Celia Miller's proposal, after careful consideration, is entirely out of the position of the westero system. Simon's positive response is very gratifying for her, which shows that although she is a strong young boss, she is not arbitrary, so her future work will be much easier.
And it also means that she can get more power.
With this in mind, Celia Miller soon began the next topic: "in addition, representatives of the new government of Rwanda contacted me yesterday, hoping to obtain military assistance from the westero system. Their fundamental goal is our helicopter formation in Rwanda, the entire military operation in Rwanda, and our 12 Mi-24 armed helicopters have played a vital role."
Celia looked up at Simon, got a sign from the man and said her opinion directly: "it's certainly impossible to give them helicopters. However, the weapons and equipment of the former government army captured in the two wars in Rwanda can be given to the new government, but they can't be given unconditionally. Simon, our troops in Rwanda can not last long, but we can rely on the advantages and chips we have now to cultivate our own power within the government of Rwanda. "
During the two major military operations of the vistro mercenaries in Rwanda, all the weapons and equipment of 18000 former government troops, including a large number of rifles, ammunition, rocket launchers, mortars, troop carrying trucks, tanks and so on, were finally seized by the vistro mercenaries, including the second battle jointly carried out with the Tutsi opposition. At that time, Tutsi was also beaten up The armed forces of the ethnic minorities and the Ugandan government army did not dare to compete with the westero mercenaries for the right to seize the battlefield.
For Simon, the Hutu regime's family wealth accumulated for 20 years is just a pile of worthless rags, but in the eyes of African governments, it is a great military wealth.
The new Tutsi regime may be greedy for the latest Soviet made equipment of the westero mercenaries, especially the Mi-24 armed helicopters, but Simon has no intention of becoming a man of beauty. The previous military action of the mercenaries in Westeros was only to stop a racist massacre involving millions of people, but it did not mean that Simon had any good feelings for the new Tutsi regime.
In my memory, in 1996, the "African World War" began to involve a large number of African countries, such as Uganda, Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Africa, Angola, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Sudan and so on. It started with the attack of the rebel forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo supported by Rwanda on the then government of Mobutu, and finally evolved into a big scuffle that lasted for eight years and spread to most of Africa.
It can be said that the region of Africa is the most brutal way of modern war, which makes the most primitive and bloody human society compete for power and profit incisively and vividly. And behind the barbarism, there are many self styled civilized social forces, which are constantly contributing to the fight for Africa's rich natural resources.
The more we see through these, the more Simon believes that human beings are doomed to the pessimistic prospect of self destruction because of selfishness and greed in nature.
Simon doesn't intend to change anything, and he doesn't feel he can.
There are many great people who have made similar efforts in human history. Their best results are just the starting point of another reincarnation.
Therefore, what Simon can do is to bring his family and a group of people close to the Westeros family to the top of the pyramid of the world. It is undeniable that when something happens, the people at the top of the pyramid always have the greatest chance of survival.
Feeling that Celia was still waiting for her reply, Simon regained his mind and shook his head. "Celia, if I want to domesticate a dog, I will never let it develop the bad habit of obeying the instructions only after its owner has given food. I prefer the kind of pet that obediently obeys the owner's voice."
For African countries, Simon thinks it is most appropriate to describe them with a passage from his memory, but he is afraid of prestige rather than Huaide.
For some special purposes, the westero system will expand in Africa.
This military operation in Rwanda is an early deterrent, warning those African warlords and oligarchs to consider the consequences on their own. All in all, the westero system will enter Africa as a conqueror, not as a friendly donor.
Simon's fundamental attitude is similar to the global expansion strategy of the United States. If you don't listen, you will not get a large amount of aid, but a fully armed aircraft carrier battle group.
Facts have also proved that US aircraft carrier battle groups are usually more effective than money aid.
Celia Miller felt the undisguised contempt and indifference in Simon's tone, subconsciously avoided the burning eyes of men, flipped the papers on her knees for a little buffer, and then looked up again: "well, boss, we still have to put forward our own requirements if we don't give anything?"
Before she knew it, Celia changed the name "Simon" she had just used quietly to "boss".
