Chapter 1442: Military business

The banquet arranged by Colonel Morowski is very characteristic of the military camp. The banquets are all home-cooked dishes of the bear country, such as potato baked mushrooms, beef stew, mushroom fried rice, meat patties, chicken rolls, cheese baked tomatoes. . . . . . Oh, and the pickled cucumber and red cabbage soup that is essential to every meal of all bearers. Paired with big Liba, ah, definitely better than Xiao Peng's food on the breeding boat.
Except for dumplings. Xiao Peng took a bite and almost spit it out.
Dumplings stuffed with mashed potatoes and cheese, any Chinese would like to vomit!
Of course, vodka is even more indispensable. The table is full of vodka called ‘Red Star’. Xiao Peng has never seen this kind of vodka, taste the taste. . . . . Well, it's strong! Compared to those high-end vodkas, the taste of this wine is really bad, but in Morowski's words, soldiers like to drink it!
The problem that Luan Xiwu and the others worried that the Xiong State soldiers would get drunk them did not happen. They left after eating, including Emilia also went back to rest.
The reason is quite embarrassing. This bear country man loves shirtless when he is happy. When Morowski is the emperor on this island, he loves whoever he loves, so after three cups of wine, he directly sang the shirtless "Katyusha" "Cuckoo" These popular songs by Xiong Country.
Well, although the atmosphere was really good, Emilia was embarrassed when she saw such a group of shirtless bears, so she used the excuse to go back to rest and let Xiao Peng and the others continue to drink. The professors Luan Xiwu also took the opportunity to slip away.
Xiao Peng also understood why Morowski was so concerned about Xiao Peng's help in breeding. At first he thought it had something to do with the Great Emperor and Patriarch Kiri, who knew it was not.
The reason why they value Xiao Peng and them so much is because Morowski intends to invest in a king salmon processing plant!
This belongs to military business and is not allowed by the Xiong country. So Morowski wanted to drag Xiao Peng into the water.
It is the consensus of almost all countries in the world to ban the military from doing business. With the exception of the warlord armed forces of the black siege in Africa, almost all decent countries in the world can afford their own military. To this day, only the armies of Egypt, Indonesia, Cuba, Iran, Vietnam, and Northland are still engaged in business.
Huaxia had done it before, but found that this was not possible, and corruption was likely to breed problems, so Huaxia ceased its military business.
At that time, Vietnam started to conduct business with the military from Huaxia School. As a result, due to the complicated interest disputes between the North and South factions in Vietnam, the military’s business operations were not allowed to stop. Until now, what about telecommunications, mining, transportation, etc. in Vietnam? All in the hands of the army. Now even the Vietnamese army uses business money to buy weapons.
The Northland is even more impressive. All Northland's foreign trade activities are in the hands of the military, and the coverage is extremely wide, such as aquaculture, food processing, and mining. . . . . . As long as it makes money, the army will do it.
With the exception of Iran, almost all armies do business because of one word-poor!
And although Xiong State is now down and down, of course it will not even be able to support the army, but this cannot stand up to the fact that Xiong State's soldiers are poor. In order to make money, Xiong's soldiers can only use a simpler and more practical method, which is to sell military assets.
Especially during the period when the former Soviet Union was just disintegrated, it turned out that the countries that joined were more economically difficult than the other, and in some cases it was so difficult that even the salaries of the soldiers were not paid.
During that period, the soldiers of the Xiong country relied on secretly selling all kinds of weapons and equipment in exchange for money, and there was nothing they were afraid to sell.
During the Soviet period, in order to expand their nuclear strike capabilities against the Star-Stripe Nation as much as possible, they even equipped division-level units with tactical nuclear weapons! Every division has nuclear weapons! After the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the establishment of the Xiong State, this rule was inherited, but the system had to be changed later.
Why would it change? Hundreds of nuclear warheads were'lost' in Uzbekistan during that period, but Xiong lost only a lot more!
In the former Soviet Union, military bases, arsenals and warehouses were the most common. Later, due to various reasons, many military bases were abandoned. Hidden in woods everywhere, underground in cities and other places.
When these military bases were abandoned, the weapons and equipment were all inside, and they were all secretly sold.
Nothing they were afraid to do, just a few years ago, several naval officers packaged and sold 30 anti-submarine missiles and 200 aerial bombs. According to statistics, only ten years after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Xiong State has secretly sold weapons and equipment worth tens of billions of dollars. There are more than 100 officers at the rank of ‘General’ alone! Many weapons dealers at the entrance of the barracks are waiting there, buying weapons and equipment in cash at any time!
