Chapter 121 Military Cooperation
"Hello, General Patton."

"Hello, Lu."

Obviously, compared to the last time Lu Chen met General Patton, the other party obviously didn't have a good rest these days.

As the No. [-] figure in the Kannian military, although Patton did not go to the front to command the battle, he was only in charge of logistics, which made this Patton, who was usually hollowed out by alcohol, feel tormented.

But Patton was more aware of the consequences of losing the war.

Unlike Lu Chen, no matter who wins this war, it doesn't have much influence on Lu Chen.

Afterwards, Lu Chen should do business or how to do business, but as a powerful figure in the Kanya military, if he fails in this battle, he will either flee overseas or be executed.

There is no third way to go.

So during this period of time, he was not only suffering from his busy schedule, but also mentally exhausted.

The anti-government army is really too slippery, just like loaches.

After the opponent conquered Winkle, they did not occupy the city, but withdrew from the city after looting and burning supplies.

All that's left is a mess for the Kanya government, who also has to deal with the civilian famine that followed the war.

Although in the eyes of Lu Chen and others, the people in the slums of Sogeli live a life without a second meal, but in the eyes of people from other places in Kanya, Sogeli is a city like heaven .

At least the number of people directly starved to death in Sogli every year is relatively small.

Different from the arrogance when he asked Lu Chen for bribes before, this time General Patton saw Lu Chen with a very flattering expression on his face.

After listening to the other party's intentions.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Chen said, "General Patton, what do you mean, you want to borrow a sum of money from us to buy food, fresh water and other daily necessities?"

"exactly!"

Seeing Lu Chen being so upbeat, Barton looked at Lu Chen with hopeful eyes.

"However, last time we purchased your industrial land, the land transfer fee was as high as [-] million US dollars."

After finishing speaking, Lu Chen calmly took a sip of tea.

Lu Chen's meaning is very clear, with this money, do you still worry about the food problem?

Button looked a little embarrassed: "To tell the truth, Mr. Lu, that money has long been used for other purposes."

The meaning behind it is very clear, it was divided up by high-ranking government officials a long time ago.

As for making these high-ranking officials spit out what they ate, it is obviously more difficult than killing them.

Lu Chen also knew about this situation.

The reason why he said this was also to obtain greater benefits in the future.

Lu Chen put on a embarrassed expression and said: "To be honest, I don't think the Kanya government has the ability to repay this debt, or in other words, I don't think you can win this war."

"No, Mr. Lu, you have to believe in the strength of our Kanya military!"

Patton argued, "Although we only have more than 3000 regular troops, we still have more than 7 reserves."

"Reserves without weapons?"

Lu Chen blocked the other party with a word so that he couldn't answer.

The embarrassment on Barton's face disappeared in a flash: "Of course, as long as you sponsor our military expenses, we can immediately arm an army of more than 7 people and completely win this war!"

After speaking, Barton looked at Lu Chen sincerely.

Lu Chen swore that if he hadn't held a stronger armed force than the opponent, and if he hadn't stood behind him a country that wouldn't dare to provoke the opponent even if he killed him, the opponent would probably have thought of robbing him.

"Benefits, I need benefits, General Patton!"

Lu Chen shook his head, "I'm a businessman, and I won't do things that don't benefit me. From an investment point of view, it's the safest way for me to lower my bargaining chips after you decide the winner. .”

"But that's definitely not the way to benefit the most!"

Seeing that Lu Chen didn't scatter hawks when he didn't see rabbits, Barton said in a deep voice, "As long as Mr. Lu is willing to help us, we can hand over Kanya's minting rights to you."

Hearing this, Lu Chen's heart moved slightly. Although a small country's right to mint coins is nothing, the meaning it represents is completely different.

This meant that Kanya had given one of their most important powers to Lu Chen.

For a country, the most important powers are nothing more than military power, administration, and taxation.

And mastering the minting power not only mastered the country's economic dominance, but also mastered the invisible taxation power.

This power is not insignificant, that is, Kanya's economy is backward, and it is useless even if it has the right to mint coins, because the currency it uses is US dollars, not its own currency.

The reason is also quite funny, without that technology.

That's right, they don't have such superb technology to print and issue anti-counterfeit currency, so they simply use US dollars as their national currency.

Now Barton has given Lu Chen the right to mint coins on behalf of the Kanya government. It seems that it has little influence on Kanya for the time being, but in fact it has given up the country's economic dominance.

As for taking it back by force after giving it up, not to mention being untenable in law, Lu Chen himself is not a vegetarian.

Not to mention, more than half of the congressmen of Kanya's government were bribed by Lu Chen.

Even if they wanted to use force against Lu Chen, the Congress would not pass this resolution.

Pretentiously thinking for a moment, Lu Chen nodded in embarrassment: "In this case, I hope my investment will not lose money."

Barton breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

He knew that in Kanya, the only one capable of helping them wipe out the anti-government forces was Lu Chen's side.

"I don't know what kind of support General Patton needs from me?"

"Food, munitions, and of course, intelligence support is best!"

Now that the two parties have reached a cooperation, Barton no longer hides it, and puts forward all the requirements in one go.

In fact, Barton's intelligence support was just a casual remark. After all, the establishment of an intelligence organization cannot be achieved in a short period of time. Not to mention the financial problem, well-trained agents cannot be cultivated in a short period of time.

"In the final analysis, food and arms are a matter of money. I am willing to provide you with [-] million U.S. dollars as military sponsorship this time. In addition"

"Thank you Mr. Lu, the Kanya government will never forget your generosity!"

"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet."

Lu Chen was a little helpless, Ma De only had money in his eyes.

He can guarantee that if the [-] million U.S. dollars is given to them, one percent of it will be used for military expenses in the end.

Do not underestimate the level of greed of these senior government officials.

Otherwise, the common people in the country would not be starving to death one by one, and the senior officials of the Kanya government could still afford to live in a super luxurious hotel like the Auberge Hotel.

"In addition, we can also provide you with intelligence support."

"Oh?"

Barton was completely shocked. The information support was just a random word from him. He never expected that Lu Chen would actually give him the support in the report.
