Chapter 369 Arms Agents
"That javelin... Is it a single missile that will fly high into the air with a clatter and then a falling individual missile?" said Evenson, raising his hand and dropping it, gesturing to see how the Javelin missile worked.
Claire and Melinda looked at him with caring eyes, then nodded silently.
After Claire's reminder, Evenson remembered, but he had always called this weapon the real name of the Monkey, and when Melinda said the javelin just now, he was stunned.
This stems from the fact that when he used this missile for the first time in the game, he obviously aimed at the target, but found that the missile was flying straight up into the sky. At the time, he also lamented that Claire was so realistic that it would reflect the effect of weapon failures. But in exchange for Claire's silent disdain, he hated the weapon ever since.
Think about this piercing... Ah no, it seems that Javelin missiles can only hit tanks and bunkers, and it is barely enough to hit a low-altitude hovering helicopter, and it is really not a threat to the airbus flying in the clouds that I made. But...
"Mirhak, a Russian arms dealer, was able to get American weapons to sell. Evenson's eyes narrowed, "He doesn't seem to be small." ”
Russian arms dealers generally sell Soviet-style weapons, and if this Mirhak sells RPG rocket launchers, this is quite normal, but it is a bit strange that he actually sells NATO-made individual missiles today.
Of course, this is not to say that no one sells NATO's weapons, after all, the boss of NATO is the world's largest arms dealer, and he will carry out legal arms sales in the name of the official, and there will also be a large number of gray agents to smuggle for them.
However, these agents with official backgrounds are all measured. They don't care if they're dealing with someone who's in opposition or an authoritarian warlord, and they don't care if their rule hides treasure or eats human flesh. But you have to have a certain political status.
Because once anything involves politics, it becomes very complicated, and this is the talisman of those agents, so that even after the incident, someone will save them.
So they generally don't do deals with those notorious terrorists, except that the checks given by terrorists generally can't be cashed, because once these things are exposed, they may make the people behind them very embarrassed, so the big boss is unhappy, and the agent will naturally die.
And the following Mirhak, in terms of nationality, he is obviously not an agent of those NATO countries, and Carrigan, a mercenary shame, although it should be on the list of those agents that can be traded, must be ranked very low, and this transaction is probably very strange.
"Nil Hakbelikov, it was one of the first first-class arms dealers to develop after the collapse of the former Soviet Union. Melinda heard Evenson's doubts, and slowly explained, "By reselling the weapons and equipment left by the Soviet army, a large amount of capital accumulation has been completed, and since then it has been out of control, relying on ruthlessness to kill many business competitors, and can be regarded as the leader of the arms trade in Eastern Europe, so it has a good relationship with many internationally renowned arms predators." After all... Capital is meant to be mobile. ”
Melinda's last sentence is meaningful, no capitalist will think his business is too big, but the strong dragon does not suppress the snake, if the weapons in the west want to be sold in the east, it is indispensable to find a local to change hands, of course, the reverse is also the same.
In other words, he is the agent of the agent. Evenson asked with a mysterious smile, "This illegal trade has developed to such a point, and you S.H.I.E.L.D. don't care about it?"
Melinda tilted her head to the side, took a deep breath and said with some embarrassment, "The global arms trade is a net, their backgrounds are complicated, you must know that several arms exporting powers in the world have representatives on the World Security Council, and... This kind of trade is not necessarily all bad for world peace. ”
A war between major powers would almost be the end of human civilization, as any wise leader understands. However, when it comes to the competition for resources and the distribution of interests, it is always necessary to distinguish between the superior and the inferior.
In addition to the competition of soft power, it can only be a comparison of military strength. If you support the government army, I will support the opposition, if you provide satellite support, I will provide tactical guidance, if you sell them aircraft, I will sell them missiles.
In short, in addition to the confrontation of the major powers themselves, it can be said that all means have been exhausted. Then divide the superior through the war of small countries, and then divide the interests at the negotiating table according to this outcome. This is indeed a good way to avoid the next world war.
"So S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't want to take care of it?" Evenson's eyes flashed, "It's amazing... Disappointed. ”
"S.H.I.E.L.D. is strong because of the interests of the majority of the people we maintain and have their support. Melinda is not ashamed, "But if we move his cake and lose their support, we... Nothing. ”
"Of course... If they do something wrong, we won't show mercy. ”
Hmph, they were originally dancing on the tightrope, and they were disgusted when things went out of line, and no one cared what S.H.I.E.L.D. wanted to do with them. However, Evenson sneered in his heart, and this is indeed good news for me.
"Don't talk about that. Evenson waved his hand impatiently, "Prepare Rumlow, let's go down and get that kid back." ”
"Don't want to continue fishing?" Melinda immediately wanted to agree, but asked anyway, after all, this order was very different from Evenson's previous strategy.
"If the line is scrapped, you naturally have to change it, and besides, if you have the bait in hand, are you afraid that the fish will not be hooked?" said Evenson indifferently.
Since Locke already knew that Ghost Rider was chasing this child, as long as he didn't have cerebral palsy, he shouldn't believe that Carrigan could stop Ghost Rider, even if he had blocked Ghost Rider's perception of Danny, but it was just an expedient measure, he would definitely send another man, someone who could reassure him, so Carrigan's life or death would not matter.
"But there are quite a few of them. Melinda looked at the brightly lit quarry below, where there were a lot of heavily armed mercenaries, "Although Rumlow and they are all elites, it may be difficult to sneak in and rescue the child." ”
"Rest assured... I have a way of heating up the scene first. As soon as Evenson said this, there was a maniacal laugh from the bottom of the cabin.
