Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Now that Ozal has agreed, things will be much easier to handle; Colonel Ka is very helpful and directly hands over the 2 tons of gold he brought with him to Bao Zixuan. As for the rest, we plan to use ground-effect aircraft for transportation; to cooperate with Libya, it is better to get the money first to avoid the other party cheating.

Colonel Ka has no objection to this. The initiative has never been in Libya's hands; the only way to get weapons and equipment is to make money again.

As long as the oil resources are not exhausted, Libya will not have to worry about money! Moreover, Bao Zixuan’s business reputation is well-known throughout the world. Doing business with anyone must be fair and just; do not deceive anyone; be an absolutely conscientious businessman!

Besides, there is no need to offend a country for such a small amount of money, and Bao, the richest man, cannot afford to offend that person!

This time, Colonel Ka also kept a secret for the Turks; he did not give the money directly, fearing that the Turks would turn their backs on him after receiving the money. Now directly taking out an oil field will tightly tie the interests of both parties together; at least until the oil field is fully exploited, the Turks will definitely not dare to fall out.

If that's the case, even if Libya is weak, there will still be no problem in destroying the oil fields. Then no one will think about it!

Ozal naturally understands the crux of the problem, but at this moment Turkey has no other choice; its own oil reserves are not very rich, and except for tourism, other industries are unsatisfactory. Therefore, if you want to stimulate economic development, you really cannot do without Libya's oil supply.

Wanting to obtain low-price oil in other Arab countries is tantamount to wishful thinking; Colonel Ka took the initiative to come to the door, and he himself did not suffer much loss to Turkey, so why not do it!

If Libya harms Turkey's interests, Özal will only smile lightly; it has only a few million people, and there are so many enemies; Colonel Ka can only curry favor with him, so how can he dare to harm Turkey?

Even if the military strength is strengthened, the impact on Turkey will not be said to be zero, but it can also be said to be minimal.

The same is true for the Turkish military, so when the Soviet fighter planes entered Turkish airspace, they were just diverted and did not do anything extraordinary.

As for railway transportation, priority is also given to the Libyan side; the Turks, who have always been undisciplined, rarely have high efficiency; they can transport weapons and equipment to the port within a week.

The Libyan side was also well prepared and took advantage of the darkness to transport weapons, equipment and technical personnel directly to its military base. Everything went very smoothly, even beyond imagination.

Of course the Americans knew about it and had warned Türkiye, but they didn't listen at all. In addition, the United States also needed Turkey to contain the Soviet Union and did not dare to take drastic measures.

If that were the case, the weird Turkey might cause some trouble.

Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, Americans still knew how to restrain themselves when doing things. Once Lao Maozi falls, there won't be so many scruples; perhaps Turkey also saw this and dared to be so unscrupulous.

After all the dust settled and the first batch of weapons and equipment was shipped to Libya, the Soviet Union decided to hold a press conference in Moscow.

Everything was driven by the richest man Bao. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to stimulate the French.

In recent years, Dassault has had a difficult time; so has France as a whole. France, as the sovereign state of Libya, the president's eldest son came to buy fighter jets; and they were not the latest models, but they didn't even give them any face.

You must know that the Libyan side did not even repay the price, which is definitely sincerity; but even so, it still did not impress the French. Now that fighters and missiles are purchased directly from the Soviet Union, who will think of France in the future?

When it comes to which country in the world pays the most attention to the African continent, the Gallic Rooster definitely takes the cake. After all, they have more interests in Africa than any other country; if they reject Libya now, they will reject other countries in the future.

Once the most important hole is opened, it is very difficult to close it. With an arms deal, Libya will not purchase any weapons and equipment from France in the next 20 years; and it also gives the Soviets free money, which is like losing money to grandma's family.

Everything is caused by the Americans, if that's okay; the French are too cowardly!

At this time, in the office of the chairman of Dassault Company, his subordinates were reporting to Dassault II on Muhammad's situation in the Soviet Union.

