Chapter 107: It turns out that war is really profitable

And I heard Mike say that he also established a well-numbered mercenary army in that vast land of Africa, although the number is not large, but the annual craftsmanship is calculated in hundreds of millions.

Could it be that the war is really so profitable, Yun Xuan couldn't help but wonder in his heart. As soon as the cannon goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold, and this sentence is also correct now.

There are two most lucrative businesses in the world: the drug trade and the arms trade. One of the types of arms trade is the so-called war.

According to expert estimates, a profit of more than 50% for an F-16 fighter with a price of $50 million is more than 50%. The arms trade is so profitable, and the Americans, of course, will not give up this piece of fat. For a long time, the United States has monopolized the number one arms seller in the world.

In order to sell weapons and equipment, the United States has spared no effort. In recent years, demonstrating the performance of new weapons with the help of actual combat has increasingly become a new way for the United States to market new types of weapons.

The Gulf War in 1991 was a platform for displaying advanced weapons. The main battle tanks, airplanes, and precision-guided weapons that were used in the war became the targets of the post-war pursuit. The M1 main battle tank produced in the United States became famous for its outstanding performance in the Gulf War and became the world's largest exported tank in the 90s of the 20th century.

In a possible second Gulf War, the United States will use the latest improved weapons and will introduce completely new weapons. For example, the latest main battle tank, the M1A2, has a 90% share of digital electronics. It uses a gas turbine engine, which has more horsepower, and is equipped with a first-class fire control system, which has higher strike accuracy, longer distance, and stronger firepower. In addition, the United States will adopt a new weapon called an electronic bomb. It is said that after the explosion of the electronic bomb, it will produce a pulse wave of huge energy, which will destroy all the electrical facilities within the area of action in an instant, leaving the enemy in the dark and panic.

In a sense, war expenses have become advertising expenses for new weapons, military personnel have acted as models for advertising new weapons, and the battlefield has become a big stage for interpreting advertising dramas for new weapons.

These new high-tech weapons are often beyond the reach of other countries' scientific research levels, and if they want to possess them, they have to go to the United States to buy them. Therefore, the return on this war advertising fee of the United States is mostly very rich. Once the war is over, good advertising will attract a large number of orders, and the United States will only need to be prepared to collect money.

Yun Xuan also heard these things from Mike, he didn't expect the war to be so profitable, on the one hand, he realized the performance of his own weapons, on the other hand, he promoted his own weapons, and then the cost of the war was paid for by other countries, and this business did not suffer any losses.

Yun Xuan knew Mike's strength and was relieved, although he had Yuanshui, but he would die if he was shot in the head, and he was not omnipotent, and it was not possible for multiple people to live an insurance.

Yun Xuan This is the first time he has brought out a bodyguard, and the previous meaning is that Yun Xuan is unwilling to take it, and this ticket will definitely attract attention, for fear of unnecessary trouble. Now with the protection of these bodyguards, Yun Xuan feels quite majestic.

In the past, when I saw those big names on the movie, they would be followed by a group of bodyguards, and at that time, Yun Xuan thought it was simply amazing, but now that I think about it, it's really good to have bodyguards with them.

It's safe and convenient, do some things that others can't do, of course, Yun Xuan is a serious person, and he won't let the bodyguards do those things that steal incense and steal jade, which Yun Xuan's "personality" can still be guaranteed.

There are still a few hours before the agreed time, and it is impossible for Yun Xuan to go in advance, besides, no one is allowed to go in advance, what are you doing, Yun Xuan sat on the sofa and drank a little wine.

"Mike, where's your family?" Yun Xuan said.

"My family died when I was very young, and now I'm alone, and I'm alone." Mike said nonchalantly.

"I'm sorry." Yun Xuan didn't know about it either, so he said apologetically.

"It's okay, boss, I'm used to it."

Yun Xuan chatted with Mike for a while, and Mike went out, which is also a way to enhance the relationship, in case there is any danger to their lives in the future, they can do things seriously.

Yun Xuan sometimes thinks that nothing is bad now, don't talk about the money, if the money is not bad, you should think of other ways to do something, play with your life, this is definitely not suitable for Yun Xuan, if your life is gone, there will be nothing.

The family definitely doesn't need Yun Xuan to worry about, Yun's father and mica just called, and now he is taking Yun Yun in Thailand, what to say to experience the local customs, and let Yun Yun travel thousands of miles by the way.

Yun Xuan thought about it and thought about it again, and heard Mike say that there are still wars in some parts of Africa, did he intervene. But this matter is too big, Yun Xuan has to think about it.

When it comes to mercenaries, people will think of the French Foreign Mercenary Corps, which is a regular army unit composed of foreign volunteers, with the same equipment as the French regular army, and is composed of about 8,000 volunteers from 136 countries and regions. It was founded in 1831 by the then King of France, Louis Philippes (reigned 1830-1848), in order to solve the problem of foreigner crime in France and to replenish the French army killed and wounded in the war.

This is also what Yun Xuan heard from Mike, although he knew about this mercenary organization before, but he didn't have that much detail.

After a while, Wang Meilin and Wang Kexin also came back, looking at Wang Meilin's beaming face, it seemed that she had a good conversation with those people, Wang Kexin pouted on the side, looking unhappy.

"Yo, what's wrong, little girl, upset?" Yun Xuan got up and patted Wang Kexin's head and said.

"Hmph, look at Sister Wang, I have something to do, and I have nothing to do." Wang Kexin said with a wrinkled nose.

"Didn't you say that you should be Sister Wang's assistant, what's wrong, isn't this position good?" Yun Xuan said questioningly.

In fact, it's not that Wang Kexin is unhappy, but at that time, Wang Kexin couldn't say a word at that fair, and he couldn't show his importance, so she was unhappy, little girls, they all have this little temper, eager to get the attention of others, whether it is good or bad.

After listening to Wang Meilin's words, Yun Xuan laughed, "Kexin, why are you so cute." After speaking, Yun Xuan also rubbed Wang Kexin's red little face.

"What are you doing?" Wang Kexin knocked Yun Xuan's hand off in disgust.
