For almost all citizens to start a war, unless it really happens, it will always be speculation, and only those who have really stood at a certain height can be sure of whether it will break out or not. Compared with other countries www.biquge.info the United States has not been established for a long time, but the frequency of waging wars is not low, and coupled with the existence of the military-industrial complex, it is really 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 get real-time information from large regular arms dealers. According to the two years, three or four years of the year, the Ministry of Defense has constantly changed the military model, and if there is another war, the mode of attack can be inferred. Although in terms of historical evaluation, the media will say that the Gulf War opened the door to a certain new world, for the actual participants, such matters are known in advance for how long in advance.

The Gulf War officially began on January 17, 1991, with the multinational force sending more than 600,000 troops, while Iraq sent more than 800,000. As a result, in a total timeline of one month, the coalition forces lost more than 200 killed and nearly 700 wounded, and Iraq lost more than 25,000 killed and wounded more than 75,000, thus formally creating a new model of modern warfare.

But the whole prelude was staged as early as the summer of the previous year. As early as 8 p.m. on 2 August 1990, the United States launched Operation Desert Shield, a defensive operation to prevent Iraq from invading Saudi Arabia. At that time, two U.S. Navy fleets, led by the USS Eisenhower and the USS Independence, entered the combat zone.

By the end of the operation, the U.S. military had 500,000 troops stationed there, and the multinational forces had already formed around the battlefield. After all, this is the Middle East, and the civil war between the two major oil-producing countries will lead to turmoil in the world economy, and the European countries that are not close to it will watch from the sidelines.

Alice doesn't have an air force, let alone a large fleet of armored vehicles, tanks, and helicopters, and she only has a mercenary force of 3,000 men in the name of security. Even if Blackwater buys some helicopters and armored vehicles from companies such as General Dynamics, it will be an ordinary armored infantry brigade at most, and in the upcoming Gulf War, the actual room for play is very limited.

But what I want is to have a good time. The real Blackwater Company only began its official operations in 1998, and after the 911 attacks, it quickly rose to prominence on the winds of the war in Afghanistan. Of course, its real role in the war is limited, but it is this limited role in a national war that is enough to make its reputation as a company resounding all over the world.

So in today's Gulf War, Alice is not allowed to intervene. Even if you can't send a large number of F-35s to attack the ground, it's good to have infantry do laser guidance on the ground.

Akkaman immediately presented the full list of Blackwater's current strengths.

As early as when the company was founded, in order to accelerate the end of the Iran-Iraq war, then President Ronald Reagan and Vice President George H.W. Bush provided 2,000 elite retired soldiers. Digesting this power is enough for the entire Blackwater to do its best, and when Alice gets this report now, the total number of employees will be three thousand.

But they are undoubtedly elite. With the original 2,000 people as the core, and then using the same source to recruit 1,000 people, this brigade-sized infantry, all of whom are retired from the Marine Corps, Navy SEALs, and Delta Special Forces, are divided into internal ranks according to actual ability. It can be said that as long as the corresponding hardware and ammunition are sufficient, they will immediately be able to exert the standard elite US military-level combat effectiveness!

So, after skimming through the list of snipers of as many as one company, Alice still focused on the company's hardware.

There is a canine training company, and the company has also set up an armored vehicle branch, specializing in the production of "Grizzly" armored vehicles, the current total number of trains is twenty, as long as there is demand, it can be efficiently started at any time to reproduce. Based on the gift of the 2,000 soldiers, and later purchases, the company currently has a total of 20 Black Hawk helicopters, eight Chinook helicopters, three Apache helicopter gunships, and two Osprey transport aircraft.

"Hmm...... I believe that the generals of the Ministry of Defense will be happy to join such a combat force, although the overall strength needs to be improved...... Also, Akaman, I have an idea here. ”

As soon as he heard Alice's tone, Akaman knew that she had another ghost idea: "Hehe, do you still want to drive those two submarines over?" ”

No one has asked her how she got the submariners, after all, the situation in the Soviet Union is now rotten, and it is certainly not impossible to say that the little rich woman used money to open the way to buy people's hearts. But obviously, the participation of submarines in the war is definitely the most stupid idea, and after Akaman finished speaking, everyone laughed.

