"Lu, my friend, are you sure you just said that it is not a fantasy?" In the café on the side of the hotel lobby, Bloomberg looked at Lu Jiadong, who was sitting opposite, sipping strong coffee, in surprise, his eyes were full of incredulity, in fact, since Lu Jiadong said the sentence "With this Mr. Charlie Wilson here, our chance to make a fortune is here".

Doubts lingered in Blomberg's mind, so he pulled Lu Jiadong to this café in order to inquire carefully, but after listening to Lu Jiadong's explanation, Bruberg not only did not solve the doubts in his heart, but felt that Lu Jiadong was a little whimsical:

"You're right, this Charlie Wilson is indeed a member of the US House of Representatives, and he has a certain degree of political influence compared to ordinary Americans, but what you don't know is that in Washington, where big bosses gather, there are so many people like Charlie Wilson that they can't be ranked at all, and their influence is even more minimal, and they can't influence the direction of policy at all!"

After saying this, Brumberg couldn't help but sigh, and a helpless look flashed on his face: "If it weren't for the real power in the CIA asking me to fund him, even if I was killed, I wouldn't have funded him to come to Pakistan!"

"Lu, don't you know, the assurances he made when I first met him were a promise that he would facilitate my arms sales to Afghanistan and Pakistan. But after coming to Pakistan and running to the Afghan refugee camp on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border to take a few gimmicky photos,

As if I had nothing to do with him, I didn't even mention it. The rest is to spend all day drinking, and in less than half a month, nearly 100,000 US dollars were defeated by him, if it weren't for the CIA's guarantee to me, I would have lost a lot of money this time!"

After saying that, Blomberg stirred the coffee in front of him, and then took a sip of the cup, Blomberg's expression relaxed a little, but his uninhibited eyes became shrewd and transparent. Then he persuaded Lu Jiadong on the other side with emotion and said:

"So, these politicians who eat by their mouths have no credibility at all. Despite their glamorous appearance, they are actually darker than us arms sellers on the inside, and not only that, Charlie Wilson is a typical playboy in addition to the characteristics of these politicians.

Life except for women and wine. Even in the refugee camps on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, this guy doesn't forget to fool around with his mistress, and he's no different from a scumbag! That's why, Lu! As a friend, I sincerely advise you, don't take this member of the House of Representatives seriously, if you really count on him, then nothing will happen!"

In Brumberg's view, the purpose of Lu Jiadong's visit to Pakistan this time is also to sell arms, but the current situation in Pakistan is very bad, especially the Soviet army's increasingly powerful clean-up operations on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. The real threat to Pakistan is also becoming more apparent.

Pakistan, which is a small and weak country, has to devote its only resources to the defense of the border, which makes Pakistan, which is not economically strong, unable to afford to procure military equipment on a large scale, let alone support the Afghan resistance groups. Such a chain reaction has made the Afghan resistance even worse, and if there is no external support, it is estimated that it will not be long before it will be wiped out by the Soviet army!

Lu Jiadong's proposal that the United States provide financial assistance and China provide weapons and equipment to jointly support Pakistan has achieved the strategic goal of containing the Soviet Union. Although Lu Jiadong's plan is very creative, in Blomberg's view, it is not very operational. So after talking about Charlie Wilson, Bloomberg went on to advise:

"As a frequent visitor to Washington's political circles, I know very well that the current US policy towards Afghanistan is more wait-and-see than actual, and the most critical point is that the Soviet Union's aggressive posture around the world has made the United States suspicious, coupled with the Soviet army's own strong combat effectiveness.

Therefore, the top level of Washington judged that the Soviet Union would sooner or later wipe out the Afghan resistance, and because of this, there was no need for the United States to risk a nuclear war with the powerful Soviet Union to help a country that had nothing to do with itself, and since the Vietnam War, American society has been seriously torn apart.

The economic situation continues to deteriorate, and instead of throwing taxpayers' money into the mountains of Afghanistan, it is better to strengthen the domestic economic construction and increase people's employment, knowing that the precious votes are not in the hands of Afghan refugees, but in the hands of ordinary Americans!

It is precisely on the basis of these various factors that the US government and the opposition have tacitly acquiesced that Afghanistan is the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union, and although the United States has symbolically given $50,000 in aid to the Afghan resistance organizations for humanitarian reasons, this amount of money is not even a drop in the bucket for a war that consumes a huge amount, and it can be said that the whole of Afghanistan has been forgotten by the United States!

Therefore, even I am not optimistic about the situation in Afghanistan, I can only leave him to fend for himself, Lu, I think you should also see it, so you should stop having illusions, the world is so big, there are places to sell arms, there is no need to only focus on such a place as Afghanistan!"

