Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 529 Benefits

It is not easy for an organization that opposes the government to overthrow the existing regime. Under normal circumstances, the success rate should not exceed 10%. Li Zhijie and others should understand this, but now Li Zhijie actually said that he is % sure, which makes Lu Shaohua doubtful.

Of course, Lu Shaohua didn't think that Li Zhijie and Xie Jianwei were fools. Doing anything, especially something related to the oil field, should be done after full consideration. That's why Lu Shaohua didn't get anxious, but waited quietly for Li Zhijie's explanation.

Li Zhijie did not disappoint Lu Shaohua, and soon he began to explain. "When they exchanged the oil fields for weapons and equipment with us, I sent people to thoroughly investigate their details and found that they were not an ordinary organization, and the Americans were behind them."

After finishing speaking, Li Zhijie looked up at Lu Shaohua, and seeing that the latter did not react much, he continued, "So, Jianwei, Brother Qian and I have discussed this deal, and we have analyzed it carefully. Even if their reaction fails, our oil fields will be fine. After all, the failure of the reaction does not mean that the entire organization will be disbanded. With the support of the Americans, it is impossible for the government's regular army to completely exterminate them."

I have to say that Li Zhijie's analysis makes a lot of sense, especially the latter part, which makes even more sense. The failure of the reaction does not mean disbanding. With someone backing it up, the chance of it disbanding is too small. But then again, people support it behind the scenes for their own interests. If one day the organization is no longer of any use, will it lose this backing?

"The reason why the Middle East is so chaotic is because they have a lot of oil resources. This is the fundamental problem. Where there are interests, there will be wars. And every reactionary organization or government army has a backer. For example, the Saudi Arabian government also has a backer. It is difficult to get a backer." After a pause, Lu Shaohua continued. "Even if the reactionary organization has the secret support of the Americans, it does not mean that they will definitely succeed. You must know that the Americans are a typical paper tiger. What they consider most is interests. If one day the reactionary organization is no longer useful, then the Americans will give up on it. It is not impossible to support another reactionary organization. Have you considered this?"

What Lu Shaohua said was absolutely correct. The reason why there are constant wars in the Middle East is because of oil. Moreover, those countries are small and it is impossible for them to become strong. The powerful countries in the world cannot make them strong either, because if they do that, they will have the ability to protect themselves. In addition, with abundant oil, it will be easy for them to have a certain voice in the international arena.

Since it is impossible to become strong, those countries need to find backers. With the support of a backer behind them and by sharing some interests with the backer, they can develop peacefully. Similarly, the same goes for those reactionary organizations. They are all puppets and tools, puppets and tools cultivated by others in order to gain benefits for themselves.

In his previous life, Lu Shaohua still remembered that a current affairs commentator said that the relationship between countries was like that between two children. Once they encountered something that was beneficial to themselves, even the best friends would turn against each other and fight each other fiercely.

After that, the war subsided and the winner was decided, and the two would not speak to each other for a while. In some serious cases, they would even stop communicating and enter the Cold War era. Then, they would find an opportunity to restore their relationship and become close friends again. However, if issues concerning interests arise again, they would make the same mistakes again and fall out with each other and enter the Cold War era again.

It goes on and on, in a cycle of reconciliation and peace. It is no different from a fight between two kids. What is most involved here is interests. Everything is caused by interests and is the result of interests.

So what is the relationship between oil fields and countries?

On the surface, it seems that there is no connection, but is there a real connection? The answer is definitely yes. They all have one thing in common, that is, interests, and this interest is oil. Lu Shaohua's goal is the same as others, his goal is also oil.

However, Lu Shaohua's approach was different from those countries. He traded money or weapons with others in exchange for money or oil. He did not think about controlling or supporting an organization or a government.

The problem lies here. It is because Lu Shaohua did not want to control or support an organization or government in the Middle East that the problem arises. You know, oil is not like a finished product that can be moved away immediately.

Oil is something buried underground, and it takes a lot of processes to get it up. Therefore, even if the oil is bought, it will take a long time to develop before it can officially belong to Lu Shaohua.

Therefore, this period of development becomes a variable, a variable that threatens the right to oil development. If the reactionary organization does not disband, the transaction will still exist. But if the organization disbands, whether the transaction exists or not will depend on the decision of the winning party.

