Everyone stared at Wang Dong, waiting for Wang Dong to make an idea.

After playing with it for a while, Wang Dong smiled coldly and threw the miniature storage on the table.

"Let's put this aside for now." Wang Dong glanced at Serena, Gao Jun, Zhao Yu and Nicholas, who were staring at him, knocked on the table again, and then said, "There is no doubt that Lawrence is 'Shakespeare'." All we have to decide is whether or not to accept his invitation. ”

No one spoke, because except for Wang Dong, no one had the right to make such a big decision.

After receiving Gao Jun's call, Wang Dong immediately drove to Edinburgh Airport, but before arriving, he received a safe call from Serena.

Subsequently, Wang Dong called Zhao Yu and Nicholas to return to the castle.

At this point, Wang Dong concluded that Lawrence was "Shakespeare", because in "Arms Tothra", only the Big Three had the right to issue invitations.

If a year ago, Serena had agreed on the spot, there would have been no need to think about it at all.

Just, is this necessary now?

Nicholas had already found out that all the members of the "Arms Toslav" were from Western countries, to be precise, countries that believed in God.

In this huge organization, not to mention the Chinese, even the Russians are regarded as different.

In addition, "Arms Tothra" is not a political organization, and it has nothing to do with ideology, it is a typical monopoly organization.

To put it simply, the fundamental value of the existence of "Arms Tothra" is to obtain super-profits through monopoly.

This is very similar to the "Diamond and Jewelry Industry Federation" led by Deer Bice, where the pursuit of profit is the real goal.

Obviously, cooperating with the government, gaining the support of financial groups, forming killer organizations, and developing mercenary corps are only means to achieve their goals.

In addition, planning wars and even military coups in certain areas is also a means.

Due to the trend of interests, "Arms Toslav" does not have a real core, and even the Big Three are not irreplaceable.

In fact, this is also the fundamental reason why Wang Dong and they cannot defeat, let alone eliminate the "arms Toslav".

As long as there are huge profits from the production and sale of arms, and as long as the monopoly can make more profits, there is no way to completely eliminate "arms toslav".

Even if all the members are killed, the vacuum created will still be filled by other arms dealers.

It was after figuring out this that Wang Dong gave up the idea of destroying the "Arms Tothra" and turned to confront the "Arms Tothra".

In this case, is it still necessary to join the "arms toslav"?

In addition, there is a very real problem.

That is, in "Arms Tothra", there are no Chinese arms dealers.

Strictly speaking, there are no arms dealers in Huaxia, because all arms enterprises in Huaxia are state-owned, and even if they are general managers, they are only operating companies.

It can also be said that there is only one arms dealer in China, and that is the Huaxia authorities.

In fact, this is also the key to the exclusion of China by "Arms Tothra".

None of the many members of the "Arms Tothra" actually spoke for the government, and maintained relations with the government only to gain government support.

All members are from private arms companies.

Of course, Western countries, including Russia, do not have state enterprises in the true sense of the word.

In addition, from the point of view of the purpose, "Arms Toslav" must also exclude China.

Quite simply, in today's arms market, Huaxia is both the main player and the biggest saboteur, playing two very different roles.

It's so complicated, the cause and effect are all related to "Arms Toslav".

The point is, the profits of the arms industry are simply too large.

In the last century, limited by its own strength, Huaxia was the main buyer in the international arms market, and even if it exported arms, it was mainly in the low-end market, and the threat to Western arms enterprises was not too great, and the profits of the Chinese arms market made many arms enterprises salivate.

It's just that this situation certainly can't be sustained forever.

In essence, the arms industry is also an industry, and it is a typical heavy industry, so the development of the arms industry is directly related to the industrial strength of a country.

With the gradual realization of China's industrialization, it will certainly exert efforts in the arms industry.

The first turning point appeared in the 80s of the last century.

The Iran-Iraq war, which lasted for eight years, was regarded as a golden age by many Western arms companies, and it was the last feast before the end of the Cold War.

Iran and Iraq, which are at war, are both oil-producing countries, and both are reckless in their military force, and they are simply a paradise for arms dealers.

It was also in this war that the Huaxia arms enterprises came to the fore.

What is even more intolerable to Western arms companies is that the Chinese arms companies actually curry favor with both sides and provide weapons to both warring sides at the same time!

Although Western arms companies often do this, it is not so blatant.

Of course, almost all the arms sold by China to the warring sides at that time were low-grade goods, and the profits were not too much, and most Western arms companies scoffed at them.

Entering this century, the second turning point has arrived.

Compared to the first turning point, the second shift came more gently and less drasticly, but the threat to Western arms companies was greater.

That is, Huaxia initially completed industrialization and began to march into the high-end field relying on industrialization.

You know, the arms business is the preserve of industrial powers.

Since Britain opened its doors to industrialization, for hundreds of years, only a truly industrial power has been able to export arms to other countries.

Then, after China initially achieved industrialization, it began to exert its efforts in the arms market, which can be regarded as an inevitable result.

It's just that not a single Western arms company is willing to accept this inevitable result.

Quite simply, the population of China is simply too much.

Britain was the first to complete industrialization, and for more than 200 years, the rice flag flew around the world, until it was surpassed by the United States before the First World War, and it was only half a century later, that is, after the end of the Second World War.

Why?

During the more than 200 years that Britain dominated the world, other industrialized countries, such as France and Germany, had populations comparable to those of Britain.

The United States was able to surpass and replace Britain because the population of the United States was an order of magnitude higher than that of the United Kingdom!

In addition, the Soviet Union, which together with the United States ousted Britain from the throne of world hegemony, also had a population of more than 100 million, which was still an order of magnitude higher than that of Britain.

What about Huaxia?

At the time of initial industrialization, the population of China was as high as 1.3 billion!

Isn't it similar?

Obviously, the population of China is an order of magnitude higher than that of the United States!

If a country with such a large population industrializes and enters the arms industry and begins to export arms to the world, will the arms enterprises of other countries still survive?

What is even more terrifying is that there are no private arms dealers in China, and all arms enterprises are state-owned.

As long as China's arms enterprises go abroad, it will not be long before there will be no other country's arms enterprises in the international arms market.

Along with it disappeared the huge profits of the arms industry.

For this reason, including Russian arms dealers, they will spare no effort to encircle and suppress Chinese arms dealers and prevent them from entering the international market!
