Chapter 808 Superficial Reasons(1/2)
Simon's trip to Ukraine was mainly to further plan the system of the maintenance of the furniture military.
Before this, Simon had been hesitating whether to recruit from the retired military or train himself from scratch. During this period, he finally made a decision.
Recruiting retired soldiers is convenient and fast, and can save a lot of manpower and material resources, but these people cannot have the absolute loyalty that Simon needs, and may be mixed up by those who are interested in the recruitment process.
Since it has been decided to build a Westerosian system that is independent of the political systems of each country, as a violent machine to protect this system, the Weijia Army must be personally trained by this system, so that while obtaining physically qualified soldiers, they can also accurately shape their loyalty and values. In the end, the Weijia Army will become a group of real "westerosians". These people will not belong to a certain country, nor will they rely on a certain nation, but will only be completely loyal to the Westerosian system.
Just like Simon's penetration plan in Africa, this is also a major project that requires slow work and meticulous work.
However, whether it is ten or twenty years, as long as a group of real Weifang private troops is built, the interests of the Westeros system and the Westeros family can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.
You should know that in modern society, it is difficult to affect the trend of a war.
Modern warfare consumes more of a country's heritage.
With the development momentum of the Westeros system, it may only take ten years, and its own foundation and strength are enough to compete with most countries on this planet. Therefore, relying on this economic system, the resources that can be used can be enough to deter all covetants.
For example, three nuclear warheads buried in the Gobi Desert in Western Australia.
Simon made the decision to train the Weifu Army from scratch. It was affected by this incident that any weapon needs to be operated by people. If it is absolutely necessary, it is impossible for the Westeros family to personally deliver and detonate.
It is obvious that the current Weijia Private Army has not yet had the loyalty to detonate a nuclear bomb for Simon.
Simon arrived in Ukraine and met with the team brought by Celia Miller from the United States. He stayed in Rifny for three days, but in fact he only made a symbolic and decisive beginning. Next, an advisory team composed of both the United States and Ukraine will draft a detailed institutional framework for the Furniture Army from training to maintenance and even subsequent retirement.
Rifny, villa in the south of the city.
April 27.
After finishing the day's work and returning to the residence, Simon continued to discuss another thing with Celia in a living room on the first floor of the villa after dinner.
About recruiting former Soviet scientists.
Speaking of which, this matter has been done again before, and the UFMS Children's School has the luxury faculty that Simon has previously recruited.
However, this time is different from the last time.
This time, Simon plans to recruit experts in the fields of nuclear energy, aerospace, genetic engineering, etc., and continue to provide funds and platforms for these people to conduct related research.
The purpose that cannot be told to others is that Simon needs to enter relevant sensitive industries legitimately in order to obtain the most cutting-edge technological power of this era.
On the surface, of course, it is necessary to have a legitimate reason: "If you pay attention, you should find that in the past 100 years of technological explosion, many great inventions that have completely changed the process of human civilization are basically related to war. The end of the battle between the United States and the Soviet Union is a good thing for the world to enter a period of a considerable period of peace. However, in my opinion, this incident is a catastrophe for the development of science and technology. Without an urgent confrontation, important research such as nuclear energy and aerospace that can promote the next stage of human civilization are all substantial.
Slow down. Let this continue. For a long time in the future, the best resources in human society will only be applied to various areas of people's livelihood. Of course, ordinary people can benefit from it. However, from the perspective of the overall human development, this is actually a kind of drunken life and dream of not seeking progress. The wealth I have now reached a level that it is difficult to spend it no matter how much it is spent. Since this is the case, we must always find a goal. Continuing research on these important areas closely related to the prospects of human civilization is my choice."
A girl listened carefully with bright eyes, and her expression showed her blind obedience to whatever her boss said.
Celia Miller was even more rational. Even though she was touched by Simon's words, she said: "But, boss, you have to know that these areas are quite sensitive."
Simon said: "Of course I understand, and I didn't say I want to break away from national regulation and secretly study these things like terrorists. These will be on the surface. I plan to set up a space exploration technology company, well, it's called spacex. What do you think?"
