America's Big Hero

Sean specially flew to Florida from New Jersey to meet Colonel Joel Ronald and deepen his relationship.

"Here is 100 million." Sean opened the box, turned his hand, and the mouth of the box was facing Joel.

In an instant, a pure smile bloomed on Joel Ronald's face.

Sean seemed to hear a series of words, 'favorability +1', 'favorability +1', 'favorability +1'

This favorability is so fucking fast!

After looking at it for a while, Joel Ronald closed the box and put it at his feet, and looked at Sean with a smile on his face, "What are you going to order this time?"

"It's easy to talk about, it's nothing more than some armored vehicles, mortars, radars, individual surface-to-air missiles, etc., all of which are normal," Sean said with a smile.

Joel Ronald didn't care when he heard it. These were really ordinary goods in the eyes of the two of them.

The U.S. military has no other confidence, and pays attention to the advanced nature of weapons, which is really the best in the world.

"The problem is that this time the delivery location is not in the country."

"Hey, where is that?"

"Colombia, Cartagena, the Latin American security base I opened."

"Oh." Joel Ronald frowned slightly, overseas, in that case the goods had better go directly from abroad.

My mind began to recall the military bases of the US military in the Caribbean Sea.

The first is the Guantanamo Naval Base and Naval Air Station in Cuba.

Then there's Puerto Rico with Fort Buchanan Army Base and Roosevelt Roads Naval Base.

On the Panama side are Rodman Naval Air Station, Albrook Air Force Base, north of the Canal, Fort Clayton Army Base, north of Panama City, and Quarry Heights.

Other smaller ones include Fort Sherman, Fort Randolph, Fort Gulick, Fort Davis Army Base, and Colon, just west of Panama City.

Well, Panama is the closest to Cartagena, so it's more convenient here, but land transportation is inconvenient, so it's best to ship goods from Rodman's good military base.

"It's not a big problem. We can transfer the supply from the Rodman Naval Base in Panama, but won't there be any problems in Colombia?" Joel Ronald looked at Sean, "This is not an ordinary firearm. .”

"It's okay." Sean waved his hand and said indifferently: "I have already opened up a relationship locally, at least Cartagena and Bolivar Province will not care about me, as for the Colombian Presidential Palace..."

Xiao En snorted, stared and said: "If they really insist on losing face and refuse to use it for me, then I will blow things up!"

"However, I have lost so much, so I have to talk about it. Damn, I want to see if they are made with iron, and they really can't be killed!"

Joel Ronald laughed out loud, very good, it has the taste of the world police!

peace brings money?

Not arrogant?

Are you still an American dad without being arrogant?

Sorry, I'm a mercenary!

"Okay, tell me what you want." Joel Ronald said with a big wave of his hand: "But let's say it first, if you want to take the goods from overseas bases, you have to ship them to you. The price..."

"I understand, the money I should give will not be less." Sean nodded understandingly.

After all, Colombia is a sovereign country. If it's just ordinary firearms, the other party can allow the security company to bring them there.

But things like armored vehicles, mortars, and missiles are absolutely not allowed.

Unless Sean can force Columbia to lease him a military base.

Of course, if Sean can buy an island in the Caribbean Sea, he can do whatever he wants.

It's not impossible, at this time, small islands in the Caribbean Sea are not as expensive as in later generations.

However, islands with natural water resources and natural harbors are not cheap, so don’t even think about them.

It is perpetual ownership after all.

Moreover, if you buy it well, the investment required for construction will be even greater. All raw materials must be transported by ship, and the cost is frighteningly high.

More importantly, this kind of island used for military purposes will have no income and only expenses in the future, and the annual maintenance expenses will not be small.

That's just a dream for now.

"It's good that you understand. That's not a big problem. You can tell me what you want."

“我需要2辆M113A3装甲运输车，1辆M113C&R指挥侦察车，一辆M125A2自行迫击炮车，弹药都要5个基数。”肖恩把心里早就计划好的东西说了下，“如果有M730A1小槲树防空导弹发射车就更好了。”

"This one won't work, this one won't work, this one can't be scrapped." Finally, Joel Ronald shook his head again and again.

(PS: M113C&R command and reconnaissance vehicle, developed by the Food Mechanics and Chemical Company in 1969, is made by shortening the M113 chassis, removing 1 road wheel on both sides, and strengthening each protection force. The vehicle has 3 crew members and a total weight of 8.5 tons, armed with 12.7mm machine guns and 7.62mm machine guns, and equipped with 6 smoke grenade launchers, which can be used amphibiously.)

