The United States is a country where money is paramount. As long as you have money and are willing to pay, you can get almost all kinds of services. Even the national departments also serve large consortiums that are willing to provide various sponsorships, and they are also very dedicated.
, I don’t think this is a shameful bribe at all. What you pay must be rewarded. This has always been the rule.
Otherwise, the White House would not have the reputation of a "revolving-docomovenment", and executives and senior officials would become synonymous here.
As ordinary taxpayers, American citizens, as long as they pay enough taxes, can enjoy all the rights guaranteed by the national security. The government will not deliberately ignore anyone just because they have more money and less money.
On the other hand, it also reflects that behind the principle of money supremacy, there is also the same supremacy of credit.
However, Mr. Mitch Friedman, the director of Lockheed Martin's Special Operations Division, encountered a rare government credibility crisis. He was unable to get things done after receiving money, and even refused to continue doing things after receiving money.
In order to be nothing more than a gold-plated operation, it should have successfully formed a deeper relationship with the U.S. Air Force, allowing Lockheed to obtain more Air Force orders and long-term benefits in the future, surrounded by other competitors.
But an accident happened, and Lockheed paid for it with the precious life of a family heir. Like other large conglomerates, regardless of branch or direct blood relatives, elite education and inheritance were carried out from an early age to ensure the family's interests and control.
The strength will not weaken, making each generation of young people extremely precious.
Larry Lockheed, who died this time, was an outstanding figure among this generation. He originally hoped to climb to a higher position in the U.S. Air Force and strive for continuous benefits for his family, but now he has died.
In the hands of a Chinese, there are no bones left. No one knows what happened at that time, and they can't recommend it. The damn Chinese are the best in the world at destroying corpses and eliminating traces. There is no way to infer the value from now.
Information.
Moreover, the Chinese are more cunning than anyone imagined. The pilot named "Gold Coin" was protected at all levels. The CIA's reckless actions were retaliated by the relevant Chinese departments, resulting in heavy losses. This price fell directly on Roxy.
On virtue.
For this reason, the current head of Lockheed, Marseille Lockheed, became furious.
Lockheed is not an old consortium family, and has even been ridiculed by other consortiums because of this matter. Rockefeller, Morgan, Citigroup, Boston, Mellon, Cleveland and other consortiums, even though some of them are good partners, are still in contact with each other.
This embarrassing incident of Lockheed was mentioned intentionally or unintentionally, which made the Lockheed people feel disgraced and ashamed.
The boss was very angry and the consequences were serious.
Mitch Friedman, the director of the Special Operations Division, felt that the shadow of firing had been hanging over him. Just like when he fired those poor unfortunates, he was packing up the odds and ends at his desk, and then took the money away from the finance department.
A check is then strictly scrutinized by security guards, kicked out of Lockheed's high-end office building, and then the house, car, and everything else are taken away. You will never be able to raise your head in the same industry again.
It is simply unimaginable to live a life that fell from heaven to hell in one fell swoop.
Lockheed does not have the foundation accumulated by the long time and hard work of generations of established conglomerates and families. The rule that a gentleman's revenge should not be later than ten years is meaningless to them. As a high-tech combat weapon design and manufacturing enterprise, time and efficiency are the first criteria, and Lockheed relies on these two points to occupy a place in the U.S. Air Force and Navy equipment departments. Although the naval ship technology has just started, it also has significant development potential in the future.
Like a wounded beast, Mitch Friedman slammed the paper in his hand on the table, but it did nothing except hurt his hand.
The government departments are no longer willing to participate in such retaliatory actions. The gain is not worth the loss. Obviously the target is not as easy to deal with as imagined, and the Chinese are obviously prepared. In recent times, the Chinese government has Military strength has increased significantly. Judging from several secret contests, the Americans cannot even rely on advanced equipment to gain the upper hand.
The confidential document sent to Lockheed Martin's Special Operations Division is full of warnings. Unless the United States wants to go to full-scale war with China, it is recommended that Lockheed should give up the unrealistic idea of continuing to retaliate.
