Chapter 71: The $8 Billion Transaction!

[Tl/n: Promised Chapters (1/2)]

Just when the Phoenix Kingdom and Country J were going crazy because of the internet war, Grace sighed helplessly and made the decision to seek peace. In the Middle East, Balson, the war was raging, and even at night, gunfire was still going on.

Balson, the general capital.

In the room, the head of Balson was looking at the strategic map on the table with a serious expression, frowning deeply.

Five hours ago, Al-Qaeda captured another city, and the Balson regular army was retreating steadily, and they were about to retreat to the capital.

Today's Al-Qaeda has occupied most of Balson's area. They are afraid that in a few months, Balson will be completely occupied.

"Those bastards from country J!"

The President angrily threw the pen on the map, his face full of anger.

How could Al-Qaeda grow to such a degree if Country J did not provide it with a steady stream of weapons and funds from behind?

In order to fight against Al-Qaeda, he also wanted to try to ask other countries for support and arms funds. However, no one was willing to waste weapons and funds for a country that was doomed to be defeated.

"President Saruk, you look a little distressed."

At this moment, a voice sounded in the room.

President Saruk was startled, he quickly took out the pistol at his waist, and shouted sharply in Arabic: "Who! Come out!"

" President Saruk, don't panic, I'm right here."

Suddenly, there should have been an empty place in front of President Saruk.

Suddenly, a vague tall outline appeared. As the tall outline became clearer, he could see what the visitor was. - A man of iron.

The angular shape, cold black blue and grey silver, just like the Mk15 Sneaky.

"You are... Phoenix Kingdom's Iron Man?"

President Saruk apparently also knew about the kingdom's usurpation and treason event, "Why are you here? What is your purpose?"

At this time, the two soldiers who heard the movement at the door also rushed in with guns and pointed their guns directly at Zeke.

"Let your men put down those shabby guns, I'm afraid my automatic defense system will accidentally kill them both."

Zeke said, "Don't doubt my intentions, if I want to kill you, you can't stop it."

Zeke spoke in standard Arabic translated by Jarvis. When President Saruk heard this, hesitation appeared in his eyes.

"You go out."

President Saruk put away his pistol, and the two soldiers left the room.

"President Saruk, your government is almost over."

Zeke said bluntly.

"Thank you for telling me that."

President Saruk said with an expressionless face.

"So, let's make a deal."

Zeke smiled slightly, "A single order can bring your country back to life."

"What's the deal?"

There was a hint of suspicion in President Saruk's eyes.

"Have you seen the video of my Iron Legion fighting?"

"How is it? Is it wonderful?"

Zeke said.

"It's a very good weapon indeed."

President Saruk glanced at Zeke, "But it's hard to say what happens when you encounter anti-aircraft missiles or tanks."

"You don't need to worry about that."

Zeke said, "You only need to pay me $10 billion, and I will help you kill Al-Qaeda. This business is very worthwhile."

"Are you kidding me?"

"Why do I need to believe you can take out those crazy militants?"

"Just relying on your iron men?"

"It only takes a few shells for an Al-Qaeda tank to send you to hell with your iron men."

President Saruk said solemnly.

"President Saruk, do you think I need to come over from the Phoenix Kingdom to joke with you?"

"Al-Qaeda captured an area in Balson five hours ago, and your government is almost over."

"In other words, you are not far from death, President Saruk." Zeke whispered.

"You… there is no other choice."

When President Saruk heard this, his words suffocated.

"Once Al-Qaeda takes another area, your capital will be in jeopardy, maybe they won't even stop and attack the capital directly."

"At that time, you will no longer be the President, but a prisoner, or a corpse."

"Balson Country may have to be renamed Al-Qaeda Country."

Zeke continued, "President Saruk, the only one who can help you is me. And the only one who can change all of this is me. Not only can I help you eliminate Al Qaeda, but I can also take back all your lost territory. And all of this...for only $10 billion."

"Compared with your country, $10 billion, think about which is more important?"

President Saruk fell silent.

"My time is very limited, if you don't agree, then I have to leave."

Zeke said, turned around, and the thrusters under his feet spurted white light.

"I need more time!"

President Saruk shouted.

"Yes, or no?"

Zeke turned his head.

President Saruk hesitated for a while.

"Can't it be cheaper?"

...

In the end, Zeke and President Saruk negotiated the $8 billion deal.

President Saruk paid Zeke $1 billion as a deposit.

Seeing Zeke disappearing, the Minister of Finance worried: " Without any contract or collateral, he is so easily paid $1 billion. What if he is a liar?"

"Do we have any other choice but to trust him?"

President Saruk said helplessly, "My only concern now is whether his tin men can withstand the shells of Al-Qaeda. If he is not an opponent, then we can only surrender obediently."

...

The next day, in the Phoenix Baguio Conference Center, countless media reporters gathered here, and the camera also broadcast live on TV.

Today's speech is a statement made by the Phoenix Kingdom in response to recent events, so many people are in front of the computer and TV at the moment, watching what the kingdom will do.

Be tough, or beg for peace.

And because of the particularity of this broadcast, many netizens in Country J also watched it live on the web.

The nationals of Country J are very confident.

If the kingdom decides to be tough, they're not afraid to fight back.

If the kingdom is cowardly, needless to say, they will start mocking immediately.

It depends on what the kingdom will choose.
