Firepower is king

It was almost twelve o'clock in the evening, and the video conference was finally held.

To Gao Guang's surprise, no one from the shooting club was absent, and they all appeared on the screen on time.

It is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to provide help in times of crisis. When the situation is good, scenes of unity are easy to appear, but when difficulties arise, it is really rare for people to be able to gather together like this.

People who can get to a very high level don't care about face. Sorry, this kind of thing cannot exist at all. Reflexing is the most basic way to survive. So, if there are still people in the shooting club, then It shows that the centripetal force of this organization is still good, and everyone feels that the situation is not so bad.

The first person to speak was Lloyd. He looked a little haggard. He was still wearing a military uniform, but the collar of his shirt had been unbuttoned.

"I found a lot of people to find out what happened, but there was no effective information. Everyone was as shocked and puzzled as me, because according to common sense, this should not happen, so I personally I contacted Mark Esper and he promised me personally, but Mark also didn’t understand what happened.”

Mark Esper is the United States Secretary of Defense.

Lloyd paused for a moment, and then he continued: "Mark Esper is the main person I am looking for for a job this time. In total, I gave him at least fifty million U.S. dollars! Then I gave him to the Joint Chiefs of Staff About nine people sent $120 million, $15 million to the secretary of the Army, and finally, I gave $42 million to the president through White House Chief of Staff Raines. "

Almost 230 million were spent like this. For the first time, Lloyd disclosed what he spent the money on.

Still no one spoke, Lloyd said softly: "The president asked Raines to tell me that I will definitely get the position of commander in Europe, but I still need to rule out all other problems first, and finally find Raines." , asked him why I suddenly lost my position."

Lloyd leaned back, stretched out his hand and tugged on his collar, and said with a deep expression: "Raines told me that just this afternoon, Air Force General Fokker was recommended as a candidate, and then, They sent $400 million directly to the president, $400 million, directly to the president!”

Everyone showed an expression of sudden realization. Only Tom sighed. He spread his hands and made an extremely puzzled expression and said: "How did you know such secret information?"

Lloyd whispered: "Because Raines went to ask the president, and the president told him directly. The president said that 400 million US dollars were given directly to his family foundation in the name of charitable donations. Obviously, that Bian is more sincere, so he must give the position to Falk."

Tom found it incredible, because no one would tell others such secret news so simply and easily, but then again, if it was a businessman president, it seemed obvious

Very normal.

Raymond whispered: "Our President is originally a businessman. In his view, handing the contract to the party with the higher price is a very normal and reasonable choice. He will never think there is anything wrong with doing so. It is his normal behavior to betray his partners and litigate with them, so although it sounds unbelievable, this should be the truth.”

According to Gao Guang's understanding, Lloyd used money to pave the way and open up all the joints from bottom to top, but they didn't do that. They gave the money directly to the president, so Lloyd's duck flew away again, Because the businessman president of the United States is famous for his betrayal, and he is even more famous for being unjust for profit.

What's more, there is no sense of justice in this whole thing. It's all about exchange of interests. The crux of the problem was found, it was very simple, but there was no way to solve it.

In terms of Gao Guang's current strength and ability, he is not suitable to solve the problems he is facing now, because this is a completely different world and not a gameplay at all.

Gao Guang whispered: "What can we do?"

The video conference was quiet because no one knew what to do.

Gao Guang continued: "Either continue to make money and feed Donte, is that okay?"

Lloyd shook his head and whispered: "Forget it, this person is not trustworthy. We gave more money to rob the commander in Europe, but within a few days, they gave more money and robbed him back. , never ending.”

It lost the competition in the superstructure, but in the head-to-head competition below, Gaoguang won them all.

In Poland and Ethiopia, every time it ended with a high-profile victory over the opponent, but as long as they grabbed the position of commander in Europe, all previous victories would be meaningless.

Jane suddenly said: "Maybe it's not all bad. What if our businessman doesn't get his second term? There are only half a year left. Being too close to that businessman may not be a good thing."

As for the situation in the United States, the whole world knows what is going on.

It is unbelievable that a very wealthy businessman became the president of the United States. However, while in office, this businessman defied the sky and the earth, and successfully threw the United States into chaos.

Jane didn't know the idiom "a blessing in disguise", but she felt that Gao Guang's explanation made sense.

What is good now may not be good in the future. Failure now may be the basis for victory in the future.

It is impossible to kill Fokker. Although Gao Guang has the convenience of Otto, if he does this, it will break the most basic rules. When the time comes, he will take Lloyd along with Gao Guang.

And the entire shooting club, let's all bury Fokker with him.

If you cannot break the basic rules, you will have to find another way.

