Chapter 133 Private Armed Base

Milo said no, but he was actually just trying to lower the price.

Just like when the Oilers faced his rise, most people thought of winning him over and showing goodwill.

Even if Milo has the support of the Anglo-Saxon bosses, he will not make the Oilers feel that he hates the Oilers as soon as he shows up.

He would make the Oilers think that he was suppressing the Pulitzer family just to gain control of the Pulitzer Company.

It is fair business competition.

Just like he targeted Giuliani, not because Giuliani was a Democrat or Italian.

It's because Milo wants control of the New York gangs and the New York unions.

But within the Anglo-Saxons, he is like a pioneer, expanding the voice of the American upper three flags in various fields.

Milo did not even tell them this, even his grandfather and father.

This is the news about America that he has read since his rebirth, combined with the news he had read in his previous life.

He came up with his own idea of ​​his own position in the American upper class.

He will be a super rookie in the eyes of the old Ansa, who can suppress the Oilers and other forces to a certain extent.

A knife that belongs to you.

It is this knife that sometimes goes crazy and messes up the other vitality-less Ansa Group.

He will be seen by the Oilers as an Anglo-Saxon rookie who is a heretic and worth recruiting.

In the eyes of other forces, he will also appear to be an Anglo-Saxon newcomer who is worthy of allegiance, unlike the old Anglo-Saxons who despise others.

A catfish, a catfish of the American upper class.

As for ordinary people...

Sorry, America's upper class doesn't care what ordinary people think.

Just like the Western Jin Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, they did not care about the opinions of others besides the gentry.

Like this time, because of Milo.

In just a few days in New York, hundreds of gangsters and innocent people died.

Did anyone in New York's upper class, or even the entire American upper class, care? No, they would only laugh at Milo, a "fool", for spending so much money just to get rid of such a small number of people.

That's terrible.

So in the end, Milo still spent $150 million.

Obtained 23% of Pulitzer Company from Michael Pulitzer.

This way, his shares will reach 53%, and he will have the final say in Pulitzer Company from now on.

The Pulitzer family originally controlled the Columbia University board of directors.

Naturally, it fell on Milo.

Milo Blackburn is now:

Chairman of Paladin Media Group, Paladin Investment Group, United Global Corporation and other companies.

He is also a trustee of Columbia University and Harvard University.

Besides that, he is already one of the masters of the New York underworld.

He is the behind-the-scenes financier of several unions in New York.

With so many people, if we stay in a hotel, one room probably won’t be enough.

At lunch time, Monica, the life assistant, opened the door of Milo's office with a sumptuous lunch.

The Italian national treasure-level beauty has no complaints about the life of serving her boss.

But she would be happier if the boss could take his hands away.

"Boss, it's time for lunch."

Milo looked at Monica, who buried her face in his arms, her body trembling slightly and her tone of voice changing.

Hey, we've been together for so long.

He already knew her excitement zone clearly.

When she was working as a secretary, she liked to look very dignified and elegant.

This made Milo particularly fond of touching her while she was working.

Stopping today's little mischief, Milo reached out for a tissue to wipe his fingers, patted her buttocks, and said, "Eat!"

"Get ready and go back to Los Angeles the day after tomorrow. We'll have to wait until June or July to come back to New York." Milo picked up a piece of freshly cut beef with a fork and put it into his mouth, speaking while chewing.

"Okay, boss." Monica rubbed her legs together. They were too wet and sticky, very uncomfortable.

But he didn't change it for himself.

Monica had no choice but to lower her head and eat the beef in small bites. She was too tired to complain about her boss's bad taste of always playing tricks on her while she was working.

But she was also delighted by this, perhaps even because Milo liked to do this to her when she was demure.

So when she was working, she looked more dignified.

They worked until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and Monica pushed the door open to remind Milo that it was almost time.

He has a schedule later and can't stay in the company.

Milo saved the file, took the USB drive and put it in his bag.

In a parallel universe, the USB flash drive was first invented by a Chinese named Lu Zhengbin, and it quickly became popular around the world.

However, USB flash drives do not have much technical difficulty.

It is based on the existence of Flash Memory and related USB transmission technology.

Flash memory technology has been around for a long time.

The plug-and-play memory used in computers today uses flash memory technology.

The USB interface began to become popular in 1994.

Both technologies are mature.

A few months ago, Milo felt the inconvenience of storing content on floppy disks during this period.

He thought of the USB flash drive, and then proposed his idea to a Silicon Valley hardware company in which he had invested.

The company easily produced the earliest USB flash drive product in just over two months.

It is expected to be launched on a large scale in October this year.

Milo is currently using this company's experimental product.

In the office, Milo stood up, took the suit Monica handed him and put it on.

"Just ask Megan to send tomorrow's briefing to my email."

Milo leaned forward slightly to make it easier for Monica to tie her tie.

"Okay, boss." Feeling the boss's breath, Monica's delicate body trembled slightly, and her white teeth gently bit her lips.

Because this guy put his hand into her arms again.

