The Goddess Shines on America - Chapter 599

For almost all citizens, unless it really happens, it can only be a guess. Only those who have reached a certain height can be sure of whether it will break out or not. Compared with other countries, the United States has not been established for a long time, and the frequency of wars is not low. In addition to the existence of the military-industrial complex, it is completely certain whether a war will be fought and how long it will last.

Since Alice formed an alliance with Northrop Grumman, she has also been able to obtain real-time information from regular large arms dealers. Based on the continuous changes in the military model made by the Ministry of National Defense in the past year, two, three or four years, if there is another war, the attack method can be inferred. Although in terms of historical evaluation, the media will say that the Gulf War opened the door to a new world for XX, but for the actual participants, such matters are known in advance.

The Gulf War officially began on January 17, 1991. The multinational force dispatched more than 600,000 troops, compared with more than 800,000 troops in Iraq. As a result of the war, in the total timeline of one month, the coalition forces killed more than 200 people and wounded nearly 700 people, and Iraq killed more than 25,000 people and injured more than 75,000 people. This formally created a novel Mode of modern warfare.

But the entire prelude had been staged as early as the summer of the previous year. As early as 8 pm on August 2, 1990, the United States launched the “Operation Desert Shield” defense operation to prevent Iraq from invading Saudi Arabia. When it was time, two US naval fleets headed by the USS Eisenhower and the USS Independence entered the combat area.

When the operation ended, the number of US troops stationed there was as high as 500,000, and the multinational force had already formed a formation around the battlefield. After all, this is the Middle East. The civil war between the two major oil-producing countries will cause turbulence in the world economy, and European countries that are not close can stand on the sidelines.

Alice does not have an air force, let alone a large number of armored vehicles, tanks and helicopters. All she has is a mercenary force of 3,000 people in the name of security. Even if Heishui purchases some helicopters and armored vehicles from companies such as General Dynamics, it is at most an ordinary armored infantry brigade. In the upcoming Gulf War, the actual room for development is very limited.

But what I want is to join in the fun. The real Blackwater Company only started to officially operate in 1998. After 9/11, it quickly rose due to the wind of the war in Afghanistan. Its real role in the war is of course very limited, but this limited role in a national war is enough to make it famous as a company and resounding all over the world.

Therefore, in today’s Gulf War, Alice did her part to intervene. Even if a large number of f-35s cannot be sent to the ground, it is good to have the infantry do laser guidance on the ground.

Akaman immediately presented a list of all the capabilities of the current Blackwater Company.

As early as when the company was founded, in order to accelerate the end of the Iran-Iraq War, then President Reagan and Vice President Bush Sr. provided it with 2,000 elite veterans. Digesting this amount of power is enough to make the entire Heishui do its best, so when Alice now gets this report, the total number of employees is three thousand.

But they are undoubtedly all elite. Taking the original two thousand as the core, and then recruiting one thousand from the same source, this brigade-sized infantry is all retired from the Marine Corps, Navy SEALs and Delta Special Forces, and internally carried out according to actual capabilities. Division of job titles. It can be said that as long as the corresponding hardware armaments are equipped, they will immediately be able to display the standard elite US military-level combat effectiveness!

Therefore, after Alice skimmed through the sniper list of as many as one company, she still focused on the company’s hardware facilities.

There is a dog training company, and the company has also established an armored vehicle branch, which specializes in the production of “Grizzly” armored vehicles. The current total installed capacity is 20. As long as there is demand, it can be reproduced efficiently at any time. Based on the gift of the two thousand soldiers, plus the subsequent purchases, the company currently has a total of twenty Black Hawk helicopters, eight Chinook helicopters, three Apache helicopter gunships, and two Ospreys. Transport aircraft.

“Hmm… I believe that the generals of the Ministry of National Defense would be happy to join in with such a force, although the overall strength needs to be improved… Besides, Akaman, I have an idea here.”

Upon hearing Alice’s tone, Akaman knew that she had another idea: “Hehe, do you still want to drive those two submarines?”

