Chapter 206: Southwest Estuary

Farouk's words instantly made countless thoughts flash through Wang Ye's mind.

The first thing that comes up is the first and most superficial question, that is, what is the intention and purpose of Farouk bringing up this matter in front of himself and in front of many leaders?

It is not difficult to think that first of all, the two biggest dependences behind Pakistan are Lao Mei and Lao Tie, and in front of Lao Tie, he told Lao Mei and himself about it, in a sense, it can be understood as being closer to Lao Tie, showing that although he hooked up with Lao Mei, he did not deviate from Lao Tie, and was still closer to Lao Tie.

Such a purpose is naturally to continue to maintain the relationship with Lao Tie and gain greater support in the future.

However, this is only the most superficial possibility.

And at a deeper level, you can think about it in reverse, didn't Lao Mei consider the possibility of this situation? They paid so many dollars for Pakistan for war aid, didn't they think that Pakistan might use this money to spend here in Lao Tie? Can't Lao Mei meet their consumption needs? Now they take Lao Mei's money and come to Lao Tie to spend here, what kind of situation is this?

In addition, the more important point is that the United States itself is a big arms country, the world's largest exporter of weapons and equipment, and they can fully satisfy Pakistan themselves.

Besides, the military-industrial complex behind the US politicians cannot be underestimated, how can they allow Pakistan to take the money given by the United States and go to Lao Tie's house to spend? It's simply not possible!

Even from the perspective of conspiracy theories, it is most likely that the United States will provide war dollar support to Pakistan with one hand, export weapons to Pakistan with the other, take money from the treasury, and eat meat for the hungry wolves in the military industry.

To put it in a simple way:

Pakistan is like a gentle and gentle little girl like a little white sheep, and recently found a gold owner father Lao Mei, Lao Mei is rich! directly threw a large amount of dollars to Pakistan, but Pakistan, a little girl, turned around and found her former first boyfriend, and took the money to spend entertainment and be happy, according to normal logic, should Lao Mei be angry? Is this behavior problematic?

In a sense, is this a kind of "betrayal" or "husband's offense"?

Not to mention, Lao Mei's big money is full of strength, his ears and eyes are numerous, his intelligence network is amazing, and Pakistan did not deliberately hide his behavior, so Lao Mei will inevitably know that Pakistan is holding its own money and wants to go to Lao Tie, the first love to consume, so in this way, the angry Lao Mei should have reacted, and even could have stopped it, but in the end, they didn't seem to do it, so why is this?

So, there is only one truth in the end!

That is, Lao Mei is a cuckold lover? Bah! Of course not, the truth is that what Lao Mei likes is never the little white sheep of Pakistan, but the old iron behind her!

In just a short moment, the thoughts in Wang Ye's mind surged, and the reasoning was interlocking.

If, according to the line of thought just now, combined with what Farouk said, saying that Americans want to see themselves in a third country, then their meaning is actually very obvious.

By doing so, they are showing their sincerity to themselves and to the old iron behind them!

Of course, all of the above are analyses from a political perspective, and from a military strategic perspective, it makes sense, because this set of operations by the United States makes Wang Ye feel very familiar!

That's post-World War II Japan!

After the end of World War II, Japan was severely sanctioned as a defeated country, but this sanction did not last long, and after the start of the war on the Stick Peninsula, the United States began to support Japan again in order to seek a fast, efficient and timely supply and support point for weapons and equipment.

The most famous, which is what Wang Ye hates the most, is Toyota!

At the beginning, Toyota, as a representative enterprise of Japan's military industry in World War II, had already come to the verge of bankruptcy, but the United States gave them a large number of orders in order to obtain military vehicles at close range, and even transferred a large number of technology and equipment to them.

Now, the United States can be said to have done the same thing.

Although their strategic projection and transportation capabilities are not what they used to be, it is obvious that this time they have no way to shoot directly, and the Indo-Pakistani war will inevitably be a long-term tug-of-war.

As a result, the Red Star Consortium and the Lao Tie behind it were naturally selected by them, because Lao Tie was originally the target they wanted to woo, and now doing so not only found support for Pakistan, but also indirectly attracted Lao Tie, and did not have to pay more benefits, this is simply killing two birds with one stone!

In an instant, the thought flashed.

The last thing that came to Wang Ye's mind was a question.

"In that case."

"What do I, we, and this country get?"

In the next second, Wang Ye's face was as usual, he didn't look out of the ordinary at all, with a faint smile, he stood up and said to Farouk:

"Then then, Mr. Farouk, let's sign the contract!"

"I would like to give you the same words I gave you again to celebrate the conclusion of this partnership."

"I wish you the peace you want soon!"

