Chapter: 3339

As he spoke, Hāmǐ Dé continued, "Most mercenary organizations have one major problem: they lack heavy weapons. Even Blackwater, an American company, can only equip mercenaries with light weapons. When they're working with the US Army in the Middle East, their equipment is mostly supplied by the Americans. If they leave the Americans behind, they can't even get decent equipment in the Middle East; at best, they'll have Toyota pickups mounted with machine guns."

"In this regard, Wàn Lóng Diàn is also the same;"

"They have some heavy equipment in South America, but it's said to be only a limited amount of armored transport vehicles and old Russian helicopters. If they want to deploy these assets globally, they can only rely on maritime transportation;"

"But maritime transportation has another problem: all shipping companies worldwide are bound by a basic convention that prohibits transporting any non-governmental weapons equipment. Any port in the world also cannot allow any non-governmental weapons equipment to be loaded or unloaded;"

"So, it's basically not possible for them to get their equipment from South America to the Middle East."

Yè Chén listened until this point and spoke up, "So they're trying to establish a base of operations in the Middle East and then figure out ways to acquire heavy weapons from there?"

"That's right!" Hāmǐ Dé nodded seriously. "The Middle East has been plagued by war for years, making it a paradise for mercenaries. I don't know the exact global revenue for mercenaries each year, but at least 60% of it comes from the Middle East."

As he spoke further, Hāmǐ Dé said, "Don't look down on Africa either; those countries are chaotic and poor. Mercenaries fighting in such places can't even make a decent living. However, the Middle East is different; many countries there are very wealthy, including Iran, which may be under sanctions but is actually rich. They all have mercenary-related needs and are willing to spend money, making it a huge market for mercenaries."

"They have many heavy weapons in the Middle East, almost like a showroom for Eastern and Western weapons. Russian-made equipment accounts for the most, as long as you have money, there's nothing you can't buy. If Wàn Lóng Di really sets up a base in Syria and acquires some heavy equipment from the local area, their combat strength will definitely increase linearly and be very popular."

Yè Chén asked curiously: "Why do our government forces want to cooperate with them? Don't they fear that Wàn Lóng Di will affect our country's security afterwards?"

Hāmǐ Dé chuckled and said, "To them, Wàn Lóng Di is much stronger than us. After all, we are just genuine opponents facing off against each other."

"This is also true," Yè Chén paused for a moment before asking again: "By the way, do you know who the highest commander of Wàn Lóng Di in Syria is?"

Hāmǐ Dé replied immediately: "It's one of the four great warlords, Qing Mu Lang Wang. I heard he's even an ethnic Chinese person."

Yè Chén nodded slightly and said calmly: "I plan to find a chance to go meet him."

Hāmǐ Dé's expression turned tense: "Old brother, please don't be reckless! I've heard that Wàn Lóng Di has four great warlords, each one is an apex expert. And they not only have these four, but also hundreds of star-level warriors. Their strength is very strong, and it would be too dangerous if you go over there unprepared!"

Yè Chén laughed: "I don't know what's going on. I just feel like our paths might cross with Wàn Lóng Di in the future, maybe even become a major enemy;"

"If I were to stay in the country, that would be fine. But since I've come all this way, I'll have to find a way to understand their situation."

"Besides, I want to bring Su Shou Dao along, and only this path is available, so I have to go there no matter what. It's best if I can get him out of there."

"Hamed looked worried and said, 'Old brother, Wàn Lóng Di has at least 15,000 people surrounding me. Even if that green wolf king is on the front line, he must be deep in their army's territory, where there are countless soldiers guarding. You want to find him among their troops, which is already as difficult as climbing to heaven, and you still hope to bind him out of their troops - isn't this even more impossible?'"

"Yè Chén smiled slightly: 'That's okay. I don't necessarily have to sneak into his unit to find him. I can just go there to see him.'"

"Hamed exclaimed in surprise: 'What?! You're crazy?! As soon as you leave, their soldiers will definitely shoot at you directly and won't give you a chance to talk!'"

"Yè Chén laughed: 'Don't hurry, my words haven't been finished yet.'"

"When he got to this point, Yè Chén paused for a moment, then said: 'So, let's go out and spread the news today, saying that I hope to have talks with them. The contents of these talks include but are not limited to handshakes and words between the two sides, or you have conditions to surrender to Wàn Lóng Di and the government army;'

"However, as for the specific terms of surrender, we need to sit down and discuss face-to-face with the highest commander of Wàn Lóng Di. I believe they will definitely be interested.'"

"When that time comes, just tell them you'll send a negotiator representative to their territory to negotiate with their highest commander.'" JrNovels.com
