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

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

But capitalist countries are like this. Everyone just uses each other. When Benjamin needs himself, it must be the first to eat the benefits.

Therefore, Banks quickly and smoothly took over the position of head of the DEA, and Robert became a 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 will easily be able to run for the seat of state legislator in the Southern District after he resigns as the prosecutor.

And then once again launched an impact on the positions of the House of Representatives and Senators.

In a way, Robert is demoted because his power is less and the road ahead is longer.

But he couldn't stand it was his own choice, and if the attorney for the Southern District of New York hadn't personally signed the appointment letter, he would have to spend years in the SFA department before he could get the chance to be on his own.

This action against flour merchants can be said to have benefited from top to bottom, except for those gangs that were destroyed in the United States.

Benjamin and politicians who endorsed the action, gained greater popularity.

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

The flour merchants seem to have suffered huge losses, but as the price of flour has tripled, the retail price of a meal of flour in the United States has risen from about US$10 million to 30 million.

Banksy, who took over as the head of DEA, was just a little complacent, but within a few days, he was overwhelmed.

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

But now, in just one week, there have been reports from all over the southern part of the United States that after the planes of flour merchants landed, the planes were returned while the goods were being transported away.

Does this count as one foot taller than the other?

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

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

However, this also reassured him. After all, this is not a revenge action by the flour merchants. It is the U.S. government that should be troubled.

As for the DEA, after putting the blame on the Border Police, the FBI, and the Army Radar Unit, and everyone gets slapped together, the responsibility will be much less.

Moreover, border air security is not the task of the DEA.

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

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

When passing through Mexico, as long as the altitude is raised to an altitude of 10,000 meters, even if someone finds out, the aircraft that is a modified passenger aircraft can easily pass the customs.

Even because this was the first time this happened, the US 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 then the airport noticed an abnormality and called the police.

By the time the airport security took control of the plane, the people and goods would have long since disappeared.

So put the blame on the DEA, and some of the lawsuits have been fought.

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 takes time to prevent and identify the mastermind, and according to the load of the plane and the fuel needed 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 to 120 million US dollars.

The price of the propeller plane was $2 million.

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

Suddenly, the whole country was shocked by the news.

Benjamin was furious and a phone call to Banksy.

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

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

In the critical period of the election, with such a big leak, even Li Changheng could only appease Banks.

He then donated $1 million to Benjamin's election office through various funds and lobbying agencies.

As for HL Media, at most, it can only favor Benjamin, rather than standing behind him directly in the ring.

But everything has good and bad.

The DEA and FBI can take the opportunity to lobby politicians and get more money to spend on expanding manpower and equipment such as patrol aircraft.

and even expand the powers of law enforcement.

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

The reason is very 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 US$36 million.

Even the 707 aircraft has risen from 3 million at the beginning to about 4 million.

Also, price is not the most important thing.

When a 747 and other jet planes land, the requirements for the site are not what ordinary airports can do.

That is to say, the number of propeller aircraft will decrease, and the market of 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 more air patrols at the border, as well as radar and other equipment.

The probability of any aircraft being spotted becomes greater.

The cost of a set of hundreds of thousands to one or two million is trivial for flour merchants.

But the transport capacity is only a few hundred kilograms, and it seems to be able to make a lot of millions in one trip.

But this price is the retail price after arriving in the United States~lightnovelpub.net~ Colombia's purchase price is not so high.

And according to Pablo's first proposal, as long as the goods are not handed over to the collaborators, all the losses if they are caught will be counted by his rules.

Small planes just don't seem worth it.

Li Changheng soon received an invitation from Boyin, 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 that they are not allowed to manufacture medium-sized propeller airliners.

Li Changheng has no reason to refuse Bo Yin's request, and besides, Bo Yin's influence is not small in the military and the political arena.

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

After dozens of politicians put forward new proposals, the stock prices of giants such as Boyin and Pan American undoubtedly began to rise.

Then in the research and development of jet airliners, the days of McDonnell Douglas, which took a devious path, began to be sad.
