Nine hundred and ninetieth chapters play hard to catch
Before coming to Hong Kong, Karabi and his friends also found some of the surrounding brother countries that supported them. However, those countries were powerless and were generous and generous to be able to provide millions of dollars to support them. However, compared with demand, it was a drop in the bucket. With the shadow of the United States, they could not get any support from Europe. At the critical moment, Karabi remembered Chen Kangjie and what Chen Kangjie said to look east.
This time, Karabi came to Hong Kong to get assistance from him. If possible, he would also secretly visit the capital to seek political support.
"Mr. Chen, you are right, so I sincerely hope that you can lend a helping hand and support our just cause. As friends, we will not let your efforts be in vain." When handing Chen Kangjie a cup of steaming coffee, Karabi stared at Chen Kangjie enthusiastically and said.
Karabi's last sentence was a pun, saying that friends were to play private cards, but he knew very well that in such important aid, a relationship of friends alone was unreliable. No one would spend hundreds of millions of dollars just because of the word "friend". Only interests are the cornerstones that can tie the two parties together. There is no eternal relationship, only eternal interests. This is a simple truth that everyone understands clearly.
Chen Kangjie took the coffee cup with his left hand and waved his right hand, "My friend, if you can come here to find me thousands of miles, that is trusting me, and being trusted is the greatest praise. Since you trust me, of course I will not doubt you. Although businessmen value profit, they are not unkind. I will definitely help you with your difficulties. And if you have the opportunity, I can even play a role in the restoration and reconstruction of your country and invest in and build your country."
Chen Kangjie's words are generous and affectionate, and they are very comfortable to hear, as if he really agreed to help out because of his friendship or justice. In fact, there is no word in Chen Kangjie's words saying that he does not want to give back, but instead he hints the return he needs very clearly, that is, to invest, he can support it with money, and the condition is to provide investment convenience.
"Hahaha, we can't get what we want, we can't get what we want." After receiving Chen Kangjie's affirmative answer, Karabi held Chen Kangjie with excitement.
Perhaps because he had touched the gun too much in recent years, his palms were all calleduses, and when Karabi was excited, he was so oblivious. The force on his hands was very strong. He turned a little and then turned awkwardly and quickly let go of his hand.
He thought Chen Kangjie would feel unable to stand it, but he didn't know that Chen Kangjie had nothing to do, and there was still a faint smile on his face. Chen Kangjie's performance made Karabi pay more attention and believe in him, because this is a symbol of the strong. If Chen Kangjie grinned, Karabi felt that Chen Kangjie's promise might not be reliable.
We humans are so strange. In more cases, the root of believing or paying attention to a person is not the words that the person says directly, and the source of more information and feelings is often some other unintentional place.
"As long as we take Stanleyville, the national regime will basically be under fundamental threat. We may be able to fight to the capital Leopoldville in one go and achieve national liberation. By then, both me and myself will open our hearts to welcome you. At that time, the recovery and development of the country are inseparable from huge investment." In order to enhance Chen Kangjie's confidence in aid, Karabbi drew an attractive pie for Chen Kangjie in advance.
"Sit down and chat, sit down." Chen Kangjie really found it difficult to adapt to the strong smell of Karabi. After he finished speaking, he quickly pushed him down, "Now you really tell me how much it takes to overcome this hurdle."
Chen Kangjie completely believed Karabi's words, even more than himself, because in the original history, Karabi and his team took less than half a year to seize the national regime after capturing Stanleyville. Stanleyville's fall was a huge blow to President Monto, and the morale of the entire government army was completely shaken. In addition, President Monto made plans to escape at this time and took a lot of the originally allocated military expenses for himself, which led to a sharp decline in the combat effectiveness of the army, which made the anti-government armed forces quickly occupy the country and even capture the capital like a tide.
Chen Kangjie promised so readily because he knew this history, but it was completely different in Karabi's eyes. He actually had no idea what he said, so he felt that Chen Kangjie had the extremely oriental chivalrous spirit, which was so spared no effort out of justice and a certain cultural belief.