"Actually, it's about the merger of companies, Uncle Levier, and I want to put the umbrella and the black water together."

The sudden decision made everyone present stunned. Maiya and her father were naturally the people they cared about the most, and they immediately asked Alice one after another what she was planning to do.

"To put it simply, literally, I want to consolidate companies that can be merged to reduce unnecessary redundancies in the management process. At present, the Umbrella Company has two businesses, one is the ongoing research and development and sales of medicines, and the other is computer research and development, and the two research institutes above and below Exeter are owned by it. So, I now also want to let the blackwater come under it and manage it in a unified way. ”

A cadre of people looked at each other. The Maiya father and daughter immediately fell into deep thought, and Sophie immediately pondered the stakes of Alice's decision, and Ashley sat stupidly and watched the excitement, while Monica, who followed all the way, and Brudy, the bodyguard at the door, were acting as the goalposts. What would it be like to merge Blackwater with Umbrella?

"Mr. Spencer is now the nominal CEO of the umbrella, and he is actually responsible for things in the pharmaceutical field, which is exactly the marketing and sales field, which is equivalent to the marketing and sales director." As Alice's full-time CFO, Sophie is familiar with the composition of the people and business of each of its companies.

So he has no right to interfere in the research and development of pharmaceutical biology, and Evan Delov, as the director of the research department, has the same status as him. The same goes for the computer research centre on the ground in Exeter, where Harry Purness, the de facto director, is not accountable to Spencer, they are all just under the umbrella, just like the federal government has to do with the states. ”

Alice raised her hand and said: "Spencer is the president, I am personally the federal constitution, everyone has to listen to me~"

The crowd chuckled and Sophie's brief explanation, and Akaman quickly gained a more intuitive understanding of the company's personnel. He nodded: "Listing Blackwater as a subsidiary of the umbrella company's security industry is indeed conducive to integrated management, and because the industry is very different, there is no need to worry about monopoly lawsuits in related industries." So Sophie, if we were to do a merger, we would have ...... change in shares."

"Blackwater is not a listed company, and the current shareholding composition is dominated by Alice, with you and Maiya each accounting for a part, and then core employees such as veteran instructors holding a minority. So the actual operation of the merger is that you submit your respective shares, which are put in writing as the corporate funds of the umbrella company, and then go back to you. That is, you will become a shareholder of the umbrella, and Blackwater is established by you with the funds of the umbrella. ”

This is a wonderful shareholding relationship, and it is actually similar to the way in which Japanese conglomerates are formed, that is, the issue of mutual shareholding between different companies. It is clear that both Mitsubishi and Mitsui belong to each other, but there is still the problem of competition with each other, which is a phenomenon that Japan and even many large consortia have.

After such a change of paper property, the Akaman father and daughter will become the nominal shareholders of the umbrella, and Blackwater will also be nominally affiliated with the umbrella company. But in practice, apart from the Acadan father and daughter and Alice, there is no one else in the umbrella who can command Blackwater. In the same way, the Akkaman father and daughter have no right to interfere in the operation of the other businesses of the umbrella, because their holdings in the company are all used to "invest and develop" the subsidiary Blackwater International.

This is the so-called consortium, although the company is different, but everyone can rely on the nominal mutual shareholding and work together to seek development. If it's good between different industries, if it's a large-scale alliance of similar companies, it's like a super trust such as Standard Oil back then, and the anti-monopoly law is targeting this category.

"So, Uncle Levi, while our calendar hasn't turned to the next year, let's change the logo on the staff uniforms and armaments."

In this way, Alice smiled evilly: "The chest of the jacket, the side of the armored car, and the hatch and propeller of the helicopter, hurry up and paint the red and white LOGO of our umbrella, right?" ”

"Then, get ready for the Gulf War~!"
