Firepower is king

Frankfurt.

After a long flight, they finally arrived in Frankfurt.

The United States has too many military bases in Germany, but most of them are concentrated in West Germany, and the Fifth Army is stationed in just a few places, so it is definitely right to go to Frankfurt first. As for the specific meeting place, wait until you arrive. It’s not too late to decide.

After making a phone call, the location was confirmed, and as expected it was in Heidelberg.

Heidelberg is the location of the U.S. Army Headquarters in Germany and the headquarters of the Fifth Army. It would not be surprising at all if Delen made an appointment with Gao Guang in this place.

Otto and Sara were resting in the hotel, and Gao Guang left all his men in the hotel.

Compared to Delen, Gao Guang was more afraid of something happening to Otto, so he gave everyone the order to keep Otto under guard and keep a close eye on him. As soon as he noticed anything unusual, he would immediately tell Sa La, then do whatever Sarah says, absolutely no need to be polite.

He spent most of his energy on how to guard against Otto. As for the negotiations, Gao Guang felt that he was almost certain.

Valentine's Day has no impact on the highlight at all. When the plane lands in Frankfurt, it will be February 12th local time. When the highlight reaches the jet lag, after waiting for one day, it will be the exciting moment of negotiation.

Whether we can open up Europe as a source of goods depends on whether we can capture Delenn.

Highlights with confidence.

There were three people involved in the negotiation, Gao Guang, Leon, and Riccardo, but Patrick had to go along. He was responsible for driving and acting as an interpreter when needed.

As for the others, they didn't even need to go, or even take preventive measures nearby, because the negotiation location was in a cafe at the front entrance of the Fifth Army's headquarters.

In this place, let’s not talk about whether Delen dares to play any tricks, but if Delen really dares to do anything, Gao Guang doesn’t dare to use a knife or a gun.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Gao Guang showed up at the reserved table on time, and also saw Delen who appeared at the seat on time.

He is not too tall. He looks to be in his fifties, which is a bit older than his actual age. The signs of weight gain in middle age are also very obvious. He is also in his forties and looks much younger and more capable than Delen.

"Hello, Mr. Swift."

Delen didn't get up, nor did he say too much. He just stretched out his hand to signal Gao Guang to sit down, and then didn't even mean to invite Gao Guang to drink a cup of coffee. He just said lightly: "Let your people leave, I don't like having extra people." Be present.”

Gao Guang waved his hand, Leon and Riccardo took a few steps and sat down at the empty table nearby.

Straight to the point without any unnecessary nonsense, Delen said without hesitation: "No matter what your relationship is with Mags, he threatened me and made me very angry, so I don't want to do business with you."

Gao Guang smiled and said: "Threats are just an opportunity for us to meet. In fact, I really don't want to use threats to do business. This kind of business will not last long and I don't like it."

The waiter stood next to their table and said in English: "What would you like to drink?"

Delen said expressionlessly: "A cup of American black coffee."

"Two drinks, please."

Gao Guang was still smiling, but after waiting for the waiter to leave, Delen said expressionlessly: "You don't need to invite me, I refuse."

It looked like he was talking about a cup of coffee, but in fact he was expressing his attitude, but Delen didn't dare to make it too obvious.

From the moment they met, Delen tried his best to show his resistance to highlights and rejection of cooperation, but this is meaningless. Either cooperate, or fall out, call people over, and then it's so neither salty nor cool. What's the point of talking nonsense?

Gao Guang smiled calmly and said, "Although I don't like threats, a threat is a threat, not a request, nor a begging. What do you think?"

Recognize the situation clearly and face the reality. Since it is coercion and inducement, the order cannot be reversed.

Sure enough, Delen is a person who takes hard work but not soft talk. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What does Xu want?"

"Big guns, 155mm cannons, but other than that, I'll take whatever you have."

Delen pursed his lips and then shook his head and said: "I'll give you what you need, and then don't come to me again. I have stable partners and mature shipping channels, and you, I don't know you, and I don't know you." I don’t trust you, so I’ll give you what you want this time, but just this time, do you agree?”

It would be bad to go back on one's promise. As long as you agree to Delen's conditions, you will be in trouble if you try to find him again in the future. But Gao Guang wants to cooperate in the long term and wants to turn Delen into a stable supplier.

There must be a mature and stable circle around Delen, and Gao Guang wants to squeeze into this circle, because after getting rid of the control of the Pentagon and the military-industrial complex, Gao Guang has lost a stable supplier.

