Arms starts with hyenas in the Middle East

Chapter 501 Blackmail
"This is our aircraft carrier formation. The flagship you see is our Fengtian, which is also our first aircraft carrier."

Liang Muzhe, who was standing by, heard Oleg's exclamation and began to explain.

"Liang, this is the most luxuriously equipped... merchant ship I have ever seen!"

Oleg put down the telescope in his hand and sighed sincerely.

An entire aircraft carrier fleet is deployed just to escort a merchant ship. How can this be described as luxurious?

Simply inhumane!
Although the Fengtian aircraft carrier formation at this time was not as luxurious as those in later generations, it was definitely not bad. It had two Type 052C air defense destroyers, two Type 054A frigates, one Type 052D destroyer, and one Type 903 comprehensive supply ship.

It can be said without exaggeration that their merchant ship is the most powerful merchant ship in the world. Although it is only a medium-sized cargo ship, it is not surprising considering the cargo carried on the merchant ship. No matter which country in the world it is, it will not take it lightly.

Naturally, there will be no more surprises next. Who in the world can rob a merchant ship in the hands of an entire aircraft carrier fleet?
Guangzhou Port is a port located in Yangcheng, a major city in Nanyue Province of China. It is located at the mouth of the Pearl River and the center of the Pearl River Delta, bordering the South China Sea, adjacent to the Xiangjiang River and Xiangshan'ao area. The Dongjiang River, Xijiang River and Beijiang River converge here and flow into the sea. Guangzhou Port is the largest comprehensive main hub port and container trunk port in South China of China. It has opened 43 international container liner routes. In 2012, it completed a cargo throughput of 36 million tons and 061.00 million standard containers, ranking seventh in the world!
At this time, the port has been taken over by officers and soldiers from the South China Theater. Soldiers armed with live ammunition can be seen standing guard and patrolling everywhere. Among the stars, there are several middle-aged men with majestic faces and stars on their shoulders. One of them is of medium build, with a cold and hard face, and an iron-blooded temperament all over his body. He looks extremely majestic in his military uniform. He is the deputy chief of the South China Theater. If Sean was here, he would recognize him. Who else could it be but his old father-in-law, Xia Guangyuan?
However, the contact with RFG this time was because the higher-ups had learned about Sean's character through Xia Guangyuan in advance, and then sent people to make contact with him. Therefore, the port for receiving the goods was chosen to be Yangcheng Port. In addition to the people from the MFA department and the COSCO Group, the military personnel who came to greet the freighter were naturally from the South China Theater.

Xia Guangyuan was in a very complicated mood at this time. He had never thought that they would have a time to cooperate with his son-in-law, and that the other party would be in a dominant position. Looking at the merchant ship slowly approaching and docking, Xia Guangyuan withdrew his thoughts and followed the man standing in the front with three stars on his shoulders to greet Liang Muzhe, Oleg and others who had landed.

"Guys, believe me, this must be the most awesome experience of our lives. A group of people are looking forward to welcoming us. It almost makes me lose my identity!"

Nikola looked at the magnificent lineup of the Xia army coming towards them from a distance, smacked his lips secretly, and sighed in a low voice to his teammates beside him.

"Haha, that's enough for us to brag about for the rest of our lives!"

Igor beside him nodded in agreement.

"Believe me guys, even if the president comes, he won't be treated any better than we are!"

When Andre heard his teammates' discussion, he immediately interrupted and spoke seriously.

But there is absolutely nothing wrong with what he said. Even if the president comes, the welcome treatment cannot be higher than the current one.

"Sword and Shield, I remember that Boss's father-in-law seemed to be a leader of the South China War Zone, right?"

Vasily, who had not joined the discussion, suddenly remembered something and asked.

"Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, he should be among these people, but that has nothing to do with us, and I'm afraid their relationship is not very good. Have you forgotten the situation of Boss and his lover?"

Jiandun shrugged. The meaning was self-evident. They all knew exactly what happened after Sean was attacked and injured in Caracas and was hospitalized.

"Of course, I'm just curious."

Vasily spread his hands and said casually.

Not to mention that the relationship between the two is a bit awkward, even if they really get along well, it has nothing to do with them, the employees.

……

In the reception room of RFG Group headquarters, Tinata Island, Abu Dhabi.

"Mr. Sean, as an apology, we are willing to bear all the expenses incurred by your group in this attack and give your group a certain amount of compensation. In addition, we hope to reach a strategic cooperation with your group to jointly fight against the remnants of the public enemy of mankind, the 'Nazis'!"

A middle-aged white man with neatly combed hair and a well-cut suit said modestly.

"compensation?"

Sean tilted his head, with a look of doubt on his face: "What compensation? I don't remember you causing me any trouble?"

"Mr. Sean, there is an old saying in China, which is to get straight to the point. I am sitting here today because I want to have a straight talk with Mr. Sean."

The man paused and continued, "I know that our attack may have caused some trouble to your group, but at the same time, our losses are obviously greater. Of course, we have no intention of being an enemy of Mr. Sean. It's just that some stupid scum made a stupid decision, and they paid the price for their stupidity. I came here with sincerity this time to express my apologies to Mr. Sean."

Sean still refused to accept the request and asked back: "Mr. Will, I'm sorry, my memory doesn't seem to be very good. I really don't know what you are talking about?" Fuck, damn yellow monkey!

Seeing Sean's stubborn look, Will couldn't help cursing him fiercely in his heart, but he remained expressionless and simply said it more clearly: "Mr. Sean, we are willing to pay one billion US dollars and lease a 6000-acre land for three years, rent-free. As long as you want to come to the United States to build a branch or move the headquarters to the United States, we will also give your group three years of tax exemption, as long as Mr. Sean is willing to return our Ohio-class nuclear submarine!"

