Chapter 1477 It’s All Fake, Nothing Substantial
Chapter 1479 It's all empty, nothing substantial
Du Fei smiled and went to meet him and said, "My dear Tracy, you are still so beautiful."
Tracy smiled and hugged Du Fei, saying "thank you".
Then Du Fei looked at Edward, who was traveling with him, and the two hugged each other: "Edward, long time no see, congratulations on becoming the chief legal counsel of the Department of Energy."
Edward smiled, and he looked more elegant and calm in a suit.
Although Nico had resigned, his political resources were still there. Compared with the world before Du Fei crossed over, the children and nephews of the Nico family developed more smoothly.
Like Edward, although he also got the project of the Department of Energy a few years later, it was far better to become the chief legal counsel early now, laying a solid foundation for becoming a senator or running for governor in the future.
After the greetings, the three sat down.
Tracy got straight to the point: "Du, you should know the purpose of our visit this time."
Du Fei leaned back on the sofa and shrugged: "Of course, you don't have to thank me."
Tracy was stunned and exchanged a look with her husband, feeling a little puzzled.
Du Fei explained: "It was your father who pioneered the breaking of the inherent barriers and made Huaguo and America break the ice. This is the greatest political legacy of General Nico." At this point, Du Fei showed a meaningful expression: "So, America and Huaguo can never get around the Nico family, and you and Edward will appear here, isn't it?"
Tracy's mouth twitched, and she had to admit that Du Fei was right.
Du Fei continued: "If I'm not mistaken, after we meet, Mr. Nico is likely to visit the capital again."
Tracy and his wife were shocked.
Du Fei did guess right. Faced with Du Fei's sudden killing and special card, America reacted very quickly. Tracy and his wife were just the front station, contacting Du Fei and testing his attitude. Later, Nico is very likely to mediate as the former general.
With America's political ecology, this time Tracy and his wife came forward, and later asked former General Nico to move, all parties have to pay corresponding chips.
That's why Du Fei said no need to thank him, because Du Fei's actions in the Middle East this time have objectively greatly strengthened the influence of Nico, the former commander-in-chief, in Wanshengtun.
Tracy looked at her husband helplessly.
Edward smiled and said, "Du! We are the closest friends, so it's me and Tracy who came here. I have to say that you are really... too sudden this time, which makes it difficult for us. You know the relationship between Shat and America..."
Although it was not said explicitly, the meaning was very clear, Shat was forbidden and no one was allowed to get involved.
Du Fei certainly knew how powerful America's energy group was and how much interest was involved in Shat.
If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have targeted Shat. Without enough interests involved, how could America be willing to come to the table~
If they didn't come to the table, how could Du Fei's subsequent plans be guaranteed.
The current world rules are the continuation of the Yalta system after World War II, and are essentially the world rules maintained by America and Speed Union.
Under this system, the colonial empires established by Britain and France in the past will inevitably collapse.
As a future development potential, Huaguo must be chaotic and weak.
However, Huaguo is the only existence that breaks the rules of this system after the war.
Taking advantage of the short window from 1946 to 1949, it completed the transformation of the Guo family with a thunderous momentum, and then obtained the short-term support of the Speed Union with the help of ideology.
But this support must be short-lived and unsustainable, because the existence of Huaguo is essentially a bug in the existing system. America and Speed Union want to deal with this bug but can't.
Now America and Speed Union have tacitly accepted the status of Huaguo. Since they can't get rid of it, they can only turn "unreasonable" into "reasonable" and incorporate it into the system to continue to maintain the operation of the entire system.
Now is this stage, from the restoration of the United Fruit seat in 1971 to the present.
For the stability of the entire system, America and Speed Union will pay some benefits.
This time Du Fei dared to reach out to the killer, based on this situation, and it was also a limit test of America.
He wanted to see where America's bottom line was.
If America finally gave in to Shat, it means that the real situation of America is far from as good as it seems.
If America had a tough attitude, Du Fei would not insist on cooperating with Shat. Anyway, he didn't pay anything and just relied on his mouth to fool people.
Du Fei said: "Of course, Edward, I respect America's leadership and interests in the world very much."
