Chapter 619: Life and Death
"Mr., it's a great honor to meet you. But I beg your pardon that we can't meet directly right now. was ushered through a small door and then blindfolded as requested.
After that, he was dragged into a car, and I don't know how long it took to drive out. The second turn seemed to get on a speedboat and drove down the river for a while. He was taken off the ship again. When his blindfold was removed, what he saw were three chairs in the shadows.
The person sitting in the chair could not see the age and face clearly. Even their voices are transcribed through a voice changer.
"We want you to know that today's events must not be reported out of this room."
But I heard one of them whisper: "Even if you don't pass our assessment, we will still provide you with the original service." Provided, you need to follow the rules. Do you know that?! ”
"Yes, I understand that." took a deep breath and nodded, "I won't reveal any of my experiences here to anyone. I know the importance of keeping secrets. ”
But I saw the voice of the figure on the right without any emotion: "Very good!" So, let's get started! ”
At the same time, Hou Dasheng, who was far away in Paris, held a new meeting with the chief and Grandval. There were only three of them in this meeting.
"The Americans are going to withdraw from South Sudan?! Is this news reliable?! Hou Dasheng frowned and asked the manager. The latter smiled and nodded: "There is no doubt about this news, in fact, there have been signs of this before." ”
However, the general manager said softly: "Initially, the United States promoted this matter in order to obtain a strategic fulcrum in eastern Africa. Of course, this also has to do with the energy group's desire to gain access to South Sudan's oil resources......"
"In order to promote this, they did not hesitate to instigate sanctions against Sudan. At the same time, we will step up support for South Sudan. But the manager paused and said, "I think, during that time, you jackals and your peripheral team also worked in South Sudan!" ”
Hou Dasheng smiled, neither admitting nor denying it. Those tasks are posted, even if the identity is hidden. But a fool can also see that that is the task of the company. Behind the back, of course, is the United States.
"Originally, they promised that if South Sudan became the status quo, they would lift the sanctions." The chief shrugged his shoulders as he spoke: "Of course, Americans have no credibility. What they say is no different from farting. ”
Hou Dasheng smiled and did not comment. This is not actually unique to the United States, it should be said that the entire Western regime is accustomed to it. In the days of Tsarist Russia, Russia was very discredited with national credibility.
Otherwise, do you think that vast land is really sent by phone bills?! Europe too, the eldest brother doesn't laugh at the second brother. Everyone is a virtue.
Chivalry, contract spirit or something, whoever believes is a fool. There are too many things that have happened about the shameless tearing up of the agreement by the big countries. Strong enough strength and deterrence are the foundation for the two sides to sit down and negotiate.
It is also the foundation for the two sides to maintain peace. There is not enough strength and deterrence, and no one will tell you anything about knights and contracts. That's all.
There aren't too many cases where companies support agents and then kill them. Those "warriors" and "old friends" who have appeared in American magazines basically end up dying unexpectedly or even their entire families.
"The situation now is that the United States has to enter a period of strategic contraction." The manager whispered: "They have spent too much money on the war, and they are already a little unable to make ends meet." There are also different voices that need to be controlled......"
However, the governor paused and continued: "With the development of the international political and economic situation, the strategic position of South Sudan and the importance of oil resources have declined, and the United States no longer regards South Sudan as a pawn in its global hegemony strategy. Without a chess piece, it is naturally left to fend for itself. ”
"Of course, I don't deny that there is a relationship that we promote." With a smile on his face, the steward said, "But after all, they made their own assessment that there was no need to continue wasting time there." The Middle East is their main point. ”
After a pause, the steward continued, "Next...... We will push for sanctions against South Sudan. ”
What will happen if the sanctions happen?! That's obvious, they won't be able to sell resources. There are also no supplies. At this time, it is very appropriate to invest in them again.
Whether it's chasing the rise and killing the fall, or buying the bottom and touching the top. Where is the joy of creating ups and downs?!
Listening to the manager talking about the ups and downs of a country's fate, Hou Dasheng couldn't help but have a little strange feeling. This may be the thrill of power. That sense of manipulation. Looking down on the world from the clouds.
Hou Dasheng now understands why some people are intoxicated, and even can't extricate themselves. The reason is simple, it's just a wonderful feeling. It really seems to lift you up from the crowd and see the world from an almost godly perspective.
That superhuman feeling, that sense of manipulation. It's really easy to get intoxicated, and maybe even some people actually think of themselves as gods.
