Chapter 360: Everything is a Transaction of Interests
What is war?! Carl Von Clausewitz's "On War" says that war is an act of violence that forces the enemy to submit to our will. Pen ~ Fun ~ Cabinet www.biquge.info War is the continuation of politics by another means. Politics is bloodless war, and war is bloody politics. War is part of political interaction, politics is the end, war is the means.
And Hou Dasheng, who returned to the sea from the depths of the island, has a different experience. War is not just an act of violence that forces the enemy to submit to our will. When mankind has developed so far, wars are more often waged because of the huge interests that exist in them.
War will cause great damage to the country and people's livelihood. It will kill a lot of people, and it will leave many people homeless, separated from their wives, and die. But who cares?! When the part of the people who have the right to speak thinks that war can bring benefits, and calculates and distributes these benefits.
War will come. For example, right now. War in the Middle East is clearly inevitable, and Iraq, which has been blockaded and divided for many years, is dying. He has been pulled out of his claws, but his home has countless coveted treasures.
So, he's being targeted. Today, all the benefits of any war will be distributed before it starts. Only when everyone is satisfied with this interest will the symphony of war be played. The military-industrial complex is very satisfied, because war will bring a lot of arms consumption. This will lead to an increase in orders.
Financial groups are also satisfied, and the war brings financial volatility. Having foreseen the war in advance, they can calmly reap a lot of benefits from the capital market. The oil conglomerates are even more satisfied, with a large number of exploited oil fields. This means that after the end of the war, they can completely take these oil fields by some means.
The Pentagon is very satisfied, how can everyone be promoted without war?! Relying on the accumulated seniority in peacetime, when will you have to climb to those positions?! Only war can get them promoted and get medals as quickly as possible. Then win flowers, applause, and glory.
The White House, of course, is very satisfied. On the one hand, this can greatly divert the attention of dissenting opinions, and on the other hand, almost all interest groups are satisfied. Naturally, the White House will also fall into the favor. Why not?! Moreover, the owner of the White House has a time limit. No one can rule the White House for long.
So, what are you going to do and what you can do when it's due. This is a question that must be considered. Become a consultant for certain groups, millions of dollars per year in advisory fees. Then some books are published, some lectures are held. Someone will pay for it. This will make his retirement simpler, richer, more abundant and more enjoyable.
"Regarding the entry of council members into China, I think we still need to talk about it." The old man on behalf of the service provider asked the general manager of the council island to find Hou Dasheng. Then he sent a message to him: "In the council, you are the most familiar with Huaxia. So, the chairman would like to know more about it from you. ”
Hou Dasheng smiled, nodded and followed him to the chairman. In fact, the chairman of the board of directors who knows Huaxia is lying when he says that he doesn't understand. Although the service provider has been away from Huaxia for a long time, in fact, their attention to Huaxia has never stopped.
As far as Hou Dasheng knows, the service provider has set up five stations in Xiangjiang. One of them is a chain of five-star hotels. The hotel is openly home to a number of well-known majority shareholders. The actual controlling person is the service provider. It's just that they rarely do business in this hotel.
Xiangjiang is a special case, and they made an exception to set up a station in this hotel in Xiangjiang. At the same time, this site provides only a partial intelligence service. You need to be qualified to be able to enter the exchange. Xiangjiang and Huaxia are just a river apart.
And many times, Huaxia needs Xiangjiang as a window to the outside world to do a lot of things. Therefore, it is a lie to say that the service provider does not have news of Huaxia. But these messages are true or false, and in many cases, service providers do not have a way to verify these messages.
After all, they don't have a site within Huaxia. Even now, when China is opening up, they dare not go deep into China. It's just that there are a few points of contact in a few cities that act as windows. There are also very few things in charge, and there is no way to compare with other regional sites.
If they want to open a gap in it, then they need to understand the bottom line of Huaxia. The bitter lesson of being expelled directly from Huaxia made service providers cautious in returning to Huaxia. For fear that if he is not careful, he will be angered by the Huaxia side and will suffer the same blow as last time.
In fact, the cooperation between service providers and Huaxia cannot be said to be completely absent. Lu Song and their field work did not lack the help of service stations to complete some tasks. As long as you leave Huaxia, it is completely impossible to engage in this kind of work to avoid service providers.
