Is there a mistake? Marcus is in charge of the R&D and manufacturing of weapons and equipment for the mercenary legion, he almost thought that the numbers were wrong when he heard this set of numbers, and the rest of the people also looked at Thompson, the army is really not moving, and it is a blockbuster when it moves!

"You report this data to the proprietress to listen, believe it or not, she kicked you out? Damn, you really dare to ask for it, although the price of the international crude oil market has risen, there must be a substantial improvement in the financial aspect, and I can't stand your method! ”

"The aircraft manufactured by these most cutting-edge technologies of the Air Force alone will cost at least $200 billion, and this is not the US F-15 or F-16 fighter jet, which can be built for $20 million or $30 million, and according to current prices, a Haidongqing-1 single-seat twin-engine supersonic all-weather stealth heavy fighter will cost at least $200 million at the factory!"

"Thirteen aircraft carriers need six hundred and twenty-four carrier-based aircraft, twenty-two amphibious assault ships, five hundred and twenty-eight vertical take-off and landing fighters, and the standard American fourth-generation fighter and Russian fifth-generation fighter add up to three hundred billion dollars!"

"There are also 30 missile destroyers or missile cruisers, a sea elf combat system will cost hundreds of millions of dollars, the cost of a killer whale-class 10,000-ton stealth drive will reach 2 billion US dollars, and 30 ships will be 60 billion US dollars! An amphibious dock landing ship costs two billion dollars, an integrated supply ship costs $500 million, and a strategic high-speed catamaran transport ship costs $300 million! ”

"Don't forget it, don't forget it, these weapons and equipment you want don't have a trillion dollars, you definitely can't get it, more than 100 billion dollars a year for seven years, you have a dollar printing machine at home as a mercenary?" Marcus was so excited that he almost sprayed Thompson in the face.

He has less than half a year to become the federal chief executive of the Golden Triangle, and taking advantage of the great opportunity of rising oil prices, it is the time to prepare to show his strength, and if the army does this, the government budget in terms of finance will be reduced by at least 20 percent, because this is the investment in weapons and equipment, not counting the cost of personnel!

"The world's total annual oil output is 4 billion tons, according to the proportion of oil resources, if all the oil fields we develop are invested, at least 1 billion tons can be produced, according to the oil price of 50 US dollars, each ton is almost 300 US dollars of net profit, which is 300 billion US dollars, and I only want one-third of this income."

"The net profit of oil companies is only the largest single item of Atlantis International Group's fiscal revenue in the Golden Triangle, and oil prices continue to grow, and I expect the total annual revenue to reach $400 billion to $500 billion or more."

"You don't have to cry poor with me, you can't spend a penny, after all, the economy of the Golden Triangle Federation is also developing at a high speed, and there are more and more projects of fiscal revenue, and we have never calculated the taxes on foreign investment and local business, nor have we calculated the income from real estate."

"In the past, the income of the military industry was used to support government finances, but now in the face of an opponent like the United States, the quantity and quality of weapons and equipment are related to the success or failure of the war. You don't need to use government funds, just give us the income of the military industry! Hunter, the chief of the general staff, said with a smile.

Count it on you, Marcas gritted his teeth and picked up a Cuban cigar and lit one, puffing on the smoke fiercely. He can see that today this gang of bastards is joining forces to ask the treasury for money. According to the current revenue and expenditure situation of the government's finances, although there is pressure, it will not hurt his muscles and bones, and the key is that he is not willing to invest so much money.

The total number of the US army is almost 700,000 fewer than that of the mercenary corps, but the military expenditure is ten times that of the mercenary corps, and even so it is still increasing every year.

This time, Thompson's demand for military spending of $150 billion a year, including personnel expenditures, within seven years is really not a lion's mouth. Perhaps one day, mercenaries will also reach the level of US military spending, but only if the GDP meets the requirements.

According to Wu Chen's plan, the proportion of military spending should not exceed 10 percent at most, and then decrease year by year, and finally reduce to 3 percent.

It's not that Wu Chen wants to rely on quantity instead of quality, but the territory of the mercenary army is too big, and more than two million people are scattered to dozens of countries, and there are not many sincerely. In his strategic vision, the member states of the Golden Triangle Federal Organization for International Cooperation will themselves abolish the army and focus on economic development, and all defense affairs will be handed over to the mercenary corps.

When the economies of these countries improve, they will definitely have to bear a part of the military spending, which is about 2 percent, so that the financial pressure on the federal government of the Golden Triangle will be greatly reduced, and it will be free to do more.

The South American summit was held in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, and the preliminary communication had already been completed, this time it was a signing ceremony, which became the South American Community of Nations, and there was an important thing after the meeting, that is, to participate in the South American countries weapons and equipment fair held by the mercenary corps.

"For Thompson's requirements, I have long been prepared for this, the current active weapons and equipment of the mercenary corps are basically made in the United States and the former Soviet Union during the Cold War, after many upgrades, the performance is not bad, second-hand goods are cheap to buy and expensive to use, that is, we have the ability and conditions in a country with an extremely developed military industry, and if it is an ordinary country, I am afraid that it will vomit blood a long time ago."

"I have always been able to save, can not save a penny and do not save, the navy and the air force are high-tech services, not only training, weapons and equipment must not be careless, we do not develop aircraft carriers for the time being, because this kind of large surface ships, will usher in a new era, steam catapults will face elimination, for this reason, I decided to suspend manufacturing, and wait until the expert group cracks the technology of electromagnetic catapults, we will consider."

"Just operate according to this plan, write a detailed list and a plan for the manufacturing cost and report it to me as soon as possible, design a separate missile cruiser, build twenty-six ships, increase the number of killer whale-class 10,000-ton stealth drives by thirty-nine, and do not move anything else for the time being." Wu Chen said after receiving a call from Marcas.
