At noon, the convoy stopped near a dry riverbed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the inland highlands of northwestern Yemen, the biggest problem is water.

There are several inland rivers in the province of Al Jawf, but all of them are seasonal.

Fortunately, Wang Dong and the others brought enough water, and they also captured a lot from the enemy, but it was only for daily drinking for several days.

When preparing lunch, Wang Dong gathered his main subordinates.

Like Luo Qing, most of the Pakistani special forces, as well as all Saudi special forces, believe that they should return immediately and cannot remain in Yemen.

Xie Chuyue and Churkin did not express their attitude.

"If Popovich was an agent of the Russian intelligence agencies, it must have something to do with the Kalashnikov team, but it was the 'Bald Eagle' and 'Made in Germany' who attacked us last night. It follows from this that Kalashnikov is uniting with H&K and Barrett against us. Because Popovich acted as a pinch, Kalashnikov provided intelligence, and two other companies sent personnel. ”

No one objected, and that was obvious.

"The question is, what does Kalashnikov get? Even if we are out after FN, the most likely one to get the contract is H&K. ”

"It is simply impossible for Kalashnikov to get a procurement contract from the Saudi military." Zhao Huang said.

Wang Dong nodded and said, "Actually, this is the key. Kalashnikov's purpose in the bid was not to get a contract, but to assist H&K and Barrett. We have reason to believe that the cooperation between these three companies is the result of an internal agreement within Arms Toslav. Kalashnikov contributed money, people, and efforts, and also arranged agents to be undercover agents, and the benefits he received were definitely not small. ”

"Just selling arms to Yemen and Syria can make hundreds of millions of dollars a year."

"In other words, supporting and supporting the Houthis is a collective action of 'arms toslav', and the ultimate goal is to make Saudi Arabia bleed."

Luo Qing gritted his teeth and said, "These are not difficult to think of, but what's the use?" ”

"Is there any evidence?"

Luo Qing frowned, if there was evidence, they would have returned to Saudi Arabia a long time ago.

"We have no evidence, so it's just speculation, and the Saudi authorities obviously can't turn the other cheek with Western arms groups because of our speculation, even if it's an unquestionable speculation, and they won't blame these Western companies for it. Although it is difficult to change the relationship between Saudi Arabia and Western arms groups even if we find evidence, I believe that as long as there is evidence, it can at least change the views of the Saudi royal family, especially King Salman. ”

"Help Muhammad ascend to the throne?" Xie Chuyue asked.

Wang Dong smiled and said: "It is Muhammad who seeks change, and it is Nayef who adheres to the pro-Western line, but the final decision-making power is in Salman's hands." Even this one thing, which is difficult to change, will certainly have an impact on the future of Saudi Arabia. ”

Xie Chuyue nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Wang Dong meant.

"So, we'll have to ask the Kalashnikov team." Zhang Zilan said.

"After all this happened, those guys definitely thought that we would return to Saudi Arabia and end the operation in Yemen. As expected, H&K's and Barrett's men would rush ahead of us, ambush us on the way back to Saudi Arabia, and catch us off guard. Because Popovich's identity has already been revealed, plus there is nothing good, Kalashnikov will not be involved in the subsequent operation. ”

"Have you ever thought about what's happening right now?"

Zhao Huang suddenly said, attracting the attention of the others.

"Sarah's battle?" Luo Qing asked.

Zhao Huang nodded and said: "The Yemeni government army's counterattack on Sara has been fighting for several days, but it is still lingering outside the city, and the Houthis are also frantically increasing their troops. Although I was not involved in the previous events, the Saudi Ministry of Defense must have been borrowing our hand to deal with the Houthis and support the Yemeni government forces in the counterattack against Sala by scheduling the second round of bidding at this time. ”

No one argues because that's what it is.

"Well, why did the Kalashnikov company get involved? Let's not forget that the weapons used by the Houthis are mainly from Russia, and most of them are refurbished second-hand goods. Moreover, it is Iran that is the main supporter of the Houthis, and Russia's relationship with Iran is extraordinary. So what reason does Kalashnikov have to help the Saudis deal with the Houthis? No matter how you look at it, Kalashnikov should not be in this muddy water. ”

"Unless it's profitable."

"That's right." Zhao Huang nodded at Wang Dong and said, "There is only one possibility I can think of. ”

"What?"

"Get a justifiable reason to enter Yemen."

Wang Dong was slightly stunned, and looked at Zhao Huang incomprehensibly.

"Over the years, Russia has focused on Syria, and Yemen is a battlefield for Iran. In order to maintain relations with Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states, Russia has never taken action in Yemen. This time, in the name of bidding, Kalashnikov sent people to Yemen, didn't he just give Russia a valid reason? Perhaps in the Kalashnikov team, there are still a few people like Popovich. ”

"Take this opportunity to establish an arms sales network in Yemen?"

"It can also be described as direct contact with the Houthis to bypass Iran."

"What's the benefit of doing that?" Luo Qing asked.

"Higher profits."

Luo Qing was slightly stunned, but did not refute.

The Houthis are mainly armed with AK series rifles, as well as RPG rocket launchers, in addition to some Russian-made machine guns, and Kalashnikov is the world's largest manufacturer of AK rifles, and is also a major refurbished manufacturer, providing almost all Russian-made light weapons.

Previously, Iranians involved in transportation and trafficking had to take a cut of the middle.

Bypassing Iran and establishing a direct sales channel can save this cost.

By controlling the sources of arms in the Houthis, it can influence the direction of the Yemeni civil war, and also improve the status of Russian arms dealers in "Arms Toslav".

With so many benefits, why not do it?

"Then, it is even more necessary to eradicate the Kalashnikov team first."

To make it so clear, no one else objected.

Subsequently, Wang Dong made specific arrangements.

When the Pakistani special forces brought lunch, Wang Dong stopped Churkin.

"Wang, you don't have to worry about me." Churkin knew the reason why Wang Dong was looking for him. "After Nania died, I saw through it. Whether it was Tupolev at the beginning or the current Kalashnikov company, they are all scum of Russia. Under the control of this gang, Russia has no future to speak of. ”

"If only you could understand."

Wang Dong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, Churkin was Russian.
