Chapter 270: No, I have to add money!
In his sleep, Wang Ye was dreaming of integrating farming and warfare and helping his fellow Africans to prosperity and strength, when he suddenly heard a hurried knock on the door.
"Juliet? And Romeo."
The voice of the staff came from outside the door, Wang Ye flashed this thought in his confused mind, and the next second the whole person suddenly woke up, sat up with a rub, and subconsciously picked up his watch to see, at this moment, it was a quarter past twelve o'clock in the evening local time in Tanzania, and more than two hours had passed since he went to sleep!
"What's wrong? What's going on? ”
Then Wang Ye hurriedly said this, and the hurried voice of the staff outside the door explained:
"The American woman, Juliet, suddenly called and said that she had something very important to tell the factory director, and now the call is still waiting!"
"Director, are you taking it? Or how do we reply to her? ”
Hearing the staff say this, Wang Ye frowned slightly, Blake has just been dead for less than twelve hours, and the revenge on the Americans' side has just begun, what is the urgency for Juliet to find herself?
The problem of negotiation? Unlikely! Although the Americans are in a hurry, they should not be in such a hurry, so that as soon as Blake dies, they will change their ways, and besides, Juliet is at most a deputy, or because she has a personal relationship with Blake, she cannot lead the negotiation at such a level, so it is likely that it is not a matter of negotiation.
Or is it because of Blake's death? Follow-up U.S. retaliation?
The thought flashed through Wang Ye's mind, and Wang Ye said while putting on his pants:
"I'll be right over."
Now is the hottest month in Tanzania, Wang Ye directly wore army green pants and a two-tendon vest printed with the red star logo and the five words "Red Star Consortium" and rushed out, the staff in front led the way, and the two people hurried to Wang Ye's office, sure enough, the microphone was still on, and two staff members were waiting.
"Hey, I'm Wang Ye."
Wang Ye picked up the phone and heard the sound of "hiss" in the phone, and asked at the same time.
Almost at the moment when Wang Ye's voice fell, Juliet's voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Mr. Wang Ye, you should remember me, right? I'm Juliet. ”
"I have a very important matter to contact you, because the phone call is not secure enough, so I would like to go to the Iron Fist Security base to meet with you now, do you agree?"
Wang Ye pondered for a second, then asked:
"I need to know what you're going to say and what I'm going to say, a rough range."
"Otherwise, with all due respect, I don't want to receive any guests at night, and I'm not very happy to be woken up from your sleep."
Faced with Wang Ye's statement, Juliet on the other end of the phone was silent for a second, and then said:
"On the military operation against the 'Akandi Restoration Congress.'"
After finishing speaking, the phone fell silent, and after waiting for at least five or six seconds, Wang Ye said:
"Okay, then come here!"
Then the two hung up the phone, and Wang Ye's eyes flashed slightly.
Juliet's statement, in fact, Wang Ye had vaguely guessed on the way just now that Blake's death must be a "provocation" and "humiliation" for Americans, so retaliation is necessary, and this revenge can be divided into two levels, one is direct and the other is fundamental.
The direct retaliation is to strike at this Akandi Restoration Congress, after all, there is a debtor and a debtor, and Blake was beaten down by them, so they should pay the price.
As for the ways of retaliation, there are also many ways for the United States, but in Wang Ye's view, there are nothing more than three.
One: Support the Sudan's official forces and clear the armed group in Sudan.
Two: Air raids, directly blow up their lair.
Three: Lao Mei personally sent troops, and the soldiers were like grates, killing all the people who organized the restoration of the country.
But the problem is that these three ways have various advantages and disadvantages, such as supporting Sudan, the official military strength of Sudan is not strong, and a lot of support is needed to form a relatively large oppressive force on the armed organization of the Restoration Congress that has been supported by Libya, which is very expensive, not to mention that Sudan is not a pro-American country, so it is even more difficult.
As for the air strike, in a sense, this is a superficial project, and it is impossible to completely eliminate this Akandi restoration country with the help of air strikes, so it can only kill a few hundred people casually, and then say that the revenge operation is completed, and it can be regarded as an explanation for the international community, otherwise the person of the dignified overlord is dead, and the overlord has no reaction, isn't it a shame?