At the same time, Karabi remembered that Chen Kangjie, who was more handsome and immature than Chen Kangjie in front of him, was so handsome that he designed to throw the other party into his grandmother's house because he said extremely insulting and impolite words from several Europeans. It was a terrible sight. He did not think that Chen Kangjie was vengeful because he did not point at him and said those words. Moreover, Karabi himself wanted to teach those uneducated European youths a lesson.
Karabi took a few deep breaths to calm down his inner excitement, "At present, 200 million US dollars is almost the same. After all, Monto has arranged an army of more than 20,000 people in Stanleyville. If we want to take down this city in one go, the loss will be huge. Material supplies, bullet loss, casualties, and deal with these problems will require a considerable amount. At the same time, if the city is taken down, it will be necessary to stabilize the residents of the city and the basic public security order. The task is very difficult." Karabi was worried that the amount he said was too large, so he also sat down for a detailed explanation.
Chen Kangjie was still a little surprised when he heard that such a battle could only be fought for only 200 million US dollars. He thought he could not get it without 500 billion US dollars, but it seemed that it was still very cheap.
In fact, this cannot be blamed for Chen Kangjie for such a misjudgment. Although he was reborn, he had never been to Africa in person and had never been involved in the war there.
In Africa, general wars are relatively primary. Due to the backward economy and low population quality, high-level battles are impossible. Most of the weapons used between opponents are mainly light weapons, namely rifles, machine guns and pistols. Perhaps the only heavy weapons and advanced equipment that can be used are heavy machine guns and shoulder-mounted rocket launchers. Such a combat pattern determines that the money that both sides need not be too high, and they cannot afford to fight if it is too high.
Modern warfare, which uses missiles, tanks, armored vehicles, helicopters, fighters, and warships, is basically avoided in Africa. Otherwise, like the United States, the price of a tactical tomahawk cruise missile is as high as US$729,000, a tank costs millions of US$ and a fighter can cost tens of millions of US$. This kind of high-tech war accumulated with money is not even thought of by poor African countries, and they cannot afford to fight a battle with their whole country.
Although Chen Kangjie felt that the amount of funds needed by Karabi was not large, he did not reveal it, but waited patiently for him to finish speaking.
"What if you conquer the country, for example, how much do you need to win the capital?" Chen Kangjie did not comment, but continued to ask.
"This, this,,, I have never calculated it. If you want to win the whole country, you need to buy,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
He obviously did not expect Chen Kangjie to ask this, so he did not make any preparations for this. Now they have not even won Stanleyville yet, so how dare they expect a national victory? Karabi came here to beg for alms to capture Stanleyville. When he said that it would take 200 million US dollars, he was not sure whether Chen Kangjie would agree, and how dare he shamelessly think of a wider range and a larger amount.
Two hundred million US dollars are nothing in the hands of those big countries or the super rich, but for a poor and backward West African country, especially for rebel guerrillas who have not yet held power, it is undoubtedly astronomical. They have no tax sources, no state-owned assets for exchange, and no legal credibility guarantees. The latter said that the billion US dollars were expressed with a nervous mood.
After Karabi finished speaking, Chen Kangjie did not rush to express his opinion, but instead made a very difficult and thoughtful look.
Seeing Chen Kangjie tapping the sofa against the wall with his fingers and thinking quietly, Karabi did not disturb him, but just stared at him and waited with a heart hanging.
Although Chen Kangjie had just expressed his support, Karabi had not yet stated the amount needed at that time. Now that the amount is so large, Karabi was a little unsure of Chen Kangjie. This decision was very difficult to make. Even as Chen Kangjie thought longer and longer, Karabi himself was a little regretful. If he had known it, he would say less of the amount. At worst, he would use a little more soldier's life to supplement it. If Chen Kangjie regretted and refused, it would be a loss for Karabi.
