But how to do this... still needs long-term consideration.
Thinking of this, Alan pulled the bell and told the servant who opened the door, "Go and call Ceylon and Little Stone over."
"OK!"
Hut watched Allen start to call people, and did not say anything. He just watched Allen, after giving instructions to the servants, stand up and start looking for documents.
…
Well, the information at home is still very complete. Alan took out a Gulf War profit report.
Uh... this is unlikely to be used. Although he made a small profit in the Gulf War with the Americans, he didn't make much. Compared with the United States, which makes hundreds of billions of dollars, the tens of millions of pounds he earned are not worth mentioning at all.
Before the war broke out, Allen ordered people to transport all the canned food that had been accumulated in Australia for a long time. He used his connections in the Navy Department and went the route of military supplies.
Kangaroo meat and canned rabbit meat are theoretically cheaper than beef.
But if he sells it at market price, why would he need to accumulate it for so long?
The money earned is military expenses!
…
How come canned kangaroo meat and rabbit meat are sold at a higher price than canned beef?
Of course, change the name!
Kangaroo meat cannot be called kangaroo meat. Instead, it should be called low-fat, crude fiber nutritious canned food. It is a specialty of Australia, specially designed for the physique of American babies and is very suitable for consumption by Anglo-Saxons!
Rabbit meat could no longer be called by its original name, but had to be changed to "microfiber, low-fat, easily digestible, nutritious canned food" with a whole host of features, such as "it won't make you fat, it won't make you gain weight, it tastes great and is nutritious," all printed on the packaging.
With this change, the ordinary canned meat that no one ate has been transformed into a high-end product, and the supply price has increased tenfold!
Among them, 40% of the total profit will be distributed to the people who help with the connections in the US and British military logistics procurement departments. Of the remaining 60%, another 10% will be distributed to the middleman who introduces the relationship and acts as a go-between, and the last 50% will belong to Allen.
But the profit is several times higher than that of selling canned food honestly!
Let’s put it this way, the money earned from selling canned food during the Gulf War was equivalent to Allen’s annual income.
…
And it was because of his involvement in logistics sales that he was able to obtain the document for total military expenditure reimbursement some time ago.
This kind of thing is considered confidential material for other countries or individuals, but for Boss Cha who has the right to know, this thing is something he can see whenever he wants. Once Boss Cha gets it, Alan can ask him for it.
Britain participated in the Gulf War and advanced approximately $4.1 billion, to which Allen also made a small contribution. During this period, after receiving "military expense reimbursement" from other countries, he was also able to receive a "subsidy."
If you do the math, selling canned food is more profitable than selling arms.
But his relationship was not that big, he could only be considered to be a small shareholder. Compared with those larger military-industrial groups, Allen's tens of millions of pounds were really just a drop in the bucket and not at all noticeable.
…
“Boom boom boom!”
Just after handing out the business documents, there was a knock on the study door. Alan motioned for Hut to open the door, while he put down the documents, picked out a few documents that might come in handy and put them on the desk.
Sitting down, picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, Alan glanced at Ceylon and Xiao Shitou, pointed to the chairs in front and asked them to sit down first. Then he threw the donation statistics sheet that Hutt had just given him to Ceylon and motioned her to take a look at it first.
…
Ceylon looked at the statistical data on the information, especially the amount of donations from the United States which was circled with a pen. She had probably guessed the purpose of Alan asking her to look at the information.
Recently, America has been feeling very proud because of its victory in the war and the beating up of Iraq with a group of younger brothers.
Specifically, it seems that they are everywhere. It is still a bipolar situation, but now America seems to have suddenly become the top, and Ame has become prominent in an instant.
He spoke more arrogantly and looked down on others.
As a result... many people are not happy with it. Now look what happened. Amei, who always talks about freedom and democracy, is only donating so little?
Even though the relationship between the two sides is very tense now, this is unacceptable!
You don’t even bother to put on a show, you don’t even bother pretending?
