Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 80 Winner Takes All
At first, Song Heping thought that Turner would attack him because he let the prisoners of Madih's army go.

The result is not.

Turner arrived by helicopter.

It came very quickly.

The reason why I rushed here was because there was some emergency.

This emergency is simple to explain.

Bureaucrats from the Reconstruction Project Committee held a meeting yesterday and passed a resolution requiring that the Hassan Oilfield and the Cook Oilfield must resume production within two months, otherwise the oilfield contract with Wood Company will be cancelled.

Of course, Wood Company reacted strongly to this news and expressed the strongest opposition.

But Mr. Wood soon found that his protests were of no avail.

Ultimately, this matter involves the dispute between donkeys and elephants.

The Hassan and Cook oil fields are large oil fields. Although they are not the largest, their output is definitely ranked in the first tier among all the oil fields in Irigaray.

It is no exaggeration to say that they are two precious lands with golden water flowing.

It was through Saif's arrest that Nancy put pressure on the party to get the reconstruction project committee to approve Wood Company's acquisition of the contract rights for the two oil fields.

As opponents, the Elephant Party and the bigwigs of the military-industrial complex are of course unwilling to just hand over the fat meat, and of course they want to do something bad.

Of course, the contract has been signed, and tearing it up without reason goes against the "spirit of the contract."

So you have to find a reason.

The reason given this time is very high-sounding -

Since the interim government has just been established, a huge amount of money will be needed to rebuild this war-torn country.

It is obviously unrealistic to rely entirely on US grants or loans. It is not that the wealthy Trump cannot come up with the money, but that the funds must be passed by both the Senate and the House of Representatives and then signed by the President. It is difficult to complete an appropriations bill from proposal to discussion to approval in less than half a year.

There is no better idea than to use the profits from the oil fields to build the country directly - of course, this must be said on the surface, but it doesn't matter whether the money is actually invested in reconstruction.

unimportant……

Given this noble reason, restoring oil field production and making it profitable is an urgent matter.

The free market favors the strong.

Those who are capable will occupy it.

Those who are capable will earn it.

It's a winner-takes-all game.

Therefore, if Wood fails to resume production at the two major oil fields of Hassan and Cook within two months, the previous contract will be "legally" canceled.

Mr. Wood, who learned the news, called Nancy and called her a "pig" and "shameless" on the phone, using vulgar language to curse the President and his Elephant Party in a way that was unbecoming of him.

In the end, Nancy also said that she was helpless for the time being.

Even as the whip of the Donkey Party, she could not go directly to the White House to demand accountability for this matter.

Politicians have the dignity of politicians.

The political world has its own way of playing the game.

You can grab food on the table, but you can't overturn the table at will.

Without a table, no one can get a bite of hot food.

So Mr. Wood's call ultimately had no effect and he could only accept this reality.

However, even worse news followed.

Turner in Irigo reported to Mr. Wood that the company's engineers and local employees sent to two oil fields yesterday were attacked by militants. Among the 350 employees in the Cook Oilfield area, two were seriously injured and sent to the hospital, and their current condition is not good.

Wood was furious when he heard the news.

This is like adding insult to injury when it rains.

He was very aware of the security situation in northern Irigo.

Originally, a five-year contract was signed, and it was thought that there was plenty of time to slowly assess the damage to the oil field, then gradually deploy construction personnel to the maintenance facilities, connect new pipelines, establish new transportation fleets and channels, and resume production within a year.

One year.

This span is acceptable to me.

Wood's abacus was also very precise.

Now the coalition forces have almost completely controlled the entire Irigo. Although there are still many places where there is resistance and harassment, the situation will definitely be much more stable in a year. By then, perhaps Shadamu will be caught and put in prison.

The death squads loyal to him will certainly reduce the intensity of resistance.

The Kurdish armed forces in the north have always been funded by the United States, and they will definitely be able to coordinate their interests by then.

The situation in the North will not remain this bad forever.

Wood's gamble was to use four years of production profits to pay for five years of contracting fees.

The project management committee suddenly passed such an ad hoc resolution, which was undoubtedly directed at itself.

Their intentions are as obvious as flies on a bald head.

So Wood asked Turner to go to the two oil fields in person and give a reminder to the head of the defense company responsible for the security of the two oil fields - Wood Energy Company will send more construction personnel to the oil fields, and plans to complete the repair work within two months, and must produce oil products in the third month.

In an office in the living area, Turner revealed the current situation to Song Heping and Rice.

After he finished speaking, he placed his hands on the edge of the table, leaning his upper body forward slightly, looking at the two people at the table like a tiger about to stoop to eat people.

"Gentlemen, Mr. Wood said he hopes your two teams can ensure the safety of our oil fields and our construction progress. In two weeks, the company will make an assessment based on the actual situation. We will then contract the security work for both oil fields to the best team who is more capable of handling this contract. Do you understand me?"

Rice's "Mad Dog" mercenary team is affiliated with Blackwater International. In comparison, Song Heping is now just an independent small defense company.

The former can use Blackwater's resources to do things.

The latter can only rely on themselves.

When it comes to strength, Rice is confident.

"Don't worry, Mr. Turner, I won't let you down. Our team is professional, unlike some improvised ragtag group."

As he spoke, his eyes turned to Song Heping, leaving a few disdainful glances on the latter's face.

Song Heping originally didn't want to bother with Rice, this stinky dog-skin plaster, but this guy kept biting him wherever he saw him, which was really annoying.

So he said, "Strength is built on deeds, not boasts. I heard two workers were seriously injured at Cook Oil Field last night and have been sent to the hospital. You just mentioned a mob, who are the mob?"

"you……"

Someone was injured at Cook Field last night; that was an ironclad fact, something Rice couldn't dispute.

In the end, it was Turner who made the final decision: "Alright, there's no need to argue here. We'll just focus on the actual results. We'll give you a conclusion in two weeks. Goodbye, gentlemen."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

It's not a good place to stay for long, Turner knows it better than anyone else.