No one has asked her how she obtained the submarine soldiers. After all, the situation in the Soviet Union is now in a rotten state. Of course, it is not impossible to say that the little rich woman used money to buy people’s hearts. But obviously, submarine participation in the war is definitely the most stupid idea. After Akaman finished speaking, everyone just smiled.

“It’s actually about the merger of companies, Uncle Livier, I want to combine the umbrella and black water.”

The sudden decision made everyone here stunned. Muya and her father were naturally the people who cared most, and immediately asked Alice what she was planning.

“Simply speaking, it means literally. I want to merge companies that can be merged to reduce unnecessary redundancy in the management process. At present, the umbrella company’s business has two parts, one is the ongoing medical research and development and Sales, one is computer research and development, and the two above-ground and underground research institutes in Exeter belong to it. Therefore, I also want to put Blackwater under it for unified management.”

A bunch of people looked at each other. The father and daughter of Wu Mi fell into deep thought immediately, Sophie immediately wondered about the stakes of Alice’s decision. Ashley sat stupidly watching the excitement, and Monica and Brudy, the bodyguard at the door, who followed all the way, acted as the door. column. What kind of situation is it like to merge the Blackwater Company with the umbrella?

“Mr. Spencer is now the ceo in the name of the umbrella. He is actually responsible for things in the pharmaceutical field. It refers to the marketing and sales field, which is equal to the marketing and sales director.” As Alice’s full-time cfo, Sophie is responsible for the personnel business of each company The composition is very familiar.

“So he has no right to interfere in the research and development of medicine and biology. As the director of the research department, Ivan Deloff has the same status as him. Similarly, there is also the computer research center on the ground in Exeter, the actual person in charge, Harry Pu Nath does not need to be responsible to Spencer, they are all just under the umbrella name, just like the relationship between the federal government and the states.”

Alice raised her hand and said, “Spencer is the president, and I personally am the Federal Constitution. Everyone listens to me~”

Everyone chuckled, with Sophie’s brief explanation, and Akaman quickly gained a more intuitive understanding of the company’s personnel. He nodded and said: “Listing Heishui as a subsidiary of the umbrella company’s security industry is indeed conducive to integrated management, and because of the different industries, there is no need to worry about monopoly litigation in related industries. So Sophie, if we want to merge, we are in The change in shares is…”

“Heishui is not a listed company. The current share composition is based on Alice~www.mtlnovel.com~ You and Wu Mi each have a part, and then the core employees such as senior seniority instructors hold a minority. So the actual operation of the merger is you Submit your respective shares and assign them in writing to the umbrella company’s corporate funds, and then go to you. That means you will become shareholders of the umbrella, and Heishui is established by your investment with the funds of the umbrella.”

This is a very strange shareholding relationship, which is actually the same as the formation of Japanese consortia, that is, the issue of mutual shareholding between different companies. Obviously they are both under Mitsubishi and Mitsui, but there are still issues of competition with each other. This is a phenomenon common in Japan and even many large consortia.

After such a paper property change, the Akaman father and daughter will become nominal shareholders of the umbrella, and Heishui will also be nominally affiliated with the umbrella company. But in actual operation, apart from the Akaman father and daughter and Alice, no one else can command Black Water on the umbrella. In the same way, the Akaman father and daughter have no right to interfere in the operation of other businesses of Umbrella, because all their holdings in the company are used to “invest and develop” the subsidiary Blackwater International.

This is the so-called consortium. Although the companies are separate, they can rely on nominally holding each other’s shares and work together for development. If it is a good deal between different industries, if it is a large-scale alliance of similar companies, then it is just like the super trusts such as Standard Oil of the year. The antitrust law focuses on this category.

“So, Uncle Livere, before we turn to the next year in our calendar, let’s change the logo on the uniforms and armaments of our employees.”

In this way, Alice smiled badly: “The chest of the jacket, the side of the armored vehicle, the hatch of the helicopter and the propellers, hurry up and apply the red and white logo of our umbrella?”

“Then, get ready to participate in the Gulf War~!”