(PS: The M125A2 81mm self-propelled mortar armored vehicle is equipped with the M113 29mm mortar on the M81 base vehicle. The mortar can rotate 360°, contains 11 shells, and is equipped with M2-HB12.7. [-]mm machine gun, phased out for National Guard and export.)

（M730A1：M113A2型车加装M48小槲树防空导弹发射系统，小槲树防空导弹是美军一级的主要防空武器，1969年开始装配部队。）

"Where's Hawk?" Sean asked unwillingly.

"No, Hawk can't be scrapped. Although it has been equipped with troops for more than 20 years, Hawk has been upgrading and transforming. Simple missiles are fine, but the launch system can't be sold to you, understand." Joel Rona De thought for a while and explained: "This is not just a launch vehicle. Anti-aircraft weapons require an overall system."

"Acquisition, fire control and shooting are composed of three major parts, including a pulse acquisition radar for target monitoring, a high-power illumination radar for target tracking, a command post with a built-in console, and a MKXII identification friend or foe question answering system."

"The entire system costs $1500 million, are you sure you want to buy it?"

"Well, if you want to buy it, I won't dare to sell it to you, unless you can get the approval for use."

"I'm talking, it's unnecessary, who are you guarding against?" Joel Ronald spread his hands and looked at Sean with a puzzled expression.

"Uh... guard against the Colombian Air Force?" In fact, Sean didn't know, he just had the sudden urge, and he was born in the military, so it's normal to have such thoughts.

He has not yet said that he wants to buy an aircraft carrier.

"My God, don't be kidding me." Joel Ronald sneered, "Against the Colombian Air Force? Ha, that's the funniest joke I've heard this year."

"What's wrong?" Sean asked inexplicably.

"Does Colombia have an air force?" Joel Ronald spread his hands and looked at Sean.

Sean blinked, "No?"

No way, Colombia can't have no air force, right?

"Ha, if a few A-37 and Tucano light attack aircraft are considered air force, then there really are." Joel Ronald laughed loudly.

Sean's expression looked a little weird, well, A-37, this thing is indeed an airplane.

(PS: A-37 Dragonfly attack aircraft, an attack aircraft developed based on the T-1957 Songbird trainer aircraft in 37, equipped with a 1mm GAC-7.62B/A six-barreled machine gun, with a rate of fire of 2-3000 rounds/ There are 6000 rounds of ammunition, and 1500 racks under the wings can hang various bombs and rocket pods to target the Viet Cong guerrillas. Its excellent low-altitude maneuverability and high attack rate played a great role in the Vietnam War.)

(PS2: The A-37 Dragonfly attack aircraft is a bit reluctant to be classified as the first generation fighter, so it can only be the first generation (pseudo), just like the planes of the little devils in the Anti-Japanese War movies, relying on machine guns to attack the ground Tutu and Lababa’s, well, worse than that of the little devil.)

But speaking of it, the Colombian military is also used to deal with guerrillas, but it's really a bitch with a dog... quite appropriate.

This shit, the M134 six-barreled Gatling can be shot down, and the M113A3 armored vehicle is no problem.

"Oh, I can't say that, they also have very advanced aircraft!" Joel Ronald smiled and looked at Sean, "They bought six Black Hawk gunships before, hahahaha."

Sean raised his hand and patted his forehead, well, it's really advanced.

Of course, the Colombian Air Force also has other things, such as various helicopters with little attack power, reconnaissance aircraft, transport aircraft, and business jets. The variety is quite rich.

Well, with that said, buying Hawk and Live Oak is a bit of an exaggeration.

However, shitty US military equipment is really expensive...

If this is old Maozi's, it can be done for one-third of the price.

In other words, it will be a long time before Lao Maozi disintegrates.

Sean was waiting impatiently.

"Then give me three Stinger FIM-3 individual shoulder-launched anti-aircraft missiles. There will always be no problem with this." Sean decided to settle for the next best thing.

In fact, it’s useless, the guerrillas in Colombia don’t have planes, and the Colombian military really wants to do something to Sean, and Sean won’t really do it with the other party...

Right?

Buying a stinger is purely a personal preference, a collection problem.

Well, really, it has nothing to do with defending against the Colombian military.

Joel Ronald settled accounts for Sean, including weapons, ammunition, and sending a landing ship to Colombia to send them there, and to share the profits with the other side.