If Lao Mei can send a large number of troops and invest a lot of money, materials and time, it is entirely possible to uproot this organization, and even shake the eggs, but the problem is that the investment must be very large, and there is almost no benefit.
Not to mention, doing so almost stepped into the "trap" of this incident.
Obviously, Wang Ye can see that this missile attack was planned by Libya, and this Akandi restoration will be just a cover, and the problem behind it is the conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union, in essence, this is an act of the Soviet Union in order to attract, disperse and consume the military strength of the United States.
Precisely because of this.
If the Americans want to really carry out "fundamental" retaliation, they should directly send troops to Libya, instead of air strikes on the Akandi Restoration Congress, in a sense, this is already a perfunctory and pure face project, it is obvious that the United States has clearly seen the conspiracy behind Blake's death, even if it is humiliating, it will definitely not step on the pit.
Wang Ye had already guessed this when he listened to the radio this afternoon.
"So, what the hell are the Americans doing?"
"Suddenly you don't think you can rely on air strikes alone? Think you've lost too much face? Or did the air raid not go well? ”
"But the ground is not enough to support the marines of the three countries, and the time period to support the Sudanese troops is too long, so I thought of the Iron Fist Security Company?"
"But they're in too much of a hurry, aren't they? Great evening"
Sitting in his office, Wang Ye drank hot tea and thought, the old electric fan "buzzed" and rotated, until the office door was pushed open by the staff:
"Director, Juliet has been brought to the conversation room, and the others are in the parking lot."
Hearing what the staff said, Wang Ye nodded and stood up, a smile appeared on his face, and then said:
"Let's go! Let's meet this woman for a moment! ”
A moment later, Wang Ye came to the room where he had met Blake before, but in just a few days, Blake had already gone to see God, and Juliet sat in the same position where Blake had sit, that is, the left hand end of the lock of the long desk, directly opposite Wang Ye.
"Miss Juliet, we meet again."
After Wang Ye sat down, he said with an expressionless face, only to see that Juliet looked quite tired, completely without the "run" when they met a few days ago, it was obvious that Blake's death hit her hard, no matter what kind of shady relationship their father and daughter had, or the real father-daughter relationship, Wang Ye did not show his "schadenfreude", this is basic politeness.
"Hello Mr. Wang Ye, I visited you at night, I am disturbed."
Juliet's voice was slightly hoarse and said, Wang Ye waved his hand and said:
"Okay, big night, let's stop talking nonsense."
"Miss Juliet, please speak! You came to me in such a hurry, what is there that needs to communicate with me face-to-face, and you have to keep it confidential. ”
Hearing Wang Ye say this, although Juliet looked tired, she had regained her composure, considered her words, and then said:
"I have been commissioned by the Hexagonal Operational Command Center in Africa to visit you for two purposes."
"First, we hope that Iron Fist Security can send armed forces into Sudan to meet and support our marines."
"Second, we hope to reach an agreement with Iron Fist Security to hire Iron Fist Security to enter Sudan and carry out the liquidation of the armed group of the Akandi Restoration Congress."
As soon as Juliet's voice fell, Wang Ye, who was sitting opposite, frowned, and then asked:
"Something is wrong with your Marines?"
"They had a head-on confrontation with the Akandi Restoration Congress?"
Faced with Wang Ye's question, Juliet did not evade, nodded and said:
"That's right, originally this Marine Corps only entered the area where the plane crashed for rescue and investigation, and prepared for the subsequent work such as wreckage recovery, not to attack the Akandi Restoration Congress."
"However, the courage of this Akandi Restoration Organization is very amazing."
"After they shot down the plane with anti-aircraft missiles, they didn't really all retreat out of the mountainous area, but hid in the mountainous area, avoiding the patrols of the U-2 reconnaissance aircraft and F-16 fighter formations that arrived over the area, and launched ambushes and sneak attacks on our marines after they arrived."
