"What the is going on?" Lin Rui asked, "While I'm still willing to listen, you'd better tell me what happened."
"There are some content, I have not authorized to inform you." Mr. K couldn't help but say.
"Really? No authorization? Goodbye, thank you for wasting my time." Lin Rui stood up, "But I am afraid I am leaving. Although I am not an intelligence officer, I am actually very busy."
"Okay." Mr. K waved his hand, "I was wrong with the previous concealment. Can we sit down and talk."
"Tell me, what are you hiding from us?" Lin Rui asked after sitting down.
Mr. K was silent for a while and said, "This matter has something to do with the United States. I mean the small island. The ongoing project on the island is related to a large American company. I can't disclose the name of this company, but I can tell you that they It is very important. The relationship with the top level of the United States is very close, and it can even influence the political strategy of the United States. Do you know what I mean?"
"Probably understand, large enterprises, military-industrial complexes." Lin Rui frowned slightly.
"It's good if you understand. You have to know that this company is not only involved in the military, but also involved more defense companies, and even the Congress, so its influence is extremely far-reaching. And they are working with the secret agency on a secret project. This means that maybe this project was carried out with some kind of acquiescence." Mr. K shook his head, "Even the CIA can't investigate them."
"So powerful?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Yes, the so-called military-industrial complex refers to a huge interest group composed of military departments, military-industrial enterprises, some members of Congress, and defense research institutions.
The development of these large enterprises has profoundly affected the decision-making of the US government and society. On the one hand, its magic image has penetrated into the daily lives of ordinary people. On the other hand, the rapid development of the military-industrial complex has also made it difficult for countries to operate their national defense economies without leaving private enterprises.
As you know, in recent years, among the major contractors of the US Department of Defense, the top three are Lockheed Martin, Boeing Aircraft and Northrop Grumman.
Among them, Lockheed Martin mainly produces military aircraft and missiles, and is a so-called "pure" defense contracting company. Northrop Grumman is also a pure defense contracting company in the United States, focusing on the production of various types Missiles.
The Boeing Aircraft Company is actually a semi-defense contracting company. The company mainly produces civilian aircraft but also accepts orders from the US Department of Defense. According to statistics, in just one year, the three major defense contractors above each received tens of billions of dollars in contracts from the US Department of Defense.
In addition, General Dynamics, Raytheon, and British BAE Systems have also become the main recipients of US defense contracts.
In the European Union, private companies are also the main contractors of the relevant national defense ministries. In recent years, European Aerospace and Space Corporation has been the main defense contractor of the European Union. It not only accepts orders from the Ministry of Defense of the major EU countries, but also accepts orders from the U.S. Air Force. It has become a typical global multinational arms company. Aircraft company, however, it also accepts military orders from the Ministry of Defense of major European countries.
In France alone, the country’s Dassault Company receives hundreds of millions of euros in defense orders from the French Ministry of Defense every year. Many of France’s advanced high-tech weapons mostly come from this company’s defense orders. This is enough to show how close the relationship between the Ministry of Defense and private companies is. In fact, the Ministry of Defense cannot survive without placing orders from private companies.
Such a huge amount of funds, such a huge influence. You know what it means. It means that a huge interest group, in this collective, no one can be touched.
I discussed this issue privately with my superiors. But the answer is that this is an untouchable red line. In other words, we know that there is a problem, but we can only pretend to be deaf. Otherwise, I am afraid that I cannot protect myself. "Mr. K shook his head.
"Then you let me do this again?" Lin Rui frowned.
"That's because he was not reconciled. He tracked down the secret society for more than a year and found nothing. This is the closest he has ever been, even closer than me." Aladdin replied. "So, he plans to cooperate with me and risk hiring you, but he doesn't have any backing or support."
"In other words, you actually paid for this mission?" Lin Rui turned his head and said.
"Of course, he can't pay you." Aladdin smiled slightly. "To be honest, I also want to know what's on that island. Because most of the secret society plans are made by me, but this time, Obviously something outside the plan. So I am very interested."
"Why didn't you say it before?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Because I haven't had time yet, I'm not the kind of person who likes to give orders. Since Mr. K is willing to do it, I simply leave everything to him. Besides, Mr. K thinks that you will feel relieved if you say this." Aladdin Smiled.
"That's it?" Lin Rui hesitated.
"That's it." Mr. K finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I know that you and the secret society are dead enemies. And you are mercenaries, so even if you go to the island and be found, it will not cause any serious consequences."
"What further information about that island?" Lin Rui muttered.
"There is nothing but one coordinate position." Mr. K shook his head. "In other words, you have to find out everything about the situation there. We don't know how many of them are, how many are combatants, or how armed they are.
I don't even know what they are doing on the island. All this is your task. I hope you can tell us all the answers. "
Lin Rui smiled bitterly, "So you plan to get me over without knowing anything?"
"No way, it is impossible to get close to the island under normal circumstances. And we can't see anything abnormal from the satellite image. It may be because of the large amount of ground camouflage, or they have built large underground facilities on the island." Mr. K Helplessly said, "So, we have no further news about this island."
"Perhaps there are militants from the secret society everywhere there. A reconnaissance team like ours can't fight against them. And how do we go and come back?
There is no backup, no means of evacuation, and go to the isolated island. This means that if we were discovered by them during the reconnaissance, then our reconnaissance team would all have to die on the island. The risk of this mission is too great. It is no exaggeration to say that we are looking for death when we rush to this island. "Lin Rui shook his head.
