Chapter 78 Friends
After making some simple arrangements, Zhao Ziyang spoke on the phone with Swart who was far away in Gambia to learn about the situation there.
Everything went smoothly and steadily as planned. The military base was being built in a hurry. While training the Gambian Marines and Yahya's personal guards, Gun Ghost established a good relationship with Karen and successfully became good friends with Mekale.
Today, Gunner has become a popular figure in front of Yahya. On the one hand, he is also black, and on the other hand, he serves Karen very well, sending various jewels to her every now and then, so that Karen often whispers in Yahya's ear.
A woman's whisper is very powerful and can be more effective than a man's words.
Mekale was not so lucky. Although he held on to his position after losing 500 elite marines, he was not very popular with Yahya. The mistakes in the war caused a large number of casualties, and Yahya was very kind to let him stay in this position.
Mekale, unwilling to give up, naturally wanted to show himself in front of Yahya, so he deliberately got close to the Gun Ghost, hoping that the Gun Ghost would help him train a stronger army and say a few words for him so as to revive his troops.
During this period, there was a problem of filling the manpower gap. At the suggestion of Gun Ghost, Yahya decided to follow the example of France and Spain and form a foreign legion belonging to Gambia to expand the combat effectiveness of his own troops. All specific matters were handed over to the Deputy Minister of Defense and Gun Ghost to complete.
In addition to these, there is another point, that is, the gun ghost always inadvertently creates opportunities for Karen and Mekaler to meet alone, and praises Mekaler in front of Karen as a man and as strong as he is...
In short, everything is going as planned, and things in Gambia are moving step by step towards Zhao Ziyang's expected goal.
What we need to do now is how to further develop and expand the Lurker Mercenary Group. One is the number of lurkers, and the other is that the lurkers must have a large number of employment orders.
Personnel is easy to deal with. As long as you hire them, there will always be many mercenaries coming to make money, but task lists are difficult to get.
The mission areas that the lurkers accepted in the past were very small, and there were few employers. They only targeted third world countries and were fighting for their beliefs, but this belief was useless in Zhao Ziyang's eyes.
They are mercenaries, and mercenaries' belief should be money. As for saving world peace, let those politicians do it amidst the quarrels. What they want is to make money, make money, make money, and only with money can they have everything.
However, the African mercenary market has long been saturated, with local EO mercenary groups occupying at least 60 percent of the market share, and the remaining 40 percent of the market share divided among mercenary groups from all over the world, leaving very few spaces for lurkers. This is very difficult to deal with.
However, there is a solution. Now Zhao Ziyang is going to find Gaddafi to solve this biggest problem.
Gaddafi doesn't seem to be in a very good mood today, probably because he is worried about how to deal with the issue of the opposition armed forces.
I heard that the oil and gas fields jointly developed by Libya and China have been blocked, so this huge investment project has not started. The reason is that the oil and gas fields with very rich reserves found in the southeastern Rabyana Desert are located in the sphere of influence of the anti-government armed forces. The anti-government armed forces have received support from the US government and want to jointly develop with the US.
The Libyan government was very troubled by this issue. Under pressure from Western countries led by the United States, the oil and gas field issue was temporarily shelved. But suddenly, the news came that the anti-government forces wanted to sell the 50-year exploitation rights of the oil and gas fields to the United States.
This made Gaddafi furious, and he held a meeting until noon without coming up with a proper solution. When he saw Zhao Ziyang coming to him, his eyes lit up and he enthusiastically welcomed Zhao Ziyang in.
"Mr. Special Forces, it's nice to see you." The Gaddafi man smiled, stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Zhao Ziyang, motioning Zhao Ziyang to sit down.
Gaddafi was not alone today. There were two female bodyguards standing behind him. The one who served coffee to Zhao Ziyang was also his female bodyguard. These female bodyguards were armed and wearing bulletproof vests, ready to block bullets for Gaddafi at any time.
"Mr. President, you don't look very good today." Zhao Ziyang greeted Gaddafi and directly pointed out what Gaddafi was unhappy about.
Hearing this, Gaddafi waved to the female bodyguards, signaling them to go out first.
"Yes, I don't look very good today, and my temper is not very good either." Gaddafi said to Zhao Ziyang bluntly after watching the last female bodyguard walk out: "I need you to help me carry out a mission to wipe out a group of rebels."
It was normal for the lurkers to wipe out the rebels. It was a normal task and not too difficult, so Zhao Ziyang nodded and agreed readily.
"Mr. President, that's no problem." Zhao Ziyang took a sip of coffee and said to Gaddafi with a smile, "Mr. President, I'm not here to wipe out the rebels today, but to tell you a good news."
"Speak!" Gaddafi waved his hand and asked Zhao Ziyang to speak directly.
"Okay." Zhao Ziyang put down the cup and said to Gaddafi happily, "We have found the nuclear warhead."
"Where?!" Gaddafi's voice suddenly rose, his face full of excitement and surprise.
Nuclear warheads, they need nuclear warheads so badly. Having nuclear warheads means they have a firm foothold and no longer have to look at the face of the United States.