Edward frowned slightly.
Du Fei often said this. If you don't know what this guy did, you would really mistakenly think that he has some special feelings for America.
But Edward knew that Du Fei was just saying it casually. The premise of recognizing America's leadership and interests is that he can't harm his own interests.
Edward said: "Du, we are friends. Tracy and I came to you as friends this time. You should know that your behavior in Shat has moved the cheese of many people this time, and some people are even clamoring..."
Du Fei smiled and continued: "Calling to destroy me humanely?"
Edward spread his hands as a default.
Du Fei said indifferently: "Those old bastards, when they divided up the war funds for Vietnam, they all said that I was their most loyal friend, because they would fall out over this matter? How many allocations does the budget committee give to Vietnam every year? You know better than me. I only have 50 million in my hands. How can we fight with this little money? The capital will definitely not bear this money. If I don’t think of a way, I won’t be able to continue the fight. "
Edward and Tracy didn't expect Du Fei to connect the two things.
The implication is that he is threatening to give up.
Once the war in Chenla ends, this war allocation will naturally disappear.
America only gives 50 million US dollars a year to let Du Fei fight with Yue Guo in Chenla. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is not enough at all.
Du Fei just hit him, and he continued to fight for several years.
The outcome of this war has long been unimportant in the eyes of some people in America. What matters is the annual funding from the Association.
Of the budget allocation of more than one billion US dollars, only 50 million ended up in Du Fei's hands. Where did the other money go?
This was also one of the reasons why Du Fei dared to reach out to Killer.
Within America, many people benefited from him, forming a chain of interests.
This does not include the business of transporting oil from Persia led by Du Fei, as well as the new oil company formed in partnership with the children of powerful people such as Tracy...
So it was Tracy and his wife who were found at this time, not ClA or Mosa.
Of course, Du Fei is not afraid even if ClA or Mosa comes.
…
Meanwhile, inside King Khalid's office.
Prince Saramu knocked on the door and went in: "Brother, they have entered the hotel where Du Fei lives."
Prince Salamu was solely responsible for Du Fei's reception and related work this time, and he reported directly to the king.
Khalid raised his eyebrows. He was a little groggy at first, but he suddenly became energetic.
After all, he is an old man in his seventies, and his physical condition and energy are getting worse and worse.
But the experience he accumulated over the years made him cunning and cunning. Some of the details of the meeting and discussion with Du Fei were deliberately leaked by him.
He wanted to see America's reaction to make his next judgment.
However, Khalid envisioned various scenarios in his mind, tough and gentle, but he did not expect that it would be Tracy and his wife coming in person on a private plane.
What a concept!
Nico is not an ordinary outgoing commander-in-chief. He is only sixty-six years old now and is in very good health. After leaving office, he helped the current commander-in-chief ascend to power, and he still has a very high reputation and influence.
It is impossible for Tracy and his wife to act without authorization. They represent the Nico family.
King Khalid lowered his eyes and fell into thought. Only then did he truly realize that Du Fei's proposal was not a fantasy, but real and feasible. However, so far, the probability of such feasibility is still low. .
The follow-up depends on America's attitude and whether Du Fei can withstand the pressure from all sides.
After a while, King Khalid only replied: "I understand~"
Prince Saramu was a little confused, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions and could only retreat.
…
On the other hand, Du Fei.
After Tracy and Edward confirmed Du Fei's attitude about providing mercenaries to Kill, they did not dwell on this matter.
In fact, the two of them were just standing in front of each other. It was neither them nor Du Fei who really decided the development of the situation.
Because this matter has risen to a strategic level.
It’s no longer a matter of fifty thousand people and two billion dollars a year.
The next step is Nico's private visit to the capital, which will be decisive.
I believe that if America wants to maintain her absolute authority in Shate and prevent Du Fei's mercenary plan from being implemented, she will inevitably transfer her interests elsewhere.
Then Tracy and his wife changed the subject and brought up the issue of Du Fei providing weapons to Sa Damu.
This is the real purpose of their visit this time.
