Chapter 348: Doing Business with the Pentagon [Second Update]
If you ask anyone in the street, "Which country in the world is the richest?" Regardless of the age or educational level of the person asked, eight out of ten will answer "United States". The United States, as the world's largest economy, has a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) reaching over 14 trillion dollars every year in recent years. In contrast, the GDP of Huaxia exceeds only slightly over 30 trillion Huaxia currency, which is one-third of that of the United States, showcasing the immense gap between the two.
The United States spends over 800 billion dollars on military expenditure each year. The Pentagon, as the headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense, could be said to be the world's largest purchaser. Whether it be defense companies or non-defense enterprises, none wouldn't covet the purchase orders from the Pentagon.
