Chapter 227: New Film: A Call from Iraq
Calling the secretary in, Murdoch commanded in a gloomy voice: "Intensify the collection of information on Sean and his subordinate companies, be more secretive and explosive." β
"Okay." The secretary nodded.
"Also, increase the negative news coverage of Sean's company." Murdoch thought for a moment and continued: "Environmental issues, those crimes in New Jersey should also be reported more vigorously. β
"By the way, and the prisons he bought, heh, don't tell me he's doing charity, he's doing good to criminals, only a fool would believe it." Murdoch sneered, "Collect more intelligence, increase retribution, and always find the problem." β
"Let the people below be careful, and you can interview those politicians, especially those politicians and companies who have conflicts with Sean, whatever they do, I want to see the news."
"Okay, boss." The secretary continued to nod.
"Oh, yes." Murdoch remembered the same thing, "That bullshit security company hacking into Colombia, manipulating local politics, massacres, and illegally taking possession of Colombian state-owned assets is nothing short of a banditry." β
"The life of the local people in Colombia is miserable!"
"The country will not be a country, and the water is in dire straits!"
The Mouth of the Media......
As for what the facts are, does it matter?
Doesn't matter!
It doesn't matter what the people of Cartagena think, they can't make any sound.
β¦β¦
When it comes to thinking about people's hearts, Norris is really powerful.
Sean said to let him bring old Spock over to read the script, and the guy only brought it in the afternoon.
As soon as I entered the door, I happened to see Sean lying on the sofa, holding two women on the left and right, Diane reading the newspaper to Sean, and Elizabeth Hurley feeding Sean fruit.
As soon as they saw Norris coming with someone, the two women hurriedly jumped up from Sean's side, Elizabeth nodded lightly at Norris, it was Norris who sent her to Sean's bed, this is a relation.
Diane glared at Norris viciously, and Norris could only pretend not to see it and coughed lightly, "Boss, Mr. Leonard Nimoy is here." β
Only then did the two women see that Norris was still followed by someone, and immediately turned around with a red face and walked upstairs.
Although it is common for female stars in Hollywood to climb into the boss's bed, the words of the two women are still very topical......
Leonard Nimoy was in a dark suit with a smile on his face, but he looked a little ferocious.
Sean stood up and shook Leonard Nimoy's hand, let the maid serve coffee and exchanged a few words before getting down to business.
Leonard Nimoy took out the script and handed it to Sean, who quickly flipped through it.
The story takes place in a high-end apartment in Manhattan, three men with different jobs, but all amorous, pick up a newborn baby at the door, and the three of them have to juggle among various celebrities and take care of the baby, during which there is a ridiculous story.
The whole story highlights a strong sense of contrast, a romantic scumbag and a peerless dad who loves his daughter, there are constant conflicts and contradictions, and there are many funny scenes.
Sean closed the script and couldn't help but look Leonard Nimoy up and down, it was hard to imagine that such a person would write such a 'love' thing, "You have a daughter? β
"Yes, I've been married for 28 years and my daughter is lovely." Leonard Nimoy said with a smile.
"What is your budget for this show?" Sean asked casually.
"My budget is at 5 million."
Sean raised his eyebrows, this is a bit of a lion's mouth, this story is all supported by the plot, and the filming location is very simple, it doesn't cost much at all, Sean seems that 3 million is definitely done.
"Mainly, we need to buy the adaptation rights of "Three Men and a Cradle" first." Leonard Nimoy was a little embarrassed.
"Huh!?" Sean was stunned.
"I know, last year's movie, it seems to be French, this movie is quite interesting." Norris was stunned.
"Yes, great, they've decided to participate in this year's Oscars, in the impact of the best foreign language film, directed by Ms. Corinna Cerro." Leonard Nimoy explained.
"Expected to be the best foreign language film......" Sean touched his chin, and at the mention of this, he remembered something.
He remembered that Jackie Chan seemed to have filmed a story of three men and a child, and the plot was similar, and he forgot what his name was, but it seemed to be quite popular in Asia.
Later, the three brothers also remade it.
"You brought a videotape, right?" Sean asked.
"Brought it." Leonard Nimoy nodded and pulled out two tapes from his briefcase, which Norris intuitively took and put into the VCR.
