Chapter 274: Mawi Becomes Afghan Anti-Terrorist War Contractor

When I arrived at the battlefield in Afghanistan, I airborne a group of Russian soldiers. The terrain was not familiar with and the language could not be communicated. Then I saw everyone like a terrorist. In the end, I must be blind and killed by the enemy hiding in the crowd.

It would be better to just blow up wherever there is any movement. In this way, the number of casualties of the Russian army will not be higher than the sky like in the previous life.

The Russian army's excellent troops, which had invested millions of people, attacked Afghanistan for 10 years, and finally killed 26,000 people! (The data reported by Russia includes those who were injured later, but do not include missing persons) If the number of missing persons is included, at least more than 30,000 people are included.

"Mr. Mawei, thank you very much for your valuable advice!" General Kuridov, commander-in-chief of the Afghan operation, sincerely thanked Mawei.

Even after thanking him, General Kuridov invited Mawei to participate in the next military operation. Together with these generals, he paid attention to the situation in Afghanistan at the command center, so as not to have any unexpected situations, someone could provide timely advice.

"Mr. Mavie, although you are not my Russian soldier, I want to invite you now as one of our staff to assist the Russian soldiers in fighting this battle. Do you think you are willing?" General Kuridov asked Mavie seriously.

Compared to any rules and regulations, that is not the most important thing. The key is to fight this anti-terrorism battle well and beautifully.

Besides, with Mawei's current status, he just wants to avoid suspicion (communication between business and government), and not to have an official position in the Russian government. Otherwise, he would have abandoned business and become an official, and he would definitely be able to reach such a height based on his own strength.

But everyone has their own ambitions, Ma Wei still likes a comfortable and leisurely life. It is not his preference for handling cumbersome official duties...

"I am happy to serve General Curidov. It is my honor to be able to make a contribution to the country. Oh, by the way, in order to allow the Russian soldiers participating in this anti-terrorism battle to have no worries, my Migoyang family decided to spend 1 billion US dollars to support this anti-terrorism operation!" Mawei said to General Curidov with a faint tone.

Since you want to march and fight, it will definitely cost a lot of money. Considering the financial constraints of the Russian government, Mawei, a big tycoon, must have contributed some. Moreover, this war against terrorism was originally due to his fighter jet business. It would be unreasonable to spend less money.

As soon as Mawei finished speaking, General Curidov, as well as the Russian sea, land and air generals, were suddenly surprised and couldn't help but open their eyes wide.

"1 billion US dollars? Mr. Mavie really?" General Curidov was obviously amazed by Mavie's spending money.

You should know that in the 1980s, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan for only 10 years, and it only costed a total of less than 50 billion rubles. According to the exchange rate at that time, it was almost equal to 2 billion US dollars. Mavie's 1 billion US dollars, including the inflation rate, is almost one-third of the cost of the Afghan War in the former Soviet Union in the 10 years.

In other words, the money donated by Mawei alone can support the Russian army and gallop on the battlefield of Afghanistan for more than two years! It has solved the economic pressure of the Russian government and the Russian military. At least for two years, they do not need to worry about the money issue.

"Yes, General Curidov, the amount of 1 billion US dollars will never be reduced." Ma Wei said in the combat room with a calm expression.

When the Russian army fights, the "cost-performance ratio" is really too high. If it were the United States, it would probably have to burn at least 8 billion US dollars just for a year.

Why is the cost gap between the US military and the Russian military so big? That's because Americans only prefer the most advanced high-tech equipment when fighting, regardless of cost performance.

For example, in the Iraq War, the US Air Force launched an air strike code-named "Operation Decapitation", launching a total of more than 800 Tomahawk cruise missiles. This missile is used to destroy strategic targets such as Iraqi army commands, radar stations, missile positions. Its cost is US$1.6 million. 800 Tomahawk cruise missiles, which is US$1.2 billion!

What's more, there are other models of precision-guided missiles, with a total number of nearly 20,000! The total cost is more than 20 billion US dollars! It is conceivable how expensive the US military is. The cost of missiles is sky-high.

If it were Russia, it would definitely use the most cost-effective one. If it could use a self-propelled rocket launcher, it would never use the Scud missile. If it could use a Scud missile, it would never use the cruise missile.

In addition to the excessive equipment squandering, the personnel costs of American soldiers were even more expensive. Americans were all master soldiers. During World War II, they had to take a hot bath and eat turkey on the battlefield.

According to a research report, the average annual cost of a U.S. soldier stationed in Afghanistan is $3.9 million. This is the data from 2015. By 2001, the cost per person was about $500,000. Ten thousand people stationed in a year is $5 billion. This does not include the cost of casualties compensation.

Compared with the personnel costs of the Russian army, Mawei's money is already worth it.

"Mr. Mavie! Thank you so much! Thank you for your contribution to our army!" The Russian general standing around expressed warm gratitude for Mavie's generous donation.

I have to say that Mavie is really too comprehensive. Not only does it provide such a good tactical idea to the Russian army, but it also makes the government's military expenditure a headache. Mavie also takes over for two years. This is really powerful.

"You're welcome, this is what I should do." Mawei replied in a low-key manner.

Compared with the investment of $1 billion in military supplies, his layout in Afghanistan has just begun. The Middle East and the Russian Caucasus region are the most abundant in oil and natural gas production around the world.

If Mawei contributes funds, supports the army, and then suppresses militants in Afghanistan, it will be equivalent to curbing the neck of the Middle East, the oil competitor. In this way, it will definitely be a matter of time before monopolizing the oil market and unifying oil prices.

By that time, Mawei's oil and energy company had absolute say. Whoever he wanted to sell oil to, not to whom. The price he gave was higher and the price was cheaper, all of them were just a matter of one sentence.

The profit here is much greater than the $1 billion military expenses!
