Chapter 718: The Power of Capital
Hou Dasheng frowned, he couldn't believe that things would be so simple. This is simply according to the jackal's thinking, almost tailor-made. Even the jackal does not need to change the existing plan, only needs to increase its holdings and then can get assistance from the company and the building.
This smooth made Hou Dasheng a little incredulous. What about stumbling over jackals?! How did this turn into assistance?! Hou Dasheng absolutely didn't believe that those people in the company and the building would be so kind.
"Saudi Arabia is a good customer!" After Albert's phone hung up, Hou Dasheng immediately received a call from the crow. The old crow, unlike Albert, didn't play anything false. Let's get straight to the point: everyone wants to make money.
Hou Dasheng is not an ignorant rookie back then, and the old crow's words are enough for him to judge a lot of things. Saudi Arabia is a good customer, and the local tyrants have a lot of money in their hands! An oil tycoon who never lacks silver in his pocket.
No matter which way you go, you will never deny that the camels are a good group of customers. Of course, this has to be if they have money. As long as they have money in their hands, they never consider the issue of cost performance. They only think about whether the thing they buy looks amazing.
Of course, this is also one of the ways in which they are paying protection fees to certain countries. At least Hou Dasheng knew that the new equipment tanks of that Dahao had not been around for a year. Just because Midi came up with a newer tank, they took the money to update their existing tank......
The rest, helicopter gunships, drones, armored vehicles, fighter jets...... All the way to firearms and ammunition. Whatever doubts may be raised about their combat effectiveness, there is no disputable that they are indeed a highly well-armed force.
Even to a certain extent, they are more luxurious than the US military. But combat effectiveness......
Although it is said that it is not a problem at all for such luxurious weapons and equipment to overturn the Houthis. But the first thing to consider is the people who operate the equipment. What their technical level is, Hou Dasheng really doesn't dare to say.
Secondly, no one wants to let go of this opportunity to make a fortune. Even if Saudi Arabia's own combat capability can successfully win the Houthis, others will not sit idly by and watch this happen.
Of course, there has to be a degree to this. The Saudis themselves cannot have any problems, but they must have huge losses in Yemen.
Because, only if they incur losses will there be room for PMC to play. Only then will they begin to purchase a large number of weapons and equipment to supplement the consumption of their own army. War is the burning of money, especially on a large scale.
As soon as a missile is fired, millions of knives are gone. Once a group of fighters is dispatched, hundreds of thousands of knives are gone. Take the F-22 as an example, the cost of one is as high as 150 million dollars. For high-intensity training or combat, the fuel cost is as high as more than 50,000 dollars.
And that's not even counting ground handling, routine maintenance, weapons and ammunition...... and so on. Therefore, it used to be said that when a cannon sounded, it was ten thousand taels of gold. Now it's about the same, the soldiers and horses go ahead before the grain and grass are moved. Now it's not just food and grass, but also a lot of other materials consumed by the war.
In the recent Iraq war, for example, the U.S. military consumed 6 billion rounds of ammunition alone. The casualties caused by its bullets are about 24,000. In other words, it takes an average of more than 200,000 rounds of bullets to cause one casualty on the other side.
Saudi Arabia itself does not have a formed military-industrial system. As a result, tanks, warplanes, armored vehicles, ...... They need to be imported. Even ammunition, they need a lot of imports to maintain.
If it is a war, then the need for imports will only be more, not less.
"Companies and buildings want to get you in trouble, and that's there. But ......" The old crow told Hou Dasheng very bluntly on the other end of the phone: "Capital doesn't want this matter to go wrong." Especially the military-industrial complex ......"
Hearing the old crow's words, Hou Dasheng smiled. That's the root of the problem. It's not that companies and buildings don't want to get into trouble with themselves, it's that the capitals that are eyeing Yemen don't allow things to go wrong.
As long as it doesn't affect their business, companies and buildings are chasing jackals all over the world, and they won't say a word. Even if the company and the building are prohibited from using fighters and front-line fighters to participate in the encirclement and suppression.
They will only turn a blind eye, at most as an after-dinner topic. Nobody cares.
But the company and the building are now affecting their business in Yemen. These uncles are naturally not happy, we can't care about what you want to do, and we are too lazy to care. But it doesn't affect my business and making a fortune.
Whoever stands in the way of wealth is the mortal enemy. The goal of the partial jackal is the same as theirs. If you want to make Saudi Arabia hurt, you can't let Saudi Arabia run. It's better to be so deadlocked, and fight for four, five, six, seven, or eight years.
The longer you fight, the more money you make! It's better to play for a dozen years, and by the way, advertise their new weapons or something. In fact, it's not just many of them that think the same way.
Like what...... The two bigwigs behind the Houthis. One is inconvenient to come forward, and the other is to directly send part of his elite combat forces. The Persians never gave up access to the Middle East.
Yemen is a window that opens, and Saudi Arabia has to fight this war whether it wants it or not.
"Just follow the plan." The old crow said lightly on the other end of the phone: "You can leave this matter to the iron arm to do." There won't be any problems, all you need to do is stay on top of the big picture. Don't always be on the battlefield. ”
But I heard the old crow on the other end of the phone, and said softly: "You start now, you must be able to contact at all times." A lot of news, only you can know. You can't afford to lose contact, or the jackal may have a bigger loss. ”
"I see." Hou Dasheng exhaled and said in a low voice. He knew what the old crow meant, and now the company and the building were under pressure to change their plans. But if the war goes on for a long time, and the jackals call the shots, they are in Yemen.
As a result, the level of knowledge of relevant information is not high. That might give these two parties an opportunity to create something at will. It's a very simple thing for them.
A single coordinate error was able to allow a missile to land on the position of the jackal. Anything can happen in a war, and the U.S. military has not spared cluster bombs on their own heads. Blown up, there is really no way to say anything.
Of course, they couldn't have dropped bombs on Paris. And as long as Hou Dasheng is not lost, they lose their iron arms, and Hou Dasheng will inevitably find this field. This is the same as the manager, as long as there is no problem, whoever moves the person at the service station must retaliate whether he wants to or not.
And it was a tragic revenge. Only in this way will those who are ready to move choose to stop fighting......
