"Oh? What kind of unexpected gain is it?" Mr. K frowned.
"Our people obtained some intelligence after conducting a secret investigation into Rochester Military Resources. This intelligence shows that Rochester Military Resources Company is not just a simple provider of military security services. They are also secretly involved in assassinations and intelligence. , and many private illegal transactions." Mr. K's assistant whispered.
"This is normal. How many private military companies can be clean?" Mr. K shook his head and said, "It's not that we don't know many things, we just turn a blind eye. Because of many things, the military They are also involved, and we don¡¯t want to get into trouble with those military bosses.¡±
¡°The military will not allow him to sell arms to terrorists privately,¡± the assistant whispered. ¡°According to our intelligence, they are selling some military supplies and even weapons to terrorists in the Middle East.¡±
"Is this information accurate? Where did they get the military supplies?" Mr. K frowned.
"The intelligence is very accurate. Last year, the Defense Logistics Agency stated that there are now billions of dollars worth of excess inventory in U.S. military warehouses, and a large amount of equipment is expected to be shipped back from Afghanistan in the near future. The U.S. Department of Defense is facing a war There is an inventory crisis, and it is not easy to absorb excess equipment.
Because it could become yet another cost that Pentagon planners failed to foresee and must absorb as the Defense Department works to cut spending. Given current fiscal pressures, the inventory issues facing the Department of Defense are troubling and will certainly intensify. The director of the Logistics Bureau believes that the processing of combat materials is necessary. Warehouse space must be freed up.
? These excess inventories contain everything: vehicle parts and supplies, gear, weapons. These are everything the U.S. military needs to fight two wars in the past 10 years. Therefore, the military believes that a lot of equipment must either be devalued and sold, or sold at a high price through foreign military sales, or destroyed. The reason is simple: The United States does not have enough space to store all the supplies shipped back from overseas.
These three solutions all require manpower to operate, but because there is too much equipment in the warehouse, the manpower equipped to track the required parts is already stretched. According to data released by the Department of Defense in 2010, the total value of the U.S. military's inventory is approximately US$100 billion, and the value of excess inventory exceeds US$9 billion. The Department of Defense has recognized its expanding inventory and has initiated a comprehensive inventory handling program. The Government Accountability Office released a report on the program in May, saying the Defense Department's lack of measurement standards could seriously harm efforts to reduce the inventory.
¡°However, the report does address systemic inventory issues that have plagued the Pentagon for years.
The report identified the management of the DoD supply chain as a high-risk area, due in part to poor inventory management operations and procedures, inefficiencies, a weak ability to accurately predict spare parts, and difficulty in achieving widespread practice of key technologies to improve equipment visibility. These factors have led to a backlog of billions of dollars in excess spare parts that the US military needs to deal with urgently.
According to our investigation, the Pentagon¡¯s inventory clearance project was contracted by Rochester Military Resources Company. This allows them to dispose of various US military surplus equipment and supplies, and even second-hand weapons, at low prices. "
"I've heard a lot about this. Many supplies are sold cheaply, and even items costing more than 1,000 US dollars are only sold for 50 US dollars." Mr. K nodded. "However, these are strictly regulated. Ammunition and explosives are not included in the sale. Main battle equipment such as armored vehicles, tanks and helicopters must be cut into scrap metal before they can be sold. In addition, some countries and organizations cannot purchase military equipment. Leftover supplies.¡±
"Yes, but it seems that someone did not abide by such regulations." Mr. K's assistant whispered, "The reason is very simple, scrap metal is not as valuable as equipment. And cutting these equipment requires manpower and material resources. Hughes and His company, under the guise of helping the US military clean up its inventory, sold a large amount of military supplies to terrorists. The reason is simple: these people are rich. He only needs to pay the US military a small amount of processing fees, and the price difference is huge. It all went into his personal pocket.¡±
"Damn, this bastard. This is equivalent to him recycling the excess equipment from the military at the price of scrap, but selling it to terrorists who are willing to pay a high price at the price of second-hand goods or even brand-new goods." Mr. K Shaking his head, he said, "I know that these mercenaries are profit-seeking guys and cannot be trusted. But our military has to rely on their power in some fields. How much evidence do we have in this regard?"
"I'm afraid there are many." Mr. K's assistant whispered.
"Don't make any noise first, collect all these information before we talk." Mr. K sneered, "This Hughes is a shameless person. He can collude with terrorists, and naturally he can also collude with the Russians."The guy does business. It seems that we underestimated him. "
"So, what are you going to do, sir?" Mr. K's assistant whispered.
"Although these things cannot form evidence that he is related to the attack on our base, they at least confirm that he and his Rochester Military Resources Company had already done bad things before this." Mr. K He sneered, "With these, we have a handle on Hughes. We will continue to investigate him. It's almost time for us to meet the boss of Hughes."
"Yes, sir." Mr. K's assistant nodded, "In addition, some of our agents in Russia also provided some information." The assistant handed a document bag in his hand to Mr. K.
Mr. K frowned slightly and took out a stack of photos, which showed the meeting between Hughes and Russian intelligence officials.
"When were these photos taken?" Mr. K frowned.
"Just recently, before and after the incident at our base, he had secretly met with Russian intelligence and military officials many times. It is said that he is trying his best to become one of the first legal private military companies in Russia, so he is trying his best to gain ground. See I have met many important people and want to sell well to the Russians.
Also, it is said that the assassin who assassinated the Black Island mercenary seemed to have some connection with Hughes. The purpose may be to prevent the smooth progress of negotiations between Black Island Company and the Russians. "Mr. K's assistant whispered.
"If this is the case, then Hughes's motivations will be explained." Mr. K mused. "He really wants to develop his business in Russia. Maybe he thinks this is a good opportunity. Maybe he has a relationship with Russia." People reached some kind of agreement, so he took a desperate risk, attacked the base, and rescued the Russians."
