Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 61 Overt and covert fighting
Thomas kept dragging the mouse in front of the computer in his office.

The web page is a media news website, and prominently on it is a photo of him and the "Musician" mercenary group.

In the photo, Song Heping held his neck and made a V-sign, while his expression looked a little funny, and his smile was uglier than crying.

"Thomas."

The voice of Simon, the head of the CIA's Bakda Intelligence Station, came from the door.

"SIR!"

He quickly closed the website and stood up.

Simon had obviously seen the content of the page.

He pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, walked to Thomas and said, "Just now, the cuties of the musicians took away five million dollars."

Thomas's face immediately became hot, and he felt like he had been tricked but he couldn't explain it, and he felt uncomfortable.

"That money shouldn't be theirs, after all we did!"

Simon spread his hands and said: "Forget it, five million is still a small thing. There are more important things to deal with now."

"what's up?"

"This, take a look."

Simon threw a document on the table.

When Thomas picked it up and looked at it, his face turned even darker.

"That old witch Nancy is going to meet the 'musician' guy?"

He couldn't believe his eyes.

Who is Nancy?

That's the whip of the Donkey Party.

This person has always set his sights high, and especially hates China and Russia.

She would actually meet Song Hechu and the others?

Isn't this the sun rising in the west?
"What is she doing?" Thomas said, "Is she trying to embarrass us?"

Simon said: "Thomas..."

He smiled bitterly, thinking that people like Thomas were indeed soldiers and were good at fighting, but when it came to playing power, they were really not on the same level as politicians.

"You underestimate this old witch Nancy."

He got up and walked to the coffee machine, poured himself a cup of coffee, and then returned to Thomas again.

"She came here to express condolences to the officers and soldiers of the coalition forces, and to listen to the interim management committee's report on the establishment of the interim government. In fact, she did not come here for this matter."

"That……"

Thomas thought for a while and seemed to suddenly have an idea.

"She is here to interfere with the project management committee!"

Simon said: "Yes, this time she was on the same plane as Philip Wood, the chairman of Wood Company. It seems that she went there for the oil field contract."

"oilfield?!"

Thomas's heart immediately opened up.

That's what it was for.

The old witch is really useless and can't afford to go early.

While suicide squads and resistance groups still operate in many areas of Irige, the southern part of the country is essentially under control. The oil fields there were destroyed by Shadamu's suicide squads before their departure, with many being set on fire and some simply blown up. Therefore, among the reconstruction projects, the reconstruction of the oil fields and future energy projects are the absolute fattest, and everyone wants a piece of the pie.

The financial backers behind the Donkey and Elephant parties will naturally not let this opportunity pass by and want to get their hands in.

Use the money from the reconstruction funds to restore the oil field to production, and you can make a fortune here. After the construction is completed, through equity acquisition and cooperation, you only need to retain the previous local employees and send some backbones to control an area. oilfield.

The produced oil can be sold around the world, and the profits can be shared with the interim government.

No matter how you look at it, it’s a big deal with a sure profit and no loss.

Wood is Nancy's campaign sponsor, and Nancy will reciprocate the favor by helping Wood get a generous reward in this Illigo War.

"She wants a reconstruction contract for the oil field?" Thomas couldn't help snorting: "I'm afraid it's too late!"

The oil fields in the south have long been taken over by Halliburton, a company where Vice President Cheney once served as CEO. Nancy wants to move what Halliburton has already obtained. Cake is obviously out of the question.

"The oil fields in the north," Simon said. "She wants the oil fields in the north now."

Thomas said: "The oil fields in the north? There is currently a mess there. Local forces, Kurdish armed forces, death squads and local resistance forces are all fighting for it. The military is currently unable to fully control it. Can Wood Company stand there? What’s more, the White House and the military have already negotiated with Halliburton Company, so it’s not the old witch’s turn to interfere!”

"If you said this a few days ago, it might be true." Simon said, "But today is different. I just finished a meeting with the military bosses, and they must have made concessions."

"What!?" Thomas was surprised: "The military actually gave in? Those old men who live alone and live on their dime gave in?!"

Simon said: "Of course, because the arrest of Saif was done by Nancy's niece. Haven't you seen that Angel's reports are overwhelming these days? And it's the media controlled by the Donkey Party that boasts the most. , they just want to make Angel a hero, and take the opportunity to intervene in Saif’s subsequent interrogation and the tracking of Silly Damu’s hiding place.”

"If the military doesn't agree, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to track the gold and Silly Damu. Nancy will create a lot of artificial obstacles, which will also affect us. After all, we and the military are in the same boat now. Therefore, out of considerations of greater interests, the military is willing to make concessions in exchange for the northern oil field contract.”

Thomas remembered the reason why the operation failed, and immediately became short of breath and dared not say anything.

After thinking for a while, he took responsibility and said, "SIR, this is all my fault."

Simon patted him on the shoulder and said: "Fortunately, they were caught. But what it means is that Nancy and Wood can get the oil field contract in the north, but we are not obligated to provide them with any security guarantee..."

"Not provided?" Thomas was stunned.

"It's not that we don't provide it." Simon said: "Wood Company is an American company after all. If something happens, of course it must send out support. We should also provide them with early warning intelligence resources. However, there is a difference in the efficiency of support. You understand me. Do you mean?"

Thomas finally understood and nodded repeatedly: "Understood. When they get tired, they will naturally give up."

The most serious problem in taking over oil fields is that they are often attacked by suicide squads and resistance forces.

Although the coalition forces are powerful, they cannot provide all-round protection, so the daily defense of these oil fields must be handled by mercenaries.

Simon's meaning was very explicit.

Now that Wood Company has obtained the reconstruction contract for the northern oil field with the help of the old witch Nancy, it is obviously impossible to object to it.

Isn't it unsafe over there?

It's just not safe.

When Wood Company has suffered enough, it will naturally leave.

Thinking of this, Thomas couldn't help but admire the skills of these old military and political foxes.

"SIR, what instructions do you have from me?"

"The thing is, you're responsible for contacting those northern forces we've been in contact with, especially those pro-China organizations. Explain the situation to them and tell them what to do. Create just the right amount of trouble for Wood Company so they'll give up."

Thomas's eyes lit up: "I understand!"

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Simon patted Thomas on the shoulder again with a smile, turned around and went out.
