Arms starts with hyenas in the Middle East

Chapter 338 The Habsburg Family (two in one)

"So, there are other mercenaries on the battlefield, and they are hired by the Kadafa tribe?"

Since Sean was going to participate in the bidding in Venezuela, the battlefield in Libya was directly handed over to Joseph for planning and hosting.

"Yes, Mr. Minister, Mr. Kuev said it was a group of artillerymen from France."

Kuyev is also the leader of the Honey Badger team. His team members captured the enemy mercenaries, and he was naturally the one to report this matter.

"I understand. We cannot eliminate foreign mercenaries on the Libyan battlefield. The Boss knows this very well. Just let people find out their background."

Both Sean and Joseph knew very well that foreign mercenaries could not be completely eliminated, so they did not plan to eliminate these war dogs from the beginning, but in any case, they had to know who had joined this group. A chaotic battlefield.

And there is another point that puzzles Joseph. Although the company does not provide combat force services to the Kadafa tribe, the Kadafa tribe also has many employees from Baige Security, and they are all in the position of commanders. , there is no reason why these guys cannot be discovered, unless these guys are hiding too deeply, or the employees of the Kadafa tribe have been bribed, so no one will report this information. This possibility can only be said to be possible, but it is not very likely. .

Although Sean never planned to monopolize the business of Libyan PMC, he had to find out whether the mercenaries appearing among the three parties were employees of other PMC companies, otherwise he would not be giving himself white pigeon security. He is not willing to pay pensions in an unknown way to increase the difficulty of tasks for his employees.

……

"Mr. Habsburg, I don't think you simply want to have a dinner with me today, right?"

After hearing the prisoner's request for help, Kuyev helplessly shrugged at the honey badger.

As for the specific reason why they are said to be lucky, I am too lazy to explain, but one thing that is more funny is that after this family reached its peak, for the so-called "pure blood", they actually had long-term incest and incest marriage, which led to their Various problems have appeared in the descendants, such as shoe-pick faces, thick lips, overturned lips, crooked mouths, and slanted eyes. Some family members even have intellectual disabilities, such as the Spanish Habsburg dynasty. The last ruler, Carlos II, had a typical case of intellectual disability + epilepsy. To this day, many people still call the mandibular protrusion "Habsburg chin".

"Oh, look, our French gentleman is hungry. Hey, honey badger, you caught him, so it's up to you to give him some food."

The honey badger reluctantly wiped his bald head, but still took out his ration and gave some to the guy, warning: "Listen, asshole, this is my ration, it is very expensive, you have to pay, Understand?"

The tied guy will naturally not refuse this hard-won food. Although he knows that the other party will blackmail him, in comparison, he does not want to starve to death!
……

In 1273, Rudolf von Habsburg became king of the German Empire, known as Rudolf I in history. The reason why he was able to successfully wear the crown was not because of how powerful Habsburg was at the time. In fact, The Habsburg family, led by Rudolf, had just defeated the King of Bohemia and taken Austria as the family's hereditary territory. It was also because of this that this formerly inconspicuous family became a powerful prince in the German region.

In Libya, at the temporary base of Kuev's team, the mercenary artillery observer looked a little haggard after being hungry all day.

"Hi, gentlemen... um... Cossacks, can you give me some food?"

At that time, the German Empire was in a sluggish economy and had constant internal disputes. No one wanted to be the king. Only Rudolf was enthusiastic about it. At that time, no one was optimistic about the new ruler, and even the nobles regarded him as a puppet. However, the fact is that Rudolf was very politically savvy. On the same day of his coronation, he married his eldest daughter to Ludwig II, Duke of Upper Bavaria. In addition, his other children also married other A marriage of nobles, which also included his nemesis Ottokar II, well, Ottokar II was the defeated King of Bohemia.

"Uh... I think I will, sir, when I am redeemed..."

Although after Rudolf's death, the Habsburg family was kicked out of the ranks of candidates for the throne by other principalities, he laid a solid foundation for the prosperity of the Habsburg family. Of course, is their luck really special? Good.

In the box, Sean swayed the red wine glass in his hand and carefully looked at the young man in front of him with a smile on his face.

Two days ago, this guy's people suddenly contacted Sean's secretary Lin Ke, saying that he wanted to ask Sean to have a casual dinner with him. Originally, Sean was too lazy to respond, but when he heard the other party reported his surname of Habsburg, Afterwards, Sean immediately changed his mind and happily accepted the invitation.

The Habsburg family is one of the most powerful royal families in European history and has the widest ruling domain. It once ruled many European countries such as the Holy Roman Empire, the Spanish Empire, the Grand Duchy of Austria, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Second Mexican Empire. , this family has had an extremely significant influence in the history of Europe.

Cafe del Mar, a high-end restaurant located in the heart of Caracas, serves a variety of Mediterranean specialties and a variety of international cuisine.

"damn it!"

Although the current Habsburg family is far less powerful than it once was, it is still one of the top aristocratic families in the European world. They also have outstanding achievements in business and control the vast majority of resources in Europe. They are not as powerful as today's The Capetian family is bad.

"Of course not, but we can talk while eating, right, Mr. Sean."

Lane, whose full name is Lane von Habsburg, is the first heir to the Austrian Habsburg family. Regarding Sean's name, he had already paid attention to Sean's name when the CIA operation section of the beautiful country failed to target Sean. , his think tank team has conducted research on Sean many times, and the reason why they did not contact him at that time was simply because Sean at that time was not only not strong enough, but also held the company's shares so hard that even the Cape family could not After successfully biting off a piece of meat from the opponent, he did not think that he could successfully achieve his goal on the opponent, so he held back his troops for a long time. He is waiting for the right time. No one in this world can resist the pressure from those large consortiums on their own. He believes that the reason why Sean holds the shares of Baige Security Company so tightly is because The other party has not yet felt the pressure from those top financial groups. Just as he thought, now that the opportunity has come, the other party has finally relaxed.

