I almost burst out laughing
Recently, Congressman Mike Waltz, a member of the US House of Representatives, held up a small plastic bag containing dozens of small pads, saying that these small pads can be processed by ordinary mechanics who have gone through high school, but they cost $90,000 to sell to the US military.
You heard it right, $90,000, $90,000.
According to the current exchange rate, 650,000 RMB per bag!
Gold is not so expensive
Of course, according to the naming conventions of the U.S. military, this thing is not called a liner, but an advanced precision miniaturized buffer system
On a certain treasure in China, this thing only costs a piece of six
This is a developed country, and the value of people's labor is high
You only sell 90,000 yuan for a car, and we sell 90,000 dollars for a bag of parts, this is the power of brand and high added value
And this person actually saved face, he said that the reason why it is expensive is that it can only be purchased from a single source, which means that it is too expensive to sell and not the person who purchases it is tired
I've seen people say that there are still normal congressmen in the United States who expose this kind of thing
Actually, no, the questioning official is not actually for the benefit of the Americans, but simply as a politician against another opponent in the camp
In fact, most of these "sky-high low-end consumable commodity procurement" news were broken by the US congressmen themselves, and they did this in order to cut the price of the military's military budget.
And every time this kind of thing comes out, the normal process is like this, the US military always procrastinates to investigate, and finally comes with a sentence "Oops, there is something wrong with the financial report calculation, where is there any corruption." ”
But if there is really a big problem that can't be suppressed, then someone will have to be unlucky, and it will definitely be indispensable to be investigated and sanctioned.
Our domestic media, every time they report this kind of thing, they will only stop at the point of "sky-high low-end goods", and the follow-up reports will not be cared for.
As for those pro-Western friends, they only believe in the subsequent financial explanations of the US military, and feel that our domestic media is making false reports and deliberately scandalizing the United States.
But is it really that clean and not corrupt in the U.S. military?
People are playing so far in finance that many of us can't understand it.
