Chapter 127: Goodbye, Mr. President!
Marshal Kent's slightly raised white beard shook violently, and his face flushed and said, "Money!" Money! Money! You know how much money you know! Isn't that guy named Gao Yang very rich? If we win, we will ask him to pay compensation! Isn't that all back? ”
Churchill glanced at the old marshal and said with disdain, "Your Excellency! Your mind is still stuck in the Queen's Age! Are you a fool when Gao Yang is a fool? If we start to gather troops, then he will immediately spend all his money to buy arms for war! Even if we win the war with all our hard work, what else can we gain? ”
Admiral Hammond, Second Minister of the Army, spoke up: "Who would dare to sell him arms at the risk of offending the British Empire?" "As Marshal Kent's deputy, Admiral Hammond must be on his boss's side.
"Americans! As long as there is money, Americans dare to sell anything! All of Gao Yang's money is in the Bank of America! The Americans, who are now competing with us for hegemony in the world, will definitely be very happy to help Gao Yang. It was a gift from God to them! Churchill said coldly.
"Marshal Betty, what is your opinion?" Marshal Kent turned his head to look at the Admiralt, who was sitting quietly beside him, and asked in a deep voice.
Although the Army has always been at odds with the Royal Navy, Marshal Kent wants Marshal Betty to see that his fellow army members are on his side.
Now what he wants to fight for is not how to deal with Gao Yang, but face! His Excellency the Marshal, who was run by Churchill and was about to lose his square inches, is already angry!
"Mobilizing the fleet and driving them to the Far East requires at least double the military budget. The cost of the war will be calculated separately. Marshal Betty, who had an indifferent expression on his face, said lightly.
"That's it! Don't even say it! Now what the British Empire needs is not a war! Prime Minister Baldwin stopped the argument from escalating and said in a deep voice. After speaking, he glanced at Churchill meaningfully.
Churchill kept running on Marshal Kent, not because he received money from Gao Yang, but because Churchill, who was implementing the gold standard, was greatly opposed by conservative forces at home! And Marshal Kent is an important representative of the conservative forces!
"Does the Royal Navy really need that much 'extra'?" Prime Minister Baldwin asked, looking at Marshal Betty with his chin in his hands.
Marshal Betty's face was slightly red, and he coughed a little embarrassedly and said, "The Royal Navy has some difficulties, but they can still be overcome. ”
Marshal Betty, who was the boss of the Navy, knew these things very well. He himself didn't have any additional thoughts about Gao Yang, these things were all done by his subordinates!
Since the end of Europe, the Royal Navy, which has been slashed in military spending, has been struggling. Most of the Navy's military spending is also spent on the maintenance of warships. Officers and soldiers salaries. Even the newly built warships have been reduced to a minimum!
Especially after Churchill became Chancellor of the Exchequer and began to implement the gold standard. Chancellor Churchill, who was raising money in order to implement the gold standard, first set his sights on the Royal Navy, which had a large budget!
Under such special circumstances, the extra money earned by the officers, who were usually very wealthy, was also greatly reduced. Just when the officers were complaining, Gao Yang, the wronged head in their eyes, appeared.
After receiving the task of sending the warship to the Far East, the excited officers began to find all kinds of reasons to prepare to squeeze more oil and water from Gaoyang.
Although Marshal Betty was not involved in this matter, as the captain of the navy, it was his must to defend his subordinates.
Everyone present knew about it, but no one wanted to offend the Royal Navy.
Only Churchill said with a sneer: "Don't lose such a huge piece of fat for such a small benefit!" This arms purchase is not just about making a lot of pounds! Through this arms purchase, we can get in touch with Gao Yang, so as to add a kick to the huge deal between Gao Yang and the Americans! Increase the prestige of the British Empire and expand its influence while also hitting our current biggest rivals, the Americans! ”
Churchill's words succeeded in impressing Prime Minister Baldwin. "Marshal Betty. I want the Royal Navy to make the interests of the empire a priority! Will the Royal Navy be able to send all the warships to the Far East in 30 days? ”
"The Royal Navy can do it! Mr. Prime Minister! Marshal Betty assured with a serious face.
After receiving the reply from China, Sir Ma Ke immediately visited Gao Yang again, and vowed to Gao Yang that the Royal Navy would send all the warships in good condition within 30 days!
"Phew! A bunch of sluts! After Sir Ma Ke left, Gao Yang said with a disdainful expression.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's October.
In Africa, Sheikh Nzuba has succeeded in becoming the country's new president. Without the name of sending troops, the French had no choice but to recruit the fleet back. After a verbal insult, the French began to send professionals to investigate who was behind Chief Nzuba!
Libreville, Presidential Palace.
Gao Yang was alone in the living room waiting for President Nzuba's reception.
"Hmph, being the president is different, and the shelf is bigger." Gao Yang, who had been waiting for half an hour, said with a cold face.
"What are you doing with someone who is dying? Think about what else hasn't been cleaned up. The French are not vegetarians. You don't have enough self-protection ability right now, once the secret is exposed," Origin said lightly.