When the opening credits played, Sean thought for a moment and shouted, "Diane, Elizabeth, come down to watch the movie!" β
shouted, Sean didn't care, ten minutes later, the two women were late, Sean glanced at it, good guy, it was really a woman, and she didn't forget to put on makeup at home.
The two girls and Leonard Nimoy smiled and nodded, and although they couldn't figure out what Sean meant, they still sat quietly and watched the movie.
At an hour and a half, Sean's feeling was warm, romantic, loving, and funny, but he was more inclined to humor, and he could only be said to be worthy of being a female director.
After watching the movie, that sense of familiarity made Sean more sure that Jackie Chan was later remade and filmed with Principal Gu.
"What do you think, Mr. Sean?" After the movie was shown, Leonard Nimoy asked Sean in contemplation.
"The culture is different, the French are romantic and loose, but the Americans are more liberal and open, and the warmth should be retained, and the comedy component should be increased." Sean commented.
"Mr. Sean, that's right, that's what I thought!" Leonard Nimoy looked a little excited, and Sean said that he was ready to invest.
"Since it's a remake, it's better to buy the copyright back directly, is there a problem?" Sean turned his head to look at Norris.
"Of course, of course!" Norris patted his chest and reassured.
"Director Leonard, I won't be involved in the casting of the male lead, this movie will be handed over to you, then you will be fully responsible, but the female characters in this are ......"
Norris immediately whispered in Leonard Nimoy's ear.
"If Miss Diane Lynne and Miss Elizabeth Hurley had a schedule, it would be my luck, and their youthful beauty is God's masterpiece, and it will surely add a lot of color to this play." Leonard Nimoy said with a smile.
Diane Lynn smiled reservedly, and Elizabeth looked at Sean dumbfounded.
Just climbed into the boss's bed, and the character came!?
What's a fucking surprise?
Sean smiled and nodded to the two girls, with Diane Lyne's current reputation in Hollywood, he disdains this kind of small production, unless it is a literary film, invite her, the salary is indispensable.
This is Sean's compensation for her, after all, from beginning to end, Sean has never publicly admitted that Diane is his girlfriend.
Diane's salary in the first "Bank Robbery" was only 100,000, and Sean in the second "Die Hard" gave her a salary of 1 million, and the 7-80s were the low tide of Hollywood actresses' salaries, 1 million was already the price of a first-line actress.
Barbra Streisand, with the movie "Wonderful Girl", became the Oscar-winning actress tied with Hepburn and the only double yolk egg in Oscar history, and her box office appeal was one of the best in that era, film, television, and song, all of which achieved the most remarkable achievements, and only got a salary of 6.5 million US dollars in 1991.
In this movie, Sean will give her 1.5 million, the four jade girls, and she is so sensible, cough cough, right, it deserves to be rewarded.
Elizabeth's words, after all, Sean just asked for the body of a little girl, of course, it is necessary to say something, and the salary is normal.
The little girl hadn't played any roles before, and she was a pure newcomer, and she didn't know where Norris got the brute from.
Really......
That's great!
"Our beautiful Miss Diane is already a first-line actress, but Elizabeth has just debuted, so I bothered Director Leonard to teach me a lot, and I also hope that Elizabeth can have a good start in the future." Sean stood up and shook Leonard's hand with a smile.
"Of course, of course, Mr. Sean, don't worry." Leonard said with a laugh.
"Oh, yes." Sean suddenly remembered something, blinked and said, "Leonard, you can communicate with Katzenberg first." β
"Huh!?" Leonard was a little dumbfounded, and if it weren't for the fact that Sean winked at him, he would have thought he had misheard.
Katzenberg, isn't that the top of Paramount?
He, Leonard, has been working with Paramount for more than 20 years, and he is half a Paramount, how can he not know him.
It's just, look at the current meaning...... Leonard shook his head, Paramount, what the fuck is wrong with this?
The top management jumped ship all of a sudden!
With a mixture of joy and mixed feelings, Leonard left.
Next to her, her face flushed with excitement, and Elizabeth, who was trembling all over, jumped on Sean and sang and screamed.
Sure enough, if you want to be on top, you must sleep with the boss first, and the ancients will not deceive me.
Elizabeth has decided that she must use more poses to repay her boss!
Diane Lynn rolled her eyes and pouted, little smashed.
