Chapter 279 Young and Promising
Gao Yi has money now, but he doesn't only have money.
Compared with his modest family background, Gao Yi's resources and connections are what enable him to be a big brother to others.
Is Khalid a particularly worthy investment?
It's hard to say, it's hard to say, because there are too many things to consider when investing in supporting a younger brother. It seems that now Shaman and Marina are willing to invest in Gao Yi. That's because they see the value of Gao Yi. They
Willing to invest in Gao Yi.
As for Glass from the Defense Covert Operations Agency and Martin from the FBI, it can be said that they have tied their wealth and life to Gao Yi. The reason is that Gao Yi can give them things that others cannot. They
The cooperation with Gao Yi is the effect of one plus one being greater than two.
Now Gao Yi wants to vote for Khalid because he has no choice. Regardless of Khalid's character or ability, he can only vote for Khalid.
Yes, Gao Yi was already seriously considering betting on Khalid, because the situation forced him, and because Gao Yi suddenly discovered that investing in Khalid was profitable.
Where is the benefit?
It was because of what Gao Yi said unintentionally just now. He said that Khalid had persisted in fighting for so many years and this was the reward he deserved.
It was actually unintentional when I said it, but I reminded myself after I said it.
Right, if there is only one service provider like Khalid in the Libyan market, is this considered a monopoly?
If we could monopolize the anti-American armed forces business in the Libyan market, wouldn't it be very profitable?
The five million was originally intended to be used to save lives, but now I think it can really be regarded as an initial investment, and can be used for continuous investment in the future, or even increased investment.
Looking at the environment here, Khalid has been running a secret stronghold for a long time. Although it will be exposed soon, this stronghold has many functions.
Just by pretending to be a carpet factory, there can be many workers, and these workers are soldiers. They come to work every day, and their comings and goings will not arouse any suspicion.
Then there is the secret passage. Although it is a bit crude, it finally physically separates the disguised identity from the real identity. This alone shows that Khalid has a brain.
In the entire Middle East, the anti-American armed forces who can do this are considered smart. To say that novices are pecking each other is a compliment to them. Just look at those combat examples, which sometimes feel ridiculous.
Libyans really don't know how to fight. Even if they have studied in the war for many years, they still can't learn to fight.
Khalid was able to run a secret stronghold in Tripoli without being discovered for several years, which is already outstanding in terms of ability.
Of course, it's okay to say that you can pull out generals from a pile of scumbags.
Well, Khalid now has three advantages. The fact that he has been fighting the Americans for so many years shows that he can persevere and has courage. The fact that he can manage the secret stronghold well shows that he has some brains.
And seeing that Khalid also has his own doctor, it shows that he at least has this sense of urgency, and this is the fourth advantage.
After getting the money, he can quickly change his mind and correct his position. This is the fifth advantage of Khalid, which shows that he knows how to advance and retreat.
In the land of Libya, and in this cultural circle, there are many strange people who are ignorant of the heights of the world and cannot tell the difference between kings and kings. There are many idiots who are raised by others and still act like uncles to their masters.
Why does a character like Shaman feel sincerely flattering when he meets Gao Yi? It's not because he lacks even a flattering person around him.
With these five advantages, this guy is worthy of support, but there is one last problem. Once this problem is solved, we can really support a puppet armed force.
Of course, the pattern can also be bigger, with a win-win situation, not hegemony, and treating the Khalid armed forces as an equal partner rather than a puppet that can be abandoned at any time, but that is something to consider later, it depends on Khalid
How is De's performance?
People who do big things never hesitate. From having an idea to making a decision, it only takes ten minutes.
Gao Yi finally looked at Khalid, and then he said calmly: "It's been ten minutes. Let's see how the operation went."
Khalid said without hesitation: "I'm going to see how far the operation is going."
Gao Yi asked casually, without being perfunctory or asking his men to go to the operating room to take a look. Khalid immediately got up and went to see it himself.
The execution and attitude are both good and very good.
Khalid took a look and came back within two minutes. Then he said to Gao Yi: "The doctor said the operation will take an hour. We don't have plasma, but we have blood products. There is no problem in supplying the wounded with blood transfusions. Now
The condition of the wounded is not very good, but his life is not in danger, and he will not be disabled. It is just that a piece of the bullet is missing, which will leave a big scar in the future. It will definitely affect his walking, but it is already in this position, so it is still possible.
This is the best result that can be treated for this kind of injury. Even if it is sent to a big hospital, there are some advantages in postoperative care. There is almost no difference in the surgery itself. Overall, it is the best result."
Gao Yi asked one question, and Khalid answered one, two, three, four, five, giving all the answers that Gao Yi wanted to know but didn't ask.
Talent, this is it.
Gao Yi couldn't help but look at Khalid, and then he suddenly said: "How old are you this year?"
