Chapter 42 Military Cooperation
Hearing his words, Zhou You laughed, crossed Erlang's legs, and leaned back on the back of the sofa. Gramia was already well aware of www.biquge.info habit of traveling, and immediately snuggled up and put his arm around him, creating a very relaxed atmosphere.
Stroking the back of Gracia's hand, Zhou You whispered, "It depends on what you need!" For me, everything that can be solved with money is not a problem, because I am the richest person in the world. ”
He also laughed, and deliberately said with a little sarcasm: "But there are still many problems in this world that can't be solved with money. ”
Zhou You nodded and said, "But it definitely doesn't include the matter we're talking about now." ”
Liu Rui was extremely nervous while listening, but he felt that his blood was full of blood. It's admirable to be a man who can be like a boss and not show weakness in front of a near-dictatorial president. He is only 27 years old, a year younger than himself, why can he be so successful!
After being discharged from the army, he couldn't find a job, and he hated the fact that he didn't earn much from part-time work, so he was later introduced to the security company by his comrades. Because of participating in the special forces competition, after getting acquainted with many French mercenaries, I have a foundation in French, and after two years of study, I can be regarded as truly mastering French and becoming the key training object of the security company.
Because now I can earn more than 5,000 dollars a month, and there are subsidies for performing tasks, and I have hundreds of people under my hands, and I still have some pride after becoming the person in charge here. Now that I think about it, it's ridiculous, what a frog at the bottom of the well.
Who is Kabila? A ruthless character who became a president at the age of 30 has almost irreversible power in the country, but the boss, a businessman, seems to be more imposing than him. Compared to him, I have nothing to be proud of!
Listening to Zhou You's words, Kabila deliberately smiled: "Do you want a nuclear warhead, and you can get it for me?" ”
"As long as it's done well, it doesn't seem too difficult. But ......" Zhou You smiled and flicked Gracia's arm, and she immediately reached into Zhou You's pocket, took out a cigarette, and helped Zhou You light it.
Zhou You took a puff of cigarette before he said: "The so-called price, like doing business, needs to be fair and reasonable." Hunt down Arthas because I want to take it personally, otherwise, I only need to hang a bounty and countless people will help me do it. You must know that this is how Efuya was killed by me in the first place, and he is also a great warlord who was once famous all over the world. ”
Kabila nodded, suddenly stopped speaking English, and said in Chinese: "I treat Mr. Zhou with sincerity, I just want to become a pair of sincere partners and even friends with Mr. Zhou, so let's not test each other and show our sincerity, okay?" ”
Although his Chinese vocabulary is not enough, two sincerity and one sincerity are used in one sentence, but Zhou You also understands his mind. So, he also restrained his smile, sat up straight and said, "Please forgive me for being perfunctory at the beginning, I had to wear a few more masks when facing politicians. ”
He nodded and said, "I can understand how you feel, because I'm the same." The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and they felt much closer.
In the intelligence, Kabila is not a flamboyant person, he is taciturn, strict with himself, low-key and even a little cowardly. However, he is different from the low-key of dos Santos, who has ruled a country for too long and deliberately downplayed his role. But from the very beginning, he did not look like a high-spirited president, but like a hermit.
His father was assassinated, and the mastermind behind it is still unknown, most of them suspect that it was his father's subordinates, and even a large number of people believe that Kabila killed his father. Anyway, after his father's assassination, he was put on the presidency by a group of his father's subordinates.
At first, no one was optimistic about him. thinks that at the age when he has just reached the age of thirty, it is impossible to be a good president, and it is impossible to suppress his father's group of subordinates. You must know that those people are not peacetime politicians, but warlords who have risen from recklessness and overthrown the government.
But six years later, Kabila still sits steadily on the presidency and still runs the country effectively, much to everyone's surprise.
