Red Alert: I am a sheikh in the Middle East

Old Thorpe still didn't understand what kind of person he was.

In this point of political wisdom, old Thorpe is not even as good as old Bader.

In other words, Bugacha Thorpe still deserves a beating!

……

Syed was upset.

He sat in the tent, feeling a little stuffy.

This is his first mission abroad.

But it seems to be messed up.

Because he bears the label of the former puppet regime, he is already lucky enough to be absorbed into the current elders team.

But also because of this label and background, Said is extra cautious and sensitive.

You must know that before deciding to recruit the old civil servants, the entire elders and the top military leaders all carried a strong brand of Fakhru.

So this time he set out on a negotiation mission, Said not only had a strong will to succeed, but also had a great psychological burden.

The curtain of the tent was lifted, Ergou hurried in, smiled and asked: "Ambassador Said, the newly built community in Central City is already issuing quotas for house purchases, the first batch of 400, are you there?"

Said was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No! What about you?"

Ergou's expression was very bright, he nodded heavily and said: "I have a quota, haha."

Said's expression darkened.

Sure enough, the first batch of places belonged to the "old men" of their "Fahru family".

This is not only a priority, but also a status and honor.

With my own identity, I am just an "outsider" after all.

"Congratulations." Said forced a laugh and said, "You will be able to move soon."

"Hey, thank you." Ergou suddenly sat across from him and said in a low voice, "Ambassador Said, can you lend me some money? Work points are fine."

At present, the conversion between work points and currency is maintained at 1:120, and it is said that this ratio will change in the future.

It is also possible to abolish the work point system entirely.

Because Said heard a voice saying that the production team system is about to be reformed on a large scale.

However, this incident has little impact on them, because everyone believes that even if the work points are cancelled, the chieftain will allow them to complete the exchange first.

The work points will not become waste paper, and the previous labor will not be done in vain.

"Are you short of money?" Saeed asked strangely.

Ergou and the others are all 20 work points a day, so it stands to reason that they are not short of money at all.

And the house price doesn't seem to be high, 200 yuan per square meter.

Purchasing is restricted according to the resident population, and the purchase is limited to [-] square meters per person.

"My own family is just me and my parents, three people." Ergou, who was still very young, said with a smile, "But I have discussed with several other people, and I plan to use my quota to help the former Fakhru, Ordinary people from the two tribes of Avaru also bought the house. The small town of Kamash is still too small, with limited room for development.”

"Oh." Said nodded, "How much do you still need?"

"The more the better!" Ergou said, "You can borrow as much as you can, and I will pay you back if I have money."

"I have more than 2... Let me lend you [-]!"

Said still had a lot of savings before. When Garland City was liberated, most of it was confiscated, and now there are less than [-] left.

"Okay!" Ergou borrowed a pen and paper and wrote an IOU on the spot.

Said took out his mobile phone and transferred money to him.

After finishing this matter, Ergou offered to leave.

Before leaving, Ergou said to Said: "Actually, you don't have to be so entangled in the negotiation. Do you know how the general negotiated when he subdued Elder Bader?"

Said regained his energy and quickly asked, "How did you negotiate?"

"What the hell." Ergou chuckled, "The general drew a cordon at the gate of Old Bader, saying that neither side is allowed to cross the line. Then the next day, he took an armed pickup truck that passed the line by Old Bader." It's done."

Said was shocked, and then showed a thoughtful expression.

Ergou went on to encourage: "Don't have any burdens, and don't be afraid of the collapse of the talk. If the talk breaks down, the brothers will still have the bottom line!"

"Thank you!" Said stood up and sincerely thanked him, but then he asked in a puzzled manner, "Why are you not afraid of failure in the negotiation? Isn't the ultimate goal of negotiating with others not to succeed in the negotiation?"

"Crap!" Er Gou said disdainfully, "What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Who wants to talk about success? How dare you send troops if you talk about success?

"You still haven't figured out what I told you about old Bader, so think about it again!"

After that, Ergou lifted the curtain and went out.

Said stood there in a daze, looking at the flashing sky outside the curtain door, as if he saw a new world suddenly.

Are negotiations designed to fail?

For... why not?

Said thought of what Hassan had repeatedly emphasized to himself, their diplomatic principles:

Don't bow your head, don't give in, and try not to initiate wars.

Said seems to understand a little bit.

Although a bit unbelievable, although a bit of a collapsed world view.

"Jingle Bell……"

Just then, the phone rang suddenly.

Said saw that it was Bugacha Thorpe's secretary.

"Mr. Said, our president T hopes to start a new round of negotiations, you are ready!"

The secretary's words were strong.

This has something to do with Said's constant compromise.

Said took a deep breath and said loudly: "I accept your negotiation request in principle. Please confirm the negotiating team members, and then apply to our concession area for a temporary right of passage. After approval, the specific negotiation time will be determined."

After speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

Holding the mobile phone in his hand, Said's heart was pounding!

He felt that he was playing a very new kind of diplomacy!

……

Outside the tent, Ergou, who was on the phone, suddenly vibrated.

He glanced at the caller ID, and quickly said to the caller: "Okay, let's just say this, I have a full bill of 12, 820 square meters, you can look at the allocation. My call came in, so let's do it first!"

After hanging up on Sanpao, Ergou quickly picked up the call from General Secretary Suoxili.

Two minutes later, Ergou and the general secretary ended the call and turned to look at Saeed's tent.

He said with a smile to himself: "It seems that this kid is finally on the right track."

……

On the northeast sea of ​​Pumice Island.

Two patrol boats flying the flag of the Yemen Navy were coming from the direction of Yemen Socotra Island.

Chapter 283 What is the script?

In the deep water port of Pumice Island, two tugboats are working.

The Dreadnought-class cruiser and two sea scorpion destroyers just finished their trial voyage around the island, returned to the port, and are being pulled into the berth by the tugboat.

The crow was standing on the forecastle deck of the Dreadnought, talking on the phone with Sangbiao.

"How much does the old cat have?" Crow asked in surprise, "20? This dog hangs, where did he get the money? Why do I only have 15!"

Sangbiao said: "His brother's pension is [-] yuan."

"Oh..." Crow remembered that the old cat's brother had died as early as when the first few tribes fought against the wolf army.

"Where is Liangkun, how much does he have?" Crow changed the subject and asked immediately.

"It's almost the same as us." Sangbiao said, "Let's make up, it's definitely not enough, so we can only take our time."

"Don't forget to ask Elder Hassan, Elder Hadidi, and Elder Wenghu Buming to join them." Crow reminded, "These old things have money! If you can't do it, ask the general to borrow some."

"Got it." Sangbiao hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

Crow put away his mobile phone, and saw a soldier running over quickly, and saluted himself: "Master, the Yemen naval patrol ship was found outside the island, and it has approached our side for twelve nautical miles. Do you want to drive away?"

"What twelve nautical miles?" Crow frowned, "Go and shout, tell them that they are forbidden to enter the [-] nautical miles around us, and give them two hours to exit the [-] nautical miles line, or we will kill them directly!"

Twelve nautical miles is the width of the territorial sea stipulated in the Commonwealth Convention on the Seas.

However, Crow himself does not agree with this rule.

Because the attack distance of gunboats in the world has generally exceeded 20 nautical miles.

Twelve nautical miles is obviously not enough.

Forty nautical miles is a more appropriate distance.

As for the convention of the World Federation, hot chicken!

Anyway, Garland is not a member of the World Federation.

A sea scorpion that hadn't had time to berth immediately received an order to leave the port again with full power.

The two machine gun patrol boats took a step ahead, cutting through the waves, cutting two gray water marks, and rushing out of the military port.

Although the name of the machine gun patrol boat sounds silly, it seems to be no different from the "fishing boat reform", similar to an armed pickup.

In fact, these two patrol boats have two 12mm heavy-duty rapid-fire machine guns and a 30mm cannon.

The power can penetrate the armor of almost all warships.

as long as you can get close...

However, with super maneuverability, there is still no problem in hoisting a small boat of the same tonnage.

When Captain Sea Scorpion ordered the ship to sail, he had already found two patrol boats of the Yemen Navy through the small map radar.

The two machine gun patrol boats approached immediately and shouted to each other through loudspeakers.

The two patrol boats of the Yemen Navy were a little larger than the two machine gun patrol boats. Seeing this, they didn't hesitate at all, and rushed straight to the 12 nautical mile line.

"One last warning, exit the 40 nautical mile line immediately, otherwise it will be regarded as an armed provocation, and our boat will open fire without limit!"

"Da da da!"

His answer was a burst of shooting.

Thirty meters away from the port side of the machine gun patrol boat, several balls of spray were hit by bullets.

"Fuck?" The captain felt that the dignity of his patrol ship was greatly offended.

He immediately ordered: "Armed provocation, hit me!"

On the opposite side, on the patrol boat of the Yemen Navy, the machine gunner reported to the captain: "The warning shot has been completed!"

"Very good!" The captain nodded and said, "Let them face difficulties and t..."

"Tom!"

Before the captain finished speaking, he was interrupted by a loud noise.

"boom!"

The whole ship shook violently instantly, and was forced to deviate from the direction on the spot.

The starboard and starboard sides of the bow were directly pierced by a 30mm cannon!

Due to the high speed and sudden change of direction, the patrol boat almost turned over directly.

The armor of ships is generally relatively thin. No matter how thick it is, it cannot hold a single shell from the large-caliber main gun, let alone anti-ship missiles.

Just make them thinner.
