Chapter Fifty-Eight: Blackwater's Private Work [Ask for Subscription]
Several of Caesar's grandfather's family, including his grandfather, were wounded by the Russian invasion of the Northeast, and eventually two relatives died.
Many years later, his grandfather was sick and went to the hospital, took an X-ray, and found a bullet in the abdominal cavity, which he forgot for decades, but he had a faint abdominal pain on a cloudy and rainy day, and he thought it was a disease.
So Caesar has had a kind of hostility and even hatred towards Soviet Russia since he was a child, and he looks forward to the bad luck of Soviet Russia all day long, so that when Soviet Russia disintegrated, Caesar secretly put a small whip that was saved during the New Year.
In short, the members of the Caesar Club became active all of a sudden, and rushed to Tampa Bay with their lawyers, ready to sell their portrait rights for a good price, and add another sum to the Bunny Restaurant.
"Why would they want to take a stake in the restaurant? Is it so inefficient for restaurants to make money? Little Kailin sat at the dining table with her chin in her hands, and watched Caesar blink with a pair of phoenix eyes, full of curiosity.
Only then did Caesar find out that little Kailin turned out to be a business enthusiast? Children in their early teens begin to ask these kinds of questions...... However, seeing that the three daughters of Little Liv and Judy at the table also had curious expressions, he could only reluctantly explain.
In front of so many superb beauties, big and small, you can't be cowardly! It doesn't matter if he keeps taking time off from work, skipping classes, or messing around at Harvard Business School, because this issue doesn't require much expertise.
"How so? You may or may not have heard of a Chinese saying, but I would like to tell you that the Jewish people have a similar saying that has been passed down from generation to generation.
Prosperous antiques, troubled gold. It means that in peacetime, you can collect some antiques for value preservation, and you can also make a profit through the buying and selling of antiques.
It should be noted that the era of peace here refers to the kind of long-term peace that can be judged in the domestic and foreign forms.
The rough meaning of gold in troubled times is the era of frequent wars and natural disasters. Human life and property are in danger, so antiques have no meaning, and gold is the hard currency.
In fact, the reason why gold is a hard currency is particularly simple, because gold is the largest substance in circulation and can carry the most wealth per unit weight.
Diamond jewelry. Expertise in identification is not something that ordinary people can have, and only gold is the most popular.
However, I can responsibly say that in the face of real troubled times, gold is just as meaningless.
Let me tell you a real incident, during the Chinese Civil War, when the Chinese government had not yet established a government, and the other side of the civil war broke out in a city in the northeast.
It is the very famous battle of "trapped Changchun" in northeastern China, and how many people starved to death in the siege of this battle are very different from the figures said by the official and the people. But the strategy of only allowing people to go out and not to enter brought about the extreme hunger of the people in the city.
In addition to the result of hunger, there is another kind of misery, that is, exchanging a bag of gold for half a dry steamed bun.
Little Liv should remember, right? It's the kind of white, bread-like thing that Master Xing steamed last time, and little Kailin should have eaten it a lot before.
What is the concept of a pocket of gold? It's to fill the pocket the size of a teddy bear in your arms half full.
It would take about a dozen rings, a dozen pairs of earrings, plus a few necklaces, five or six bracelets, and a few gold bars.
Use these pure gold products to exchange for half a dry steamed bun or dry bread, I am afraid this is the meaning of gold in troubled times.
"War is terrible!" Bea shuddered. After taking over the Angel Foundation, she often went to some poor areas to inspect the disaster relief situation, and she became more and more kind. She became more and more compassionate, and she seemed to have made up for the tragic situation caused by the people in the whole city not eating or drinking.
"Does what you say have anything to do with celebrities investing in restaurants?" Emily is the quickest of the three girls and the most easily unable to hold their breath.
"You know the Plaza Accord, right? The dollar exchange rate has been lowered and falling, and the turmoil caused by this in the international financial market is not a day or two, but two days ago, the defense minister and the director of the CIA left for Kuwait.
You know what that means...... War. War means rising prices and panic.
At this time, finance has become a game that only insiders or wise people can play, and ordinary people are now wise to go ashore and leave the sea area to insiders and wise men to fight.
Investing in the restaurant industry is the wisest thing to do.
When troubled times come. The Wall Street elite is likely to sit in a city with a lot of waste paper, but the restaurateur leads his family and staff to survive because he usually stocks up a lot of food.
Of course, this is all the result of my cranky thinking when writing some novels, and in fact, the restaurant industry is the most stable source of income.
Many people can go without watching movies, playing games, listening to music for the rest of their lives, and even in some places people can go without clothes for the rest of their lives.
But with the exception of the best Buddhists, who can rely on some singular way of breathing and a calm mind to achieve the effect of Bigu, everyone needs to eat.
Don't say that you don't eat for a day, it's uncomfortable to not eat a meal.
"No way, I don't feel happy and happy if I don't play games for a day." Little Liv pouted and refuted Caesar's fallacies with a naΓ―ve expression.
"Yes, yes, our two little babies are little princesses who have no shortage of food, drink, and fun, and no one is willing to let you suffer.
