"Mr. John Shepard?"

"It's me!"

"Please come with me, there's a gentleman who wants to talk to you!"

In another meeting room, several robed Arab men were enjoying tea and dried fruit before Shepard was led into the room by a waiter.

"Sir, the guest has arrived!"

"Prepare a refreshment for our guests, too!"

Shepard, who was already drinking a full amount of water next door, wanted to refuse, but almost fell to the ground when he noticed one of the Saudi men, not that this man behaved abnormally, but the other party's face, and at some point in later life, Shepard was not often seen on the Internet.

It's just that by that time, his identity had evolved from a close friend of the Americans to an evil enemy, and the Americans wanted to strangle him to death, and the organization he founded became a nightmare for Americans for decades.

As for who this famous gentleman is, we have to mention the story of the 767 type cruise missile, the largest man-made heavy cruise missile in the circuit, manufactured by Boeing, although this missile only struck once, but it achieved remarkable results, destroying two giant air defense towers set up by the United States in New York, killing and wounding nearly 10,000 people.

Shepard almost didn't hold back when he thought of this face, after all, this is a real heavyweight, but the things the latter did were decades later, and by that time, it was not the Soviets who invaded Afghanistan, but the Americans, I don't know if the CIA would remember its decades of sponsorship of each other on the afternoon of the bombing of the Twin Towers.

But now, he is just a young and promising Saudi Arabian real estate entrepreneur, and he came to Shepard just to give his fellow *** in a foreign country some help.

"Mr. Shepard, I would like to know, what do you think of the current situation in Afghanistan and what kind of weapons do my compatriots need?"

"Well, sir, I noticed that you are very pessimistic about the situation in Afghanistan, and I can understand that Afghanistan cannot defeat the Soviet Union, but that does not mean that the situation will continue like this forever!"

"Oh, why do you say that?"

"Because the Afghans have your constant blood transfusions, and besides, your goal should not be anything to expel the Soviet Union, to repel the Soviet Union, that is simply unrealistic! What you should do now is to keep depleting the Soviet Union!"

"Consume the Soviet Union?"

Shepard's argument is also novel to these Arabs, because in 1984, the Soviet Union was still at its peak, in the eyes of countless people, it is an insurmountable peak, this view is not surprising, after all, not everyone is born again, Shepard is now telling the world that the Soviet Union will collapse in seven years, everyone can open champagne in advance, then no one will believe it.

"Yes, although the Soviet Union is strong, but this strength also costs money, they are like a business investment in Afghanistan, the cost is higher than the benefit, there will be opposition, and once the opposition increases, then their departure is just around the corner!"

"As for the weapons you are talking about, the weapons of the European and American allies are indeed good, but they are expensive, and they still need real money, so I recommend that country to you, although their weapons are not high-precision, but they are large in quantity, good quality and cheap, and can meet the needs of the Afghan militia, do you think that ten of the 100 people are better to build rifles, or 100 of the 100 people are good to use of inferior rifles?"

"Your point is very interesting, I noticed, you work as a military contractor?"

"Yes, we will be responsible for solving some difficult problems for some national governments, or organizations, etc., of course, this is somewhat similar to mercenaries, but we are not mercenaries, we are regular military contractors!"

For the young and successful Saudi Arabian real estate entrepreneur, he didn't understand the difference between a military contractor and a mercenary, but he knew that the American, who was a few years older than him, seemed to have a lot of ideas, and he was different from the American advisers who looked at the Saudis with their eyelids up all the time, and in his eyes, it seemed that there was no difference between anyone, which made them feel very comfortable

Wear.

"So, Mr. John Shepard, we want you to help us!"

"Uh, what do you need me to do?"

A few big Saudi dog owners chatted, and then said.

"Regarding the procurement of weapons, we hope that you will be in charge?"

"Huh?"

Until he was sent to the Maybach car, Shepard was still a little confused, because he was a little confused about the current situation, because several Saudis wanted him to help transfer from **** to contact the northern neighbor to purchase weapons for the Afghans, and he had to pass through three hands on the way.

Perhaps knowing that this process is a bit complicated, several Saudi dog owners did not let Shepard go to work alone, but also stuffed him with several helpers, including the **** liaison, as well as the bodyguard life assistant driver, etc., and even in order to facilitate Shepard's travel, he also prepared three valuable Bentley cars, not to mention the airlines, as long as Shepard wanted, then now he can take any Saudi airliner that has not yet taken off.

The other party's family does have this energy in Saudi Arabia, they are not only close to the royal family, but also one of the few families whose wealth is second only to the royal family, so it is not surprising that they were able to do those things later.

And the big dog owners don't seem to have any specific concept of the price of weapons, and they don't know what kind of weapons to buy, so Shepard gets a check for 50 million dollars, still without any conditions, the latter just tells Shepard to buy as many weapons as possible!

What is the concept of this price, at that time, the price of a Type 56 submachine gun was 140 yuan, that is, 70 US dollars, and these 50 million US dollars could buy nearly 720,000 Type 56 submachine guns!

And the population of Afghanistan is only about 10 million, and after removing the old, weak, sick and disabled, there can be two or three million young men left, and these 50 million are enough to arm a quarter of the population!

This money seems to be a lot, but for big dogs, it is really nothing, and the Saudi army's foreign procurement of military spending often starts at tens of billions, so this 50 million is really nothing!
