"No, no, no, our trade is very fair, you must know that Soman's extraction is very difficult, and it is not making fertilizer, it can be produced on a large scale, so ah, the price of 20,000 US dollars a liter is already very cheap, and it is considered a conscience price." Albert finally found an opportunity to step into their negotiations. Arshile van Ack was a little uncomfortable with Albert's abrupt interruption of the pace of negotiations, and he was vaguely worried about whether the crown prince's whim would interrupt the rhythm.

But when he thought that this transaction was planned by the crown prince with him, Arshile van Ack felt a little relieved, since it was the crown prince's appoint, then he naturally had his reasons for doing so, if he acted rashly and disrupted the rhythm of the crown prince, if he blamed himself afterwards, the prime minister would not be able to eat and walk around.

So Arshile Van Ack chose to shut up very interestingly, since Wang Ji fought with Truman's think tank and achieved a comprehensive victory, then he obviously has a certain degree of certainty in dealing with these two guys.

The two battle-hardened foxes were not fooled by Albert's rhetoric, insisting that the price of $20,000 a liter was unacceptable, and that they were willing to pay at most $8,000 a liter from Belgium.

"Well, I'll give you two a multiple-choice question." It was clear that these guys could not be persuaded by this means, and Albert gave them several options according to the plan, "The first option is to sell it to the French government for 20,000 dollars a liter and equip it with a special gas warhead, and the second option is to sell the gas to the French government for 10,000 dollars a liter, but the French government must hire the military personnel of the Belgian Strategic Resources Cooperation Company to participate in the operation in Vietnam, how about it?" ”

"You mean to hire mercenaries from His Highness's company?" Albert's words clearly intrigued Paul Maradier, who did not exclude mercenaries from participating in war, and that they had a long tradition of the Foreign Legion, which was founded in 1831 when King Louis Philippes added non-French foreigners to the army in order to solve the problem of criminals and wounded at the same time.

And the record of the Belgian Strategic Resources Cooperation Company is also very good, just two snipers let the supreme leader of Greece die in front of their subordinates in front of everyone, and Greece, which lost its leader, was soon expelled to the border jungle between Greece and Yugoslavia, and was no longer able to compete with the government army.

Seeing that there was a play, Albert hurriedly took the hot iron, "That's right, my company's private military contractors don't need French military assistance for the first two weeks in Vietnam, including logistics and the like. The price I offer you is $50 for the head of an ordinary Vietnamese soldier, $150 for the head of a political commissar, and so on. ”

For example, during the street fighting in Grozny, the Chechen rebels hired a group of mercenaries to help them fight, and the price offered by Chechnya at that time was that the mercenaries could get 10,000 US dollars for every 100 Russian troops they shot. The reason why Albert dared to raise the price like this was because he was clear about the level of the Viet Cong's half-ass, if the Vietnam War was on the Mesopotamian plains like Iraq, these monkeys who relied on the cover of the jungle would have been demolished and pushed all the way to the crystal tower by the coordinated operation of the US military.

"I think Your Highness underestimated the Vietnamese a bit, and their cunning is not what you can imagine. These people are like marmots digging holes everywhere and then hiding in the shadows to sneak up on our soldiers. André Marie admonished that he had seen every French soldier returning from the battlefield talk about the rat holes of the Vietnamese. The ghostly figures that emerged from the grass and bushes slit the throats of the sleeping French soldiers with sharp knives.

"There are many ways to deal with guerrilla warfare, and the French army is only fighting the Viet Cong in the most inefficient way." Albert unceremoniously pointed out the tactical mistakes of the French, "Your carpet bombing is nothing but a futile exercise, bombing the Viet Cong base areas on a large scale without accurate intelligence, without knowing what they are best at sports warfare." When you scorch one piece of land, people live well in another. Besides, the Viet Cong's current anti-aircraft fire network can be regarded as being established, don't you think that the recent loss of aircraft is a bit too much? ”

In December last year, a French command plane was shot down in Gaoping, and Lambert, deputy chief of the general staff of the French Expeditionary Force, and all his staff members were killed. It can also be regarded as a resounding slap in the face to the arrogant Frenchman.

Paul Maradier, as Minister of Defence, was naturally dismissive of Albert's opinion, "What is the perfect strike tactic according to His Highness's approach?" ”

"Fighting guerrilla warfare in a guerrilla manner, and using small-scale scorched earth tactics, is the best course of action." Albert explained to Paul Maradir what this meant: "Dispatch guerrilla warfare fighters to attack their base areas and disrupt the enemy's disposition, provided that they have a certain amount of information." At the same time, the villages that supported the Viet Cong were massacred, especially those who supported the Viet Cong, and then generously funded other neutral areas, so as to divide the Viet Cong's forces. Of course, if the Viet Cong also adopts the same strategy, you will also have the advantage of public opinion in the propaganda war. ”

Paul Maadir shook his head and said, "But there are too many and scattered people who support the Viet Cong, and this approach will not be possible, and it may not be worth the loss." ”

"So you need military contractors to do all the dirty stuff for you, while my private military operatives can parachute into Viet Cong strongholds, complete those tasks and then retreat back from the blockade."

Seeing André Mari's hesitant and evasive eyes, Albert knew that the last obstacle was almost cleared, and he threw a look at the Prime Minister, signaling to return the home field to him, and the Prime Minister cleared his throat and said, "Naturally, the two of you have a slight doubt about the use of such weapons of mass destruction, right?" But did you know that the Americans didn't make a sound at all about the explosion in the Atlantic? ”

Andre Mari and Paul Maadir pricked up their ears at the same time, they had heard about it, but they still wanted to say it from the mouth of the person concerned. The prime minister straightened his attitude and said mysteriously, "Because Belgium and the United States made a deal, because Belgium has a strong technical reserve." ”

Paul Maradir almost blurted out a deal, but he was glad he hadn't said that stupid thing when he saw Arshile van Aak's expression. André Mari began to think about the keyword "strong technical reserves", Belgium is a small country, where did it get so many top technologies?

Sure enough, Arshile Van Ack didn't intend to reveal the inside story of the deal, he just brushed it off, but threw out a piece of news that shocked the two Frenchmen even more.

"From the end of the deal, whatever Belgium does, as long as what it does does not go backwards, the United States will show some degree of tacit support. Of course, the premise is that the interests of the Americans are not harmed. ”

Albert felt that the Prime Minister's last sentence was simply nonsense, that all the tacit actions of the United States towards Belgium would be premised on national interests, and that any strategic partner and any deep friendship in the face of interests were all fake and empty things.

"Of course, I believe that Belgium and France will have more opportunities for cooperation in the future, especially in the field of weapons technology." Prime Minister Arshile van Ack blinked slyly and said to them.
