Chapter 1035 - Good at Calculating?
The night was low.
The port of Serek is brilliantly lit.
Ten kilometers to the south, the poor and backward fishing village is lit with fires.
In Nabia, oil is cheaper than electricity, so the local people are used to lighting oil lamps.
The small fishing village is quite large.
The slums are built along the hills, and most of them are made of wood, iron sheets, oilcloth, etc.
In addition, there are some fishermen who have converted old shipping containers into residences.
There are two roads leading to the port.
One is a winding mountain road with potholes.
The other is an asphalt road along the coastline, but it has fallen into disrepair and has long been potholed.
The people of the small fishing village make a living from fishing, and the means of transportation are naturally fishing boats and cargo ships.
But tonight.
A lot of vehicles rarely came to the small fishing village, and more than a dozen cars came to the mountain col at the east end of the village.
Some curious villagers wanted to see the excitement, but they didn't dare to pass by when they reached the intersection.
Two armed pickup trucks, blocking the road.
The muzzle of the heavy machine gun of the black hole was aimed at the road.
On the ridgeline on both sides, there are still people with guns on guard, where do the villagers dare to join in the fun?
And in the col, a bunch of bonfires were lit.
Set up an iron frame and roast the goats.
Coated with condiments, the fragrance is overflowing.
The goat, a local specialty, is red in color, crispy in skin and tender in meat, not greasy or fatty.
In order to entertain the many guests, Le Moore had twenty goats prepared.
Around the campfire, eating roast lamb, and drinking spirits, you don't feel the cold of the night at all.
I didn't know, I thought it was a group of off-road travel enthusiasts who wanted to camp here.
But in reality?
No matter how delicious roast lamb and spirits are, they are not as attractive as nuclear warheads.
Everyone came here, not for a party, but for a nuclear warhead.
Of course.
Nuclear warheads are not here.
It is impossible for Lemoure to put two nuclear warheads on the scene and let everyone watch the bidding.
It's all loaded with guns, who can make sure that no one eats black?
Roasting and eating meat in a col is nothing more than a collective auction.
The place of delivery is elsewhere, and Lemoure has not told anyone for the time being.
The expected lively auction was not too lively.
Or perhaps the conditions put forward by Lemur are too harsh.
Delegations from several countries are whispering internal discussions.
Although they all want to get a nuclear warhead, these two conditions ......
The first condition is relatively good.
Once the bid is successful, the funds must be credited to several designated accounts within two hours.
Although he didn't see a nuclear warhead, at least Lemoure is here, and if he collects money but doesn't give him a nuclear warhead, isn't he looking for death?
The private bidders are countries that want to acquire nuclear weapons, not private individuals or organizations.
Since it is a country, no matter how poor it is, there are still hundreds of millions and billions.
A resource-based country like Zheguo, oil, coal, iron ore, natural gas, what do you want.
It is a typical 'family mine', if you don't hesitate to sell tens of millions of tons at any cost, won't you have money?
So as long as it's not tens of billions of dollars, it's not a problem.
What's more, many countries have gold reserves.
But the second condition is a headache.
Nuclear warheads and nuclear codes, both are indispensable, and this auction is only a bid for nuclear warheads.
Lemur promised that after the deal was completed, the successful bidders would ensure that he and his men would leave Nabia safely and would give them the nuclear code for free.
Nima!
Promise?
These days, everyone knows that oaths and promises are the least reliable.
In case Lemore and his gang left safely, they did not tell the nuclear code.
What is the use of a nuclear warhead that has been bought at a high price, and it cannot be exploded normally?
Of course.
From the perspective of Lemur and others, these two conditions do not seem excessive.
If you don't collect money in advance, you will directly trade nuclear warheads, what should you do if you are robbed?
And the nuclear code is their talisman, if it is said at the time of the transaction, wouldn't it be easy to be 'black and black'?
And so it goes.
Thinking about it from another perspective, I feel that Lemore's conditions are too harsh.
After all, nuclear warheads and nuclear codes are in their hands.
The countries that came to bid for the auction all have a strong demand for nuclear weapons, but they do not have independent research and development capabilities.
