Chapter 910: Chapter 866: Display of Strength Chapter 910: Chapter 866: Display of Strength As Nie Zhenbang’s voice fell, Wu Li nodded and spoke into the walkie-talkie: “Travel Departnt, all units pay attention, all units pay attention. This is Dongyao.”
“Number 2, understood!”
“Received!”
“Number 3 understood, number 5 understood.”
Following Wu Li’s voice, the replies from the ten mbers of the Travel Departnt imdiately ca through the walkie-talkie.
Wu Li didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point: “Target, the high ground on the left, visually estimated, over fifty unidentified personnel. Now, I command. Everyone, engage at will, prioritize your own protection. Eliminate this group.”
Having said that, Wu Li also opened the door on the right side, rolled out of the vehicle with a swift dive, and imdiately closed the door again.
The reason Nie Zhenbang decided to get involved in the strife between the Osman family and the Kogulut family was after careful consideration. On the one hand, there was simply no chance of easing relations with the Kogulut family.
Compared to that, winning over the Osman family was undoubtedly the wisest choice. Now, with the Osman family’s reputation tarnished, it was the perfect opportunity to show his own strength. As for whether the Osman family would have any dissatisfaction, thinking that he was overstepping his bounds, Nie Zhenbang, in fact, didn’t care much. It was quite apparent that the Osman family had failed to protect their own, and under these circumstances, even if they were dissatisfied, they could only grit their teeth and swallow it.
The scene outside was intense and spirited, and upon receiving Wu Li’s orders, the people from the Travel Departnt had already sprung into action. Not one of them carried any heavy weapons; only a small pistol each, which compared to the people on the high ground with heavy machine guns, was completely outclassed.
However, making do with what they had was still feasible. The weapons on the jeeps could be utilized. Under Wu Li’s command, the mbers of the Travel Departnt coordinated perfectly, working together efficiently; soon, two of them took control of a jeep, and its 12.7mm machine gun rattled into action. The intense firepower imdiately suppressed the opposition. At the sa ti, Wu Li and others began advancing uphill. From the Osman Manor, several wheeled armored vehicles quickly erged from within. The battle started abruptly, but just as casually ca to an end, without any suspense.
The convoy continued forward and stopped at the entrance of the manor. The Osman family’s Family Head, General Osman, commander of the Northern Military District, had already co out to welco them, smiling and saying: “Welco, distinguished guests from afar. I apologize for this incident happening on my territory. However, I am also pleased to have seen the exceptional skills of our guests, which also demonstrates your sincerity. Please, co inside.”
Nie Zhenbang appeared very composed at the mont. The bodies left behind after the fierce battle did not evoke any fear or intimidation in him. He nodded slightly in acknowledgnt and said, “You are too kind, General. After you, please.”
The group boarded the electric cart and entered Osman Manor, which was like a haven of peace and quiet. In the center of the manor stood an ancient castle, surrounded by smooth lawns.
Once inside the castle, they sat down in a salon, where General Osman appeared very casual, lounging on a sofa with his legs crossed, holding an exquisite cigar. After performing a stylish trim on the cigar, he used a special lighter to toast it… It was clear that General Osman relished this lifestyle.
Nie Zhenbang was unrushed and calm. Since he had arrived, there was no point in hurrying. This ti, Nie Zhenbang’s interest was not in trading but in other matters. Therefore, he wasn’t overly concerned about the success of the transaction; what mattered more was gaining Osman’s support to provide his people an opportunity to access the missile frigates.
At that mont, General Osman was also sizing up Nie Zhenbang. The robust strength demonstrated by Nie Zhenbang’s n had taken Osman by surprise. Now, Nie Zhenbang’s composed deanor also earned Osman’s respect.
After taking a puff of smoke, Osman leaned back on the sofa and looked up at Nie Zhenbang: “Mr. Nie, I am pleased to et you. I think we can start our discussion now.”
Nie Zhenbang nodded understandingly and waved his hand behind him. Soon, Ma Ruhaii, along with two specialists, stepped forward. Ma Ruhaii handed a set of docunts to Osman’s attendant, and once Osman opened the folder, the specialists by his side started to provide explanations.
The docunts had all been translated into Starmoon characters, and additionally, the explanations by the specialists were translated and recited once more. About half an hour later, on Osman’s side, there seed to be satisfaction as he closed the folder.