The only one who can fight against the consortium is the consortium!

"Of course I would be more than happy to dine with Mr. Habsburg."

Sean saw that the other party did not mean to get straight to the point, and he was not in a hurry. He knew that the other party must be contacting him with some purpose. It just so happened that he liked to make friends with these rich people, because they would give him, a poor guy, gifts. Money, green dollars!
"Haha, I feel very honored to be able to invite an aspiring young man like Mr. Sean to have dinner with me."

Ryan laughed and picked up the exquisite decanter on the table, which was filled with brightly colored liquid. While personally getting a glass for Sean and himself, he admired: "This is a collector's edition wine from the top winery Romanée-Conti. , believe me, no one can resist its delicious taste.”

The dazzling liquid flows down the decanter into the exquisite crystal cup, exuding an intoxicating aroma of wine. It is worthy of being the world's top wine.

Sean picked up the wine glass and took a sip, holding it in his mouth and savoring it carefully. He gently closed his eyes, swallowed the wine in his mouth slowly, and felt the smooth liquid sliding down his throat. , and exclaimed: "Tsk, sure enough, no wonder people say that high-end red wine needs to be savored carefully. This mellow wine aroma, with hints of oak barrels, does have a unique flavor."

Ryan picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and said with a smile: "Of course, red wine culture was born and grew along with the entire European history. Tasting red wine is not just about drinking, it is more of a pursuit of lifestyle."

Listening to Ryan's talk, Sean picked up the wine glass again and drank the wine in one gulp. He swallowed it in one gulp and said seriously: "Yes, yes, but It's a pity that it's hard for a rough guy like me to savor the taste. I still prefer to drink it in my stomach like drinking beer. After all, maybe I'm too poor. I think only What goes into my stomach belongs to me.”

Ryan's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and then returned to normal. He smacked his lips, shook his head, and said helplessly: "Well, yes, but man, you will get rich one day, maybe by then. Then your mind will change.”

Sean grinned and poured himself another glass and said: "Maybe, who knows, maybe I will always feel poor, but that doesn't matter, I will always move towards wealth."

Ryan nodded and suddenly said: "Sean, I think we are the same kind of people. We all feel that we are not rich enough, but sometimes one person's strength is not enough to become rich. I think we can unite and have someone to support each other. It’s always possible to get closer, isn’t it?”

Sean's eyes narrowed. He knew that the topic was coming, but he was not in a hurry: "Well, I think what you said makes sense, Ryan. There is still a certain distance between us and those truly wealthy consortiums, but the distance will always change." "Shortened, we are not lame, we will always move forward, even if we are lame, we will not stop because of lameness."

Ryan stretched out his palms and shook his hands, and his tone became passionate: "Yes, only the dead will stop. Even those who have broken legs will use wheelchairs to move forward, but we are all struggling now. With all due respect, Habsburg has almost reached its limit now, we can hardly get any closer, and the same is true for your RGF company, but we can unite, we can support each other, and we can all move forward until we can face those top consortium and then point their noses in and say, Hey, man, here I come!”

Sean looked at the other party's arrogant look and shook his head secretly. The guy in front of him still looked so immature. He seemed to be aroused by the other party. He knocked on the table with his hand and said in an passionate tone: "Yes, Ryan. One day we can do this, but I will definitely have companions on this road. The Capetian family is. I have always believed in this. Now I think, man, you are too, the same is true for Habsburg, and we can also do it. It’s a top consortium!”

Ryan clenched his fists: "Yes, yes, Habsburg is very willing, but the current RGF Group is still too immature. We need to inject some elements into it, such as brand culture, for example, to be more professional and influential. powerful senior staff.”

Brand Culture?

Sean was a little puzzled by what the other party said, I am an arms group, you talk to me about brand culture, shouldn't we talk about arms?

"Sorry, I don't quite understand what brand culture we need."

Sean frowned.

"Think about it, Sean, why is Blackwater famous? Many people even regarded it as the most powerful PMC company, but are they really worthy of it?"

Ryan asked and answered himself, shook his head and said: "No, they are not worthy. There are many PMC companies that are stronger than them, such as Deyang International, Clover Jungle, South African EO, and Israel IZO. No company here is worse than it, and Beautiful Country We all know that the truly strongest PMC company is MPRI, but why is Blackwater the most out of the circle?”

This is nonsense. Everyone knows that the reason why Blackwater got out of the industry is, to put it bluntly, because of public opinion. It tortured prisoners, sexually assaulted, and shot civilians. It can be said that it is this kind of negative public opinion that created the company Blackwater International. When it comes to negative incidents in this area, almost all companies in the world have such things, but only Blackwater is the most popular. Therefore, when many people outside the industry mention mercenary companies, the first thing they think of is Blackwater.

I have to say that this can be regarded as an alternative brand culture.

"Of course, I'm not saying that RGF has to take advantage of these negative public opinions like them, but you have to have something of your own, you have to build it, and the main business of RGF Group is arms, and the main task of Baige Security is to provide The arms business of the entire group must be well positioned, so I think you can start from the military industry, such as researching a high-precision weapon that belongs to the company, and it must be popular enough. "

Ryan stared at Sean with burning eyes as he finished his words. It was almost obvious, and he made no secret of the purpose of today's dinner.
