Capítulo 1384: Chapter 478: The Impact of the Drastic Shift in the Battle Situation (Part 2)
“The United States Logistics is ostensibly a logistics transportation company, but in reality, it’s now the largest rcenary army in the world. As far as I’m aware, within the United States Logistics, they divide the transport personnel into two parts. One part consists of those who have families and careers, normal transport workers. However, the other part comprises Aricans who have no hos to go back to, retired soldiers, or soldiers suffering from war syndro. These individuals have been baptized by war, and their combat power is unquestionably strong.”
Salazar couldn’t help but ask: “But even so, his rcenary army can only amount to one or two thousand people at most, right?”
Carmona chuckled and said: “Then you truly underestimate Donnie Block.”
Salazar showed a surprised expression. If he were in a position high up in the United States, even if Donnie had a great relationship with him and there were huge mutual interests between them, it would be impossible to allow Donnie to have too many private forces!
Carmona then explained to Salazar: “Within the United States, the number is roughly this, but what about outside the United States?
As far as I know, the major mariti shipping routes have seen a significant reduction in pirate activities compared to previous years. You must understand, these pirates don’t simply disappear on their own.
Not only that, but the frequency of wars breaking out in Africa is also increasing. I suspect these events are directly related to Donnie’s rcenary army!”
Salazar’s surprised expression beca even more pronounced, “The United States allows him to do this, but people from other countries shouldn’t allow it either!”
“Ha! Ha!” Carmona sneered and said: “Why wouldn’t the United States allow it? These events are not occurring within the United States, and if Donnie’s rcenary army can control the major mariti routes, it would be imnsely beneficial for the United States’ international trade. They can achieve intimidation without suffering losses. If I were the President of the United States, I would even arrange for the navy to secretly assist Donnie.
As for other countries… they may want to oppose, but what position do they have to oppose?
These are pirate matters, unclaid by any nation, and Donnie’s rcenaries have not revealed their identities.
Most importantly, if Donnie truly controls these sea routes, then the rchant ships and passenger boats of these countries need to pass through, wouldn’t opposition jeopardize their passage?
You should know, if those countries had the capability to control these straits, piracy wouldn’t exist!”
Salazar couldn’t help but ask: “Does this an Donnie’s influence can already compare with that of a nation?”
Carmona shook his head helplessly and said: “Outsiders all say the Rothschild family is the family empire of Europe, soon, the world may gain another family empire!”
Salazar stated: “If it’s as Mr. President described, then Donnie’s rcenary army must number two or three thousand people, and including their weapon expenses and daily living costs, their annual expenditure must exceed US dollars!
I admit to Donnie’s wealth, but I still can’t believe he can sustain such expenses!”
Carmona shook his head slightly; Salazar ultimately hasn’t grown up within the army, so he can’t comprehend these matters.
“First, you need to understand a principle, the expenses you ntioned are at most when this rcenary force was just established. Once it’s ford, they’re entirely self-sufficient. When they control mariti routes, passing ships need to pay a fee, which sustains their daily consumption.
Additionally, to control a sea area, they need a base. Within this base, though not a country in the broad sense, the people there are absolutely under their control. Do you think they wouldn’t do anything about it?
The situation in Africa is similar; although impoverished, its natural resources are rich, and most importantly, human life there is worthless!”
For a mont, Salazar didn’t know how to respond to Carmona’s words.
At this point, Carmona’s secretary approached.
Carrying a briefcase, without waiting for Carmona to ask, the secretary took out so photos from the bag and said: “According to the Military Departnt’s received intelligence, just two days ago, Aguirre, Scovar equipped these newly modern tanks that haven’t been publicly displayed in any country. These tanks’ paraters far surpass current main battle tanks of various nations.
It’s already confird that these tanks are powerful, unmatchable by existing tanks!”
Carmona picked up the photos and paraters sent by the secretary on the desk.
The tanks in the photos were vastly different from the United States-made M2 tanks, especially in the design of the barrel…
“These tanks seed to suddenly be equipped by Aguirre, Scovar’s forces, and the quantity is staggering. In just two days, they recaptured territory previously seized by the governnt forces.”
The secretary continued.
“Powerful and plentiful, just these two aspects are sufficient!”
Carmona smiled bitterly and said: “No need to ask, these tanks should be products of Ares Arsenal, right?”
The secretary replied: “That’s unknown, Aguirre, Scovar haven’t released any information.”
“What possible information could there be?” Carmona said with a bitter smile: “No matter what they say, Donnie will deny it, and at this point, they dare not offend Donnie further.”
At this point, Carmona turned to Salazar and said: “Salazar, from now on, our diplomatic relations with xico may need to beco tighter!”
Salazar asked: “Mr. President, do you an Aguirre, Escovar’s rebel forces are succeeding?”
Pausing for a mont, Salazar continued: “No matter how powerful the weapons are, in my opinion, this is temporary. As long as Calles gets through this period, I believe the governnt forces, with their powerful advantage, will be able to reverse the situation!”
Carmona waved his hands and said: “It’s not that simple; first there was the AK47, now new tanks; are you sure Ares Arsenal only has these two types of weapons?”
Salazar was montarily at a loss for how to reply.
“There are other reasons too!” Carmona said: “During peaceful tis in xico, Calles’s rule isn’t problematic, but once a rebellion occurs, like now, his rule is threatened. Those xican troop alliances that seem aligned but act diffrently might follow suit, increasing Calles’s pressure. In such circumstances, for Calles to solidify his governance, he needs weapons like those of Aguirre and Escovar, only with overwhelming strength can his position be secure.
Currently, such weapons are only available from Donnie’s Ares Arsenal, so Calles can only seek cooperation with Donnie, hoping to gain his forgiveness.
Under these circumstances, whether Aguirre, Escovar’s rebels win, or Calles’s governnt forces win, ultimately they must listen to Donnie!”
Salazar finally understood the real reason.
“Then, eventually, wouldn’t xico beco Donnie Block’s backyard?”
Carmona didn’t answer Salazar’s question, instead saying: “Go invite Donnie to co here, and say I’ve agreed to his proposal!”
