"Don't you think!" Locke refused without hesitation.

The current Locke Kingdom, although on the surface, is much weaker than when Chuck ruled.

Not to mention that the GDP of the Locke Kingdom in the previous year fell by at least 50% compared with previous years, not to mention, the current army of the Locke Kingdom, in addition to the less than 30,000 troops left on the border, is left with only 50,000 troops under the current Locke. And of these 50,000 people, 10,000 are recruits, and the other 10,000 are the remnants of Kucha Khan and Kuber Rosen!

But in fact, after several successive incidents of mercenaries controlling internal affairs, Locke has completely realized that if a country is only rich, but its military strength cannot keep up, sooner or later there will be problems.

Just like the Rock Kingdom during Chuck's reign before, even though the per capita GDP can be squeezed into the top ten in the world, but in the end, it is only a few thousand, less than 10,000 mercenaries, and the army of the Rock Kingdom can be darkened. This kind of embarrassing thing, Locke really doesn't want to happen inside the Locke Kingdom again.

And the peacekeeping force is such a thing, the stay is short, and it will not play any role. But if you stay for a long time, you're afraid you'll be another mercenary who can rival it, no, it's even more so than a mercenary.

This is also for the sake of the fact that even though the Chinese peacekeeping troops have always been diligent and hardworking within the Rock Kingdom. But Chuck still always thought about the reason why he would drive the Chinese peacekeepers out of the land of the Rock Kingdom as soon as possible after strengthening the troops of the Rock Kingdom.

And now, the United States, a country whose reputation is many times worse than that of China, is even thinking of sending peacekeeping troops to the Locke Kingdom, which Locke absolutely cannot tolerate.

When China sent peacekeeping troops to settle in, on the one hand, it was because Yang Xiaotian was the only one who could relieve Chuck's illness, and on the other hand, because the Rock Kingdom at that time really needed the peacekeepers to come and support.

However, the current Rock Kingdom, even though the total number of troops is less than 100,000, but in terms of combat effectiveness, it far exceeds the troops of the original Rock Palace.

Only an army that has experienced the bloody storm can be regarded as a real army. And the current army of the Rock Kingdom, although it is not yet a strong army, has the potential to become a strong soldier after all.

Locke believes that as long as there is enough time, five years at most, no, as long as three years, he can build the army of the entire Locke Kingdom into an iron-blooded army!

At that time, with this iron-blooded army, Locke has absolute confidence to complete the plan that Chuck wanted to complete, but because of the low combat power of the Locke Kingdom army, he had no choice but to give up!

But now, the United States wants to become the country that will succeed China and send troops to the Locke Kingdom, and Locke has no hesitation and directly refuses this kind of thing.

Now the Rock Kingdom no longer needs peacekeeping troops.

According to intelligence, tens of thousands of mercenaries who besieged the oil well in the last time were overshadowed. Tens of thousands of people eventually fled back, and it seems that there were not even a thousand.

So now the mercenaries are only focused on two aspects - one is to recuperate and make up for the losses as soon as possible.

The second is naturally to dispatch troops quickly, which will lead to the trouble of the Chinese peacekeeping forces caused by all this.

Therefore, Locke believes that in a short period of time, mercenaries will definitely not have time to interfere in the internal affairs of Locke's kingdom.

Therefore, even at the beginning, Locke was worried that the Chinese Congress would send an envoy to question him because of the heavy losses of the peacekeeping forces, so he came up with the idea of trying to contact and cooperate with the United States.

But not long after the idea had just swung up, Locke gave it up.

The price to be paid for this idea is too great, and the current Rock Kingdom can no longer withstand so many turmoil. And, more importantly, the reputation of the United States is really not very good.

"You really don't think about it?" said Silver Fox looked at Locke playfully. "If that evidence is released, it won't be so easy for you to inherit the throne of the Locke Kingdom at that time. ”

"You can go and announce it, but we can try to see if the citizens of Locke's kingdom will choose to believe you as a foreigner, or will they choose to believe in a new king who has been transformed by Allah and wants to strive for strength?" Locke sneered. "Tell you, don't threaten me, I'm not afraid of your tactics. ”

"Huh...... It was just a joke. Seeing that Locke faced his threat, he didn't even care. Immediately, he gave up on this idea.