Bloomberg's persuasion is indeed sincere, in addition to Lu Jiadong mastering his secrets, after a period of contact and running-in, especially after several successful arms, Bloomberg does regard Lu Jiadong as a friend, if it is someone else, Bloomberg will not talk about persuasion, it would be good not to read jokes!

Of course, Lu Jiadong could hear that Bloomberg's words were sincere, but what Lu Jiadong did not expect was that even Bloomberg was so pessimistic about the situation in Afghanistan that his plan to use Charlie Wilson to seek financial assistance in the United States was almost completely rejected by Bloomberg.

However, it is normal to think that Brumberg has such a view, after all, the current Soviet Union has reached the historical level of both military strength and national strength, and even the powerful United States can only parry in the face of the Soviet Union's aggressive offensive posture. And there is no way to fight back.

If at this time someone said that the Soviet Union would be bogged down in Afghanistan and that it would collapse and disappear in ten years. It is estimated that everyone will think that the person who said this is either an anti-Soviet or a conspiracy theorist with ulterior motives, and anyway, he will be classified as a whimsical delusional person in the sequence.

Because of this, let alone Brumberg, it is normal for even the US government to have such a pessimistic statement, but Lu Jiadong is different, he is a military technology expert who traveled through later generations. Not only does it have profound military technology, but it is also very clear about the direction of history. Lu Jiadong knew very well that Afghanistan was a bleeding wound of the red empire of the Soviet Union, which flowed for ten years until his blood dried up and collapsed!

For this unspeakable reason, Lu Jiadong put down the coffee in his hand when Blomberg finished speaking. With the same confident smile on his face, he said lightly to Blomberg, who was stirring the coffee in front of him:

"As a friend, I am very grateful to you, Mr. Blomberg, for your heartfelt reminder, but I still think this idea is promising!"

Listening to Lu Jiadong's words, Blomberg's hand stirring the coffee couldn't help but stagnate, you must know that he had already said all the words that were heartfelt, I thought that Lu Jiadong would retreat in the face of difficulties, but I didn't expect Lu Jiadong to still insist on his own point of view, which made Blomberg puzzled:

"Lou, you are"

"Mr. Blomberg. You have just analyzed the thoughts of the American political circles very well, but have you ever thought that there are still many staunch anti-Soviet political figures among these people!" Before Blomberg could finish speaking, Lu Jiadong preemptively said with a serious and serious expression. Blomberg couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it, but Lu Jiadong's words did not stop because of this:

"As you just said, it was the CIA who instructed you to finance Charlie Wilson's trip to Pakistan, so don't you see a little bit of that in that case, Mr. Blomberg?"

"Meaning?" Lu Jiadong had just finished speaking, and Blomberg gently repeated what Lu Jiadong had just said. Then he quickly said to himself, "Charlie Wilson, member of the Congressional Budget Committee. The only parliamentarian who pays attention to Afghanistan, the Budget Committee Afghanistan CIA" As he spoke, Blomberg's eyes suddenly lit up, and his eyes became excited when he looked at Lu Jiadong:

"Lou, you mean"

"I think Mr. Blomberg should know better than me!" Before Blomberg finished speaking, Lu Jiadong said meaningfully, in fact, Lu Jiadong was not wrong, Lu Jiadong meant that Blomberg really understood, the reason why he didn't think of these things before was mainly because of his pessimistic mood that he didn't think about it at all, and secondly, he was also a fan of the authorities, and now he was reminded by Lu Jiadong, Blomberg's shrewd brain was instantly activated, but it didn't take long for a touch of worry to envelop his face again:

"Charlie Wilson didn't really come to Pakistan to help here, mainly to make political gimmicks, I'm afraid"

"It's best for him to have a political gimmick, so that we can have a target, and then we can do this, do this, do this, and then we can do this."

"Haha! Lu, do it according to your method, let alone Charlie Wilson, even any politician will work hard!" After listening to Lu Jiadong's method, Blomberg couldn't help but laugh with a satisfied expression, but then his smile closed and he said again:

"Lou, do you really trust this Charlie Wilson?"

"He's the only one who cares about Afghanistan at the moment, so why don't we try?"

"Yes, why don't we try it!" Looking at Lu Jiadong's confident expression, Blomberg no longer hesitated, and after saying this, he drank all the coffee in front of him, and then said to Lu Jiadong with a shrewd smile unique to arms dealers:

"I think it's time for me to get to work!" he got up, but Lu Jiadong didn't answer, just nodded slightly at Blomberg, until Blomberg's figure disappeared, and a hint of a smile appeared on the corner of Lu Jiadong's mouth (to be continued)
