Chapter 856: Public opinion guide
Mister handed the mobile phone to the bodyguard, crossed his legs, sat on the chair, and said with a smile, "Mr. Virginia Yvesley is very nervous now."
This is in the office, and sitting on the sofa is his confidant.
It is not until 12 o'clock, young people cannot stay up late, they have to stay up all night.
Especially when Mister knew that the Philadelphia Manufacturing Association was the backbone of this protest march, he became even more interesting. Of course, the kidnapping was outsourced, so how could he get the handle? The other party may not know who hired them, but it would be enough to give them money anyway.
Mister's words caused laughter from his confidants and felt much more happy.
Yingshang is a country with free speech, but it does not mean that Mister and others are willing to listen to these nonsense. They come to the door to demonstrate every day. This perseverance is really a pity... It would be a pity not to find a factory to work.
"Let him go first, now we are not in a hurry. Let them be gentle to Mr. Yvesley and never hurt him." Mister said with a smile.
Philadelphia is one of the top gay cities. Who knows if those kidnappers have other hobbies?
"What's the other thing?" He turned his swivel chair and looked at everyone and asked.
The deputy sitting on the sofa straightened his body and reported, "The Pentagon rejected our inquiry on the Wisconsin and said that the Iahua-class battleship is a witness to history and will not betray it, but will be made into a floating museum."
Purchasing weapons for retired powers is a type of "Return" program within the Savior Company, similar to the B-52 bomber, F-15, and the already purchased "Gorshkov", which are all important roles in the program.
Tang Dao even wanted to contract the Arizona airplane cemetery where there were about 4,200 aircraft, and the 309th Air Maintenance and Renovation Brigade of the Eagle Sauce, they were responsible for maintaining these aircraft and were ready to return some of them to the blue sky.
If this is contracted, the company will not be short of parts for at least ten years, but it has been rejected by the Pentagon, so the plan will be stranded.
The Iahua-class battleship also performed very well in the Gulf War, but the weapon elimination speed of Eagle Sauce was too fast. It was just as modernized in the 1980s and was eliminated in 1990, which is too wasteful.
So the company inquired, and the reason for refusing was quite ridiculous.
"I'm planning to open my mouth." Mister said with his fingers on the table and frowned.
The Eagle Sauce has only a history of more than 200 years. Indeed, the Missouri witnessed the surrender of the foot-basin chickens, but the other three ships have no sense of historical weight. You are almost as poor as you borrow money all over the world, and are you still pretending to be rich here?
Of course, the Pentagon is not poor, but who thinks it’s more money after using it? People are happy to spend more than 10 million US dollars.
The retired old man is still planning to send him to his retirement? Is this maintenance? All these are money, and when can't bear it? It's nonsense. You have to give it a burial fee, so it's better to transfer it to other "filial sons and virtuous grandchildren".
To be honest, battleships are going to be eliminated. It can be said that Iahua is the last elegy in the era of giant ships and cannons. However, with the development of history, the advantages of battleships are getting smaller and smaller, and the high military expenditure is even more difficult to maintain. The upgrade cost in the 1980s was almost enough to build a brand new destroyer.
So, retirement is really unaffordable.
How much was Iahua’s cost?
110 million US dollars!
It was World War II at that time, equivalent to more than one billion US dollars around the Millennium.
If you buy it at the same price, Tang Dao will definitely not be stupid, and Mister is not an idiot. The most important part of their "return" plan is to buy it with the least amount of money, which is useless for big countries. However, in Africa, such battleships used for landing operations are still very deterrent.
To be honest, since Eagle Sauce started not playing Battleships, no one in other countries has played anymore. Some can't afford it, and some think it's not worth it.
After all, the times have passed.
But for countries like Somalia, it is still enough to use warships to bully countries and regions such as Mozambique, Kenya, Somalialand, etc.
Maybe it can be used when unifying Somalia?
"20 million US dollars! We are willing to acquire the Pentagon," Mister said.
If you lose money, Eagle Sauce will definitely lose money, but what income will you get when you make a floating museum? It’s better to just exchange it for US dollars.
The reason why I went to Yi'ahua to buy it has another potential meaning. Tell the Pentagon that the Savior Company is not short of money. Look, we all want these old things from World War II. When do other "wastes" want to abandon them, you can call our hotline.
Although Ying Jiang may not agree, since the president has spoken, the employees below can only try it.
Mister looked at the time and it was almost 1 o'clock. He yawned and stood up, "Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow, let's go back and rest."
After everyone was finished, he slightly tidied up the table, turned off the light, left the office.
...
