From arms dealer to king of war

Qiao Jia was completely stunned by Devali's 'invitation'...

This should be done in a formal setting. Countries that do not have a seat on the United Nations Security Council are not worthy of hearing what Devali said.

Where is that place in Yemen?

People who don’t pay attention to Yemen can’t imagine how bad it is there!

Since the war began in 2014, the people of Yemen have been in dire straits.

According to Yemen's own statistics, more than 300,000 people have died in Yemen since the war began, and nearly 80,000 children have died from hunger and disease.

Medical facilities there have been basically destroyed, and 2.6 million children are chronically malnourished.

If we add up the children who died from war, hunger, and disease, starting from 2014, one child will die every hour on average in Yemen.

When the Americans beat the Afghans, they also imported grain from across the country in an attempt to win people's hearts.

It's just that they don't have the motivation to go deep into the grassroots, nor the determination to completely change the living conditions of the Afghan people.

In addition, the thousands of warlord tribes in the mountainous areas of Aqionghan were too tenacious, which eventually led to the repeated growth of Ta LB.

Yemen is worse!

It seems like this group of people will not give up until their hometown is destroyed!

Yemen's oil production is not high, and it does not have strong geopolitical interests.

Ever since countries around the world leased military ports in Djibouti, the plan of the United States to strangle the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and control oil tanker activities has come to nothing.

In addition, the United States is a little busy looking after itself, so Europe and the United States are not willing to take another look at Yemen.

At first, the American arms group would still keep an eye on this place, asking Shah from time to time if they wanted something good?

But later, even the military-industrial complex felt that there was no profit here, and there was not much profit in the consumption of low-end arms.

The combat effectiveness of the Gulf coalition's princes is too poor. They want drones from the United States but are not willing to sell them to them.

Rather than spending time in this hopeless place, it is better to go to Afghanistan and work hard, and it is still very satisfying to eat from the defense budget.

Just like Somalia and Eritrea, Yemen is a hopeless country in the eyes of Europeans and Americans.

Most of Yemen is desert, with only some arable land in the western region near the Red Sea.

The oil reserves in the several oil fields they are exploiting are only 9 billion barrels, which is not as large as Boss Qiao's Rumaila oil field, and the output is even less.

As such, the Yemeni government still relies on oil revenue to maintain operations.

The only industry they had that was somewhat competitive in the past was the fishing industry along the coast, but once the war broke out, all fisheries came to a standstill.

This poor place has been used as a place of confrontation between the SY faction and the XN faction.

The only person who cares about Yemen may be the Shah, because Yemen borders them. Once Yemen is controlled by the Nazi faction, the Shah's butt will be unstable.

As long as they are two miles away from Yemen and have a country as a buffer, the Shah's princes probably don't want to pay attention to them.

The XN faction and the SY faction are indeed competing for the position of Arab leader, but in fact their core contradiction is not who is the boss, but the contradiction between "theocracy" and "the royal family."

How could this group of wealthy princes headed by the Shah accept the result of the "unity of politics and religion"?

In their eyes, the sovereign funds of various countries are actually equivalent to their private property.

I do believe in God, but if God wants to come down to earth to share power and interests with me, I cannot accept that.

What Devali said was a bit compassionate, as if he couldn't bear to see the war in Yemen continue.

Boss Qiao didn't dare to guess whether the prince's kindness was sincere, but he did hesitate a little.

It's not that he is addicted to doing good deeds, but that he has gained too many benefits that others cannot imagine by doing good deeds.

Saving lives will not be questioned!

And Boss Qiao’s location is great!

With the examples of Iraq and Syria, the Houthis will not regard him as an enemy, and the establishment of a "safe zone" will not encounter too many obstacles.

Establish a safe zone to shelter refugees, and then use funds from the United Nations and the Gulf Coalition to revitalize human resources and do some business in basic supplies.

Then we just have to endure it until Iran can no longer hold on and the Houthis cannot defeat it.

By then, his boss, Joe, had not only planted a flag in the Persian Gulf, but also planted a flag in the Gulf of Aden.

Boss Qiao does not feel that he has the ability to reconcile the conflicts between the two parties, let alone the Shah and Iran, even the Yemeni government and the Houthi armed forces.

But this doesn't matter to Boss Qiao at all. Since the establishment of P·B, what he has been selling is security and development, and his target is actually civilians.

Now that neither the Yemeni government nor the Houthi armed forces have the ability to take care of their own civilians, if Boss Qiao intervenes with external funds and does not participate in their political issues, they have nothing to say.

Boss Qiao has already tasted the sweetness of 'influence', and now Devali proposes that they pay for it and let P·B go out and do good things...

Qiao Jia couldn't think of any reason why he should refuse?

Now that we have developed to this stage, we cannot refuse this kind of opportunity that comes to our door.

There is a saying that sailing against the current will not only lead to retreat, but the same principle applies to P·B.

