Chapter 1,266 Exchange War
We haven’t seen each other for more than three years, and Nayef seems much more mature than before.
Both his beard and face were far from the handsome prince he was before, and his belly even showed signs of gaining weight.
The old king is getting older day by day, and he, the crown prince, is gradually pushed to the front of the stage, gradually losing his edges in the face of various entertainments, and becoming a qualified heir.
"Long time no see, my dear friend!"
Opening their arms to welcome him warmly, Nayef and Jiang Chen gave him a warm hug.
"Long time no see," Jiang Chen smiled and made an inviting gesture to the room next to him, "This way, please."
The dinner venue was crowded and not suitable for business discussions.
Before entering, Jiang Chen invited this old friend to the reception room downstairs of the banquet hall in the name of reminiscing about old times.
"I'm taking a lot of risk in doing this for you." Nayef gestured to the bodyguards next to him, telling them to stand at the door. After the door was closed, he lowered his voice and said to Jiang Chen, "You don't understand The grievances between our sects. If you have known about it, you should know that we have a feud with the Syrians, and we would rather Bashar step down now, immediately, instead of joining the Russians in supporting him and his stupid teachings."
Although Saudi Arabia and the United States have been unwilling to admit it.
But in fact, it was they who provided money and weapons that created such a "monster"-like opposition in Syria.
But what does it matter?
This is the decision of the Saudi royal family, and it does not mean that Nayef agrees with it.
"But I think you will definitely be an enlightened king who will bring some different changes to your country and your world. You should be very clear that any religion will eventually usher in secularization. If you cannot adapt to this The only way to go through time is to be run over by the wheels of time." Jiang Chen said softly.
“I don’t want to talk about faith with an atheist,” Nayef said with a straight face. “And my father.”
"I apologize if it offended you." Jiang Chen said softly.
Jiang Chen knew very well that although the young Prince Nayef belonged to the Ni sect like his royal family, he was more enlightened in thought than the Shiite sect. For example, he never puts a headscarf on his princess at parties held abroad.
For example, he can sit here peacefully and chat with a heretic who has no faith, and even become friends.
This may be related to his early experience of studying in the United States, or it may be due to his frequent contact with some Western capitalists.
In short, there was no obstacle in communication between him and Jiang Chen.
This is also the reason why Jiang Chen is willing to make friends with him.
"...Listen, you refused us to build a temple in your place, and you even used a...an oil-producing tree to knock down our oil prices. In short, you and your business are not welcome in the Persian Gulf. , at least not welcomed by the royal family. If your fresh water had not irrigated the gardens of our holy city, my father would not be as friendly as he is now in sending ambassadors to you." Nayef stared at the general and said.
"What's this?" Jiang Chen smiled, as if he didn't take what he said seriously, and said calmly, "If you stand on my side, maybe we can turn your desert into a prairie."
Turn desert into grassland?
Nayef was visibly stunned.
"...are you telling the truth?"
"For us, this is not a difficult task. Or do you think it will be more difficult to grow grass in the deserts of the earth than to farm under the sea or even on Mars?" Jiang Chen pretended to be cool in an understatement. He coughed and said, "Don't go off topic. We can wait until you become king to discuss the matter of 'transforming nature'. We are discussing another issue now,"
After calming down, Nayev leaned on the chair and quietly waited for Jiang Chen's next words.
"I have a batch of weapons and a group of well-trained South African mercenaries. I need you to help me send them from the Persian Gulf into Syria, and secure a supply route from the Persian Gulf to the Syrian border for me. Passage. Don't say it's impossible, I know you have a way." Jiang Chen said seriously while staring into Nayef's eyes.
These mercenaries who came out of the slums of Madagascar were all cheap cannon fodder. They were the historical legacy of the Star Ring Trade when it competed with the Freemasons for control of Madagascar. They were non-staff in the Star Ring Trade's corporate military system.
They are well trained and have large numbers. Even without mechanical exoskeletons, they can still form a good combat effectiveness.
