"And then ......" Admiral Linus smiled meaningfully: "Even if you are not held accountable for the massacre of the YN Navy, even if it is smuggling the active armaments of country M, this is a very serious accusation." ”

"What do you want? Send me to court?" Cang Hao said nonchalantly: "If that's the case, you won't invite me to the office, isn't that superfluous!"

"You're so confident you're right?"

"It's not just about self-confidence. Cang Hao looked at Admiral Linus with deep eyes: "Since there are no outsiders now, you might as well say it directly if you have something to say!"

"Okay......" Admiral Linus observed Cang Hao, and after a moment, he took a long breath: "I already said it just now, I know what you want." ”

"I want equipment. ”

"Of course. Admiral Linus bowed slightly: "That's what I'm talking about, you met with the Malacca Sea Wolves to buy this batch of equipment." ”

"Are you interrogating me as a judge?"

"Of course not. Admiral Linus smiled slightly, turned around and went to the wine cabinet to pour himself another glass of wine: "I can also give you what you want, and just like your country's Taobao website, it will be delivered to your door, of course, you can't give a bad review." ”

"Did I hear me right?" Cang Hao frowned slightly: "You want to sell me the equipment?"

Admiral Linus did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "Isn't it good for you to just change the trading partner?"

"Of course. Cang Hao shrugged his shoulders: "If I can buy it from you, it's better than dealing with those pirates." ”

Admiral Linus nodded slightly: "It's best that you can think so." ”

"However, even if the transaction partner changes, the nature of the matter is still the same. Cang Hao smiled coldly: "It's all illegal!"

Admiral Linus nodded again: "That's right. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, you're planning to sell this batch of equipment privately, and this is also true, right?"

"Yes. Admiral Linus frankly admitted: "You probably don't know that all the equipment of the pre-positioned troops at sea is insured by a military insurance company. Now this batch of equipment has been counted as a loss, and the insurance company will compensate all according to the insured amount, but this batch of equipment has now been recovered, which makes it very difficult for everyone to do. ”

"So you're going to let this batch of equipment disappear completely?"

"You need equipment, I'll give it to you, and then you give me money, and it's a good deal for everyone. Admiral Linus slowly shook his wine glass and looked at Cang Hao playfully: "What do you think?"

The insurance industry in country M is very developed, and it covers the national defense system, not only military personnel can enjoy various insurances, but even military equipment can also be insured under certain circumstances.

Equipment in the war zone is facing the possibility of being destroyed at any time, and generally few insurance companies are willing to make this kind of loss-making business, but the materials in a state of inventory such as the pre-positioned troops at sea are accepted and insured by professional military insurance companies.

Admiral Linus's words are logically correct, and in the end it is only the financial oligarchy of the insurance company that loses, but Cang Hao always feels that Admiral Linus has other purposes.

Cang Hao reminded: "I have already said that this is illegal. ”

"I know. Admiral Linus smiled: "There is such a thing as law, sometimes you have to go above it to do great things." If I'm not mistaken, in the first war of Pripyat, Cang Hao, you have violated countless international laws and the domestic laws of relevant countries, but if you don't do this, the nuclear bomb has already exploded at this time, do you think you have done something wrong?"

Cang Hao smiled sarcastically: "But I didn't have too much selfishness when I went on an expedition to Pripyat!"

"I see what you mean. Admiral Linus still smiled: "Do you think I am suspected of corruption and sold my equipment to enrich my own pockets?"

Cang Hao pursed his lips: "This is what I said!"

"I'll tell you something. Admiral Linas's expression suddenly became solemn, and he exhaled a long breath: "Since 1994, country M has implemented a new military reform, and a large number of troops at all levels have been reduced, and at the same time, more and more overseas combat tasks have been handed over to military contractors. ”

Cang Hao nodded: "Go on." ”

"Then here's the problem......" Admiral Linus spread his hands: "Military contractors, acronym PMC, these people fight for money, you know I have always looked down on mercenaries." But even the cheapest mercenaries have an annual salary of 100,000 US dollars, and if it is some powerful company, their mercenaries will receive an additional allowance of several hundred dollars per hour when they are in the war zone. In contrast, my people, that little income is too pitiful, and the only thing they can get is the honor of having a coffin covered with a national flag after they die in battle. ”

In fact, there are many kinds of mercenaries, and some mercenaries from third world countries are very cheap.

Some so-called military contractors are actually shady intermediaries, who hire cheap mercenaries to complete the tasks and take kickbacks with peace of mind.

