There was a burst of laughter in the conference room, and in the end, the laughter was really bad, and Lu Shaohua had to slap the table hard, stopping everyone's laughter. People are like this, once they laugh, it's not so easy to stop, and Li Zhijie's expression is too funny, so funny that everyone loses control, of course, there is one person who doesn't laugh, that is Li Zhijie, the protagonist, he is flushed and very embarrassed.

"Alright, alright, get down to business, get down to business." Lu Shaohua saw that everyone had recovered, so he quickly changed the topic, otherwise he didn't dare to guarantee that everyone would burst into laughter again.

Facts have proved that Lu Shaohua's diversion is very effective, and everyone has regained their seriousness, waiting for Lu Shaohua to speak.

Lu Shaohua didn't let everyone wait any longer, his face was straight, and he took over the topic just now, and said. "The sale of arms can be traded with money, or it can be traded with oil fields, and you can think of a way to tie up the line, but there is one thing that must be paid attention to, that is, the intelligence network must cooperate, investigate the details of the other party, and if the other party owns the oil field, it can be sold first."

Lu Shaohua's last sentence was for Li Zhijie, because he controlled the entire intelligence network, so he must be responsible for intelligence work. As for the priority of sale, Lu Shaohua also has an arrangement, and it is impossible for him to let those cats and dogs buy the arms produced by the base.

"Understood." Li Zhijie also got serious and said very hard.

"Hmm." Lu Shaohua nodded and said again. "In the middle of this, it should be noted that at the moment we are targeting the political axe army and the [***] side, these two parties are the big customers, they have oil fields, they have countless money, they are our ideal partners."

In the Middle East, there are wars every day, large and small battlefields, there are political axe armies against [***] armies, and there are also some small organizations that wage war against small organizations, so there are too many places that need arms, but small organizations are not in Lu Shaohua's consideration for the time being.

Before he finished, Lu Shaohua's words were not finished, and after a pause, he continued. "There are some political axe troops and [***] army that need mercenary groups to help, and our Tiger Roar mercenary group can also take on tasks by the way, of course, if necessary, if it is not necessary, I personally do not recommend taking the task in the Middle East, because it is too dangerous over there, and the mercenary group may lose a lot in the past."

In Lu Shaohua's cognition, the United States is strong enough, but no one knows how many regular soldiers died in the end when the regular army entered Iraq, but the only thing that is certain is that there are many people who died, so Lu Shaohua has never underestimated the countries in the Middle East, even if the weapons and equipment of the Tiger Roar Mercenary Regiment are advanced, it is also dangerous to go.

However, Lu Shaohua's words were not too dead, he just said that he would not accept it if it was unnecessary, on the contrary, he was also revealing another piece of news, that is, under the premise of absolute interests, it can still be accepted.

At this time, everyone finally understood why Lu Shaohua wanted to expand the number of the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group, and dared to deal with the Middle East region. Everyone knows that the Middle East is far away from Africa, and if the Tiger Roar mercenary group wants to go there to carry out anything, there is no way to return to the base in a short time, then, if it receives a large-scale mission and needs to dispatch too many people, it will become empty base, and there will be no troops to defend it, and there will be unknown dangers.

The base has always been Lu Shaohua's base camp, even if Lu Shaohua doesn't want oil, he doesn't want to let the safety of the base go, so it is necessary to expand the preparation of personnel, but this problem has now been solved.

"There is another one, Iraq, a big oil country, we can do business with them, but if we exchange oil fields for arms, we will only sign a ten-year contract with them, and we will not sign more than ten years." Lu Shaohua emphasized once.

What kind of country is Iraq, that is a thorn in the side of the United States, a thorn in the flesh, the United States launched the Iraq war in 2003, and now it is 1992, Lu Shaohua only signed a ten-year contract with them in order to evacuate before the United States invaded Iraq, so as to avoid losses.

Everyone didn't know what Lu Shaohua meant by this, but they all had a common understanding, that is, it was right to listen to Lu Shaohua, so they all nodded at the same time and remembered it deeply.

"Why don't we form a force, choose a small country, defeat the political axe army, and set up a new political axe ourselves? It seems that it will be able to control the oil fields in the territory. This is Xie Jianwei's question, he thinks that it is very easy to use the weapons in the secret base to form a force to defeat the political axe army, but Lu Shaohua has to make it so complicated.

Lu Shaohua shook his head, crying and laughing, why didn't he think about it like this, but could he do this? The answer is obviously no, not to mention that this will make the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group the target of other people's attention, it is enough trouble to beware of the forces that oppose them.

In the Middle East, there is such a rule, a new regime is formed, and tomorrow another force will form the [***] army, and the two sides will go to war, so even if the Tiger Roar mercenary group defeats a country, Lu Shaohua can't be sure that there will be no force against them tomorrow.

Thankless work, Lu Shaohua doesn't do it, he would rather hide in the dark and draw salary, so it is cost-effective, he will not become the target of others, and at the same time he can get enough benefits, why not!