"I know the way!" Gao Yang impatiently interrupted the original point, "The traces that can be cleaned have been solved, and now there are only Nzuba and Carlos left!" These two ungrateful bastards, they all brought it on themselves! ”
An attendant dressed as a bodyguard walked into the meeting room. After looking at Gao Yang with an indifferent face, he said coldly, "Mr. President, let you in." After speaking, he stepped forward and carefully examined Gao Yang.
"Hey!" Gao Yang smiled speechlessly, lowered his eyelids slightly, and a thick killing intent flashed in his eyes! When I opened my eyes, I was already smiling. Nodding slightly, he straightened his clothes and followed his attendant into the president's office.
President Nzuba, dressed in national costume, sat behind his desk and his eyes lit up when he saw Gao Yang come in. With an undisguised look of greed, he chuckled and nodded slightly.
Standing next to him was Carlos, who had been appointed strategic adviser to the presidential palace. Looking at Gao Yang, there was also a look of seeing a big fat sheep in his eyes. Several tall and strong bodyguards carried AK47s and scattered around.
The offices were closed, and President Nzuba sat down in a wide chair and said with a smile on his face, "Mr. Gao, my dear friend! It's a pleasure to meet you! ”
"I'm honored too, Mr. President." Gao Yang nodded slightly and said softly.
President Nzuba winked at Carlos beside him. Carlos nodded slightly. Turning to Gao Yang, he said in a deep voice, "Mr. Gao, Mr. President is busy with official business, let's talk about things directly." ”
The corners of Gao Yang's mouth curled slightly, sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and said lightly, "I'll listen." ”
Carlos frowned slightly, and said with a somewhat unkind expression, "Mr. Gao, I invite you to come this time to discuss with you about the mining company you opened in my country!" ”
"Oh? Didn't we have an agreement before? Gao Yang said lightly.
"Mr. Gao, I remember you once said that you never believed in any contract. It's a coincidence, and so am I. President Nzuba said with a smug face.
"Oh, Mr. President, you mean you want to break the contract?" Gao Yang took out a cigarette and lit it. said indifferently.
"You can understand it that way." President Nzuba pulled out a cigar and chuckled.
Carlos took out the lighter and lit it for President Nzuba, looked at Gao Yang and said indifferently, "Mr. Gao, our previous contract was an unequal contract. It was you who imposed it on us when we could not refuse! Now, I declare that this contract is null and void! ”
"Of course, Mr. Gao is still very grateful for our help. Personally, I think Mr. Gao's company has been of great help to the economic development of our country. As long as Mr. Gao is willing to support a reconstruction fund for the economic development of our country, then your company can still continue to operate. President Nzuba said with a smile on his face as he sipped his cigar.
"Huh." Gao Yang looked at the two of them, one singing white-face and the other singing black-faced, and smiled speechlessly. He exhaled a smoke ring and said lightly, "How much?" ”
President Nzuba and Carlos glanced at each other, and they both saw the joy in each other's eyes. Carlos coughed and said, "Our government and people will thank you for your generosity." In return, our government can award you the honorary national "
"How much!" Gao Yang interrupted him coldly.
"Ugh!" A hint of annoyance flashed on his face, and Carlos said in a deep voice, "$300 million!" ”
Originally, he discussed with President Nzuba to extort $200 million from Gao Yang first, but Gao Yang's attitude just now angered him. Change the number to $300 million when you say it!
"Ha Lu Ha." Gao Yang laughed loudly, "Ha Lu Ha, Ha Lu Ha" The more he laughed, the louder he became, and then he leaned back and leaned back with laughter.
President Carlos and President Nzuba looked at each other. I don't know what's wrong with Gao Yang, I was stunned for a while.
After laughing for a while, Gao Yang slowly stopped laughing. Snuff out the cigarette. Leaning on the sofa, he said lightly: "Do you have to 'support' you every once in a while in the future?" ”
At this time, Gao Yang had already reacted that Gao Yang was laughing at their Carlos, his face turned red, and he said viciously, "Mr. Gao! You have to understand where you are! You'd better spend your money honestly to buy peace, or else"
Carlos winked at the bodyguards standing around. Several tall bodyguards immediately raised the AK47 in their hands and aimed it at Gao Yang!
Gao Yang didn't seem to see the few guns pointing at him around, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows lightly, and said to himself, "The old people have long said that you can't only listen to half of what you are saying!" ”
"What are you talking about?" President Nzuba said impatiently, "Mr. Gao, you'd better think about it!" The lion in the back garden of the presidential palace has been hungry for days! If you don't agree to my terms, then I'll send you to feed the lions!" After that, all your property will be confiscated! ”
Gao Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his head to look at the two of them, and said lightly, "As I said before, since I can help you up, I can also pull you down!" ”
President Nzuba's face was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "Mr. Gao! You're so funny, I'd love to see how you pulled me down! ”
Gao Yang smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, and reached out and took out a small black ball from the storage space! (To be continued......)