It's rare to have such a good opportunity to buy it directly, how can you easily let it go?
After internal discussions, the delegation was the first to agree to the conditions.
Immediately afterwards, the delegations of several other countries also agreed.
Push the cup and change the lamp, drink wine and eat meat.
Lemore had paper, pens and envelopes for each delegation.
The paper has already been printed, and you only need to fill in the quantity, unit price, and currency unit.
You can only choose one of three currencies, USD, EUR or CNY.
Like tens of trillions of currencies that can only buy bottles of water, there is no need to fill them in.
The auction rules are also quite simple.
Whether you want one or two, the one with the highest unit price wins the bid anyway.
If the unit price is the same, then you have to buy two winning bids.
If the unit price and quantity are still the same, then there is another round.
Other than that.
Lemur also reminded that the nuclear warhead he sold to Wu Jie was not cheap.
But he didn't disclose the exact amount, so everyone could guess.
Anyway, if all the delegations' offers are lower than Wu Jie's price.
Then he won't sell it, he will sell it directly to Wu Jie, and he can make a lot more money.
......
Bonfires are roaring.
Lamb is fragrant.
Lemoure looked at the delegations, and did not have the heart to drink wine and eat meat, gathered in a group and whispered, discussing how to quote.
Wealth and danger are sought!
From the early hours of the morning to now, in less than a day, Lemoure has a feeling of turning over to be the master.
In the past, he was just the leader of a mercenary squad, and he did everything he was told to make money.
But what about now?
Selling Wu Jie a nuclear warhead has already made a lot of money.
Successfully convince the other two squads to defect to the Foundation together and venture out to make a fortune together.
As it stands......
These countries are eager to have nuclear warheads!
So can the auction price be low?
It is very likely that it will fetch a sky-high price of more than a billion or even billions......
It was only 200 million for Wu Jie, and now that I think about it, it is really a loss.
But after all, the money has already been put in the pocket, and if Wu Jie doesn't buy it, there is no way to make these countries believe that the nuclear warheads and nuclear codes are real.
There must be gains if there are losses, and there are gains when there are losses, it doesn't matter!
Pick up the liquor and take a sip.
Lemur didn't want to think too much, and getting the auction in front of him was the top priority.
And at the same time.
The members of the delegations really hated Lemore.
This guy is scheming, he's a chicken thief.
Not to mention how much money is sold to Wu Jie, how much is it? hundreds of millions? billions?
Wu Jie and his wife are notoriously not bad for money.
In the days when the antidote pill was extremely popular, there were two auctions a day, and the transaction volume was tens of billions.
No one knows how much money the two have.
And if you ask Wu Jie directly and ask him how much he spent to buy a nuclear warhead, wouldn't he be self-confessing?
Doesn't that indirectly let Wu Jie know that they are going to buy nuclear warheads privately?
So you can't ask, you can't tell.
Don't think about finding an opportunity, snatch the nuclear warhead, and then ask Wu Jie to buy the nuclear code.
As far as his 'king of the pits' is concerned, it's no wonder that he is not bleeding from the pit!
And if you let Wu Jie know, it will be equivalent to letting Huaxia know.
The world's major powers have strictly restricted the proliferation of nuclear weapons, and anyone who dares to develop nuclear weapons privately will inevitably be subject to international sanctions.
There is still a process for developing nuclear weapons, but if you buy them directly, the nature will be even worse.
Looking for Wu Jie to buy a nuclear password?
Isn't that the same as telling the major powers that they want to have nuclear weapons?
And so it goes.
You can only buy it from Lemore!
How much is the right quote?
Isn't it any different from betting on luck just by guessing?
What is particularly hateful is that Lemur sold one to Wu Jie, so how much is it?
500 million, 1 billion, 2 billion?
If the offer is too low, it will be eliminated directly.
Is it a sky-high price? But the strength does not allow it!
Even if you have a mine at home, you can't squander it casually!
It's really hard to do!
So......
Discussing the offer is not so much about fighting wisdom as it is about fighting guts.
See who is bold enough to dare to quote a high price.
