Shen Dong said in a deep voice, "Mahamud has close ties with the top Malaysian officials and holds a very high position in the government. Not only can you not touch him, you also have to maintain a good relationship with him. This guy is greedy by nature, and he is exactly the kind of partner we need most."

Chen Hui said, "Yes. I will go to see Mahmoud this afternoon and give him five million US dollars as a token of my gratitude."

Shen Dong hummed in agreement and said, "If you don't have enough money, you can just ask me for it. By the way, what's the situation with Ivanov? Is he going to give us heavy weapons or not?"

Chen Hui said, "Ivanov will be coming to Lank City in three days. I will have a good talk with him."

This battle made Chen Hui fully appreciate the power of armed helicopters.

Although he had previously captured twelve helicopters from the Lion Mercenaries, they were all ordinary helicopters. Even if they were to participate in the battle, the people inside would need to use shoulder-fired rockets to launch attacks on those below.

On a real battlefield, this type of attack would make the enemy an easy target.

Before you can even launch your rocket, the helicopter will probably be shot down by the enemy.

Therefore, Chen Hui is now extremely envious of armed helicopters.

Shen Dong said in a deep voice, "We don't have time to waste with Ivanov. If he doesn't agree, I'll have Xiao Ma go to the North Soviet Union immediately and find other arms dealers to cooperate with. Damn it, the North Soviet Union's fighter jets have already been sold to the Middle East, and Ivanov is still stringing us along. It's simply outrageous."

"Brother Dong, I'll be firm then. If he won't sell, then we'll find someone else."

"I've made 20 billion US dollars from the Japanese during this period. You can buy as much as you want. As long as it doesn't exceed 3 billion US dollars, I have no problem with it."

"clear."

At 3 p.m., Chen Hui arrived at the Garibaldi government and met with Mahmoud.

Mahmoud already knew about the battle situation and was extremely shocked that the Dragon Mercenaries were able to annihilate the fully armed American mercenaries. Even his attitude towards Chen Hui changed drastically.

"Mr. Chen, congratulations on your victory in this war."

"We are very grateful for the clue you provided. Mr. Mahmoud, this is our token of appreciation, please accept it."

"Haha, you're too kind."

Mahmoud beamed when he saw the amount on the check and immediately put it in the drawer.

Chen Hui said earnestly, "As I always say, we are always the most generous to our friends."

Mahmoud laughed and said, "That's why I like you guys. Mr. Chen, I wonder if you're interested in the armed helicopters used by the American mercenaries last night?"

Chen Hui raised an eyebrow and said, "Of course I'm interested. To be honest, we've suffered a great loss because of these armed helicopters."

Mahmoud chuckled and said, "It's quite a coincidence. These terrorists landed six armed helicopters at one of our small military airfields, and we arrested them. If Mr. Chen wants them, we can sell them to you; the price is negotiable."

Damn, that's really shady!

It was obvious that Mahmoud, seeing that the American mercenaries had been wiped out, simply captured the enemy pilots.

Although these six armed helicopters were his spoils of war, they could not remain in his hands; otherwise, he would have no way to explain it to the Americans.

Therefore, the best solution is to sell these helicopters to ourselves.

After figuring out the key points, Chen Hui asked, "Mr. Mahmoud, would you like to name your price?"

Mahmoud held up two fingers and said, "Since we're old friends, I can give you a discount. The price for each armed helicopter is twenty million US dollars, plus twenty missiles."

Shady businessman!

A Black Hawk attack helicopter from the United States costs only 25 million US dollars on the arms market. It's outrageous that a second-hand attack helicopter with performance far inferior to the Black Hawk is being sold for 20 million US dollars.

Chen Hui cursed inwardly, but kept a straight face and said, "Mr. Mahmoud, for six armed helicopters and 120 missiles, we can only offer a maximum of 100 million US dollars. This is our bottom line, and we cannot offer more than that."

Mahmoud frowned and said, "Mr. Chen, armed helicopters have always been in high demand but short supply. Not to mention mercenaries, even the Malaysian government army can't buy them. Twenty million US dollars a helicopter is not expensive."

Chen Hui said with a wry smile, "Mr. Mahmoud, we are not a money printing machine, we really can't come up with that much money."

Mahmoud paused for a moment, then said, "Alright, one hundred million US dollars, six armed helicopters and one hundred and twenty missiles, all sold to you."

Chen Hui said happily, "That's great, thank you."

Mahmoud said, "We're friends, after all."

Shen Dong was very pleased to learn that Chen Hui had spent 100 million US dollars to buy six armed helicopters.

He doesn't lack money now, what he lacks is awesome weaponry.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, Chen Hui had the six armed helicopters taken away that very night.

"Bang"

"A bunch of useless trash."

Khadar, a key figure in the Hong Kong-based hawk faction, slammed a teacup onto the ground.

Qatar was the former Chief Executive of Hong Kong Island. After retiring, he did not return to the United States but settled in Hong Kong Island.

Within the Hong Kong government's hawkish faction, his words carry more weight than those of the current leader.

The more than 5,000 mercenaries that the U.S. conglomerate hired at great expense were actually the work of Qatar.

Unexpectedly, Shen Dong's Dragon Soaring mercenaries were so powerful that they wiped out his forces in just one night.

This enraged the usually composed Kadar.

"Mr. Kadar, what should we do next?" asked Jack, the assistant.

Kadar retorted angrily, "How should I know?"

Jack said, "How about we force the Malaysian government to drive out the Tenglong mercenaries?"

Kadar glanced at him, sighed, and said, "Our America is no longer the invincible empire it once was. The Dragon Might Mercenaries are clearly backed by the Xia government, and Malaysia is unlikely to risk offending the Xia government to help us. If we want to drive the Dragon Might Mercenaries away, we can't go through the official channels."

Jack nodded and said, "You're right. Mr. Kadar, I will be increasing your security level in the coming days. Please do not go out unless necessary."

Kadar was taken aback and said, "You're worried that Shen Dong will do something to me? Hmph, even if I gave him a hundred lives, he wouldn't dare to touch a hair on my head."

Jack said, "Mr. Kadar, Shen Dong is a super terrorist with tens of thousands of armed men under his command. We must be on guard."

Kadar was silent for a moment, then said, "You're right."