Rub gently and twist slowly.

“…”

Monica couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief after watching Milo's figure disappear around the corner of the corridor.

She trotted open the door of the boss' office, grabbed her black dildo at the corner of the boss' chair, and walked quickly into the bathroom.

The boss didn't need her on his next trip, so Monica could finally take a break.

…

…

On the top of the building, Milo looked at a Bell 214 helicopter in front of him.

The Bell 214 helicopter is a medium-sized general-purpose helicopter developed by Bell Helicopter Company based on the military UH-1H general-purpose helicopter.

There are 16 seats in total, with a range of up to 750 kilometers and a maximum speed of 296 kilometers per hour.

This is a private helicopter that Milo recently purchased. Without modification, it only costs two million US dollars.

His plane has been modified to provide some comfort and is priced at three million US dollars.

In addition to the helicopter, he also bought a Boeing 737-500 private jet.

Never mind whether Boeing’s future employees will be busy all day and won’t even be able to tighten a screw, causing Boeing to go from bad to worse.

It is now 1996. Boeing aircraft have experienced the baptism of the Cold War, and most of the technical workers and engineers are elites around 30-40 years old.

It can be said that at this time, Boeing is the best aviation and aerospace company in the world.

No doubt about it.

The Boeing 737-500 is a medium-sized narrow-body aircraft and is also one of the smaller ones in the 737 series.

It is about the same size and dimensions as the already famous Gulfstream IV, and even the price is almost the same.

Both are around 20 million US dollars, with the Gulfstream being slightly more expensive at over 1 million US dollars.

But in the end, Milo chose the Boeing 737-500.

There are two reasons. One is that the Boeing 737 series has common parts. As of this year, more than 5,000 have been produced worldwide.

This thing is like a car. The more you sell, the cheaper it is to repair and the more reliable its performance is.

It can be said to be a trustworthy old product.

Unlike the Gulfstream IV, which has just been updated, the production quantity is less than 100.

The most important thing is that big companies are big companies after all. Boeing 737-500 is in stock and only needs a little modification to be used as a personal business jet.

Unlike the Gulfstream IV, unless you buy it second hand.

Otherwise, it would take at least one and a half years from placing an order to receiving the product.

After placing an order for the 737-500, it will take three to five months to receive the goods.

These three to five months also include the time required for personal modifications and luxurious interior decoration.

A private plane and a helicopter cost Milo nearly 26 million US dollars.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The main reason is that the 737-500 is relatively small. The aircraft itself is worth 20 million, plus the modification cost about 2 million.

If it were a 747 or 748, the price would be outrageous.

In the short term, Milo felt that one 737-500 was sufficient.

After getting on the helicopter, Milo closed his eyes for more than ten seconds.

Then he opened his eyes and said to David and Kenny, who were not surprised by this: "Let's go."

The interior space of the helicopter is large enough to accommodate 12 passengers. Because it is a true VVIP level, the interior is extremely luxurious, from the display screens on the back of the seats, cockpit handles, and vents to the seat belt buckles, entertainment facility buttons, and safety warning signs, all are gold-plated.

The glass on both sides of the cabin can be adjusted in color. This high-tech configuration is rare in helicopters. When the helicopter is flying, the color of the glass can be adjusted according to the intensity of light outside the cabin until the best viewing effect is achieved.

As a master pilot, Kenny personally flew the helicopter north.

Before the sun set, the helicopter arrived in Dutchess County, New York.

The helicopter hovered and slowly landed on the helipad at the Lavender Ranch in Dutchess County.

Milo walked out of the cabin and smiled when he saw Wendy and her group waiting in the distance on the tarmac.

“…Lavender Ranch covers 2,400 acres, about an hour and a half drive north of Manhattan and less than nine miles from the upscale village of Dutchess. According to the information we have, it is the largest private land currently for sale in Dutchess County.”

"It has a lavender field of more than 300 acres inside, and it used to provide lavender materials for a perfume company in New York, so it is named Lavender Ranch."

"But in fact, the previous owner had always used this place as his equestrian estate and horse breeding base. It has all the facilities needed to raise and train purebred racehorses - barns, fenced paddocks, staff dormitories, etc., and other places are very deserted."

"The current offer is $120 million."

After getting off the helicopter, Milo and his group walked forward accompanied by Wendy, Shabtai and others.

As they walked, Chief Advisor Shabote introduced Milo to the land they were standing on.

This is a ranch with an area of ​​2,400 acres of land, which is nothing compared to the tens of thousands of acres in California and Texas, or the millions of acres in Montana and Colorado.

But remember, this is New York State.

The largest economy in the United States.

And it takes less than an hour and a half to drive to New York City from where they are standing.

If you take a helicopter, it will take less than half an hour.

The land prices are totally incomparable to those of farms in Texas and California.

Of course, not to mention remote inland states like Montana and Colorado.

Some people may have some misunderstandings about New York State because of Manhattan.

But in reality, New York State has 58,000 farms and ranches, and 34% of the land is used for agriculture and animal husbandry.