For many transactions, both parties need an intermediary guarantor. Service providers naturally became their choice. Some people want to secretly release some secrets in exchange for some information they need, or money. It may even be something that is important to them, but can be considered for the owner to trade.
The simplest example, Hou Dasheng once saw in the file of the service provider how a certain person who was judged to be dead was collectively concealed from the news of his life until he died of natural causes. He used a lot of secret information in exchange for his chance to live.
Some World War II groups used similar tactics. There was a settlement with Zion to a certain extent, or rather an agreement with the service provider. exchanged some of the things they knew and could for a chance to live comfortably.
But some people are unforgivable. Adolf Eichmann, for example. Of the more than 6 million Jews killed in World War II, at least two million were closely related to him. In order to finally hold him, Zion paid a huge price unimaginable to ordinary people.
Of course, Zion was not omnipotent, and they were forced to make compromises. Once as "the most dangerous man in Europe", he forced the Mossad to remove him from the hunt list. The price to be paid by the latter is to assist them in the hunt. There are also trainers.
In this matter, it is still the service provider who does the insurance. Zion had to pinch his nose and admit it. Although neither side ever admitted to this, the most dangerous man in Europe was never assassinated in his life. He eventually died of cancer at the age of 67.
The most dangerous man in Europe not only forced Zion to give up the hunt for him. At the same time, the Allies finally declared him innocent. In this matter, it is still the service provider who handles it. The deal between the two sides was hidden, and the man paid a huge price. But in exchange for the tolerance of his presence by the Allies and Zion.
Of course, Zion had to pinch his nose to keep this man alive for a simple reason - profit. They needed a master to deal with Egypt, which was fighting Israel at the time. At that time, some rocket specialists who had served in the Third Reich were working with Egypt.
This is not good news for Israel. For the sake of Israel's survival, Zion had to pinch his nose and find Otto, who they had been chasing for a long time but still helpless. Can you imagine war criminals who carried out the German "Final Solution" of World War II walking legitimately, accompanied by Israeli officials, walking at the Holocaust memorial?!
It's such a ridiculous thing, but it really happened. When he first saw this file, Hou Dasheng also felt incredible. But when he put it all together, he found that Zion had to do it. Revenge is important, but if there is no way to ensure the security of the country, then revenge becomes meaningless.
What Otto had in his hands is not recorded in the archives. But the remuneration he pays to the service provider is very substantial. That is, he gathered his subordinates, including a large number of relevant personnel, to train the "pit viper" for the service provider. And Otto himself is also an S-level collaborator of the service provider.
His excellent subordinates who used to be under the protection of service providers no longer have to worry about Zion's pursuit. Of course, they also got a lot of orders from Zion and did some things. Most of these people are now out of this world, and only the cold archives of the Service Providers Council faithfully record them.
"If you want to enter China, it's not difficult. But there is another principle that must be observed. The place where Hou Dasheng and the chairman of the service provider met was a hotel by the sea in Monaco. In his luxurious study, he can see the beautiful sea views and sunsets from his private beach.
Sitting upright in front of the old man, Hou Dasheng said in a deep voice: "In Huaxia, don't participate in any political activities at any time and under any circumstances. Whether it's intelligence, it's manpower, or whatever. As long as this principle is followed, then everything else can be discussed. But if we want to build a site in China, we must follow this principle. ”
"It's completely impossible for us not to participate." The old man smiled helplessly, and said softly: "Our role is this, if there is no such role, then what is the difference between our existence and those gangsters on the street?!" ”
Hou Dasheng smiled slightly and said softly, "You misunderstood what I meant. What I mean by this is that we must not get involved in the politics of China. Unlike the United States, we can control certain members of the House of Representatives and Senate. But in Huaxia, don't think about it. Otherwise......"
"Of course, we still have a lot of business to do. For example, commercially, there are also Huaxia itself and other countries. Hou Dasheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "In this regard, everyone will only acquiesce." They want to get the situation of other countries from us, then naturally there will be other countries that want to get their situation from us......"
Hou Dasheng looked at the old man and said, "We don't get involved in their internal things. But it can be used as a cooperative platform and guarantor for some of their transactions. That in itself is the meaning of our existence. ”
