"Now, except for the Pentagon, no one will think that this war can be fought!"

"Actually, the Pentagon understands, but they just don't want to leave!"

"Everyone knows this result!"

"So everybody's busy making money, right?"

As much as Smith would have liked to say a few good words for his old friends in the military, facts speak louder than words, and senior generals are now willing to save up for their pensions rather than claim victory.

Just like Colonel Dunn, he is just a colonel, there is naturally no problem with embezzling some canned rifles and military boots, and no one even cares, after all, when the fighting is fierce on the front line, the loss of rifle equipment is innumerable, but aircraft, artillery and tanks or something, without high-level participation, he will never dare.

In fact, the group in Vietnam included not only the U.S. military, but also the South Vietnamese government, local separatist guerrillas, gangsters, and American and European mafia groups.

Yes, the mafia also played a role in the war, and in some ways, their rise is inextricably linked to the CIA.

In the Cold War, ideology was above all else, even more than people's livelihood and human rights, and this was an era of taking sides, either friend or foe, so no matter who you are, even if you are the butcher executioner of the notorious drug lord warlord, as long as you are the opposite of the Soviet Union, then you are a friend of the United States.

As a friend, the CIA will definitely throw money wildly, and the money in Congress is naturally not blown by the wind, and the CIA's expenditure is so large, the congressional masters will certainly not agree.

So where does the money come from?

That's right, it's drugs, raw materials from Vietnam are continuously sent to the United States, made into finished products and sold, and the profits naturally go to the CIA, and then the CIA uses the money to support good friends.

And those finished products are not only sold to the United States, but will also come to Vietnam with the ship across the ocean again, don't get me wrong, these finished products are not used for the poor people, but for the American uncle.

In order to seek more profits, the mafia even packed drugs into soldiers' body bags and shipped them back to the United States for sale.

The corruption of the South Vietnamese government is even more serious, even to the point that the front-line troops are surrounded and urgently need helicopter airdrops to replenish supplies, and as a result, the helicopter units in the rear need to pay money from the front line before they are willing to set off.

The equipment that Shepard opened his mouth to ask for seemed like a lot, but it was actually a matter of marking the battle report.

And the two of them stayed in Saigon for less than two days, a team of jeeps full of American troops and Vietnamese special forces went downstairs, and Colonel Dunn, wearing sunglasses, who changed into a chic jacket, took the two of them into the car in high spirits and came to a naval port.

It is said to be a military port, but in fact, on the other side of the docked warships, there are dozens of rows of tall factories, and the words of military importance are written on the wall, and the soldiers of the Vietnamese Marine Corps are also standing guard here, compared to their army colleagues, these marines are fat and strong, and even military boots can be used as mirrors, and the two sides are like emperors and beggars, which can be called worlds apart.

The convoy stopped outside the warehouse, and the soldiers set up a guard on the perimeter, while Dunn strode through the heavily guarded sentry and into one of the warehouses with Shepard and the two of them.

"Check it out!"

Rows of dim lights hung high in the warehouse, and then, the goods quietly stacked in the warehouse also appeared in front of Shepard.

It was rows of brand-new jeeps and military trucks that hadn't even removed tarps and other vehicle equipment, which were parked quietly in the warehouse.

"This is the Jeep, there are six-wheeled trucks over there, and if you want a bulldozer, there are six of them here!"

After visiting the first warehouse, the group went to the second room, which also had a large number of trucks and tankers, as well as field equipment such as tents, some of which had the time written on them, which were produced in 1967.

"How's it going, aren't you shocked?"

"Almost, this should be considered a material reserve!"

"Yes, the material reserve, but it has been handed over to the Vietnamese, and we can't use it anyway!"

Dunn took a small flask from his pocket, poured a few sips of it into his mouth, and with a wave of his hand, he continued the tour with Shepard.

Shepard then saw ammunition of all calibers, from naval artillery shells for warships to howitzer shells for the army, grenades for infantry, explosive explosives for sappers, guns, radios, raincoats, everything the army needs can be seen here.

"What an arsenal of democracy!"

After visiting all the way, Shepard finally stopped in a warehouse near the outside, where the American M48 Patton tank he had been thinking about was parked, but it was mothballed, and he was very itchy to see these metal big guys, but unfortunately, he couldn't afford to raise it.

As for the helicopters and armored vehicles that Shepard needs, they are also in stock here, but most of these equipment are mothballed, and the helicopters are even more bulk, but they are all very new, much better than the two currently used by the Shadow Company.

"How?"

"Nice, but no birds?"

"That thing is a rarity, not here, why don't you replace it with Huey, and I can give you some more rockets?"

"And what about the price?"

"Because the materials here are semi-scrapped, of course, you can purchase them without the market price, 200,000 Huey helicopters, 150,000 commandos you want, rest assured, if you buy enough, rockets and machine guns are considered freebies!"

"That's pretty ........."

Shepard didn't know what to say for a while, the military purchase price of Huey helicopters had to be millions, and as a result, they could buy it for 200,000, and I don't know what the congressional lords would think when they saw it.

"Can't it be cheaper? What if something goes wrong? ”

"No, the numbers of these things have been erased, and they are on the battle damage list, as long as there is no problem on your side, then I will naturally have no problem! As for the price! I don't think you can afford to assemble these things and send them to a ship in port, can you? ”

"Okay then, but I'm going to get some more giveaways!"

Shepard stretched, then said helplessly.
