Chapter 808 (1/2)
Simon's visit to Ukraine is mainly for further planning of the Uygur private army.
Before that, Simon had been hesitant about whether to recruit the private army from the veterans group or to cultivate it from scratch. During this time, he finally made a decision.
Although it is convenient and fast to recruit ex servicemen, it can save a lot of manpower and material resources. However, these people can't have the absolute loyalty Simon needs after all, and they may also be mixed up in the recruitment process.
Since it is decided to build a westero system which is independent of the political system of each country, as the violent machine to guard this system, the private army of the Uyghur family must be cultivated by this system, so as to obtain physically qualified soldiers and accurately shape their loyalty and values at the same time.
In the end, the private army of the Uygur family will become a group of ”westerosians”. These people will not belong to a certain country or depend on a certain nation, but will be completely loyal to the westero system.
Just like Simon's penetration plan in Africa, it is also a huge project that requires slow work.
However, whether it is ten years or twenty years, as long as a group of real private forces are built, the interests of the Westeros and the Westeros can be protected to the greatest extent.
You know, in modern society, it is difficult for the number of troops to influence the trend of a war.
In modern war, what is consumed more is the inside information of a country.
With the development momentum of the westero system, it may only take ten years to compete with most of the countries on the planet. Therefore, the resources available to the private forces of the Uygur family relying on this economic system are enough to deter all covetous people.
For example, three nuclear warheads buried in the Gobi of Western Australia.
Simon's decision to cultivate the private army of the Uyghur family from scratch is precisely affected by this matter. Any weapon needs to be operated by people. If it's time to use these weapons as a last resort, Simon can't deliver and detonate them himself.
Obviously, at this stage, the private forces of the Uygur family may be able to go to the battlefield for rich money, but they may not have the loyalty to detonate a nuclear bomb for Simon.
Simon arrived in Ukraine, joined up with Celia Miller's team from the United States, and stayed in Livni for three days. In fact, it was just the beginning of a symbolic decision. Next, there will be a team of consultants from the United States and Ukraine to draft a detailed institutional framework from training to maintenance and subsequent retirement.
Rivney, villa south of town.
April 27.
After a day's work, Simon returns to his residence. After dinner, he continues to discuss another matter with Celia in a living room on the first floor of the villa.
About recruiting Soviet scientists.
It is said that this matter has been done again before. Ufms children's school has the luxury faculty that Simon has previously recruited.
However, this time and last time are two different things.
Simon's plan is to recruit experts involved in nuclear energy, aerospace, genetic engineering and other fields, and continue to provide funds and platforms for these people to carry out relevant research.
The unspeakable purpose is that Simon needs to get involved in relevant sensitive industries in order to obtain the most cutting-edge technological power of this era.
On the surface, of course, a legitimate reason is needed.
”If you pay attention, you should find that in the past 100 years of the big bang of science and technology, many great inventions that have completely changed the process of human civilization are basically related to war. The end of the hegemony struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union is good for the world to enter a long period of peace. However, in my opinion, it is a catastrophe for the development of science and technology. Without an urgent confrontation, such as nuclear energy and space, all the important research that can promote the next stage of human civilization will slow down significantly. Let this situation continue. For a long time in the future, the best resources of human society will only be used in various fields of people's livelihood. Of course, ordinary people can benefit from it. However, from the perspective of the whole human development, this is actually a kind of inebriated dream of not striving for progress. The wealth I have now has reached a level that is hard to spend no matter how much I spend. In that case, I always have to find a goal. It's my choice to continue to study these important fields that are closely related to the future of human civilization. ”
A girl is listening carefully with bright eyes, and her expression is blindly following what her boss says.
Celia Miller is more rational. Even if she is touched by Simon's words, she still says, ”but, boss, you know, these fields are quite sensitive.”
Simon said: ”of course, I understand. Moreover, I didn't say that I want to study these things secretly like terrorists without national supervision. All these things will be on the surface. I'm going to set up a space exploration technology company, well, SpaceX. What do you think? ”
With that said, without waiting for the two women to reply, Simon continued: ”the company's research direction will be launch vehicles, space shuttles, controllable nuclear fusion, space reactors and other projects related to space exploration. Of course, it has to have a goal of emigrating to Mars and manned landing on Mars within at least 20 years. I know that these projects are very expensive. However, not to mention all the enterprise stocks I hold in my hands, but at present, the annual net profit generated by the whole westero system has reached the level of 10 billion US dollars. I believe that in more than ten years, this figure will increase to zero and reach the level of 100 billion US dollars. I can't spend all this money anyway, and I will spend tens of billion US dollars every year In these studies, there is no problem at all. ”Celia listened to Simon and made a slight swallowing movement.
