From arms dealer to king of war

Niger, Agadez province.

Choga piloted a blue Piper-42 and entered Niger from the direction of Chad. After crossing a large area of ​​desert, he landed at an airport surrounded by desert.

Following the guidance of the tower, it taxied for a certain distance on the runway, and finally slowly stopped next to a hangar.

Taking off his sunglasses, he saw a middle-aged man in military uniform, surrounded by a group of soldiers with live ammunition, standing in the shadow of the hangar. Qiao Jia smiled at Nice in the co-pilot and said: "Let's go down..."

As he spoke, Qiaojia looked at Nice and took out a headscarf. He shook his head and said, "You don't have to wear it if you don't want to. This is just an MSL country, but it's not Guantanamo, and it's not the territory of Isis."

After hearing this, Nice shook his head slightly and said, "I am also an MSL. I am used to it. He is your important customer. There is no need to make unnecessary provocations."

Qiao Jia nodded indifferently, then looked back at Ayou who had stood up in the cabin but could only bend his waist. He said with a smile: "I bet no one dares to look fierce because Ayou is not wearing a headscarf." , Huh? Do you think this is discrimination?"

Nice smiled and did not respond to Qiao Jia's joke. Instead, he straightened his combat uniform and checked his pistol.

Dorian, who was more armed than a seal, stood next to the hatch. Seeing Qiao Jia nodding to himself, he pushed the hatch open forcefully, and then released the escalator.

When Dorian, Ayew, Kaman, Antal, and Nice got off the plane first, the soldiers waiting in the hangar became nervous. Several tall black bodyguards protected Defense Minister Lionel. In the middle, his hand was on the butt of the pistol.

Dorian's looks are indeed quite scary, and they are scary expensive...

The night vision goggles and pickup headsets on their helmets alone are more expensive than the combined belongings of any soldier here.

Qiao Jia was not dressed up in an exaggerated manner. His equipment was shared among several people, so he only had a simple desert camouflage set and a pistol.

Seeing Leonor in the center protected by the crowd from a distance, Joga smiled and pulled out the M9 and handed it to Nice beside him, and then waved to the lawyer Jory Amon who had no sense of presence behind him. , walked towards the crowd.

When approaching the edge of the encirclement, Joga said with a smile: "Minister Leonor, please forgive me for being cautious. We have communicated on the phone."

Lionel confirmed Qiao Jia's identity. He patted the bodyguard on the shoulder, took the initiative to go out and shook Qiao Jia's hand, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that we have a common enemy!

Jackal, Mary has talked to me a lot about you, and I think we have a lot to work with. "

Choga nodded and said: "Terrorist organizations like Boko Haram should not exist. These beasts who like to kidnap schoolgirls are the enemies of all mankind.

Although they are not my main enemies, I will still be happy if my actions can help you. "

Qiao Jia took out a piece of paper and stuffed it into Lionel's hand, and said softly: "Swiss bank bearer account, I guarantee that the money is clean, you can withdraw it at any time."

Lionel looked at the series of numbers on the note. He beckoned a man in a suit to come over, handed him the note and asked him to check it. Then he greeted Qiao Jia warmly and said, "I'm ready inside." Drinks, the news you brought me is a bit sudden, so I can only entertain you in this place.

We have stepped up our offensive in recent days and achieved considerable results.

However, Boko Haram attacked a nearby town yesterday and kidnapped 40 schoolgirls. The Outlaw Legion members stood firm in their camps and were unwilling to help.

I heard Mary mention P·B Company's record, so I decided to add a clause to the contract you asked me to prepare. I hope you won't mind. "

As he spoke, Lionel looked at Qiao Jia's slightly frowned brows, and said with a smile: "In return for helping our allies, I can decide on an additional arms order of 15 million yuan.

The assistance promised by France will be lost before they finish the meeting, so I can still make the decision on this matter.

I hope you understand my difficulty. I have been under a lot of pressure recently. If we cannot rescue all 40 students, our previous results will be greatly reduced, so I added this clause to the military contract.

In fact, if possible, I hope that P·B Company can stay here for a longer period of time instead of just accepting two tasks to fight against terrorists.

If you agree, this contract can be adjusted a little, and the symbolic 1 million can be turned into 10 million or even 20 million. "

When a defense minister says something like this, it proves that he is really under great pressure.

And Joga estimates that if Minister Leonor cannot quickly quell the domestic unrest, he will not be far from stepping down.

Of course, the idea that this guy is placing additional orders and hiring at high prices may also be because he wants to make a final profit.

It's a pity that the fighting in Central Africa is still going on, and Qiao Jia has no way to mobilize enough people to come, otherwise the money is still worth earning.

