Chapter 163 Pocket Money

, firepower is king

The breakfast was exceptionally rich.

The staple food is bread, but there are three kinds of bread, as well as flatbread. In addition, there is a large spread of things to spread on the bread, including butter, honey, jam, cheese, and four or five kinds of high-gloss paste.

There are also soups, purees and consommes, as well as tea and coffee.

In fact, it's quite delicious, but Gao Guang only misses fried dough sticks and tofu pudding, and salty tofu pudding. As for super luxuries like Cantonese morning tea, Gao Guang doesn't dare to think about it.

When breakfast was almost done, the servants all withdrew, and the conversation continued, but the specific topic was no longer about grand strategy, but into details.

Salah muttered to Moussa for a while, and then he said a little apologetically: "I'm sorry, my English is not very good, so he talked to Moussa in Kurdish. He didn't want to hide anything from you, let Moussa Let me explain it to you.”

Musa immediately said: "My uncle wants to give me some people. I have to have enough people to use. You are sent by the United States to protect me, but I can't really let you do something very dangerous." , so it’s better to have some private guards, but what do you think about letting them join the Freedom and Peace Alliance?”

"Oh, of course this is possible."

Musa said expectantly: "My uncle and I both hope that you can lead them. Can I hire you for a long time? As for the salary, a monthly salary of fifty thousand US dollars, plus bonuses, what do you think? Oh, this is my uncle's offer. If you are not satisfied, we can discuss it again.”

A monthly salary of 50,000 U.S. dollars is a super high salary, and bonuses are hard to calculate, but let’s put it this way, even if you earn 100,000 U.S. dollars a month, you can’t do high-gloss work.

If a person has no long-term worries, he must have immediate worries. This requires a longer-term perspective.

With a large group of people, they are always cheering each other out when they go out, and I am the foreman, in charge of a group of subordinates. If I have anything to do, I can just give orders to the subordinates. If you think about it this way, it seems quite refreshing.

But if you think about it carefully, it saves trouble and makes you more prestigious, but the CIA is not a jobber, and the money earned is not very appropriate.

This Musa used to be a capitulator and a naive pacifist, but now he has a bone in the back of his head. If you tie him too tightly, the road will be narrow in the future.

Gao Guang thought deeply for a moment, and finally could only shake his head and said: "Sorry, I have my own team and career, so I can't help you all the time. After I fulfill my contract with the Pentagon, I have to go back and do my thing. ”

If the underground market in Los Angeles could be monopolized, it would be possible to earn more than 100,000 U.S. dollars a month, or even a million dollars a month. For the sake of this 50,000 U.S. dollars monthly salary, he would be bound to Moussa? Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Musa and his uncle looked at each other, and then started chattering again. After a moment, Musa said to Gao Guang: "My uncle wants to give me half of his guards. In addition, he can let the black robe Sai Yide comes to work with me. Of course, Said in black robe is only responsible for hands-on work. What do you think? "

Gao Guang asked curiously: "Black-robed Said, is there anything special about him?"

Salah said with a serious face: "Sayed is an Iranian Kurd, but he has fought in Afghanistan for seven years. He is the person in charge of executions, so he wears a black robe. Now he has been working for me for eight years. He is a very, very good fighter and a warrior. People respectfully call him Said the Black Robe. I think Moussa will be safer with his help.”

Gao Guang thought for a while, and then he felt that Salah was a little too hasty.

The Kurds have been bullied for a thousand years. Now that they have seen a little hope, they will naturally feel that they are not waiting for others. But the problem is that haste makes waste, and doing things too hastily can lead to bad things.

"I don't think it's good. If you can, please don't give your guard to Musa."

Gao Guang is not thinking about himself now, he really is thinking about Musa, but he has to explain the reason for his objection.

"The reason why the United States trusts Moussa and tries to support Moussa is because Moussa's ideas and lines are completely different from those of you hardliners. This allows the United States to see the needed pattern, but if you give your protection to Moussa, , openly supporting Moussa, it can only mean that either your thinking has changed, or Moussa’s course has changed.”

After finishing speaking, Gao Guang spread his hands and said, "Will your minds change?"

Salah shook his head and said: "Impossible!"

The three brothers from Musa's father's generation are all die-hards, and their ideas cannot be changed. That's why they broke up with Musa before. Even Musa's father refused to recognize this son is the best proof.

Salah was not stupid. He understood it as soon as Gao Guang said it, so after thinking for a moment, he hesitated and said: "You mean to let me support Moussa secretly, but on the surface, still maintain the illusion of severing ties?"

"Yes."

Salah looked at Moussa and said, "What do you think?"

Musa thought for a moment and said: "It makes sense. I still can't take money directly from the family, let alone use your guards."