As she said this, Simon continued: "The research direction of this company will be launch vehicles, space shuttles, controlled nuclear fusion and space reactors, etc. related to space exploration. Of course, we must have a goal to immigrate to Mars. Well, within at least twenty years, manned login to Mars. I know that these projects are very expensive, but not to mention all the corporate stocks I hold, but at present, the net profit generated by the entire Westeros system every year has reached the level of 10 billion US dollars. I believe that in more than ten years, this number will be added to another zero and reach the level of 10 billion. I can't spend all of this money anyway. I invest tens of billions of dollars a year to focus on these research, and there is no problem."
After hearing Simon's words, Celia couldn't help but make a slight swallowing move.
She once worked in the Ministry of Defense, and she was very aware of the budget investments of some sensitive areas during the US-Soviet battle.
Just talking about aerospace, NASA's annual budget for the past few years is only 10 billion US dollars. However, as a government department, NASA's budget actually takes into account too many aspects, such as space observation, existing space station maintenance, operating expenses of a large number of affiliated institutions in North America, etc., which are really used in technical research, not to mention half, not even one-third.
Of course, the technical resources that Nasa can use actually come from many aspects.
However, if Simon wants to do this, he can also use many resources. On this basis, his boss can invest ten times the research fund every year. It is hard to imagine how far this plan will develop in the future if it is really completed.
Simon looked at Celia's reaction and probably realized that his excuse was very convincing.
Unlike China where Simon once lived, in the West, such as relatively sensitive nuclear energy and aerospace, it must also be subject to certain supervision. However, as long as you have enough capital, it is not difficult to participate. In fact, many companies in the West are theoretically private enterprises owned by public shares and rarely belong to state-owned enterprises.
Just like Musk's spacex in my memory, it is basically a problem of funding that restricts the development of this company. Few U.S. Congress or other departments jumped out and pointed at it and said that you can't play with this, Barbara.
Simon now painted a big pie for all mankind, and in fact, he certainly would not do everything he could to do.
I plan to set up a spacex in advance, Simon's main target is the Rockets.
At the critical moment, it is not a big problem to use the Rockets as missiles. It is just that this purpose is, except for a few people around you who can absolutely trust, Simon will never easily disclose it to the public.
Compared to immigration to Mars, Simon is really interested in genetic engineering and other projects.
As a rational modern person, even if he is already at the top of the human pyramid, Simon is still very rational and will not pursue illusory immortality like ancient emperors. However, Simon also imagined that with the development of modern technology and continuous research, it would be no problem for people to live more easily for decades in the future.
Simon remembers a point of view.
A very important reason that restricts the development of human science and technology is that human lifespan is relatively short. Many people often spend one-third of their lives studying and growing, and the time they spend in subsequent work is probably only one-third, and the last third of their lives often achieve nothing in aging.
Think about it, if Einstein could live to 100 years old instead of 76 years of death, the extra 24 years would be the possibility for a great scientist to bring to human science and technology. What would happen if all scientists who could promote the progress of human science and technology could have extra decades?
Celia will also stay in Ukraine for some days.
Simon had no idea of convincing his subordinates. He just announced his decision. Just like this time he planned a new operation plan for the Weijia Private Army, Simon asked Celia to set up a dedicated talent headhunting team in Ukraine during this period to find suitable experts in related fields in Russia.
As I was chatting like this, the open door of the living room was gently knocked down and recorded.
Ekaterina Noskova held a tray with a pot of steaming coffee on it. Seeing the three of them looking over, she said slightly on her neck, and said, "Simon, and two ladies, I think your coffee is going to be replaced."
The matter was almost the same. Simon planned to be here today. He smiled and waved his hand at the girl. Caterina suddenly relaxed and walked into the room.
Seeing this, both Celia and her two women stood up and left with tactfulness.
Catherine added coffee to Simon's cup. When she saw the other two women leaving, she was signaled again. She picked up the coffee cup and walked over, handed the cup to Simon, and snuggled behavedly next to the man.
Simon held the coffee in one hand and hugged the girl's slender waist with the other, feeling a faint smell of smell, and asked with a smile: "It smells so good, what is this?"
"Lavender."
"Yes." Simon responded and said, "Why are you careful these days? Have you done something wrong?"
