Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 485: Friends or Enemies?
"I won't do it without $5 million."

Song Heping's tone didn't seem to be joking.

This made Kelly feel a little strange.

Is this kid serious?
Is it really all about money?
But this price...

It's so fucking outrageous.

"You offered an unattainable price."

Song Heping said, "Aren't you going to fight drugs? Let me put it this way. I've checked and found out that you've invested $7 million in your anti-drug program in Colombia this year. The Colombian government took so much of your money, and look at what they've accomplished. I've offered you $5 million, which is absolutely fair and a great value. Is there a problem?"

Kelly's eyes never left Song Heping's face.

This is a most typical oriental face.

She tried to find a hint of lying on the young man's face.

But in the end, she didn't see it.

She even thought that this guy was telling the truth.

What made Kelly most embarrassed was that Song Heping's offer was something he could not refute.

Because some reasons cannot be clearly stated.

Of course Song Heping knew these reasons.

The US government is very keen on foreign aid.

He looks really generous, and even has a bit of an American philanthropist vibe.

But if you look beyond the facts, you will find that this is just a wealth transfer game.

Having been in Yiligo for a long time, Song Heping had dealt with many military leaders and people from the provisional government there, so he naturally understood the ins and outs of the matter.

For example, the $7 million in aid is divided into several parts. The first is training. The Army sends the Green Beret special forces to provide training guidance to the Colombian government special forces, such as the AGLAN unit or the entire CCOPE combat group, all of which are training guidance provided by the US special forces.

This training can be discounted into dollars.

The second is technical support. For example, the fuel and wear and tear of the previously deployed electronic reconnaissance aircraft, as well as personnel attendance allowances, can also be valued in US dollars.

The last big piece is weapons and equipment.

This is where it gets interesting. The weapons are all produced by American military-industrial complexes, and the sponsors are all American equipment, so in effect, all of these US dollars in orders have returned to the military-industrial complexes and have not left the United States at all.

Finally, there is the operational funding, which is a small amount of crumbs for senior Colombian government officials and military leaders.

The commissioners from the United States will also want to take a share of the pie, but they have to give some small rewards to the Colombian officials who signed the cooperation agreement. After all, being a puppet also requires wages, right?
In the end, the entire huge amount of funds was actually paid by the United States, divided up by Commissioner Smith and the arms giants, and the special forces responsible for the operation received some subsidies. As for what effect can $7 million achieve?
Why do we need effects?

This is a big deal.

It's profit!
If we really eradicate drugs in South America, there will be no business, no profits, and no financial resources.

Without these, how will Commissioner Smith in the parliament get it?
How to get the military giant?
How do we get the puppets in my government?
Song Heping knew too well the intricacies of the matter, so he dared to make an offer.

This is a defense company. It does not need any arms sponsorship or military training. Private companies will not embezzle themselves. The only people it needs to take care of are Commissioners Smith in Parliament, the military or intelligence agencies.

Obviously, this will make the bigwigs of the military-industrial complex unhappy.

If the bosses are unhappy, Commissioner Smith and his colleagues will have a hard time.

Therefore, people like Kelly, who was sitting opposite him, would not agree to Song Heping's plan, unless they really encountered a problem that could not be solved and could not be solved by supporting the local government. In that case, they might outsource the business to a "black glove" like himself.

Song Heping has a very accurate understanding of himself and his company, so he can accurately grasp Kelly's pain points.

"Are you really not afraid that I will agree to let you do this?"

There was a threatening tone in Kelly's voice.

Of course it was a threat. If ELN Armed Forces was Song Heping's client, then letting him kill his own client would, in Kelly's opinion, damage the reputation of Song Heping's company.

It's just that she underestimated Song Heping.

She was not aware of the wisdom of the Orientals.

Song Heping grinned and said with certainty, "As long as you pay me, as long as the money arrives, I'll do it. Don't worry, I wouldn't dare defraud the US government, right? I'm more worried about you putting me on a global wanted list."

"Those who say they're afraid may not actually be afraid," Kelly said. "Those who say they're not afraid may actually be afraid."

Song Heping asked: "So, you agreed?"

Kelly said, "I don't have the authority to mobilize $500 million. If this is really going to happen, it can't be finalized now."

Song Heping looked at the white-haired witch opposite him with a smile.

He had a background on this woman.

I know that she is suspicious and ruthless by nature, and she is cruel in her actions.

But there is one thing she would never agree to this deal.

Because this was decided by her superiors.

Even if she really made the decision and agreed, and the money really came in, Song Heping would not worry at all.

Five hundred million dollars, haha.

Why not discuss it with Morins and play a double game, and then have ELN pretend to be defeated and directly announce its disbandment like AUC?
Five hundred million dollars is enough to rebuild another armed group.

ELN is just a code name.

What is the most important thing in organizing anti-government armed forces?

people!
And then there’s money!
Some people have money, so why are they afraid of not being able to form an anti-government armed force in a place like South America?

This trick was learned from the Americans.

Business.

The longer you work, the more you will gain.

When an ELN disbands, an ALN ​​emerges. When the ALN collapses, the entire BLN emerges.

Didn’t the US military in Iraq use the same trick when it was suppressing anti-US forces?
Raise the bandits to respect themselves.

This is the essence of American war games.

A country that was founded on war is like a drug addict, it will become addicted.

"Let's get back to business," Song Heping said. "Regarding your action team this time, do you intend to be friends with me, or to tear your face off and fight me to the death?"

Kelly thought for a moment and replied, "To be friends, you have to show sincerity."

Song Heping was very generous: "Okay, as long as you promise not to bother me in the future, I will release the person immediately and send the boat here."

Kelly thought for a moment and nodded, "Deal."

She felt that Song Heping was a person who only cared about money. Such a person might not be harmful and could be very useful to her.

"Since the deal is done, I'll go back."

Just as Song Heping stood up to leave, he turned around and heard Kelly calling him from behind.

"Mr. Song, wait."

　Asking for a monthly ticket!