"32, I was born in 1985."
"Well, that's good. He's young and promising."
Gao Yi, who was in his early twenties, praised Khalid, who was in his early thirties, for being young and promising, which felt a little inconsistent, but no one in the room objected.
Gao Yi paused for a moment and continued: "You speak English very well."
"Before the civil war broke out, I studied in the UK. My father was an officer in the Fikaza government army, and my family's financial situation was pretty good."
Gao Yi immediately said: "Then you are leading people against the United States now because of your father? Do you want to avenge him?"
"Not really. I just want to drive the Americans out. Libya should be a Libya for Libyans."
It's not all about personal grudges, but it does have some great ideals.
"How many men do you have?"
"If we talk about the men I directly lead, there are about 200 people now, but the whole of Libya supports me. This support is invisible, but it is the reason why I can persist in the struggle until now."
OK, I only have 200 people under my command, but as soon as I open my mouth, I win the support of the entire country. I am thick-skinned, can speak big words, and I am a qualified political being.
Gao Yi finally asked the core question he had been preparing for a long time.
Looking very casual and calm, Gao Yi smiled and said: "After all these years, where do you get the funds for your activities? I'm afraid the money you make from the carpet factory is not enough, so do you rely on public donations or the past?
Zhan supports Zhan, or is there any financial backer behind it?"
This question is the core issue.
If Khalid is supported by other financial backers, it will be too late for Gao Yi to take action, because this means that he needs to wrest control of Khalid from a country.
Khalid nodded, and then he said calmly and seriously: "We have many sources of funds. A small part is self-raised, and there are also resource donations from supporters. This part accounts for about half. We use war to support war.
It is unrealistic. Our attacks and battles against the Americans will not yield any gains. Every battle will only result in consumption and no gain, so we did have financial backers in the past."
Gao Yi tilted his head slightly and said, "Oh, who will provide the funds?"
"Local chicken."
Gao Yi didn't expect this name. He frowned slightly and said, "Local chicken?"
"Yes, Ace also contacted us after the rise of Ace. They wanted to recruit us, but I decisively refused. I would not have any contact with an anti-human organization like Ace. After the war in Syria began, the Turkish army
Chicken began to support us, giving us two million US dollars in funding and some equipment. However, since the situation in Syria stabilized, Ace began to collapse, especially after Chicken began to take action in person, he stopped targeting us.
financial support.”
Gao Yi knew that he couldn't compete with a country, but according to Khalid, the total financial support was only two million U.S. dollars, which was not as much as what he had given at once, so it was as if the funder had no money.
In the final analysis, it is still a matter of geographical location. Khalid mainly operates in Tripoli, and local chickens do not like him, so naturally they will not spend a lot of money.
Gao Yi began to think deeply. He thought for a long time and finally said: "You judge what will happen next."
Khalid said without hesitation: "Our secret stronghold has been exposed, but the response speed of the Libyan National Army is very slow. Without the push of the Americans, it would be good if they can find it by this time tomorrow, even if they are sure that it is
At this location, the puppet government in Libya will not put too much effort into searching for him."
"Why?"
"Because it is unprofitable and will only kill people, especially if I am pushed into a hurry, I will retaliate. Those high-ranking big shots can hide in a safe place, but those who do the actual things, they can't do anything before they deal with me.
You have to think about it carefully."
Gao Yi suddenly understood and said: "I understand, what if the Americans intervene?"
Khalid seemed a little hesitant, thought for a moment, and said: "It depends on the intensity. Don't worry about small-scale raids. I will receive news after they enter the old city. Someone will tip me off. I can lead people to escape, but
If we encircle the entire old city and engage in large-scale street fighting, then we... will have a hard time handling it."
After finishing speaking, Khalid gently spread his hands and said: "If the national army on the arrest mission thought that I would escape and that I would be able to retaliate after escaping, they would have scruples and not dare to go too far. But if they
If they think I am dead, then they will kill me. Even if it is just to avoid my revenge, they will try their best to kill me. One more thing, Tripoli has not carried out such a large-scale battle for three years. According to common sense, they
There won’t be any big moves.”
Gao Yi said without hesitation: "If because of me, the Americans will push the Libyan puppet army to take full action, even if they search the whole city to find us, how should you deal with it?"
Khalid was silent for a moment, then he looked at Gao Yi and said: "That means you have a really big background. For the Americans and the puppet government to treat you like this, it means you are very strong. In this case, I will protect you."
You fled Tripoli and cannot resist."
In fact, Khalid did not answer Gao Yi's question directly. He chose to avoid the important and take the easy.
But Gao Yi was very satisfied with Khalid's answer, so he smiled and said: "Very good, very good. Next, let's talk about how to cooperate. You heard me clearly, it's cooperation."
