Chapter 274: Mavi Becomes a "Contractor" in Afghanistan's War on Terror

When they arrived on the battlefield in Afghanistan, they parachuted a group of Russian soldiers, the terrain was unfamiliar, and the language could not be communicated. Then I saw that everyone looked like terrorists. In the end, he was sure to be caught blind and killed by the enemy hiding in the crowd.

It's better to bomb wherever there is movement. In this way, the number of casualties of the Russian army will not be as high as in the previous life.

At the beginning, the elite troops of the Russian army, which had invested millions of people, attacked Afghanistan for 10 years, and finally lost 26,000 people! (According to the official Russian report, including those who died of wounds in the later period, but not the missing ones) If you count the number of missing people, at least more than 30,000 people.

"Mr. Mawi, thank you very much for your valuable advice!" said General Kulidov, the commander-in-chief of operations in Afghanistan, to Mavi sincerely.

Even after thanking him, General Kuridov invited Mavi to participate in the next military operation. Together with these generals, follow the situation in Afghanistan from the command center. In case of any unexpected situation, someone can give advice in time.

"Mr. Mavi, although you are not my Russian soldier, I would like to invite you now, as one of our staff officers, to assist the Russian soldiers in this battle. Do you think you're willing?" General Kuridov asked Mavi seriously.

That's not the most important thing compared to the rules. The key is to fight this anti-terrorist battle well and fight it well.

Moreover, with Ma Wei's current status, it is just to avoid suspicion (business and political exchanges), and he does not want the position of an official in the Russian government. Otherwise, he would have abandoned business and practiced business, and he would definitely be able to mix to such a height with his own strength.

It's just that everyone has their own ambitions, and Ma Wei still likes a comfortable and leisure life. Dealing with tedious official duties is not his preference......

"I'll be happy to serve, General Kuridov. It is an honor for me to be able to contribute to my country. Oh, by the way, in order to make the Russian fighters who participated in this anti-terrorist campaign have no worries. I, the Mikoyan family, have decided to contribute 1 billion dollars to support this anti-terrorist operation!" Mavi said to General Kulidorf in a faint voice.

Since there is going to be a march to fight, it must cost a lot of money. Considering the economic constraints of the Russian government, Ma Wei, a big tyrant, must have to contribute some. Moreover, this war on terror was originally started because of his fighter jet business. If you don't pay a little more, you can't justify it.

As soon as Ma Wei's words fell, he saw General Kuridov standing in front of him, as well as the generals of the Russian navy, land and air, who suddenly felt a little surprised, and couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"$1 billion? Mr. Mavi really?" General Kulidorf was obviously amazed by Mavi's money-throwing method.

You must know that in the 80s of the previous life, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan for 10 years, and it only spent a total of less than 50 billion rubles. At the exchange rate at the time, it was equivalent to almost $2 billion. And Mavi's $1 billion, including the inflation rate, is almost equal to one-third of the former Soviet Union's 10-year war in Afghanistan.

In other words, the money donated by Ma Wei alone is enough to support the Russian army and gallop on the battlefield in Afghanistan for more than two years! It has solved the economic pressure on the Russian government and the Russian military. For at least two years, they don't need to worry about money.

"Yes, General Kulidov, a billion dollars will never be less. Ma Wei said in the war room with a calm expression.

The Russian army fights a war, and the "cost performance" is really too high. If it were the United States, I am afraid that it would burn at least $8 billion in just one year.

Why is the cost gap between the American army and the Russian army so large? That's because, the Americans, fighting wars, regardless of cost performance, favor only the most advanced high-tech equipment.

For example, in the Iraq War, the US Air Force launched an air raid codenamed "Operation Decapitation", launching a total of more than 800 Tomahawk cruise missiles. Such missiles are used to destroy strategic targets such as the command of the Iraqi army, radar stations, missile positions, etc. It cost $1.6 million. 800 Tomahawk cruise missiles is 1.2 billion dollars!

Moreover, there are other types of precision-guided missiles, with nearly 20,000 of them, and the total cost is more than $20 billion! One can imagine how much money the US military burns, and the cost of missiles alone is sky-high.

If you change it to Russia, it will definitely be the most cost-effective. Those who can use self-propelled rocket artillery will never use Scud missiles, and those who can use Scud missiles will never use cruise missiles.

In addition to the profligacy of equipment, the personnel cost of American GIs is even more expensive. Americans are all old soldiers, and during World War II, they had to take hot baths and eat turkey on the battlefield.

According to one study, the average annual cost of a U.S. soldier stationed in Afghanistan is $3.9 million. This is the data for 2015. By 2001, the cost was almost $500,000 per person. 10,000 people stationed is $5 billion a year. This does not include the cost of compensation for casualties.

Compared with the personnel cost of the Russian army, Mavi's money is already well spent.

"Mr. Mavi! Thank you so much! Thank you for your contribution to our army!" The Russian generals standing around expressed their warm gratitude to Mavi for his generosity.

I have to say that Ma Wei is too comprehensive. not only provided the Russian army with such a good tactical idea, but also gave the government a headache for military spending, Ma Wei also conveniently contracted for 2 years. It's really amazing.

"You're welcome, that's what I'm supposed to do. Ma Wei replied in a low-key manner.

Compared with the investment of $1 billion in military supplies, his layout in Afghanistan has just begun. The world's most abundant oil and gas production is in the Middle East, as well as the Russian Caucasus.

If, Mavi financed, supported the army, and then suppressed the militants in Afghanistan. Then it is equivalent to containing the neck of this oil competitor in the Middle East. In this way, it is absolutely only a matter of time before the oil market is monopolized and the oil price is unified.

By that time, Mavi's oil and energy company will have the absolute right to speak. To whom he wants to sell his oil and to whom he will not sell it. Whoever the price is high and who is cheap is all a matter of one sentence.

The profit in this is much larger than the military expenditure of 1 billion US dollars!

During his time in the operational command center, Ma Wei learned the lessons of the US military's attack on Afghanistan based on his memories of his previous life. In cooperation with the Russian generals, the strategic details of this war on terror have been carefully deployed and clarified.
