Chapter 45: Collusion
The Kingdom of Colin is not as rich as other Gulf countries, the military strength is relatively backward, after Saeed came to power, the whole army and the military, give priority to the air force, because of the stalemate with the Americans, can not buy a generation of God aircraft F16, and do not want to be slaughtered by the Russians, so from the Chinese bought a batch of cheap Mountain Eagle attack aircraft, this aircraft was originally a jet advanced trainer aircraft, but the effect of ground attack is also very good, especially used to deal with guerrillas with little air defense capabilities, it is simply a knife to kill chickens.
The guerrillas were poorly equipped, with only pickup trucks and heavy machine-gun mortars, so they couldn't afford to use expensive ground-to-ground missiles, and the government attack planes used conventional bombs and rocket nests to bombard the camps, which should have been fine, but unexpectedly, the praying mantis was behind the cicada catcher.
The camp had already been prepared, and when the fighters swooped up, the anti-aircraft missiles that were lying in ambush nearby were fired, and several well-trained white soldiers pulled the trigger on the plane carrying the Red Tassel 5 and rushed away, and three missiles whistled out and flew towards the tail of the jet.
The mountain eagle exploded in the air, turning into a huge fireball.
The two attack planes that followed them sensed that something was wrong, hurriedly pulled up, and quickly left the battlefield.
Liu Handong lay in the sand, shocked into a cold sweat, he was not afraid, but he did not expect that the guerrillas' intelligence was so accurate, they could set up an ambush in the camp and kill a plane.
No matter how expensive a missile is, it is only tens of millions of dollars, and an airplane, even the cheapest one, costs several million dollars.
The guerrillas suffered significant losses, several of the logisticians used as bait were killed by machine guns, the tents were splattered with blood, and all the dead were Chinese.
The bodies were carried out, lined up, 23-mm machine shells were powerful, their limbs were shattered, they couldn't fight human shape, these people came from Henan, from Anhui, from Fujian and Guangdong, they were all cornered Chinese, reduced to this, just to eat, but died unjustly in the desert of a foreign land.
Zhu Xiaoqiang didn't die, he was busy carrying the body, digging pits, and burying it, with no expression on his face, as if he had long been accustomed to life and death.
A white mercenary wearing an Arab scarf walked over, pointed at Liu Handong and said, "You, don't stand stupidly. ”
Liu Handong hooked his hand and asked him to come over.
The white man, who was wearing sunglasses and couldn't see his expression clearly, stared at him for a few seconds, realizing that he had mistaken someone, but still walked over and pressed his tactical gloved hand to the holster.
"These people could not have died." Liu Handong said.
"It's war, you know, there's drones in the air, infrared detectors, you can see anything with temperature." The white man explained.
Liu Handong was speechless, this kind of rhetoric simply doesn't take human life seriously, he took a sip and scolded.
The mercenary put his hand to his ear and looked arrogant: "What did you say? ”
"I said, fuck you!" Liu Handong glared at him.
The mercenary put down the automatic rifle on his back and put on a boxing posture, and the people around him were already lively, and they surrounded him in twos and threes.
Liu Handong turned around and left.
The mercenary chased after him in three steps and two steps, reaching out to grab Liu Handong's shoulder.
Liu Handong turned around in order to accumulate strength, he heard the movement behind him, twisted his waist, and whipped his leg over, the mercenary reacted very quickly, stretched out his hand to block, or was kicked a few steps back, stepped forward again, the two fought together, and soon Liu Handong had the upper hand with his technical superiority, riding on the mercenary with an old fist, and beat him to the mouth and nose bloody.
No one stopped them, only watched coldly, because Liu Handong's four bodyguards were eyeing each other, and those mercenaries also recognized that this Asian was an arms dealer who supplied them, and he didn't dare to provoke him.
Liu Handong beat the guy who didn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth into shock, then he stood up, wiped the blood on his hands, and turned to leave.
……
A Mountain Eagle attack plane was shot down while performing a combat mission, and the pilot was killed, which was a huge loss for the very small Collin Air Force, and His Majesty Said received the battle report, and was heartbroken, he did not feel sorry for the plane, but the pilot is a rare resource, and it takes several years to train a pilot who can fly a fighter, and one less dies.
Said made a new request for assistance from the Chinese side, including helicopter gunships, J-1O fighter jets, and air force instructors and advisers, preferably directly involved in the fighting.
Austria, Vienna, OPEC headquarters, oil ministers of oil-producing countries meet here to discuss new oil production quotas, the massive production of shale oil and gas in the United States and the slowdown of the world economy are long-term negative for oil countries, Saudi Arabia can rely on quotas to maintain small countries with no voice, and small countries like Colin will face huge losses.
Minister of Oil, who was a close confidant of Said, met with ministers and princes of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and other countries, and held secret negotiations with representatives of ExxonMobil and American diplomats under the mediation of a Saudi prince.
Of course, this qiē was carried out behind China's back.