Catherine quickly shook her head and denied: "No." Then she paused, with a clear tone of anxiety: "Simon, I didn't intend to quarrel with Lyudmila. I, well, I will apologize to her next time I went to class."
Simon didn't expect it to be.
Lyudmira Besonoskova, Eve's sister.
The last time Simon came to Ukraine, he happened to meet this little fairy, so he arranged for her to attend class with three girls in Katerina. The girl has a very good figure and plans to throw her into a model next year.
This is just a trivial matter.
However, the three girls of Caterina obviously rejected Lyudmira, probably thinking that this was a lover Simon liked. It is difficult for women, regardless of age, to live in harmony, so conflicts are inevitable.
The women around Simon are actually always staring at them and will report some things regularly.
On the plane to Ukraine, Simon casually glanced at the recent movements of the three girls and found that the three girls often quarreled with Lyudmila. If it weren't for someone watching, they would even fight. For Simon, it was actually just a kitten scratching each other, so of course he didn't mind. After coming to Rifny, he casually joked with Katerina about this.
I didn't expect to be remembered by the girl.
Just smiled, Simon raised his arm around the girl's slender body, grabbed a delicate little chin and pinched it, and said, "It's nothing to quarrel. As long as you don't scratch your face, I don't care about the fight. Of course, if you are beaten, don't cry for me."
Yekaterina was caught by the man and couldn't help but shrink her head, yeah, agree.
But, I still haven't completely relieved.
In fact, the caution these days is not all about Simon's quarrel with Lyudmila.
Instead, the men have not touched the three of them these days.
They didn't even let them sleep with him.
This made the three girls of Caterina feel a strong sense of crisis. They knew the miserable situation of the girls who were driven out of the villa in the south of the city.
If the man around him suddenly became less interested in the three of them, it is hard to say whether they themselves, and even the family behind them, would suddenly be like the other three families who were driven away at the beginning of the year.
I have enjoyed such a princess-like life. Even though I know that many people around me are talking about their gossip, the envy is obvious. There are a few men in this world who can give their girls a whole plane gift. Also, after learning about Eve's affairs, the other female guards in the villa were obviously much more proactive when they saw the men around me in the last few days.
Ye Katerina couldn't help but wonder if men didn't have time to pay attention to them these days, so whether they were focusing on the female guards in the villa with similar appearance.
The current villa can be called the Kingdom of Women. Including the three of them, there are 11 women living here. All women can be said to be asking for the men around them.
In addition, Ekaterina has another trouble recently.
When her father learned that Simon was coming, he called her several times in a row and asked her to ask Simon for something.
I really don't want to help.
Caterina knew that her father had a good reputation in front of outsiders. She worked hard for the fertilizer factory and spared no effort to raise loans to help some farms in Rifny resume production.
However, the relationship between the father and daughter has always been very cold.
Because Maxim Northkov is a typical macho man, he has a kind of contempt for women and believes that women should stay at home and be a housewife for twenty-four hours a day. For mothers and girls at home, the only benefit of her father over the years is probably that she will not use domestic violence. Of course, she has been scolded since childhood.
Especially when she was chosen to be the waitress in this villa, she was not very willing at first. She was only 14 years old last year, so how could she be willing to be a waitress for others?
It was Maxim who made the decision himself.
The reason even made Ekaterina resentful to her father, because the salary given here was very high, and the money could allow her family to continue to support her brother to finish college. The Northkov family had four children, one boy and three girls. The father always wanted their elder brother to be trained as the successor of the family, so he attached great importance to the education of his elder brother.
As for the three sisters, just read.
Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, the family was quite well-off, and the three of their sisters lived a good life and were able to go to school. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, they encountered the collapse of the country's economy, and all the three sisters dropped out of school. Because of their father's persistence, the whole family had to find ways to support their elder brother who was studying for a graduate student at Kiev University.
This time, there was something wrong with the agricultural loan raised by my father at the beginning of the year.
Regarding the procurement of a batch of agricultural machinery.
Order placed.
As a result, the director of the agricultural machinery factory took Qian and his family to run away. It is said that he had smuggled to Germany, with a total of 260 billion hryvnia. Because the tractor ordered was not in place in time, it also affected the recent spring plowing.