But thinking of that bitch named Sharon Stone, Diane decided to put up with it, and in order to tie Sean's heart, she could only choose to win over a few allies and form an Allied front!
β¦β¦
Sean came to Los Angeles to find the captain of his soon-to-be-established media group, which was basically completed.
For the rest, there is not much Sean to worry about, the main thing is to pay for it.
Fortunately, because of the military exercises, the business of the trading area in Cartagena has been on the right track recently, and the $45 million at the bottom of the box has finally been successfully transferred, and all of it has flowed into the hands of those rebels in Colombia in a short time.
The 45 million, after some operations, was deposited in batches by several people into the branch of Sean Bank in Cartagena.
As for the question of whether the source of funds is legitimate, the official Cartagena is his own family, so naturally he will not say anything.
Subsequently, Sean used a helicopter to transfer the money into the United States, which was a mouthful of blood.
It's just that this mouthful of blood has just returned, and it was immediately arranged out.
20 million will be allocated to Sean Film Company as a support for Katzenberg, and at the same time, it will also shoot "Goodfellas", buy the rights, shoot "Three Dads and One Baby", and it will cost money to build your own studio.
Sean approached Katzenberg to discuss, and the scenes for the filming of "Goodfellas" and "Three Daddys and One Baby" were all built by himself, and he no longer rented a studio from Universal.
Although this will increase the cost a lot, these villas, bars, and everything else can be used to shoot other movies in the future.
That's how the filming set was built little by little.
address, Sean didn't choose Hollywood, let alone Los Angeles.
I remember that when "Once Upon a Time in America" was filmed, the reason why more than 30 million was spent was because of the construction of a New York more than 50 years ago.
These 20 million ...... Well, it will be enough to start.
The reason, no money!
In fact, only Paramount and Universal have been stuck in Hollywood, Universal went to Burbank, Columbia went to Carver City.
Sean ended up choosing Santa Monica.
This is not the afterlife, Sean is ready to enclose hundreds of thousands of square meters of land first.
This thing, even if it only sells the land in the future, will be worth a lot of money!
The last 25 million was transferred to Pete Cherny as the start-up capital for the formation of the 'American Media' group.
Well, that is, the start-up capital, this little money is drizzle, and it is not enough fart at all.
But to buy six TV stations, Sean always has to put up the shelves first!
American Media Group, this time Sean is not going to use his own name.
It can only be said that people stand at different heights at different times, and the angle of looking at problems will inevitably change.
In the past, they used to use their own names, because to improve their popularity and image, it was a means to show their strength and the only way to establish their status.
It's like the early Rockefeller Oil Company.
But now, Sean no longer needs to use the company and industry to set off himself, and he has begun to have the consciousness of making a big move.
So, 'X Security' was renamed 'Umbrella', so there was 'American Media'.
Well, now Sean is ready to play the American card, pull the tiger skin, and be a big flag!
45 million were all arranged out, and Sean suddenly had a kind of wealth to make people happy.
Pleasure.
As for the large thermal power station in Cartagena, the garbage disposal business in New York, the supermarket chain business, the logistics center business, the purchase and construction of private estates, military bases in the Caribbean Sea, and palaces in the sky......
Love what's the matter, pock, no money!
Anyway, for a while, he still didn't think of any legal means of getting money.
As for the so-called quick ways to get money are written in the criminal law or something, Sean used to think so, but now......
Robbery, extortion, extortion, kidnapping, drug ...... That's still too slow!
The last time I tossed at sea for a month, it was only more than 15 million, which is not good at all!
Of course, to say how anxious Sean is, it's not true.
It's a big deal to mortgage the property to continue the loan.
Sean hadn't played the snake swallowing whale thing, but he had seen a lot more.
At that time, the Red Army Liverpool was successfully acquired by two American businessmen who were empty gloves and white wolves, and they were successfully acquired without spending a penny, and the means were later exposed, and Sean remembered it clearly.
To put it simply, a VAM agreement.
Sign a VAM agreement with the bank, use the bank's money to buy it, and then mortgage all the property to the bank, and then slowly repay it.
Sean doesn't have too many good assets in his hands, and the bank is not afraid that he won't be able to do it.
As for whether Monroe Dive, the banker who manages Sean's assets, will be mad, Sean can't care so much.
Sean was lying on a deck chair in the garden, next to Diane Lynn peeling grapes and feeding them to Sean.
