Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 663 Security Department Project
When Mountain Eagle linked corruption with national security, Kobe suddenly understood a lot of things!
He looked at the Mountain Eagle in front of him. When this guy clearly expressed some packaged high-sounding theories in a simple, straightforward and vulgar language, he realized that there was a reason why he had not been able to make it to the top until today.

It is unlikely to achieve all the things I just said. After all, the big guys will not act according to the wishes of a small pawn, and there will always be discounts on various links.

Sometimes this kind of discount is not even intentional, just like the finance department always finds fault with card reimbursement...

They all know that the money will have to be given out eventually, but they just want to make things difficult for you and ask you to go to your superiors or boss to say hello.

This not only satisfies the superior's desire for control and increases communication, but also makes it appear that one is doing something!
Of course, this behavior can only be regarded as a waste of resources and not corruption, but if this phenomenon continues to increase, corruption will naturally arise.

Because you want to complete your project, in order to avoid having your budget blocked by your superiors, you will inevitably falsify some of your expenses to give your superiors room to stab you.

Once the act of "false reporting" begins, many opinions will arise surrounding the funds generated by "false reporting".

This is still based on doing practical things, and only focusing on the falsely reported parts.

When this situation develops to the point where many projects are simply fake!

This exists in any country or large enterprise in the world, and it is not uncommon!

Because they are greedy for public money!
Kobe was baptized by traditional political correctness. He has seen a lot of bastards, but he never thought that one day he would manipulate politics like those bastards.

Now Shanying has planned a very clear path for him, and volunteered to help him shoulder the "hardest part"...

Kobe looked at Shanying with a strange expression. He hesitated for a long time and said, "I think if I listen to you, I will go to hell sooner or later!"

Shanying put his arm around Kobe's shoulders and walked into the temporary command center that had just started operating. He helped him arrange the task of collecting all of Miranda's information to construct a trajectory of action and compare this trajectory with the trajectory of the Angel of Death.

Looking at the energetic and busy technical analysts, Shanying said with a smile: "See, they were like headless flies a few minutes ago, but now they can quickly get into work.

You are now a leader, and you are leading a group of people who don’t particularly trust your abilities.

If you want to make them feel convinced, you don’t treat them to drinks and pizza, but assign them work, find the highlights in their work results, and praise them generously.

The core of power is to create differentiated resources and capabilities!

You don’t have any resources at the moment, but motivating with words is also a kind of ability!
As for whether the work you assigned is useful, no one knows until the results come out, and you don't need to care.

When the road ahead is unknown, a qualified leader should not stay stuck in the same place, but lead his subordinates forward...

There is always a lot of luck involved in making judgments, but the ability to lead a team forward is real!
Winning big in favorable circumstances is not a skill. Even a pig can fly if you stand in the right place!

But the one who can stabilize the team in adversity and minimize risks and losses is the truly awesome leader!
You are in adversity, even desperate situation!

The people above you know your situation, so you can yell at them to send you whatever you want.

Just make the call in front of these people so that everyone can hear...

Being able to get away with yelling at the boss is a deterrent to the people below you!"

Kobe looked at Shanying who was almost teaching him how to run a large team. His expression became more and more strange as he said, "If I can get the funds, should I let you handle it?"

Shanying nodded heavily and said, "That's right!"

As he spoke, Shanying looked at Kobe's alert expression, sighed and said, "Are you a fool?

If you want to get enough support and resources and want to maintain your team, you must follow the logic of the American system.

You designed a fairly advanced system for yourselves, and then the development of society and human greed led you to create a set of supporting corruption mechanisms around this "advanced system."

Without someone to introduce you, you might even give money to the wrong person and end up in jail.

I have a political middleman friend who is now a peripheral consultant to the White House. Through him, I mediated the Snowden issue and brought the Russian and American intelligence organizations to a negotiating table.

I have done a lot of things, and in fact promoted the signing of the Minsk Agreement. Sometimes I even feel like I am a genius. It would be a shame if Russia's boss Putin didn't give me a certificate of honor for my efforts.

Someone like me is willing to stand up and offer suggestions on how to build a team for you, and to help you get promoted and get a raise.

I am even willing to take up arms to help you solve the problem. I just want you to give me the funds to manage on your behalf. Is my request excessive? Have I ever asked you for a penny more than you paid?"

