Chapter 105: The President Helps
Pang Jindong smiled and replied, "I'm thinking about how to sue you, country Z's interference in the Kokang region has begun......"
For Anderson at this time, the greatest value of Pang Jindong's sentence is not to provide any information, but to confirm that Pang Jindong is sincere and reliable to him.
Therefore, Anderson was very happy, but his tone was still stern: "Since country Z has begun to interfere, would you still want country M to do the same?"
"There are two possibilities for 'interference' by which I speak, one is support and the other is suppression. I can honestly tell you that the attitude of country Z is supportive, but when they find that Kokang will not become the country they want, I have no doubt that this support will turn into repression. ”
Country Z has done such a thing in history, that is, after vigorously supporting a regime, it suddenly found out that it was a white-eyed wolf.
The other party ate, drank, and held his own blood and sweat, but when he was full of wine and food, he turned around and bit himself.
Therefore, Anderson was not surprised at all by Pang Jindong's statement: "You mean to say that the Kokang region is only using country Z, and country M can compete with country Z for a sphere of influence in Kokang?"
Pang Jindong immediately admitted: "Not bad. ”
Although this is to save the country, Pang Jindong suddenly felt a little like a big traitor, but this "traitor" had to be.
It is entirely possible that country Z will change its attitude towards the Kokang Republican Army, so it must be prepared in advance, and country M is a good choice.
Of course, national feelings can make ordinary people impassioned, but they are just a tool for the politicians, and the politics are very realistic, so cold that they have no feelings, so Pang Jindong must make the most realistic considerations.
In addition, as a newly independent country, it is not enough to be recognized by country Z, and it is difficult to reach the international community without the recognition and support of country M.
"I believe you should know that country M has always been against MD's military ** rule, but ......" Anderson stopped without saying any more, but Pang Jindong knew very well what Anderson meant after the word "but".
So Pang Jindong spoke for Anderson: "I know that country M wants to establish a ** regime in MD, instead of breaking MD apart." But the Kokang IRA is only seeking independence in the Kokang region, and not only is there no interest in a change of government in the MD at the moment, but there is no need for it. What's more, for the re-establishment of the ** regime in MD, you already have candidates who have supported you for many years, and there is no need to choose the Kokang Republican Army at all. ”
Anderson doesn't deny it in the slightest: "It's best if you can understand. ”
"In addition, you probably think that the strategic position of the Kokang region is not important and has no value in supporting it. Taking a deep breath, before Anderson could make another statement on his words, Pang Jindong continued: "But I hope that Your Excellency the President can know that any strategic goal can be adjusted according to reality. You can try to prop up a ** regime in MD, then you can prop up another independent regime in MD if there is no such regime in MD for the time being. As for the strategic value, although on the surface the Kokang region is not important to Asia, or even just Southeast Asia, the sandwich between MD and Z gives the region a special advantage. ”
When talking to Anderson, Pang Jindong paid great attention not to use the term "puppet regime", but to replace it with "** regime". It does not mention the need for country M to blockade country Z, but only explains the importance of MD to country M from the universalism of spreading "**" and "freedom" to the world in country M.
Pang Jindong's approach proved to be very sensible, making it easier for Anderson to agree with this analysis: "There is some truth in what you say. ”
"Thinking about it from another angle, if country Z can support the Kokang region, it must be ready to break with the MD government. This also means that if Guo Dang can succeed in becoming independent, country Z will completely abandon MD, and country M will also get a chance. ”
Country M does not fail to value the strategic value of Indochina and MD, which is the largest country in Indochina and is the land passage of country Z to the Indian Ocean.
In this sense, it is an indispensable part of the blockade imposed by country M on country Z.
However, due to the strong rule of the MD junta and the support of country Z, country M did not have a chance to attack for a while.
What touched Anderson about Pang Jindong's words was that countries Z and M should not do the same thing for their different purposes.
The same thing will trigger many consequences and reactions, and each country can take what it needs, while Pang Jindong will have to take advantage of the contradictions between the major powers to seek benefits for the sake of courage, or perhaps it can also be said to use each other.
Anderson nodded: "Go ahead"
"The only thing I need to say is that I hope that country M will do its best to take action in the Kokang region. ”
Anderson pondered for a moment, then slowly asked, "What do you need most right now?"
"Funds and weapons. ”
Anderson smiled, and there was a rare hint of ridicule in his tone: "Didn't country Z even give you the least of these two things?"
Country Z has already provided financial support, and given that a military advisory group has been dispatched, Pang Jindong estimates that the next step will be to provide weapons.
It's just that no one will be disgusted with money, and Pang Jindong wants to get some advanced weapons.
The status quo in the Kokang region doomed it impossible to maintain a large standing army, so the army must be able to compensate for the lack of quantity with quality.
Compared with country M, the level of military equipment of country Z is still too backward.
Anderson said without hesitation: "I can't help you for the time being, but the weapons are ........"
Pang Jindong saw a glimmer of hope and hurriedly asked, "Is it okay?"
Anderson did not answer directly, and told Pang Jindong: "I will give you a contact information and contact person, it is the Red Sea Trading Company, what do you need, just ask them." I'll say hello to them and let go of the restrictions on your maximum range. ”
Pang Jindong had never heard of this Red Sea trading company, but he knew that the actual arms exported by country M every year far exceeded the normal arms trade between countries.
This is because a considerable number, if not most, of the arms exports of country M are smuggled abroad by various enterprises.
The earliest reason for the birth of this kind of smuggling was that country M imposed an arms embargo on many countries due to political needs, but from an economic point of view, it was unwilling to completely abandon these markets.