Lloyd had already thought about it carefully, and he whispered: "I got the position of military advisor. Now I can resign and do something in this position. I feel that I should stand on the other side."

The position of military adviser is a consolation prize given by a businessman president. Lloyd can resign in a few days. However, if Lloyd can serve a businessman's competitor in this actually critical position, that is, If you are a young man and take the initiative to serve, you should be able to get a good reward.

Businessman President Donte went back on his word and successfully created an enemy for himself.

At this time, Jane suddenly said: "I think maybe this military adviser's position will not last long. Although a businessman likes to mess around, he is not stupid. He will not trust you, so he will probably leave you idle. Or you will be dismissed after a short period of time.”

Lloyd nodded, and then he whispered: "But I also have an advantage in this position, that is, I will work in the White House. If we can deliver enough benefits to him, then he will be reluctant to remove me."

Raymond also whispered: "Yes, businessmen are very realistic. Although they gave a large donation to Mr. President, they will not be able to continue to give money in the future. Although we have lost this position, we can definitely do it in the future." Establishing a long-term benefit transfer relationship, that is to say”

Lloyd looked at the highlight on the screen and whispered: "The mad dog will get the direct support of the president." What is this, is there something lost and something gained?

The current issue was beyond Gaoguang's control, so he didn't say anything. But think about it, what if we lose the convenience in Europe but can make up for it elsewhere?

Jane and Gao Guang appeared on the same screen. She turned her head to look at Gao Guang and suddenly said: "I don't think we should keep too close contact with businessmen. Even if this will lead to very difficult situations in the short term, in the long run It’s still beneficial to look at it, so I think the best thing to do is to hibernate and wait.”

Of course I'm very angry about being fooled, but from the perspective of practical interests, I can't afford the result of being angry and angry.

If you can't afford it, you can only compromise and see if you can make up for the losses in other ways, or even gain greater benefits. This is called waiting for the changes to come.

Lloyd wanted to be a walleye, and Raymond wanted the same thing, because this way he could please both sides, avoid suffering heavy losses in the short term, and even have the opportunity to make big profits.

Jane is the most concerned about Gao Guang among these people, so she hopes that Gao Guang can temporarily give in and lie dormant, waiting for the opportunity to be favorable before rejoining the competition, because this is the safest way.

complete.

Gao Guang actually doesn't know what to do rightly, but he understands one truth, that is, life is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat.

Once the market is lost, it is difficult to get it back.

The situation is not very favorable now. It is already difficult to go further, but we cannot keep retreating, so we should at least find an anchor to stabilize our boat. Even if we cannot move forward in the rapids, we cannot be swept away by the water. A thousand miles away.

Gao Guang thought for a long time, and then he finally said: "I think it is better to be stable. I will continue to do business outside, but avoid direct competition with them, especially direct confrontation. I can make concessions when necessary. Part of the European supply can be Let it go, but the market cannot be lost, or we will have to find new sources of goods.”

Poland may not be able to keep it, and we need to be mentally prepared for this, but we must not lose the market that has been opened. This is the bottom line.

Lloyd nodded and said: "They will definitely talk to me over there. Let's see what conditions they propose. I will be working in the White House during this period. They should not go too far. Therefore, I will keep my position as military advisor." It’s the best choice right now.”

Raymond nodded, but he whispered: "It only takes half a year at most, it won't be too long. After the situation is clear, we can choose sides, so it is still very important not to be labeled as a hard-core businessman now." important."

Lloyd nodded and said, "I know, I will pay attention."

After finishing speaking, Lloyd looked at his watch and whispered: "This meeting will end here. During this time, everyone should be more vigilant. If there are any new developments or changes, I will notify everyone in time."

The screens went black one by one. Gao Guang closed the laptop and whispered to Jane: "Master Wife, what do you think?"

Jane lit a cigarette, took a puff, and then said gloomily: "We are all people hiding behind the scenes. Even if something happens, we will not face direct danger, and you are the one doing things in front. Little Otto, if you refuse to retreat, you will be in danger in the future. "

Lloyd became the commander in Europe, and Gao Guang was the underground king of Europe. Now that Lloyd has lost this position, Gao Guang has to continue to work hard, but everything Gao Guang has was not given by others, and he has lost the opportunity to reach the sky in one step, but Just keep fighting step by step.

To put it bluntly, Gao Guang cannot sit back and enjoy his success. After all, his own empire must be built by himself to be stable.

Gao Guang sighed softly, patted his thigh gently and said: "Everything I have now is obtained by fighting. If I want to get more, I have to fight for it and fight for it."

Gao Guang had this realization, and Jane couldn't say anything. She just looked at Gao Guang worriedly, and after a long silence, she finally said: "Be careful in everything from now on!"
