Arms starts with hyenas in the Middle East

Chapter 423 Strategic Alliance
"You want me to be the Habsburg's white glove?"

Sean narrowed his eyes, leaned forward slightly, and stared at Ryan like a poisonous snake.

"NoNoNo, of course not, Sean. White gloves can be discarded at any time, but strategic allies can advance and retreat together. We will not harm our allies, and this will not harm you, right?"

Ryan felt his scalp tingling when he was stared at. He swore that this was the first time he had encountered such a malicious look. He even suspected that if he said something wrong, the other party would grab a gun and shoot him to death on the spot.

Sean just stared at him, neither agreeing nor refusing, until Ryan's hair stood on end. Then he suddenly smiled: "Okay, whether it's white gloves or strategic alliances, we already have PMC business under RFG. If you need it, we will naturally provide it. But, Ryan, never think of leaving me aside and playing by yourself. Believe me, if you really do that, please don't fall into my hands, otherwise you will regret coming to this world."

Sean is somewhat reluctant to serve as a white glove for others. Hasn't he even used another PMC company as a white glove?

But he changed his mind and realized that what Ryan said was indeed the truth. He needed the channels and resources controlled by the Habsburgs. Once the two sides reached a consensus, RFG's development would be much more convenient in the future. For him, the benefits would definitely outweigh the disadvantages. Moreover, he had no objection to doing some dirty work. The group itself had many employees willing to do such things. For example, in the last operation in Germany, Can's team was just one of them. If it was a very dirty and troublesome job, he could also let the old men in Dane's company do it. It would just be a matter of paying them more dollars.

"Of course not, Sean. All of Habsburg's channels and resources can be provided to you and serve you. As a gift, I have prepared a 15-story underground weapons laboratory for you, and it also comes with an underground airport. Habsburg is sincere, and time will prove everything."

Ryan had a confident smile on his face. He remembered that Sean's underground laboratory seemed to have only five floors, which was too stingy.

"Underground laboratory?"

Sean's pupils shrank. There were 15 floors of underground laboratories, and an underground airport was also built. This was really terrifying when people thought about it carefully. Could it be that the Habsburg family wanted to revive their Habsburg dynasty?

Otherwise, what are they secretly researching underground?
Moreover, a 15-story underground laboratory is a huge undertaking. You should know that there is no underground building in the world that can reach floors. The construction cost of underground buildings is much higher than that of ground buildings.

"Yes, the underground laboratory, but it has been abandoned for many years. Because it has not been used for a long time, it needs some repairs. Of course, we can do it for you."

As soon as Ryan saw Sean's expression, he knew that the other party had taken the bait. The other party should not dislike such an underground facility. It is safe and hidden, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if he cannot use such a large facility now due to lack of manpower, with the other party's eager attitude to recruit talents, there will definitely be more and more researchers affiliated with the RGG Group in the future, and this underground laboratory will definitely be of use. Moreover, the Habsburgs can provide a group of weapons experts to the RFG Group in the early stage.

"This is a big gift. The construction cost of the underground building is not low."

Sean said faintly.

"We think you are worthy of such an investment, Sean. You have great potential for development. We need such an ally. Close cooperation between the two sides will only benefit us and will not cause any harm."

Ryan shook his head. He didn't think that the investment cost was too high. First of all, the building was not built by the Habsburgs. They just discovered and occupied it, and they had no use for it. They gave it to Sean just to show their appreciation. What could the Habsburgs get?

A powerful armed group with good development potential will make it much easier to eliminate competitors in the future. The interests of various war-torn areas will also be firmly protected. Moreover, they will be able to be bolder and buy more mineral resources for mining, which will be enough for them to make money back.

"I have to say, I can't seem to find a reason to refuse."

Sean had already agreed. This underground laboratory was a complete surprise. As for the need for repairs, that was not a difficult task at all. The difference between repair and construction was huge, and the difficulty was incomparable.

"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

"Happy cooperation!"

After reaching a consensus, both sides smiled, and then discussed some details of the cooperation. After all, this was not a one-time cooperation, but a long-term cooperation between the two parties. As long-term allies, many details were naturally needed, and it was not just a matter of reaching a consensus on the general direction.

……

On Monday, the negotiation team from the Windsor family was led by Prince William's younger brother, named Henry Charles Albert Mountbatten Windsor, Duke of Sussex, also commonly known as Prince Harry. Compared with William's excellence, he is actually equally excellent, even better than William in some aspects, but he has two fatal flaws, one of which is that he has a bad habit of inhaling laundry detergent. This alone is enough to make Queen Elizabeth give up on him, not to mention that he privately admires the former Nazi. With these two flaws, he is completely cut off from the ranks of heirs to the British royal family. Queen Elizabeth would never allow a prince who might bring scandal to the entire British Empire to succeed to the throne, even if it has not been exposed yet, but this thing is like a bomb, which will be detonated one day, so although he is the fifth in line to the throne of the British royal family on the surface, as long as Queen Elizabeth does not pass away, he will only be the fifth in line to the throne and will never be able to become king, of course.

This is not to say that there is no chance. As long as his private affairs are not exposed, things may turn around after Prince Charles ascends to the throne. If Prince William is still alive, it would indeed be impossible, but now that William is gone, he has this opportunity.

It was precisely for this reason that he saw the opportunity, so he became active again. Not only did he begin to frequently appear in front of the media to show off, he also took the initiative to lead a team to negotiate with Sean. As long as the matter of Mali could be negotiated, he would have preserved the vested interests of the royal family, which was particularly important to him.

"Hello, are you the negotiation team of the British Royal Family?"

As soon as Prince Harry's team walked out of the airport, they were greeted by a sturdy man with a slightly bald head.

"Are you from RFG Group?"