Later, the scope of smuggling began to expand, and the separatist forces, separatist warlords, armed and terrorist organizations of some countries also became customers, and even some allies of country M also took advantage of this to purchase some equipment, because this method was simple enough.
This leads to the strange phenomenon that some countries that could not have obtained the weapons of country M through normal channels are equipped with some weapons made in country M.
Although the companies involved in the smuggling, with the exception of nuclear weapons, have access to all the equipment produced in country M, they are selective in their sales.
First of all, there is no possibility that the customer will have a conflict with country M in the short term;
Second, they will rank their customers, and high-level customers, such as Western allies, can choose to buy any weapon, and have the right to buy brand new;
Low-level customers, such as the *** armed in South America, can only buy ordinary guns, sometimes second-hand, or even decommissioned.
Moreover, the price of the same weapon is not the same, the former can be bought very cheaply, and for the latter, some rich but underdeveloped countries, such as the Arab countries, it is ridiculously expensive.
This kind of arms smuggling is secretly allowed and even encouraged by the government of country M, and is often led by politicians with sufficient power or a government agency.
The "Red Sea Trading Company" is obviously Anderson's arms smuggling enterprise, which made Pang Jindong realize for the first time that the new president had a variety of ways to accumulate wealth.
Anderson's so-called "greeting" shows that Pang Jindong can choose to buy a lot of weapons and equipment.
This kind of support provided by Anderson is exactly what Pang Jindong wants, and if country M directly aids or intervenes in the Kokang region, then the problems that arise will be difficult to solve.
First of all, the same aid and different competing interests will lead to friction between Z and M in the Kokang region.
Pang Jindong was very happy about this: "Thank you, Anderson. ”
"But......" Anderson's tone suddenly became a little more stern, and he said to Pang Jindong almost warningly: "Do not let any kind of weapons and related technologies flow into the hands of country Z." ”
Although he had long known that Anderson would make a similar request, Pang Jindong's heart suddenly tensed: "If you find out that I have such behavior, then I can bear the price that comes from this." ”
"Good. Suddenly, Anderson's tone softened again, and the subject changed to give people a very dramatic feeling: "The most important purpose of my call to you is not to discuss the political situation of MD, but to get your blessing." In a few days, the incumbent president will give his resignation speech, and I will be inaugurated in a few days. ”
"I sincerely wish you the best president in the history of country M. ”
"Thank you, Jerry. ”
Pang Jindong is not sure whether Anderson will be the most effective president, but he is certain that he is the president with the most complex background and may be the only one who smuggles drugs and arms.
Pang Jindong estimated that Anderson should have handed over all the drug trafficking networks before taking office.
Pang Jindong has one of the routes in his hands, and he was originally very interested in who took over the rest of the network, but it was really inconvenient to ask.
Just hung up Anderson's phone, two screams suddenly came from the bathroom in the living room, only to see Tang Chuanjiang and Liao Chenghao being thrown out one after another, followed by the sound of fighting inside.
Pang Jindong had been talking on the phone intently, and Milia seemed to know what was going on, and was standing at the door of the bathroom, frowning and looking inside.
Pang Jindong walked quickly to the door of the bathroom, and immediately turned around as soon as he glanced inside, and at the same time instructed Miria: "Let them put on their clothes first!"
The two people who were fighting were Masaharu Kazama and Meg, and when Pang Jindong looked in, the thin pajamas on the two of them were all torn, and their white breasts and thighs were all exposed.
Ordinary girls fighting are nothing more than pulling their hair and slapping them, and at most they use some tricks such as Wang Baquan.
But these two girls are very skilled.
Although Masaharu Kazama didn't carry a sword, she used good karate and aikido, especially on her legs.
Although Meg looks gentle and lovely, she was a women's unrestricted kickboxer before becoming a mercenary, and she has a good record.
Masaharu Kazama is smaller than Meg, but she doesn't suffer at all, and even her appearance is very fierce, and she once forced Meg back to the door of the bathroom.
Meg excels at close-quarters combat, constantly trying to get close to Masaharu Kazama and then restraining her with throwdowns and the like.
The result of these two girls moving their hands can be imagined, the fists and feet are wonderful, Tang Yun sat in a corner with her hands and knees, and looked at the qiē in front of her with relish.
Almost all the things in the bathroom were smashed after a short time, and the sound was still very small at first, Tang Chuanjiang and Liao Chenghao didn't know what was going on, so they hurriedly rushed in to see what was going on.
By this time, everyone was already washing up and getting ready to go to bed, except for Miria, who was still dressed when she was out, everyone else had already changed into pajamas.
At the beginning, it was somewhat embarrassing to wear pajamas in front of strangers of the opposite sex, but after a long time, everyone gradually became familiar with each other, and there were some subsections that were no longer shy away.
When Tang Chuanjiang and Liao Chenghao entered, they only had a pair of shorts and a vest on them, but Masaharu Kazama and Meg joined forces to beat the two of them away first.
Hearing Pang Jindong's order, Miria rushed into the bathroom and hugged Meg from behind.
Nagano Kazuka also came out of her room when she heard the sound of fighting, and followed in and hugged Masaharu Kazama.
The two who didn't fight wrapped bath towels around the two fighters, and then dragged them out of the bathroom.
In the process, the two girls kept trying to kick each other with their feet, and the four pink and snow-white jade legs kept intertwining, but none of the men in the room wanted to look at them.
When they arrived in front of Pang Jindong, the two girls stopped their hands and hung their heads like deflated balls.
They stood barefoot, tightening their towels from time to time to keep them from running out.