On the one hand, it is the incompetence of powerful government departments, and on the other hand, it is the pressure from Lockheed’s top management. Director Mickey Friedman feels like a mouse is getting into the bellows, and he is being criticized by both sides. But he is not Mickey Mouse, even though he has the same name. , but he was unwilling to just sit back and wait until he was kicked out of this position and left this office building in despair as a loser.
"Michelle! Contact Lieutenant Colonel Joey for me. I hope he can have time to meet with me in the afternoon. Yes, at the same time, call Mozalievsky and ask him to come to my office. .”
"Yes! Mr. Friedman!" came the voice of Michelle, the special operations secretary, from the phone. Not every supervisor will have a female secretary. In fact, a male secretary can provide calmness at critical moments. And sane assistance.
After hesitating for a long time, Mitch Friedman finally made a decision for Lockheed and his own destiny.
"Mr. Friedman! Did you call me?" A middle-aged man with an unusually delicate mustache opened the door and entered the office. His eyes were uneasy under a pair of black-rimmed glasses. I messed up a job, and I have been extremely worried recently about being kicked out of the company by Mr. Mitch Friedman. You must know that it is not easy to find a job recently.
Everyone knows that Mickey Friedman doesn't like others to call him Mickey. He can only be called Mr. Mickey Friedman or Mr. Friedman. A little mouse named Mickey cannot perform any special actions. It's Disney's fault for trying to establish its own authority.
"Come in, Mozalievsky!" Supervisor Mitch Friedman's angry look before had long disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared, maintaining the composure that his subordinates could always see. Calm and wise, even when nuclear warheads were falling from the sky, he reached out to the sofa in front of the table and gestured, "Please sit down!"
For some unknown reason, he doesn't like to place two standard office chairs in front of the big class like others. He prefers that both his clients and subordinates can sit comfortably on the sofa and maintain a happy mood.
Talk to yourself, which may effectively improve communication efficiency.
"Yes, Mr. Friedman!" Mozalievsky was still a little nervous. He looked at the cold-faced supervisor, then walked to the sofa, groped for a while, and sat down.
"What do you want from me?" As an operational planning expert who was formerly in the KGB and received training from the CIA, Mozalievsky knew that his supervisor had been a bit angry recently. Out of professional habits, he began to analyze this situation in his mind.
A boss's mentality and respond quickly.
"Mozalievsky, you should be aware of the 'Foxhound' operation and the CIA's 'ATM' operation that you planned a while ago, right?" Mitch Friedman stood up and held his hand.
He handed several documents to him and said: "Although the plan was perfect, because the operation failed, even the combat equipment was lost. I know this is not your fault, it was an accident, but it not only dealt a big blow to us, but also to
The Pentagon and the CIA have also been hit hard. Now the Pentagon and the CIA are warning us that because of pressure not only from China, but even from Asia and other countries, they will no longer support us in subsequent actions and suspend the agreement.
, the action funds and sponsorship money we paid before will no longer be refunded, but we have paid so much and even gained nothing. This makes Chairman Marsu extremely dissatisfied. I hope you can continue to think of a way for me, and I must let Marsu
Chairman Su is satisfied, otherwise, you and I will have to get out together."
In fact, even Mitch Friedman didn't know that the reason why the Pentagon and CIA supported his action was not only because Lockheed had paid a huge price, but there were other reasons because of the failure of the action and the private actions of other countries' governments.
He had to give up because of his intervention. In the final analysis, Lockheed was just a bully being taken advantage of.
"I understand, Director Friedman, I will be able to plan a good plan."
"Don't worry, the last news from CIA is that the target may appear in the South China Sea, but we can't take action against them at all. We can only formulate a better plan first and deal with Chairman Marsu first.
Make full preparations. As for when to implement it, we will wait until we find an opportunity. Right now, we must save our jobs and don’t let the bosses know that we have done nothing so far. I think you should understand."
"Yes, I understand. I will definitely write down a detailed and complete plan." As the gold medal tactical operations planner of the Lockheed Special Operations Division, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. The supervisor came to blame him for the failure of the operation.
As a professional planner who has always planned various shadow operations for Lockheed, he has never felt that it would be so difficult to deal with one person. The repeated setbacks of perfectly designed operations really hurt his confidence.
If it had been another person, I'm afraid he would have died quietly for seventeen or eighteen times.
