From Arms Dealer To King of War

  Chapter 961 The Status of Joe’s Boss

   Said saw Al Thani's appearance, he got up and wanted to leave...

   Qiaojia shook his head and laughed, grabbed Said and said, "Sit down, we are all friends, what can't we talk about?

   I may not be able to do everything, but when have you ever seen me let a friend down? "

   Al Thani nodded in approval of Qiaojia's words, he walked to the side of the wine cabinet, unexpectedly picked up a bottle of whiskey and poured a full glass...

  Then, under Boss Joe's weird gaze, the prince sat on the sofa beside him and said, "I've conveyed your proposal back...

  The royal family of Qatar still needs to do some research and evaluation, but I don't think the Shah will give us too much time to think about it. "

   Qiaojia nodded slightly when he heard this. Al Thani still has a bit of a political mind.

   Pulling allies to sever diplomatic relations with Qatar, and kicking Qatar out of the GCC by the way, there is no psychological obstacle for the Shah.

  The difference lies in whether everyone can maintain a basic tacit understanding?

   The first is of course to turn his face directly. The Shah will stick to his position as the leader of the GCC, kick out the emerging wealthy Qatar, and completely isolate him.

  The second is what I talked about before. After I kicked you out, everyone expressed that they would not deal with it, but they can maintain implicit cooperation. You need to protect the interests of the oil family through your own actions.

  Everyone knows the benefits of this approach. The only difference is what kind of compensation Qatar, as the wronged party, can get, and at the same time avoid being wiped out by the Shah in the end.

  When Boss Joe proposed this method, the Shah, who has the initiative and core interests, will definitely promote the implementation of this plan.

   This is where Al Thani's anxiety comes from!

   Without sufficient protection, once Qatar is kicked out of the GCC, it will immediately fall into siege. Who would not be afraid of this?

  Seeing Al Thani's anxious appearance, Qiaojia said with a smile: "Then what are you thinking?

  If you are unwilling, I will inform Eric to use this military purchase to put pressure on the Shah.

   They made a wrong bet during the general election, and now they have something to ask for, but I can mediate. "

   Al Thani listened, shook his head slightly and said: "The conflict between us and the Shah is very deep, and some places are almost irreconcilable.

  Even if you don't mention it, they will still kick us out once the Shah has more energy.

  Actually, your proposal is correct. If Qatar wants to seek influence, it cannot act in the shadow of the Shah. This will not only dissatisfy the Shah, but also discount our efforts.

  If you do what you say, it is actually in our best interest, because only by jumping out of the original framework can we seek influence.

  The only question now is how to ensure that the Shah will keep his promise? "

  Joga looked at Al Thani, who had been staring at him, and said helplessly, "What can I do for you?"

  Al Thani looked into Choga's eyes and said very seriously: "The American garrison in our country is not reliable, and England's promise is only verbal.

  We need a military force that can support us at critical times!

   This force does not need to go to the frontal battlefield, as long as we can forcefully push back when we face a tentative attack. "

   Hearing this, Qiaojia pointed to his nose and said, "Me? You want me to send someone?"

   Al Thani nodded vigorously and said: "4 billion, 4 billion dollars in four years!

   As long as you are willing to send someone over, we will offer you a four-year, $4 billion contract! "

   As Al Thani looked into Choja's eyes, he said, "Jackal, it was you who told the Shah's Dewali the advice, you have to help me!"

   Qiaojia said helplessly after hearing this: "4 billion is a big number, but do you think it is worth spending 1 billion a year for me to send a few special forces?"

  Al Thani shook his head and said, "Jackal, don't underestimate yourself!

  Once the Shah breaks off diplomatic relations with us, Kuwait, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates will follow suit.

   At that time we were surrounded in the Persian Gulf!

  If we seek help from certain big countries, no matter which one is China and Russia, it will attract more pressure, and they will not be willing to affect the relationship with the Shah for us.

   But you can!

   is your advice to the Shah and for the benefit of the Petroleum Union they must support you.

  And your influence in Iraq is enough to make Kuwait dare not move. "

   While speaking, Al Thani glanced at Said, and then said in a deep voice: "You are friends with Tahnoni, and you are still a collaborator with Said, so the UAE will not trouble you.

  The only one left in Bahrain...

   Jackal, you have enough influence in the United States, you can expand your military power.

  If you are willing to open up the investment of the Princess Sea Guard and expand the **** route to the Persian Gulf...

  We can invest $6 billion in you to expand the size of your fleet.

  As long as we unite, we can make Bahrain dare not act rashly! "

  Joga looked at Al Thani like a ghost, and said, "Are you going to spend ten billion dollars to buy insurance from me?"

