266. Bow to reality
Originally, he thought that the expression on Metershaw's face would be absolutely surprised, but when Artyom finished speaking, he found that the expression on Metershaw's face was still the same as before, and his expression was like a poker face.
"I know."
"You know?" Artyom smiled.
Metshaw nodded: "Yes, I know now, Dopombe actually began to hate me after my father died, but it's just that because of Oliveira's existence, he had to accept me temporarily, and even the last time I lost the Battle of Nial, I admit that my carelessness is the main reason, but the lack of follow-up support is also a reason, so Dopombe did everything possible to drive me out of Nial, hey, I don't know how Oliveira is now, I estimate the current situation, His life was no better. ”
Artyom's meeting with Metshaw this time was mainly to provoke the relationship between Metshaw and Dopombe, and as for Pugachev, since he was his own man, if he provoked, it would be easy for Metshaw to see his intentions; As for Oliveira, since he was also involved, maybe this guy would be useful, so Artyom didn't intend to say it.
"Oliveira is a bloody warrior, even if Dopombe makes things difficult for him at every turn, I'm sure he'll get through, at least for now, he's a man he can trust."
"I know, so I'm a little confused right now. ”
"What's there to be confused about, as long as you stick to your career, you will succeed after all, besides, you still have a lot of network resources in Faransi, these are all available, to be honest, between you and Doponbei, I am quite optimistic about you."
Metshaw was deceived by Oliveira and the late Jim Ann, which was completely different from his education and intelligence, but he still kept a clear head when dealing with Artyom's active overtures, for him, Artyom was just an opportunistic man, and the reason why he was optimistic about himself was actually optimistic about the network resources behind him.
At present, compared to Dopongbe, Metshaw's biggest advantage is the rich network resources in Faransi, but other than that, he has nothing.
This time, during his studies at the Bari Military Academy, Metershaw also met with his seniors and classmates, and many seniors and classmates also expressed their willingness to contribute to his ideals.
Even individual fanatical guys offered to provide financial support.
Of course, Metshaw also knows the conditions behind these financial grants.
He was a man brainwashed by romantic Franco-French liberalism, and he rejected all of these fundings.
So far, his forces are still very weak, and he is so weak that he does not even have the confidence to lead people to fight guerrillas.
"I can provide money and materials." Seeing that Metshaw was silent, Artyom also spoke.
"I'm sorry, I don't need it right now." Metershaw said with a smile.
"No, what you need, man, I feel like we can be comrades-in-arms, everything is equal for us, and we won't trade it for harming your Niyal, I'm sincere."
"But your efforts will not be proportional to your gains."
"Yes, that's right now, but if you succeed, I promise I'll have a great gain, at least a friend at the level of the elder."
"And then? Is that all you have to offer? ”
"Then we can change the fate of your country's poverty through trade."
Finally, in Metershaw's opinion, Artyom reveals his true purpose.
"The point is, is this trade fair?" Metshaw was skeptical.
Artyom also did not hide it, "Of course it's unfair, to be honest, man, for a backward country, sometimes you have to sacrifice some of your country's interests in exchange for development, just take the dollar settlement, isn't this just the United States people naked cutting the wool of each country?" There is no absolute fairness, only the right and the inappropriate. ”
Metshaw didn't expect Artyom to also express his opinion bluntly, and after listening to it, his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
Seeing the contemplative look on this fellow's face, Artyom couldn't help but smile faintly, took out a cigarette to himself, lit it, and took a hard puff.
When he finished sucking, he found that Metshaw was still thinking.
What a nerd.
Artyom actually couldn't figure out what Metshaw was thinking, so he walked up to him and patted him lightly on the shoulder: "Man, you should see the world more than in the ivory tower." ”
Metershaw nodded subconsciously.
"Thank you, Mr. Artyom, I will consider what you said today, no matter what, and thank you for providing me with some information in a timely manner."
"I'm taking you as a friend, Mr. Metshaw, the world is very realistic, you have no abilities and ideals, but without the support of money, all this is still equal to zero. Only money is the best proof of ability in this world. ”
……
After meeting with Metshaw for more than an hour, Artyom left the Military Academy, and he was considered to have completed his mission, and next, he was going to Barley Fashion Week to cheer on one of his favorite supermodels, and by the way, to see if there could be further development between the two.
And after Artem left, Metshaw stayed alone in the stadium and thought a lot, savoring what Artyom just said, he thought that it actually made sense, those elders provided financial support to themselves, nothing more than a fancy to Nial's rich natural resources.
He tried his best to make Nial an independent country, but this may just be his personal thoughts, including his seniors and classmates, who more or less revealed some words of interest between words.
In this world, people are really realistic.
Metershaw said secretly, "It seems that I really have to put my ideals on hold for the time being, and it is better to be pragmatic." ”
He shared his idea with SCHOTT, who immediately agreed.
In fact, Short does not approve of Metshaw's independence and freedom, but he is not easy to oppose openly, he is an opportunist at heart, he just wants to grab huge economic benefits for himself, so that he can live without worry, now Metshaw has decided to take a pragmatic route, naturally he is in favor of raising his hands.
He even said he would get involved.
Metershaw agreed without hesitation.
Both of them smiled knowingly, but Short saw through Metshaw's thoughts, and Metshaw knew nothing about it.
