King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer-Chapter 1116 - 982: Recruitment from the Royal Family

Chapter 1116 -982: Recruitment from the Royal Family

The boss Qiao went all out to host his guests, renting several additional floors in the building where the ‘Little Cat’ Apartment is located.

Later on, whenever someone comes over, a whole floor will be arranged for them to stay; though Boss Qiao sets up the occasion, the details are up to you to negotiate.

To be honest, each party here has completely different needs!

For example, France and the British government want tangible funds, China wants resources, and America and Russia want face.

Anyway, the resources around Mukalla in Yemen are all laid out. Boss Qiao is responsible for utilizing the Shah’s funds to secure the place; how you divide the rest is up to your negotiation.

Regardless, China is eager for resources, and they have enough foreign exchange to settle accounts with you.

Boss Qiao has not even seen what Mukalla looks like yet has already pulled so many parties in advance to conduct negotiations, the reason being to increase their ‘sunk costs’.

When the ‘sunk costs’ rise to a certain level, especially after expectations have been inflated internally within each party, should anything happen with Yemeni affairs, even without Boss Qiao calling, they would step forward.

This is about feeding the benefits directly to them; just shouting a few words at the United Nations won’t work!

Djibouti is not far away; when conducting exercises, don’t fire those outrageously expensive shells into the sea—now you have a concrete target.

Eventually, as each navy passes by, they can switch flags and occasionally fire a few shots, which saves Boss Qiao quite a bit of money.

Claverley admires Boss Qiao most for putting everything in plain sight.

He knows very well the purpose of Boss Qiao gathering everyone in the apartment but still decides to cooperate with him.

Not solely because of interests, but because he finds this mode of cooperation more intriguing.

What is England’s core interest?

To restore past glory as much as possible. If that is unattainable, maintain its current status.

They have the richest resources second only to Russia in Europe, the most developed financial services, and political influence provided by Commonwealth Nations worldwide.

Looking solely at diplomacy, America lacks a tier compared to England in capabilities.

The most uncomfortable issue for England now is the declining rate of economic growth and sharply waning influence.

They have been deeply affected by America in finance, and their own industry has been in continuous decline since World War II.

To sustain themselves, they must make efforts in the field of ideology.

The Queen of England seems quite benign, but her influence on England and even the world is extremely profound.

She not only has the world’s top think tank, but as long as she is alive, places like Canada and Australia remain allies of England.

Most people don’t know that the Governor General of Canada and the Governor General of Australia are appointed by The Queen, and the Prime Minister’s inauguration requires her approval as well.

Most importantly, both legislative bodies are composed of The Queen, the House of Representatives, and senators.

This means, legally speaking, unless the old lady nods, regardless of how you toss about, no proposal can be legally passed.

Of course, the old lady doesn’t seek inconvenience in this area, hence why she consistently does not express her presence here.

Because excessive intervention might provoke some individuals, making the position of the British Royal Family even more awkward.

This is the bitter fruit of England’s decline, with industrial capacity reduced and unable to compete financially with America, leading to the swift decline in control over Commonwealth member nations and even the United Kingdom itself.

The Brexit led by Cameron was partly due to England’s upper class not wanting to relinquish part of their power because of the European Union.

But this actually hastened the decline of their hard power, propelling them farther down the ideological path.

Claverley is a staunch royalist, having handled many tricky diplomatic matters, always ensuring England’s dignity while bringing back considerable profits.

Yet he truly has never encountered someone like Boss Qiao; the posture P·B presents makes him choke on all his arguments.

The stance of standing at a moral high ground waving a big stick, urging everyone to eat, feels as if speaking a single word of nonsense would get one sprayed with dozens of pounds of spittle.

The feeling is extremely awkward and weird, but regardless of the angle you view it from, you don’t lose, and there’s even a lot of benefits.

Claverley is not superficial enough to be jealous of Boss Qiao because he understands the risks Boss Qiao took in organizing such a scenario.

Reflecting on each adventure of his, he himself led P·B people to charge into the most dangerous places, capturing the most critical areas, and then picking up the dirty and hard work that several major bosses were unwilling to do, impressively accomplishing it even better than NATO forces.

It defies logic, yet reality stands there starkly!

England’s old lady’s think tank has long dissected Hu Lang and P·B’s data.

They have analyzed every move of Boss Qiao from various angles, then arrived at a rather outlandish conclusion…

That is, as long as Hu Lang can be controlled, most regions in Central Afrika can be controlled, even influencing the situation in Liberia and Iraq.

This ‘control’ does not refer to controlling regime changes in various countries, but ensuring investment efficiency and exerting influence through economic issues.

P·B’s image is too favorable; their mode of operation is to find a correct entry point…

Bring out a ‘correct enemy,’ and eliminate them with the most brutal method.

