Chapter 310 Network

The really big things can be decided in just a few words.

Abdullah really doesn't take money seriously. Two hundred million US dollars may be an astronomical figure that Gao Yi and others can never earn in their lifetime, but to Abdullah, it is just a number in the fiscal allocation, and a small number at that.

Spending $200 million to buy weapons with a real value of more than 10 million is not a big deal for Saudi Arabia. It is a routine operation.

As for giving away some of their own arms, that would be even less of a problem.

After several years of war, Saudi Arabia has spent at least 80 billion, if not 100 billion, in Yemen, and still cannot win the war, so sending some basic rifles, rocket launchers, etc. is nothing and not worth mentioning at all.

As to who suffered losses in this transaction, no, everyone won.

It was official business to hold a brief meeting in Gao Yi's room, but after the official business was discussed, any specific private matters would naturally be discussed separately.

Cooperation is cooperation, but it’s the first time that cooperation has just begun, and no one knows what the outcome will be, so trust is given, but it is still limited now.

After determining the direction, several people quickly dispersed. The following time was the time for everyone to talk to Gao Yi alone.

Abdullah, who was the investor and half-landowner, was the first to have a private chat with Gao Yi.

"It would be great if we could accomplish this!"

Abdullah is loyal, and this time everything was basically done according to Salman's instructions, so Abdullah's pursuit is also very simple, which is to try his best to get this matter done.

“Can Panetta really be turned into a mole?”

Abdullah is looking forward to it but not very confident. The reason is very simple. The former National Intelligence Agency was a subordinate unit of the CIA and could not keep any secrets. Now it even wants to turn against the CIA. Not to mention such a treacherous statement as inciting the top leaders of the CIA to defect, just being able to get some leverage over Panetta would be a huge victory.

If they could really become roughly equal partners, not only Abdullah but even Salman would wake up laughing.

Gao Yi whispered, "Forget about the mole, but let Panetta be our insider and report any news. This can definitely be done."

"Isn't this a mole?"

It seems so, but a real mole can be completely controlled, and for someone like Panetta, it is obviously unrealistic to completely control it.

"Well, they are just allies. Don't treat them as moles."

Abdullah nodded, and then he whispered, "We will definitely cooperate vigorously this time. You don't have to worry about the activity funds. I'll give you a number, within 500 million US dollars. You don't need to ask His Royal Highness the Prince. I can decide on my own."

Five hundred million.

Gao Yi hesitated for a moment, but in the end he felt that it would be more comfortable to spend the money he earned rather than asking Shaman for money directly.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust and support."

Gao Yi has a high emotional intelligence. Even when facing Abdullah, he knows who to thank.

Abdullah nodded and said, "I'm leaving now. We can talk alone when we have time. They will definitely want to discuss the details with you. I'm leaving now."

A few minutes after seeing Abdullah off, Jolson came over impatiently. After closing the door, Jolson, with a nervous look on his face, couldn't wait to say, "Now I completely believe in your strength. I know your network of relationships is huge and terrifying, but there is a question, is this too arrogant?"

"Arrogant?"

Gao Yi thought about it carefully, and then he asked in confusion: "Where is the arrogance?"

"Is it necessary for the military to deliver the goods themselves? This doesn't seem reasonable."

Gao Yi whispered, "Just like the CIA would seize our arms, the Pentagon doesn't just charge us for shipping, it charges us for protection. It makes sense if you think about it this way."

Jolson nodded, and then he continued: "It is not convenient for me to meet with you in the United States. Now Panetta is very anxious. He even began to doubt whether choosing you to deal with Liberty Wind was the right choice. Panetta has told Crawford twice that if you still can't do it here, you have to cut your losses in time."

Is Panetta so anxious? It's only been two months.

Gao Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "Crawford didn't tell me."

"He didn't tell me. I was about to leave today. Crawford told me. This guy didn't want to lose you as a source of income, but he couldn't rush you, so his choice was to tell Panetta that he had already urged you, and you were already in operation."

Gao Yi was very helpless. He knew that Crawford was greedy for money and lustful, but he didn't know that Crawford dared to lie to Panetta about military intelligence.

"Isn't Crawford afraid that something bad will happen if he does this? Cheating the superiors and hiding the truth from the subordinates will lead to big trouble!"

With a bitter smile, Jolson said helplessly, "Yeah, the problem is that he has buried his head in the sand like an ostrich. Although he has taken on the pressure for us in disguise, it also prevents us from knowing Panetta's true attitude. Frankly speaking, I'm afraid Panetta will directly arrange someone to silence me. Fuck, it's really too dangerous to follow a boss like Crawford."

"It's okay. We've taken action this time. Tell Crawford that we've made great progress."

Gao Yi couldn't tell us the specific progress now because he hadn't finished editing it yet.

After thinking for a moment, Gao Yi said to Jolson in a deep voice, "Call Crawford and tell him that we plan to show up in Baghdad and attract Liberty Wind to Baghdad. Ask him to inform Panetta of the news as soon as possible."

This is a delaying tactic.

But now Gao Yi felt the bitter fruit of seeking the skin of a tiger.

Cooperating with Panetta is really like seeking the skin of a tiger. If you think about it carefully, there are not many benefits, but the disadvantages are immediately apparent.

Fortunately, the truth was not given to Panetta.

Panetta is arrogant and impatient, Crawford is greedy, lustful and audacious, and is the type of person who does more harm than good. Jolson is a nobody now and can't make any difference.

Why is it so difficult to deal with the CIA?

While Gao Yi was thinking hard, Jolson whispered, "We must move Crawford away as soon as possible. It's not that I want to replace him, but his presence is too dangerous. I really don't know what kind of excuse Crawford will make up after he can't withstand Panetta's pressure. This kind of person's behavior is unpredictable and too dangerous."

"Just this time, find a way to kick him out. You must contact Panetta directly, but what method should you use..."

If Jolson had an idea, he would have said it long ago, and Gao Yi himself couldn't think of any good idea for the time being. However, since this was the first time that the network of connections had gathered together, if not, they could pool their wisdom and maybe someone would come up with a good idea.