Once working in the Department of defense, she was very clear about the US budget investment in some sensitive areas during the US Soviet hegemony.
Just talking about space, NASA's annual budget in recent years is only 10 billion US dollars. However, as a government department, NASA's budget actually has to take into account too many aspects, such as space observation, space station maintenance, the operating expenses of a large number of subsidiaries in North America, and so on. It is really used in technical research, let alone half, even one third none.
Of course, the technology resources NASA can use actually come from many aspects.
However, if Simon wants to do this, he can also make use of various resources. On this basis, his boss can invest ten times of NASA's research funds every year. It's hard to imagine how far this project will develop in the future if it really unfolds.
Simon looked at Celia's reaction, and he probably knew that his excuse was very convincing.
Unlike China, where Simon once lived, in the west, areas such as relatively sensitive nuclear energy and aerospace must also be subject to certain regulation. However, as long as there is enough capital, it is not difficult to participate. In fact, many enterprises in sensitive areas in the West are theoretically private companies held by the public, and few of them are state-owned.
Just like musk's SpaceX in my memory, the development of this company is basically restricted by the problem of funds. Few U.S. Congress or other departments jump out and tell me that you can't play, Balabala.
Simon depicts a big pie for all mankind at this time. In fact, of course, he won't do it all.
It's going to set up a SpaceX ahead of time. Simon's main goal is rockets.
At the critical moment, it is not a big problem to modify the rocket and use it as a missile. Only this purpose, except for a few people who can be absolutely trusted, Simon will not easily disclose it to the public.
Compared with emigrating to Mars, Simon is really interested in genetic engineering and other projects.
As a modern man, even though he has stood at the top of the human pyramid, Simon is still very rational, and will not pursue the illusory immortality like the ancient emperors. However, Simon also believes that with the development of modern science and technology and continuous investment in research, people will be able to easily live for decades in the future.
Simon remembers a point.
A very important reason for restricting the development of human science and technology is that human life span is relatively short. Many people often spend one-third of their life to learn and grow up, and only one-third of their follow-up work time, and the last one-third of their life, often achieve nothing in aging.
Think about it. If Einstein could live to be 100 instead of dying at 76, how many possibilities would the extra 24 years for a great scientist bring to human science and technology. If all the scientists who can promote the progress of human science and technology can have decades more time, what will happen?
Celia will stay in Ukraine for a few more days.
Simon didn't want to persuade his subordinates. He just announced his decision. Just like the new operation plan of the Uyghur private army, Simon asked Celia to set up a special talent headhunting team during her stay in Ukraine to find suitable experts in relevant fields in the countries of the former Soviet Union.
While talking like this, the open door of the living room was knocked a few times.
Yekaterina noskova was holding a tray with a pot of steaming coffee on it. When she saw the three people looking over, her neck shrunk slightly, and she said, ”Simon, and two ladies, I think your coffee needs to be changed.”
Simon is going to be here today. She smiles and shakes her hand at the girl. Catherine immediately relaxes and walks into the room.
Seeing this, Celia and her daughter both got up and left wisely.
Yekaterina adds coffee to Simon's cup. Seeing the other two women leave, she gets a sign to pick up the coffee cup and come over to Simon. She gives the cup to Simon and nestles up to the man.
Simon held the coffee in one hand and put his other hand around the girl's slender waist. He felt a faint smell and asked with a smile, ”it's very fragrant. What's this?”
”Lavender.”
”Well,” Simon answered, ”how careful are you these days? Have you done anything bad?”
Ekaterina quickly shook her head and denied: ”No.” ”Simon, I didn't mean to quarrel with Lyudmila. I, uh, I'll apologize to her next class,” he said
Simon didn't expect it.
Lyudmila besonovskova, Eve's sister.
When Simon came to Ukraine last time, he happened to meet this goblin. He arranged for her to have a class with the three girls of yekaterina. The girl's condition is very good, so he plans to throw her away and become a model next year.
It's just a small thing.