Prince Harry asked, looking up and down at the bald, muscular man in front of him.

"I'm Gwen, an employee of RFG Group. I'm in charge of meeting you at the airport. Our boss is waiting for you at the headquarters. Please follow me."

Gwen stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation. Although he hated the way the other party looked at him as if he were commodities, he did not show it on the surface. He was very clear about his position. In the eyes of these big shots, they, the employees, were really no different from commodities. This was not the first time that he was looked at in this way.

This is how the world is. In the eyes of those big shots, ordinary people are commodities, and outstanding people are commodities of better quality. Only people who are the same as them are their kind.

"Very well, let's go."

Prince Harry followed the other party's instructions and got into the Cadillac in the middle. He had no idea of ​​Gwen's mental activities. Of course, even if he knew, he would not care. It was not important to them whether the goods had emotions or not. The important criterion was whether they were useful or not.
After arriving at the RFG Group headquarters, Prince Harry immediately formed a basic evaluation of Sean the first time he saw him. A ferocious jackal!
"Hi, Mr. Sean, I've heard from my brother a long time ago that there is a very outstanding Chinese who completed the class leap from a peasant to a wealthy man in just one year. Today I finally met the real person, which made my trip worthwhile!"

Prince Harry was wary and admiring of Sean. Although this man was as ferocious as a wolf or a tiger, he had to admit that he was a character. At least a year ago, if Sean sat in front of him, he would not even look at him, but now he could sit here with him to discuss cooperation. However, after greeting Sean, his gaze shifted to Ryan next to him, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

As the heir of the Habsburg family and also one of the most famous nobles in Europe, he was certainly familiar with him, but he was a little confused as to why this guy appeared here.

Could it be that he also came for the little benefit that William left behind?

Thinking of this, Prince Harry instantly became more alert: "I wonder who this gentleman is..."

"Lian, Lane von Habsburg, the heir to the Habsburg family. I think Prince Harry should be familiar with him, right?"

Sean half-squinted his eyes and could tell what this guy was thinking at a glance, but he didn't point it out. He didn't want the two of them to get along happily. It would be best if they could have some irreconcilable conflicts. Only the more incompatible the two were, the more it would suit his interests.

If the two of them got along like brothers, he would not be able to sleep well.

"So you're the young master of the Habsburg family. I'm no stranger to you. I'm just a little curious as to why Mr. Habsburg is here today. Is he here to buy a plane from Mr. Sean?"

Prince Harry's words sounded a bit sarcastic, but there was nothing he could do. The interests involved in Mali were too great and very important to him. The heir to the Habsburg family appeared here today and might very well be his competitor, causing complications for something that was originally a sure thing. No one would have a good word to say about it.

"Man, I don't like flying a plane. With my skills, I'm afraid the plane will crash. If I accidentally hit Prince Harry, that wouldn't be good."

Ryan certainly wouldn't back down on him. Although they were here to discuss cooperation today and both sides could barely be considered allies in the future, this didn't mean that he would be nice to the other party. They were all nobles, so who was worse than who?

Although your Windsor family is still a royal family, so what? Isn’t the treatment of the royal family becoming increasingly tense?

Do you have the guts to send troops to attack me?
"Mr. Habsburg, you will be the first to die in a plane crash."

Sure enough, Prince Harry's face immediately turned cold and he responded sharply. It could no longer be said that he was sarcastic or had hidden ulterior motives in his words. Instead, he began to curse the other party very directly.

"That doesn't stop it from killing you, does it, Prince Harry?"

Ryan naturally wouldn't be polite. No one is more educated than anyone else. You are frank, so I will be frank too. I just want to kill you. What's that?
"Mr. Habsburg, there is no Habsburg dynasty now, but the Windsor dynasty still exists."

Prince Harry half-narrowed his eyes and his tone was somewhat threatening.

"Oh? Prince Harry, do you mean to say that you want to send troops to attack my Habsburg family? Excuse me, the Windsor dynasty today is not the Windsor dynasty of the past, and the sun never sets today is not the sun never sets in the past. Prince Harry, do you know what you are talking about?"

Ryan leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and looked fearless.

"you!"

Prince Harry was so angry that he was choked and speechless for a moment.

Send troops to attack the Habsburgs?

He doesn't have that much ability, he just nodded to the other party, saying that he is still a royal family, but you are no longer a royal family, and I am much superior to you.

But he didn't expect that the other party would point at his nose and ask him if he wanted to fight?

If he could send troops from the British Empire to Austria to attack the Habsburg family, let alone whether he could do it or not, even if he could do it, he would not dare to do so, because international public opinion would crush him.

"Okay, you two, I think you guys must have some misunderstanding. Why don't you sit down and have a drink and chat? After all, from today on, the three of us are in a cooperative relationship, so don't make things so awkward."

Seeing that the two were arguing to the point of escalating, Sean picked up the red wine on the table and poured a glass for each of them. He didn't want the two to really fight on the spot. If that happened, his living room would be torn down and he would have no one to cry to. If they were in another place, he might just watch the show from the side.

As for whether there will be any disadvantages if everyone makes a scene that looks too ugly?
The answer is yes, of course, but so what?

As long as the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, there's nothing wrong with it.

"Humph!"

Prince Harry snorted coldly and said no more. He gave Sean a face. He was not a brainless reckless man. Naturally, he would not be stupid enough to offend Sean at this critical moment. Otherwise, if Sean sided with Ryan and denied him, it would be a huge blow to him. He could not afford it. He still knew what was important.

"laugh!"

Ryan sneered, picked up the crystal glass on the table and took a sip. He was of course aware of Sean's thoughts, but he did not point it out, and was even willing to cooperate. As for Prince Harry, in his eyes he was just a tool for his performance.
