Chapter 124 Preparation for War
The day before returning to the villa, the Death resources had been updated. Ian's ranking remained at sixteenth and had not dropped. However, this update of the Death resources was a bit strange. In addition to mines, rocket launchers, long and short guns, etc.
Except for some regular mid-level Death God resources, there are no high-level resources. For Ian, there is no need to exchange these things now, he can just spend money to buy them.
Another day later, Mira ran out of the basement with messy hair, dirty clothes and the smell of tobacco and alcohol. Ian almost thought a big rat had run in somewhere.
"Do you hide in the basement every day and never come out?" Ian asked with a frown.
Mira smiled disapprovingly and said: "Boss, there is news from country K. Do you want to go down?"
Ian naturally wanted to go down, but when he actually went down, he realized that the computer room below had almost become a garbage room.
"Their news is that they have received military equipment and weapons from you to support them, and they are now planning to attack a small town." Mira pointed to a bunch of codes on the computer and said to Ian.
"Very good, are you just telling me that you received the arms?" Ian was a little doubtful that those people would not contact him specifically to thank him.
"Of course not. What they mean is that the support this time is only with light weapons. Although they can arm their people on a large scale and support sneak attacks on small towns, they cannot defend against the counterattack of the government troops because they do not have
If they have heavy weapons, chariots or tanks, I believe they can launch a larger-scale attack," Mira said.
Ian rubbed his chin and thought about it: These guys are not planning to deceive me. Before, they were willing to kill so many people just for giving them some money. Now, after giving them so many weapons, they even come to ask me for a tank.
and tanks…
After thinking for a while, Ian said to Mira: "Tell them that I will arrange further support only after seeing their actions."
After a while, Mira added: "They agreed, but in addition to arms, they also want food."
Ian smiled helplessly: "Okay, no problem, let them act as soon as possible."
In fact, Ian does not trust these people in country k, but their actions are very fast every time, and they are even more powerful than Karl's side.
Before leaving the basement, Ian said to Mira with a cold face: "I'm going to have dinner here tonight. If you can't clean up here, you'd better start contacting the pastor now."
"Contact the pastor for what?" Mira has not yet reacted.
"Haha..." Wu Qianqian, who was standing at the door, covered her mouth and smiled: "I will host your funeral."
"Ah! What!" Mira immediately let out a strange scream and began to try to put the garbage into the trash can, but he soon found that there was too much garbage and he could not clean it up at all.
But he quickly remembered George and hurriedly took out the phone to contact him: "George, now, immediately, take your people to the basement to help me clean. The boss will have dinner down there tonight."
"Yes, but our work does not include the basement, you know that." George said.
Mira didn't know that Ian and the others were standing next to George at this moment, and they were all trying not to laugh out loud.
"What? I... I will give you money, ten thousand dollars for each person... No, one hundred thousand dollars for each person, okay? Please, Mr. George." Mira was about to cry. He knew very well that Yi
En doesn't like to joke, so when he said that, he must really want to kill himself, at least Mira thought so.
"Okay, one hundred thousand dollars for each person, it's what you said." George hung up the phone, Ian, Wu Qianqian, and Qin Liuding couldn't help laughing.
"Boss, what's the money?" George asked awkwardly.
"Haha, since he wants to ask others for help, he will naturally have to pay a price. You can just keep the money, which can be regarded as this month's bonus." Ian smiled.
Looking at Ian's back, George smiled bitterly and shook his head. Is this a bonus? It is already their salary for a year. Does this boss really not know the importance of money?
George was wrong. Of course Ian knew the importance of money, but he saw it more clearly. Money is waste paper in the hands and is valuable only when spent. So Ian made an appointment with Zhang Shijie to a Sichuan restaurant in Chinatown at noon.
Have a meal.
This time they went directly to the second floor, where it was quieter, and Zhang Shijie seemed very happy after seeing Qin Liuding and Wu Qianqian. In his opinion, the more people from the Dragon Kingdom around Ian, the more beneficial it would be to him.
It was still Bai Xiuxiu and her companions who came to serve Ian and the others. Now that they saw Ian, they all felt very friendly, so they served with more attentiveness.
"It's still country K. This time I want to buy some heavy weapons." Ian said.
"Heavy weapons?" Zhang Shijie paused and asked, "There's not much action over there right now. The firearms and grenades that were shipped there last time should be enough to overturn those guys."
Ian was stunned for a moment. Zhang Shijie seemed to know something about the situation in Country K, so he asked: "How much do you know about those people?"
"It's not that many. That group of people claimed to be part of the Kadima Party. They recruited many young people from the bottom of society and formed an armed force called the Knight Army. The slogan was to smash the conspiracy of Europe and the United States to block the advancement of country k. Recently,
It's quite active. The weapons you sent to them last time will probably give the K government a headache for a long time." Zhang Shijie said.
"If they really get into trouble, do you think there will be foreign forces involved?" Ian asked the question he was most concerned about.
"It's hard to say. Country K is notoriously poor and has almost no resources, so few people will interfere there. What do you want to do? You don't plan to go there to become the president, haha...
