From arms dealer to king of war

As soon as Said saw Al Thani's appearance, he stood up and wanted to leave...

Qiao Jia shook his head and grabbed Said with a smile, and said: "Sit down, we are all friends, is there anything we can't 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 agreement with Qiao Jia's words. He walked to the wine cabinet, unexpectedly picked up a bottle of whiskey, poured a full glass and drank it...

Then, under Boss Qiao's strange gaze, the prince sat on the sofa next to him and said: "I conveyed your proposal back...

The Qatari royal family still needs to do some investigation and evaluation, but I don’t think the Shah will give us much time to think about it. "

Qiao Jia nodded slightly after hearing this. Al Thani still has a bit of political mind.

There is no psychological barrier for the Shah to pull allies to sever diplomatic relations with Qatar and kick Qatar out of the GCC.

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

The first, of course, is to fall out directly. The Shah clings to his position as leader of the GCC, kicks out the emerging wealthy Qatar, and completely isolates him.

The second type is what I talked about before. After I kicked you out, everyone said that they would not deal with you, but if 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, and the only difference is how much compensation Qatar, as the wronged party, can get, while also avoiding being wiped out by the Shah in the end.

When Boss Qiao proposed this method, Shah, who had the initiative and core interests, would definitely promote the implementation of this plan.

This is the source of Al Thani’s anxiety!

Without sufficient guarantees, once Qatar is kicked out of the GCC, it will immediately fall into siege. Who wouldn't be afraid of this?

Seeing Al Thani's anxious look, Qiaojia smiled and said: "Then what do you think?

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

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

After hearing this, Al Thani shook his head slightly and said: “The conflict between us and the Shah is very deep, and in some places it is almost impossible to reconcile.

Even if you don't mention it, they will kick us out once the Shah has enough power.

In fact, one thing you suggest is right. If Qatar wants to seek influence, it cannot act in the shadow of the Shah. This will not only make the Shah dissatisfied, but also undermine our efforts.

If we do what you say, it will actually be the best for us, because only by jumping out of the original framework can we seek influence.

The only question now is how to ensure that Shah abides by his agreement? "

Qiao Jia looked at Al Thani, who had been staring at him, and he said a little helplessly: "What can I do for you?"

Al Thani looked into Choga's eyes and said extremely seriously: "The American garrison in our country is unreliable, and the British promise is only in words.

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

This force does not need to go to the frontal battlefield. It only needs to be able to push back forcefully when we face probing attacks. "

After hearing this, Qiao Jia pointed to his nose and said, "Me? You want me to send someone?"

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

As long as you are willing to send people over, we will provide you with a four-year, US$4 billion contract! "

As he spoke, Al Thani looked into Joga's eyes and said, "Jackal, it was you who told Shah's Devali the suggestion. You have to help me!"

After hearing this, Qiao Jia said helplessly: "Four billion is a big number, but do you think it's worth the 1 billion you spend every year if I send a few special forces there?"

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

But you can!

It was your suggestion to the Shah, and for the benefit of the oil alliance, they must support you.

And your influence in Iraq is enough to prevent Kuwait from making any moves. "

As he spoke, Al Thani glanced at Said, and then said in a deep voice: "You and Tahnouni are friends, and you and Said are collaborators, then the UAE will not cause trouble for you.

The only one left is Bahrain...

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

If you are willing to open up investment in the Princess Royal Maritime Guards and expand the escort route to the Persian Gulf...

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

As long as we unite, we can make Bahrain afraid to act rashly! "

After hearing this, Qiaojia looked at Al Thani as if he were a ghost and said, "Are you going to spend 10 billion US dollars to buy insurance from me?"

As he spoke, Qiaojia watched Said wave his hands quietly 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 be concerned about. Are you short of money?

And I won't agree to it!

Just wanting to build a navy with 6 billion is simply a fantasy. My core territory is in Central Africa, and the output here cannot support a fleet.

The maritime sphere of influence has been defined for many years, and this is not something I can shake.

Just relying on escorts to survive, the fleet is an asset that continues to depreciate!

My current Hamilton-class and three Seahawk-43s are just enough. If there are more, I won't be able to survive. "

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

Qiao Jia looked at Al Thani with a smile and said, "Why don't you do it yourself if it's so simple?

You want to bring me down and use me to increase your naval strength, so that you can not only bypass the attention of the United States but also avoid the constraints of surrounding countries.

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

Man, I think of you as a friend and I'm happy to help you, but you can't make me do something I can't do. "

Upon hearing this, Al Thani nodded slightly ashamed and said: "You are right, we ask too much!

But you understand our concerns, right?

Jackal, you can put the navy matter aside for a while, but the security contract..."

Qiao Jia smiled after hearing this...

Just kidding, 4 billion for four years, what kind of contract is this?

If the old U.S. military industrial complex didn't want more, the 7,000 U.S. troops stationed in Qatar would be willing to go through fire and water for the money.

As for Boss Joe, as long as Big Mouth Don is in office and Steven is still Secretary of State, he can exert pressure through the United States to prevent the Shah from causing trouble with Qatar.

There are no obstacles to this, because the split of the GCC is what the United States itself wants to see.

They only wanted division and did not want to see the Shah grow stronger.

Boss Qiao knew this very well, but Al Thani and the people behind him did not dare to take risks because the price was too high!

The 4 billion in Qatar is not so much an employment contract, but rather a lobbying fee handed over to Boss Qiao.

Of course, this money is time-limited, and it is based on Dazuitang's term of office and subsequent conditions.

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

Just like Said said, at this point, if you don't want their money, they will not feel at ease.

Nodding in agreement with Al Thani's request, Qiaojia stretched out his hand toward Al Thani, who was still not completely reassured, and said: "We have a deal, I will send several special operations teams to Qatar, and by the way, I will help you train some special operations elites!

I provide additional additional services. Is it not too much for you to lend me a base for transport planes to take off and land? "

As he spoke, Qiaojia looked at Al Thani, who nodded but still had worries in his eyes. He smiled and shook his head and said, "Aren't you just worried that the Shah will go back on his word in a few years and completely isolate you, or even swallow you up?" Drop you?

I am short of a luxury private jet. If you are willing to pay the bill, I will give you an idea.

I guarantee that as long as you don’t mess around, there will be no problems with the Qatari regime in 30 years. "

Upon hearing this, Al Thani stood up and said: "I ordered a Bombardier Global 8000, which will be delivered in two months.

Jackal, you are about to have a son, and this plane is for you.

I also have a Riva yacht, which I only used once, so I’ll give it to you!

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

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

There's a lot of emphasis here. If it's a transaction, it won't taste 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, Qiauga stood up and poured him a glass of 'juice', and then said with a smile: "You know, I understood the logic of realizing influence very early on.

But I have only recently thoroughly understood the core value of ‘money’! "

As he spoke, Joga looked at Al Thani's curious look and said with a smile: "Those green papers can not only buy valuable assets for appreciation and hedging, they can also buy influence, and they are so huge that no one can ignore them. influence!"

Upon hearing this, Al Thani frowned and said, "Are you telling us to increase arms purchases and seek U.S. protection for us?"

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

You won’t use military strength to make profits. No matter how much you buy, you will just get a group of assets that continue to depreciate.

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

After hearing this, Al Thani said helplessly: "Jackal, stop beating around the bush..."
