Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 2044: Beginning to receive equipment for retreat

"Are you saying that these kidnappings are all related to KeyB?"

At this time, several people from the Great Wall were interrogating an old accountant of KeyB. The man had been staying overseas well, but he was infected and could not be treated locally, so he had to return to his country for treatment.

The other party had a green card, but he was arrested directly. Faced with all kinds of evidence, he collapsed in the face of crime.

"This is the KeyB big fat sheep plan. All the investments made by those super-rich people in KeyB are profitable. Even if they are not profitable, we will subsidize them with the money of our subordinates, just for emergency purposes."

"One day in the future, when KeyB's leader is short of money, these people will be KeyB's ATM. Kidnapping is the lowest level of means, because when acting as an agent for assets, President Kan will have people conduct a detailed investigation into the other party's source of funds."

"Almost none of this money is clean. Mr. Kan took the money overseas and can withdraw it at any time, as long as these people want to stay in the local area."

"The funds you can find are all small amounts. In Mr. Kan's plan, these are the big amounts. As long as we have the account book in our hands, the wallets of these people are Mr. Kan's wallet. Mr. Kan should be short of money now..."

In response to various inquiries from the Great Wall, the other party answered all the questions he knew.

As the old accountant spoke, people began to reveal various secrets. Some of the things shocked Changcheng so much that he couldn't sleep for several days and nights, because this was not an isolated case, but the same thing happened to several of the top financial institutions in the country.

This meant that a large number of people were in danger at the moment. After obtaining his father's consent, Ail Changcheng immediately reported the matter, and then various reports and reviews began.

Ji Donglai, who was in Central Asia, didn't know about these things at the time. Instead, he drove all the way south. At the border between Uzbekistan and Afghanistan, Ji Donglai and Claire hugged each other tightly.

“My friend, taste a genuine cigar from Cuba and make our world a little easier!”

Handing Ji Donglai a cigar, Claire pulled Ji Donglai towards the tent in the distance. The sky and the earth had begun to get colder at this time. Ji Donglai, wearing a coat, roasted the cigar in his hand for a while and then lit it directly.

"You will still enjoy my friend. How big a business is this time? Come to me. I don't have much funds this time, but it should be no problem to fill your account!"

According to Ji Donglai's memory, the withdrawal plan has been formulated. Now people of Claire's status rarely get the news, but Claire's level is different, and she has close ties with the top leaders.

Especially with Ji Donglai's help over the years, the other party has always had sufficient funds. Now he has become a colonel. He was transferred from here to East Asia, and then transferred back through connections.

"I have a batch of military equipment that needs repair. Give me a deadline and a price!"

Both of them were knowledgeable people, and Claire gave a list to Ji Donglai.

As a soldier, he is actually a businessman. Claire never liked this land, but came here for a living, and chance and coincidence now have room.

The traces of their group will soon be wiped off this land, and the officers are starting to go crazy.

Ji Donglai looked at the long list of names and was really shocked. According to the list, there were five Mi-19 helicopters and some Chinooks in the first few items alone.

To get all these things means Ji Donglai will have to spend at least 500 million US dollars. Of course, that is the price of a brand new item. Repaired items mean that the other party has already used them, so in that case, the price will be cut in half.

"The repair costs will be 300 million US dollars..."

Ji Donglai wrote down his price quote for the equipment on the back of the paper, saying it was for repairs, but in fact, once the equipment was shipped out, it would disappear from the base forever. This was the consensus of the US troops stationed around the world. Three hundred million US dollars was enough for Claire and her gang to share the spoils. It was definitely not just Claire, but a lot of people.

“Less!”

Looking at Ji Donglai's offer, Claire shook her head and directly changed it to 800 million US dollars.

In the past, this price was not high, and Claire had a lot of places to move around.

"That's all. I have a gold reserve worth 100 million in Angola, no more, no less. I will clear out the warehouse. If you can get there within two days, you will get them. I will report the theft to the outside world. These funds are enough to make your superiors happy!"

The price was changed back to 117 million US dollars. The brand new F was more expensive than this, but Ji Donglai did not give in. When Claire heard about gold, her frown relaxed. She looked at Ji Donglai for a while with a cigar in her mouth, then reached out and shook hands with Ji Donglai.

"We are friends forever. You need to maintain good relations with the Uzbek side. We will complete the handover quickly!"

One hundred million in gold is more useful than anything else. With this, Carlisle will retire directly. As for the formalities of these equipment? The superiors will handle it!
Again, if it’s not for business, no one would come to such a shitty place.

Many of the soldiers who came here suffered from severe war depression and were diluting opium. After returning home, they became complete addicts. The superiors were simply unable to control them and could only give them some funds to make their lives a little better.

If you go to a place that has nothing to do with your homeland and don't give the soldiers enough benefits, who will fight for you?

Next, Claire took Ji Donglai to visit the local military base. All kinds of scrapped equipment were scattered all over the ground, and no one was repairing them. After Ji Donglai took away the equipment, these pieces of junk replaced them.

"Boss Ji, try our food!"

At noon, Ji Donglai and Claire were eating in the army cafeteria, and Ji Donglai was frowning.

“Is this what you guys eat?”

Looking at the weird thing in front of him that even Uzbeks might not eat, Ji Donglai had no idea where to start.

"The Pentagon isn't paying the service company enough. They're fighting a lawsuit, and we're hiring people to supply our supplies. The vampires at the supply and demand company are just as good as the bastards at the Pentagon. They know when to withdraw."

"No one is willing to continue supplying in such a short time. Now they have withdrawn the goods. We are very annoyed. Do you know anyone who can do the supply and demand? We need supplies for nearly the next year."

"You know our relationship with the locals is very tense, but we are here to contribute to the country, not to suffer!"

The cooperative relationship between supply and demand companies and the military-industrial complex is complicated, and Claire can't explain it clearly. She can simply summarize it in one sentence: when there is money, that is, when there is a lot of money, supply and demand companies will spare no effort to supply goods.

With less money, supply and demand companies can withdraw freely and no one can restrain them.

Some people say that Supply and Demand Company can even influence the presidential election and even the birth of their children. In fact, these people still underestimate the power of Supply and Demand Company. If necessary, they can even cause small-scale conflicts or even wars around the world. This is not an exaggeration.
