Chapter 1061: The Great Scam II
As the anti-war voice grew, the Australian government, which was frustrated, had to sign a series of agreements with the Atlantis International Group.
Among other things, Atlantis Mineral Resources will have exploration and extraction rights for all minerals in Australia, including uranium, and the government will be exempt from business income tax.
The Port of Melbourne was leased to the Federal Government of the Golden Triangle for 100 years at a price of $2 billion and the Port of Darwin was leased to the Federal Government of the Golden Triangle for a hundred years, and became a dual-use port, mainly for commercial purposes, and by the way, it was used for the logistical supply of the Mercenary Navy.
In and around the port, the Australian government allows mercenaries to arrange a battalion of gendarmes to maintain security and order in the port.
After the agreement was signed, the defense minister of the federal government in Afghanistan's Golden Triangle acted quickly and immediately began to negotiate a solution with the so-called "Taliban army", and then in a military club of the mercenary corps in the new city of Kabul, representatives of the Australian military and government participated in the tripartite talks initiated by the mercenaries, and after a week of bargaining, the final solution was released.
The Australian government quickly approved the terms of the agreement with unprecedented efficiency, and the Treasury secretly paid the ransom to the Taliban army's account. The specific amount is $1 million per soldier, $2 million per officer, and $10 million per general, and the more than $400 million will be cashed out through the Atlantis International Commercial Bank and then transferred to the secret account of the Taliban government.
More than $400 million is really not much, and the Australian government is even ready to be slaughtered, and negotiators report that mercenaries have played a big role in it, and the poor and crazy Taliban government is ready to open the mouth of the lion.
Most importantly, the Australian government promised the Taliban government-in-exile that it would not send more troops to Afghanistan and would make it public to the world, putting an end to this humiliating affair.
"The Afghan troops who attacked our Australian army were not indigenous to the local area, or should it be more accurate that their commanders were Europeans and Jews, because the Afghans could not speak such pure French, German and Hebrew that I happened to be able to tell."
"During the time I was detained, every time I met with Afghans, I only got a response to any request for instructions, and those commanders have been hiding from me, and their whereabouts are very secretive, and it was only by chance that I heard some conversations."
"What is certain is that these commanders are typical professional soldiers, and they have held the position of officer, at least at the company and battalion level, and the Taliban army of this attack, which is also a fighter with modern military qualities, capable of operating Leopard 1 main battle tanks and M113 armored transporters, has proven this." Said the captured major general.
"Your Excellency, can you describe the physiognomy of these people, if you can know their physiognomy, the CIA can easily find the true face of the mysterious forces behind the scenes." A senior CIA agent asked.
The CIA has built up the world's largest database by various means, and it is not very difficult to find out the retired military officers of a European country. Modern high-tech, with the help of sketches, you can find the matching object in a matter of seconds.
"Unfortunately, these people are very careful, and even when they appear in my sight, they are generally far away, and they wear sunglasses, and it is obvious that they are deliberately concealing their true identity, and I can deduce from the small amount of conversation they have the characteristics of a mercenary profession." said the major general.
After receiving the news of the release of these Australian officers and soldiers, the CIA quickly rushed to the handover site and invited everyone to the temporary air base of the US military.
"Gentlemen, the CIA's Afghanistan task force has submitted to us an analysis of the occult forces, but the object of suspicion at the moment is not the European countries and Israel that we considered earlier, but our strategic ally mercenary corps."
"Intelligence experts believe that only mercenaries have the strength and conditions to support the Taliban government in Afghanistan to launch multiple attacks on the US military, please listen carefully to this top-secret analysis report." said the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
"First, the mercenaries have been operating in Afghanistan for many years, have good relations with the Taliban government, and have every time to train an army. Secondly, the mercenary regiments have a large stockpile of weapons and ammunition from the former Soviet Union, the amount of which is very terrifying, and the Taliban army also uses former Soviet weapons. ”
"Third, the mercenaries have this motive, they are worried that after the establishment of a new government in Afghanistan, their own interests will be lost, and the current mineral resources of this country are exclusively exploited by the enterprises under the name of the mercenaries."
"Fourth, the members of the mercenary corps come from all over the world, including retired soldiers from European countries and Israel.
"Fifth, the Taliban army has repeatedly attacked our military camp, snatching a number of armed helicopters and transport helicopters, as well as assault helicopters, and some time ago, they attacked the camp of the Canadian army and snatched a batch of Immortal Bird-1 armed helicopters and Tyrannosaurus Rex-1 main battle tanks.
"To sum up, intelligence experts believe that the mercenaries are very suspicious and should be listed as the biggest suspects, and it is recommended that a full investigation of the mercenaries be launched and all the sleeper agents should be activated." The CIA director said.
"Excuse me, do your CIA intelligence experts have evidence to support these inferences, even if it is corroborated." The Minister of Defense said with a frown.
Mr. Secretary thought that the CIA experts were crazy, and that the mercenaries were the staunchest strategic allies of the US government, as well as hidden thugs, and that sneak attacks on Japanese warships and on the convoys of raw material carriers in European countries were all enough to provoke a war.
The two sides are communities of interests, and after more than half a year of war, tens of thousands of Taliban troops have been killed and wounded, and not a single member of the mercenary corps has been found in it, how can you suspect the mercenary corps?
Of course, anything is possible, and the mercenary corps is a mercenary organization that does not play cards according to common sense, but the premise is that you must get enough evidence, otherwise once it causes misunderstanding, it will be a big trouble!
Experts from the Ministry of Defense have repeatedly speculated that it is almost impossible to destroy mercenaries without the use of nuclear bombs, and the United States will suffer huge losses.