"Zhang Shijie smiled and suddenly stopped laughing, because he couldn't see a trace of joking on Ian's face.
Ian said: "Of course I will not go there to be president, but there is a high possibility that great changes will occur there. You can report the news in advance."
Seeing that Zhang Shijie was still digesting it, Ian smiled again and said, "But this time, I'm here to buy weapons from you."
"Oh, oh, buy weapons. By the way, what weapons do you want? Or should they be shipped to country K?" Zhang Shijie asked.
Ian thought for a moment and said: "I really don't know much about military affairs. It's probably heavy weapons like tanks. In addition, a large amount of food is needed."
"I'll give you an estimate of how much money you plan to charge."
"One billion dollars." Ian just couldn't stop talking, and Zhang Shijie was shocked as soon as he opened his mouth.
Zhang Shijie looked around, lowered his voice and exclaimed: "K country only has tens of thousands of troops. Are you really planning to overthrow the current government?"
"Maybe." Ian's words were ambiguous.
Zhang Shijie took out his mobile phone and opened a map, studying it carefully. After a while, he said to Ian: "Don't say I didn't tell you, if it is a heavy weapon, it will not pass the port inspection."
, if you really want to buy it, you'd better let those guys conquer Mombasa first, as only the ports there can handle loading and unloading of such large cargo ships, or you can use small ports, unless they are willing to receive the equipment in dozens of times."
Ian also looked at the map. Mombasa is indeed a medium-sized place, and it is an isolated island. Once they attack there, the government forces will definitely besiege it from three sides.
"Wait a moment." Ian took out the phone and sent the message to Country K through Mira.
Ian's request caused several young leaders of the K-State Progress Party to curse: "Does this guy want us to be wiped out in one fell swoop? Once we enter Mombasa, it will be equivalent to entering a prison."
Everyone expressed their intention to cut off contact with the other party. Anyway, they have already obtained the US$100 million in arms. Although it is not enough for them to overthrow the government, they already have the capital to dialogue with the current government.
At this time, Beskar, the largest leader of the Kadima Party, spoke: "I don't think so!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone suddenly fell silent, only to hear Beskar say: "Although Mombasa is an isolated island, if what that man said is true, Mombasa has become a war fortress that is easy to defend but difficult to attack."
"But what if what he said is false?" Najib said. As the head of money management of the Kadima Party, his words are often taken seriously by everyone.
Bethka said slowly: "We don't have a close relationship with that person. Even before Tarrou killed people for him, we had no contact at all. As long as he doesn't support us, our career may have to go through decades of hard work."
In order to succeed, why did he use 100 million US dollars as bait to destroy us? Moreover, for the diamonds we asked him to sell before, he gave us every penny of the money without even taking a commission. What's more,
What can it mean?"
No one knew how to argue. Beskar continued: "He does have a purpose. He also told us that it is to kill people. He may be a pervert in various ways, but no matter what, as long as he continues to support us, it doesn't matter if he is a pervert."
This way, it is much better than the Americans. According to what he said this time, the one-time transportation of heavy weapons and food worth one billion US dollars must be transported by huge cargo ships. It is indeed difficult for other ports to carry it, so I think we
You can bet once."
After a moment of silence, another person sighed in a low voice: "Can we afford the gamble?"
"I just want to ask one question now." Bethka stared at everyone closely and said in a deep voice: "Are you going to continue waiting for the unknown, or are you going to seize this rare opportunity?"
Ian and the others waited for nearly half an hour before news came from country k that they would launch a sneak attack on Mombasa in the near future. However, they also hoped that Ian could transport support as soon as possible because they did not know
Can they withstand the government's counterattack?
"How many heavy weapons can a billion dollars buy?" Ian asked.
Zhang Shijie took out his mobile phone and muttered some calculations, and then said to Ian: "If you want to buy the most advanced one, I'm afraid you can only buy a few hundred heavy-duty tanks and weapons, plus a lot of food."
, I’m afraid it’s not realistic to use this to confront the government forces of country K.”
Ian heard Zhang Shijie's tone as if he had a better way, so he asked, "Just tell me your suggestion."
Zhang Shijie smiled awkwardly and said: "We have a large number of weapons in our arsenal that are not the most advanced, but are enough to fight against the government forces of country K. You can even buy weapons and get free ammunition, and the price is also more favorable.
, I think it’s definitely more cost-effective than buying the most advanced weapons.”
"But there is another question. Are you sure their people will use these heavy tanks and weapons? For example, armed helicopters?" Zhang Shijie asked.
Ian frowned, he wasn't sure, so he immediately asked Mira to contact the other side, and quickly got the answer. They had people who could operate tanks and chariots, but they really didn't have people who could maneuver armed helicopters.
After all, they have never been in contact with each other.
At this time, Zhang Shijie rolled his eyes and already had a solution in his mind. He said, "I have a solution."
Under Ian's gaze, Zhang Shijie said: "You can register a security company in country k. Anyway, once the war starts, no one will care whether the company is real or fake, so we can find a way to arrange some military personnel
Stay as a mercenary."
Ian was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "It's a good idea. You're right. As long as the salary is higher, there will naturally be people willing to go to war, haha."
Chapter completed!