"Don't get excited yet, haha..." Zhao Ziyang smiled, thought for a moment and said to Gaddafi: "It will take some time to get the nuclear warhead to Libya. We have only found the location of the nuclear warhead for now, and we still need a series of actions to grab the nuclear warhead. You should know what a nuclear warhead means. It is not so easy to get it out."
With a "bang", Gaddafi slammed the table heavily and sat up from the sofa with a tough look on his face.
"You can ask for any conditions you want, I just want a nuclear warhead!"
A nuclear warhead is too important to Gaddafi, but he still doesn't have one, even though he is very rich. The reason is that no one dares to sell him a nuclear warhead. Gaddafi's life is at stake, and everyone knows that he is a madman. Once he has a nuclear warhead, he will definitely stand up straight and dare to fight the United States and challenge Western countries.
It is not cost-effective to sell a nuclear warhead to Gaddafi. There is no guarantee for the subsequent problems. It is better to sell the nuclear warhead to some terrorist organizations. Terrorist organizations only deal with one country, but Gaddafi dares to deal with the whole world!
"I want government mercenary missions throughout Africa!" Zhao Ziyang also stood up and watched Gaddafi say what he wanted.
When Gaddafi heard this request, he was stunned. He did not expect that Zhao Ziyang made this request.
"To put it simply, it is to monopolize the government-related employment tasks in African countries. I think you can help me with this." Zhao Ziyang had a confident smile on his face. He knew that Gaddafi had a way.
Although Western countries have imposed sanctions on Gaddafi since he came to power, he has oil in his hands. In this world, oil is more precious than gold. With the help of Libya's oil, Gaddafi made the whole of Libya rich and became one of the richest countries in Africa.
After becoming rich, Gaddafi worked hard to build closer relations with African countries, provided free assistance to many poor African countries, gained the friendship of many countries, and became personal friends with the heads of state of many countries.
Gaddafi is rich, generous and magnanimous, so he is very successful in Africa. Apart from other things, every country has to give him some face. The more this is the case, the more Gaddafi is committed to this kind of activities. In the end, he established friendly relations with Western countries such as Britain and France and was regarded as a good friend.
As long as Gaddafi is willing to say something, this is absolutely not a problem. Governments of various countries hire anyone, and they all get the same salary. In comparison, they are more willing to consider Gaddafi's face.
"In fact, you should know that we, the Lurkers, are the most powerful mercenary organization in the world. EO is nothing in front of us." Zhao Ziyang added this sentence and stood there waiting for Gaddafi's response.
There is certainly no problem with the strength of the lurker, and Gaddafi knows this. Under the temptation of nuclear warheads, he certainly cannot refuse Zhao Ziyang's request. What he is thinking about now is how to help the lurker.
"Mr. Special Forces, I can help you with this, but the nuclear warhead..."
"no problem!"
"Okay! Hahahaha..."
Gaddafi smiled happily. With the guarantee from the leader of the sleeper cells, he had nothing to worry about. The sleeper cells were credible and powerful and could be trusted.
"Someone, bring me a bottle of red wine. I want to have a drink with my friend the lurker." Gaddafi asked someone to get some wine. He made an exception and wanted to have a drink with Zhao Ziyang.
At this point, Gaddafi already considered Zhao Ziyang a friend. Whether it was because of the nuclear warhead or because of what Zhao Ziyang had been speculating about, in short, Gaddafi considered him a friend, which was better than anything else.
After a few glasses of red wine, Gaddafi and Zhao Ziyang have become close friends. They can pat each other on the shoulders. This is also Gaddafi's outstanding feature, and his manly demeanor is undoubtedly revealed.
"Special Forces, you still have to help me solve a problem. Help me wipe out the rebels. I am cooperating with the Chinese government to develop a large oil and gas field, but the oil and gas field has been occupied by the rebels, who have received help from the US government... Do you understand this?"
"The rebels will be strangled, and the oil and gas fields will return to their owners." Zhao Ziyang raised his glass to Gaddafi.
"I believe in the Lurker, but I believe in you even more, my friend!"
The two had an intimate conversation for nearly two hours and got to know each other.
Zhao Ziyang admired Gaddafi's tough and ruthless manliness, and Gaddafi was completely impressed by Zhao Ziyang: the Lurkers, led by the special forces, wanted to declare war on the veteran mercenary EO, and perhaps completely wiped EO out of the historical stage...
After returning to the base, Zhao Ziyang immediately arranged the manpower and capital flow of the undercover agents. He wanted to arrange all of this as quickly as possible and enter various African countries after the task of wiping out the rebels was completed.
They will enter the country as foreign investors, and they will set up security companies or cross foreign trade companies to spread their lurkers in every corner of Africa. While occupying market share, they will also strike at EO and declare war on this old mercenary organization.
The skeletons scattered across the African savannah tell us a truth: in a world where the strong prey on the weak, there is no fairness in competition. You either survive by stepping on others, or become a stepping stone for others to survive.
Only one of the Lurkers and EOs can be in Africa, and the loser will be expelled forever.