…
Knocking on the table, Allen looked at Ceylon expressionlessly and said, "When it comes to big talk, they are everywhere. Now it's time to do practical things. I have donated 5 million pounds and supplies of almost the same value. They have donated less than 1 million US dollars?"
Ceylon handed the document he had finished reading to Xiao Shitou next to him, nodded while listening to Alan's words, then looked at another document on the table and picked it up.
This information is the confidential war income information. With Ceylon's current level, she would not be able to see this kind of thing in the short term, but now that Allen has obtained it, she can see it...
Looking at this bill, after Ame fought a war, not only did domestic military enterprises make money, but after the war, not counting the spoils and reputation, they made tens of billions just from reimbursement of expenses. This...
What does tens of billions of dollars mean?
In this era, the total annual income of a smaller country does not reach tens of billions of dollars.
This is too exaggerated. No wonder when the Americans provoke trouble, there are so many responses. This is not just beating up Iraq, this is simply picking up money in sacks in the Middle East!
While making money, it can also boost the domestic economy, train troops, and expand international influence.
"Boss, what do you want?"
Ceylon hesitated for a moment and then asked.
Allen pointed at the information and said, "They are so rich, but they donated so little, not even as much as I did. I don't like them. I'm going to think of a way to expose this matter and teach them a lesson!"
…
Not everyone would dare to pour cold water on the popular Amei. At least after hearing what Allen said, Ceylon felt a pang in his heart.
Although strategically, people in Britain generally look down on Americans, the reality is that they do have money and their strength has indeed increased. The Gulf War is the best proof of this. After seeing the results of the war, the whole world was silent.
Now... my boss wants to do something ruthless to America at this moment, this...
"Boss, this is too conspicuous, let's..."
Ceylon could only comfort Alan in a very tactful tone, saying that this matter...cannot be rushed, and certainly not be said directly. Even though Alan is a noble, everyone knows the principle that the first bird to stick its head out gets shot.
…
"I know!"
Allen is not stupid. He certainly won't jump out with the information to expose America. With his current small body, if he is directly targeted, he will definitely be in trouble.
But...if he doesn't expose them, Alan will feel unhappy, so now...he has to find a way.
He cannot directly expose some of the other party's things, but he can secretly arrange for others to expose them. If someone else exposes America's deeds first, then he can stand up openly, stand on the moral high ground, and point fingers at them!
Thinking of this, Alan had a preliminary idea and tapped the table lightly again, signaling the other three people present.
…
"Well... Ceylon, you can arrange for someone to check. I remember that the BBC sent a war correspondent to Kuwait, right?"
"Yes, we sent someone over."
"Great! Are those reporters back now?"
Hearing Alan ask this, Ceylon thought about it for a little longer, and waited for a long time before hesitating and said: "They should not have returned yet. There are still a few left there to do follow-up reports."
…
"Okay! That's it."
Alan stroked a thread-bound book on the desk - "Journey to the West".
It is well known that America likes to study the "Thirty-Six Stratagems", and the outside world is not very clear about Allen's love for reading "Journey to the West". However, it is not a big problem. America has Thirty-Six Stratagems, and Allen also has Eighty-One Difficulties.
He learned this not to help himself overcome difficulties, but to use it to cause trouble for others.
Now, a mutated version of the Three Strikes on the White Bone Demon suddenly appeared in Alan's mind - the Three Strikes on America.
…
"Well... Little Stone, you help Ceylon, and you guys go down and make arrangements later..."
As the plan took shape, Alan slowly told his plans.
First, send someone to determine the location of the BBC war correspondent who is still in Kuwait, and then further determine the other party's specific location using their own identity.
Then they sent people to attack the reporter and steal his camera and materials.
There must be some explosive stuff in here. Even if not, Alan can take a photo of it for him.
That's a dozen.
Then he took this information and handed it over to the post-war reconstructing Kuwait, and found a younger Kuwaiti reporter to show him the information about the US military "accidentally injuring" Kuwaiti civilians.
Then……
With the help of Kuwaiti journalists, this information was exposed, and they could take advantage of the situation and mix in the war expense data as well.
