"Trafficking arms?!" After hearing this, the second old man's eyes widened.
"Yes, arms trafficking." Ye Kai's answer was very affirmative, and it was obvious that he was serious.
The second old man thought about it for a while and then said to Ye Kai, "This matter is not very reliable."
Because of the Nanmen Incident two years ago, the Americans, together with Western countries, are imposing an economic blockade, weapons embargo, and other sanctions on the Republic. Some sensitive materials are very
It is difficult to transport arms through sea channels, not to mention that there are no large-scale wars in neighboring countries. It seems unlikely that arms trafficking will be carried out through land channels.
What's more, the senior leaders of the Republic of China are not very interested in arms trade. The only channels they have are with countries with relatively good relations, and the number is not very large.
So when this matter was brought up, the first thing that came to my mind was that it was not feasible. One was the lack of supply, and the other was the lack of market channels. Without these two supports, how could arms trafficking be discussed?
But the most important problem still lies in the relationship between the Republic of China and the United States.
The Republic does not want to irritate the Americans too much or cause a lot of trouble because of a small profit. Moreover, major customers of international arms dealers such as Uncle Alara, basically
They are all regular customers from Western countries and are not so easy to accept other sources of goods.
Moreover, this is not in line with the national policy of the Republic.
"I'm just borrowing someone from you. The source of goods and market channels are outside and have nothing to do with the country." Ye Kai said, "The most important thing is loyalty. This is the first thing to consider."
When the second old man heard this, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
There are such talents, but as he said to Ye Kai, everyone is a treasure of the military. Although the second old man, Prince, controls the Military Commission, he does not cover the sky with one hand and does things that harm the public and enrich private interests. Naturally, he cannot do it often.
.
"It's not like we need a lot of people, just two is enough." Ye Kai said.
"If there are two, we can still find them..." The second old man thought for a while, and finally nodded, "But you have to tell me your plan."
After all, the second old man, Mr. Zi, is still more curious.
"I'm not afraid to tell you this. Anyway, the government will definitely not come forward to do this." When Ye Kai heard that the second old man agreed to borrow someone, he immediately became energetic and told the second old man about his plan.
Mengzi talked for a while.
Ye Kai's target was naturally the Soviet Union's huge arsenal.
The power of the Soviet Union is indeed very powerful. It is said that during the Cold War, in order to counter the nuclear deterrence of the United States, the Soviet Union built a set of "super doomsday weapons" - the "Edge System" under top secret conditions, also known as the "Edge System"
"Hand of Death". Once a nuclear war breaks out between the United States and the Soviet Union, the activated "edge system" will begin to automatically detect. If it does not receive a response from the Soviet high-level within a certain period of time, it will automatically identify it as "the end of the world is coming."
"The Soviet leadership has disappeared" and immediately launched a desperate counterattack against the United States.
As for the Soviet nuclear bomb stockpile, it is also an extremely huge number.
However, Ye Kai naturally has no way to get involved in equipment like this, and he doesn't have the courage. If possible, he might consider the suitcase nuclear bomb. This thing is relatively powerful and small in size. If he can get dozens of them
There are hundreds of tricks, and it is the best weapon to blackmail Americans.
Strictly speaking, if nuclear weapons are in the hands of the government, they can only serve as a deterrent at most. But if they are in the hands of private individuals, their influence will be very great. With so many nuclear bombs, I think
There is no big problem in establishing a country overseas.
Of course, the premise is that you must have a launch vehicle to launch a nuclear bomb, or at least a medium-range missile. Otherwise, the threat will be greatly reduced.
"What I'm mainly interested in are the conventional weapons of the Soviet Union..." Ye Kai said to the second old man, "The wars in Africa and the Middle East have never stopped, and there are countries like Afghanistan.
Even some small countries in South America, where there is a threat from anti-government armed forces, will become our arms dumping grounds."
In fact, arms trade is also a special component of international trade.
As an indirect means of international military struggle, it plays a unique role in adjusting multilateral relations, improving strategic situations, and balancing strategic forces. It has important political, military, and diplomatic significance.
At the same time, as one of the most profitable businesses in the world, it is also an important way for some countries to obtain greater economic benefits and ensure the survival and development of their own industries.
Therefore, after the end of the Cold War, the arms trade, as an important part of international politics, economy, and military, has also undergone profound changes with the changes in the international situation, and at the strategic level it has shown some completely different characteristics from the Cold War period.
.
What Ye Kai values now is that after the end of the Cold War, the Soviet Union has not yet fully integrated with the international community, the domestic political situation is very chaotic, and the corruption at the top of the military is serious. In this case, if he wants to take the lead,
Fishing in the jungle.