Speaking of this, Wang Ye smiled slightly teasingly, then sighed and said:

"You may not believe it, Mr. Farouk."

"Although I am engaged in weapons, and it is not an exaggeration to say that I am an arms dealer, in fact, my dream is world peace and the unity of the people of the whole world!"

Hearing Wang Ye say this, he didn't expect Farouk to nod seriously, leaned over and shook hands with Wang Ye, and said very sincerely and seriously:

"No, Mr. Wang Ye, I'm not complimenting, I completely believe your words."

"Because in my opinion, peace is relative, not absolute, any country, only with a strong enough weapon, can obtain a long-term peace, peace without strong strength, just the handouts of the strong, just like the snow on a close spring day, the sun only needs to shine, and then disappear without a trace."

"So there's nothing wrong with weapons, it's people who are at fault, it's the invaders!"

"And we, we will definitely win the final victory!"

Then the two sides shook hands vigorously, entered the contract signing stage, after determining the specific purchase content and purchase amount, the only issue left for the two sides to discuss, that is, the delivery cycle and delivery method.

"One thing I must warn you of, Mr. Farouk, is that."

"Although our main delivery method this time is by sea, and the batch of delivery is relatively large, we are friends, so I must advise my friends to be careful of threats at sea!"

"We have to be prepared for subsequent land deliveries, so you must not lose the northern part of Kesmere, even if you do your best, you must defend it, because if the land passage is cut off, the sea passage is blocked, then you will become an island, and the whole world will not be able to support you."

"Not even the United States!"

"After all, although their transport planes are very powerful, I don't think they can deliver so many supplies, right?"

Regarding Wang Ye's statement, Farouk nodded seriously, of course he knew the operation of his old opponent, nodded solemnly and said:

"We get it!"

Subsequently, the two sides signed an agreement, and the hands of the two men were once again heavily clasped together.

"Happy working together!"

"For peace!"

The voices of the two people were not the same, the first sentence was said by Farouk, and the second sentence was said by Wang Ye, and the last two people glanced at each other and couldn't help laughing.

After the laughter was over, the atmosphere was much more relaxed, after all, the contract had been signed.

Farouk, who sat down again, looked at the young man sitting across from him with great interest, recalled what Sattaler had said, and then asked:

"Now, that's the last reason I've come to see you."

"Before I left, we communicated with our ally Saudi Arabia, and Prince Satler repeatedly proposed to us that if we could see you, we must ask you for your opinion, and even Prince Satler said that before asking you, do not clarify any definite words, just say that you are seeking your opinion, and you must be given enough freedom to play."

"To be honest, we are quite confused about Prince Satler's statement, but out of trust in Prince Satler, I am here to ask this question, do you have any opinion?"

In fact, after hearing what Sattler said, the leaders of Pakistan were quite puzzled, and even doubted that Sattaler, the former intelligence chief, could it be that his brain was broken, right? Or was he cursed by Wang Ye? How can you trust and respect him so much? However, in line with the principle that the words of the gold lord are important words, they finally regarded this issue as an important issue, and asked Farouk to bring it up at the end and listen to what Wang Ye would say.

And before Farouk came, he actually didn't have the slightest expectation for this issue, even if there were indeed some rumors about Wang Ye circulating in the international desert, but in Farouk's opinion, it couldn't explain anything.

But now, after only two days of contact with Wang Ye, he unconsciously changed his mind, because he found that this young man was very, very different, maybe those rumors were not groundless, so now Farouk is very much looking forward to Wang Ye's next answer!

Under the gaze of Farouk and many leaders, Wang Ye said with a smile:

"First of all, thank you to my friend Satler for his praise of me."

As soon as these words came out, a faint laughter sounded at the scene, even Farouk was no exception, and Wang Ye continued to take care of himself:

"Secondly, thank you for the importance that your leadership and Mr. Farouk have taken to me."

"Then I will not shirk and say my opinion."

Hearing this, Farouk put away the smile on his face, nodded seriously, and listened respectfully, while Wang Ye coughed lightly, his expression became solemn, and for a while, there was a special temperament spread on his body, which made the atmosphere of the entire conference room become depressed, and at the same time Wang Ye said:

"Since this inquiry is not limited to the topic, let's discuss the long-term peace and economic development of Pakistan after the end of this conflict."

In an instant, Farouk was not calm, it was too advanced and too important for Pakistan!

"Record!"

He turned his head and said to the staff next to him, and then Wang Ye continued:

"Actually, my perception of peace is the same as that of you, Mr. Farouk."

"Peace depends on one's own fists, not the handouts of others, so if Pakistan wants long-term peace and stability, then it must improve its own strength."

"And if you want to improve your strength, there are nothing more than two points, one is the economic foundation, and the other is military scientific research."