After a mont of silence, Osman smiled and said, “Mr. Nie, I am very satisfied with your introduction, and you are well-prepared, which fully demonstrates your sincerity. We also have a detailed understanding of the data paraters of the Type 93 main battle tank. Personally, I am very satisfied with this transaction. However…”
At this mont, Nie Zhenbang finally realized that whether dostically or internationally, whenever a politician uttered these two words, it was the most unpleasant mont.
Although Osman was from Starmoon Nation, it was the sa for him. Right now, a hint of regret appeared on his face as he continued his previous statent, “But, Mr. Nie, you should also know, my relationship with that old man Kogulut isn’t good. As for this transaction, when we previously negotiated with Your country’s Arms Company, he has always been obstructing us. Now, although I am satisfied with the quote and various data materials from Huaxia Group, getting approval will take so ti.”
Nie Zhenbang scoffed at Osman’s words. The old man had convincing expressions and a wealth of mannerisms, making his words seem believable. However, his true intention was probably to gain so advantage in price.
As one of the three major families of Starmoon Nation and holding real power, with Itan City being within the defensive range of the Northern Military District, Nie Zhenbang did not believe that the Osman family truly needed the Kogulut family’s agreent for such a minor matter. If that were the case, the Osman family would likely have ceased to exist long ago.
Clearly, the old man’s purpose was rely to assu that Nie Zhenbang was eager to finalize the transaction. Unfortunately for Osman, he had miscalculated this ti.
If it were the past, considering arms trade, perhaps entering Starmoon Nation’s market would have helped Huaxia open up the European arms trade market. But now, after the establishnt of Huaxia Group, the situation had completely changed.
With a calm smile, Nie Zhenbang then leisurely took a seat, looking at Osman and said, “General, I can very well understand your predicant, just like the incident that happened earlier. However, I truly did not expect that the Osman family had fallen to such a state. Oh, my apologies, please forgive my directness. I think we will consider your proposal seriously, ti is not an issue. Our concern is, even with an extension, General, whether you will be able to persuade Marshal Kogulut and President Yi Xin as you wish?”
Nie Zhenbang’s words were very direct, leaving no room for Osman to save face. His words were not without aim; the strength demonstrated by his n earlier was enough to intimidate Osman, who would not and could not afford much rebuttal under these circumstances. Moreover, they were in Osman’s ho, and Osman would not let any mishap befall Nie Zhenbang.
These words imdiately darkened Osman’s expression. Nie Zhenbang’s words were equivalent to an insult to him. However, they were his own words, and the attackers that the Kogulut family had sent had humiliated him just a mont ago. Now, Osman was attributing this issue to the Kogulut family.
As he was about to speak, Nie Zhenbang continued, “General, if it is convenient, we can assist you in facilitating this matter. For instance, arranging a eting with President Yi Xin for us…”
This was an important part of Nie Zhenbang’s plan. To successfully get close to the Arican missile destroyer, relying solely on Osman was not enough. Even though Starmoon Nation’s three missile destroyers were docked in the Black Sea, they were not under the jurisdiction of Osman’s Northern Military District. If they could win over Yi Xin, the mission would be much simpler.
However, at this mont, Osman was seething with anger. Without a doubt, Nie Zhenbang’s remarks were a blatant contempt for him and the entire Osman family, sothing that Osman could not accept. Imdiately, Osman stood up, his deanor cold as he said, “Mr. Nie, you need not trouble yourself with these matters. You would do well to just patiently await good news.”
With that, Osman turned to one of his aides and said, “Su Ke, please arrange accommodation for our guests who have co from afar.”
After Osman left the eting room, Ma Ruhaii approached Nie Zhenbang with so confusion and said, “Boss, what was that about? Provoking Osman like that could have an impact on our transaction.”
Watching Osman’s retreating figure, Nie Zhenbang was not overly concerned. If they had played by the book, not to ntion getting close to the target, even proposing the idea could have raised suspicion. Nie Zhenbang was certain that the Osman family could not complete this task alone. If the Osman family truly had strong backing, they wouldn’t have turned to Huaxia, and the Kogulut family would not have dared to be so arrogant and reckless.
Thus, Nie Zhenbang had deliberately provoked a little outburst, knowing that when Osman would find himself in a tough spot, he would naturally co looking for him. (