Next to him, Martin Scorsese held the script of "Goodfellas" in his hand and told Sean about the whole movie in his head.
Martin Scorsese was born in New York in 1942, and experienced the most glorious era of the 'Five Families' at that time.
In 1972, he directed "Bad Streets", starring Robert De Niro, showing the difficult life of Charlie on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York, a descendant of Italian immigrants, and finding a way out of the troubles and anxieties, which is a classic in gangster films.
In 1976, he filmed "Taxi Driver", which was still set in New York, telling the story of the embarrassing and confused people in the United States after the end of the Vietnam War, the economic recession, and a taxi driver who drove a taxi every day to witness the depravity of New York, and finally became a public hero dramatically.
The film won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes International Film Festival.
Oh yes, and the lead actor is still Robert De Niro.
Later, in 1980, "Raging Bull", nominated for Best Director at the Academy Awards.
Last year, 1985, the black comedy "After Work", the award for best director at the 39th Cannes International Film Festival.
The iron-clad Robert De Niro, the heroine of the flowing water.
is like the love story of Feng Xiaogang and Uncle Ge.
"It's good, it's very artistic, it's like a picture scroll slowly unfolding, showing the chaotic life of 50 New York." Sean smiled and praised, waving his arms as if it were real, but Diane Lynn next to him was sure that the man next to him was deceiving people again.
It's like ...... For the last time.
"I'm glad you can say that, I'm very happy with this script, I feel like he just made it for me." Martin Scorsese had a smile on his face, and when he saw Sean, he felt very close.
Maybe it's a problem......
"However, I have a little other ideas." Sean said softly.
"You say, you are...... Well, you know that. "Martin Scorsese almost blurted out, you're a mafia, you're right.
Sean has also worked on four scripts, participated in filming, editing and other links, and now it is not just on paper, combined with the plot he has seen in his previous life, he is also half.
Brick home.
It's definitely not okay to do it yourself, and it's okay to point fingers.
"In this world, the cultural level of the vast majority of audiences is indeed limited, especially those who watch this kind of gangster movie, 99.99% of them speak very poorly, I want to say that they have no artistic bacteria, and they absolutely can't understand any pictures."
"To the judges, that's fine, but, to these people who live at the bottom." Sean shook his head, high and low.
Martin Scorsese opened his mouth, and for a while, he had to nod his head in agreement with Sean's statement.
Artists will inevitably have literary diseases.
(Even if it's like me in 40 years...... οΌ
But in front of investors, he can't say that I make movies to win awards, and to hell with the box office or something!
You copper-stinking vampire, you ruined art!
Deng Guangrong scolded and left the chat group.
If Martin dared to say that, Sean dared to hang the old man and beat him.
The movie "Goodfellas" is indeed a bit problematic in the front, the narrative time is too long, and it is not exciting enough.
"Earlier, before the protagonist Henry was imprisoned, this paragraph should fully show the 'freedom' and 'wantonness' of a gangster, who fulfills his wishes, is domineering, and is brotherly and righteous."
"If it weren't for these, there wouldn't be so many young people who would be attracted to gangster life, and it is precisely because of enough enthusiasm and excitement that generations of young people will devote themselves to it."
"In this way, after the protagonist is in prison, his wife tells him that the gang is not taking care of his family as agreed, so that there is enough conflict and contrast."
"In this way, it laid the groundwork for some of the blackening of the follow-up protagonists, and finally reflected that the gangs and gangs, with one foot in the coffin and the other in the prison, have no good end."
"It's more real and it's more exciting, what do you say, Director Martin?" Sean opened his mouth and ate the grapes handed over to him in one gulp, slamming Diane Lynn's fingers hard by the way, making a 'wave' sound.
Martin's expression was weird, and he had a hard time.
One foot in a coffin, one foot in prison?
Can you fucking look at yourself before you say that!?
Be a person!
You liar!
Oh, by the way, it's better to live in prison than out there......
"Maybe there is a certain difference between your experience and the real situation, after all, you haven't really joined the mafia, director." Sean smiled strangely, "Otherwise, I'll arrange for you to experience it, you're only 44 years old, you're still very young, why don't you give yourself a chance." β
"Ah, this ......," reason told Martin, this is not good!
But, for some reason, Martin nodded his head in agreement.
When he left Sean's villa, Martin was in a trance, how could he agree to be a mafia as a big director?