Now he can only try to help and see if he can try to rescue the kidnapped students after his own affairs are completed.

In this way, maybe the pressure on Lionel's minister can be reduced. Of course, it is more convenient to do business with acquaintances. The additional order of 15 million is actually quite delicious. It is of course best not to miss it.

When the two were talking, people on both sides naturally lowered their guard and stood together, completely blocking the hangar door.

Jorgia followed Lionel to the depths of the hangar and saw two long tables covered with red velvet prepared there, with tea, coffee, cocoa and a mixed alcoholic drink placed on them.

There were two contracts placed on another table, and an old black man with gray hair on his temples sat in the middle.

Lionel motioned to Joga for a drink and received a reply that he would not use it for the time being. He pointed at the old man and said: "This is Niger's liaison officer to the African Union. After we complete the signing, he will bring this The contract was flown to the African Union headquarters in Addis Ababa for registration.”

As he spoke, Lionel shook his head and said with a smile: "Jackal, I don't know why you have such a request, but I like your attitude in doing things, because people who are willing to take the initiative to increase restraints on themselves must be people who keep their word. .”

Choga took the initiative to shake hands with the old man and say hello, and learned that the other man's name was Moussa Saidi, and he was actually a member of the Pan-African Parliament, which is the legislative and supervisory body of the African Union.

Qiao Jia smiled and exchanged business cards with the other party, and then motioned to the lawyer Qory Amon, who had always thought that he was invisible, to come forward...

"See if there are any problems with the contract? If not, you will fly to Ethiopia with this old Mr. Saidi later."

Qiaoli Amon nodded solemnly, walked up to Saidi, shook hands with him, and introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Qiaoli Amon. I am now P.B.'s lawyer in Africa. I am very happy. Nice to meet you Mr. Saidi."

Saidi looked at Jori Amon, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and said: "I have seen you. You were once a troublesome civil rights lawyer. It was you who helped Yusuf of Mali complete his presidential campaign. .”

Qiao Li Amon forced a smile on his face and said: "Strictly speaking, it is actually a coup, and you should know what happened next...

Sir, the democratic process in Afika is not as smooth as outsiders imagine, and the African Union needs to make more efforts in this regard.

The best thing to do is to invite more people like my boss to come. What he is doing in Central Africa is something that has never happened in the history of Afika.

Things are changing there, and this time can be shortened as long as the AU can provide sufficient support. "

Saidi seemed to appreciate Qiaoli Amon very much. He smiled and patted Qiaoli on the shoulder and said: "Of course, I have heard something. If you encounter obstacles in Addis Ababa, I’d love to help.”

Sayidi glanced at Qiao Jia and said with a smile: "I am willing to provide guarantee for your loan plan. Of course, my personal power is relatively limited, and you may need to convince enough people yourself.

Jory is a good lobbyist and I will introduce him to some people. "

This Saidi spoke very tactfully, and Qiao Jia couldn't tell whether he was implying that he should give him some benefits.

At this time, the advantages of being a boss were revealed. Qiao Jia patted Qiao Li Amon on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Then listen to Mr. Saidi. No matter what the final result is, we must take good care of Mr. Saidi." .”

He pushed all the questions to Jory Amon, who was more familiar with Afica. When he was reviewing the contract, Qiaojia seemed to magic and took out two gold coins weighing about one ounce. The eagle badge was given as a gift to Lionel and Saidi.

Seeing the two people smiling, Qiao Jia said to Lionel: "The cargo will arrive at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. How are you people preparing?"

Lionel nodded and said: "Only one flight to Ethiopia will take off today, and I have arranged for people to block the airport.

When the time comes, everything will go according to your plan. I hope that this time we can knock out Boko Haram's main force in Niger and allow our country to stabilize. "

Qiao Jia is very dissatisfied with Lionel's desire to 'stabilize', but he is a businessman and cannot throw cold water on his clients.

Looking at the slightly heavy expression on Lionel's face, Joga said: "There are many reasons why terrorists are difficult to exterminate, but the most important thing is that their whereabouts are difficult to grasp.

In my personal opinion, there are obviously external forces supporting them now, so you should let them find a foothold, and after they have concentrated their strength, wipe them out at once.

I'm not sure if this will kill them all, but it's certainly better than having to fight them from town to town.

Every day that this kind of war continues is harmful to kind people!

They have it hard enough without having to suffer collateral damage from government forces. "

Lionel's eyes lit up when he heard this. What he really needs now is a complete strategic plan, even if it's not perfect, it doesn't matter.

If he wants to keep his current position, he can't direct the army like a headless fly like he is now.

Looking at Qiao Jia with a smile on his face, Lionel said with excitement: "This is a good idea, so will P·B be willing to help me when the time is right?"