Cang Hao was an underground mercenary back then, but he also took over such a job, and a military contractor was responsible for defending the Western Consulate, and after the military contractor took the money, he hired the Blood Lion mercenary to carry out the mission.

In any case, there is no cheap mercenary used by the government of country M, because country M has always been wealthy, and no matter what is expensive, it does not buy the right one, and the military contractors who work for country M also have various connections in Congress and the government.

The treatment of the soldiers of country M is already very high, at least the Chinese soldiers have no luxury, but compared with these military contractors, it is still very pitiful.

Cang Hao could understand why Admiral Linus was indignant: "You mean to say...... After you get this money, you use it to provide treatment for your subordinates?"

"That's right. Admiral Linus's expression was very serious: "I love my country very much, and I will be buried in my hometown after I die, unlike the officials of your country, who emigrated abroad after being greedy for money." Besides, I don't have any children, and now I'm getting old, so why do you think I want so much money?"

Cang Hao agreed without hesitation: "Happy cooperation." ”

"Wait a minute. Admiral Linus smiled slyly: "My price is not cheap, I don't accept the price you negotiated with the Malacca Sea Wolves before, you had better think about it first." ”

Cang Hao asked directly: "How much do you say first?"

Admiral Linus offered a price that was $5 million more than the price of the Malacca Seawolves, and the four-star admiral was dark enough to make a deal.

However, this price is still within the acceptable range of Canghao, and in addition, unlike the Malacca Sea Wolves, this business will be protected by the military of country M, and all the equipment will be sent to South Africa safe and sound.

If he had reached a cooperation with Chandrasekhar before, Cang Hao would have to worry all the time that this batch of equipment would have problems on the road.

On the other hand, working with Admiral Linus is also more complicated than on Chandrasekhar's side.

The Malacca Sea Wolves are an illegal pirate organization, but that's all, dealing with Admiral Linus involves very dangerous political factors.

The ghost only knows what Admiral Linus is calculating, Cang Hao estimates that if this deal involves the internal struggle of the high-level of country M, Admiral Linus's real purpose is not as simple as sending some subsidies to his brothers.

However, Cang Hao had no way not to agree, Admiral Linus knew too many things, and he also held Cang Hao's fate in his hands, if Cang Hao refused here, it was difficult to say what would happen next.

"Then it's a pleasure to work with. Admiral Linus was very satisfied, and raised his glass at Cang Hao: "There is a sentence, although it is redundant, I still have to say - our cooperation is illegal, I hope you can keep it secret, of course, there is no problem on my side!"

"I get that. ”

"This business is very dangerous to me...... Admiral Linus smiled deeply and said with a slight threat: "If you betray me, don't forget, even if country M doesn't do anything, the YN Navy will settle accounts with you!"

Cang Hao took a sip of wine: "If the news leaks, you and I will have to die without a place to bury." ”

"You pay a fifty percent deposit first. Admiral Linus's tone was really like that of a businessman: "Accept a check, or swipe a card, I don't worry that you will skip the check." Within seven days, the equipment will be shipped to South Africa, and you will pay the balance after you check it, and I am not afraid that you will pay the bill. ”

Admiral Linus's words were a bit arrogant, and what he meant was that he didn't care about the Blood Lion mercenaries at all, and of course he did have such strength.

Cang Hao just felt that he had to become stronger at this time: "A week is a bit long, right?"

"I can go right away. Admiral Linus shook his head with a wry smile: "But it's not that simple, this batch of equipment needs to be processed and all the numbers removed, making it impossible to judge the source." ”

"I see. Cang Hao sighed: "Then let's decide!"

"Of course, the money needs to be washed on my side......" After thinking for a moment, Admiral Linus said again: "If the cooperation goes smoothly this time, we will have a chance in the future." ”

Cang Hao touched the cup with Admiral Linus: "Happy cooperation." ”

"Thank you again. ”

"What did you thank me for this time, the battle in Pripyat, or did I give your brothers a subsidy?"

"This time it's to thank you for catching Chandrasekhar. Admiral Linus drank the wine from the cup and said hatefully, "He has killed many of my brothers, all of them very good young men, and I must avenge them." ”

Originally, Cang Hao thought that Chandrasekhar was useless, but he didn't expect that he could still send it out as a personal favor at this time: "What are you going to do with it?"

"He has no right to stand trial, and I will torture him in the most brutal way until he dies. As for the outside world, I will say that Chandrasekhar was shot and killed while we were fighting pirates......" Admiral Linus snorted lightly, and added: "These pirates are very fierce, and if it weren't for you, it would be difficult to capture them alive." ”