It's just that Hou Dasheng knows very well that none of them are gods. They are using power, the power of many, many people. Those people are attached to them and are willing to run for them. But this does not mean that Hou Dasheng and the manager will be able to accomplish everything.
Attach, give, get. Taking the risk of collapse, Hou Dasheng is no longer the rookie he once was.
"People from South Sudan, a few more." After listening to the manager's narration in silence, Granwal whispered, "I believe there must be other people who are also suitable for investment." Competition will make progress. We just need the strong. ”
Hou Dasheng smiled and nodded: "Although we have a lot of capital in our hands, we don't have much. It is not possible to divide it evenly among them. The goal can be two, or three. At the pace between them, we can give a modest amount of support. ”
"If they can't even complete the foundation, why should we waste our resources on them?!" Shrugging his shoulders, Hou Dasheng looked at the main pipeline: "If you only support one, it is not appropriate to give him all the resources." Shadows, you still have to keep a few. ”
The steward nodded, "I agree with this plan. After all, if we only invest in one person, if he fails, all our investments will be wasted. Unless he can prove that he's close to success, we'll put more resources into him. ”
Strangely enough, the manager likes to be in a quiet and bright place when talking about these issues. Although the issues they discussed, in fact very dark. Their decision could result in the loss of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of lives.
This decision is not kind at all. If it was in the past, Hou Dasheng felt that he couldn't do this.
But now it is clear to him that there is not much difference between what he does and what he doesn't. South Sudan will be in chaos, whether he meddles or not. This is based on the foundations that South Sudan has built, the fact that it was decided.
More than 100 tribes, the proliferation of guns due to years of war. Each tribe has its own armament, and the small tribes depend on the larger tribes. The largest clan became president, while the vice-presidential opposition came from the second largest clan.
The resource disparity between the north and the south of the country is too large, and at the same time the north and the south belong to the two major tribes and those smaller tribes that depend on them. In such a situation, it is strange if there is no fight. Who wants to hand over the benefits to others?! No one wants to do that.
Even if their patriarch will, the rest of the tribe will not. This will lead to a reduction in their own income, and the other party will be armed. Then the next step must be to weaken yourself and swallow it directly.
"A few tribes, let's get to know them first." Hou Dasheng lowered his head and thought for a while: "We must first confirm that they are not stepping on two boats. I don't think anyone else has contact with them except us. ”
Hearing this, the manager nodded: "There are indeed people who have contact with them, but it seems that the contact between the two sides is not good......
The next word, the governor did not say. It's very good that he's able to say that. After all, part of it was the customers who bought his intelligence. Although it is said that the service provider is just a broker.
But even if you are a broker, you must stick to the principle of a broker. If you don't follow the rules, you will be erased by the rules. Service providers have been able to exist for so many years, and abiding by the rules is the basis of their existence.
Granwal and Hou Dasheng know this, so they won't get to the bottom of it.
"At the moment, in addition to Cohen, we will also be looking at a few other people." But I saw that the manager quickly changed the topic: "One of the conditions is more suitable than Zhi Keang." But the more troublesome thing is...... This person may not be easy to control. ”
When Hou Dasheng heard this, he shrugged his shoulders: "In this regard, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. There are many ways to make people obedient. One of the most direct is to tell him that we have the ability to make him go from disobedience to obedience. ”
This is the suburbs, and this manor belongs to Hou Dasheng. Or rather, it belongs to the jackals. The hillside is surrounded by climbing vines, obscuring the view from all sides. Under the two intersecting towering trees, tables and chairs are placed.
Hou Dasheng picked up the spring water boiled by the charcoal stove on the table and made tea for the chief manager and Grandwal. They've been together a lot lately, and the two have fallen in love with the taste of this tea from China called "Shengpu".
Especially in their personal medical team, it has been proven that this tea is full of many trace elements that the body needs. After the benefits for the body, they began to get used to the taste of this tea.
They are also in the process of understanding and learning about tea utensils and tea art. Just like Hou Dasheng began to get acquainted with French steak, this is actually a process of mutual integration between the two sides. Both the manager and Granwal hope that the relationship can be maintained for a long time.
"The strength on Coang's side is still a little weaker. If he passes, I think we can help him a little bit early. But seeing Hou Dasheng pour tea, he smiled: "Hmm...... Military adviser, very good. I believe he and his clan will like it. ”
