Competitors are competitors, and Stars Group also has the proper hospitality.
The group not only booked a high-rise luxury hotel in the center of New Baghdad for Ames, Dominic and the team they brought, but also dispatched a platoon of the most elite Stars soldiers to take charge of security work.
The ten exoskeleton warriors and the four Z-1 robots assigned to each of them, a total of fifty combat units, are all veterans who have come through the Battle of Cairo, which can be seen from their armbands.
According to the honor system of the Legion of Stars, you can add a red star to the Night armband after you have accumulated a certain level of military exploits, and every new soldier who joins the army will receive a red star as a basis.
As veterans who had experienced the Battle of Cairo, these ten soldiers all had two red stars on their armbands, and some even had three stars.
Dominic was very grateful for their meticulous protection, and specially called Harland to praise the Star Group's security forces for their clean-up, which made her feel very at ease.
But Ames saw some clues.
This night armband looks like it can hold a lot of stars. It seems that the Star Group has a big plan.
However, they came prepared this time, and all the technical reserves that Armadana Company originally planned to keep for release in a few years or even decades were taken out. Not only is the "Skull Face" special robot's paper data no weaker than that of the Stars Rangers, the "Sabertooth Tiger" main battle tank also accurately targets the shortcomings of the Stars Group's insufficient armor strength.
Although the fifth-generation exoskeleton and unprecedented laser weapons have not yet been figured out, it is believed that the emergence of these new equipment will be enough to win back the hearts and orders of some European customers.
Just when Ames was leading the team to conduct pre-war deductions on the sand table, the protocol robot belatedly arrived with news of Yang Tianyi and Haaland's visit.
"Haha! They are finally here."
Ames smiled and returned to his room, changed his camouflage uniform into a suit, and then went downstairs in person to greet the legendary young and charismatic chairman of the Stars Group.
...
The high-level meeting between the two major arms giants was not as tense as many people imagined, because it involved the combat plan against the "Renewal Front", and there were no reporters snapping pictures on the side, which made the long-term confrontation Ames was in a very happy mood when interviewed by the reporter.
"Mr. Yang, I have to say that your strategic vision is something I have never seen before in my life. While our eyes are still on the Americas and Europe as always, you have already taken the lead in occupying the 'pure land' of the Middle East Alliance."
Ames, who spoke with something in mind, stared at the young black-haired young man in front of him. He still couldn't believe that he had built an arms group from scratch that was comparable to Armadanai.
Unlike Amadana, which has accumulated hundreds of years of accumulation, the products and technologies that Stars Group has come up with in just a few months can't help but make people wonder whether their chairman is from an alien planet as rumored.
Naturally, Ames would not believe the nonsense about aliens. He just thought it was a young scientist from across the ocean who had great luck. Maybe there was support from the Pan-Asian Alliance behind his success?
It doesn’t matter, there is also the North American Alliance behind Armadanai!
Standing up from the large conference table, Eames glanced enviously at the holographic sand table embedded in the table. Different from the mainstream flat electronic sand table on the market, this sand table that can three-dimensionally display combat targets and enemy and friendly forces is obviously more user-friendly.
After a brief moment of envy, Ames straightened out his thoughts and said, "Then let us finally confirm the tasks of both parties."
Following his voice, the picture on the holographic sand table was zoomed in to the Baidra-Mehran area where the "Renewal Front" is entrenched. Although these two small cities have flat terrain around them, they are less than a hundred kilometers away from the east. It is a continuous forest and mountainous area, which is very suitable for small groups of armed forces such as guerrillas to hide.
It is foreseeable that once General Nasser realizes that he is being attacked by two of the most powerful arms groups in the world, he will not hesitate to have all his soldiers break up into pieces and flee into prepared caves in the mountain forests. and fortress, taking advantage of the complex terrain inside and ample supplies to continue fighting.
The threat is not great, but it will complicate the cleaning work of the soldiers, and may even cause unnecessary casualties.
Therefore, after consultations between the two parties, it was finally decided that Amadanai's armored forces would conduct a lightning raid on Mehran to cut off the retreat of the Renaissance Front. The Star Group was responsible for Baidra and the Renaissance Front troops from Baidra to Mehran. , squeezing their living space and forcing them to crash into the Amadanai troops who were already prepared in Mehran.
This somewhat risky plan made Yang Tianyi look at Ames with admiration. Unexpectedly, this veteran who had been up and down in the business world for decades still maintained his enthusiasm.
But when he thought about it again, he understood Ames's sinister intentions.
If the plan goes well, the Stars Group will chase the remnants of the Renaissance Front all the way to Mehran. Armadanai's armored forces will be waiting for work on the defense line, and they can easily seize a large number of results that should belong to the Stars Group.
If the plan does not go well and the Stars Group's attack is delayed, resulting in the armadanai company's troops being surrounded by the Renaissance Front and suffering heavy losses or even being wiped out, Ames will have quite good reasons to question the Stars Group's arms and weapons, and let the Stars The group's high position in the international arms market has plummeted.
If the only competitor can lose the trust of its customers, the loss of more than a hundred tanks, armored vehicles and thousands of robots is completely acceptable, and even the major shareholder of Armada's board of directors will not even blink an eye.
It has to be said that Ames's cleverness was indeed good, but he ignored a situation that in his opinion would not happen - the "skull face" and "saber-toothed tiger" that Armadanai is proud of may even have Mei. Helan's gate cannot be broken through.
If you cannot complete your own tasks, you naturally have no right to laugh at others.
In order to ensure that Armadana's armored forces could 100% complete their mission, Yang Tianyi contacted his "friends" in the Pan-Asian Alliance overnight, hoping to "temporarily lend" a batch of arms that the Star Group was about to deliver to them. "To the Al-Nusra Front.
As for the reward, it is also very simple, that is, Yang Tianyi personally guarantees that the North American Alliance's tentacles that want to extend their reach into the Middle East Alliance through Armadana Corporation will be cut off by the Stars Group.
The "friends" of the Pan-Asian Alliance also held an emergency meeting for this purpose and unanimously agreed that this matter can be accomplished.
The value of the batch of arms they ordered was neither high nor low. They originally planned to buy them for dismantling and research to pave the way for future independent research and development. But in order to hold back the old rival, it is not unacceptable to receive the goods one or two months late.
"We are willing to lend all the weapons and weapons ordered from your company, including the red laser truck cannon, but this is just a commercial transaction. Please keep it secret and do not raise it to the national level."
Hearing the rich male voice from the other end of the encrypted communication, Yang Tianyi raised the corners of his mouth slightly and gave his reply happily.
"Please rest assured, this is of course, I guarantee that every investment you make will receive the most generous return."
