"I have a map here." Huang Xu ran to the office to get a military map and pointed out the location of Djibouti. When Jones saw it, he immediately exclaimed, "It's right here. The geographical location is so important."
p>Li Anran winked at Khalid with some pride, making His Royal Highness roll his eyes in anger.
He was doing it for Li Anran's good. Michiva also guarded the main traffic routes, and his geographical location was not much worse than that of Djibouti. The key is that the construction cost here is low. There is a huge difference in cost between building a pier and expanding a pier.
"There are very few water resources here, and the weather is extremely hot. Electricity and domestic water are all very troublesome." Khalid reminded.
Li Anran ignored him. Later, so many countries stationed troops here, there was no reason to hold them back. If there is no electricity, we use diesel generators. Oil is as cheap as water here anyway. If there is no water, we use ocean ships. Anyway, the transportation capacity is large and it doesn’t cost a lot of money.
The key is to occupy the pit first. In the future, when Dragon Kingdom comes to build a base, it will not be forced to choose a place with a poor location.
"Contact me and I will take a look and rent it if it suits you." Li Anran finally made the decision.
After the meeting, Khalid pulled Li Anran to the corner and asked everyone to leave. He wanted to have a private conversation with Li Anran alone.
After the others went out, Khalid whispered: "To tell you frankly, not only was Abdullah assassinated this time, but one of our princes was also murdered. It's just that the matter is serious and we have to publicize it to the outside world. It was a natural death."
Li Anran was shocked. An intelligence chief and a prince, Xiao Yizi is quite ruthless. < /p>
Li Anran was very surprised, "Army? Don't you have a Pakistani brigade responsible for the security of the royal family?"
Not many people in the world know about this. The Shah's royal family hired A force formed by Pakistanis was directly commanded by the king and was responsible for protecting the security of the royal family.
"My father and I believe more in the combat effectiveness of your Dragon Kingdom army. In terms of army, the US military is scum compared to the Dragon Kingdom."
Li Anran nodded immediately, "That's right. "The Army of the Dragon Kingdom is the best in the world."
"I heard that the Army of the Dragon Kingdom will reduce its troops by 1.5 million. There must be a lot of elites among them. You can train me a brigade of troops with equipment according to the U.S. Army. "How about the level?"
Li Anran finally understood that these were all excuses. Co-author Khalid wants a garrison like the Pakistan Brigade.
"As long as you have enough money, I will help you train one of the world's top troops." Li Anran immediately took over everything.
"Up to five thousandExcept for the top commander assigned by us, all the others are from the Dragon Kingdom, and they are declared to the outside world to be the security forces provided by your security company. "
"What about the sixteen companies and more than twenty bodyguards of princes and princes you mentioned earlier? "Li Anran asked.
"Both. "
Well, a nouveau riche is a nouveau riche, and he is so heroic. I like it.
"If you follow the configuration of the US military, the equipment, training, consumption, and salary of a brigade are not small. Numbers. "
"The king has spent 15 billion US dollars to build what you call the world's top army brigade, and will also allocate 2 billion US dollars in military expenditures every year. "
Damn it, this is big business! Li Anran's heart suddenly pounded.
"I'll go back to discuss it and give you an answer as soon as possible. "Li Anran didn't dare to agree rashly. After all, it involves domestic matters, so we still need to discuss it beforehand.
"You should hurry up as much as possible. There is news that Saddam is currently short of funds and the domestic economy is in dire straits. There's a chance they'll attack us. "
Don't tell me, the Shah people are actually very smart, and they can see that something is wrong now. In the previous life, Saddam did invade Kuwait because of the economic inability to recover, and then when he was preparing to go south to the Shah , an armored battalion was destroyed by a missile, and then he hesitated to retreat.
But this story is just a bragging on the Internet, and it is difficult to say whether it is true, but I am sure that the big man in the missile battalion. The killing weapon played a decisive role, and Saddam was eventually scared off. This is a fact.
"Understood, give me one year, and I promise to give you a strong army. "Li Anran no longer hesitated. He wanted to win this business because of his emotions and reasons. As for the country, the possibility of agreeing is very high. It was amazing to throw money at it. If it couldn't be smashed, he stopped General Zhang's donation of 100 million US dollars. < /p>
In the previous life, the cost of a heavy armored brigade in the Dragon Kingdom was about 4 billion U.S. dollars. If you add an air force, it would not exceed 10 billion U.S. dollars. So if you build this force with 15 billion U.S. dollars, how can you That's enough.