Wow, you are really generous!

To be honest, anyone would be tempted by this condition, but unfortunately the person he met was Sean. Ten billion dollars was just a drop in the bucket for him. As for the land, three years of rent-free and tax-free was indeed very attractive. If it had been a year ago, he might have really agreed.

The rent is not so bad. Even if it is the best location, if it is calculated as commercial land, it is only about 9 million US dollars. After three years, it is just over million. It is not as much as the billion US dollars they paid in compensation. But the three years of taxes and the promise of a green light all the way are very attractive.

As we all know, nothing is expensive in the United States, except for the taxes. There are all kinds of taxes that can make your scalp numb. Of course, even if these things are calculated, they are nothing to Sean. He has mines in his hands, so he can speak with confidence. He is not short of money at all.

Although he is not short of money, this condition would be very attractive to him a year ago. But now, to him, it is no different from sending away a beggar. Even if he really wants to return the Ohio-class nuclear submarine to the other party, this condition cannot be met.

And the other party really dared to ask him to start a company in the United States!
Unless his brain was blown up by a missile, he would never go to the United States to start a company, let alone move the headquarters to the United States. Otherwise, wouldn't it be very easy for the other party to deal with him at that time?
At least now, there is absolutely no way he would go there. Even if it is just to open a subsidiary, he would not choose the United States.

However, he realized that he had to return the Ohio-class nuclear submarine to the other party. After all, the other party had lost all his face and had made it clear. The other party knew that he would never agree to such exchange conditions for the benefits they promised, but this was actually just an attitude given to him, like a blank check for him to fill out at will, but he had to agree to the other party's conditions. Sean would naturally not be determined not to give it to the other party. He already had a nuclear submarine, and it was a nuclear submarine carrying nuclear bombs. He could also launch a nuclear counterattack if he really wanted to. Having another nuclear submarine like this would not bring him any practical benefits. Instead, it would bring him even more crazy targeting from the United States. There was no doubt about this. Although he was not afraid, he would definitely be in trouble.

Besides, if you walk by the river often, how can you not get your feet wet?
What if something goes wrong one of these times?

However, the return must be made, but the benefits cannot be reduced at all. The other party must be made to bleed, and some conditions and agreements must be reached in this way.

"Mr. Will, since things have come to this, I will no longer deny it. Your Ohio-class nuclear submarine is indeed in my hands, but I cannot accept your compensation. I think it should be changed."

Sean picked up the cigarette box on the table, took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth and lit it, puffed out a puff of smoke, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Mr. Sean, please tell me. As long as you are willing to return it, we can discuss anything. I still say that those stupid guys who offended your group and destroyed our friendship will definitely be punished. We came here with sincerity."

When Will saw that Sean was no longer playing around, he immediately realized that the real negotiation was about to begin. The expression on his face became more serious and he was fully focused, afraid of missing any details.

This kind of negotiation is actually not much different from a business negotiation. Maybe one of the other party's words will set a deep trap for you. He represents the United States and President Bell. If he is really trapped by the other party, he will have to take the blame.

"My conditions are very simple. First, because of your attack, our employees suffered heavy casualties, almost all of them were wiped out, and the surviving employees suffered varying degrees of physical and mental injuries. You must be responsible for paying their pensions and medical expenses, which is about one billion US dollars. Well, you know that the employees of our group are quite valuable, so I need to pay them a lot of pensions, medical expenses, nutrition expenses, etc., including the upbringing of their families and orphans. Our group will be responsible for all these."

Sean stated his first condition without blushing or beating his heart.

Fuck, heavy casualties?
A billion dollars?

Were all members of your entire group killed by a few SEALs? Why do you want so much?
Although ten billion US dollars is not a lot, the sincerity he just showed is far more than ten billion US dollars. However, he is very clear that this is only the first condition proposed by the other party, and this is obviously suspected of blackmail. The first reason is so outrageous, will the rest be even more outrageous?

To be honest, he began to feel a little unsure, and he didn't know how many casualties the other side had suffered in this attack, but they had actually lost an entire SEAL Team 6 action team, and it was not known whether the personnel on the submarine were still alive. A conservative estimate was that more than 40 people were lost. Fortunately, he didn't need to worry about this problem, so he let Mr. Bell worry about it himself.

Although he secretly gnashed his teeth in his heart, he still nodded on the surface and said: "Of course, this is what we should do."

Seeing the other party nod in agreement without hesitation, Sean nodded with satisfaction, raised his second finger again and said: "Second, our losses this time are not just in terms of personnel. Your people attacked the freighter, causing many of our supplies to be damaged. These things cannot be repaired after being damaged, that is to say, they have all become scrapped because of your attack. You and I know what our supplies are. Each one can be said to be a precision instrument, and it is a precision instrument with high technological content. The cost is very expensive. Even our entire group does not have many. You have also seen that many of our employees have not had time to change their equipment. You must compensate for these losses, and one of them is a new type of equipment we are researching. Its expensive cost makes me feel very painful. Well... it's not too much. A total of 10 billion US dollars is barely enough."

“What… cough cough cough… cough cough cough…”

Will was just about to drink the coffee when he heard Sean's outrageous offer to open the door. He was caught off guard and choked, his face turning red.

"Mr. Will, be careful when drinking water."

Sean stood aside with a frightened look on his face, wiping the coffee splashed on his body with a tissue.

"Ahem...how much...how much do you say!"

It took Will a long time to come to his senses, his face full of disbelief.