Why do you book a ticket?
Damn, it must have been magical!
"Oh my God, dear, you're not going to completely ruin a great director, are you?" Diane Lynn looked at Martin's back, worry and helplessness written on her face.
The mouth of the man next to him ...... It doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman, it's all a lie.
It doesn't pay for your life to cheat the dead!
"What doesn't open up a new world for him?" Sean spread his hands, "In this society, there is sunshine and darkness, but the underworld is also a society." β
"You don't just think that the mafia is really bad, do you?"
"Ah, isn't it?" Diane looked at Sean in confusion.
"Of course not, how can a purely bad existence still be full of vitality after thousands of years?" At this moment, Sean is like a philosopher.
"Then I don't know, but ......" Diane Lynne gently swiped her fingers across Sean's chest, and her head slowly lowered, "then let me be Kangkang, are you bad." β
? (?? 3?)? β°γ²β―
"Hiss......"
β¦β¦
"Bell bell bell ......"
The big brother next to him sounded tirelessly, Sean closed his eyes, grabbed it, and "hiss...... Who! β
"Sean, it's me, Bill." Bill didn't hear something wrong with Sean's voice, and he was a little excited, "Sean, I just got a phone call and I feel compelled to tell you. β
"Ah, so, you say." Sean took a deep breath and pressed Diane's head with one hand to tell her not to stop, as he spoke into the phone.
"I just received a call from abroad from the umbrella side, and the call is from Iraq."
Sean:???
"They want to inquire about whether our umbrella can take on tasks against military targets in other countries."
"No, you wait a minute!" Sean was stunned by the news.
Hearing this, Diane Lynn raised her head and suddenly left the warm and humid cave, and jumped.
"It's not about you, you go on!" Sean hurriedly pressed Diane back again.
Bill: (o_o)??
What the hell are you doing?
"Iraq's call?"
"Yes, I asked Armstrong to check it, the call is from Iraq."
"Ha, no, what are they trying to do? Returning military targets to other countries, these guys won't want to hire us to fight Iran, right? Sean thought it was incredible, but he couldn't imagine anything else.
The Iran-Iraq war, Iraq and Iran, fought from 1980 to 1988, a full 8 years.
In the end, the rabbit won!
Yes, the rabbit won big and won hemp.
"Who knows, the man just asked, I said I wanted to ask the boss, and he hung up and said that he would contact him tomorrow." Bill laughed and said, "Still, I think it's about the same." β
"Shhh Sean exhaled.
Bill: "Shit, what the hell are you doing?" β
"I'm doing something happy." Sean laughed and straightened up, "When he calls again, you tell him that we are a commercial company, we do not represent any party, we do not have any political position, we only accept business orders, and we only do business things." β
"Hiss......"
"Tell him that money has nothing to do with politics!"
"As long as it doesn't violate U.S. law!"
"In this world, only money has no borders!"
"Fack!" Bill waved his hand excitedly.
Sean looked down at Diane, who was struggling, "Yes, Fack! β
Hanging up the phone, Sean directly turned over and sat up, picked up Diane Lynn, and violently pushed the ......
"Ahh
The call in Iraq made Sean smell of money!
This made Sean extremely excited, and sure enough, the luck of a handsome man like a reader will not be bad.
It didn't take long for Diane Lynn to beg for mercy......
β¦β¦
Originally, Sean thought that he would have to wait for many days before there would be news, after all, this was at the national level, but it was unexpected.
The next day, Bill received a phone call, and he passed on Sean's meaning as it was, and the other party quickly understood and expressed satisfaction.
Sean was very happy to receive the news that he was going to return to Newark as soon as possible.
Diane Lynn was unusually clingy and followed straight to Newark.
It's Elizabeth, because she is about to appear on the big screen for the first time soon, and has been immersed in the acting cram school arranged for her by the company recently.
The multiplayer campaign came to an abrupt end, much to Sean's pity.
Fortunately, there are people like Norris around him, this kind of thing is not in a hurry, and sooner or later there will be a chance.
The next day, Sean arrived in Newark, and as soon as he got off the plane, he saw Bill and his party driving over.
Diane stood on tiptoe and gently (γ₯ Μ3 Μ)γ₯β~ took a bite of Sean, and consciously got into another car, Sean and Bill sat in one.