Simon, unaware of the details, nodded: "it took the Tutsi opposition only a week to gain control of Rwanda, which is their biggest gain. They can't get any more. You can find time to discuss with William McRaney about that batch of equipment and sell it to neighboring countries at a high price. We don't need money. We just need to exchange some mines and the like. Australia's BHP will also cooperate with you. For other African countries, it's also an opportunity to make friends with the westero system. I don't think those oligarchs in Africa who only have a little brain will refuse it. "William McRaney is the commander-in-chief of westero mercenaries in Africa. He was a former Australian Navy Lieutenant Colonel. He is 43 years old and has been the head of the private mercenary team of the Johnston family for 10 years. He has been carrying out the security escort task of the shipping business of the Johnston holding group in the past. He belongs to the most reliable lineage of the Johnston family.
The use of weapons from former government forces in exchange for mines in some African countries is fully in line with Simon's initial African expansion strategy with the old man.
When they got to the mines, they first established contact with African warlords or oligarchs.
Secondly, it has the name of "legitimate business". Furthermore, in order to maintain the security of these businesses in the war-torn areas, the westero system needs to build a strong security team, and ultimately achieve the goal of breaking the whole into parts to cultivate the direct violence machine of westero system.
The vistro mercenaries stationed in Rwanda are too conspicuous in the eyes of many people, and they must withdraw within a certain period of time.
Simon does not intend to dig the corner of EO company in South Africa. However, he does not intend to give up those Ukrainian mercenaries who have experienced the baptism of blood and fire. After the subsequent re strict selection, these people will break up into parts and re enter Africa as the enterprise security team of westero system.
Celia Miller felt something from Simon's arrangement, thought about it, and said: "although she controls the overall situation, there are still some Hutu opposition groups who continue to operate in Rwanda or flee to countries such as the DRC. We can use the reason of stabilizing the hearts of Hutu people in Rwanda to support these people to make peace with the government, and then select some of our spokesmen as our spokesmen The pieces are placed in the government of Rwanda. "
Simon agreed without much hesitation this time.
At this stage, when the vistro mercenaries are at their peak in Africa, the political situation in Rwanda is not completely stable. Even though the Tutsi opposition, which has just gained state control, is dissatisfied, it can only hold its nose and promise.
As for the Hutu forces who have just been beaten down by the westero mercenaries, they may be equally dissatisfied, but in the choice between survival and death, they are unlikely to refuse the active "help" of the westero system. Otherwise, they will be completely destroyed.
Celia Miller's strategy has been common in Africa.
Although many African countries have been completely independent in name, they are still puppets of Western forces. For example, the Tutsi opposition in Rwanda this time is directly supported by the Ugandan government. Behind the Ugandan government, there are two giants: Britain and the United States.
With the end of the cold war, the East and the west, which had been fighting with each other to support each other in Africa, no longer continued to make unnecessary money investment for the sake of pure political layout, but turned to pursue more practical economic interests one after another. The supporters behind the scenes of African countries gradually turned from direct big country governments to world-class enterprises coveting Africa's rich natural resources Head.
In this case, what we are competing for is actually economic strength.
If we talk about economic strength, the rapid rise of the westero system is not afraid to compete with any old giants.
Celia Miller continued to discuss with Simon some issues that need to be decided today, and half an hour passed unconsciously.
Look at the time. It's 8:50, and the UN conference starts at 10 o'clock. Greenwich is more than 40 kilometers away from Manhattan. In theory, one hour and 10 minutes is more than enough. However, considering the possible traffic congestion in the morning, we must start immediately to avoid being late.
After reviewing her memo to make sure there were no missing items, Celia said, "boss, that's about it. The UN meeting starts at 10 o'clock. I think I have to start as soon as possible."
Simon nodded, then shook his head and said, "don't worry. I'll go to Manhattan, too, when you're all together."
Now that the man was in no hurry, Celia didn't raise any objection.
Anyway, if you're really late, it's your boss's fault. Celia even wondered if the man was deliberately trying to make her late.
Simon didn't have such a mind. He just said, "one more thing, the death and disability benefits of Ukrainian mercenaries, as well as some subsequent arrangements, are you also responsible for these matters. In addition, westero will set up special private military companies in the United States, Australia and Ukraine respectively, and Dan rubir and Martin Stillman will be in charge in the United States. This was originally a man's business. However, as you know, I'm not used to using men as assistants, and I'll give you some contact matters in the future. "
Celia Miller, hiding her excitement, nodded quickly.