Zhou You has no curiosity about the cause of his father's death, although Kabila can be vaguely seen in this matter. He felt a little admired that he was able to sit firmly in the Diaoyutai in such a turbulent environment, which showed that he was not only able to kill people with guns in the jungle, but also had rich experience in political struggle.
Zhou You is a relatively proud person, especially after being reborn, he is a little psychologically inflated, but now he still admires the man in front of him who is only nine years older than him.
Therefore, he quickly adjusted his mentality and said in an unquestionable and sincere tone: "The biggest problem in the DRC now is that the industrial base is weak, and the whole country, except for simple rough processing, and the export of resources, has almost no industrial capacity of its own. However, because of the development plan in South America, I have gathered more than 3,000 industrial enterprises in various industries around me, and I can influence countless enterprises to invest and build factories in the DRC. So, I am proud to say that there is no one who can provide the most effective help to the DRC in this regard. ”
This passage is in English, because although the Democratic Republic of the Congo is a French-speaking country, Kabila grew up in Uganda and Mozambique, and speaks English better than French, and everyone else knows English, so there is no need to translate and repeat it.
Kabila listened to Zhou You's words, but did not show great excitement, but calmly asked, "Then what price do we need to pay?" ”
At this time, it was not good for Zhou You to use hypocritical temptations to fight for interests, and replied: "In addition to the policy inclination, economic cooperation, and administrative favoritism, I also need comprehensive cooperation in the military field." ”
Kabila did not ask for details, but asked: "But none of your investments in the five South American countries involve military cooperation, why do you have to add this condition to our country?" ”
If you want to organize an industrial upgrading trust to invest in the DRC, then policy favors, economic cooperation, including administrative favoritism, are necessary.
Even in South America, Colombia has made it difficult for many Western companies to gain a foothold, and Venezuela has driven out many Western companies and transferred development projects to mainland companies. Ecuador and Peru, although not so administratively favoritic, have also re-enacted their investment laws specifically for traveling companies.
As for Bolivia, the poorest, in order to attract investment from all over the country, it agreed to all these conditions, and even the whole country completely turned to the left, and for this reason preferred to break off diplomatic relations with Britain and the United States.
However, as he said, although these countries have agreed to travel many conditions in the commercial field, in the military field, they have never deregulated, let alone so-called comprehensive cooperation.
Zhou You replied directly: "That's because the political system of South American countries is quite stable, except for Colombia, even if other countries change their leaders and change their ruling parties, it will not affect my investment." But the DRC is different, with Africa's anarchy and respect for contracts not comparable to South America's. ”
He asked, "What kind of cooperation is that?" ”
"I just have a rough idea of what to do. The initial plan is to establish a training camp in the DRC, where the security company and the DRC army will conduct a series of cooperative operations to clean up the DRC's domestic investment climate. Secondly, we can also cooperate comprehensively in arms procurement, using the name of the Democratic Republic of the Congo to procure some heavy weapons, including large armaments. ”
Kabila couldn't calm down anymore at this time, he sat up straight all of a sudden, looked at Zhou You and exclaimed, "Do you also want to establish a country in Africa?" ”
Zhou You shook his head and smiled: "I am already more comfortable than most kings in the world, but I don't want to find millions of people, or even tens of millions of people, to add countless troubles to myself." My money is only spent by my family and for the countless citizens of a country, and it is not a level. I don't want to, and I won't do. ”
"And what is your intention to use the DRC to procure large armaments?"
"It's just a ......matter of protecting my property," Zhou You said demagoguously, "I can use the heavy weapons purchased in the name of the DRC, even advanced armaments, I can share them with the DRC army in training to enhance the DRC's military strength, and at the same time, we can also assist the DRC army to completely suppress all hostile forces, so that your notification is more stable." It's an unspeakable benefit for you and for the country, isn't it? ”
None of you here could have imagined that today's topic would be detached from its original purpose from the beginning, and would turn from clearing the Alsace forces to traveling around the comprehensive military cooperation with the Democratic Republic of the Congo in his own name.