Kobe looked at the slightly ferocious expression of the mountain eagle and felt his heart skip a few beats. When he realized that he was moved, he subconsciously felt that he seemed to be a few steps closer to the abyss.

It's not the despair of going to hell, but the excitement of dancing on the edge of a knife.

You have to know that when he came to Alaska, he had almost nothing except three trusted partners.

All of Alaska’s colleagues who were in charge of the work knew that he was most likely here to take the blame!

And now, he has become the top leader of the Alaska Virus Incident Task Force. Although the first batch of support from the top has not yet arrived, he is indeed leading everyone at this moment.

Seeing the Eagle staring at him seriously, Kobe hesitated and said, "I need to hear the details before I can make a decision..."

Shanying patiently pulled Kobe to the room where Barry was interrogated. He took a few bottles of drinks and walked into the room and handed one to Barry. Then he signaled the guards in the room to uncuff Barry and asked the guards to take him out for a walk.

Barry looked at the powerful Eagle in surprise, and then said to Kobe in a flattered manner: "Don't worry, I will never run away. I have good hacking skills. If the Department of Homeland Security needs it, I can help for free."

Kobe was stunned by Shanying's behavior. He nodded to signal the guard to take Barry out to let him breathe, then turned off the camera in the interrogation room, looked at Shanying and said, "Shanying..."

Shanying waved his hand to signal Kobe to sit down, then he walked around the room, stroking his chin, and said, "As for the deeper things inside you, I can't explain it to you in a short time...

But you must know CICA International Group!"

Kobe listened, nodded slightly and said: "Of course, everyone in the intelligence agency knows CICA. They are one of the largest contractors of the Department of Homeland Security..."

Shanying looked at Kobe's blank look and sneered, "Have you seen CICA's financial report?"

Kobe was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "Who cares about this kind of thing?"

Shanying opened a bottle of drink and took a sip, then said, "As we all know, CICA does half of the work of the Department of Homeland Security, but their total revenue for the four quarters last year was only $33 billion, and their announced full-year profit was only $1.6 million!
They are participants in the PRISM program and are still maintaining some of the hardware to help you monitor the telephone and Internet communications of ordinary Americans, while using keyword technology to screen suspects for your investigation.

They are only responsible for technical maintenance. All equipment hardware and software updates require the U.S. government to pay extra money to purchase them. Such a company only has an annual net profit of about 5%. Don’t you think it’s a bit strange?
Who would do business with the US government if the profit is not 10 times?

I have read some of the documents stolen by Snowden. CICA International Group, a long-established contractor, is actually an interest transit station. The list of its shareholders is very scary.

But even with this intimidating list of shareholders, it only managed to wring out about $33 billion in contracts from the Department of Homeland Security.

Man, the Department of Homeland Security's annual budget is $1030 billion. They have too much money to spend, and they need the right projects and channels to spend the money, otherwise next year's budget review will cut their budget.

To spend money, they will treat satellites as toys!

In order to spend money, they will make up all kinds of reasons to waste funds, including spying on some innocent people...

The agents in charge of surveillance don’t even know that a cup of coffee they drink in the surveillance car may cost thousands of dollars.

If it involves renting a house and purchasing new surveillance equipment, the cost may be even more outrageous!
Man, the Department of Homeland Security has endless projects to do because America is so hated…

But at the same time, they need high-quality projects to help them spend their money wisely.

CICA has only 15 technical consultants permanently stationed in the Department of Homeland Security, and the average annual salary of these 15 people is only $8. The $33 billion is almost pure profit!
Of course, CICA also has some other intelligence projects and corporate projects, and it is through these projects that it transfers benefits to people on the shareholder list.

There is a very complicated path for the flow of wealth here, and I can’t explain it clearly at the moment.

I just want to tell you that you now have a high-quality project in your hands that you can spend a lot of money on!
Angel of Death, Isis, Edward Foundation!
You can't limit yourself to the role of an agent charging into battle. You have to think beyond your limitations and create a new profit transfer center with this project as the center, so that the money wasted on sky-high priced toilet paper, coffee, printing paper, and toilet lids can be spent in the right places.

You are not corrupt, you are protecting the national security of the United States!"

Kobe stared at the Eagle in amazement. He didn't understand how the Angel of Death, Isis, and Edward Foundation became big projects...

"So you would set up a company like CICA, and then you would be the profit transfer center, right?"