"Du, the Scud missile fired by Sa Damu at Youtai this time caused huge losses..." Cuixi said seriously, watching Du Fei's reaction with his eyes.
Du Fei felt relieved and said calmly: "We have a proverb that says, no one is good at beating people, and no one is good at swearing. Since Youtai sent out fighter planes to attack Babylon first, he should be prepared for retaliation. No matter how great the loss is, No matter how many people die, it’s all their choice, isn’t it?”
The butt determines the head, and the stance determines the attitude.
Regarding this matter, Du Fei and Tracy's opinions are not in the same frequency band.
Edward said: "Du, you are right, but... you should understand that regarding our relationship with Youtai, some people hope that you can stop the weapons transaction with Sa Damu."
Du Fei said "Hmm", as if waiting for Edward's next words, but Edward had finished speaking.
"It's over?" Du Fei raised his eyebrows.
Edward gave a wry smile, he knew what the problem was.
They asked Du Fei to stop the transaction with Sa Damu, but they did not provide corresponding compensation. Based on his experience in dealing with Du Fei, there was no chance at all.
Du Fei was not angry at all, and said with a smile: "It's true... Tracy, Edward, they didn't say any conditions? They can't talk about it, I have to be obedient~"
Du Fei was not targeting Tracy and his wife, they were the ones who spread the message.
The relationship between the two parties is good, and there is cooperation with relevant interests. There is no need to be embarrassed just because of a few words.
Edward said: "Du, I'm sorry, but there are always some people who are self-righteous and think that the whole world should run according to their wishes."
Du Fei said indifferently: "We are friends, and friends should understand each other. I know that some things are difficult for you to refuse. However, you go back and tell those people, ask them if they know how much money I can make from the deal with Sadamu? That is hundreds of billions of dollars!" Then he turned his eyes to Tracy: "Dear, I don't care who they are, Wall Street bankers, or some shitty senators, whoever stops me from making money, I will kill him!"
Tracy's heart trembled, it was the first time she saw Du Fei in this state.
In the previous relationship, Du Fei was always a gentleman, smiling, polite, like a gentleman.
At this moment, Du Fei's eyes were filled with murderous intent, like a hungry tiger that was choosing its prey.
But in just a moment, Du Fei's temperament changed, and a smile appeared on his face again: "Of course, if they are willing to compensate for my losses, it is not impossible to talk, we are all friends~"
This up and down made Tracy not know what to say.
Edward took a deep breath, and had expected this result.
But his visit with Tracy this time was not without gain.
In fact, letting them come is the biggest gain, Du Fei will not let them go empty-handed.
Sure enough, after Du Fei flatly refused, he immediately gave a sweet date.
Du Fei said: "As for the issue of mercenaries, in my eyes, it is just a simple business, without any political conditions and intentions. To put it bluntly, it is to use the money of the Shat family to subsidize my consumption in the battlefield of Zhenla."
Du Fei's words are half true and half false.
He continued: "This mercenary army is a psychological comfort bought by the Shat royal family. Speaking of which, I have to thank you."
Tracy and his wife were stunned. Where did this come from?
Du Fei explained: "If it weren't for the laissez-faire and appeasement attitude adopted by your bar in Persia after the incident, which made the Shat family feel a sense of crisis, there would be no mercenaries at all."
Tracy and his wife looked at each other, thinking that it was all our own fault~
Du Fei also said that he understood their worries and concerns and could promise that America could send a certain number of observers while the mercenaries were in Saudi Arabia.
A tripartite team was formed with the Shate and the Nanyang Federation to impose certain restrictions on the mercenaries under the framework of the United Fruit.
This was Du Fei's way of giving face to Tracy and his wife. They came all the way here, so they should not return empty-handed.
And this had no impact on Du Fei.
First of all, it was still unclear whether the mercenary plan could be successful. Some concessions in this regard were just empty promises for the time being.
In addition, if the plan really succeeded, even if Du Fei did not take the initiative to say it, would America not send someone to monitor it?
It would be better to put it out in the open and do it in the name of the United Fruit, so that there would be some restraint.
To put it bluntly, it was all empty talk, without any substance.