   While talking, Qiaojia watched Said quietly waving his hands out of Al Thani's sight, and he said with a smile: "Don't hide it, we are all friends.

  Even if Qatar wants to expand its navy, that is something your adults should care about. Are you short of money?

   And I won't agree!

  6 billion to build a navy is simply a dream. My core site is in Central Africa, and the output here cannot support a fleet.

  The sphere of influence at sea has been demarcated for many years, and this cannot be shaken by me.

   Just relying on escorts to live, the fleet is an asset that is constantly depreciating!

  My current one Hamilton class and three Seahawk-43s are just right, and I can't support them if there are too many. "

   Upon hearing this, Al Thani said unwillingly: "Then what if we are willing to pay for your consumption?"

   Qiaojia looked at Al Thani with a smirk, and said, "It's really that simple, why don't you do it yourself?

  You want to pull me out and use me to increase your naval strength, so that you can bypass the attention of the United States and avoid the constraints of surrounding countries.

  In the end, all the conflicts were focused on me. How long can I stand it?

  Dude, I consider you a friend, and I'd love to help you, but you can't make me do what I can't do. "

  Al Thani nodded slightly ashamed when he heard this, and said, "You are right, we are demanding too much!

   But you can understand our concerns, right?

  Jackal, the matter of the navy can be put aside later, but the security contract..."

   Qiaojia smiled when he heard that...

   Just kidding, 4 billion in four years, what level of contract is this?

  If it weren’t for the old U.S. industrial complex asking for more, the 7,000 U.S. troops stationed in Qatar would go through fire and water for the money.

  As for Boss Joe, as long as Dazui Tang is in power and Steven is the Secretary of State, he can put pressure on the Shah through the United States so that the Shah will not trouble Qatar.

   There are no obstacles in this matter, because the split of the GCC is what the US itself wants to see.

   They just want to split, they don't want to see the Shah grow.

  Boss Joe knows it well, but Al Thani and the people behind him dare not take the risk because the price is too high!

  Qatar’s 4 billion is not so much an employment contract as it is a lobbying fee handed over to Joe’s boss.

   This money is of course time-limited, and it is based on Dazui Tang's tenure and subsequent conditions.

   Sending people over is a formality, and Al Thani and the people behind him want to spend money to buy a peace of mind.

  As Said said, at this point, if you don’t want their money, they won’t feel at ease.

  Nodding in approval of Al Thani's request, Choga reached out to Al Thani, who was still not completely relieved, and said, "We've made a deal, and I will send a few special forces to Qatar, and help you train some elite special forces!

  I provide additional additional services, so it’s not too much for you to lend me a base for transport planes to take off and land? "

As he said that, Qiaojia looked at and nodded, but Al Thani still had worries in his eyes. He shook his head with a smile and said, "Aren't you just worried that the Shah will repent after a few years, completely isolate you, and even swallow you?" drop you?

  I lack a luxury private jet, if you are willing to pay for it, I will give you an idea.

  Guarantee that as long as you don't mess around, the Qatari regime will have no problems within 30 years. "

  Al Thani stood up and said, "I ordered a Bombardier Global 8000, and it will be delivered in two months.

  Jackal, you are about to have a son, and this plane will send you off.

  I still have a Riva yacht, which I only used once, and I will give it to you together!

  We are friends, tell me, what is the solution? "

  Choga was very satisfied with Al Thani's attitude, because he said 'send', and the reason was that his son was about to be born...

  Here is very particular, if it is a transaction, the taste is not right!

  Al Thani understands the importance of a friend called "Jackal". Being a friend of "Jackal" is much better than being his business partner.

  Because the development history of P·B told him that Jackal has never let his friends down!

  Seeing Al Thani fidgeting, Choja stood up and poured him a glass of 'juice', then said with a smile: "You know, I understood the logic of realizing influence very early on.

  But I have only recently fully figured out the core value of 'money'! "

While speaking, Qiaojia looked at Al Thani's curious face, and said with a smile: "Those green papers can not only buy valuable assets to seek appreciation and avoid risks, but also buy influence, and they are so huge that no one can ignore them." influence!"

  Al Thani frowned and said, "Are you telling us to increase arms purchases and seek protection from the United States?"

   Qiaojia waved his hand and said: "This is a way, but it is not the right way to expand influence.

  Will not use military strength to make profits, no matter how much you buy, it will be a batch of assets that keep depreciating.

   Only by doing things upright and spending money clearly can the whole world know your existence. "

  Al Thani heard this, and said helplessly, "Jackal, don't go around in circles..."