Then before local and external reactions occur, use benefits to silence everyone.

The so-called ‘charity’ is just the facade, ‘development’ is the flesh and blood, and ‘war’ is the framework!

Even when it comes to fighting, NATO stirs worldwide condemnation, but the more aggressive P.B. receives unanimous praise. How does one even reason with this?

Claverley has read P.B.’s combat reports, and he could swear by his life that P.B. surpasses NATO’s forces in sheer brutality.

The think tank concludes that P.B. is an international military contractor company that profits from war, integration, and development.

This is the sword that the British Royal Family dreams of holding, for wielding it means wielding tremendous power.

Wherever this sword strikes, it can shatter the traditional forces of countries with underdeveloped military power.

The most outrageous part is that this sword comes with an integration ability, reorganizing the shattered flesh of opponents and inviting people to elegantly dine.

The elderly lady of England, integrating the think tank’s judgment, suggests that Claverley approach and influence Hu Lang…

It’s obvious to everyone that trying to control the current Hu Lang is unrealistic.

However, Europeans have a long-standing tradition of employing mercenaries and are never stingy in awarding them honors or offering them clear status, thereby incorporating them into their own system.

That not-so-pretty Princess Beatrice is engaged in charitable projects in Sangha Town with vast funds.

Claverley wants a British princess to embed herself into P.B.’s charitable image.

Beatrice is among the relatively naive British princesses, not very attractive and with slight reading difficulties, but she has an excellent character with not a hint of aggressiveness.

With the way Boss Qiao treats Princess Amina, Princess Charlene, and others like workhorses, as long as Beatrice achieves a little, she’ll be brought into Boss Qiao’s charitable circle.

By then, the British Royal Family will naturally have links with P.B.…

There is precedent for this, not to mention the benefits received by that old rogue Albert II of Monaco…

The entire Swedish family became highly praised by their people and greatly increased in influence due to their involvement in several key affairs of P.B. in recent years.

The increase in royal influence translates directly into increased wealth!

The disqualified Prince Carl of Sweden made a sweeping fortune in the domestic business world, earning tens of millions within six months through the super channel of Jia Liang trade, surpassing the public assets of their royal family.

The interests of the royal family don’t always align with the government’s interests!

The British Royal Family certainly isn’t short of money, but the real issue is with royal succession.

With the rise of the younger generation, respect for the royal family has diminished, and the decline in royal influence is undeniable.

Over time, government financial issues may arise, and it wouldn’t be impossible for the government to curtail the royal family or even siphon resources from it.

The British Royal Family needs forces like P.B. to secure their interests outside of government control in certain matters.

Of course, the primary focus is on investment interests at this stage!

The initial 1.5 billion British Pounds from Claverley is just the royal family’s pocket money, and this is only the beginning…

He needs to delve into P.B.’s circle and attempt to draw Boss Qiao closer to the royal family.

Imagine the royal family’s capital and political power combined with P.B.; in Africa alone, they’d be invincible.

Suppose Boss Qiao got a sudden inclination under certain conditions to allow P.B. to carry a prefix like ‘Royal England,’ then the British Royal Family could leverage P.B.’s might and the influence of the British Pound to further expand their influence.

The British Royal Family doesn’t simply pursue money; they need political influence and want to liquidate some of their top-tier assets, converting them into assets with growth potential.

No one knows how many more years the elderly lady has, and the old prince’s reputation isn’t particularly good.

If he fails to make any achievements after the elderly lady, the decline of the British Royal Family will accelerate.

Africa is the easiest place to gain achievements!

Boss Qiao’s position ensures that as long as he behaves himself, unlike the erratic Colonel Ka, he’ll be wooed by all the major players.

The cost is he becomes the public enemy of jihadist organizations and is targeted by organizations like the ‘Glorious Society.’

But it’s all worth it…

France is bogged down by multiple fronts and can only deepen cooperation with Boss Qiao in Africa.

American financial capital is wooing him, Chinese industrial capital is wooing him, and now the British royal family capital is joining in…

As long as Boss Qiao can withstand France’s financial onslaught in Central Africa and the Congo, within ten years Central Africa could complete its transformation, and most regions of the Congo would stabilize.

Influence, like a rolling snowball, grows bigger and bigger.

As long as he doesn’t make foolish moves, the future will see him handing over a great company to his son.

Boss Qiao doesn’t know what Claverley is up to. If he did, he’d probably laugh his head off…

The royal family just wants a nominal association. Once the money is in place, Boss Qiao can rope in a few presidents and prime ministers from impoverished countries to form a group for some formal ceremony—why not?

But Boss Qiao doesn’t have the time to ponder over Claverley right now; he’s hiding in a truck watching his wife in action…

Oh, it can’t really be called warfare; it’s more like addressing psychological issues…
