Chapter Eighty-Two: Wealth Rolls In
When the war broke out in March 2003, the United States launched a war against Iraq without authorization, bypassing the United Nations, under the pretext that Iraq supported terrorists and possessed weapons of mass destruction.
Originally, they thought that the war should end soon, but unfortunately Murphy knew that this war would last for a long time, and Murphy didn't know what was behind the war, and he wasn't interested in it, anyway, his ghost group had a lot of orders. Even orders for cars have skyrocketed, especially for SUVs and pickups.
The ghost group currently has no idea of expanding again, Murphy realistically wants to consolidate the current market, and at the same time he needs a lot of cash, and this time Murphy directly invested a large amount of money in the futures market, and the price of crude oil will inevitably fall, and Murphy will naturally not let go of the opportunity since he knows.
This is his first time in the futures market, and in the past he only bought low and sold high in the stock market, and this move caused Wall Street to reassess Murphy.
At the beginning of the war, Stark Industries' various missiles flew all over the sky, more than two thousand missiles were launched, and Stark Industries made a lot of money, which made Murphy a little red-eyed. The price of such consumables can range from hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions of dollars for a missile, and what is the number of more than two thousand?
And then the Ghost Rapid Reaction Brigade quickly attacked and began ground operations, and the power of the Ghost armored vehicle was revealed, with the best speed, protection, and firepower, which made the progress of the ground forces very rapid, and there was no longer a saying that they could not keep up.
The beginning of the war looked very good, and the war will soon be over, and everyone can go home as soon as possible, this is the idea of ordinary soldiers. Little could they have imagined that this would be a huge quagmire, a quagmire that you can't get out of no matter how much you struggle.
Stark Industries' missiles are too profitable, and Murphy is red-eyed to watch, but he has an agreement with Tony Stark not to get involved in the missile business, but fortunately, the performance of the Ghost armored car has been praised by the front-line soldiers, and some people say that this armored car saved their lives. The Spectre's new armor is really highly protected, which allows soldiers not to skip the worry of a surprise attack, especially a suicide bomber.
Countries urged the Ghost Group to produce quickly, they didn't want to equip it to the front line, but they wanted to form a rapid reaction brigade themselves, and Huaxia also wanted to buy it, of course they knew that it was impossible, but Murphy really sold it. For this reason, the US military and government were very dissatisfied, but they could not do anything, and the ghost group did not care about any prohibition at all, and directly sold it, which greatly surprised the Chinese government and directly placed an order for eight brigades.
The reason why the eight brigades are on par with the rapid reaction brigades of the United States, no more than you and no less than you, there is some-for-tat, but they will not surpass you. The actions of the ghost group really surprised Huaxia, and they began to think about the problem of aircraft carriers, which is not something that can be tested casually, but at this time another surprise came.
Jack has been in charge of Huaxia Motors, he flew to Huaxia again, asked whether to order an aircraft carrier, this time Huaxia is a little at a loss, aircraft carriers and armored vehicles are different, that is a modern war weapon, especially with carrier-based aircraft!
The United States received the news, and now it couldn't sit still, and directly questioned the ghost group, and Murphy personally received it in his villa. The Ghost Group does not have a headquarters building now, and this matter should have been put on the agenda a long time ago, and Murphy is hesitating where to put it? It stands to reason that Manhattan, New York, would be the most suitable, but it will inevitably be a war-torn area in the future, and Murphy doesn't know what it will do.
His plan needs aliens to invade the earth in the early stage, and when he appears in front of the public as a savior, and his own armament will also appear at this time, then it is not appropriate for the group headquarters to be placed here.
After all, the investment in Africa is not small, and there will be heavy industry construction one after another, and the geographical location of New York is the most suitable, so there has been no plan to build until now.
"Mr. Murphy, we know that you are powerful, but is it appropriate that such a weapon sale seriously threatens the national security of the United States?" The general was furious.
"Oh, don't you think it's appropriate? Do you want me to relocate the factory? Directly move the group to Huaxia, what do I want to sell at that time? I'm not a real American, I'm not even a human, what kind of national security are you talking to me? Murphy smiled dismissively.
"...... you" The general was dumbfounded, the other party is a robot, what it is so far they have not been determined, at present, it is temporarily counted as artificial intelligence, according to the information obtained by S.H.I.E.L.D., the other party was born in the network, and the system system was accidentally produced. It is unrealistic to talk to him about patriotism, especially in today's modern era, where this specter can invade global networks, and they have no way to stop it until now.
"What am I? I just make money, it's all my own technology, I can sell it as much as I want, I have more advanced things, but it's a pity that the current earthlings can't understand these technologies, otherwise I would have sold them a long time ago. I'm improving the technological reserves of all mankind, this is a great thing, weapons are the essence of science and technology concentration, I am leading you to close the gap with the civilization of the universe, you should thank me, understand? ”
"You're going to pay the price!" The general finally put down such a sentence, and then left Murphy's villa, he observed this place at the same time, but unfortunately this is basically a smart home villa, the real credibility is in the underground part, he can't see it.
The countermeasures of the American side came directly, and the supply of weapons, radars and other accessories for aircraft carriers and armored vehicles was directly stopped, but Murphy opened them again with a word. "If you stop supplying, then I'll produce more advanced ones myself, and you can do it!"
So the supply of all parties began again, they didn't want to use their own use is not as good as Huaxia, so Huaxia also placed an order for six aircraft carriers at one time, they did not want to stimulate the United States excessively, and only ordered half of the aircraft carriers. Huaxia is currently focusing on defense, after all, the current time is different from the time when Murphy came, and Huaxia is now in the early stage of economic explosion.
Murphy directly stopped the construction of two 200,000-ton cargo ships, freed up the dock to start construction of two aircraft carriers again, and the first two ships in the United States completed outfitting and began sea trials, much earlier than the estimated three-year construction period.
And the F35 designed by Murphy naturally did not have problems, the test flights of the carrier-based aircraft went well, and the army and air force began to hope for orders.