Mswati III stayed in Somalia for three days, but finally left reluctantly.
Before he left, he called out a name to ask Tang Dao to say goodbye, and the king held his hand and kept thanking him.
It's nothing more than thanking the company for selling him a batch of "cheap" weapons.
2,000 ak47,400,000 US dollars!
There are also 10 M-30 122mm howitzers, 800,000 US dollars!
These are all stockpiling items for clearing warehouses. What kind of World War II artillery can be sold for 80,000 US dollars each? They are all old styles that are nearly 60 years old.
Usually these are around 60,000 yuan, and then someone Tang said that the price would be raised. Mswati III would have to thank him, hug Tang Dao, and invite him to visit Swaziland next time. At that time, the best girl will be arranged to share with him.
Seeing the plane rushing into the sky, even a person as cold as Tang Dao couldn't help but sigh, "Mswati III is such a good person."
Okashi's expression on the edge was almost twitching. He finally managed to hold it back and said calmly, "Let's go back too."
The two got into the car, and after they lost their outsiders, they spoke more easily. As they chatted, Tang Dao said that the company wanted to contract Somalia's National Television.
When Ocassi heard the news, he couldn't help but feel happy. He had this idea for a long time, but he had no money, no one, and no time to make trouble. The biggest problem in China was warlord separatism. In this case, it would be the best for the Savior Company to take over.
So, he didn't refuse at all, "I agree, but I have to go back."
In 1979, the People's Congress was stipulated as the highest legislative body, but this thing has long been in name only in the constant wars. With the support of the Savior Company, the Okashi government maintained strong control over the Mogadishu area. Any senior executive who dared to have other ideas would either die or run away.
Therefore, the senior management team belongs to the Savior Company.
This is really a process.
"I think the Somalian government and companies jointly establish a department to manage the country's future information dissemination, news media and policy publicity. Any publicity agency that has not been reviewed by the department is illegal. Moreover, private contracting such as newspapers and magazines is not allowed at present."
This is a proposal given by the think tank. If the Somali government propaganda agency wants to have its own prestige, it must provide support at the national level. Other local newspapers are not allowed to be sold, but you cannot control it for a short time. You can only start from Mogadishu, not allow local newspapers to come in, not allow them to be sold, and control public opinion means to the hands of the government and companies.
Hold on to this!
"The company will allocate US$2 million to renovate the TV building, and the employees' salaries will be at the top of the country. As for the remaining costs, they will purchase equipment and lay the power grid. In addition, I will purchase 1,000 TVs and place them in various districts of Mogadishu to play movies to local people and bring them entertainment activities."
He told Okashi about his plan, who kept praising him and said that he would communicate with others when he went back and would be able to reply tomorrow.
"This is the best. The faster we are, the sooner the people will benefit." Tang Dao said with a smile.
It was only half an hour from the airport to the "Presidential Palace". They got out of the car. Tang Dao looked at the clean intersection and shook hands with Okashi, "I won't go in. I plan to go to the Mogadishu port and see where the company plans to build a large shipyard."
"Okay, see you next time."
"goodbye."
Okashi looked at Tang Dao who was surrounded by bodyguards and waved his hand. After watching the convoy leave, his smile calmed down. After looking at the time, he said to the secretary beside him, "Notify the Vice President, the Speaker and others to hold a meeting in twenty minutes."
The secretary quickly agreed and followed the President into the mansion.
Tang Dao was sitting in the car, and Hurst Theodore was reporting to him, "The shipyard is next to the port of Mogadishu. It plans to build an area of 5.17 million square meters. It can have a 30,000-ton ship platform, two 15,000-ton floating docks, and a 3,000-ton floating dock. It is expected to take three years to build it. It is currently under construction by China Construction Group."
The bidding was completed very early, and the construction has been started for almost four or five months. I even had this idea when I contracted the port of Mogadishu. Sometimes it was too slow to transport ships from Ukraine. Somalia needs its own shipyard to help ocean freighters docking at the port.
In the future, warships have to be built by themselves. It is not safe to come from Ukraine. When will the world be abrupt and can cross the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans?
In the future, artillery factories, firearm factories, and laboratories will gradually move to Somalia, and at least branches will be opened. The land of military-industrial enterprises will be prepared. Just draw an industrial area in the east and west corners of Agua, which can also promote local employment. However, it is still early, and local workers cannot read. If you build it well, you will only bother Ukrainian employees.
Seeing that it was about to arrive at Mogadishu Port and could see a tower crane, I saw Hurst Theodore answering a call and then his face was very heavy.
"Boss, our agent in Libya was shot dead!"
