle tank as an example, how much money are we going to sell to Saudi Arabia?”
After reading all the information on several weapons that have already been decided to be sold to Saudi Arabia.
Sean looked up at Yulia, who was tapping on the computer.
“Three times the cost, five times the spare parts, plus one million rubles per technician per year for repairs. ”
“……”
“Isn’t that a bit too high?”
Sean’s eyes widened as these words came out of Yulia’s mouth.
No.
Selling it at 1.5 times the price, I hesitated.
You open your mouth to three times the cost, equip them with parts five times the price, are you sure you are not a black dealer?
“Isn’t that too expensive?”
I don’t think it’s expensive, at least it’s much cheaper than the Milliken Arms Company, and their profits are much higher than yours. ”
“Rather, it must be Bimiriken ….. Wait, how do you know the profit of their weaponry?”
Looking at Yulia, Sean was stunned all of a sudden.
He hadn’t reacted just now.
When his reaction came later.
Only to find that there was something wrong with what Yulia said.
Be.
It is not difficult to find out the price of Milliken’s weapons and equipment sold to the outside world.
Because a lot of news is public.
Even if it’s a little more secretive news.
In the capacity that Yulia’s grandfather was the Minister of Defense.
It wasn’t hard for Yulia to know.
There is a point.
That is, the cost and profit of the equipment of the major arms companies in Milliken are strictly confidential.
Even Milliken’s top brass knew little about it.
Think about it too.
If only they knew their cost price.
So how to sell it at a high price?
But what Yulia just said.
It is clear that the cost price and profit of weapons prices of the major arms companies in Milliken are clearly known.
“.. Ahem… I just casually tried to hack on their internal network with members of the computer team, and who knew that it didn’t take much effort to go in, and then I slipped out their internal information a little by the way. (Lee Hao)”
“You…. What do you say? You hacked into the Milliken Arms Company’s intranet?”
“Yes, I know that you have been busy with foreign arms sales recently, thinking about seeing if I can help you, and then I tried it with the members of the computer team, who knew it would be so easy.” ”
Between words.
Yulia opened the file on her computer.
The moment the file is opened.
The dense information appeared in front of Sean.
“Erm….. You guys…. Aren’t you going to have to be careful lately?”
“It’s okay, they can’t find us, I guess it will make them scratch their ears and scratch their cheeks when they look at the IP location far away in Antarctica.” ”
Faced with Sean’s worry, Yulia smiled slightly.
Obviously.
She didn’t take the other team’s computer team seriously.
Or else.
They won’t just break in so easily.