So you might as well open your mouth and try to ask for a high price.

Gao Guang said lightly: First tell me how many cannons you can give me this time. "

Delen thought for a moment and said: "In another twenty days, an artillery battalion will be withdrawn and returned to China, and eighteen M777 ultra-light howitzers will be scrapped. There is already a buyer for these guns, but I can transfer them to you. But the number is only fourteen, at most fourteen."

"How much."

"Two hundred thousand guns, not including shells."

"How does it work?"

"This batch of cannons will be handed over to the Polish Army for free, but we can get the Polish Army to sign for it, but the cannons will be in your hands."

Two hundred thousand, a cabbage price, Gao Guang said without hesitation: "I will give you four hundred thousand for a gun, and we will cooperate for a long time."

Delen shook his head, and then he continued with a serious face: "This is just a transaction. I don't want to cooperate with you for a long time. I have my own partner. This time, my partner can accept giving up the cannon that I should have obtained." Give it to you, but they won’t tolerate it forever.”

Gao Guang took a deep breath.

Delen made a concession, but only one step. Gao Guang was not very satisfied, but now he could either continue to threaten or accept Delen's conditions.

Gao Guang thought for a while and finally said: "How about telling me who your partner is, and then I'll consider whether it's just this one deal."

Delen smiled, shook his head, and said firmly: "No."

There is no need to talk, but the cannon is worth it, but if this is the only transaction, Gao Guang wants more.

"Okay, 200,000 yuan per door, what else do you have? I'm in urgent need of hot goods right now. As long as you have it and the amount can satisfy me, then it's just this one deal and I won't look for you again in the future."

Delen thought for a while and said: "Radar, artillery radar, and six tanks."

We don’t need tanks, because tanks are also large-scale equipment that can be used in conjunction with the support array. The radar is also useless. It’s not that this thing is useless, but it’s expensive and requires a certain level of equipment and usage before it can be used. If the array refuses to be highlighted, it won't be sold.

Stocking up on goods is not an option. Gao Guang doesn’t have the strength or financial resources.

Retreating to the next best thing, Gao Guang continued: "Do you have any light weapons?"

Delen smiled, with a little disdain, and said: "We don't make light weapons. If you want rifle grenades, you shouldn't come to me."

The cannon only sold for 200,000 yuan, and one transaction was less than 3 million US dollars. Why is it so awesome?

But Gao Guang didn't say anything, he still smiled and said: "In addition to these, what else can I say that is valuable?"

Delen hesitated for a while and said: "Dow 2 anti-tank missiles, delivery time of three months, fifteen triangular launchers, and forty missiles, are they enough to satisfy you?"

"How much."

"Fifty thousand missiles per missile, including the price of the launcher."

"It's expensive."

Delen said calmly: "Can you buy it elsewhere?"

The cannons are cheap, the anti-tank missiles are expensive, but overall they do fit the bill.

Gao Guang didn't want to say anything anymore. He nodded and said: "Okay, I'll take it all. How to pay and how to receive the goods."

Delen was also unambiguous and said: "Wait for my notification, bring cash, pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. I can't tell you the delivery location now. You have to handle the transportation yourself. If you can do it, the deal will be done. If not, forget it."

"make a deal."

Gao Guang stretched out his hand, and Delen reached out to shake his hand, but the handshake was a bit reluctant.

The coffee was already served, and Gao Guang took two sips. He took out a fifty-euro note and pressed it under the cup. He smiled and said, "I bought the coffee. Goodbye."

I didn’t say that the cooperation was pleasant, because it was not pleasant in the first place. After Gao Guang stood up, Leon and Riccardo quickly followed.

The three of them left the cafe, and Leon whispered: "What, did the deal break down?"

Gao Guang sighed and said: "The negotiation didn't break down, but the negotiation wasn't good either. It was just a one-time deal, and there will be no next time."

Riccardo whispered: "There is a first time and a second time."

Shaking his head, Gao Guang waved his hand and said: "Forget it, let's go."

After beckoning, Patrick, who was parked not far away, drove the car over. Originally, the negotiation ended in an unsatisfactory way, but after the car had driven for two kilometers, he and Gao Guang were sitting in the back seat. Riccardo suddenly said: "Boss, we seem to be being followed."

Gao Guang was very surprised and said: "Following? Are you sure? The other party should not dare to do this."

Riccardo turned his head and looked back for a while, then he nodded and said, "I'm probably sure that I'm being followed. How about we give it a try? We'll see if we try."
