Upon hearing this answer, Carlyle burst into laughter and waved his hand.
His secretary then placed a list of weapons and medicines in front of Holmes.
"General Holmes, to show my sincerity!"
"Consider this batch of weapons and medicines, worth one hundred million US dollars, as a gift I prepared for you!"
Holmes was astonished to hear that these brilliant Chinese men, who had mastered the art of finance, were so generous as to gift him weapons and medicine worth a hundred million.
Although she was curious about what he was up to, she still put on an excited expression.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Carlyle..."
Before Holmes could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the weapons on the weapons list.
Because the weapons on this list, besides common items like rifles, grenades, and rocket launchers, also include...
There are also several M777 howitzers with a caliber of 155 mm, as well as multiple rocket launchers!
These cannons and rocket launchers would be cheap knock-offs elsewhere, but in Africa...
There aren't many Odyssey players who can master both of these skills and hit them accurately...
At the very least, Holmes didn't have any under his command.
"Mr. Carlyle, what's the meaning of this cannon and rocket launcher...?"
As Carlyle watched Holmes, this idiot, refuse to take the bait, his last shred of civility vanished completely.
"General Holmes, don't you know what these two things are called in war?"
"They're known as the kings of artillery!"
"With these two items, not only will the assault become easier, but we can also inflict massive casualties on Harold's army!"
If Holmes still didn't understand what Carlyle was up to after hearing this answer, then he might as well quit being a general.
"Mr. Carlyle, just get to the point!"
"What's the price for mercenaries?!"
Carlyle laughed and said, "General Holmes is a straightforward man."
"An M777 howitzer operator earns $800 per day, and a rocket launcher operator earns $1,000 per day,"
"Ordinary combat personnel receive $500 per day!"
"If General Holmes has any other needs, I also have tank drivers and aircraft pilots!"
"And I can provide two options: tanks and aircraft,"
"One option is direct sale, and the other is leasing!"
Upon seeing Carlyle's businessman-like demeanor, Holmes immediately interrupted.
"Mr. Carlyle, forget about tanks and airplanes; Harold doesn't have either of those."
"First, get the personnel in place for the artillery and rocket launchers. The deadline is one month!"
After saying that, Holmes snapped his fingers.
Immediately, an Odbiao came over carrying a box.
"This one million dollars is a deposit,"
"Any overpayment will be refunded, and any underpayment will be collected later!"
Carlyle looked at the paltry one million dollars in front of him and immediately thought to himself, "..."
Is it possible to get an extra refund?
The weapons list I provided for you doesn't include much ammunition...
Once the war begins, you'll be lucky to last five days with your meager ammunition reserves...
"It's a pleasure to work with General Holmes!"
"If you need anything later, just let me know. I have everything I need except US dollars!"
"must!"
Leaving General Holmes's residence, Carlyle, now in a Hummer, looked at the documents he had signed with Holmes, then smiled and took out his satellite phone to call William.
"Mr. William, Holmes has taken the bait!"
"Should we proceed according to plan from now on?"
Upon hearing this, William on the other end of the phone sneered.
"5,000 mercenaries and their equipment have already boarded a ship bound for Sultan. Once you've squeezed every last penny of dollars and gold out of Holmes, you can find an opportunity to eliminate him!"
Taking down a warlord like Holmes would be easy for Carlyle.
But what he couldn't understand was why William hated Gao Ren so much.
They'd rather spend so many dollars to frame Gao Ren for Holmes' death!
"Mr. William, are you so sure that Gao Ren will come to the Sultan in person?"
"If he doesn't come, then this plan will have to be changed..."
Upon hearing Carlyle's skepticism, William on the other end of the phone chuckled and said...
Don't worry!
"Gao Ren will definitely go to Sudan!"
"Because he knows I will definitely thwart his plan to profit from the war in Sultan..."
Hearing this answer, why should Carlyle argue with him?
Who told him to be the financial backer?
"I understand now."
A few days later,
With intelligence support from Carlyle, Holmes's army advanced more than 30 kilometers directly into Harold's territory.
Holmes's army is now separated from the nearest city, Melut, only by the Nile River!
When Harold heard the battle reports from the front, he realized that if it weren't for his already dark skin, it would be unlikely that it would get any darker.
Now his dark skin must be even darker.
"Tell the front lines, reinforcements are on their way!"
Upon hearing Harold's words, the adjutant hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.
"General, the reason why the front lines collapsed so quickly,"
"It's entirely because Holmes's army possesses long-range weapons of mass destruction like cannons and rocket launchers,"
"The troops at the front had just assembled when the enemy unleashed a volley of fire..."
How could Harold not understand what his adjutant meant?
But he knew very well that there's no such thing as a free lunch.