"Sean, I have two pieces of news here." Bill smiled and gestured out two fingers.
"Good news, bad news, okay, let's talk about the bad first." Sean said with a smile.
"Wrong!" Bill laughed and said, "Two pieces of news, the first is good news and the other is also good news. β
Sean:???
Sean reached out and grabbed Bill's face and tugged at it, let me Kangkang, are you a Lu Shuren!
Bill looked confused.
After laughing for a while, Bill got down to business, two good news.
First, the Iraqi side left an encrypted satellite phone number for Bill to be easily contacted.
This is not expected by Sean, and the second one is a bit unexpected.
"Brewster Jesse is dead." Speaking of dead people, Bill has a smile on his face.
"Really!" Sean looked surprised and saved!
"Yes, I died in the hospital, cancer and organ failure, there is no way, the hospital judged, I definitely can't get off the operating table."
"Oh, really, too, alas!" Sean laughed, "By the way, I didn't check out any problems, did you?" β
This kind of big man has to have a physical examination every year, of course, it is a routine physical examination, and the kind of all-round targeted and meticulous examination from the brain to the organs is rarely done.
It's not money, it's a hassle.
Therefore, the sudden deterioration of the body is too abrupt and will definitely cause concern.
"At present, the information we have, the hospital has already concluded that Brewster Jesse was exposed to long-term exposure to radioactive sources, which led to accelerated organ failure."
Bill's expression also became solemn, "The FBI has taken over and started the investigation, the specific situation is not known yet, but there should be no problem, the porcelain was bought back by himself, and it has nothing to do with us from any aspect of the investigation." β
"What about the guy who sold Brewster?" Sean frowned and asked, this is the only loophole, if long-term irradiation will cause lesions, then the previous master will not have nothing to do.
"Dead." Bill shrugged, "What you told you to find someone who has cancer himself, that guy took the money and was dashing for a while, but he didn't last long before he died." β
"Died in the hospital due to a drug overdose, and there are detailed medical records and death reports at the hospital."
"The body has been cremated, and the ashes have been raised."
Well, Sean nodded, and he was relieved that there were no more flaws.
People who give themselves a headache must have no headache!
It's just like that, love is coming.
Back in Newark, Sean didn't rush to contact the Iraqi side in the first place.
Business doesn't do that way, and it's not a good thing to be too eager.
Sean held a meeting at Newark the next day, bringing in Advisor Layton Stevens (formerly Guantanamo Chief), Captain Robert A. Owens, and Army Colonel Dennis Abt, as well as Armstrong, who was in charge of intelligence.
Sean told the Iraqi side about the initiative to contact him, and after discussion, everyone agreed that it should be aimed at Iran, and he didn't run away.
"With Iran, there's nothing wrong with that." Leiden Steven thought for a moment and said: "Before 1979, we supported the Pahlavi dynasty in Iran in order to encircle the Soviets on the southern front and control the Persian Gulf, but in 1979, the Green Revolution broke out in Iran, and Khomeini returned to Iran to overthrow the Pahlavi dynasty, and he raised the banner of anti-Americanism and was supported by the Soviet Union. β
"Then, with our support, the Iran-Iraq war broke out, and in 1980, Iraq began to invade Iran."
"Well, it's good, I can sell a lot of squeezed weapons, and the military department will make a fortune." Sean said with a smile.
"It can't be said that the military department has money, and it also needs to replace it with new equipment." Layton Stevenin blinked, and everyone laughed.
"Of course, this is a joke, in fact, the situation of the Iran-Iraq war is very complicated, Iraq and Iran are the two major military powers in the Middle East, territorial disputes, Sunni and Shiite religious disputes and other factors, the situation is very complicated, of course, this is also a game between the United States and the Soviet Union."
"President Reagan has characterized Iran as a 'terrorist state' or 'evil state,' and we will not make any deals, negotiates, with these terrorist and evil countries."
"The law passed by the U.S. Congress banning arms shipments to Iran and the law of strict neutrality in the Iran-Iraq war."
"If we accede to Iraq's request, the only question is whether we have violated the law of strict neutrality in the Iran-Iraq war."
"The umbrella is an absolutely neutral business organization, we don't take sides, we just make money, and if U.S. law doesn't prohibit us from doing business with Iran, then I can also accept employment from Iran." Sean emphasized.
