Chapter 794: Openness and Honesty (Medium)
Maybe it was because the hole cards opened by Lu Li were too exciting, and for more than half an hour or so, there was silence in the car, and even Gu Tao, who had planned to test it, fell into silence.
Obviously, the development of things to this point has far exceeded his purview, especially the subversion of the Venezuelan regime, the slightest carelessness will lead to serious consequences, not to mention the attitude of the central decision-making level, the possible violent reaction of the United States alone is enough to make many people think twice.
After all, with the experience of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the vast majority of sensible countries will not easily put their hands in the backyard of the United States, let alone stimulate their nerves, which have become more and more sensitive in recent years.
In this way, the convoy kept quiet, all the way through the bustling streets of the magic capital, and finally stopped in the underground parking lot of a high-rise hotel.
Among them, several cars in the back were parked on the first floor, but the one Lu Li was riding in was parked on the lowest floor.
Just as he wondered why he had stopped in such a remote place, the roller shutter not far in front of him suddenly rose slowly, revealing a device that looked like a lift.
Without saying a word, the driver stepped on the accelerator with his right foot and drove in, and then the roller shutter closed again, and with a strong vibration, the whole unit began to descend slowly, and it was a full minute before it hit the ground with a bang.
At this moment, Lu Li found out that there was a huge, air-raid shelter-like place hidden under the building, and many armed soldiers were guarding all corners, which looked very much like a secret military base.
Lu Li, who had lived in the Demon Capital for six or seven years, knew for the first time that there was such a place within the city, so he couldn't help but take the initiative to ask, "What kind of place is this?"
"Originally built in the 70s as an underground bunker to defend against nuclear attacks, it was transformed into a place to collect and store secrets as the likelihood of nuclear war became less and less likely. Let's go, someone has been waiting for you for hours. With that, Gu Tao opened the car door and took the lead into a closed office on the left.
As soon as he walked in, Lu Li saw an old man in his early sixties sitting on the sofa, exuding the momentum of a superior person all over his body.
There is no doubt that judging from the first impression alone, he is definitely a man who is used to giving orders.
However, out of caution, Lu Li did not intend to speak first, but just stood in place and waited for the introduction.
Gu Tao took two steps forward, bent down and whispered in the old man's ear for a few minutes, probably repeating the content of the conversation just now, and when he finished speaking, he immediately turned around and left, and closed the door casually.
As he left, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became delicate, the old man didn't speak, just stared at Lu Li with two sharp eyes, and Lu Li also didn't speak, and looked back at each other without showing weakness.
After a full five minutes, the old man suddenly showed a smile and commented approvingly: "Yes! Sit down, if you don't mind, can I call you Xiao Lu?"
"Of course, what do you always call you?" Lu Li sat down generously and asked very politely.
"My surname is Sun, so you can call me Sun Lao. Xiao Gu told me just now, you now control that group of South American militants, but I want to know, to what extent can you go with this so-called control?"
In the eyes of outsiders, whether it is gold or rhenium alloy, it is essentially controlled by the militants, so the degree of control over this group of militants has become the most critical issue.
If it is cursoryly controlled, then when the coup d'état in Venezuela is successful, there will inevitably be internal divisions due to the issue of interests, and it will not be long before the CIA will use skillful money and diplomacy to obtain relevant information from one of these interest groups.
But if it is tightly controlled, then a successful coup will turn Venezuela into a dictatorial government, not only will the location of the mining areas not be exposed, but also have great investment potential.
After all, Venezuela not only has a unique geographical location, but also has the world's largest oil reserves, although the oil products are not very good, but it is enough to make the eyes of major energy importers.
Lu Li smiled slightly, and responded in a relaxed tone: "I assure you, there is no national intelligence organization in the world that can buy my people, I don't know if you are satisfied with this answer?"
"You're going too far, aren't you?" the old man questioned, frowning.
"Hehe, believe it or not, anyway, that's all I say, you can try to send someone to buy or win over my men, and see how they react. As he spoke, a hint of amusement flashed in Lu Li's eyes.
The main reason why he dared to speak out was that the existence of a life form like a half-dragon man was a taboo in itself, and any national government would inevitably send an army to capture it when it learned of such a monster, and then send it to the laboratory to be sliced and studied.
Therefore, the few half-dragon people who are currently transformed on the earth do not dare to betray Lu Li no matter what, otherwise as soon as Lu Li reveals his identity, they will have to say goodbye to a peaceful life in minutes, and they will spend the rest of their lives on the run.
Is it a life of luxury, wealth, power, and power?
Or is it a betrayal at great risk?
People with a little brain will make the right choice, not to mention that these people are being recruited at the moment, one of them is an out-and-out anti-government element, among which Vera also has serious sadistic tendencies, only under Lu Li's hands, they can get a certain degree of satisfaction, and they can continue to enjoy a good life.
Staring at Lu Li's calm expression, the old man pondered for a moment, and quickly nodded: "Okay, I believe you." Before the formal negotiations begin, I would like to ask, apart from ensuring that the mining area is not discovered, what is your purpose in seizing power in Venezuela?"
In order to satisfy my ambition, I want to build a country of my own, a real kingdom on earth and heaven, according to the ideas in my head. Lu Li gave the answer without thinking.
As he said this, a golden flame flashed in his pupils.
"Oh, can you tell me what your ideal country looks like?" said the old man, tentatively pretending to be curious.
He could clearly feel the surging ambition of the young man in front of him, so he took the initiative to give up his plan to persuade the other party to stay in the country.
He knows very well that an ambitious guy like this will definitely be a scourge if he stays in the country, and coupled with the huge resources and wealth in his hands, if he doesn't do it, he will make trouble, and it is better to send it out as a partner or ally.
