Chapter 791 Arms Race

8days ago Celebrity fiction 13
After picking Jiang Chen off the plane, Moro Country naturally received a good hospitality.

The welcome convoy was a black Lincoln extended version, and the hotel we stayed at was the State Guest Hotel in Moro.

Passing through the emerald green lawn, stepping on the pure white stone steps under the reception of the guard of honor, the marble columns solemnly stood in a row, which was quite as charm as the Pantheon in Paris.

The former rebel flag fluttered in the sky in the posture of a national flag, and such majesty really surprised Jiang Chen.

But then he couldn't help but be shocked. It was so corruption!

Although the per capita income is only $800, this does not prevent the warlords who ruled Mindanao from living a petty-bourgeois life.

He fought guerrillas in the mountains with the Philippine government forces for decades, and now he has finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish of independence. How can he control his own hands and pursue a better life?

According to the requirements of the Future Group, the Moro defines the type of government as an elected government in the constitution to block the verbal talk of Western countries.

However, at the same time, they also wrote a special wartime regulations in the Constitution, which stipulates that the term of office of the president is infinitely extended during wartime, and that the Supreme Commander has the final say when the wartime regulations end.

By the way, both the President and the Supreme Commander were General Santos alone.

Jiang Chen didn't care how Santos exploited his own people.

All he needs to be responsible for are the employees of the Future People Group, the soldiers and soldiers of the Star Ring Trade, and the people of the New Kingdom on the Panu Islands.

So when facing the favor of the Moro government, he accepted it very calmly.

There were as many as ten maids responsible for taking care of his daily life, and in terms of appearance, they were all at the level of disaster.

The decoration of the room is extremely luxurious, and the wine, cigars and other daily necessities placed in the display cabinet are all international famous brands. I am afraid that Santos himself will not be willing to be so luxurious.

While sighing at the large-scale investment of the Moro government, Jiang Chen couldn't help but wonder whether Santos had something to ask him for?

In the evening, Santos held a banquet in the auditorium of the State Guest Hotel to entertain Jiang Chen.

In addition to the protagonist Jiang Chen, all the guests who visited were prominent and powerful people on Mindanao.

Most of them are military personnel, and there are also some real estate developers and gold miners in Moro.

Most of the female guests who visited were relatives of these officers and businessmen. Jiang Chen noticed that many young girls looked at them with passion...

But the daughters of these native nobles are really not very beautiful, and Jiang Chen is not interested at all.

At the banquet, there were so many melodious symphony playing on the stage, and the guests had a great chat.

After three rounds of drinking, Santos, who was sitting next to Jiang Chen, suddenly had a smile on his face.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Chen knew that this guy must have something to bother him.

Mr. Jiang, our enemy has been a little restless on the border recently.

I have to say that Santos is much smoother than the big and thick man before. I think he also understands that governing the country cannot rely on muscles.

This opening used our enemy to bring Jiang Chen's position to his own side.

Moreover, the tone of speaking was like discussing military information with allies, and he would not lose face in front of his subordinates.

Although he saw this, Jiang Chen did not take his little thoughts to heart. He picked up the wine glass and sucked it, and asked casually.

oh?Are there any actions in the Philippines?

The Aquino government promulgated a new recruitment bill, declaring that it would reorganize the decadent army and expand 100,000 troops.

Aquino?Didn’t that guy resign?Jiang Chen frowned.

The one who resigned was Aquino III, and this one was Aquino IV who came to power...

OK, fourth generation.

Jiang Chen reached out and pinched his brow that was sour due to his drunkenness.

He doesn't understand these monkeys very much...

After carefully looking at Jiang Chen, Santos continued.

In addition, the Philippines also announced that it will build a modern army with the help of the United States, introduce M1a1 main battle tanks and Apache armed helicopters and other vehicles...

M1a1?Jiang Chen's eyes moved slightly, his fingers gently lit the wine glass, and his lips curled disdainfully, can they afford it?

How many bananas do you need to buy a M1a1 main battle tank?

Upon hearing this, Santos sighed with a frown.

I don’t know, the news from our informants in the Philippines was that they seemed to have received a considerable loan.

loan?

Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Jiang Chen's expression was a little strange, and then asked Santos.

Do you have any exact news about the number of loans and the time of loans?

The amount is about 10 billion US dollars, and the time...it is about the end of April.After exchanging sights with his intelligence minister, Santos nodded and said after receiving a positive answer.

At the end of April, it was almost time for Jiang Chen and the Freemason to have a rift in the future when Renmin Mining and BHP Mining Group cooperated.

One hundred billion US dollars, such a big deal!

A M1A1 tank is only priced at $4 million. If the money is all spent on the Army and Air Force, the Philippines can fully build a modern army.

In order to expand investment, Jiang Chen can't think of any other way except for the ability to recover investment in war.

Originally, Jiang Chen was a little confused about why BHP Group made such a proposal that the future group would not accept at all, and then withdrew so calmly after being refused to renew the contract.

Now, their goal should be quite large.

After pondering for a while, Jiang Chen gently clicked the glass of wine on the table and asked in a half-joking tone.

Your military expenditure will not be used here.

How is that possible!Our annual military budget accounts for 15% of GDP, because we are worried that they will tear up the armistice agreement.Santos replied quickly.

Without asking him how much GDP he spends on enjoyment every year, Jiang Chen said after pondering for a moment.

From tomorrow, Star Ring Trade will help the Moro build a modern army to deal with regional tensions caused by the expansion of the northern Philippines.You don’t have to worry about military expenditure for the time being. We will lend it to you by low-interest loans, with a total loan of 5 billion US dollars.

Upon hearing this, Santos couldn't help but feel happy. The big stone that had been pressing on his chest these days finally moved away. He immediately stood up and raised his glass to toast Jiang Chen.

Haha, thank you so much!Our friends, the people of Mindanao will remember your contribution to our revolution!

After the banquet, several noble ladies and socialites refused to invite them to visit the boudoir, and Jiang Chen went straight back to the Guogu Hotel.

Throwing his dress on the hanger, he immediately spoke to Star Ring Trade and ordered Ivan and Bakari on his decision to assist the modernization of the Moro country's military.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen was about to change his clothes and take a bath under the service of a group of Yingying YànYàn's maids, but the Future still on his wrist rang again.

Looking at the lines of words on the holographic screen, Jiang Chen was slightly stunned.

It's actually an international long distance!

And from Boston, USA.
