Chapter 239: Usurp

At Morningstar Military Corporation, no one really knows what kind of person the CEO can do, but no matter who has difficulties or has unsolvable difficulties, they will ask him for help. Whether it is a military leader of a major country or an international military group, they must recognize the existence of this person to a certain extent.
He never excuses, nor promises empty words, as long as he promises you, you can put aside the big things, because he will never disappoint you. You don't have to be his friend, as long as you pay him. He is the real king of the mercenary world, but very few people know his true identity, and everyone doesn't even know his name, just calling him a general.
He likes this title and is proud of it.
Based on this, many people infer that the general is likely to have served as a senior member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, citing the relationship between him and the NATO Military Council. Moreover, the general himself has a deep influence on the US military.
Looking at his appearance alone, it is difficult to imagine what kind of person this sickly old man would be like. His health has deteriorated in recent months, so much so that there is always a steel cylinder next to his wheelchair, and the tiny tube for oxygen is under his nose.
The general suddenly felt a trace of sadness. Even in a bad environment, he would not feel desperate. But now he seems to have nothing else to do except despair. It turns out that this is aging.
It is said that women are afraid of old age, but men are also afraid. Since ancient times, famous generals have been like confidantes. Because of the stunning beauty, it is more difficult to bear old age and decline; because of the invincible star, it is even more difficult to bear the day when he can no longer fight. Time is as cruel to everyone.
"General, someone is asking for a meeting." The young attendant beside the old man bowed his head.
General "It's Joe" slowly turned around and said.
The young attendant nodded, "Yes, and there are several other board members."
The general frowned, "How many people do you mean?"
"Eight, there are eight people in total, general." The attendant whispered.
The general sighed, "Unsurprisingly, let them in."
The attendant nodded and walked out. In a moment, Joe. Claire and others all walked in. Looking at the CEO, "General, I think there is something I must notify you in advance."
"Say." The general said with half-closed eyes.
"In the afternoon, the company is going to convene a board of directors to discuss a proposal. As far as your current health is concerned, we don't expect you to participate, but as usual, you must be notified in advance." Qiao said calmly.
"Oh, what kind of bill actually requires labor? Eight of the entire twelve-seat board of directors" said the general slowly.
"Let me say, it's not just the eight seats on the board of directors. But in addition to the first three seats, and the seventh seat closer to you, all the board members. We are preparing to pass a resolution to determine the new Company leadership. Your Excellency, the era when you control Morningstar is about to pass. The new leadership will bring new changes." Qiao said calmly.
"The new leadership is based on the eight of you," the general sneered. "You are just bureaucrats, speculators, and mercenary leaders. Your group is just a mob. The existence and operation of private military companies are not It is not as simple as you think. Once you are in power, you will lose at least 80% of your business."
"You don't need to worry about this." Joe shrugged. "As soon as you leave, others will come in. I have already contacted several retired generals with quite a background. The positions offered by military companies are very interesting. Of course, using their respective influences, we can still stabilize the operation of the company."
"It seems that you are all really ready," the general said lightly.
"Of course, as the founder of the company, we will respectfully invite you to leave. We even prepared a very valuable contract to buy the shares in your hands. As long as you are willing to let go, you will still be a friend of Morningstar. "Joe smiled.
"In other words, if I don't let go, I will become the enemy of Morningstar." The general sneered. "Joe, look at the group of people around you, even in the face of me, an old and sick old man. There are a few who dare to speak loudly, you really think you can control Morningstar."
"You are no longer a threat." Qiao said slowly, "As for the company's second seat, we have never seen it in so many years. Some people even suspect that this person does not exist at all, but a virtual title you set up for exclusive authority. Our biggest problem at the moment is the Silver Wolf, but he is now in Africa and he is beyond reach."
"Once he comes back," the old man said slowly, "His loyalty to me is unquestionable, and you will kill yourself."
"Then we won't let him come back. We have already dispatched people. Make sure he can't return to the United States." Qiao smiled slightly.
The general shook his head and said, "You can't kill him. No one can kill him."
"I didn't say that I would kill him. I will only selectively make some old files public. Don't forget, Silver Wolf has done a lot of dirty work before. This will cause a lot of attention. Morningstar Private Military The company’s senior management has a bad record and has repeatedly organized illegal military activities inside and outside the country." Joe smiled, "From then on, he will be the target of public criticism, and it is not only us who have to deal with him."
"You have to expose him and use the national intelligence and security departments to restrict him." The general's face changed slightly. "But if you do this, Morningstar will also be dragged in. Considering what we have done before, Morningstar Military Security The company may even be banned."
"No, since I have evidence against Silver Wolf, I naturally have something against the U.S. government. If I get anxious, I will thoroughly expose this information. This is more brilliant than Snowden's revelations. So I I believe they will compromise." Joe smiled. "You see, for your honorable retirement, I have made very careful arrangements. Now you can leave with confidence."
"Do you really think that as long as you get rid of me and the Silver Wolf, you will get the whole Morning Star?" The general smiled bitterly. "Perhaps in your opinion, I am just an old guy who does not let go of power. But you are wrong. It’s not that I don’t want to leave, but I know that once I leave, Morningstar Military Security will cease to exist. You will not end well either."