As a world-renowned fighter aircraft manufacturer, Dassault’s strength is far stronger than imagined. Its own intelligence system is not weak at all. As the main competitor, what news does the Soviet Union have? Especially when it comes to the sale of fighter jets, we can still know a little bit.

The assistant said very seriously: "After Muhammad left Paris, he flew directly to Moscow."

"This time the Soviet Union attaches great importance to it and has given the Libyans enough respect. Deputy Minister of Defense and Minister of General Armament Department Ustinov Jr. personally came to the airport to greet him, which shows that the Soviet Union is bound to win!"

"After that, we took a bus to the test flight base outside Moscow and arranged for the pilots to perform."

"The Soviet Union has used all its resources and displayed all its advanced fighter jets. The number of fighter jets purchased by the Libyans this time has reached more than 100, as well as some anti-aircraft missiles; the value should exceed 15 billion US dollars."

At this moment, the phone on the desk suddenly rang.

I didn't want to answer it, but I saw it was an emergency call; even if I was in a bad mood, I could only answer it first.

A familiar voice came from the other side: "Mr. Dassault, let me tell you good news. The United States has agreed to France selling fighter jets to Libya."

Hearing this, Dassault II became even more angry; it was obvious that he was treating himself as a fool, and the Americans were really good at calculating.

The call was made by President Mitterrand himself, thinking that he could earn a favor in front of Dassault II; he did not expect that it would backfire.

The president cannot continue to do so, but Dassault II can always be in charge of Dassault; even if it is not him, it will be his descendants in the future. Therefore, in many cases, the face of big entrepreneurs is still taken into consideration. That’s when I decided to call in person to see if there was any room for recovery!

Dassault II was not polite and said directly: "Mr. President, what do you mean, are you here to see Dassault's joke? Or is it that the French intelligence system has been completely destroyed by the enemy."

"Don't you know, the Libyan side has reached an agreement with the Soviets; and a press conference is about to be held."

"Are the Americans here specifically to disgust us? I really doubt whether you are the president of the French or a puppet of the United States."

After speaking, he hung up the phone without any hesitation; without giving the other party any chance to explain. I am really angry today, otherwise the president would still be given the necessary respect.

To talk about why Mitterrand made this call, we have to go back half an hour ago.

Knowing that the Soviet Union had reached an agreement with Libya, the U.S. Ambassador to France also wanted to redeem it. After all, the Soviet Union has never been threatened by the United States, and Lao Maozi is not the one who takes offense.

We can only continue to hope that the French will get the order back, so that they can manipulate the delivery; the ultimate goal is to make Colonel Card lose his wife and soldiers, and not even get a screw! At the same time, the Soviet Union is not allowed to make money. It can be said that it kills multiple birds with one stone; at least it is much better than direct pressure. As for the damage to France's international reputation, what does it have to do with the United States?

So he went directly to French President Mitterrand and said that the United States would no longer block the trade of fighter jets between France and Libya.

Mitterrand did not focus on Libya, and of course he did not know that the other party had reached an agreement with the Soviet Union. After the US ambassador left, he called Dassault II directly; he wanted to inform the other party of the good news as quickly as possible.

If it had been a few minutes at night, perhaps there would not have been such a big mistake; the head of the intelligence department was already outside the office, but because the US ambassador had not left, it was difficult to come in directly.

Dassault II had a good temper. When did he get so angry? It wasn't until the head of the intelligence department reported the matter that Mitterrand realized that he had been tricked by the US ambassador.

But Dassault II didn't know this, and thought that the president came here deliberately to disgust him; it would be strange not to get angry!

At this moment, Mitterrand was extremely disgusted with the United States, and it was clear that he did not want to make things easier for himself; he had to think of some way to stimulate Uncle Sam; otherwise, the French would really be easy to bully!

The top priority is to appease Dassault II, otherwise don't talk about re-election; life after leaving office will not be easy. When I think of this, my resentment towards the Americans increases even more. Fortunately, as the president, it is not difficult to help a company, especially a military industry company!