"It's not that serious." Layton Stevenin said with a smile: "All of the above are for the national level, as long as you don't sell weapons to Iran." β
"That is, in principle, we can accept Iraq's security and defense orders, and the remaining question is, if Iraq places an order, how many people, what kind of equipment, and what kind of combat effectiveness we have the ability to dispatch." Sean said as he looked at a few people.
"On the land side, without affecting the current work, a maximum of 300 people, 2 tanks, 4 infantry armored transport vehicles, and one helicopter gunship can be dispatched." Army Colonel Dennis Abt said.
"The Keeling-class missile destroyer is still being refitted, and it will take a month." Captain Robert A. Owens said with a frown.
"Can you urge it, this efficiency is too slow, more than 100 ships were produced that year, and if you want to have this efficiency, World War II will be over." Sean said dissatisfied.
"It's over." Leighton Stevenin said with a smile: "The construction of more than 100 ships has been cancelled. β
βshitοΌβ Sean rolled his eyes, which was far worse than rabbits, a bunch of slackers.
"It's okay, talk to the shipyard and urge it, but you have to add money."
Sean shook his head and didn't speak, whether he wanted to add money or not depends on what kind of task the Iraqi side is.
"However, Sean, our combat effectiveness is still a little poor, the Iran-Iraq war is not against gangsters or those garbage rebels in Colombia, and now the combat effectiveness is ......" Leiden Steven shook his head, "It is difficult to gain any advantage in the local battlefield." β
"What do you mean?"
"For specific needs, I have to ask Colonel Dennis." Layton Stevenin turned his head to look over.
Dennis thought for a while and said: "If it is a land battle, it depends on how far away it is from the coastline and whether it can be supported by the navy. β
"Portable radar, local battlefield jamming systems, firepower should also be improved, more advanced portable surface-to-air missiles, more advanced anti-tank weapons, night combat equipment, battlefield transportation capabilities, air support capabilities."
Dennis looked at Sean with burning eyes, "I recommend purchasing Apaches, in frontal battle, the Black Hawk is too far behind." β
"The survivability is not good, Iran is not comparable to those rebels, they have a lot of anti-aircraft weapons in their hands, Soviet, rabbit, Black Hawk is looking for death."
The corners of Sean's mouth twitched, Apache, should you be a cabbage, that thing is expensive!
The Apache is a gunship, and the Black Hawk is also a gunship, and the role is completely different.
The Black Hawk is a multi-functional model that can transport, support, and detect multiple uses.
But the Apache is a pure combat helicopter, and its firepower output and battlefield perspective ability are much better!
In terms of firepower, the Black Hawk and Apache don't look big, but the Apache can hang in the air and fight the projectile, and when encountering enemy air targets, they are very capable of counterattacking.
The Apache is smaller, with only two drivers, but has better ballistic performance, is faster when fully loaded, and is more than three times faster laterally and longitudinally than the Black Hawk.
That is, whether it is attacked from the ground or from the air, the probability of survival of the Apache is several times higher than that of the Black Hawk.
This is also the reason why Dennis said that Black Hawk went up to look for death, and if he went, he couldn't come back.
"Keeling is still small, there is only one helicopter position, and the Black Hawk also has the use of the Black Hawk, and the ability to maneuver quickly and transport and deliver is also necessary for the battlefield." Robert also added, "Moreover, if we want to transport tanks and armored vehicles into the Persian Gulf, then we also need transport ships." β
Sean's face darkened on the spot, okay, but it's not you who spent money, and as soon as the upper lip touched the lower lip, you dared to open your mouth, right?
How much money can afford you to build like this!
I took orders from Iraq to make money, okay?
"Hahahaha." Layton Stevenin laughed, "Guys, don't get so excited, we don't know what we need on the Iraqi side yet, maybe they just need us to help transport something, who knows." β
Sean and the others looked at each other and laughed, everyone had just received the news, and they were a little excited.
Participating in a war between major powers in a private capacity makes people feel like they are
The sea of money is boiling!
Of course, this big country has to put a quotation mark, at most it is a regional power.
In so many countries in the world, when it comes to war capability, only the United States, the Soviet Union, and China are now at the same level, and Britain and France are at the same level.
It's not much better than playing at home, which is why Sean dared to agree to participate without hesitation.
To put it bluntly, look down on them......
