Chapter 1769 Ivan’s Return Gift

At noon the next day, Yang Cheng met with the future eldest princess who had taken some time out of her busy schedule.

However, because this person's identity became extremely sensitive, Yang Cheng set the meeting location at a more private club.

"Why are you so anxious to ask me out?" Ivan rushed in with a dusty face and asked rudely.

Yang Cheng pretended to be dissatisfied and complained, "Why, I can't ask you out if I have nothing to do? Your Highness, Princess?"

Even a fool can tell that this title is slightly ironic. Ivan has always been known for his high emotional intelligence. Although it is not much higher, the irony in the words is enough.

Suddenly a smile spread all over his face, and he lightly kicked Yang Cheng with his high heels under the table, and said coquettishly, "Sorry, I've been so busy recently. As you know, I need to take care of my father's affairs, including dealing with the special agent." People from the bureau will handle the security work.”

Of course, Yang Cheng wouldn't pay too much attention to this problem, and instead asked, "Do you need Secret Service protection so soon?"

Ivan's beautiful eyes were angry, "It started in October~"

Yang Cheng slapped his forehead, wondering why he had forgotten this, "Okay, do you have time after dinner later?"

"What's wrong?"

Yang Cheng smiled evilly, "Check your health~"

How could Ivan refuse such a straightforward invitation? "I didn't have time, but now I have~"

Yang Cheng will never admit that she has a hobby of collecting the eldest princess~

"Okay, let's get down to business. Now that everything has settled, is it time to implement what you promised me?"

Ivan frowned slightly. The relationship between men and women is one thing, and the exchange of interests is another. The two cannot be confused.

"Send in your list of people. I will personally supervise this matter. Don't worry, we will never let every supporter down~"

Yang Cheng specially called people out today just to hear these words, just don't regret it. He was really scared by that big mouth~

"I heard that you went to the Middle East some time ago?"

After Yang Cheng finished talking, Ivan suddenly got angry.

"Hmm~ How do you know?" Yang Cheng responded lightly,

However, he looked a little surprised, but he didn't lie. Denying it after everyone knew it would be a bit insulting to people's intelligence.

Ivan twitched his hair and said meaningfully, "You have solved such a big trouble for D~L~A. I can't help but want to know~"

Yang Cheng frowned slightly, has the news about Gavin spread? This is not something he wants to see. If it is spread from ten to ten, God knows what will happen to this matter if it spreads for a long time.

What if it is said that he forced people to death and took away their property? Isn't his reputation ruined?

"What else do you know?"

Ivan sipped the matsutake soup with a spoon and chuckled, "I know everything I need to know~"

"for example?"

"For example, you took over Iota and became D~L~A's agent in the Middle East~"

Yang Cheng sighed deeply. It seemed that his guess was correct. D~L~A took the initiative to leak this matter. Otherwise, it would not have been known to Ivan so quickly. The purpose was also very simple. It was nothing more than to give The established facts and impressions from the outside world tell everyone that Yang Cheng is working for D~L~A. If this guy has ambitions to rebel in the future, everyone will attack him in groups.

MMP, Yang Cheng really didn't expect that he would be plotted against him before he did anything. This feeling is really unpleasant.

And D~L~A's doing this is tantamount to forcing him to a dead end. It's not that I want to rebel, it's you who are forcing me to rebel, Yang Cheng thought to himself.

Of course, the rebellion is a bit serious, but with Gavin's secret notes in hand, Yang Cheng's position is already a bit awkward. As long as he doesn't hand over the notebook for a day, people who have been involved with Gavin will not be relieved, and they will He tried his best to get the notebook out of Yang Cheng's hands.

The simplest and most crude way is to let Yang Cheng lose his protection and let them manipulate him naturally.

"What are you thinking about?" Seeing Yang Cheng in a daze, Ivan couldn't help but ask.

Yang Cheng came back to his senses, smiled and shook his head, "It's okay. When you mentioned things in the Middle East, did you ask me for help?"

Ivan looked helpless, "I can't hide anything from you. I really need your help with a small matter."

"Say~"

"Recently, a group of buyers from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are in New York. They want to purchase a batch of military aircraft maintenance equipment, and of course some intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance equipment. The total purchase amount is about US$3 billion."

Yang Cheng frowned and said, "These are all allies of the United States. Why don't you just sell them directly through official channels? Why go through me? You know my fees are not cheap."

He implied in his words that it would cost money to do things with him.

However, he was right about one thing. These countries are all long-term purchasers of US arms. There is no issue of confidentiality protection. If they go directly through formal channels, no one will protest.

But through himself, Ivan undoubtedly violated the relevant requirements of the Arms Export Control Act. The Foreign Relations Committees of the House and Senate have absolute say and jurisdiction on the issue of U.S. foreign arms sales. It would be equivalent to bypassing Congress. In depriving the committee of its power, and offending the powerful departments in Congress before Comrade Jianguo officially took office, this is a bit too much.

