Chapter Fifteen Bigger and Stronger

This humiliating defeat of the United States has become the biggest international topic in the past two days. Regarding this defeat, defense contractor John Shepard, who was lucky enough to survive the shutdown and experienced it, had something to say about it.

The United States is shameless for failing like this. Look at how many leaders the CIA has changed in one term. Has it changed? MI6 also has something to say. What team I lead is the Cambridge Five. You lead the CIA.

What kind of team is this? If it loses again, it will lose to Vietnam. If North Korea loses, it will lose to Cuba. If Cuba loses, it will lose to Yala. If it continues to lose, the free world will be doomed!

The above paragraph is actually just Shepard's own imagination while lying in the special ward, because from the current point of view, Yara's failure has not caused any turmoil in the top management. It seems that the gentlemen above are used to overturning the situation.

Of course, this action cannot be said to be without any consequences, because the Russians seized a large amount of aid provided by the CIA as evidence, which made the United States extremely passive internationally. Therefore, everyone who is a direct participant must remain silent about this.

In other words, even Pegasus will be canceled and shut down. As for silencing, this is not a movie. If you do black ops once and you kill them once, who will do the hard work for you?

In short, the attitude of the United States is to deny it until death. I won’t listen to anything you say. They are all false accusations!

However, the noisy noise of the people above has nothing to do with the people below. Just like Shepard, he is unlucky and unlucky, and lucky and lucky. Why he is unlucky because he was the only one injured in this operation, and he is lucky because of the incident.

The sniper bullets only made two holes in his butt.

At this moment, Shepard was extremely grateful to the cheap mother in this life. If she hadn't fed him strong food since childhood, the bullet might not have penetrated through the flesh of his buttocks.

After the injury, Shepard was directly admitted to the best hospital in Miami for treatment. Even Smith was considering whether to use his connections to transfer Shepard back to the San Diego Naval Hospital. However, given that his injuries were too minor, the plan was eventually cancelled.

, after all, it’s just two more bullet holes on the butt, and it will heal after a few days.

Although he was lying on the hospital bed, Shepard was not idle. On the day Pegasus was canceled, a brand new Shadow Company appeared on the list of contractor companies, and this newly established company

Although it doesn't have a single employee, it has a bunch of properties to its name, including an ocean-going cargo ship, several helicopters, and hundreds of employees.

"So, you still want to be a contractor?"

"After all, sometimes you have to challenge yourself, right?"

Because the wound was on his butt, Shepard could only lie down and had to take off his pants. Fortunately, most of the doctors who took care of him were male doctors. He was not shy at all. Men can't expose their shortcomings, but they definitely don't have their strong points.

questionable!

"Then if you want me to do anything else, just tell me. I'll be back in California in a few days!"

Smith sat beside the hospital bed, smoking a cigar while walking around.

"I want to build a gun factory first!"

"?"

Smith frowned, put out his cigar, and then said.

"It's not difficult to have a gun factory, but why are you doing this, making new guns?"

"No, why are we making new guns? We are making gun accessories!"

"What kind of accessories can a rifle have, such as a scope, a bayonet, or at worst, an m203 grenade launcher? What use can this have?"

"It's useless now, but it doesn't mean it won't be useful in the future. It's just taking advantage of it. Do you believe that in the future, someone will actually install a bunch of stuff on a five-hundred-dollar gun that is not actually used, but just for the sake of coolness? It's like

Like a Christmas tree!”

"But you also said that was in the future! John, I know you have many, many ideas, but running a company is not a child's play. The first thing you have to consider is how to maintain operations, rather than developing something all at once.

New plan, that will bring down the company!"

"I understand, so what do you think I should do now?"

“Business issues first!”

Smith rubbed his cigar again and sighed.

"Do you know what is the most profitable thing about the company right now?"

“Sea freight in Vietnam!”

"Yes, everything is paid for by the navy. Even if we failed in this trip to Yala, we still didn't lose a penny. Why do you think this is?"

"Because Uncle Sam pays for everything!"

"So, do you understand?"

"Understood!"

Then the two of them began to laugh. Smith's meaning was very simple, that is, you should choose the kind of business that has someone who takes advantage of you. You must not touch those who are responsible for their own profits and losses, or touch less. This is the way to make a fortune.

As for whose head the final cost is transferred to, well, everyone understands.

"But I still need a firearms workshop and some technical staff!"

"Don't worry, I'll pay for it myself!"

Shepard saw that Smith wanted to lecture again, so he quickly explained.

"Just do it!"

Smith was helpless, but after visiting Shepard, he still made a few calls. His original intention was to find a small company that was on the verge of bankruptcy for acquisition. However, somehow, this matter fell into Morgan's ears, and the old guy immediately

He laughed at his old friend's pedantic cuteness.

"Why are you looking for a company to acquire? Can't you invest in a small company?"

These words made Smith suddenly enlightened. Then he found a company that was not even a firearms company. The operator was named Red Knight. His company's main focus was commercial and civilian shooting equipment, but the company's profits were pretty good.

, except that the current scale is smaller, there is nothing wrong with it.

Company manager Red Knight doesn't feel bad about the sudden investment. For him, the company's business has become saturated in Miami. Cooperating with investors with military backgrounds to open up

The brand-new military market is very beneficial to everyone, so the joint venture hit it off immediately, and we took it willingly.

Shepard didn't know about it yet, and when Smith told him a week later, everyone else was dumbfounded.

"Wait a minute, what's the name of the operator you just mentioned?"

"Red Knight, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just think the name is very good!"

Shepard almost peed with laughter, because without Smith's intervention, in 1978, Red Knight would have chosen to establish a firearms company for military orders, and the company's subsequent business was actually just like that, for example

Provide one million sets of firearm accessories to the US military, or build some silencers for HK.

“Now it seems that becoming bigger and stronger is no longer a dream!”