When Prince Khalid went to rest, Li Anran immediately found Huang Xu and Jones. Khalid said what he just said.
Huang Xu jumped up immediately, "Promise him, even if a brigade requires 15 billion, it won't cost 500 million. "
"Nonsense, do you think it is an ordinary domestic army regiment? This includes heavy tank battalions, air defense battalions, artillery battalions, anti-tank battalions, logistics support battalions, aviation groups, plus infantry battalions all equipped with armored transport vehicles. Is 500 million enough? Probably not even enough armored transport vehicles.
Huang Xu was dumbfounded, "What the hell do you mean this is an army brigade?" There is no such army in the world.
Huang Xu looked at Jones, "Tell me, does the Amerika Army have equipment like this?" "
Jones shook his head, "Beautiful.The Army Marine Brigade has tanks and armored vehicles, but there are no other air defense or artillery battalions. "
Only then did Li Anran realize that he, a half-hearted military fan, had gotten the timeline wrong. The concept of heavy troops has not yet appeared in the world.
Be patient , Li Anran explained the concept of the heavy equipment battalion in detail, and the other two people became more and more surprised as they listened. Finally, Huang Xu couldn't help shouting, "Who can afford to equip such a force that is armed to the teeth? Not even the US military. "
"If they can't do it, we can. It's 15 billion, which is enough for a pilot, let alone an infantry brigade. Don’t you think such a force can kill a division or even an army? Is it considered the most powerful army brigade in the world? "
Jones and Huang Xu nodded at the same time, "Absolutely. "
"Then do it. "Li Anran slapped the table. "Huang Xu, can you contact the country? I will go back to talk to them about this matter in a few days. ”
“Yes, I will contact you early tomorrow morning.” "
Djibouti is now entering the hot season, with the outdoor temperature reaching 37 or 8 degrees Celsius.
Li Anran and his party inspected the port under the scorching sun and had a good impression of its geographical location. After gaining a relatively detailed understanding and understanding, he started negotiations for renting the land.
The result of the negotiation was very satisfactory to him.
The rent was US$15 million per year. The lease period is ninety-nine years.
"This place cannot be used as a training base, but it can be used as a technical secondary school base. "Jones judged. "The weather is too hot and it interferes too much with training. I suggest that the American base should be used as a training base. It is more suitable as an advance base. "
Li Anran doesn't understand military affairs, so naturally he will listen to whatever Jones says. After a rough calculation, it will take at least two years to build the port, and the investment will be huge.
"It can be done. Freight terminals and base supplies can also be satisfied. With the airport, our troops can cover the entire Middle East, half of Europe, and most of Africa. This should be enough. "
Li Anran couldn't close his mouth when he thought that he would be able to start the escort business in a few years. This is a golden waterway. It can collect at least several hundred million in escort fees every year, which means that you can make money just by sitting down. Count it.
Prince Khalid urged from the side, "Let's discuss it when we go back. The contract has been signed, what are we still discussing now? I'm asking you to hurry up and take care of your affairs. "
"Your Highness, Saddam also needs to take a nap, doesn't he? "Li Anran was very dissatisfied.
After a short stay in Shah for a day to rest, Li Anran flew to Xiangjiang, where he transferred back to the capital.
The people who received him this time It wasn't General Zhang, but General Liu from the Ministry of National Defense.
When he heard that Li Anran wanted to recruit 5,000 veterans, General Liu did not agree on the spot but asked carefully about the security company's business model and business model. Profit point.
"You can join our security company according to the labor export model. After training at the base, you will go to the Shah to perform security tasks for about four years. The normal salary is one thousand five dollars a month, and there are subsidies during wartime. Generally Five times more than usual.”
“We pay fees to the state at the rate of one thousand US dollars per person, which is also considered as a way to earn foreign exchange from exports.”
“There are three exports every year. One-third of the people are retired from the army, so this is a long-term business."
After hearing Li Anran's story, General Liu was moved. Five thousand people, $1,000 each, that’s $5 million!