"No, we don't make this trip to the troubled waters, the chaos in the Middle East is far more complicated than we imagined, and it is not so pleasant to go there and form a new regime, although we have such strength, it is not so pleasant to be targeted." Lu Shaohua categorically rejected Xie Jianwei's proposal.

"I also think it's better not to make this trip to troubled waters, political things are very complicated, and if one is not good, you may fall into a place of infallibility." Chen Guobang said.

In fact, Chen Guobang also relied on his own basis for saying this. Back then, Chen Guobang was expelled from the army, in addition to killing people by mistake, the more important reason was that he was too good and hindered the pace of others' promotion, so he was expelled from the army for a trivial matter, so Chen Guobang thought it was better not to touch political matters.

Li Zhijie and Qian Qian also nodded, echoing Lu Shaohua and Chen Guobang's intentions, and opposing Xie Jianwei's proposal.

"Okay, this matter is settled, don't get involved in other people's struggles, we just need to reap the benefits." After speaking, Lu Shaohua paused and said again. "Next, let's talk about the problems after the arms are sold. As I said just now, arms can be traded in two ways, one is money, and the other is oil fields, not to mention the oil fields, talking about money, after getting money, except for the cost of manufacturing weapons, the rest of the money will be used on the base, and I will not transfer a penny from it, and at the same time, I will not invest a penny in the base in the future, so I will produce and raise it myself. ”

A few days ago, Lu Shaohua transferred 40 billion US dollars, and Lu Shaohua decided that this money would be the last one, taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Shaohua also said by the way, the purpose is to let Li Zhijie and them have a bottom in their hearts, and the allocation of funds has a degree.

"Do you mean all in?" Li Zhijie confirmed in disbelief.

"Yes, it's all for now, and as for the future, let's talk about it later." It is undeniable that what Lu Shaohua said is all.

As we all know, arms is a profiteering industry, and in addition, every piece of weapons and equipment manufactured by the secret base is at the leading level, and the price at which it is sold is only high, not low, then the profit in the middle will be even higher, and it is predictable that as long as it hits the Middle East line, the base will have a large amount of money flowing in.

Since it is predictable that there will be a large amount of capital inflow, what will be used for the inflow of funds except for a manufacturing fee? Li Zhijie was very puzzled, and he didn't know where Lu Shaohua would invest other funds.

"With the money, where are we going?" Li Zhijie asked.

"It's still a weapon, let's start those difficult projects." Lu Shaohua said lightly.

At that time, the technology bought by the Soviet Union was far more than missiles and long-range missiles, and there were also technologies that were more advanced than missiles, such as satellite and rocket technology, all of which were available on secret bases, but they were kept sealed and not taken out for research and development.

"What about aircraft carriers?" Li Zhijie asked again.

Aircraft carriers can be regarded as top-notch technology, Li Zhijie didn't understand whether the 'several' Lu Shaohua said contained aircraft carriers, so he had to open his mouth to confirm.

Lu Shaohua didn't rush to speak, because he already realized that what he said just now was a bit vague, and he had to add more. "The aircraft carrier is to be developed, but the cost is too high, and we are not enough to manufacture it in our current situation, so this project will be put on hold for the time being."

After speaking, without waiting for Li Zhijie to speak, Lu Shaohua remembered a loophole that was not said before, and had to add it again. "By the way, we have to step up the production of a few frigates and a few warships at the moment, and then we can escort oil carriers."

As soon as these words came out, the topic returned to the transportation of oil, and everyone's eyes lit up, and they really forgot about the escort of oil, after all, the sea is not as calm as it seems on the surface, and there are many pirates!

"Is a single frigate and a battleship enough?" Chen Guobang raised his own question: At sea, there are some large pirates who have nuclear submarines, and if they are sent to rob oil ships, I am afraid that a few frigates and warships will not be able to defend against them.

Lu Shaohua's expression changed, and Chen Guobang's question attracted Lu Shaohua's attention, and he fell into deep thought, and did not speak for a long time.

"What does big brother mean?" Lu Shaohua asked rhetorically.

It's not that Lu Shaohua didn't think of nuclear submarines, but he subconsciously thought that there was no need to make it so grand, so he automatically ignored it.

"I feel that it is necessary to add two nuclear submarines to escort the ship, although the cost is a little larger, but in order for the oil to reach Africa safely, I think it is necessary, after all, we have worked hard to develop the oil from there, and then transport it to Africa, the cost itself is very high, if there is an accident, our losses will be greater." Chen Guobang could not say that he wanted to add two nuclear submarines, and he also specifically explained the necessary surnames to be added.

"Okay, add two nuclear submarines to escort it." This is Lu Shaohua's final decision.

"Okay." Xie Jianwei said.

Lu Shaohua has made a decision, and he has made a decision, even if this issue is over, Chen Guobang will not say more, and wait for Lu Shaohua to enter the next topic......
