"You want to recruit him?" Lin Rui frowned.

"Of course not, I just need him to do me a little favor. And you fulfilled this little request of mine, and I am very grateful. I owe you a favor this time. Aladdin chuckled, "Forget it, let's not talk about it." How about something else?"

"What else?" Lin Rui said as he looked at him.

"I know you're coming today, and you don't have any assignments at the moment, so I'd like to offer you a new assignment. Aladdin looked at Lin Rui and said.

"You want to hire us?" Lin Rui frowned.

Aladdin sighed, "No, I'm just acting as an introducer. The client is one of my clients. More than a month ago, they attacked American warships with anti-ship missiles. However, their level was too poor to miss. But these people don't know how to reflect on their poor training, and their weapons are also problematic. ”

"Attack a U.S. warship with a missile?" Lin Rui said in amazement, "You're not joking, are you?"

"Of course not. I have a good sense of humor, but I don't joke about business. Aladdin smiled and winked at Duncan.

Duncan handed a newspaper to Lin Rui, and after Lin Rui looked through it, it was now all in Arabic.

Aladdin smiled and said, "Sorry, this is the local newspaper, there is really no Chinese edition." ”

"Just tell me, what does this mean?" Lin Rui frowned.

"The USS Mason, a U.S. Navy destroyer operating in the Red Sea near Yemen, was hit by missiles. The attackers fired a total of two missiles, which failed to hit the target and fell into the sea. Aladdin said slowly.

"I've heard about it, and it's said that the Houthis in Yemen did it. Lin Rui nodded. "So, what do they want to hire us for? help them blow up this American warship?" he laughed mockingly.

"Yes. "Aladdin is serious.

Lin Rui was stunned, he originally just said it casually as a joke, but he didn't expect Aladdin to admit it.

"What are you kidding?" Lin Rui frowned, "Who would do this?"

"I'm not kidding, I'm serious. Aladdin said slowly.

"Are you serious? Do you really think that we will bomb and sink the US ** ship for some Houthi forces?" Lin Rui shook his head and said, "This is impossible." ”

"Of course it's not a mess of anything, it's just for the money, and they paid a lot of money this time. As long as you can take out the U.S. warships, the money is yours. Aladdin looked at Lin Rui and said.

"It can't be. Lin Rui shook his head and said, "Silver Wolf Michelle will not take on this task, the risk is too great." Black Island is a private military company registered in the United States with strict regulatory controls when it comes to accepting assignments. ”

"That's right, according to those regulations, your Black Island Company can't even fight directly, and can only provide security and logistics work. But in fact?" Aladdin whispered, "you always know best what you did. ”

"These are two different things entirely, and once we are found to have attacked the US military, the price we will have to pay is too great. This task is too crazy for Silver Wolf to agree to. Lin Rui shook his head and said.

"What if the Americans agree?" Aladdin said as he looked at Lin Rui.

"The Americans also agreed? They agreed to blow up their own warships, are they sick in the brain?" Lin Rui frowned.

"They're not sick, they're shrewd. The Saudis are one of the protagonists of the war in Yemen, and the Americans are their allies. The loss of an old warship for this purpose can not only win allies, but also put oneself in a favorable position of public opinion. The United States will continue to guarantee freedom of navigation around the world and will continue to use all necessary means to ensure the safety of ships and personnel. Aladdin smiled.

"What do you mean, this is a trap?" Lin Rui frowned.

"Yes. In general, the Houthis want to blow up the American warships in order to assert their authority. And the Americans wanted to do what they wanted, blow up their old warship, and then put themselves in a more advantageous position. enter, and can directly deter Yemen by force. Retirement, you can ask for funding to rebuild the ship.

The new president of the United States recently vowed to rebuild the depleted American military and remove budget constraints. Their biggest restriction at the moment is Congress.

The bombing of the warship was precisely an opportunity to show the US Congress that the existing equipment was already quite backward. With this event as a driving force, we will strive for a high military budget. Aladdin said slowly.

"Self-directed?" Lin Rui frowned.

"That's pretty much it, so this time it's ostensibly the Houthis hired you to bomb U.S. warships. But the U.S. military will be very cooperative in evacuating everyone and assisting you in blowing up the ship. And they'll pay you when the mission is over. Aladdin smiled.

"What kind of task is this?" Lin Rui frowned.

"Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? But the Houthis need to blow up a U.S. warship to boost morale. Announce to the rest of the countries that Lao Tzu dares to fight even the Americans, and Lao Tzu is not afraid of anything. And the U.S. military needs this superficial minor setback to satisfy their purpose of pressuring Congress to obtain high military spending and build a new type of ship. And you make money. Aladdin said slowly.

"So what can you get?" said Lin Rui suspiciously.

"I can win friends. I turned what would have been a loss for both sides into a situation where both sides benefited. Aladdin looked at Lin Rui and said.

"It's not a war, it's just a show. Lin Rui frowned. "If they want to be so secretive, why don't they cooperate to blow up the ship themselves?"

"First of all, they are not secretly coordinated, they are still enemies, and they are not all the way at all. And the Americans need something more professional to do this, and only then will those of his allies believe. Saying that the Houthis bombed the US warship, Saudi Arabia and other countries will definitely not believe it. The emaciated camel is also bigger than the horse, and no matter how much the US warship falls, it will not be blown up by a group of people of similar quality to the militia. But mercenaries are not easy to say. Aladdin whispered.

"So, this is a willingness to fight, a willingness to suffer, and there is such a strange thing?" Lin Rui frowned.

"It's such a strange thing. Now someone from the U.S. military side is talking about it in the office of Silver Wolf Michelle. He must be asking you to help. Aladdin whispered.

"It's weird. Lin Rui still couldn't believe it, he shook his head.

"It's not surprising to think about it. Aladdin said with a smile, "Propaganda is part of modern warfare, and they can get the effect they want through this." The essence of war is profit, as long as it is profitable, anything can be born. ”
