I originally thought that the expression on Metshaw's face would be absolutely surprising. Unexpectedly, after Artyom finished speaking, he found that the expression on Metshaw's face was still the same as before, and his expression also seemed to be a poker face.
"I know."
"You know?" Artem smiled.
Metshaw nodded: "Yes, I know now that Dombe actually started to hate me after my father passed away. However, it was only because of Oliveira's existence that he had to accept me temporarily.
I, even my last defeat in the Niyar River battle, I admit that my carelessness was the main reason, but the lack of follow-up support was also a reason, so Dobombe tried every means to drive me out of Niyar, hey,
I don’t know how Oliveira is doing now, but judging from the current situation, his life won’t be much better.”
Artyom met with Metshaw this time mainly because he wanted to sow discord between Metshaw and Dopombe. As for Pugachev, since he was one of his own, he would easily be provoked by Metshaw.
I could see his intention; as for Oliveira, since he was also involved, this guy might be useful, so Artyom didn't intend to say it.
"Oliveira is a bloody warrior. Even if Doponbe makes things difficult for him, I believe he will get through it. At least for now, he is a trustworthy person."
Metshaw said: "I know, so I'm a little confused now."
"There is nothing to be confused about. As long as you persist in your career, you will eventually succeed. Besides, you still have a lot of network resources in France. These can all be used. To be honest, between you and Doponbe
I am quite optimistic about you."
Metshaw was deceived by Oliveira and the late Jim'an, which was not at the same level as his academic qualifications and intelligence. However, he still kept a clear head when dealing with Artyom's overtures.
To him, Artyom is just a speculator. The reason why he is optimistic about himself is actually because he is optimistic about the connections and resources behind him.
Currently, Metshaw's biggest advantage over Doponbe is his rich network of contacts in France. Other than that, he has nothing.
This time while studying at the Barrie Military Academy, Metshaw met his seniors and classmates, and many seniors and classmates also expressed their willingness to contribute to his ideals.
Some enthusiastic guys even expressed their willingness to provide financial support.
Of course, Metshaw also knew the conditions behind these financial aids.
He is a person who has been brainwashed by romantic French liberalism, and he has refused all these financial aids.
So so far, his power is still very weak, so weak that he doesn't even have the confidence to lead people to fight guerrillas.
"I can provide funds and materials." Seeing Metshaw's silence, Artyom also spoke.
"Sorry, I can't use it now." Metshaw said with a faint smile.
"No, you need it, man. I think we can become comrades-in-arms. Everything about us is equal. We will not harm your Niyal's interests in exchange. I mean it."
"But your efforts will not be proportional to your gains."
"Yes, that's the case for now, but once you succeed, I guarantee that I will gain a lot and at least have a boss-level friend."
"Then what? Is this all your reward?"
"Then we can change the destiny of poverty in your country through trade."
Finally, in Metshaw's view, Artyom revealed his true purpose.
"The key is is this trade fair?" Metshaw was quite skeptical.
Artyom did not hide it, "Of course it is unfair. To be honest, man, for a backward country, sometimes it has to sacrifice some of its own country's interests in exchange for development. Take US dollar settlement as an example.
Isn’t it just that Americans are nakedly cutting the wool of every country? There is no absolute fairness, only appropriateness and inappropriateness.”
Metshaw did not expect that Artyom also expressed his views bluntly. After hearing this, his heart could not calm down for a long time.
Seeing this guy's contemplative look, Artyom couldn't help but smile. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a long drag.
After he finished sucking, he found that Metshaw was still thinking.
What a nerd.
Artyom actually didn't understand what Metshaw was thinking. He walked up to him and patted his shoulder gently: "Man, you should see the world more, rather than stay in the ivory tower."
in."
Metshaw nodded subconsciously.
"Thank you, Mr. Artem. I will consider what you said today. No matter what, thank you for providing me with some information in time."
"I treat you as a friend, Mr. Metshaw. This world is very realistic. You have all your abilities and ideals. However, without the support of money, it is still nothing. Only money is the best proof of ability in this world.
"
…
After meeting Metshaw for more than an hour, Artyom left the military academy. He had completed his mission. Next, he was going to Paris Fashion Week to cheer for a supermodel he liked.
By the way, let's see if there can be further development between the two.
After Artyom left, Metshaw stayed alone in the stadium and thought a lot. After carefully savoring Artyom's words just now, he thought it actually made sense. Those big guys provided him with
The financial support is nothing more than taking a fancy to Nyal's rich natural resources.
He tried his best to make Nyar an independent country, but this may be just his personal idea, including those of his seniors and classmates, who also revealed some words of interest in their words.
In this world, people are really very realistic.
Metshaw said secretly, "It seems that I really have to put aside my ideals for the time being. It's better to be more pragmatic."
He shared his idea with Short, who immediately agreed.
In fact, Short did not agree with Metshaw's views on independence and freedom, but it was not easy for him to oppose it openly. He was a opportunist at heart, and he just wanted to grab huge economic benefits for himself, which would last his whole life.
There is nothing more to worry about than food and clothing. Now that Metshaw has decided to take a pragmatic route, he naturally supports it with both hands.
He even said he would actively participate.
Metshaw agreed without hesitation.
Both of them showed knowing smiles, but Short saw through Metshaw's inner thoughts, while Metshaw knew nothing about it.