Lu Shaohua was worried about this, and coupled with his dislike for the American style of doing things, he was worried about the oil field. However, worrying does not mean being afraid. The Tiger Roar Base now has a large number of advanced military equipment. If there is no other way, Lu Shaohua really doesn't mind opening fire and participating in the war. Of course, Lu Shaohua's principle of doing things is to make peace and make a fortune in silence. Starting a war is the worst option. He will not order the base to open fire unless it is absolutely necessary.

"We have considered this, but in the end we all believe that the Americans will not give up this organization because the organization itself is very powerful. Even if it fails, it will only weaken their strength." Li Zhijie said seriously.

"Ah!" Lu Shaohua sighed. If Lu Shaohua were to do this, he would not make a deal with such a reactionary organization. However, now that Li Zhijie and his team have made a deal with them, Lu Shaohua naturally would not say anything. "How about this, after the order is submitted, we will immediately organize people to develop the oil field, as soon as possible."

"Understood." Li Zhijie responded confidently.

Xie Jianwei also nodded to show that he understood.

"Well, there is one more thing we need to be careful of. Reactionary organizations are reactionary organizations after all, especially those on the battlefield in the Middle East. You cannot reason with them. You need to be careful of them changing their minds, or you will end up losing both the wife and the army." Lu Shaohua did not forget to give him a reminder.

"Haha!" Li Zhijie laughed, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, and continued, "You can rest assured about this. The other party knows our background, knows that we are the world's number one Tiger Roar Mercenary Group, and now we are the largest arms dealer. Even if they have ten guts, they would not dare to take our weapons or not give us our oil fields."

The Tiger Roar Mercenary Group had defeated several nearby mercenary groups and incorporated two more last time, becoming the world's number one mercenary group. In addition to smuggling arms, it has become an internationally renowned force and not just anyone can bully it.

"Being careful can save you a lot of time." Lu Shaohua said in a heavy tone.

Lu Shaohua was sounding the alarm for Li Zhijie. He didn't want to see a proud and conceited Li Zhijie, but hoped to see a steady and clear-headed Li Zhijie. Only in this way could he feel at ease to hand over the Tiger Roar Base to them for joint management.

After hearing what Lu Shaohua said, Li Zhijie's heart skipped a beat. He knew that he was a little too proud of himself. He scratched his head, feeling very embarrassed, and did not say anything.

In response, Lu Shaohua smiled, shook his head, and continued, "Of course, I'm just in case. If something really happens, we don't need to reason with them. They have the support of the United States behind them. We don't fight them. We can provide weapons and equipment to the Saudi Arabian government for free and let the Saudi Arabian government deal with them."

It’s free, it’s free, Lu Shaohua is not wrong.

But these words sounded strange to Li Zhijie and his friends, who wondered if they had heard wrongly. Having followed Lu Shaohua for so long, they thought they knew him very well. However, the usually profit-conscious Lu Shaohua wanted to provide weapons for free to fight against an organization, which made Li Zhijie and his friends unbelievable.

"Don't look at me like that." Lu Shaohua shook his head, smiled bitterly, and then explained, "We can provide weapons and equipment for free to the government army to eliminate the untrustworthy customers, but have you ever thought about it? With our current reputation, would they dare to use our weapons and equipment without giving us any benefits?"

Lu Shaohua has a long-term vision and he is considering the future. If the government army dares to accept the weapons and equipment provided by Hu Xiao for free, it will officially open a window for Hu Xiao. If they win, Lu Shaohua can guarantee that the government army will not treat the Hu Xiao mercenary group unfairly.

The reason is very simple, because of the reputation of the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group, a world-ranked mercenary group and a super-large arms dealer, not everyone is willing to offend, so there must be benefits.

It is undeniable that what Lu Shaohua said made a lot of sense. Li Zhijie and Xie Jianwei both nodded to show that they understood. At the same time, Li Zhijie and Xie Jianwei also had a clear idea in their minds and knew what to do next.

"Well, I still say the same thing. You guys will take care of Huxiao. I won't interfere." Lu Shaohua explained his position and then said, "My approach is the same as before. I will do whatever it takes to achieve my goal. Of course, there is a prerequisite, which is to use your brain and have a long-term vision before taking action."

"understood."

"clear."

Li Zhijie and Xie Jianwei said in unison.

"That's it, if you don't have anything else to do, go to bed early." After saying that, Lu Shaohua stood up from the chair and prepared to leave the main control room, but before he could lift his feet, Lu Shaohua stopped again, turned around, and said, "You guys sort out our oil field data first, I understand that I will take a look at the results during this period."

"Ok."
