Chapter 279 Young and Promising
Gao Yi has plenty of money now, but he has more than just money.

Compared to his not-so-rich family background, Gao Yi's resources and connections are the basis for him to be a big brother to others.

Is Khalid a particularly worthy investment?
It’s hard to say, because there are too many things to consider when investing in and supporting a younger brother. Just like now Shaman and Marina are willing to invest in Gao Yi, that’s because they see the value of Gao Yi and they are willing to invest in Gao Yi.

Glass from the Defense Secret Operations Agency and Martin from the FBI have tied their lives and fortunes to Gao Yi. The reason is that Gao Yi can give them things that no one else can give them. Their cooperation with Gao Yi is an effect where one plus one is greater than two.

Now Gao Yi wants to vote for Khalid because he has no other choice. No matter what Khalid's character or ability is, he can only vote for Khalid.

Yes, Gao Yi was already seriously considering betting on Khalid, because of the situation and because Gao Yi suddenly discovered that investing in Khalid was profitable.

Where is the benefit?

It was because of what Gao Yi said unintentionally just now. He said that Khalid had persisted in the struggle for so many years and this was the reward he deserved.

I didn't mean it when I said it, but after I said it I became a reminder to myself.

Right, if Khalid is the only service provider in the Libyan market, does that count as a monopoly?

If we can monopolize the anti-American armed business in the Libyan market, wouldn't it be very profitable?

The five million was originally intended to be used to save one's life, but now no matter how one looks at it, it really can be used as an initial investment, which can be used for subsequent continuous investment, or even for increased investment.

Looking at the environment here, this is a secret base that Khalid has been operating for a long time. Although it will be exposed soon, it still has all the functions it should have.

The carpet factory can be disguised as having many workers, and these workers are soldiers who come to work every day, and their coming and going will not arouse too much suspicion.

Then there is the secret passage. Although it is a bit simple, it finally physically separates the disguised identity from the real identity. This alone shows that Khalid has brains.

In the entire Middle East, anti-American armed forces that can do this are considered to have brains. To say that they are just noobs fighting each other is a compliment to them. Just looking at those war examples, it sometimes seems ridiculous.

The Libyans really don't know how to fight. Even after many years of learning in war, they still can't learn how to fight.

Khalid was able to run a secret base in Tripoli for several years without being discovered, which shows that he is a standout in terms of ability.

Of course, you can also say it is picking a general from a group of short men.

So Khalid now has three advantages. He has been able to fight the Americans for so many years, which shows that he is persistent and courageous. He can manage the secret base very well, which shows that he has some brains.

And seeing that Khalid also has his own doctor, it shows that he at least has a sense of crisis, and this is the fourth advantage.

After getting the money, he was able to quickly change his words and put himself in the right position. This is Khalid’s fifth advantage, which shows that he knows when to advance and when to retreat.

In this land of Libya, in this cultural circle, there are many weirdos who are ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and who cannot distinguish between the great and the small. There are also many fools who are supported by others and have to act like masters to their masters.

Why does a person like Shaman feel comforted from the bottom of his heart when he meets Gao Yi? It’s because he doesn’t even have someone who can flatter him.

With these five advantages, this little brother is worthy of support, but there is one last problem. If this problem is solved, we can really strongly support a puppet armed force.

Of course, the pattern can also be bigger, with a win-win situation instead of hegemony, and Khalid's armed forces can be treated as an equal partner rather than a puppet that can be abandoned at any time. But that is something to consider in the future, and it depends on how Khalid performs.

People who do great things never hesitate. From the time an idea comes to mind to the time they make the decision, it only takes ten minutes in total.

Gao Yi finally looked at Khalid, and then he said calmly, "It's been ten minutes, let's see how the operation is going."

Khalid said without hesitation: "I'll go see how far the operation has progressed."

Without giving a perfunctory reply or asking his men to go to the operating room to take a look, Gao Yi asked casually and Khalid immediately stood up and went to see for himself.

The execution and attitude are both good, very good.

Khalid went to take a look and came back in less than two minutes. Then he said to Gao Yi, "The doctor said the operation will take an hour. We don't have plasma, but we have blood products. There is no problem supplying the wounded with blood transfusions. The wounded's condition is not very good now, but his life is not in danger and he will not be disabled. It's just that a piece of the wounded body is missing. There will be a big scar in the future, which will inevitably affect his walking. But this is the best result that can be treated for this position and this kind of injury. Even if he is sent to a large hospital, there are some advantages in postoperative care. The operation itself will hardly make any difference. Generally speaking, this is the best result."

Gao Yi asked one question, and Khalid answered one, two, three, four, five, telling all the answers that Gao Yi wanted to know but didn't ask.