"But why should I help you? What benefits can you give me?" Nayef spread his hands and said with a smile, "Money? You know I don't lack that thing."
At the negotiating table, especially at this level, friendship is not enough to be a bargaining chip.
And Jiang Chen didn't expect him to do this favor just because he helped him build a "robot". After all, as Nayef said, he will take a great risk, even the risk that he will be kicked out of the royal family if the matter is revealed. If it weren't for that favor, he probably wouldn't be sitting here talking to Jiang Chen about this matter.
Looking at Nayev, Jiang Chen smiled and spoke slowly.
"I can give you an explanation. The size of the mercenary group I plan to send to Syria is about 10,000 people. They will be proficient in using drones and are good at using various modern vehicles. Originally, these people were working for Arrow Company. They worked hard and were later recruited by us to fight against the Freemasons. After the Syrian issue is resolved, I have no intention of continuing to raise these people. I can transfer them to you."
"Ten thousand people?" Nayev also laughed and shook his head, "What can ten thousand people do? I advise you not to get involved in things in the desert. No matter what deal you have reached with the Russians, this is It was a wrong decision.”
Ten thousand people, and they were all infantry.
It would be fine if they were orbital airborne troops from Starlink Trading, but from what Jiang Chen said, these 10,000 people were just a group of infantry without the protection of mechanical exoskeletons or the cover of main battle tanks. Throwing it into the swamp of Syria, I'm afraid it won't even make a splash.
You know, Bashar's regular army has more than 300,000 soldiers.
However, after hearing Nayef's words, Jiang Chen just smiled faintly.
"Then what if I tell you that the combat effectiveness of these 10,000 people is comparable to 50,000?"
The room suddenly became quiet.
With his fingers tightly clasped on the armrests of the chair, Nayev swallowed and looked at Jiang Chen suspiciously.
"This is impossible. How can you be sure that their combat effectiveness is comparable to fifty thousand people?"
"Nothing is impossible." Jiang Chen shrugged, "These people once served the Arrow Company of the Freemasonry, and later accepted our reorganization. One is the most powerful military company in the old era, and the other is the most powerful in the new era. A powerful private armed force. These ten thousand people are not conscripts or volunteers pulled from the reserves. They are a group of monsters whose combat effectiveness is comparable to that of special forces. The blood stained on their hands can only belong to those who are as powerful as them. warriors, not a bunch of unarmed civilians.”
In order to avoid revealing their identities, these non-staff mercenaries will not be equipped with exoskeletons.
But without a mechanical exoskeleton, he still has genetic medicine.
A shot of E-level genetic medicine was injected into his arm, and after half a month of physical training, he became a little superman. So what if there’s no exoskeleton? Their reaction ability and battlefield survivability are as good as ordinary people. In addition to the regular army of Star Ring Trade, which other army can use special forces to pull out an entire infantry division?
Nayef fell silent.
In name, he is a Nazi and a supporter of fundamentalism, but deep down in his heart, he does not agree with this status quo. As Jiang Chen said, secularization is the ultimate future of all faiths. Dubai next door to them is an example. Although it has very little oil, it is much more prosperous than his hometown.
But change is not that simple.
Even the crown prince of a country, even the future king, cannot do whatever he wants in his kingdom. He can be mediocre, he can use the royal family's money to spend a lot of money, and destroy the entire royal family's savings, but if he dares to carry out any religious revolution in the country, the troops who support the original doctrine will shoot him immediately. Target him with your mouth and put his uncle or brother on the throne.
The conditions Jiang Chen offered were very attractive.
A division of mercenaries.
After solving the troubles in Syria, this powerful force will become a private soldier loyal only to him.
If he wants to make some changes in his country, he must have a military force that is absolutely loyal to him. Moreover, this military force is supported by the Star Ring Trade, which will also become his biggest reliance in changing his kingdom in the future.
Moreover, it is best to be a group of pagans who do not care about right and wrong and will not show mercy when killing people...