Under normal circumstances, all aspects of U.S. foreign arms sales must be reviewed and approved by congressional special committees. Unless the country is in a "state of emergency," the president can directly promote the arms sales process without congressional evaluation.

At this time, Comrade Jianguo's request was obviously unreasonable. This was a forceful push for arms sales, and Yang Cheng had to suspect that this might be a reward for accepting donations before.

Ivan pretended to make up a set of rhetoric, "As the situation in the Middle East becomes more turbulent, the sale of weapons to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan is mainly used to maintain peace and stability in the region."

Yang Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "Your diplomatic rhetoric is good. Remember to say the same to reporters when something goes wrong~"

Ivan kicked him angrily, "Then do you want to do it or not?"

Yang Cheng thought for a moment, "What about time? Now or after he takes office? Where does the supply come from?"

He has to figure out the details, and he can't just carry the thunder for others in a daze!

An important reason why he is so cautious is that Comrade Jianguo is unreliable. He is a typical businessman who goes back on his words more than once or twice. Once something goes wrong, he puts the blame on himself and doesn't even cry. A place to cry.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with him wanting to sell arms. After all, selling arms is a daily part-time task for the US president. However, the sales methods of previous presidents vary greatly. Generally speaking, when conditions are good, the task is easier to complete. Military operations can be launched directly and brutally. The greater the losses to the country being attacked, the more the arms dealers will make, and the greater the total 'credit' will be.

It is for this reason that in the past few decades, almost every president after coming to power will find various reasons to beat up other countries on May 4th. To put it bluntly, it is to sell arms. After all, you, the boss, have a certain position. Arms dealers take half the credit, so people’s demands must be met, right?

However, in the hands of Comrade Jianguo, this matter was a bit difficult to handle. His two predecessors played too hard before. The war actually hurt the national strength. Not to mention the result was awesome and showed the majesty of the most powerful country. , but it was also swallowed with broken teeth. The domestic economy is sluggish and basically resting on its laurels. If Comrade Jianguo launches another war at this time, I am afraid that the United States will be completely trapped in the quagmire and unable to get out.

He knows this very well, and all the officials with a little bit of brains also understand that this battle must not be started lightly, even if you are going crazy, otherwise you will be fucked instead of pretending to be cool, and you will not be able to cry at all.

Since Comrade Jianguo knows that war cannot be fought lightly, how can he complete the sales task with quality and quantity without fighting?

A simple word can answer it - the fox pretends to be the tiger's power!

If you can't really hit me, I will just take out a few targets, scare the surrounding small countries, and force you to spend money to buy arms.

Asia is naturally Country Z. With such a huge land area, it is surrounded by a group of strange small countries. South Korea, the Asian anus that thinks it is the best in the universe, small RB who looks peaceful but is actually ambitious and ready to make moves, and there is a white-eyed wolf in the south. Nan, of course, there are the Asans who even fart with Country Z. They also know that they cannot compete with Country Z by eating curry, so they still have to buy the weapons they should buy;

The Middle East is naturally Ilang. It forcibly increases the military strength of Ilang, scaring the surrounding wealthy people to spend money to arm themselves;

Europe is naturally its old rival, the polar bear. The former little brother has now become the ‘power’ of Eastern Europe. As the big brother becomes stronger, they have to buy some weapons. At least they can resist for a few days before surrendering, so they can gain some benefits.

With these three markets, arms dealers will naturally have sales, and they will not force Comrade Jianguo to start a war.

However, the United States never sells arms indiscriminately. There is a basis for distinction between closeness and distance, including what kind of equipment can be sold to which region and how much it sells to you.

For example, RB wants F~35 like crazy, but unfortunately they are not even qualified to spend money to participate in project research. Who makes you not a godson of NATO?

Of course, the RB people still got the coveted F-35. There is no other way. How could the arms dealers ignore their profits several times over and worry about your so-called national strategy? Not only did they sell you the aircraft, they also sold a production line. However, little RB was deceived by this production line. The manufacturing cost was several times that of the original factory. Many system equipment must continue to be imported, otherwise it would be just a skin bag.

Anyway, just one sentence - strategy is worthless in front of a beautiful sword!

All in all, although the laws and regulations on the surface can restrict the freedom of arms dealers, when they are determined to push forward a certain arms case, they have to work for them honestly, and the law is nothing.

The reason why Comrade Jianguo promoted it so actively was because he wanted to take advantage of the prestige he had just come to power to cut through the mess quickly. Once time goes by and he encounters more constraints, it will be difficult to push forward again.

Sure enough, Ivan's answer confirmed Yang Cheng's guess, "The transaction will be completed within half a year. You don't have to worry about the supply of goods. You are only responsible for transporting the equipment to the buyer!"

Yang Cheng frowned, "In other words, this is a private transaction?"

"Yes~"

Yang Cheng pondered, "How much can I get?"

Ivan hesitated for a moment, "The purchaser will pay you an additional 5% commission~"