But I want to sue you, everything must be done in moderation, if entertainment becomes some kind of addiction, that's not what a good boy should do, and when the time comes, others won't dare to care about you, but I'm going to beat your little ass. β
When little Liv heard this, she immediately grimaced at Caesar, and then hurriedly jumped out of her chair and trotted back to her room while covering her little ass.
Little Kailin was like an adult, glanced at the little Liv who was far away, and sighed, her expression was like that of a mother who "mourns and does not fight".
Then the little girl glanced at Caesar with disgust, and then a dignified little jumped off the chair, and returned to the room full of ladylike style.
The two girls can be said to be familiar at first sight, and under Caesar's construction, the two moved into the same large room, a bunk bed and a double bed.
It's okay if you want a student dormitory, or if you want a good sister to sleep with. Sleep which one you want.
Since they sleep in the same room, they must be good sisters and must advance and retreat together.
This is the reason why little Kailin followed little Liv back to the room, in fact, Caesar had already discovered that half of the little face exposed by little Liv around the corner was observing whether little Kailin was advancing and retreating with her.
"These two girls are going to be fine!" Caesar looked up to the sky and sighed.
"Aren't you used to it?" Judy held a management book and read it with relish. So I didn't speak for a long time, and at this time, I saw that Caesar was cheap and behaved, and I couldn't stand it anymore.
"It's just because I'm used to it, so I'm extra complicated......"
Caesar didn't dare to say anything excessive, this feeling of watching his daughter-in-law grow up little by little, people who have never raised a child daughter-in-law don't understand.
I don't really want to talk about this sourness!
It took Caesar six days to get all the demands of the club members, and the contracts that should be signed and the money that should be paid for are not missing.
It all came to an end. Caesar urgently summoned the Blackwater Triumvirate.
Scott? Lewis, Richard? Hall and William? Bourne, where Richard? Hale hadn't seen Caesar in a few days, and he spent most of his time traveling between the United States and South America as the headmaster of the Hunter Academy.
At present, there are more than 3,000 people enrolled in the Hunter Academy, and less than 3,000 have actually entered the training, and only three batches of students have graduated, a total of 27 people.
In the face of this elimination rate, if Caesar was carrying the smartphone in his previous life, he would want to call the police.
In the case of a period of only ten graduates. I can't get enough of the number of graduates in three phases???
"What are you training for? The Devil? Caesar looked at Richard with a calm face? Hall, the egg asked painfully.
"I don't know. I have never seen the devil, I only know that real hunters can crawl out if they are thrown into hell. Speaking of his hunters, Hall couldn't hide the pride on his face.
Even William? As one of the top leaders of Blackwater, Byrne is also full of envy for the position of Hunter Headmaster.
With Caesar's huge financial support, the special geography of South America, and the special training methods and super high elimination rate of the Hunter Academy, it can be said. The Blackwater Hunter Academy has become a refining ground for the strongest warriors in the world.
What surprised Caesar the most was that among the twenty-seven graduates, there were the most Chinese and German soldiers, adding up to a full fifteen.
Scott? Lewis took the list and looked at it for a long time. Dusted off the list with a sense of superiority: "The German ** people have always been the best in the world, there is no doubt about it, but what is the situation of this Chinese soldier?" β
Looking at Scott, who is German? Caesar was amused by Lewis's smug look at his complacency's achievements.
"Richard, tell him what's going on with the Chinese soldiers." Caesar didn't need them to say anything, he knew what was going on with the Chinese soldiers.
"The German ** people are really good, but compared with these batches of Chinese soldiers, I think the Chinese soldiers are more like the soldiers in people's impressions, only in the imagination." Richard? Hall's evaluation was so high that both William and Scott looked incredulous.
"The Chinese soldiers are like a machine, no matter what order, pay attention, I am talking about any order, they will be silent and carry it out without hesitation."
"What impressed me the most was the first hunting lesson after the third elimination, with less than fifty people left, I let them take off only **, and then go into the rainforest with their bare hands to hunt any prey that weighs more than their own weight."
"You know what? After this order was issued, the remaining seven Huaxia soldiers walked towards the gate of the academy without hesitation as if they had heard the opening of the rice bell. There was no expression, no questioning, not even a change in the gaze. β
"At that moment, I even wondered if Huaxia had sent someone from the simulator to enroll in the school. But it was also from that moment that I knew what kind of nation China was. β
"That night, the last one to come back was one of the seven Huaxia warriors, and everyone was speechless in shock when they saw him dragging a seven-hundred-pound python back to the academy's camp."
"In fact, he killed the python with a trap at noon, but it took him half a day to drag it back to the camp, and along the way he had to fight all kinds of hungry beasts watching the python's corpse."
"In this hunting class, forty people were eliminated, and the final graduates were the remaining eight people, five of whom were Chinese soldiers, and I was impressed by their tenacity."
Caesar looked impassive. I actually listened to this story with a lot of pride. The Chinese people in the seventies and eighties, especially the Chinese soldiers, were incomparable to the simplicity and pure glitz of the post-millennium era.
