Chapter 264: Pakistan's Ministry of Defense, sent a request for help to Mavi
When it comes to the Olympics, it's very expensive. Although it is a large-scale sport that the whole world is paying attention to, the construction of the stadium and the construction of the Olympic Village alone will require billions of dollars to support.
At one Olympic Games, in general, at least 10,000 athletes, 5,000 officials, 10,000 journalists and a million tourists visit the city. And these people have to leave the country within 20 days, which is very demanding for the airport and railway station.
Therefore, if the application for the Olympic city is successful, it is also necessary to improve the transportation problems, public infrastructure, and ecological improvement in this regard. The hidden costs are very high. For example, the Athens Olympics in the previous life cost a full $15 billion, and the biggest cost was the Sochi Winter Olympics in Russia, with a serious overrun of $51 billion. These constructions, relying on venues and tourism to drive the economy, will take at least 15 to 20 years to recoup the cost.
This money is rich countries, and they all feel a little distressed. It's no wonder that many countries have not applied for the Olympics much since then. Because it's really not interesting. In the past, the Internet was not developed, and many countries could not show their strength, so they could only use the biggest event, the Olympic Games, to show the world.
But after the Internet became popular, everyone knows what strength and situation your country has. There is no need to slap a swollen face and become fat, you have to hold the Olympics to show yourself. There was once a country that forcibly hosted the Olympics and had a balance sheet for 30 years.
Two minutes later, my sister Amphelia replied to the text message, "Yes, it should be quite difficult! But as long as you persevere, I believe that the 2014 Winter Olympics may be successful." ”
"Hopefully. "It's 2001, and almost all countries in the world are proud to bid for the Olympics. Even if you know that you will lose money, you are willing to do it.
As for the loss of money in the Olympics, Ma Wei actually doesn't care. 51 billion US dollars, anyway, when the money comes, he will look at it!
In 2014, I was estimated to be worth trillions of dollars. 51 billion will be spent, I will be happy, and by the way, I can complete the Olympic achievements......
After texting Amphelia, Mavi was ready to take a shower and go to bed. Tomorrow's life is still the same as today, with comfort in the salted fish, and occasionally with some surprises.
Just as Ma Wei was about to take a bath, the housekeeper Ivan hurriedly knocked on the door outside, "Young master, there is a call from Pakistan and I have something important to discuss with you." ”
"Pakistan?" Mavi felt a little strange, not knowing what was going on with him suddenly being found so late.
"Hey?" he picked up the phone, but a hint of anxiety came from the other end, "Hello, Mr. Mavi, I'm sorry to disturb you so late, I'm from the Pakistani Ministry of Defense." We would like to inquire whether your country's MiG fighters and Soviet-made fighters can be sold to us? If so, can you arrange a meeting with our Defense Minister, Senior General Shahad, next week?
"There shouldn't be much of a problem with the sale of fighter planes, but if you're in such a hurry, is something happening?" Ma Wei asked on the phone. Pakistan in the previous life was also an important customer of Russia.
"Well, we've had some conflicts with the Indian side, they have car bombs in their territory, but they have to point the finger at us in Pakistan. And also sent a large number of troops to the border, constantly harassing us with their ace fighters......"
The Ministry of Defense of Pakistan, due to the military friction between India and Pakistan, had to find Mavi. I want him to help introduce the Russian Air Force and buy their MiG fighters to resist India's ace fighters.
Speaking of India's ace plane, it was a very "tempered"! It fell to the ground at every turn, and people all over the world were dumbfounded. On average, at least three out of ten planes end up falling to the ground.
This is not being hit by enemy aircraft, nor suffering from bad weather, but the quality is not good, plus some flaws in the design, problems arise at every turn. There was once an Indian ace pilot who single-handedly dropped three fighters unscathed.
In India, a pilot's driver's license is easier to get than a driver's license from some countries. This is also one of the reasons why he is addicted to crashing planes.
"Oh, I see. After hearing this, Ma Wei said lightly on the phone. The conflict between India and Pakistan has a long history, and for half a century, relations between the two countries have been tense and slow, and the armed conflict between the two countries in Kashmir has hardly been interrupted.
So as soon as India was hit by a car bomb terrorist attack, he immediately pointed the finger at Pakistan, no matter who the culprit is, he will do it with Pakistan anyway!
For border conflicts between the two countries, thereby buying arms. This kind of business does not violate the principle of Ma Wei. In any case, as long as the arms he sells are not used to engage in terrorist activities or wage wars of aggression, there is not much of a problem.
After all, military friction happens everywhere in the world. This is a normal phenomenon.
Some time ago, he Russia, didn't he have a maritime conflict with Turkey and Ben. It's just that those two times were in the nature of a wrist wrench, and they didn't fight. Unlike Pakistan and India, the friction is a bit severe.
"Mr. Mawi, thank you for your support! On behalf of the Pakistani government, I would like to express my gratitude to you!" said a senior male official of the Pakistani Ministry of Defense happily on the phone.
They originally thought that India was a customer of Russia, and last year they bought frigates worth hundreds of millions of dollars. So Russia, probably, will not sell arms to them. But I didn't expect Ma Wei's side to agree so easily! It really made their hearts hang and let go of half of them.
After making a phone call with a senior official of the Pakistani Ministry of Defense, Mavi threw the phone away, and then went to the bathroom to take a hot shower under the service of the maid.
No matter who relents in the end of the India-Pakistan conflict and who does not admit defeat, Russia will definitely be the biggest beneficiary anyway. If Pakistani MiG fighters are sold here, then India's ace aircraft will fall even harder.
It is inevitable that the Indian military will definitely come to Russia again to buy destroyers and even nuclear submarines to deter Pakistan. Why do you say that you must have come to Russia again, and not to the United States, France, and England.
That's because India, which has a high regard for itself, has often caused disputes with other countries in the international community, and has used unfair competition to cause major economic losses to American companies in normal diplomatic and trade relations with the United States.
After learning of this news, the US president decided to immediately withdraw the preferential policies for India's trade activities, and may retaliate financially.
So India can only find Russia, when his big brother. There is no other option.