PB's industries in Libya and Iraq seem to be in full swing, but in fact, as time goes by, the situation in the two places has become stable, and PB's influence has been slowly fading.

The good thing is that after the influence subsides to a certain extent, it stabilizes and combines with the local people to become a long-term influence.

Needless to say, the bad situation goes without saying, and Boss Qiao himself has no intention of fighting in these two places.

The revenue generated by these two places every year is astronomical!

If Boss Qiao wants to extend this income, the best way is not to go to war with the locals, but to increase his influence through side effects and make P·B's image deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Every time you do something good, P·B's image will rise by one point, and its influence will increase by one point.

The chaos in the Arab region has given Boss Qiao too many benefits.

And because P·B is a private company, it has no essential conflict with any Arab regime.

As long as the company's image is completely established among the Arab people, the company's life span in Libya and Iraq can actually be extended.

If Boss Qiao wants to maintain two money bags, he must keep moving forward!

This is his responsibility as a leader!

Choose the right enemy for your soldiers!

Choose the right goals for your company!

Doing something positive for the world, even if it only changes a little, is worth it!

If we continue on this path, even if P·B collapses in the end, people all over the world will remember that there was once a great company that did its part for the world!

Devali hit Boss Joe's needs by accident. How could Boss Qiao refuse?

The only thing that makes Boss Qiao feel embarrassed now is P·B's lack of manpower!

At least the safe zone in Syria is backed by local Kurdish militias. What does Yemen have?

Those militiamen who chewed chuck grass to fight, he wouldn't dare to use it even if they begged him!

Seeing the sincere look on Devali's face, Qiao Jia thought for a long time, finally looked at the prince and said seriously: "I can't withstand such great pressure alone, what can you give me?"

Devali saw that Boss Qiao actually relaxed, and he said in surprise: "We can provide anything you want!

Money, arms and even soldiers..."

As he spoke, Devali looked at Qiao Jia and frowned slightly, and he quickly said: "Jackal, I know this matter is very difficult to handle!

But among the people I know, you seem to be the only one who has experience in this area.

Please believe in our sincerity. As long as you agree, there is no upper limit to our support for you. "

Qiao Jia knew very well that the so-called 'no upper limit' was just bullshit. He waved his hand and said: "Give me a number, and then I can decide to what extent I will intervene?"

As he spoke, Qiaojia stood up and said: "Give me a number so I can decide whether to enter as a humanitarian gesture, or simply take over Muradin, an important city in south-central Yemen, and use it as an entry point to fight against Al Qaeda.

I cannot reach the key areas in western Yemen, and it is impossible for me to start a war with the Houthis.

But as long as al-Qaeda's people are eliminated and P.B. establishes itself as a safe zone in Muradin, the pressure on the Yemeni government can actually be relieved.

As long as I capture Muradin, I can radiate my influence northward and make those places as stable as possible.

If I help you deal with the constant harassment of Al Qaeda and you still can't promote peace through war, then that's your problem! "

When Boss Qiao spoke, the domineering nature that naturally arose in him made Devali subconsciously lean back a few degrees...

When his back touched the back of the sofa, Devali realized that he seemed to have lost his composure.

Seeing Qiao Jia looking at him with a very serious expression, Devali supported the armrests of the sofa with both hands to stand up.

He tried hard to look directly into Boss Qiao's eyes, but whenever their eyes came into contact, he would subconsciously avoid them.

Boss Joe's unashamed confidence and domineering attitude made Devali feel that he should trust him.

Facing Boss Qiao’s question, Devali clenched his fists to muster up the courage to look directly into Boss Qiao’s eyes. After deliberately staying for a few seconds, he said: “We can provide 8 billion U.S. dollars in initial start-up capital, and we can do it at the United Nations. Lobbying at conventions.

We understand your need for legality, and we will unconditionally cooperate with you in the construction of a safe zone.

If you need anything else, just tell me directly and I can go back and work hard for it!

Jackals, we are not the kind of cold-blooded animals who watch our brotherly countries in dire straits but remain indifferent.

We would love to do a lot if we could stop the war! "

Qiaojia looked at Devali and shook his head without saying anything. Shah's so-called "efforts" must include destroying the Houthi armed forces.

It's a pity that these prince soldiers are really picky and aggressive, which leads to the situation where the Yemeni people are miserable.

In fact, if either Yemeni side wins, the situation will not be like now.

This is the tragedy of a small country caught in the game between big powers!

It’s just that the battlefield of the game between the Shah and Iran is in Yemen, and the people who died are Yemenis!

Seeing Devali's firm expression, Qiao Jia stretched out his hand to him, shook his hand hard, and said: "You convinced me!

However, detailed negotiations are still needed on how to act. 8 billion is definitely not enough.

I need to do some preliminary preparation and tell you what else I need!

Your Highness, I generally do not disappoint my collaborators, and I also hope that you will not disappoint me!

If you really have good intentions towards Yemen, then don’t be stingy and use all your good intentions..."