Don't make a fool of yourself with 120 million, just the greedy appearance of Lemore's gang of mercenaries, will you care about this little profit?
Fill it in! Fill it up as high as you can!
If you can't afford two, buy just one
Anyway, it is not about how many nuclear weapons there are, as long as one of them is enough for strategic deterrence.
Concentrate all your budget to buy one, so that the unit price is easier to be higher than buying two at the same time.
......
Bonfires are roaring and food is fragrant.
Lemur is waiting for everyone's final offer.
Delegations were brainstorming how to fill it out.
At an altitude of several thousand meters, a large unmanned reconnaissance plane, using an advanced integrated pod, continued to observe this mountain pass.
Data is sent in real time via a secure satellite communication data link.
Because of the distance, you can only see clearly and not hear, but you can guess that Lemoure brought the delegations of these countries together, and it was by no means a bonfire party to drink wine and eat meat.
More than 300 kilometers away.
Underground at the West Corse Security Base.
At this moment, the monitoring center is brightly lit.
The heads of various departments involved in this case have been discussing for a long time how to plan for action.
It was suggested that Lemur should complete the auction and wait until they actually traded for nuclear warheads before making a surprise move, either by taking the stolen goods or simply killing them, and that the nuclear warheads should never be taken out of Nabia anyway.
But this proposal was also opposed.
Now I only know the location of Lemur, and I don't know where the two nuclear warheads are hidden.
With Lemore's treacherous cunning, even if the auction is completed, he will not take these delegations to the nuclear warhead cache to complete the follow-up deal.
There must have been another group of people, waiting somewhere, who, having received instructions from Lemore, handed over the nuclear warheads to the people sent by the winning buyer to pick up the goods.
Therefore, there is one group of bidders, and another group of people who deliver nuclear warheads.
It's useless to keep an eye on Lemore's group of bidders, it is better to wait for the auction to be completed, intercept Lemore's phone calls, see who he calls, and to whom the people in charge of nuclear warheads will hand them over.
Of course.
This proposal is still being opposed.
After the bidding was completed, did Lemoure not know to make a phone call and inform his accomplices in code?
This kind of top-level mercenary, a seemingly simple sentence, can have meanings that ordinary people can't understand.
In addition, Lemore could have imagined that delegations would write quotes by hand and hide them in envelopes to ensure that they were not visible to each other.
After the auction is completed, he can also handwrite the pick-up location to the winning buyer.
Unmanned aerial vehicles in the air, no matter how advanced the airborne equipment is, they can't be awesome and can read the small handwritten words on the paper.
For this.
Others suggested that it would be better to wait for them to complete the deal.
Anyway, it is already very clear which countries are participating in the auction.
Now that Nabia has been banned from flying and sailing, they want to secretly get nuclear warheads back to their own country, and the only way to smuggle them by land and smuggle them to neighboring countries and then transport them away.
But this proposal has caused even more controversy, what if the winning buyer is patient, does not rush to transport away, finds a place to hide privately, and waits for the rumors to pass?
The mobilization of a large number of warships and planes to ban flights and sails can be done in a short period of time.
But in three or five months, how much military spending will have to be consumed, and which country can afford it?
Moreover, the people of Nabia are not opposed to the long-term ban on flying and sailing? It is strange that the time drags on for too long and there is no trouble.
In a word.
The situation is complex and tricky, and there is simply no perfect solution.
However, knowing that Lemur was bidding at the port of Serek, Wu Jie arranged for Zhang Ren to rush over with a group of people to set up an ambush.
Tang Xiao, who was eager to fight, also went naturally.
At the moment, they have quietly approached the col where the auction site is located, but not too closely.
However, the erection of a laser-guided device can ensure that laser-guided missiles can hit with 100% accuracy and kill accurately.
Lemur, on the other hand, set up an ambush around and defended it tightly.
Can you prevent people and ghosts from convergent combat robots?
The meeting was arguing endlessly, and it was impossible to form a unified opinion, so Tan Lao asked Wu Jie to talk about his ideas.
"I don't have any ideas, I'm done!"
"Kill Lemur and things will be easy!"
