From arms dealer to king of war

Qiao Liang looked at Boss Qiao with some excitement and said, "Destroying the poppy fields and planting food instead is an urgent need for the Tower L class at this stage.

Because when external aid is cut off, they need to find ways to increase food production in order to maintain domestic stability.

‘Anti-drugs’ is first of all a condition for gaining recognition from the international community. Secondly, it also allows them to obtain more food sources while showing their determination. "

Qiao Jia smiled and nodded and said, "Also, think about it again..."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Liang frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Warlord?"

"The enemy!"

Choga laughed and said: "Afghanistan has about 14 million hectares of arable land, but due to water conservancy issues, only about 8 million hectares are currently in operation.

Those 300,000 hectares of poppy fields are actually nothing compared to the entire cultivated land area of ​​Afghanistan.

From our perspective, the purpose of banning drugs in Taliban is to win the trust of the international community and increase food production.

But from the perspective of Class L, drug control is of great benefit to them!

This is ‘righteousness’!

Putting aside the fact that the Taliban's doctrine itself rejects drugs, what do you think "righteousness" means to the current Afghan Khan? "

Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his face vigorously, and said: "Most of Ah Qiong Khan's opium cultivation is controlled by those warlords and tribes. Once 'anti-drugs' becomes the basis for Ah Qiong Khan to gain recognition from the international community, For important issues, Taliban can use political means to legalize 'drug control'.

Once this consensus is reached, Class L can hold a big stick!

By standing on the high ground of legal principles, we can abandon external interference and conduct war legally.

If those warlord tribes obediently destroy poppy fields, they will lose an important source of income and lose their strength.

If they are disobedient, they will be excluded from the political system of Afghanistan because of their "illegality", and they will be suppressed all the time, and the outside world will not even be able to intervene. "

After hearing this, Qiao Jia gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Look, farming to increase production is absolutely politically correct, and prohibiting drugs is also politically correct...

For the Taliban, this is not simply the 'right thing'. As long as these people are smart enough, these 'right things' can be politicized and weaponized.

For a political organization, this is a unique weapon that cannot be missed!

The only problem now is that they probably haven't discovered this magical weapon yet, and they can't control this weapon from hurting themselves. "

Qiao Jia looked at his younger brother and said with a smile: "How about it, do you want to try to mediate and feel the feeling of a big shot who really decides the life and death of tens of thousands of people?"

This time Qiao Liang did not flinch, but looked at Boss Qiao and said, "Can I really do this?"

"sure!"

Qiao Jia put his arm around Qiao Liang's shoulders and said with a smile as he walked: "You are my brother, the boss of Jia Liang Trading.

Afghanistan’s annual GDP of US$14.3 billion is less than one-tenth of Jialiang Trading’s annual revenue.

Xiao Liang, you are the helmsman of a giant beast. As long as you can calm down, what does Tower L mean?

You have to know that at this stage, about 40% of Afghanistan's foreign exchange income comes from the drug trade. As long as the anti-drug campaign begins, if Taliban does not want to go bankrupt, it must ask you for help.

We are not taking the path of plunder. There is no point in creating conflicts for them. Helping the Taliban to forge "anti-drug" political weapons is helping them form a unified regime as much as possible and maintain political stability.

Of course, it can also increase the irreplaceability of P·B and Jialiang trade.

Drug control is beneficial to the Taliban, the Afghans, the local people, you, me, my old mother, and the international community. Only the tribal warlords are unlucky.

Taliban's use of this weapon will cause sequelae, but as long as we hold the Kandahar line, P·B and Jialiang Trade will have the antidote!

Xiaoliang, even if they disagree, we have no loss...

This is a negotiation you can never lose!

Go try it!

It is very exciting to lead the destiny of a country! "

Qiao Liang is no longer the young college student he was back then. After pondering for a long time, he solemnly nodded and said, "I want to give it a try!"

As he spoke, Qiao Liang took out a notebook, opened it, and wrote down a few key elements of the negotiation with a signature pen. Then he looked at Boss Qiao and said, "Brother, do you have any specific requirements?"

Qiao Jia laughed and said: "Profit is the responsibility of Jialiang Trading, as for me...

My combined battalion equipment was sponsored by my old mother, military expenses were raised by NATO, and the Pentagon left me a huge amount of arms, which I can exchange for money at any time.

Tell me, what else is worth asking for in this poor place like Aqionghan...

Whether it's counter-terrorism, drug control or preventing humanitarian disasters, we are all helping the Taliban, and they should be the ones begging us..."

As he spoke, Qiao Jia patted Qiao Liang's shoulder hard and said with a smile: "Xiao Liang, don't let the details affect your judgment, and don't let them misunderstand that we want something from them!

At our level, business is not about simply taking money from the other party, but convincing the other party that they can win together with you, and then using the other party's victory to gain political convenience and gain profits from other places.

For example, I took advantage of the Afghan issue to get enough compensation from NATO and the United States...

For example, Jialiang Trade can make more money by launching a larger-scale trade that can benefit more people through the influence of the Tower L class.

Send in what they need, ship out what they are willing to sell, help them build, help them develop.

P·B makes money by selling security, and Jialiang Trade can reap huge dividends by promoting development.

As long as we can restrain our greed, as long as you and I can maintain deterrence, this model can be maintained for a long time.

