The day after the Black Isle meeting, Silver Wolf Michelle flew nonstop to Arlington County, Virginia. There is a very famous building here - the Pentagon.

After verifying the identity information, Silver Wolf Michelle was taken to the second-floor basement in the building. Soon a person met him, a soldier in his fifties, wearing a military uniform but glasses, exuding a bookish air.

"Nice to meet you." The man held out his hand. "I'm Lannis, Brigadier General. You should be the head of the Black Isle Company."

"Yes, I'm Michelle Wolf. The head of the Black Island Military Company." Silver Wolf nodded.

Lannis nodded, "I've heard the name for a long time. Everything about Mr. Michelle is almost a modern legend. So I'm curious, how did this mission end in failure?" Straight to the point. It can be seen that his character is not as gentle as his appearance. "

Silver Wolf shook his head, "If the mission fails this time, it is a failure, and there is no suitable excuse. And I also think that excuses are not enough to cover up failure. If you really need reasons, I can tell you a lot. For example, your side The information provided is obviously inaccurate, and my operation team was attacked in the middle, which means that someone knew the time and content of this operation in advance.

But these are meaningless. We are a commercial company, and everything is based on performance. Therefore, I can only express regret for this failure, and do not want to make too many excuses. "

"Hahaha, the silver wolf is really still the silver wolf. Actually, I also understand that it is difficult to see your strength clearly from the quests, so what if they are completed? But I still appreciate your attitude. You are very calm, without the slightest panic and avoidance, which shows that you have great confidence." Lannis shrugged, "I like people with this attitude. Then, Michel Sir, why are you here today?"

"Apologize for this mission," Silver Wolf Michelle replied. "It's a matter of attitude towards customers. We didn't provide the corresponding help and solve the trouble, so I think it's necessary to apologize."

Lannis was silent for a while and said, "Mr. Michelle, I don't know if you believe it or not, our mission this time is actually just a test."

"Try?" Michelle frowned.

"Yes. We want to prove whether your Black Isle company has enough ability and qualifications to complete the task we have given. Because we promised the general, we will give you a chance." Lannes said.

"We are already qualified for defense contracting, there is no doubt about that." Silver Wolf replied.

"I understand, I totally understand what you mean. But you have to understand what I mean. The so-called defense contractor qualification is just a ticket to a concert, and we are talking about VIP seats. Do you know the difference?" Lannes smiled slightly. "We have cooperation with a lot of defense contractors. But most of the cooperation is only shallow, and there are not many really deep cooperations."

"Like what?" Yinlang's eyes flashed.

“The U.S. military is currently the most reliant on private contractors in the world. According to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, since 2000, more than 60 percent of the Defense Department’s annual funding has been paid to contractors.

In addition to completing the most basic military duties, the current US soldiers outsource all the large and small tasks in the military. From the development and manufacture of military supplies and weapons to the logistics services related to food, drink and Lazard, private contractors are everywhere. Even transportation and food companies are defense contractors. "Lannis shrugged and smiled. "This is what I call shallow cooperation. The reason why we like business outsourcing so much is mainly because it can reduce costs and improve efficiency. "

"What about the high-level ones?" Silver Wolf also responded with a smile.

"In 2015, the five companies with the largest number of US military orders were Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon, General Dynamics and Grumman. They are also the world's largest arms manufacturers. Only these five companies are in The amount of military orders received this year accounted for one-third of the outsourcing expenditure of the Department of Defense." Lannis shrugged, "Please note, this is hundreds of billions of dollars."

Silver Wolf nodded, "I totally believe it, because I have a pretty good relationship with several of these companies."

"This is the deep level." Lannis smiled slightly, "After the 9/11 incident, the outsourcing of the US military has exploded, especially service business. The service contractors we call are not just undertaking Logistic roles such as cooks and construction workers, or engineer roles that provide equipment maintenance and technical support.

Instead, he took up arms and started acting as an agent, including military training, intelligence gathering, and even some defense operations. In modern countries, these businesses can generally only be undertaken by government troops. For example, in Iraq, the biggest beneficiaries of security contracts are Blackwater, Dane International, Sanpeng and other companies. They have undertaken tasks including training soldiers, camp security~www.wuxiahere.com~ and even interrogation and intelligence collection. directly into battle.

This is what the general wants for you, deep cooperation. "

Silver Wolf looked at Lannis and nodded calmly, "I understand. This is the VIP seat you said."

"Yeah. That previous mission was a joke, because I don't think you guys can't even do something like that. Listen Michelle, I talked to the general, and we both want Black Isle to actually get in. This circle. Rather than being limited to the outside world. I've also heard some small frictions between you and the management board. Trust me, that won't matter.

Even Lewis, he had to act in the eyes of others. And have no guts to fight the Pentagon's decision, because we are the biggest customer, and the customer is God. This is the rule of thumb in the world. "Lannis sighed.

"So what do we need to do to enter this circle?" said Silver Wolf Michelle.

"First you have to think, then you have to do something that pleases us. Next, I will offer you some contracts from time to time. Of course not the public one, you have to do it well to impress the military on your capabilities. Profound. The relationship of trust is formed gradually, and once formed, it is difficult to break. The general is such an example." Lannis smiled slightly, "Otherwise, how could the Morningstar company suddenly rise?"

Silver Wolf Michelle frowned, "But we failed this mission, why did you choose to help me?"

"Because I help people who deserve it, it's like an investment. If I help you, then you owe me a favor." Lannis smiled slightly. "Maybe when I retire from the military, I can find a position in your company."
