May 30, 1995.

Northrop Grumman's corporate headquarters.

In the conference room, an old man in his sixties said loudly: "Lockheed Martin has launched a merger and acquisition request to us, what do you think?"

"I think so, the technology of the two companies can complement each other in many ways!" said Greene Noyce, head of Northrop Grumman's weapons research department, "once merged, the new company will have a great competitive advantage in fighter aircraft research and manufacturing!"

A middle-aged man in his forties nodded, he was Evan Church, CEO of Northrop Grumman: "That's right, I also think it should be merged!" After speaking, he turned his head to look at the old man who spoke at the beginning, "Mr. Greene Davy, cooperation is mutually beneficial, Lockheed Martin's technology is much better than ours, merging with them, we will open a new era - leading the arms industry and climbing the peak of future science and technology!!"

"Well," Green David nodded, and said lightly, "merger is not impossible, how to merge is the key!"

Evan Church nodded, "Yes, but rest assured, Mr. Greene David, we will get the best out of Northrop Grumman!!"

……

"Boss, Northrop Grumman has agreed to a merger between the two companies, and negotiations are underway!" Smith said on the phone.

Henry said: "It's better to buy it wholly, I'm going to pay $25 billion!"

"Understood!" Smithton paused. "The U.S. Department of Defense doesn't seem to agree with our plan for this merger!"

"I know that, I'll figure it out!" Henry was silent for a moment. "You're in charge of getting Northrop Grumman done!"

"Okay. Boss!"

After Henry hung up the phone, he couldn't help frowning.

Sure enough, two large US arms companies were going to merge, and the Department of Defense immediately raised objections.

At this point, Henry had to use his position again to influence the U.S. government, and then launched a force to lobby the U.S. Congress and the military. Countless officials who had received Henry's benefits and were enjoying the benefits that Henry brought to them spoke for Henry, and with money opening the way, voices soon appeared within the Ministry of Defense to agree to the merger of Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman!

The Internet and TV media are also on Henry's side.

Henry manipulated public opinion to stand on his side, and the American people were deceived into expressing their support.

The opposition of the Ministry of Defense is gradually getting smaller!

The influence of big conglomerates on the U.S. government is enormous, and countless officials have unclear ties with the conglomerates. Annual presidential campaign. Consortiums play a very big role in this! Whether it is campaign funds, connections, or channels, these presidential candidates have to rely on the power of consortiums!

In fact, since the election of legislators in each state, consortia and many companies have invested in these legislators. In the United States, there are hardly any congressmen who have not accepted investment from others......

Have you ever used the right to vote in elections in China? Henry remembers that he had only used it once in his previous life, and that time it was when he was in junior high school. The teacher specifies who to choose...... Even after going to university, I never exercised the right to vote as a citizen!

The voting rights of the United States are real. However, large conglomerates and corporations can influence the voting rights of U.S. citizens. It's like Henry owns so many companies with millions of employees. He said that he would support so-and-so, not to say that all employees would show their support, but most people would support it. If it radiates to family and friends, the number of votes will be great! Wouldn't the officials who wanted to climb up the ladder have to curry favor with Henry?

The U.S. Congress and the Department of Defense eventually compromised and agreed to the merger of Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman. It's only 1995, and the two companies aren't as strong as they were in 1997. On the other hand, Lockheed Martin has been split by Henry, and the space division has been added to SpaceX.

At this time, Smith also brought good news to Henry: "Boss, Rothrop Grumman finally agreed to our merger for $24.5 billion!"

Henry nodded and replied, "Good!"

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States has halted the pace of the arms race. As a result, arms orders fell instantly, and US arms manufacturers did not make much money, and it was not until the "911 terrorist attacks" that the United States re-intensified its arms development and manufacturing! Rothrop Grumman's total sales in 1994 were less than $9 billion, and his profits were less than $1.45 billion!

Henry once sent the Blackwater Elite to assassinate Ben~La~ Lamp, but he didn't expect that there was a secret passage in his house, so he let him escape. After that, he followed the path of history and founded al-Qaeda! Due to the uncertainty of his whereabouts, it was difficult for Blackwater to track down for a while. In the end, in order not to expose the identity of Blackwater, Henry had no choice but to transfer the Blackwater Elite back.

With Ben~pull~ lamp's paranoid attitude of hatred of the United States, it is expected that there will be a similar "911 terrorist attack" in the future.

Henry also has a headache about this, he is most worried that Ben ~ pull ~ the lamp will fly the plane and hit the Williams Center!

……

Rothrop Grumman is also an asset of the California consortium. At present, the California consortium is in finance, minerals and oil, and the funds required are huge, and the Rothrop Grumman company is not very profitable, plus it was Henry who bought it, and Henry is on the side of their California consortium, so it is natural to decide to sell the company. What's more, the California consortium also controls a number of arms companies, such as Litton Industries......

Henry immediately began his plan to restructure the company after taking over Rothrop Grumman.

Henry first merged the space division of Rothrop Grumman into SpaceX. Now it can be unceremoniously said that SpaceX has become the best space company in the world. First, it acquired the aerospace division of Lockheed Martin and Hughes Aerospace and Communications, and now it is the aerospace division of Rothrop Grumman, with a total of 24,000 employees, and its technical strength is not inferior to NASA. NASA has only 18,000 employees, which is not as many as SpaceX. Moreover, the United States only gives NASA more than $10 billion a year, while Henry has already spent more than $20 billion on SpaceX......

Sooner or later, SpaceX will replace NASA in its place!!

After the merger of Rothrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin, Henry decided to give the new company a new name, Henry thought for a moment, slapped his thigh, and said: "If you want to take it, take a terrible name, simply call it God of War Company!!

Henry knew that there was a large defense contractor in the United States called Raytheon.

It's all called Thor, let's call it a god of war!