"But you must have your own manpower. Only with capable subordinates can you carry out your work and complete your career."

Musa waved his hand and said: "I want to build an armed force that belongs entirely to me!"

Salah took a long breath and said: "Okay! This is what the heir of the Balhari family should look like! I am actually very familiar with the establishment of armed forces. Let me teach you some experience. First of all , you need to find those who are loyal and brave, preferably with rich combat experience..."

Musa suddenly said: "Wait a minute, uncle, how many men do you have in your army?"

Salah said proudly: "More than a hundred people, all loyal to me, will definitely execute every order I give."

Musa looked at Gao Guang and said, "How many people do you think I need?"

Gao Guang said without hesitation: "If you need a bodyguard team, then thirty people are enough. If you want an army, there must be at least one hundred thousand people, a real army!"

Salah breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This is unlikely. Establishing a local armed force, this..."

Musa shook his head and smiled: "Uncle, we are not talking about the same thing."

Gao Guang quickly waved his hand and said: "Don't talk about this. Well, in general, if you want to do big things, you must first have someone who is right, but this person must be suitable. Otherwise, the more people there are, the more chaotic it will be. I think Musa At the beginning, we still need to lay a solid foundation and build a team that truly belongs to him and agrees with his philosophy.”

Salah nodded thoughtfully and said: "It makes sense, um, it makes sense."

After finishing speaking, Salah looked at Moussa and said: "The money I give you cannot go through the bank, it will definitely be found out. It is best to use cash. One hundred thousand US dollars is still too little, but there is not much cash at home now." Duo, I will prepare one million US dollars in cash for you. It will take a few days. When you want to use it, I will send someone to send it to you secretly. Don’t worry, this money will never be found to have anything to do with the family. ”

Gao Guang felt that a person who could only live by eating big cakes suddenly had a lot of money. Americans were not stupid, so how could they not notice it.

The key is that Gao Guang didn't want to get too involved with the die-hard Kurdish elements, so he tried out: "Is there a more reliable way, such as raising funds publicly, but it is very clean and safe."

Salah frowned. He thought for a while and said: "Yes, the Kurdish expatriates donate money. They can provide a lot of money. My eldest brother and second brother donate a lot of money every year. Let them talk about it privately." "It should be possible to obtain funds through this channel, but it's hard to say how much we can get. If we can't intervene publicly, it depends on whether Moussa can persuade the people who manage the funds."

Moussa smiled and said: "I will go and say it. I believe I can get them to support me."

Salah nodded, looked at Moussa with a distressed look and said: "I originally wanted you to live at home, and send you a few cars and some guards, but if these are not available, you can only It’s hard to live in a hotel.”

Musa said firmly: "For the sake of ideals, it doesn't matter if you endure some hardships."

Sighing softly, Salah said helplessly: "If you need anything, tell me and I can help in private without anyone finding out."

"I know, uncle, I know how to do it, and I can definitely do it well."

Looking at his watch, Moussa said: "I can't stay here for too long. I want to talk to all the Kurdish forces in Baghdad. I must get support from outside the family, openly. support, so I’m going to talk to them today.”

Salah thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, if you need financial and material support, be sure to tell me, especially if you need arms, tell me, I will help you get arms, there are other channels Not safe.”

Gao Guang thought about it and said: "Speaking of arms, can you get me an AK rifle, with better quality and better bullets?"

Salah was stunned for a moment and said: "A rifle? Not ten thousand, or a thousand rifles?"

"One handful is enough for my own use..."

Salah was silent. After a moment, he finally said: "I will open a box of new guns for you when I leave later. I will ask the servant to pack them up. Make sure they are new guns and good ones. You only need to confirm it once." A rifle?"

"Well, it's okay to have two more. My employees will need them after they arrive."

Salah nodded, and then he shouted: "Sayed, bring the money in."

Said, who was wearing a black robe, came in with a backpack and put it in front of Salah. Salah opened the zipper and said: "There are two hundred and thirty thousand dollars in it, some of which are one hundred, but there are also some." Twenty and ten yuan denominations, you take pocket money, don't be too frugal, find a good hotel to book it in, don't let others crowd with you, tell your father not to transfer money, just take cash from me , I will get the money for you next month, don’t worry, I will send someone to deliver it to you quietly.”

Musa nodded and said, "Okay, uncle."

Putting away the rather heavy backpack, Musa naturally handed it to Gao Guang. Under Gao Guang's stunned gaze, Musa suddenly said with an embarrassed look on his face: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm used to it before. I'm really I didn’t think of you as... I’m sorry.”

Gao Guang was a little confused. He didn't know what he was being treated as. Could it be that he was the boy carrying the bag? But it seemed that it was not embarrassing for the boy carrying a bag of money.
