"Tsk, tsk, we in Britain are too strong!"
"Is this why you sell blast walls to the Argentines?"
"It's not prohibited from above, so why can't I sell it?"
Shepard's gratitude to Britain exploded after Argentina's Galtieri military government purchased a total of eight thousand sets of blast wall modules from Shadow Defense with cash.
At this time, Argentina's 13,000-strong army had landed on Falkland Island, which Argentina calls Malvinas Island.
After landing, in order to prevent the British from counterattacking, the Argentine military leaders immediately started various preparations on the island. After being developed and promoted, Shadow Company's blast wall module has been regarded as a best-selling product in the arms market. After all, other weapons are generally Similar substitutes can be found, but blast wall modules are different.
Shadow Defense has registered relevant patents and other certificates early, so it is the only one in the market with no branches, so there is naturally a huge demand gap.
Not only Europe and the United States, but also many war-torn African countries and Latin American countries are in demand. This kind of module can quickly establish a forward base. It can not only withstand bullets and small-caliber artillery fire, but is also resistant to explosions. Therefore, it is suitable for many small countries. It is very effective, because their opponents have average equipment and have no means to threaten the stronghold established with this module.
The Argentine military government naturally needs this kind of thing. After all, there is no depth of defense on the Falklands. If they want to retake the Falklands, they must station sufficient defenders on it to resist the British attack.
Shadow Defense is naturally responsive to the Argentine government's procurement requests, and is even willing to let them jump in line to get the goods in advance, but this process still takes a few days.
The procurement personnel of the Argentine military government also understood the popularity of this module, so they naturally nodded and agreed. At the same time, they did not forget to pay the full price in advance.
And this is what Shepard is waiting for!
When the Argentinians paid for it and were eagerly waiting to get the goods, the Reagan administration in the United States suddenly announced a military embargo and economic blockade against Argentina. The blast wall modules of Shadow Defense are naturally military supplies, so they are also banned. on the luck list. .net
Therefore, these explosion-proof wall modules are naturally no longer available to the Argentinians, and most importantly, they will not refund the money!
In other words, the blast-proof walls that the Argentines spent cash to buy were all in vain, the money and goods were gone, and even the personnel were driven out.
And the most annoying thing is not just here. The blast wall modules that the Argentines spent money to buy are in the warehouse of Shadow Defense, because their next home has been found, and it is the British who are about to start a war with the Argentines. .
After all, the United States and the United Kingdom also have a father-son relationship. Now that the United Kingdom is in trouble, the United States will naturally not sit idly by. The Americans have helped a lot by supplying fuel to the British fleet. They are now enforcing an economic blockade and military embargo against Argentina. It's a trivial matter.
And Shepard had the best of both worlds. He first made money from Argentina and produced the goods, and then made money from the British and sold the goods. He had already made a profit!
Of course, even if there is no embargo, Shepard does not intend to really sell to the Argentines, because they are too stingy. Eight thousand sets of explosion-proof wall modules are only eight thousand meters long. This quantity is not enough to survive. Just build a small-scale temporary camp, or you can build hundreds of designed bunkers separately.
On the contrary, the British were generous and ordered a total of 30,000 units in advance.
These 30,000 sets are only needed to establish an operational base on South Georgia Island, and do not include those that will be used on the Falklands. These days, the rich ones are the boss.
According to the Royal Navy consultant who came to purchase, the final purchase volume by the British will not even be less than 60,000 sets!
This not only increased Shepard's gratitude to the Prime Minister, but unfortunately, the consultant was not interested in anything else, whether it was bullets, night vision equipment, sights, or individual soldier rations. some type of.
It’s not that the British looked down upon this, but for this expedition, the British also requisitioned a large number of
The 660,000-ton civilian merchant ships provide support for the army. Therefore, they have no shortage of these logistical supplies for the time being, and naturally there is no need to purchase them.
In this way, as the Argentines took root in the Falklands and the final mediation between the two sides failed, the British fleet set off from the mainland and headed for the Falklands, preparing to let the Argentines know what a rotten ship and three thousand nails meant. Although the British Empire was in decline Although the family is still rich, the battle can still be fought!
As the war officially started, the British and Arab navies and air forces started fighting in the local waters. The currencies of both sides, as well as the financial markets in related industries, naturally fluctuated, especially the steel, arms, medicine, and oil markets. Because of these Everything is closely related to war, especially steel and oil. These are the blood of modern industry. Without these two things, war would not be fought at all!
Countless capital poured into it at this moment. After all, there are not many good opportunities to make a fortune, but a large amount of capital actually holds a wait-and-see attitude towards the war. Unlike Shepard, they don't know the outcome and have no idea about this war. I’m not sure whether it will end quickly, so I’m naturally very hesitant.
And Shepard knew that the war would not last long, so he directly entered the Stud. This kind of large investment also shocked many relevant people in the industry. Some familiar people even said that Shepard was rushing to win the championship. Anger turns into beauty, after all, the hostess of Shadow Company is British!
But what they didn't know was that Shepard was most grateful to Prime Minister Thatcher, who was known as the commander of the cavalry. Thanks to her, Shadow Company got a huge piece of fat as soon as it entered the market, and the rate of return was unparalleled. Talk about several times, twenty times or even ten times!
To put it bluntly, after this battle is over, Shepard can get rid of his so-called billionaire hat and become one of the tens of billions, and this is naturally thanks to the Prime Minister.
Of course, the credit here does not belong solely to the Prime Minister, but Argentina’s General Galtieri also played an important role.
After all, if he hadn't done this to divert domestic conflicts, Shepard wouldn't have had the chance to make a lot of money.
It's just a pity that after the war, this great benefactor will definitely be ousted from office. Therefore, Shepard may not be able to find anyone to say thank you to!