In particular, the soldiers who experienced the Battle of Zhenbao Island against Soviet Russia and the Battle of Vietnam are not too much to describe them as "silent war planes".
"It's such a good story, and I want to make it into a movie. I'd like to ask, though. Is the mortality rate currently high at the college? Caesar asked, slightly worried.
He wants to know the fate of those who are eliminated, which is also the weak side that he will never be able to face the war.
Li Kaize in the past life, Kaiser in this life? Li, after all, is just an ordinary person in his heart.
"The current mortality rate is zero, because we all know that the Hunter Academy is also a deal, if the elimination rate is so high, and all the eliminated ones are killed, there will be fewer and fewer applicants in the future. In the end, it was only some outlaws who dared to come, but it was not good. β
For some reason, Caesar's thoughts suddenly turned to a waterfall, and a star-looking man was even more sissy than several women on the side, and he was panicking and saying something "The stone hit me in the head!! Punch me in the head, you know??? I thought of death! But I still have a wife and children!! I also have a family and a career!! β
The appearance of this scene in his mind made Caesar seem to have 10,000 grass and mud horses in his heart for a moment, and this thing in the picture seemed to be in front of Bei Ye, a foreign host, fully rendering the sissy side of a Chinese man.
Some people say that the retired special forces of the "British Special Air Service Regiment" cannot be compared with ordinary people. That's not fair.
Caesar said in his heart, who compared Bei Ye with him? There are several female stars next to her! A soft girl. The courage and responsibility of which one is 10,000 times stronger than this sissy who shouts about career and family.
Linked to Hall's description of the Chinese soldiers just now, Caesar silently drew a question mark in his heart, when did it start that the sissy style among Chinese men was popular?
"Skinny" or "recipients" of less than seventy pounds, skinny pants, tights, and blue shaved hair on both sides. The elder left on the top of his head also had to make a curry water canopy......
Celebrities are the mirror of popular culture, what kind of celebrities people like, in fact, what kind of people they usually like.
After these thoughts flashed through his mind, Caesar chatted with the Big Three for a while, what he had seen in the academy and some recent developments in Blackwater's global defense. In the end, Caesar released the goal of gathering them.
"There's going to be a war, you know." Although Caesar was asking questions, his expression and tone were no matter how he looked and listened, and he knew very well that the other three would definitely know that there would be a fight.
"That's right, Iraq." William? Byrne was always so concise.
"The shortest is half a year, the longest is one year." Richard? Hall has been an instructor for a long time and is used to counting time.
"How many departments do we need to use?" Scott? Lewis, as a military adviser who stayed at Caesar's side, was always concerned with the specifics.
"I need to get in touch with the Pentagon first and make a rough plan, and then the three of you can decide on a specific plan of action."
"Also, I want to know, how many of the hunters who graduated from the Hunter Academy are our own people in Blackwater? Than I sue sΓΉ me, there is no one! Be careful what I peck in your face. Caesar suddenly clutched his chest as he spoke, grimacing in an unbearable manner.
"How is that possible!? How can you open a business without training your own hunters? You ask the students to do the movements, and the students ask you to demonstrate, but you can't do it? So how do you teach? "William? Bourne, a man of few words, was shocked by Caesar's ignorance, and the moment he spoke in a hurry, the cigar in his mouth almost fell to the ground.
"Fifty people, we have a full fifty officially graduated Blackwater Hunters, although I know it doesn't mean much, but I still have to say.
If enough equipment and funds are allocated, and then these 50 people are airdropped to any small European country, they can subvert the country's corruption within 72 hours, and completely control the ** team.
This is Blackwater's hole card for global defense. β
Hall chattered, but didn't see the shocked look on Caesar's face.
Isn't this TM a mercenary state? I can't remember which anime or novel I've seen this.
It seems that except for Switzerland, which has become a neutral country little by little from mercenaries, it is probably the Xanadu mercenary organization in the game "Metal Gear Solid".
"I think we might as well get a place like an offshore platform in Blackwater, and use it as a sub-base, we can't put all our eggs in the same basket, eh...... What do you mean by that? β
Caesar opened his mind and couldn't make a difference, but the other three were sober.
"Do you know how much it costs to get an offshore platform like the one you said you used as a base? It can't be too far from the land, otherwise the supply will be a huge problem, but the suitable places from the land are the territorial waters of various countries, and it is impossible to lease them to us, and ......"
"Stop!" Facing Scott? Lewis's chatter, Caesar really couldn't stand it, who would have thought that this thing would become a broken mouth by Caesar's side in the past few years...... I don't know who I learned it from.
"I just said it casually, I never thought that I would do it, you don't have to be so serious about overturning one by one. okοΌ β
"I called you here mainly to make sure you say goodbye, because some words are not easy to say on the phone, you know, after the accident at the Watergate Hotel, I am a little reluctant to call. I hope you can be careful.
To get back to the point, from now on, you have the Blackwater Hunters on standby, and if possible, I'll let them do some private work for me, in Kuwait. (To be continued......)