Later, Xiong Guo began to crack down on this issue. "You must be arrested if you do it, and you must be sentenced if you are caught." Now the situation of the Xiong State stealing arms is much better than before, but this also raises another problem: the Xiong State soldiers are too poor! Hunger to die, not to eat enough. So now many local armies have started to do business privately.
And Xiong Guo also turned a blind eye to this matter-by the way, can it improve the local economy? Just like Kunasher Island’s pillar industry, tourism, is actually controlled by the military.
However, it is obvious that the tourism industry on Kunasher Island is not very good. Just look at the meals that Morowski entertains them. The master teacher takes cheap vodka to entertain the guests, which shows that the life is not good.
When it was known that the bear country was going to cooperate with China to engage in breeding, whether it was the bear country people on Kunasher Island or the bear country people on Itupuru Island were very disdainful of this matter!
The fishery resources of the South Thousand Islands are not generally rich. Just throw a hook anywhere on the beach, and you will definitely catch fish within five minutes. There is no small fish less than half a catty! We still use you to teach breeding? What an international joke!
So when it comes to cooperating with Sihai Fisheries in aquaculture, people here don’t catch a cold at all! In the eyes of most people, this is the face friendship project jointly launched by the Stars and Stripes Nation and China, and the meaning is what it means!
But this Morowski was so happy after knowing it! Others don't know Xiao Peng, he does! When Xiao Peng went to Kamchatka, he sold a batch of King Salmon! Of course he knows the price of this king salmon!
Originally, this matter was the same as Xiao Peng knew. It was planned to cooperate on Itupuru Island, and it would not be the turn of Kunasher Island. After all, the bear country also had to consider regional security issues? What if those extremists in the Wa country came here to make trouble and destroy the super cage?
But Itupuru doesn't care about it at all and has no interest in it! So Morowski took the opportunity to win this project! But this ushered in new troubles.
Although Molosky won the breeding project, the Kunasher Island government is reluctant: this is an image project that wastes manpower and material resources. For the people of Kunasher Island, this matter is to increase the pressure on the people. Is a waste of taxpayers' wealth!
Anyway, at the end of the matter, the ball was kicked to Morowski-the project you won, you do it yourself!
Morowski was not happy with this result. He was thinking about how to contribute to the military and get a share of the project. It turned out to be good, and in the end all the big fruits hit him directly! Now the people under Chen Zetao's hands are all from the military of Kunasher Island!
With a group of active soldiers engaged in breeding, Chen Zetao is also good enough. Now on Kunasher Island, no matter where he goes, there are a few soldiers carrying weapons behind him.
This incident illustrates the importance of intelligence! If Molosky didn't know Xiao Peng, he didn't know the value of King Salmon. Then he must have missed an opportunity to make a fortune.
And his ambition is quite big, or the business acumen is quite zero. He wants to build a salmon processing factory to process the whole king salmon into fillets, the roe into caviar, and then the final fish bones can be processed. Into feed. Can maximize benefits.
Molosky's hometown is from Petropavlovsk, and there are several fish processing factories over there!
It is really simple to build a factory on Kunashur Island. More than 90% of the island is covered by forest. Some of the land, like Kamchatka Peninsula, people only live in a few towns. It is really easy to build a processing plant!
The way they talked about cooperation with Xiao Peng surprised Xiao Peng.
In this cooperation, Xiao Peng only needs Xiao Peng to come forward and invest and build a factory here. As for subsequent plant construction, recruitment and sales, their military is responsible! Anyway, there is a teacher stationed here, whether it is building materials or people! Things in the army, don't need it for nothing!
cough. . . . . . It is for this reason that China does not allow the military to do business.
Only then did Xiao Peng know that he and Alexander, an old fishmonger in Petropavlovsk, were actually relatives. This also explained why Morowski was so concerned about this salmon farming plan. With the sales channels of old Alexander, he can sell as many fish as possible!
Xiao Peng now only feels dumbfounded. The commercial cooperation that was originally intended to benefit the people of the Southern Kuril Islands has almost now turned into a commercial cooperation with the military of Kunashur Island. The people here want to make money with this project? I can only work in the salmon processing factory to be completed in the future.
Understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Xiao Peng asked curiously, "Is it troublesome to invest and build a factory here? I originally planned to leave soon."
"Trouble?" Morowski held up his glass: "It's already crazy here. As long as there is foreign investment to build a factory, it will be the same as when a soldier who had been playing in Grozny for several months saw a woman for the first time. Green eyes shine!"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "That's an exaggeration, right?"
Molosky fell silent suddenly: "Xiao, I participated in the first Chechen War and was the first group of soldiers from the Bear State to attack Grozny."
"Fuck!" Yang Meng was excited after hearing this, and he directly held up the wine glass: "You must toast you a glass, and toast you are still alive! A living legend."
