Chapter 224: The So-Called Truth I
In the high-end bar on the second floor of the hotel, because it was late at night, there were not many people left in the bar, and it looked empty, even the bartender at the bar was dozing off from time to time with the desk, but even so, Lu Jiadong and Blomberg, who were sitting in the remote corner of the bar, did not have the slightest intention of going back to rest, especially the slight red light on Blomberg's face!
"Lu, there's still one thing I don't understand!" Blomberg rotated the wine glass full of whiskey in his hand, then stopped the wine glass for a moment, and then raised his head with an uninhibited look in his unruly eyes revealing the shrewdness of an arms dealer, looking at Lu Jiadong, who was sitting opposite and just picking up the wine glass and preparing to drink, with a look of curiosity and confusion, he asked Lu Jiadong:
"I'm still wondering, how do you know so sure Charlie Wilson is the right fit?"
"What? This councillor has subdued you with his sharp eloquence again?" Lu Jiadong took a sip of wine, then put the glass down, and a playful smile flashed in his determined eyes:
"Or did he take the initiative to confide in you again? Anyway, I just want to know, how is this Charlie Wilson now? Is he still so troubled that he doesn't dare to agree?"
As soon as Lu Jiadong's words fell, Blomberg replied with surprise: "Yes, all yes! Charlie Wilson seems to have changed since yesterday afternoon, and when he comes back after going out today, his thinking and attitude have simply taken a 180-degree turn, and he will not only agree to all the things I have worked hard to persuade before, but also hire me as his adviser to assist him in returning to China to carry out lobbying activities!"
"So fast!" Lu Jiadong was also surprised to hear Blomberg's words, he didn't expect Charlie Wilson's attitude to change so quickly, after all, he would meet Blomberg at this bar around midnight these days. Judging from the information received by the Israeli, Charlie Wilson did not listen to Blomberg's persuasion at all.
Even if Blomberg put all the benefits in front of Charlie Wilson, this timid and irresponsible parliamentarian never dared to nod his head for fear that he would be eaten alive by his opponents at home.
But Charlie Wilson is a career politician after all, and he eats with one mouth. Coupled with his skillful and realistic acting skills, he often made Blomberg a shrewd arms dealer in the international arms market speechless, and sometimes Charles Wilson preemptively shifted the topic elsewhere before Blomberg could speak.
What is the young past, the fireworks, and the situation in the world are all very enthusiastic, and it seems that the two have a very deep friendship, but every sentence or even every word in it is not what Blomberg wants to expect, and it is typical that Wang Gu talks about it left and right, and because of this, Lu Jiadong calls this kind of conversation "pouring out his grievances".
But Blomberg's patience was gradually exhausted in this endless outpouring. Just last night, Blomberg told Lu Jiadong that he was completely fed up, and booked a ticket for the afternoon of the next day, ready to leave, Lu Jiadong was also a little helpless, and even began to suspect that this Charlie Wilson was not the famous "Cold War hero" in history, but just a duplicate name.
Because of this, Lu Jiadong did not interfere too much with Blomberg's choice, but just hoped that Blomberg would make a final effort. Although he said this, Lu Jiadong did not have too many illusions. Unexpectedly, in just one day, Charlie Wilson's attitude has changed so drastically, but in addition to being surprised, a person suddenly flashed in Lu Jiadong's mind:
"Could it be that Musharraf met Charlie Wilson so soon?"
"It's Musharraf!" Listening to Lu Jiadong's words, Blomberg took a soft sip of the wine, and then lowered the glass. The look on his face is even more meaningful:
"And the assistant director of the CIA in charge of South Asian affairs!"
"Assistant Director of the CIA?"
"That's right!" Blomberg nodded, "Fortunately, I have a close relationship with this guy, so he told me exactly what happened!"
As he spoke, Blomberg paused, and then couldn't help but raise his head to look at Lu Jiadong, who was sitting opposite him, with an indescribable look in his eyes. The tone also becomes intriguing:
"Lu, your analysis at the time was correct, there are indeed many people in the United States who want to intervene in the Afghan war in the form of aid, but they lack a legitimate condition for intervention, just like the catalyst that Lu said before that can mobilize the United States, and this catalyst, whether it is the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence Agency, the CIA, or the conservative bigwigs in the United States, they all fell in love with Charlie Wilson, a political little foot who came to Pakistan for the sake of hyping up a gimmick!"
Blomberg's remarks seemed to be a step-by-step statement, but the overtones were clear: how Lu Jiadong, who was sitting across from him, was sure that Charlie Wilson was the most suitable person, when Lu Jiadong first told him about it.
Blomberg agreed very resolutely and simply on the surface, but from his heart he was always skeptical, but he still had to deal with some things in Pakistan and would not leave until a few days, so he simply tried according to Lu Jiadong's method, in case he succeeded, there would still be a considerable profit, even if he didn't succeed, he would grind his tongue anyway, and it would not cost much to invest.
Because of this, Blomberg went to Charlie Wilson's open and honest persuasion, but after being rejected by Charlie Wilson again and again, Blomberg's little confidence was instantly shattered, and he even began to wonder whether Lu Jiadong really thought and researched or took it for granted because of Charlie Wilson's identity as a congressman.
However, Blomberg's thoughts came to an abrupt end this afternoon, because Charlie Wilson's mood changed, especially after the assistant director of the CIA's South Asian Affairs Bureau, who had an extraordinary relationship with him, confided in him the truth.
Whether it is the CIA, the Pakistani Intelligence Agency, or the bigwigs of conservative forces in the United States, they even thought of going with Lu Jiadong, and not only that, the CIA did not officially talk to Charlie Wilson about the matter until yesterday, and handed over a joint letter from several conservative bigwigs.
However, Lu Jiadong correctly judged the development of the form a few days ago, you must know that this kind of private transaction is the most secret, even if those people in the United States who are well-versed in the sky may not know, how did Lu Jiadong, a Chinese who is tens of thousands of kilometers away, know?