Now the United States is very short of things, because among the three major chaebols, the Morse family is the main oil importer. About 60 percent of the oil imported and exported by the United States relies on people in the Morse family, or some oil talents in their family's industries.

And now, the Chester family has collapsed, although because of Morse's decision, the Chester family did not suffer a catastrophe, but after all, the Chester family, which could dominate the United States, is still gone.

Similarly, the business that was started by their family shrank a lot at the moment of the collapse of the Chester family. Other areas are fine, but energy is one of the most important topics in the world today.

Now, if the energy problem is not solved as soon as possible, oil has been and will continue to be one of the most important energy sources in the world.

And now, with the collapse of the Chester family, the amount of oil that the United States needs to import has immediately shrunk considerably. Now, if we can reach a cooperation agreement with the Rock Kingdom, the current situation of oil scarcity will be improved a lot.

It's just that now all of this still needs Silver Fox to negotiate with Locke.

When negotiating, momentum is important. And like now, the silver fox wants to strike first and overwhelm Locke in momentum. It's just that what I didn't expect was that Locke not only didn't get hit, but had a tendency to get angry.

Silver Fox had no choice but to apologize immediately.

Even if he knew that if he apologized now, it would be equivalent to losing to Locke in momentum.

But compared to the rest of the things, after all, it is better to take down Locke as soon as possible, and after he nods and agrees to cooperate with the United States, the rest of the discussion can be slowly continued.

"The current Locke Kingdom is worried about internal and external troubles, and compared to this, King Locke should know better than us outsiders, right?" Silver Fox smiled slightly, and then asked. "As far as I know, in the siege of the mercenaries, only the cooking squad and the medical team have been killed, and there are a few soldiers who are too seriously injured and have completely lost their combat effectiveness. If China knew about this kind of thing, would it continue to blackmail your country and demand further pressure on oil prices?"

"What do you want to say?" Locke's brow furrowed suddenly.

What the silver fox said, in fact, Locke didn't know. But he believed that in such a big matter, the silver fox would not be guilty of lying to himself. After all, with his current status, it is really not difficult to investigate something somewhere.

If Silver Fox lied about this, Locke could guarantee that he would let the Yankees know in minutes why the flowers were so red!

"What I'm trying to say, it's actually quite simple. In the face of the harsh criticism that China may present at any time, as well as some unequal treaties that the other side may propose, your country needs a country that can suppress the scene as a partner for cooperation. Even if Huaguo really makes a fuss, King Locke, you don't need to be too nervous, do you?"

"This ......" I have to say that the eloquence of the silver fox is really good.

After a simple verbal exchange, Silver Fox realized that Locke was definitely not a good person.

To deal with this kind of existence that eats soft and does not eat hard, it is necessary to pay attention to the sharpness of the words.

In the face of this kind of person, if you are still blindly forced, it will definitely not work. After all, the biggest characteristic of people who eat soft and not hard is that their ears are soft.

If the words are too sharp, it will only arouse the disgust of the other party. The better the eloquence, the better the counter-effect.

And now, the words that Silver Fox said are all for Locke's consideration, in this way, although he knows that Silver Fox must be thinking about something inside Locke's kingdom, Locke's face has gradually eased a lot.

"This is not a cow, looking at the whole world, it can steadily suppress China. Apart from us, the United States, what other country deserves this title?" said Silver Fox with a sincere smile on his face. "Even if it is when they are angry, and if the army is dispatched, as long as we are in the United States to suppress the formation, how can those Chinese people who have been beaten up and only know infighting be our opponents?"

"This ......," Locke hesitated a little.

"King Locke can wait slowly, but within twenty-four hours as soon as possible, and it's all about it. The silver fox smiled and said yes. "Time is so precious now, many young and beautiful officials have taken a vacation, and only people like me continue to stick to their posts. ”

"Okay, no need to talk nonsense, I need to think, you guys leave first. Locke's face was much darker.

"Well, our people, I guess we're there now, right? If you have any questions, just consult with him, he's our American representative, James. ”
