There is no such thing as a free lunch, Karl knows it very well.
"President Karl is a smart man. Talking to smart people saves effort."
The strange male voice on the other end of the phone said: "GHOST and SHADOW died together, and the resources they controlled were also lost. This is a huge loss."
The strange man sighed, and then said: "But GHOST left a student behind, among those who are in K country this time. I want you to intercept them and don't let them leave K country!"
Hearing the strange man's request, Karl couldn't help but gasp. This request was too difficult to meet!
Country K is a small country with a total population of less than 50 million, because its rich oil and gas resources have driven the economy of Country K. Otherwise, Country K is just a small and barren land.
Oil and gas resources have brought K country economic development, but K country's own productivity is very low and relies on imports for many things. It cannot be compared with China, which is one of the "five gangsters" of the United Nations.
The powerful energy of the permanent members of the United Nations cannot be resisted by a small country like K that lacks productivity. As the president of K, Karl knows this very well, so he hesitated.
The strange man on the other end of the phone was very patient and did not rush me. After a while, Karl finally said: "Sir, your request is too difficult."
"Are you sure you want to reject my proposal?" the strange man said with certainty: "You will not be willing to give up your current position and the rights you currently hold, but without my help, you will definitely be impeached.
, you definitely cannot continue to be your president! Are you willing to watch your opponent rise to power and then trample you under his feet?"
Karl mumbled and did not answer. He was very entangled and hesitant. If he really intercepted Zhao Tianyu and others in K country and prevented them from leaving, K country would inevitably bear the anger from a superpower. This anger may not necessarily
It will be a direct military war, or more cooperation in the economic field, and the impact this will have on the economic development of K country is no less than a war!
So Karl didn't dare to agree, he needed a promise, a promise from the other party!
"What can you guarantee me?" Karl said slowly: "Aside from my current position as president, what else can you guarantee me? In doing so, I will bear a great risk. If it really attracts China's
The anger has caused an impact on the economic field of K country. The impeachment case against me will still be put on the Congress table, and I will still be impeached. By that time, my fate will be worse than being impeached now. By that time
At that time, even wanting an ordinary life was a luxury!"
"I represent Lockheed."
On the phone, the strange man slowly revealed his identity and said: "In the future, we will have better development in the economic and military fields. We will establish a Lockheed branch in K country and build a production line so that K country's armaments will not be
No longer just rely on imports. Only when we control our own productivity can we be truly powerful, isn't it?"
Lockheed!
Karl took a breath. He knew very well what this company represented. One of the five major arms giants in the United States, and now a representative of Lockheed called him to seek cooperation. So does this also represent the United States behind Lockheed?
The government’s opinion? If that’s the case, then Karl needs to weigh it carefully. If he refuses, it’s because K will offend a behemoth like the United States, a rogue who can bypass the United Nations Security Council and directly start war with other countries. How can K country offend? And
How to get offended?
"Is this what the 'boss' behind you means?" Karl asked. This is something he urgently needs to figure out, and it is also something that will affect his decision.
"I didn't say that." The strange man replied: "But you can understand it this way. After all, the situation is delicate now, and even the 'boss' has his concerns."
Although the strange man did not say this clearly, the words revealed a message to Karl. The strange man was just passing on messages to others, and the people behind him were unwilling to show up. It was up to Karl to decide how he should choose.
After a long time, Karl finally made a choice. He agreed to the strange man's request on the phone. At the same time, the strange man also gave Karl a corresponding promise, and the first cooperation contract was sent to Karl's private email.
Although the two parties did not have much conversation, the call lasted for a full fifteen minutes. After the call, Karl felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained, even the phone receiver in his hand.
They weighed thousands of kilograms, making him almost unable to hold them safely.
Karl put down the phone, rubbed his face with his hands, and did it quietly for a while. Then he picked up the phone again, dialed a number, and asked, "When will General Zhao and the others leave?"
"The flight is at noon tomorrow."
"Stop them and don't let them leave yet!" Karl said in a cold tone, unleashing the president's power without reservation!
"But if this is the case, will it..."
"Do as I say!"
Karl interrupted him before the other end of the phone finished speaking, and then hung up the phone directly.
After making the call, Karl leaned back on his chair and sighed heavily. He seemed to see a sharp sword hanging above his head. As long as the sword fell, it could easily split him in half.
And the chair made of rhinoceros leather under his butt was no longer as comfortable as it used to be, giving him the urge to stand up and escape immediately. He felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, which was perhaps the best way to describe Karl right now.
"I hope my choice is not wrong."
Karl looked at the ceiling and murmured softly. This was a risky move. As the saying goes, one step to heaven and one step to hell. Carl couldn't decide what would happen. He could only look at the "boss" behind him!
…
The next morning, Zhao Tianyu came to the hospital again.
Yunxi was on IV drip all night. The high fever was gone, but she still hadn't woken up, and she would talk in her sleep from time to time. She had not yet broken free from that dream. She hoped that after returning, Yunyue and the two little ones at home would be together.
, can make her get better as soon as possible.
Zhao Tianyu contacted the hospital and asked for an ambulance to help take Yunxi to the airport; but before the ambulance left the parking lot, several black cars suddenly broke into the parking lot and stopped the ambulance that was about to leave the parking lot.
Come down.
A man in a black suit and sunglasses got out of the black car headed by him, walked up to Zhao Tianyu, showed him the investigation order, and said: "General Zhao, it's a pity that you can't leave now. There are some things that need to be done.