This is one of the most densely populated areas in the United States, with a great demand for milk. It is a dairy livestock area, and the farms mainly grow forage grass and raise dairy cows. Its milk production ranks first among all states.

In addition, the production of vegetables, watermelons, sweet cherries, sour cherries, pears, and maple syrup are all the highest among all states.

Grape production is second only to California, apple production is second only to Washington State, and the broiler industry is very developed.

Food crops include wheat and corn.

The agricultural population is small and agricultural income accounts for only a very small part of the state's economic income, but agricultural output ranks among the top in the United States.

In this place, $120 million can only buy this much land.

Of course, if you're willing to go to places like Montana, Colorado, or Texas, that money could probably buy hundreds of thousands of acres of land.

"…Land is undoubtedly the most suitable investment project at any time. Boss, if you buy this place, you only need to invest another 10 million US dollars. This can become an excellent farm with an annual output of more than 5 million US dollars."

Shabote introduced the place in one breath.

Then in the sunset, he saw his boss nod.

"Let's take a walk and have a look before it gets dark."

Shabote nodded, and a group of people got on several off-road vehicles and started to wander around the ranch.

The convoy reached a remote mountainous area far away from the main ranch and farm areas.

Shabote saw his boss’ car stop in front.

Then David and Kenny got out first, and then the boss followed.

Shabotet hurried out of the car in case his boss needed to consult him.

The chief business advisor hasn't walked over yet.

He heard Kenny pointing forward and looking up at his boss and saying:

"Boss, the valley between the two mountains and the large plain in front are very suitable for building a training base. You can build a new villa on this platform and hillside next to the valley with the small lake. After all, the scenery here is picturesque and it is very closed and safe."

"We only need to build a few towers on the periphery and install high-power searchlights so that we can defend at night. If we install a few fully automatic machine guns, as long as there is any movement, the security forces will be able to react quickly and strangle the invading enemy."

"It's definitely not the case that a group of a dozen people can sneak in easily. If there are not dozens of people holding large weapons, let alone getting in, they can be shot down in just a few shots.

We can also install peripheral infrared and range thermal sensors and hidden cameras on the farm.

By the way, there is a freight terminal on the east side, close to the sea. It was used by the farm to load goods and send them to New York. It is rather simple.

We can modify it, expand its range, add a few more armed speedboats to patrol outside, and set up an underwater channel underwater to reserve a submarine berth.

When things are impossible, boss, you can choose to go through the underground passage and leave by submarine.

Of course, if you buy a yacht in the future and want to come here to play, this pier can also be used as the yacht's home port."

When Shabote and the other two business consultants heard Kenny's introduction, veins on their foreheads throbbed, black lines appeared on their foreheads, and they were speechless due to the disgusting feeling.

What made the business consultants even more speechless was that their boss had an extremely serious expression on his face and nodded in agreement solemnly, as if Kenny's design pleased him deeply.

"Here... we can dig out a platform on the hillside to make a helicopter platform, and build a few missile defense systems on the mountain..."

Milo also asked: "Can we just build an airport?"

"What about the airport? To meet the minimum requirement of taking off your Boeing 737-500, the runway usually needs to be about 2,500 meters long. Add in the area occupied by the terminal building, apron, taxiway, oil depot, maintenance workshop, etc., and a small airport will occupy an area of ​​more than three square kilometers."

"If you want to take off large aircraft such as 747, the airport will need to cover an area of ​​more than five square kilometers. If you want to operate some military aircraft, you will need a larger apron and more runways."

"The area is not enough. Unless it is a micro-airport that only accepts small aircraft, it is too narrow."

"Ahem..." Shabote really couldn't bear to listen any more.

He felt that these two people wanted to use the farm as a US military base.

The United States mainland has never been baptized by war.

Well, except for the bombing of the Black Panther community.

However, Shabotet had no idea that a few years later, the Twin Towers in the heart of Manhattan would be attacked by KB.

"Are you okay?" Milo thought Shabote was choked by the strong wind and interrupted the security discussion with Kenny.

This farm is close to the sea and it is very windy in the evening.

Seeing Shabote waving his hands with a bitter expression and touching his chin, Milo patted Kenny on the shoulder and said with an extremely relieved tone: "That's it! Buy it!"

He said the latter sentence to Shabote.

This is also the reason why he ran from Manhattan to Dutchess County at this time.

Buy a place that is large enough to accommodate the United Global Security Company, which has more than 300 people.

But when he first told Shabote, he said he wanted to buy a large farm in New York State.

Therefore, the information collected by Shabote is all related to business.

Kenny had already brought people to see this place in advance.

This made Kenny look confident when he introduced the possible future security arrangements here to Milo.

After taking a quick look and listening to Kenny's brief introduction, Milo was very satisfied.

It just feels a bit small, only 2,400 acres, less than 10 square kilometers.

They can't even build a proper airport.

Not to mention wanting to turn this place into the super-armed farm he imagined.