Xiaoliang, put down the specific issues. Your responsibility is to let them see the general direction clearly and convince them to believe in the theory we mentioned. Let them choose the rest and raise specific matters by themselves!

If they don’t agree with our theory, it’s their loss, but if they agree with our theory and come to us, then they will not only give us adequate compensation, but also sincerely say ‘thank you’! "

After hearing this, Qiao Liang silently put away his notebook, nodded and said: "As for how to convince them to believe me, there are still some links that I don't think too clearly.

But brother, you made it clear enough!

This time I want to think it through myself. Three days is enough. After three days, you can help me make an appointment with them to talk. "

When Qiao Jia saw Qiao Liang's appearance, he knew that he was still stuck in the details...

Qiao Liang is a science student and a pragmatic person by nature, so he can use contagious words like a big brother to seduce the other person and seduce the other person in a good direction, but he can't do it.

Moreover, Qiao Liang knew that he lacked sufficient international influence and could not use political issues as freely as his elder brother to bring Ta L class into his rhetoric.

What Qiao Liang wants is to figure out what he can do and sort out the chips in his hand from an economic perspective.

Only in this way can we give some constructive answers when facing the problems of Class L, and then attract them to follow their own ideas.

This is actually what Boss Qiao initially did in Sangha Town in Central Africa, but Qiao Liang did it more meticulously, and he himself did not have the ability to draw a cake like a god like his elder brother, so he needed to be more prepared.

This approach lacks the momentum of a top boss, but Qiao Jia can understand his brother's problem, and of course he has to support him...

Negotiations are inherently unwinnable, and being more detailed may make them more convincing.

In the future, Qiao Liang will one day be able to break out of this box, seek entry points from a more macro perspective, and solve problems to earn profits.

Qiao Jia did not interfere with Qiao Liang on this matter. He patted his brother on the back hard and said with a smile: "Whatever you want, let me know when you are ready..."

With that said, just when Qiao Jia wanted to take his brother for a walk around Kandahar Air Force Base, the voice of 'Tony' came from the radio...

"Haha, boss, you'd better come and take a look, Tower L has sent their police team here..."

Qiao Jia was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "What the hell?"

"Hahaha, SWAT Team L, I can't believe what I saw.

Boss, come and take a look quickly, otherwise I'm afraid I'll laugh to death. "

Qiao Jia rubbed his temples after hearing this, and then realized that he promised Tower L class yesterday that he could help them train a group of security teams.

This group of people didn't even give a clear reply, but sent a team of 'special police' over in advance. The only explanation was that Ahunzhali nodded, but they had not reached a unified opinion internally.

They first sent people over to test the waters. Whether they wanted to see Boss Qiao's sincerity or express their sincerity in cooperation, Boss Qiao didn't know.

But Boss Qiao really doesn't care, because they are all things that need to be carried out in his plan.

This group of people will be trained together when they arrive. After a period of time, the people who are sent will be screened, and then a group of international police forces will be organized through the United Nations to provide them with detailed training.

Listening to Tony's constant urging on the radio, Qiao Jia simply found a car and rushed to P·B's station in a few minutes.

When the car drove in, Qiao Jia saw a large number of stranded NATO soldiers watching around.

He got out of the car with a frown, and was escorted by the bat team who came over to greet him. He walked to the door of the command post, and then he saw the 'Ta L Squad Special Police' in the open space in front of the command post...

A Humvee that must have been captured was carrying a few guys who looked like they had some identity, and 50 weather-beaten motorcycles were carrying 100 Taliban soldiers wearing traditional Afghan clothing and turbans.

This group of people must have been carefully dressed. Although their clothes were shabby, they were still relatively clean.

Weapons are their only decoration. The motorcyclist has an AK hanging on his chest, and the guy on the back seat is awesome. An RPG and four rockets are strapped to his back, like a peacock with its tail spread.

The P·B soldiers did not collect their weapons because the AKs did not have magazines and the RPG ropes were fastened to their backs, and they would definitely not be able to remove them themselves.

They must have been specifically told that this group of people were riding on motorcycles in a serious and unsmiling manner, and their military appearance was quite respectable to be honest.

Although he looked poor and arrogant, Qiao Jia didn't see anything too funny...

Just when Boss Qiao wanted to ask what was going on, the door of the Hummer was pushed open, and a bearded man strode and kicked and raised his legs like a soldier from Pakistan border fighting with an army from India. Walking towards the steps in front of the command department...

But I don’t know if he didn’t learn well, but the way this guy was on the same page made Boss Qiao say ‘Pfft’, and then turned around with his hands covered...

In order to prevent himself from losing his composure too much, Qiao Jia turned around and rested his head on Ayou's shoulder, trying hard to recall the sad events in the past to prevent himself from losing his composure in front of others...

After taking a few deep breaths, Qiao Jia whispered to Ayou who had put the mask on his face: "Let that guy stop, I will go down the steps to say hello to him, otherwise I am worried that he will fall when he goes up the stairs..."

Ayou said with a trembling voice: "Boss, how do you think the NATO people lost?"

Qiao Jia was a little confused at the moment. Logically speaking, Class L wanted to save face, so they shouldn't make a fool of themselves with such a guy...

As a result, they did just that, which made Boss Qiao a little bit suspicious of whether there was anything special about this guy who could barely walk...

Boss Qiao soon understood the reason, and discovered that Class L might have really sent them here with great sincerity...