She knows about private military companies.
Dan rubir and Martin Stillman are still attached to Simon's military affairs assistant office at this time. They talked about it with her. Celia thought it had nothing to do with her. Unexpectedly, there were three families at one time, and she could play a very important role in it.
With this in mind, Celia recalled her previous thought and said, "in this case, Simon, there may not be enough staff in the assistant office. We need to recruit extra staff. Moreover, if someone is not suitable for the job, they need to be eliminated immediately. "Simon laughed, nodded and said, "it's all up to you, but if something goes wrong, I'll only look for you."
Celia wanted to make a promise, but she gave up after a pause. Obviously, the man in front of her is not a guy who likes others to swear in front of him, so she took the initiative to find a topic and asked, "boss, set up three private military companies at one time. Do you plan to accept the military outsourcing orders from the government in the future?"
Simon asked, "what do you think?"
Celia said: "I don't think the boss wants to. However, fighting for military outsourcing orders at the government level can provide us with reasonable and legal opportunities for actual combat training. Even if the most elite soldiers don't often carry out actual combat training, their combat power will slowly fade."
Simon didn't really want to participate in the official military outsourcing business, but only intended to cultivate a military force completely owned by the westero system. Hearing Celia say so, he responded and nodded: "good suggestion, I will seriously consider it."
Knowing that Simon had actually made a decision, Celia hesitated and said, "boss, I My husband has tested me in recent days. Although his father has just retired, he still has some contacts in his hands. If both sides can cooperate, we can establish contact with the federal military system as soon as possible, and the Miller family can continue their influence. This is a win-win opportunity. "
Since we have decided to win the government's military outsourcing orders, we must deal with the military.
Simon probably knows the situation of the Miller family, which has lasted from the first World War to the present military family. It's a pity that Philip Miller, the successor of the latest generation, is too disheartened. Otherwise, the Miller family will be a mountain that can't be underestimated by the Federal Military.
Private military companies in the United States are either directly supported by the military, or they invite a large number of retired senior military officers to serve as consultants.
The Miller family, for Simon, is indeed a breakthrough into the federal military system.
The family's connections are still there, which can provide enough help for the westero system. On the other hand, the lack of successors can also prevent the Miller family from turning back on the host to the greatest extent. With Philip Miller's ability, once Michael Miller, who was once a Navy Lieutenant General, dies, the Miller family is doomed to become a vassal of the westero system.
Consider a moment, in Celia slightly uneasy eyes, Simon nodded again: "yes."
Celia Miller breathed a quiet sigh of relief.
If she could, she would never be willing to make this introduction.
Since last year, the Miller family forced her to give up her official career in order to keep Philip Miller's position in the Ministry of defense, she and her husband's family almost did not open their faces. However, as a mother, she can't ignore her 9-year-old son after all. The little boy is now carried by his grandfather and mother. Michael Miller has high hopes for the only grandson of the family, because he is worried that the child will be taken away, and even keeps watch on her mother.
However, how can mothers not expect their children to have a better future.
Celia Miller knows that even if she is in decline, the Miller family's resources and contacts are not comparable to those of an ordinary woman who came from a Washington grassroots official family. Therefore, even though she has already had the idea of divorce from Philip Miller, she has never thought of fighting for the custody of her children.
After the negotiation, they continued to talk about some topics. At about 9:10, there was a roar outside the villa.
Simon heard the sound, got up and said, "come on, the helicopter is here."
Celia Miller understood why Simon was not in a hurry.
Following the man to the outdoors, two large bright black helicopters have been parked on the lawn of the manor. Celia recognizes that this is the civilian version of Sikorsky Black Hawk series.
During this period, Simon had ordered four helicopter cars with reference to the specifications of Navy one from Sikorsky company. However, before that, as a temporary means of transportation, the Westeros family rented four ordinary black hawk civilian models.
Although it is a civilian version, the safety of Black Hawk is far better than that of other brands of helicopters, which is also one of Simon's most important points.
Simon took a girl, Sophia, Celia and Emily Joplin in one of the two Black Hawk helicopters, and Simon's bodyguard team took the other. The helicopter took off from the manor in Greenwich, Connecticut, and landed on the East River apron in Manhattan, which is only a few hundred meters away from the United Nations headquarters, in more than ten minutes.
