Chapter 1157: The plane worth 00,000 was thrown away

Li Changheng roughly knew what Benjamin was thinking, and he even knew in his heart that after Benjamin was re-elected, his thoughts might change in the first two or three years.

But capital countries are like this. Everyone just uses each other. When Benjamin needs himself, he must eat the benefits first.

Therefore, Banks quickly took over the position of the head of the DEA, and Robert also became the federal prosecutor as he wished, and he also served in this enviable and important position in the Southern District of New York.

It can be said that as long as Robert makes a few big news, he can easily run for the state legislature in the Southern District after he resigns from the position of inspector.

And then once again launched an impact on the positions of representatives and senators.

In a way, Robert is demoted because he has less power and a longer road ahead.

But he couldn't help it that this was his own choice, and if Benjamin, the prosecutor of the Southern District of New York, hadn't signed the appointment letter himself, he would have to spend several years in the Ministry of Justice before he could get the chance to be independent.

-----

It can be said that this attack on flour merchants has benefited everyone, except for the gang forces that were destroyed in the United States.

Benjamin and pro-action politicians get more prestige.

Needless to say, Li Changheng, Morgan Stanley and Citigroup also got the oil field as they wished, and a farm covering an area of ​​3,400 acres by the way.

But flour merchants seem to have lost a lot, but as the price of flour doubled, the retail price of a meal of flour in the United States rose from about 10 million US dollars before to 30 million US dollars.

Banks, who took over as the head of the DEA, was a little bit complacent at first, but he became overwhelmed within a few days.

In the past, when flour merchants used ships, submarines, or even planes to transport goods, these transport ships would still drive back.

But now, in just one week, there have been reports from various parts of the southern United States that after the planes of the flour merchants landed, they actually returned the planes while transporting the goods.

Does this count as one foot taller than the devil?

After Li Changheng heard the news, he couldn't help but smile wryly.

I knew something was going to happen, but I didn't expect it to be a change in transportation mode.

However, this also made him feel at ease. After all, this is not an act of revenge by the flour merchants. It is the US government that should be troubled.

As for the DEA, after assigning the responsibility to the border police, the FBI, and the Army radar unit, everyone will face the board together, and the responsibility will be much smaller.

Moreover, border air security is not the DEA's task.

According to information from Texas, the plane was a medium-sized biplane propeller plane.

After taking off from Colombia, when flying along the Central American countries, basically there is no need to worry about being detected by radar.

When passing through Mexico, as long as the altitude is raised to 10,000 meters, even if someone finds it, the modified passenger plane itself can easily pass the customs.

Even because this happened for the first time, the United States did not send a patrol plane to follow it, or asked the propeller plane to land at the designated airport.

When the plane landed at a private airport, more than a dozen pickup trucks suddenly rushed onto the runway, took away the flour, and abandoned the plane, and the airport noticed an abnormal alarm.

By the time the airport security took control of the plane, people and cargo had long since disappeared.

So put the responsibility on the DEA, and some of the lawsuits were filed.

The question now is how to prevent it and at the same time find out who is the mastermind.

And how many tons of flour were smuggled in this time.

It will take time to prevent and identify the mastermind, and based on the weight of the plane and the fuel required for the voyage, there will be at least 3 tons of flour.

If you take some risks, 4 tons is not impossible.

In other words, after the goods are taken away by the local forces in the United States, they will be sold for 90 million to 120 million US dollars.

The price of that propeller plane is 2 million US dollars.

This is still based on the price of a new aircraft. For an old aircraft, you can buy it for 1.5 million.

All of a sudden, the entire United States was shocked by the news.

Benjamin was so furious that he called Banks.

Then Li Changheng heard that Banks had been scolded for half an hour, but he didn't dare to refute Benjamin at all.

After all, although the DEA is controlled by Li Changheng, legally this department is restricted and appointed by the head, just like the CIA.

And during the critical period of the election, even Li Changheng could only appease Banks when there was such a big mistake.

Then donated $1 million to Benjamin's election office with various funds and lobbying agencies.

As for HL Media, at most they could only favor Benjamin, instead of standing behind him as if they were in a ring.

But there are pros and cons to everything.

The DEA and FBI can take the opportunity to lobby politicians and get more funds to use in expanding manpower and patrol aircraft and other equipment.

Even expanded powers in law enforcement.

Surprisingly, the biggest profits are airlines such as Pan Am that mainly fly international routes, and manufacturers of various jet airliners.

The reason is simple. Due to inflation, the price of a 747 has risen from 30 million when Li Changheng bought the 707 as a private jet to the current 36 million US dollars.

Even the 707 has increased from the original 3 million to about 4 million.

Moreover, the price is not the most important.

When 747 and other jet planes land, the requirements for the venue are not what ordinary airports can meet.

That is to say, with fewer propeller airliners, the market for giants such as Boyin and Pan Am will expand.

As for whether the Flour Chamber of Commerce will continue to use small jets, it will wait for border air patrols and radar and other equipment to increase.

The probability of any aircraft being detected will increase.

The cost of a few hundred thousand to one or two million is nothing to flour merchants.

But the transportation capacity is only a few hundred kilograms, and it seems to be possible to earn millions of dollars in one trip.

But this price is the retail price after arriving in the United States, and the purchase price in Colombia is not that high.

Moreover, according to the ~lightnovelpub.net~ first proposed by Pablo, as long as the goods are not handed over to the collaborators, all losses if caught will be calculated by him.

Small planes just don't seem worthwhile.

Li Changheng soon received Boyin's invitation, and it was no surprise that Boyin's purpose was to lobby the US government to introduce restrictions on the routes of propeller airliners.

Even manufacturers such as Boyin and aviation giants such as Pan Am are still thinking about not being allowed to manufacture medium-sized propeller airliners.

Li Changheng had no reason to refuse Bo Yin's request, and besides, Bo Yin's influence in the military and political circles was not small.

Pan Am even claims to be able to influence the US aviation industry and the existence of all trade union forces.

After dozens of politicians proposed new proposals, the stock prices of giants such as Boeing and Pan Am undoubtedly began to rise.

Then, in the research and development of jet airliners, the life of McDonnell Douglas, which went astray, began to be sad.
