Salman nodded and said with a big laugh: "Major General Valentin, I am very satisfied with what you have provided. You will be my friend forever!"

"As long as you are satisfied, then Mr. Salman, should we talk about what to do next?"

Salman patted the container beside him and said, "The thirty tons of wheat on the ship, the one million magnesiums of gold and the one hundred kilograms of gold in the container are all my rewards to you!"

Valentin frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Salman, are you kidding me? Just with these two things, you want to take away these 20 brand new T-72 tanks from me?"

"Don't be anxious, my friend. I haven't finished speaking yet!" After Salman finished speaking, one of his men handed him a suitcase.

Salman opened the suitcase in front of Valentin and displayed the contents to the Ukrainian Major General. Pointing to an emerald-studded Arab scimitar inside, he said with a smile, "Friend, don't worry. These are just deposits. As long as you can sign a special pass to ensure that I and the goods reach the high seas smoothly, I will pay the remaining balance immediately. How about it? Am I sincere enough?"

Valentin took a puff of his cigar, frowned slightly and looked at Salman standing in front of him, wondering what he was thinking.

Salman didn't care about his look, turned around and took a cigar from his subordinate's hand, lit it and smoked it comfortably, as if he was not worried at all that the other party would reject him.

It was at the moment when he turned his head to light the cigar that Major General Valentin's hawk-like eyes keenly caught a detail.

That is, he saw a six-pointed star tattoo behind the ear of this Middle Eastern man named Salman, hidden under a turtleneck sweater.

It was this discovery that made the originally arrogant Major General Valentin break out in a cold sweat. If he guessed correctly, this mark should be from the Scorpion Mercenary Corps, which is ranked among the top five in the world and headquartered in the Middle East desert.

It is said that this mercenary corps has more than 200,000 mercenaries, and the various military equipment they are equipped with are the most advanced in the world.

As for how they got these equipments, no one knows, but everyone speculates that the top leaders of the Scorpion Mercenary Corps are likely supported by a Western country.

But only Xu Jianguo knew that the Middle Eastern businessman who was trading with Major General Valentin in Ossad Port at this time was none other than the space servant he had sent to the Middle East. He was also the supreme leader of the Scorpion Mercenary Corps and the supreme ruler with absolute say in the corps.

At the moment when Major General Valentin was sweating profusely, Salman seemed to be getting a little impatient.

"Dear friend, have you thought about it?" Salman said. His tone no longer had the previous enthusiasm, but was instead filled with a cold murderous intent.

Valentin shuddered and nodded hastily, saying, "Okay, no problem!"

Hearing this, Salman's face was filled with smiles again. He didn't care about the embarrassment in Valentin's eyes at all. He opened his arms and hugged him tightly, then asked his men to hand the Arab scimitar to Valentin.

At this point, the first business deal between Salman and Major General Valentin was officially completed. As the relationship between the two sides becomes closer, more new standard weapons of the Soviet Union will be continuously transported to the Middle East battlefield by cargo ships.

In addition to Salman, the space servant from Africa has also reached a deal with a general of White Goose Ross and successfully obtained a batch of heavy weapons and equipment.

After receiving the news from the two people, Xu Jianguo was very happy and reminded them not to be too stingy. What they lacked the least was money. They had finally encountered a power vacuum period due to the disintegration of the Soviet Union, so they must get as many weapons and equipment as possible.

As for other space servants who rushed to various places in the Soviet Union to contact the families of scientists, good news would come from time to time.

As of three o'clock in the morning of Jingzhou time, Xu Jianguo's space servants had successfully gained the trust of five Sulian scientists.

The families of these scientists were also sent to the Middle East overnight by Xu Jianguo's servants and settled in Abu Dhabi.

Of course, to ensure safety, they certainly could not choose ordinary airplanes as a means of transportation. Instead, they directly found a few empty containers, let the scientists' families live in them, and then used space to send them to Abu Dhabi.

As for the arrangements after they arrive there, Salman's people will naturally take action to ensure that their future life is worry-free. Of course, the premise of all this is based on the scientists' honest obedience.

Just as a large number of family members were transferred to Abu Dhabi, the several Soviet Union scientists who had been subverted were also sent to the island base via containers.

In the following period, Xu Jianguo frequently appeared in various research and development centers in the Su Federation countries, collecting a large number of prototypes, drawings and old research materials.

And for a period of time afterwards, a large number of drawings and research materials from the former Su Lian would appear from time to time in the 937 Research Institute and military graduate students in Jingzhou, as well as the old man's office in the red-walled west hall.

Even in some research institutions with particularly high levels of confidentiality, some prototypes have appeared.

This frequent and incredible scene immediately shocked the central leaders of Longxia Country and countless top scientists in the scientific research community.

Xu Jianguo, who knew the truth very well, naturally had to follow the crowd and pretend to be shocked.

As time went on, the 1992 Spring Festival was getting closer, and Xu Jianguo's island base far away overseas also welcomed more than a dozen top scientists from Sulian.

At the same time, with the efforts of the space servant Baron Larson of Parrot Country, he successfully bought this island from the patriarch of an ancient Spanish family, spending a full 86 million Parrot pounds.

After the island was taken into his possession, Xu Jianguo once again called Xu Shiyi and Xu Shisi and prepared to have them explore the underground structure of the base again. If conditions permit, he plans to expand the base again.

Xu Shiyi and Xu Shisi naturally had no objections to this. After receiving the task, they immediately took action.

On this day, Xu Jianguo, who was preparing ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner at home, suddenly received a message from a space servant in Su Lian. When he saw the content of the message, an expression of excitement that was difficult to conceal appeared on his face.
