What is the nature of the beautiful country's army?
Chen Luo was very clear about this.
He was definitely not as incorruptible as the public had publicized.
If they were not greedy for money, they would have seen a ghost.
As long as they had the chance, they wouldn't lose to Guo Jun.
And it was even worse.
For decades, Beauty Nation's military expenditure had always been the highest in the world. In 2016, Beauty Nation's military expenditure was as high as 622.035 billion. Where did so much money go?
Many people thought that this was to give high-end weapons such as next-powered aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, and stealth fighter jets. However, that was not the case.
However, in places where ordinary people couldn't see, the spendthrift of Beauty Country was equally shocking.
Their Air Force had to budget at least $56,000 a year to buy cups.
In 2016, the price of 9630 US dollars was listed and 10 cups were purchased. The price of each cup was as high as 963 US dollars. However, by 2018, the price had risen to 1220 US dollars.
A cup could be worth 963 dollars. If this wasn't a joke, what was?
Barton admitted that he couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he saw so much wealth.
"General Barton!"
Chen Luo smiled and slowly said,""Let me introduce myself. My name is Chen Luo, the chairman of the Eternal Group. I belong to the Christian family!”
Barton took a deep breath, but his eyes couldn't move away from this batch of gold.
It was simply too much!
Fifty gold bars, including the one he gave him previously.
Fifty-one gold bars.
Close to 192 ounces.
One hundred and thirty-four thousand dollars!
This was the 1950s, so this was definitely a huge sum of money.
And now, Chen Luo was directly placed in front of him.
First of all, there were a total of ten ranks in the US military, from the lowest rank of second lieutenant to the highest rank of four-star general. Five-star general could only be awarded in major wars.
As for the treatment, using the exchange rate between the US dollar and the RMB in 2017, the monthly salary of a Brigadier General in Beauty Country was 55000 RMB, while the monthly salary of a four-star General in Beauty Country was close to 100,000 RMB. Chen Luo's offer was equivalent to throwing out more than 600,000 RMB. If this was in 2017, it would naturally be insignificant. However, it was now 1950.
MacArthur's annual income should include a salary of 3500 USD and a combat allowance of 2500 USD. In total, MacArthur's annual income was $6000.
Of course, 6,000 dollars was definitely not a small amount.
With this income, he could still buy a villa in California or Nevada.
Barton was now a four-star general. For Barton, his annual income was about 4,000 dollars.
One had to know that even though the Bretton Woods system was now clear, the US dollar was still not overissued or indiscriminately issued. The current US dollar was a veritable US dollar that could be used to exchange for gold.
134,000 dollars. How many years would he have to earn to get this money?
"General Barton, can we sit down and talk?”A faint smile appeared on Chen Luo's face, but he was calm and composed.
He knew Barton was tempted.
Barton took a deep breath, looked up at Chen Luo and slowly said,""Mr. Chen Luo, you're really bold. You're bribing me!”
"Bribe?"
Chen Luo smiled and shrugged his shoulders lightly. He said indifferently,""This is my political contribution, General. It has nothing to do with bribery!”
Barton gritted his teeth and looked at Chen Luo."Then, Mr. Chen Luo, what do you want?”
"General Barton, don't worry!”
Chen Luo smiled and walked up to Barton. He poured him a cup of coffee and slowly said,""General Barton, don't worry. I won't let you do anything that will threaten your position!“
As he spoke, Chen Luo slowly said,""I just want to do some business!”
Barton looked at Chen Luo curiously.""What business?"
"A plane from Japan!" Chen Luo did not hide his thoughts.""I have a buyer who has always wanted to buy some planes. I see that there are still many Type Zero fighters on the island. General Barton, do you think I can move these planes away?”
Although he did not mention the buyer's name.
However, Barton instantly reacted.
Chen Luo was trying to sell the Type Zero fighter jets to the mainland.
Huh?
Barton suddenly felt that this was not a problem at all. There was a lot of food and war supplies in Japan, but in the eyes of the real industrial power, the beautiful country, these were all a bunch of scrap metal. They were not worth mentioning at all. Otherwise, the last time Chen Luo came, he took a lot of military supplies. They would not have cared.
The plane was still more important!
However, as long as Barton turned a blind eye, Chen Luo could still transport the plane out.
After all, these things were scrap metal, and they would only be exposed to the sun in Japan.
"This one!" Barton fell into deep thought.
"I did a rough investigation!" Chen Luo smiled and slowly said,""There are a total of 432 planes on this island. If General Barton allows me to transport them, one plane and one gold bar!”
At this point, Chen Luo laughed."General Barton, these planes are just scrap metal in Japan. Since they are scrap metal, why don't you exchange them for gold? These 50 gold bars are my gift to General Barton!“
"This is indeed a good idea!”Barton muttered to himself. He was a soldier, so he was straightforward.
More than 400 gold bars.
1.04 million USD.
Barton had to admit that he was really tempted.
Chen Luo looked at Barton calmly. Before he came into contact with Barton, Chen Luo had already investigated this guy. There had been more than ten rapes in Japan, and each time, it was not settled. Barton himself was a drunkard and lecherous. Only he knew how many things he had done in secret.
Taking the risk to look for Barton, Chen Luo was sure that he would definitely take his gold bars and allow him to transport the plane away.
"If only I had so much money!”" It doesn't match my actual income," Barton said slowly." If the Federation comes to investigate me, what should I do?"”
Chen Luo smiled and did not refuse.
This meant that there was a chance!
Chen Luo smiled.""Actually, this is very simple!"