"Actually, I just want to make a time difference." Ye Kai said to the second elder, "During the Cold War, due to the fierce confrontation between the East and the West, international arms trade, as a means of military struggle, also had
Strong confrontation. As the main arms suppliers to their respective camps, when the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, provide weapons and equipment to their allies or quasi-allies, their main consideration is not economic interests, but political and
Military interests. For example, the United States clearly stipulates in the Arms Sales Control Act that the sale of weapons can only strengthen the national security of the United States and is consistent with the foreign policy of the United States.
Exports can only be approved if the policies are consistent with the United States. Therefore, countries that have military trade relations with the United States are generally direct allies first, followed by indirect allies or friendly countries. The United States not only strictly prohibits exporting letters to
Countries that uphold communism sell weapons, and there are many restrictions on the sales of weapons by developing countries."
As a result, there are many blind spots in the world that American fire dealers cannot do business with.
“In fact, developing foreign arms trade is also a means to curb the excessive development of U.S. power.” Ye Kai also said, “In fact, arms trade still plays an indispensable role in adjusting multilateral relations and balancing geopolitics.
The role of substitution. For example, after the Cold War, in order to avoid the emergence of new strategic vacuums, power imbalances, and regional powers that threaten its global interests, the United States continues to rely on arms trade to curb such situations while constantly looking for various solutions.
On the one hand, the arms trade can maintain and expand the relationship between the United States and its allies, bring relevant countries or regions into the U.S. sphere of influence, and become part of the U.S. global strategy.
Interests cause harm."
For some arms-importing countries, arms trade not only rapidly improves the technical level of weapons and equipment and enhances defense capabilities, it also becomes a means for them to seek high-level security interests that go beyond the scope of military power.
After the Gulf War, in order to maintain their own security, the member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council did not adopt a one-sided approach to the United States when purchasing armaments. Instead, they purchased advanced weapons from the United States, Britain, France and other countries.
The reason for this is that one of the main considerations of the Gulf countries is to take care of the interests of the military importing countries, and use military trade as a means of struggle to "build momentum" to make friends with other countries and obtain the security guarantee of major powers.
Or a verbal safety promise.
"As you said, the arms trade in the Gulf is basically monopolized by the United States and other Western countries." The second old man frowned and said, "But Africa is so poor, are you sure you can absorb it?"
Have you received your money back?”
"The arms trade itself is a high-risk, high-return undertaking. However, if you want to sell it to African countries, naturally you cannot charge their currency, and even the U.S. dollar is not easy to use." Ye Kai replied with a smile, "But they have gold.
And diamonds!”
In fact, Ye Kai prefers diamonds to gold.
Because this thing is smaller in size and has higher value, or the payment after a transaction can be carried back alone by one person in a suitcase, which is the most convenient.
Moreover, diamonds are non-renewable resources, and their value will only get higher and higher. It would be perfect if Ye Kai could set up a large-scale gemstone and jewelry company specifically to process and sell diamond jewelry when he has time.
.
Of course, this kind of thing can also easily cause a backlash from international arms dealers. For example, Americans can easily detect clues of arms trafficking from the diamond trade, and then follow the clues to find the door.
The second son's worries are mainly focused on the relationship between the Republic of China and the United States. Although relations with the United States are still relatively tense today, the impact of the Nanmen Incident is slowly fading over time.
, relations with the United States are also recovering, which is naturally in line with the development of the Republic of China's foreign relations.
If the normalization of relations with the United States is affected because of Ye Kai's mischief outside, things will be in trouble.
"That's why I'm looking for an agent." Ye Kai said, "The source of goods is in the Soviet Union, the market is in Africa, or some other remote places, and the middleman is a Soviet person. I just sit back and wait to collect the money. The United States
Even if people know who is behind it, what excuse can they use to pursue me? China is not a place where they can run wild!"
The second old man, Mr. Zi, nodded, feeling that what Ye Kai said made sense.
Anyway, the international arms trade is a matter of arguing with each other. Everyone wants to dump their weapons to third countries, but they are worried that other countries will follow the same example and affect their own national security, so this matter is done
There are also some rules and regulations, and you can't just mess around.
But when it comes to private arms trafficking, there won't be so many scruples, or Ye Kai may be able to make the Americans feel very anxious after some troubles.
"In principle, I support you, but the details need to be carefully considered." The second old man thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to support Ye Kai. Aside from the fact that he is the sole heir of his old Ye family, this general
The idea of changing the strategic structure of the world through arms trade is also worth a try.