"Let's talk about the economic foundation first, that is, your economic problems, we can find that if you look at your geographical location, in fact, whether from a global perspective or a regional perspective, your geographical conditions are not very good, in terms of resources, it is not as good as Saudi Arabia, in terms of location, it is not as good as Egypt, in terms of land, it is not as good as Australia, and in terms of transportation, it is not as good as Japan and South Korea."

"Therefore, whether it is the mineral resources industry, the waterway transportation industry, agriculture, animal husbandry, processing and manufacturing industry, it is not easy to do it."

"Not to mention, you are an enemy to the east, and you are a poorer country to the west, and it seems that there is no benefit, but a lot of trouble."

In the face of Wang Ye's analysis, Farouk nodded frequently, although he was born in the military, but now he is in a high position, and his attention has long been not only military, so it is clear that what Wang Ye said is the truth, and it is precisely because of these facts that Pakistan's economy has not been very good.

"But there's no way to get there, isn't it?"

With Wang Ye's smile and voice, in an instant, whether it was Farouk or many leaders present, their eyes looked at Wang Ye more focused, and then Wang Ye said with a smile:

"There is an old saying in my country, which says that the mountain eats the mountain and the water eats the water."

"So what do you rely on?"

In everyone's curious and expectant expressions, Wang Ye smiled, pointed to his feet and said:

"Of course, it depends on the big country to eat the big country!"

"What if, what if! Let's take a small example, if we can build a road from Yanjing, not too high, just wide enough and solid enough, and then go all the way to the west, and finally to your country, all the way south to the port, what changes do you think this road will bring? ”

At that moment, everyone present was actually stunned, and Farouk was even more brain-buzzing, such a highway of tens of thousands of kilometers, the construction is very difficult? Invest more, huh? What's the point? Is it a pure loss of money?

When his mind didn't turn a corner, in fact, some of the leaders present already had joy in their eyes!

At the same time, Wang Ye said with a smile:

"I'll give you an example of change."

"The simplest, that is to collect tolls, just like Egypt, since they have taken back the right to collect the Suez Canal, it is simply a person sitting at home, money from the sky, after all, the Suez Canal is the key point of the world's east-west shipping, if you don't take the Suez Canal, then you have to go around the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, not to mention the reduction of timeliness, the key fuel cost is not money?"

"Let's get down to business!"

"If this road can be built, then with the goods of our Red Star Consortium to Saudi Arabia, there is no need to detour the Strait of Malacca, so at least the timeliness can be greatly increased, right?"

"And the goods that come and go between the entire West and our country can go like this, don't you sit and collect money?"

"Even, if you feel that the land transportation is not fast enough to collect money, and it is not neat enough, then you can build the railway! The two sides directly build a railway all the way through, is it fast enough? Is it neat enough? ”

At this moment, accompanied by Wang Ye's voice, Farouk was already "buzzing" in his mind, because he found that this business was indeed done!

But there is a premise, that is, this old iron can be developed, and the economic scale is large enough!

"But what if there are no goods?"

In the end, Farouk couldn't help but ask this question, and Wang Ye smiled and waved his hand and said:

"Your question is well thought out, but I can't answer you."

"If you just talk about the transportation of goods in the consortium, it will definitely not make money, but any investment is risky! What if our next economy suddenly takes off? You're right? ”

At this moment, many of the leaders present had fully understood the meaning of Wang Ye's words, their palms were trembling slightly, and they could only put them under the table, pressing their knees hard to restrain this action.

At the same time, hearing Wang Ye say this, Farouk nodded silently, which was regarded as agreeing with this statement, while Wang Ye continued:

"Of course, you can't actually make a lot of money by collecting tolls, after all, you can't make money if you collect less, and you can take a detour if you collect more, so tolls are not the key."

"The key is a sentence I like very much, that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads!"

"As long as this road is built, the two countries can be connected by this economic artery, and on both sides of this road, there will be countless industries, such as handicrafts, light industry, processing industry, supporting industry, and even tourism, etc., and the emergence of these categories is likely to drive the whole Pakistan to become rich!"

"Not to mention, how quickly will you buy weapons and ammunition from me in the future and ship them over?"

"That neighbor of yours won't be able to sleep when he sees this road, right? Because if they want to do it with you again, they have to think about whether you will buy 10,000 tanks overnight, and then transport them overnight, and finally go straight to the battlefield and bulldoze them all the way! ”

"Even if this road is repaired, our Red Star Consortium can cooperate with you!"

"For example, build a branch factory on your side, or work with your factory to produce something that can make peace and ship it to Africa? Shipped to the desert? Maybe even to Europe and Central Asia! ”

In the end, Wang Ye's voice already had a certain sense of demagogy, and Farouk was not calm at all!