Sean still needs to make up more than 60 yuan, which is much cheaper than buying a new one, and Sean is quite satisfied.

For the rest of the money, Sean suggested that the handover should be done abroad, not for cash on delivery. The U.S. military still pays attention to credibility when it sells weapons in private.

Mainly, in order to provide convenience for Joel and the others, they directly exchanged for overseas assets.

After finishing here, we will wait for delivery. Their efficiency is still very fast, and everything is ready-made.

Three days later, Sean arrived in Cartagena again, this time very low-key, and went straight to the newly built base.

The base's first phase of the project wall, accommodation area, underground arsenal, and simple defense measures have been completed. As for the second phase of the dock, training grounds, etc., we will talk about it later.

"Sol, how's it going, are you tired of staying here?"

"But, no." Sol was wearing big sunglasses, wearing a big t-shirt and shorts, lying on the beach chair with a look of enjoyment, "Being able to enjoy the sun, the beach, and beauties after work is nothing better than this It's gone."

Ha, Sean couldn't help laughing, Saul has always been treated as a VIP here, it's good to think about sparrow food.

"However, you may not be able to enjoy it like this all the time." Sean patted Sol on the shoulder.

"What?" Sol lowered his head, looking at Sean through the gap in his big sunglasses.

"You are going to India. My output of 'blend oil' is not small, and I need to develop customers." Sean looked at Saul with a sincere face, "You know, no one is more suitable than you, Bill and Joe Nas and the others are a bunch of brainless idiots."

"What's more, e-waste and other things have to be sold, and it doesn't matter where they are piled up."

"Oh, God, damn it, that damn place in India." Saul screamed, looking hopeless.

"Don't say that, when you go to India, you will enjoy super-national treatment. India has a caste system, and you are also an aristocrat over there." Sean comforted Saul.

"Heh, heh."

However, he didn't want to go back and didn't want to go, but Saul still took the information given by Sean and set foot on the plane to New Delhi the next day.

Although Sean didn't know anyone in India, OceanFirst Bank and the second and third generations he met recently helped introduce some relationships for Sean.

The United States is the largest country in the world, and convenience is everywhere.

On the second day after Sol left, there was news from Joel that the goods were already at sea, and it would take two days to arrive.

Sean was not in a hurry, so he called Armstrong who arrived earlier to ask about the situation here.

"That is to say, except for Butler Mitchell and his gang, basically no one in Cartagena knows our specific situation." Sean asked while rubbing his chin.

"Yes, Butler and the others have been trying their best to suppress the news. After all, let those poor people know that a big American company wants to buy that piece of land, and they will definitely not sell the house." Armstrong snorted and said: "Now The vast majority of people outside only know that the government wants to develop industrial development zones and attract investment.”

"All kinds of messages are flying all over the place, many of which we put out to confuse the public."

"Well, that's good, that's good." Sean said with a big smile.

"What do you want?" Armstrong didn't know why Sean gave such an order.

"I, I'm here to protect the environment!" Sean put on a meaningful smile, "Currently Cartagena is too dirty and messy, which is not conducive to development, so before the big development, we must Clean up the trash here."

Armstrong gasped, he understood what Sean meant.

"Send some people down, and say that some American companies will set up factories here this time. They are all super rich vampires, capitalists, and stir up the nerves of the local gangs for me, understand?"

"Understood." Armstrong nodded quickly.

The demolition speed promoted by Butler Mitchell and others was very fast, and it was also urged by Sean. A large area has already started three links and one leveling.

The dismantling of Greg Chemical has been completed a long time ago, and we are just waiting to build a factory here.

Therefore, Sean has already started to build the plant according to the construction plan given by Greg Chemical.

Industry is indeed the foundation. From the day the construction of an industrial zone begins, it can provide a large number of local employment opportunities.

And following the rumors released by Armstrong, many gangs also focused on the big fat piece of the industrial zone while demolishing.

Just like Sean did in New Jersey before, earthworks, transportation, sand, cement, labor, etc.

No, worse than Sean did.

At least the legal system in the United States is relatively complete. Compared with it, Colombia is much more chaotic.

Those who can be robbed, those who cannot be robbed, under Xiao En's order, this side backed down step by step, and the weakness of the capitalists was vividly displayed.

There has always been red soil in Colombia, and with Sean's promotion, the gang that has tasted the sweetness wants to intervene in everything.

Human greed is endless.
