Chapter 943 The Last Cut of Leeks
The second round of negotiations ended with both sides parting ways unhappily again.
Not only were the conditions unacceptable, but Lei Zhen also proposed even more, leaving almost no room for bargaining.
These European countries were very satisfied and, to show their sincerity, secretly sent a lot of supplies, including food, weapons, etc.
In addition, a lot of tasks were given to maintain the operation of the Warrior Base.
This is a good gun!
Lei Zhen accepted all these insignificant things with a smile. After all, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still a piece of meat.
After waiting for two months, people wouldn't even give him a penny, so he took whatever was given to him without being picky.
"Thank you for your free donation. Although it is just a drop in the bucket, it at least solves the urgent need."
After the meeting, Lei Zhen sat together with countries such as Britain and France.
“But what can end the wars in Africa?”
"You all know how much a war costs. My current daily expenditure is as high as 2 billion, and that doesn't even include the cost of purchasing weapons and equipment."
"We were originally using mercenaries, but the war has dragged on for so long that it's no longer a matter of hiring people, and I can't handle it any longer."
Lei Zhen was very serious and told them the reality.
"That means I'm supporting hundreds of thousands of mercenaries, which is equivalent to supporting hundreds of thousands of troops, and they're constantly being deployed in war."
"20 days. I can only play for another 20 days at most. This is the limit."
Hearing this, many countries became anxious.
What can be done in 20 days? They have prepared a lot of things, which is definitely not something that can be completed in 20 days.
If he negotiates with Da Piaoliang after 20 days, all his preparations and efforts will be wasted.
"Mr. Myth, you'll have to fight for at least half a year."
"If you have any questions, please tell us and we will do our best to solve them for you."
"This is a just war, and more importantly, a war against hegemony. As long as we maintain our composure, we can win..."
The words sound very nice, meaning that you have to play well and we will applaud and cheer for you from behind. If you have any questions, just tell us and we will do our best.
As for how to do your best, no one said.
"I know I can win if I hold on, but I can't out-compete them." Lei Zhen said with a wry smile, "You all know that if this war isn't ended immediately, it will become a war of attrition. That's the situation we're in now."
This makes sense. War is about attrition.
If the war can be resolved in a short period of time, the cost will not be much, but the fear is that it will be wasted.
Construction of fortifications, personnel supply, material supply, weapons and ammunition supply, intelligence expenditures, informant expenditures, operational expenditures, etc.
The longer it is delayed, the more it tests your financial resources.
"Da Piaoliang can hold on because she has the entire country behind her, but I can't..." Lei Zhen said helplessly, "I had already achieved my war goals, but now I'm being dragged into the abyss. I'm afraid there will be a reversal in the next negotiation."
I've been told I can't play anymore.
They have a powerful national force behind them, but I have more than ten countries behind me, and none of them are useful. How can I defeat them?
"We can give you a loan," French Speaker Michael said with a smile. "We'll support you to the end, no matter what. Don't you agree?"
"Of course, this is the level of our support." Minister Hagen of the Bullfighting Country nodded.
"The war against hegemony must be fought to the end. As long as we can keep America in Africa, many problems can be solved. Don't you agree?" Australian Vice President Delwin looked at the representatives of the other seven countries.
"Yes, that's true."
"The war has reached this point. Da Piaoliang is almost unable to hold on, both at home and abroad. We absolutely cannot give up."
"Mr. Shenhua, you have to hold on..."
Seeing these three people speaking, the other seven people could only express their opinions.
"Fuck, that's all very nice to say, but where's the support?" Lei Zhen angrily said, "Without money, there's no point in fighting. Hundreds of thousands of mercenaries all need money to support them. You can use me as a gun, and I'm willing to be your gun, but I don't have the money!"
He overturned the table and scolded these people.
"I overturned the table this time, and next time I'll overturn the place. Don't be a good person, who the hell can continue the fight without paying?"
"I said, I've achieved my war goals. Now I'm paying for you, but what have I gained?"
"Okay, that's it, I'm tired!"
Lei Zhen turned around and left, leaving everyone there.
Speaker Michael and the other two knew very well his reaction. He just wanted a loan, but it was not targeted at them.
Because three of them have given it, this is for the other seven.
So when Speaker Michael proposed the loan just now, he was not trying to lend Lei Zhen another sum of money, but to let the other seven companies pay the money.
There's no reason why they each contributed 100 billion yuan while the other seven didn't contribute a cent. There's no such thing as a good deal. We all stand together and are allies.
"Ahem..." Speaker Michael coughed twice and said, "Mr. Shenhua has indeed paid a lot for this war, and we have paid a lot too. We have already provided Shenhua with a loan of 100 billion US dollars in the form of collateral."
You have to pay, otherwise I won’t let you play!
So having said that, the other seven companies can no longer play dumb.
"This is our common interest, and we need to reach a consensus, so I suggest..."
Lei Zhen didn't know what these people were talking about.
He only knew that shortly afterwards, a mortgage loan of $350 billion was completed, which was provided by the other seven companies, each of which was $50 billion.
He was quite satisfied with getting the loan.
"With this money, I can play for another year!"
"Don't worry, I will adjust the troops next. The heavy weapons have been purchased and are enough to keep Da Piaoliang entertained for a year."
"When they want to retreat, I will create a big conflict so that they have no way to retreat..."
Other people’s war profits come from plundering resources, while Lei Zhen’s war profits come from loans.
The war he launched in Africa has brought him more than one trillion dollars, and the daily expenditure is almost negligible.
Even if they burn $1 billion a day, it will only be $60 billion after two months.
After the energy agency announces it, it doesn’t matter even if these countries ask him to repay their debts. Anyway, what you are doing is a mortgage loan for me.
Just take the gold mines, copper mines and the like.
To show my sincerity, I will also let mercenaries guarantee the safety of your mining, but you have to pay.
This was a cut made by Lei Zhen. As for how Da Piaoliang cut these countries, it had nothing to do with him.
Anyway, he has harvested what he should harvest, and most of the money has been converted into gold, oil fields and other resources.
Even if the bank wanted to freeze the funds, it would be too late.
This is how you cut the last piece of leek.
At this point, Lei Zhen’s war wealth has reached a terrifying 1.35 trillion.
That’s enough, time to call it a day.
It's not that he's soft-hearted, but he can't squeeze much out of her anymore...
