The hand behind the scenes

"I'm afraid you don't know everything." Aladdin shook his head.

"Eisenhower was the one who first coined the term. Eisen himself experienced the growth of the American military.

When MacArthur expelled retired World War I veterans in 1932, he was still a major under MacArthur's staff. He usually didn't even have a special car to go to work, and he had to take a bus to convey the military information of the Ministry of Defense.

At that time, the U.S. military had only 300,000 people, and the scale was almost a fraction of the current 1.3 million. Moreover, the weapons were backward, and the equipment and tactics were at the level of World War I.

But by the end of World War II, the US military has become a super military power with more than 10 million troops and 1,200 warships and hundreds of thousands of fighter jets.

In the process of World War II, the military industry of the United States has been greatly developed. On the one hand, many countries, such as the United Kingdom, France, and even Japan, are purchasing military materials from the United States.

Especially in Japan, more than 75% of Japan's strategic materials are bought from the United States, including oil, steel, weapon machine tools and so on.

Not to mention the United Kingdom, which has sold on a large scale almost all the assets that Americans can value overseas that have accumulated over the centuries, and purchased weapons from the United States.

On the other hand, the United States itself has been looking for a way out of the Great Depression in those years.

So when the Pearl Harbor Incident broke out, the United States immediately issued large-scale bonds, raised capital from the private sector, and then went to arms dealers to buy arms. "

"America's fortune?" Lin Rui mocked.

Aladdin smiled, "Don't underestimate this. In other words, Eisenhower had only 300,000 U.S. troops when he started working, and was not ranked among the European and American powers.

By the time he left the White House in 1960, the United States had become the world's largest military power, and the production capacity and scale of the military industry had reached an extremely terrifying state.

Later, the atomic bombs, computers, and space programs that we were familiar with were all budgeted by the state to the military, and the military then pulled a bunch of companies to engage in scientific research.

It was at that time that California became a first-tier state in the United States, and some large companies started to become arms giants at the same time.

And in 1960, Eisenhower was preparing to meet with Soviet President Khrushchev to discuss a disarmament agreement, including limits on strategic nuclear weapons.

As a result, on the eve of the talks, the U.S. U2 high-altitude reconnaissance plane invaded the Soviet Union without the authorization of the president and was shot down.

This is why he made a televised speech when he left office to warn the public to be wary of the military-industrial complex. "

"But what does this have to do with the problems we are currently encountering?" Lin Rui frowned.

"Listen to me first." Aladdin smiled, "The standard procedure is that those defense contractors describe terrifying enemies to everyone every day, including but not limited to hostile countries, terrorists, etc., to scare the American people.

Let the Yankees know that the world is not safe and that there will be demons threatening their free world at any time,

And then defense contractors lobbied in Congress to get the government to approve more military spending, send more troops overseas, provoke more people, and make America more enemies.

Then the enemy attacked the United States, and the defense contractor went on to describe how terrible the world was...

Yankees have lost their sense of security every day since then, and the US military has also discovered a trick. After conflicts with other countries, it will be extremely easy to ask Congress for money.

Since then, the US military has learned the problem of touching porcelain. Every year when it is about to ask for money, it will go out to touch porcelain. Events such as conflicts and tensions are all against this background.

But they weren't the only ones who discovered the knack for this. In fact, the secret society has been laid out a long time ago. "

"The secret society organization, I know they are related to some big companies. But it's not very clear." Lin Rui frowned.

Aladdin smiled, "The origin of the secret society organization is a group of radicals during the Cold War, including the former Soviet Union and the United States.

In fact, after the end of the Cold War, it is not only these radical soldiers who are most disappointed. And those large military-industrial enterprises.

In fact, throughout the Cold War, in addition to nuclear bomb reserves, the United States has maintained its leading position in other fields.

But the US has been preaching that it is threatened by the Soviet Union, which is the idea of ​​these people.

This expression is on the one hand to maintain the fighting spirit of the whole people, and on the other hand, it is also for the smooth passage of the huge amount of national defense funds. "

Lin Rui nodded, "It's understandable for companies to do business for their own interests."

"But when the benefits are huge, some things go bad." Aladdin sighed.

"In fact, in addition to these radical soldiers, there are also those large military-industrial groups in the formation of the secret society.

As I told you before, the Secret Society was built on a conference call that we didn't meet.

Among them, four representatives are representatives of military giants from the United States. At the time, they formed a secret society out of shared concerns about the end of the Cold War. "

Lin Rui looked at Aladdin in surprise, "Aren't you joking?"

"Of course not. There are people in the United States and the Soviet Union, and those military industrial groups have money. The secret society was built against such a background.

Therefore, although the Americans knew about the existence of the secret society, they kept it secret. The CIA did not dare to investigate.

A large part of this is due to some kind of resistance, and the resistance that can influence the CIA, guess who? ' Aladdin sneered.

"Those military giants." Lin Rui's face turned cold.

Aladdin replied, "It's not just them, but the guys on Wall Street. So the military-industrial complex is something that comes together when power and money and force come together.

However, those military giants are smarter. After all, they are big entrepreneurs. How could they be stupid?

Around 2000, they had a keen sense that the Secret Society was out of control.

The monster they funded and nurtured back then has begun to break free.

So they began to try to distance themselves from the secret society organization. But the Order has grown to the point where they are beyond their control, even threatening them in turn. "

"What a funny story." Lin Rui shook his head~www.readwn.com~ However, this has nothing to do with the problem I want to solve. "

"It's a big deal. Lockheed Martin is the target of the Secret Society.

One of the earliest funders of the Secret Society was Lockheed. The company merged with Martin Marietta in 1995 in order to avoid further entanglement with the secret society.

And changed its name to Lockheed Martin. I want to part ways with the secret society organization. ' Aladdin replied.

"The AGM-183A missile is a new product of Lockheed Martin. So the secret society wants to deal with them?" Lin Rui frowned.

"Lockheed Martin has stumbled and stumbled in the process of developing the AGM-183A missile, and test launches have repeatedly failed." Aladdin mocked.

"They are No. 145 on the Forbes Global 2000 list, and they remain the world's No. 1 arms manufacturer all year round.

With the research and development capabilities of this behemoth, all four AGM-183A missile tests failed. Do you think it was accidental? "