This time...Alan didn't believe Kuwait could endure it.
They worked so hard to pay America to help them "restore their country", but in the end, the military expenses were reimbursed, and their own civilians were "accidentally injured?"
Who can stand this?
What to do if you can’t stand it? Make a scene!
…
Then they took advantage of the chaos to kill the Kuwaiti journalist who leaked the information, and pretended that it was the angry America who killed him.
This is the second dozen.
As for the third fight, that's easy.
Once the Kuwaiti journalist is killed, it will surely cause public outrage, and the news will become a big deal. I believe that by then, anyone who is dissatisfied with America will have to stand up and say something.
At this time, Allen can make a shining appearance and accuse the United States of harming innocent civilians when it earns so much from military spending, and even being stingy to donate only such a small amount of money when other parts of the world need help?
Is the "idol burden" that the Americans have worked so hard to establish going to collapse this time?
The whole plan, one set after another, was all done to generate public opinion. Allen was not the obvious leader. He only needed to stand up and say a few words at the right time to set the pace. In this way, the target seemed small.
The hatred will not be too great.
Once the pace is set, other media will surely follow suit and criticize America. Who can't say something about it?
We cannot say it at normal times, but now that America has made its own mistakes and has been caught, why not seize the opportunity to say a few more words about them?
…
Ceylon pursed his lips as he looked at Alan who had finished talking about his plan, then turned his head and looked at the little stone beside him.
The boss's plan is very bold, but highly feasible!
Kuwait is now in the post-war reconstruction period and it is a mess!
As long as there is chaos, it will be convenient to do things. Besides, Ceylon knows Xiao Shitou to some extent. Although he is tall and even looks a bit honest, he can be Alan's servant. Anyone who treats him as a fool will definitely suffer. Since doing such dirty work requires his personal cooperation, then there is no problem.
Anyway, all the participants will be eliminated in the end, so safety is guaranteed.
As for the two journalists who died unjustly, although they are dead, they can leave their names behind after their death. Isn’t this the highest honor for a journalist?
"Okay, boss. Then let's plan it out when we get back, and then execute it as soon as possible?"
"Well, Xiao Shitou, pick some clean hands and go over there. I'll be waiting for your good news!"
"I understand Master!"
…
Early August 1991.
A cruise ship sailing from Germany to Gambia. There were several big men in black standing on the deck, and these big men in black were surrounding two people in the middle.
One of them was a middle-aged man who looked not young. He had a face that looked fierce and hawk-like. But despite his fierce face, he had to pretend to be kind at this moment, which looked a little strange.
Next to him stood a curly-haired mixed-race kid. His face was interesting, and he looked quite shrewd.
…
"Mr. Chekov, we are almost there. Look, we are almost in Gambia."
Chikli rubbed his hands and spoke to the middle-aged man in a servile manner.
Chikli had brought his people to Gambia some time ago, but it was most likely that the other party came to investigate in advance. Not long after they returned, a few people were replaced and they brought him to continue the investigation.
These people were contacted through his friend who sold Tetris.
It was not him who contacted these people, but they who contacted him.
Chikli thought that they had secretly sold the copyrights and did it perfectly, but in fact, their every move had been watched by someone behind their backs.
The other party originally planned to play the long game and catch the big fish. After the two of them completed the copyright transaction and got the money, they would kill the donkey and take advantage of the situation. However, after seeing Chikli's connections, the other party changed their mind. In the end, not only did they not touch their money, but they sent someone to contact him.
He didn't mention his specific identity, he just tried to find out things from him in a roundabout way.
Although Chikli couldn't tell the identities of these people, their temperament gave him a very weird feeling as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake every time he came into contact with them. This was a more sinister feeling than when he first met Allen.
That gentleman usually looks amiable, and only becomes scary when he is angry. But these people are different. They are always vicious, and they have guns!
Think about it, in that place, those who have guns are not ordinary people!
This time too, the other party directly invited him to come over, and he was able to take the route through East Germany, travel all the way to Germany by land, and then take the sea route.
