Chapter 709: Insider

On the second day after the Black Island Conference, Michelle Silver Wolf flew directly to Arlington County, Virginia. There is a very famous building-the Pentagon.
After verifying his identity, Michelle Silver Wolf was taken to the second basement of the building. Soon a person met him. This was a soldier in his fifties. Although he was wearing a military uniform, he was wearing glasses.
"Happy meeting." The man stretched out his hand, "I am Lannis, brigadier general. You should be the head of the Black Island Company."
"Yes, I'm Michel Wolf. The head of the Black Island Military Company." Silver Wolf nodded.
Lannis nodded, "I have heard the name for a long time. Everything about Mr. Michel is almost a modern legend. So I am curious, how could this mission end in failure?" He did not have too much politeness, but Go straight to the topic. His character is not as gentle as his appearance. "
Silver Wolf shook his head, "If the mission failed this time, it failed. There is no suitable excuse. And I also think that excuses are not enough to cover up the failure. If you really need reasons, I can tell you a lot. For example, yours The information provided was obviously inaccurate, and my operation team was attacked midway, which means that someone knew the time and content of the operation in advance.
But these are meaningless. We are a commercial company, and everything speaks of performance. So I can only express regret for this failure, and don't want to make too many excuses. "
"Hahaha, the silver wolf is still the silver wolf. Actually, I also understand that it is difficult for your strength from similar tasks, even if it is completed? Even if anyone is at any time, it is possible to miss. I still admire your attitude. You are calm, without the slightest panic and avoidance, which shows that you have great confidence." Lannis shrugged, "I like people with this attitude. Then, Michelle Sir, why are you here today?"
"Apologize for this mission." Silver Wolf Michel replied, "This is a question of attitude towards customers. We have not been able to provide corresponding help and solve the trouble, so I think we must apologize."
Lannis was silent for a while and said, "Mr. Michel, I don't know if you believe it or not, our mission this time is actually just a test."
"Temptation?" Michelle frowned.
"Yes. We want to prove whether your Black Island company has enough ability and qualifications to complete the tasks we give. Because we promised to the general, we will give you a chance." Lannis said.
"We already have the qualifications to contract for national defense, there is no doubt about this." Silver Wolf replied.
"I understand, I fully understand what you mean. But you must also understand what I mean. The so-called defense contractor qualification is just a ticket to the concert, and we are now talking about the VIP seats. Do you know the difference between these?" Lannis smiled slightly, "We have cooperation with many defense contractors. But most of the cooperation is only shallow level, and there is not much real deep level cooperation."
"For example?" Silver Wolf's eyes flashed.
"The U.S. military is currently the most dependent on private contractors in the world. According to data from the Center for Strategic and International Studies of the United States, since 2000, the Department of Defense has basically given more than 60 annual funding to contractors.
In addition to performing the most basic military duties, American soldiers have outsourced all the affairs of the military. From the development and manufacture of military weapons to the logistics services related to food, drink and Lazar, private contractors are everywhere. Even the transportation and food companies are defense contractors. Lannis shrugged and smiled, "This is what I call shallow cooperation. The main reason why we favor the business outsourcing model is mainly because it can reduce costs and improve efficiency. "
"So high-level?" Silver Wolf also smiled back.

In 2015, the five companies that received the most orders from the U.S. military were Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon, General Dynamics and Grumman. They are also the world’s largest armament manufacturers. Only these five companies received The military orders accounted for one-third of the Ministry of Defense’s outsourcing expenditures.
Lannis shrugged,
Please note that this is hundreds of billions of dollars.

Yinlang nodded, "I totally believe it, because I have a pretty good relationship with several of them."
"This is the deep level." Lannis smiled slightly. "After the 9/11 incident, the outsourcing of the US military has experienced explosive development, especially the service business. What we call service contractors is more than just undertaking. Logistic roles such as chefs and construction workers, or engineer roles that provide technical support for equipment maintenance.
Instead, he took up weapons and started acting, including military training intelligence collection and even part of the defense business. In modern countries, these businesses can generally only be undertaken by government troops. For example, in Iraq, the biggest beneficiaries of the security contract are companies such as the Blackwater Company Dion International Sampong. They have undertaken tasks including training soldiers’ camp security, and even interrogation and intelligence collection tasks, while the more concealed ones are directly participating in combat.
This is what the general wants to win for you, deep cooperation. "
Silver Wolf Nice nodded calmly, "I understand. This is the VIP seat you mentioned."
"Yes. The previous mission was just a joke, because I don't think you can even handle this kind of thing. Listen to Michelle, I talked to the general, and we all want the black island to enter. This circle. It’s not just a small fight outside. I have also heard of some small frictions between you and the management committee. Believe me, it will not have any effect.
Even Lewis, he acted with a wink. There is no guts to fight the decision of the Pentagon, because we are the biggest customer, and the customer is God. This is the rule in the world. Lannis sighed.
"So what do we need to do to get into this circle?" Silver Wolf Michel said.
"First you have to think about it, and then you have to do something that satisfies us. Next, I will provide you with some contracts from time to time. Of course it is not a public one. You have to do well to make the military have an impression of your abilities. Profound. The relationship of trust is gradually formed, and once it is formed, it is difficult to break. General is such an example." Lannis said with a slight smile, "Otherwise, how could Morningstar suddenly rise back then?"
Silver Wolf Michel frowned, "But our mission failed this time, why would you choose to help me?"
"Because I help people who are worthy of help, it's like an investment. If I help you, then you owe me favor." Lannis smiled slightly. "Maybe when I retire from the military, I can also find a job in your company."
