Chapter 1188 Is there any other way?
"Patriarch Lu, how are things going?"
"Brother Jiang, it's still in progress. We have already found several suitable military bases and are in the negotiation stage. I believe we will be able to take them down soon."
"Take it down immediately, we can't wait any longer..."
After stabilizing the family, Old Man Jiang immediately called Lu Xiaoqi and asked him to hurry up and not waste any more time.
"What happened?"
"The Jiang family was bombarded."
"What?"
The consciousness under Lu Xiao sat up. This was not good news. They had already bombarded the Jiang family, so how long would it take for them to bombard their Lu family?
"Without missiles, we are no match for Lei Zhen. Although we have a deep foundation, we are still flesh and blood after all. We can't withstand the bombardment of artillery."
"It's my fault, I haven't been out to see the outside world for so many years, which is why we're in this situation now... Patriarch Lu, we have to deal with this quickly, because the next target is the Lu family."
"Okay, I know!"
“…”
After hanging up the phone, Lu Xiaoqi was no longer in the mood to deal with the golden cat. He ran out in two steps and tried to find Curtis as quickly as possible.
We must quickly take over the military base, only then can we fight against Lei Zhen.
Even if we cannot confront the enemy, missiles can still deter them and make them afraid to act rashly. This is the importance of symmetry.
"Brother Curtis, how are things going at the base?"
"Mr. Su, the base's affairs are still progressing."
"Don't tell me you're still working on it. If you want to make this money, help me get it done right now. Money is not a problem!"
I'm anxious, really anxious.
There was nothing that could be done about it. For Lu Xiaoqi, he had to accept it even if he was severely slaughtered by the other party. As long as he could take over the base and launch missiles, it would be fine.
"Mr. Su, don't worry, the situation is like this..."
Curtis saw the other party's anxiety and began to slowly accept the specific situation.
"I contacted four military bases. Two of them are not equipped to launch missiles. The other two are open to negotiation, but each has its own problems."
"There's a military base in the desert, and the owner is willing to sell it for a very reasonable price. But the problem is that the base is now under the control of militants. He said he's willing to sell the base for 99 years if you can help him drive the militants out."
Hearing this, Lu Xiaoqi's face was filled with pain.
Help them drive out the militants?
Stop kidding, I don’t have the ability to do that at all. 99 years of ownership is pure nonsense.
"What about the other one?" Lu Xiaoqi asked.
"The other is a military base in the Caribbean. A drug lord's armed forces are stationed there. You should know that the drug lords there are rampant and their power is even greater than that of the government army..."
"Get to the point!"
"Two billion dollars."
"How many?"
"Two billion dollars."
“This is robbery!”
"I think so too. They don't own the base, and they didn't even lease it from Great Eagle. They're just taking over, so there's no need to worry about it."
2 billion dollars was just something Curtis said casually.
After all, he was just a broker and had never seen how much 2 billion dollars was in his life. If he wanted to do better, he would have to ask for at least 10 billion.
"If we give them money, will they be willing to leave?" Lu Xiaoqi asked.
This sentence completely exposed his anxiety, and was equivalent to telling the other party to come and kill him, because if you miss this opportunity, you will never have it again.
Of course he knew that he would be killed, but it was too late.
They must enter the base as quickly as possible and then threaten or even attack Lei Zhen with missiles.
"Brother, they're asking for an exorbitant price. I'm afraid they won't leave even if you pay them," Curtis said. "The best solution is to choose a base in the desert. If you're desperate, you can pay to drive the militants away. That requires mercenaries. I have some connections in that area, and it would only cost $100 million at most."
"How long will it take?"
"That's hard to say. This military base is in the mountains, and the terrain is similar to the black market. Even if we advance at the fastest speed, it will take ten days to half a month. If the resistance is strong, it may take three or two months."
"Three or two months? I can't wait that long. Is there any other way? Like talking directly to this armed group?"
"Talk to them? Don't even think about it. They're an extremist organization!"
Let alone three or two months, Lu Xiaoqi couldn't afford to wait even for ten days or half a month.
Getting the base is just the beginning. The purchased missiles have to be transported there, and our own people have to move in. In addition, there are various preparatory tasks.
"Curtis, my good brother, do you have any other ideas?" Lu Xiaoqi stared at him and said, "As I said, money is not a problem!"
At this point, money is really not an issue.
It’s like when a family member suddenly encounters a car accident. At this time, money is of no use at all. As long as their lives can be saved, they would even sell everything they have.
This is the situation for Lu Xiaoqi.
The Jiang family was bombarded, and their home was not far away, so money was really not a problem.
"Brother, it's not about money at all. Although I also want to make more money, I will never ruin my reputation." Curtis smiled bitterly, "I still understand the difference between making a profit and making money continuously, so it's really not about money..."
Retreat in order to advance, and tell the other party that things that can be solved with money are just small matters, and things that cannot be solved are big matters.
The current situation is that no matter how much money you have, you cannot get it done in a short period of time, because it involves armed forces from all sides and is very complicated.
"Why not find General Karl?"
Neil came over and asked with a smile.
"General Karl?"
"Yes, Brigadier General Carl. He is the Deputy Minister of Logistics for overseas operations at Great Eagle. He has the final say on military bases in the Caribbean."
"real?"
Lu Xiaoqi's eyes lit up and he grabbed Neil.
"Of course, we have done business with Brigadier General Karl before, and we have a good relationship."
"If he's willing to take action, it would be easy to drive the drug lord out of the base. After all, it's Big Eagle's territory, so it makes sense to use force to take it back."
"How much does it cost?"
At this moment, Lu Xiaoqi seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and demonstrated his ability to make money once again.
"My dear brother, many things can't be solved with money. In our circle, connections and relationships are more valuable than money." Neil patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "I'll give him a call and ask. If his current position hasn't changed, it shouldn't be a big problem."
"Okay, thanks, brother!"
"You're welcome. Our friendship goes back a long way."
In front of the two of them, Neil took out a satellite phone and dialed a number.
"who?"
A low voice came from the phone.
"Commodore Carl, this is Neil."
"Neil? Haha, I was just talking about you to someone today, and you called me."
"Really? Ever since we last met, I've been practicing my drinking skills every day, just waiting for the day I can knock you under the table."
"Haha, I'm waiting!"
“…”
There was a round of greetings and laughter.
Lu Xiaoqi, who was standing next to them, had an idea in mind. Listening to the conversation, he was certain that the two must have a good relationship.