"According to the information we have received, the number of enemies is unknown, but it should be more than a thousand, and our marines have less than four hundred, so after the ambush exchange began, they were at a disadvantage and had to start retreating, and it is currently determined that about one hundred and fifty people have successfully withdrawn and temporarily escaped the enemy's attack."
"But they have lost their means of transportation, they haven't left the mountains, they haven't really gained safety."
"And our fighters, because of the impact of darkness and melee, are also unable to provide effective support, and the enemy is obviously a highly trained unit, they are stuck in a time gap, and when our fighters arrive in the skies, the large-scale engagement is over, and our fighters have lost their targets."
"That's why we want to hire Iron Fist Security to go into the mountains and pick up the remnants of our Marines."
Accompanied by Juliet's voice, Wang Ye finally understood the cause and effect, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, feeling the wildness of Cardazo and the Akandi Restoration Congress, and at the same time there was a trace of admiration in their hearts, because they may have really seen through Lao Mei's "weakness", so they dared to be so unscrupulous.
At this point, they are better than Satler.
In terms of "turf" area, at this point in time in 83 years, the United States and the Soviet Union were basically open, the basic plate of the United States was Western Europe, the basic plate of the Soviet Union was Central Asia and Eastern Europe, and as for the rest of the world, it was mainly based on proxy wars.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Ye dared to engage in an iron fist security company and dare to come to Africa for development, because neither the United States nor the Soviet Union looked down on Africa, and now they have no large-scale garrisons in Africa, several armed interventions, and the Soviet Union also sent a faction of airborne troops, and most of the United States supported agents, or directly carried out air raids.
In this way, it is reasonable for the United States to cooperate with an iron fist, they have no people, and it takes time to transfer people over, and when their people are transferred, the armed organizations that are good at fighting guerrilla warfare in the mountains have long eaten up the remaining 150-odd people in the joint marines of the United States, Britain, and France.
"No problem, but we're only responsible for bringing them out."
"What's your offer?"
After briefly thinking about the pros and cons, Wang Ye said so, and Juliet said without thinking:
"Three million dollars!"
This figure, of course, was calculated by the actuaries of the Hexagon, and the reference object is, of course, the cost of the United States itself sending troops to the rescue, although it sounds like a lot, but in fact it is not much.
After all, in the face of an unknown number of guerrillas from the Akandi Restoration Congress, if they want to take out these 150 people, they must mobilize at least 2 or 3,000 people, and the 2 or 3,000 soldiers, plus the corresponding equipment, weapons, and vehicles, all have to be transported by airplane, and the cost cannot be low, not to mention, the timeliness is much worse.
"Whew!"
At that moment, Wang Ye smiled directly.
"Miss Juliet, stop kidding."
"This is not a group to travel, we are taking a big risk, after all, you are not even sure how many enemies there are, if the other party is willing to give us this face, it is just a small-scale tentative attack, just let everyone go."
"However, if they pour their hatred for you on our heads and start a frontal battle, then our losses will be too great, and maybe our personnel will also fall into it, and in the end we can only increase our manpower again, in the words of our country, that is, more water and more water, and the result will be uncontrollable."
"In the end, if this battle is fought for a few months, the soldiers' pensions alone can make us go out of business."
In the end, Wang Ye knocked on the table directly and said:
"I'll say a number, 50 million dollars."
"Okay, if it doesn't, forget it."
Faced with Wang Ye's statement, Juliet's mouth opened and closed slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it, and finally she changed her direction and said hesitantly:
"Perhaps, we can synthesize, as I just said, I came to visit Mr. Wang Ye tonight, there are two purposes."
"The first purpose is to receive personnel, and the second purpose is to follow up the clearance."
"Why don't we negotiate these two projects together and finally determine a price that is satisfactory to both parties"
However, without waiting for Juliet to finish speaking, Wang Ye directly interjected and said at the same time:
"No, no, Miss Juliet, I think you misunderstood me."
"The first purpose, we can take over, the second purpose, don't talk about it!"
As soon as these words came out, Juliet was stunned!