Talent, this is it.

Gao Yi couldn't help but look at Khalid, and then he suddenly asked: "How old are you this year?"

"32. I was born in 1985." "Well, that's good. I'm young and promising."

It was a little awkward for Gao Yi, who was in his early twenties, to praise Khalid, who was in his early thirties, for his youth and potential, but no one present objected.

Gao Yi paused for a moment and continued: "You speak English very well."

"Before the civil war broke out, I studied in the UK. My father was an officer in the Fikaza government army and our family was well off."

Gao Yi immediately asked, "Then you are leading people to oppose the United States now, is it because of your father? Do you want to avenge him?"

"Not entirely. I just want to drive the Americans out. Libya should be Libya for the Libyans."

It's not all about personal grudges, but rather a great ideal.

"How many men do you have?"

"If I say that the people I directly lead are about 200 people, but the whole of Libya supports me. This support is invisible, but it is the reason why I can persist in the struggle until now."

OK, he only has 200 people under him, but he got the support of the entire country as soon as he opened his mouth. He is thick-skinned and can talk big, so he is a qualified politician.

Gao Yi finally asked the core question that he had been preparing for for a long time.

Gao Yi looked nonchalant and calm as he smiled and said, "Where has the funding for your activities come from over the years? The money earned from the carpet factory is probably not enough, so do you rely on public donations, or do you rely on fighting to support the war, or do you have any financial backers to support you?"

This question is the core issue.

If Khalid has other financial supporters, it will be too late for Gao Yi to take action, because it means he needs to seize control of Khalid from a country.

Khalid nodded, and then he said calmly and seriously: "We have many sources of funds. A small part is self-raised, and there are also donations from supporters, which account for about half. It is unrealistic to fight to support the war. The attacks and battles we launched against the Americans will not bring any benefits. Every battle will only consume but not bring any benefits. So we did have financial support in the past."

Gao Yi tilted his head slightly and said, "Oh, who will provide the funds?"

“Free range chicken.”

Gao Yi had not expected this name. He frowned slightly and said, "Country Chicken?"

"Yes, after the rise of ACE, they also contacted us. They wanted to recruit us, but I decisively refused. I would not have any contact with an anti-human organization like ACE. After the Syrian war began, Turkey began to fund us, giving us two million dollars in funding and some equipment. But since the situation in Syria stabilized and ACE began to collapse, especially after Turkey began to personally intervene, they stopped supporting us financially."

Gao Yi knew that he could not compete with a country, but according to Khalid, the total financial support was only two million US dollars, which was not as much as he gave at one time, so the financial support was as good as nothing.

Ultimately it is due to the geographical location. Khalid mainly operates in Tripoli, and he doesn't like local chickens, so naturally he won't spend a lot of money.

Gao Yi began to think deeply. He thought for a long time and finally said, "Judge what will happen next."

Khalid said without hesitation: "Our secret base has been exposed, but the Libyan National Army is slow to react. Without the Americans' push, it would be good if they can find us by this time tomorrow. Even if they are sure that this is the location, the Libyan puppet government will not invest too much effort in the search."

"why?"

"Because there is no profit, only deaths. Especially if you push me into a corner, I will retaliate. Those high-ranking figures can hide in a safe place, but those who do the actual work have to think carefully before dealing with me."

Gao Yi suddenly realized, and said, "I see. What if the Americans get involved?"

Khalid seemed a little hesitant. After thinking for a moment, he said, "It depends on the intensity. We don't have to worry about a small-scale raid. I will receive news after they enter the old city. Someone will tip me off and I can lead people to hide. But if they surround the entire old city and engage in a large-scale street fight, then... it will be difficult for us."

After finishing speaking, Khalid gently spread his hands and said, "If the National Army carrying out the capture mission thinks that I will escape and have the ability to retaliate after escaping, they will be cautious and dare not go too far. But if they think that I am dead, then they will kill me. Even if it is just to avoid my revenge, they will do their best to kill me. By the way, Tripoli has not carried out such a large-scale battle for three years. According to common sense, they will not make any big moves."

Gao Yi said without hesitation: "What if, because of me, the Americans push the Libyan puppet army to go all out, to the point of turning the entire city upside down to find us? How will you respond?"

Khalid was silent for a moment, then he looked at Gao Yi and said, "That means you are really powerful. The Americans and the puppet government treat you like this, which means you are very strong. In this case, I will protect you and help you escape from Tripoli. You can't resist me head-on."

Khalid actually did not answer Gao Yi's question directly, he chose to avoid the main point.

But Gao Yi was very satisfied with Khalid's answer, so he smiled and said, "Very good, very good. Next, let's talk about how to cooperate. You heard it clearly, it's cooperation."