Especially Liu Rui and Santiago, they didn't know that Zhou You had such thoughts at first, but when they heard Zhou You's words, they were shocked as if they had seen aliens. They could not have imagined that their boss would have such great ambitions to build a military force in his own name that surpasses most countries in the world.
If this plan can really be realized, I am afraid that no country in the world will dare to have any difficulty in traveling around. Because any action against him could be attacked with the most brazen of impunity, he has no country to protect, and therefore less to worry about than all the nations, all in his year.
The drug lords of Colombia and Mexico, who, just by making a little money from drug trafficking, were able to organize an army that was not weaker than the government army. Zhou You's capital is more abundant, his funds are more innocent, and if he organizes such a team, it will be a threat to any country.
However, in today's world of barriers and contradictions, he has a great chance of success. As a Chinese descent, if he really spends money to purchase tanks, artillery, and even missiles and fighter jets from the mainland, I am afraid that the mainland will also sell them to him.
What's more, there is also a Singaporean presence. Although Singapore is small, its military research and development capabilities are not bad, and many of its weapons are world-class.
Joining Zhou You really threw out a multi-billion dollar military order at once, and in such an environment, I am afraid that there are few countries in the world that will not sell his weapons.
Kabila looked at his two subordinates, then at Santiago and Liu Rui, and said, "General Sinliga and General Farina are my trusted comrades-in-arms, and I can guarantee that their conversation today will not be leaked out." ”
When Liu Rui heard this, he hurriedly expressed his loyalty. "Before I came to the DRC, I went on two secret missions and helped the boss kill four people, including an innocent child. Although this world is big, I am only safe under the command of the boss. ”
Santiago also hurriedly said: "We are all the same, we will not be the one who betrays the boss." ”
Indeed, in order to control these middle-level managers, everyone has to accept the vote, and Zhou You will use it with confidence. So, if it weren't for the special temptation, Zhou You wouldn't have worried about the betrayal of these managers.
Seeing Zhou You nodded, Kabila relieved himself and said, "Then, we can let them go and discuss the action against Arthas, and the two of us will communicate the details of the cooperation first." We don't need too many people to know more until the cooperation is finalized. ”
This is Lao Cheng's serious remarks, in contrast, he is still a little too arrogant, but he doesn't know that people's hearts are the easiest to betray, and no amount of restraint can withstand the temptation of interests.
There were only three people left in the room, and only Gracia sat next to them, pouring tea and water for the two of them, but it didn't interfere with their conversation.
Zhou You talked about the international situation, his relations with the countries of the world, and the necessity of building his own private army. As an individual, if you want to build an army, there are still many problems that need to be solved, first of all, there is a pressure of public opinion.
In the name of a sovereign state, demarcating a base, allowing the army to have a place to stay, and then purchasing arms in the name of the state, it is obviously much less resistant.
In the process, Kabila paid very little but gained more. Of course, the negative impact of this incident on him cannot be said to be absent. The first is international pressure, and second, domestic opposition pressure.
But these pressures are nothing compared to the practical benefits of cooperation.
From two o'clock in the morning, the two men talked about the dawn, where to set up the barracks, how the two sides would cooperate at the beginning, how to launch military operations against the opposition, how to deal with international pressure, and how to appease the people in the country.
Although it was the first time they met, they were not much different in age, and their acquaintances and attitudes were similar in many places, which also made the meeting a very successful conclusion.
When the tour left Kinshasa, the roads of the entire city were once again closed. Kabila personally went to the airport to put Zhou You on the plane, and then reluctantly waved goodbye.
As soon as he got on the plane, Gracia put his arms around Zhou You's neck despite the fact that the bodyguards were also in the cabin. "Honey, I find that I'm getting more and more infatuated with you, what should I do?"
Zhou You laughed. "Then follow me to the top of my life! On the journey of life, I also need you to share my joy and glory. ”
