Chapter 661: Passing on the Risk

Because the USS Oriscani aircraft carrier has to be sold twice for dismantling, the ship's electronic equipment and weapons have been dismantled by the US Navy, in fact, it is not much use to keep it, and the old things have no value.

As for the power facilities of the aircraft carrier, they are intact, because the outdated steam turbines or something, they are also scrap metal when they are dismantled. After so many years of not starting the machine, it is estimated that a comprehensive overhaul will be required after getting it, and this cost is not small.

But Wu Chen thinks the investment is well worth it, the aircraft carrier is made of special steel, the hull is durable and the interior space is amazing, ten floors can be built into at least six floors as a casino, and thousands of rooms can be renovated, including restaurants and performance venues. The use of aircraft carriers as carriers of maritime casinos is itself a symbol of propaganda and strength, and there is really no force other than mercenaries who have such a skill.

"Boss, the two things on the American side have been done, there is no resistance at all, not only did they get this aircraft carrier, but also got a lot of shipboard equipment, and the problem of the production line was solved, a total of two million dollars and one cents were spent, and I also got a rebate of half a million dollars." Marcus said with a smile.

It only took two days for Marcas to give feedback on the contact information, and the US Navy happily sold the old aircraft carrier to the Golden Triangle International Security Company at a price of one cent in the name of recycling the scrap materials, and even agreed to give the equipment that many warships and aircraft carriers had been replaced because of upgrading and transformation to the mercenary corps.

Among them, there are four Tomahawk cruise missile launch boxes, twin Standard-2 and Harpoon anti-ship missile launchers, a phalanx close defense system, electronic countermeasure decoy launchers, towed decoy devices, three-coordinate radars, fire control radars, and early warning radars, and so on.

With the approval of the Presidential Office and the Ministry of Defense, the production line of the F-14 Tomcat carrier-based aircraft, Northrop sold it all to the mercenary corps at the price of scrap iron, which is equivalent to solving a big burden for them, and in order to thank Marcas, the arms giant also gave a kickback.

"According to the Secretary of the Navy, this application we submitted has made the bigwigs of the Presidential Office and the Ministry of Defense very happy, thinking that this is what mercenaries should do, and making money is the last word." Marcus continued, somewhat amused.

Even if it is the world's largest mercenary organization, even if it has the world's top five huge military forces, even if it has established its own country, in the eyes of the US government, it cannot change its prejudice against mercenaries, which is also the attitude of the vast majority of countries at present.

Mercenaries are a group of guys who give up their souls for money, they are full-time killing machines, and no matter how beautiful their clothes are, they can't hide their essential brutality. Such as fighting, killing, drinking, pickling girls, gambling, etc., this is their normal way of life, and it is very logical to engage in a sea casino.

The U.S. government was very pleased to see that the mercenary corps was finally on the "right path", so it generously sold the aircraft carrier that could not be sold and was ready to be blown up and sunk to Marcas for one cent, and encouraged them to continue walking.

The Presidential Office and the Department of Defense have said that we are strategic cooperative partners, and your maritime casinos will enjoy the protection and support of the US Navy, and can be temporarily docked and repaired at US naval bases.

"You hurry up and deal with these business, the Golden Triangle Federation is about to hold a grand founding ceremony, you need to be responsible for a lot of work, don't delay the big event, there will be heads of state or important people from various countries to attend, and the diplomatic department will be ready to receive it in advance." Wu Chen said.

For Wu Chen, the remarks and attitude of the US government are like a chaotic wind, and it is not worth thinking about it. The most important thing at the moment is the founding ceremony of the Golden Triangle Federation and the territorial rights of the South Kuril Islands, and he needs to rush to Iran and Saudi Arabia immediately to coordinate funds, and the eyes of the Russian government and others are green.

The mercenary corps and Iran have tens of billions of dollars in military-industrial cooperation, including an 80,000-ton aircraft carrier, four ballistic missile nuclear submarines, four Kilo-class conventionally powered submarines, as well as 300 fighter jets, 30 strategic bombers and 100 tactical transport aircraft, plus the follow-up ammunition supply, the transaction amount between the two sides is at least 100 billion US dollars, so Wu Chen's arrival has been treated by the Iranian side with high standards.

"We in Iran believe that Russia has inherited the nuclear arsenal of the former Soviet Union and has become the only military power in the world that can compete head-on with the United States, but the economic aspect has become a fatal flaw, and the current situation is very dangerous, once Russia continues to inflation and the depreciation of the ruble, and the government's finances collapse, the United States will lose its power to restrain it, which means that there is no obstacle to the road to a unipolar world, and this problem must be solved."

"Although Iran's finances are also very tight, after the ruling of the spiritual leader, the government has decided to allocate $20 billion to the Federal Government of the Golden Triangle as a loan to aid Russia.

"The Golden Triangle Federal Government is the best third party, although the amount of this money is not much, but it is not easy for Iran to come up with, we need this money to really use to curb inflation, develop the domestic economy, the Iranian government will authorize the Golden Triangle Federal Bank to allocate as needed, and wait until the Russian economy improves, and then return the money." Wu Chen was received by the head of a special agency for a spiritual leader in Iran.

When Wu Chen first arrived, he first went to meet with the spiritual leader, and the two sides exchanged views on the current situation in the world, and confirmed the comprehensive strategic cooperative relationship between the Golden Triangle Federation and Iran, and Iran will allow mercenaries to set up a naval base and oil and gas reserve base on the island of Qeshm in the Strait of Hormuz, without a lease period.

Wu Chen also promised to provide the Iranian military with sophisticated anti-ship missiles and anti-aircraft missiles, and to reconcile the necessary ties between Iran and the Gulf countries; religious conflicts need an intermediary of sufficient weight, and everyone's strategic orientation is the same; the Middle East cannot become under the control of the United States, and they must make their own decisions about their own affairs.

More importantly, Wu Chen shoulders a mission, that is, Iran wants to develop civilian nuclear energy, and the Russian government wants to escort this, provide relevant technology and nuclear fuel, and help Iran build nuclear power plants.

Wu Chen knew that it was impossible for Iran to develop nuclear weapons, which would be desperately opposed by various countries, and would usher in rounds of sanctions, so he suggested that the construction of nuclear power plants should be handed over to the Russian government, so that there would be no problem, and Russia has always resolutely opposed other countries possessing nuclear weapons.