……
Dubai, Palm Island Villa, after days of hard work, Zheng Jiayi finally achieved fruitful results, Feng Yong's financial transactions in the open and secret, as well as its fixed assets, were listed on a list.
This long list was placed on Liu Handong's desk, and he looked stupid.
"Feng Yong is so rich!"
"It's not just him, it's the Iron Triangle that has shares." Zheng Jiayi said, "their means of grabbing wealth is very simple, that is, power and conspiracy, taking bluestone high-tech as an example, typical forcible seizure, forced to turn a private enterprise into a bag, and to do that, but also to set up a memorial arch, in the eyes of the people of Omijiang, bluestone high-tech is a state-owned enterprise, in fact, the SASAC shares account for only a minority, the majority is the iron triangle in the Cayman Islands registered offshore company. ”
In addition to bluestone Hi-Tech, there is also a coal mine in Shanxi, a rare earth mine in Inner Mongolia, a plot of land in Jinqiao, Pudong, Shanghai, a real estate company in Dalian, and a well-known charitable foundation, Fei Fund.
"The Flying Fund is their tool for money laundering." Zheng Jiayi pointed out unceremoniously.
"These truths, I will break out sooner or later." Liu Handong suddenly pointed to a string of numbers on the list and asked, "What do you mean, Feng Yong has bought a lot of shares of this company recently." ”
Zheng Jiayi said: "I also noticed that Norman Oil Company, which was founded in 1967 and now has no operating income at all, has an extremely low stock price, only five cents per share, and has not been cared for for a long time. ”
Liu Handong held his chin in his hand and thought: "I have a gut feeling that there must be a conspiracy here, didn't you say that Zhang Bangxian is a member of the Xu family?" ”
Zheng Jiayi is a smart person, and he can see through one point: "Yes, oil, they want to make a fuss about oil, Feng Yong has no real skills, without power, he will not do anything, Norman Oil Company is the locust they use to suck the yellow blood of Zhongyan, I estimate that there will be big changes in Colin in the next step." ”
Liu Handong said: "They buy stocks, nothing more than want to go long or short, Norman Company is a vest, the target is still Zhongyan Huang, but Zhongyan Huang is such a big plate, do they play around?" ”
Zheng Jiayi sneered: "It's not that complicated, I think Feng Fatzi's plan is like this, through guò relationship operation, Norman company takes a few projects in Colin, and then Zhongyan Huang buys Norman at a sky-high price, and the country's money changes hands and goes into private pockets, it's so simple, so obvious, so arrogant." ”
Liu Handong said: "We must not let them succeed. ”
Zheng Jiayi smiled: "Then it's up to you, my big hero." ”
Liu Handong said: "Let's go, I'll take you for a ride and get on the yacht." ”
Zheng Jia's face turned red.
……
In New York, USA, Feng Yong was in a suit and leather shoes, with a shiny oily head, sitting on the sand with Erlang's legs crossed, his toes swaying, and his face was full of spring breeze.
Sitting across from him were two middle-aged white men, both dressed in sophisticated suits and with the domineering arrogance of the Wall Street financial elite on their faces.
One of them is a vice president of Goldman Sachs, and another represents the interests of ExxonMobil named Richard Mobil. Thorpe, who used to work in Leituo Mining, has been in the iron ore business for many years, and now mainly deals in oil.
Feng Yong went abroad after graduating from university, spoke English well, and in the face of two old slippery heads who eat people without femoral heads, he did not fall behind at all, and after a frank and sincere exchange, the three parties reached a verbal agreement.
"Would you like a drink?" Thorpe picked up the red wine bottle, "This is the real Lafite, your Chinese's favorite." ”
"Lafite is nothing, I plan to buy two houses in the Champagne region, specializing in the production of red wines suitable for the taste of the Chinese." Feng Yong took the wine glass, shook it, and sniffed the wine gently, "For example, Sprite." ”
Everyone laughed and was impressed by Mr. Feng's unique humor.
Of course, Feng Yong is not so earthy, his level of wine tasting is first-class in China, and he said this to show that he is rich and willful.
"So, for the success of our cooperation, for the sake of Sprite-flavored red wine, cheers." Thorpe raised his glass.
"Let's have a drink." Feng Yong stretched out his arm and had a glass of wine with Mr. Thorpe.
The next day, Feng Yong returned to China by private jet and had a secret conversation with Yao Guang.
Yao Guang, as the person in charge of a certain direction of the intelligence agency, has the duty of providing reference opinions to the high-level, and he gathered people to make a detailed and thorough analysis and prediction of the situation in Colin, believing that increasing military assistance to the Said-Said regime and leading the opposition to be quickly eliminated will not be in the interests of our country and will also stimulate the Americans; after all, Colin is not Sri Lanka, and the Middle East is the private territory of the Yankees, and at present we cannot let go of our hands and feet and do whatever they want.
Yao Guang's report was sent, and the high-level discussion and study were finally made, and a decision was made to reject Said's request for military assistance.
