Chapter 418

Lawrence's loud voice soon came from the other end. The guy didn't seem to feel sad for his lost plane and dead pilot at all.

"Dear Qin, I'm glad to hear that you are safe and sound. Welcome back to Eritrea. Tomorrow evening, I'm going to hold a dinner and dance in Fati to calm down those distinguished guests who have come all the way. I'd like to invite you to join me. Please be sure to honor me."

"Thank you, Mr. Minister. I think there are still some things between us that must be made clear, otherwise it will not be so timely to talk at the ball." Qin Fei said faintly.

Old man, old ghost.

Lawrence knew what Qin Fei was going to talk about next, so he laughed and said, "you're talking about the management right of the animal camp, right? Diego and I have more than enough. They all agreed that Lawrence has my word, and I will never break my word. From now on, the management right there belongs to you."

Qin Fei said, "Mr. Minister, I heard that things are not that simple, right? As far as I know, this management right has attached conditions?"

"Ah..."

Lawrence was questioned by Qin Fei. He was a little embarrassed and coughed twice on the other end of the phone.

After all, Qin Fei was the one who saved him. Now that he's out of trouble, he's going to talk to Qin Fei's lion. It's not a glorious thing to say.

"Yes, there are attached conditions. Qin, you should also understand me. As a secretary of defense, I am in an awkward position. Last night, I suggested to the president to send an air force to support you and help you save your friends. As a result, one of our fighter planes and one helicopter fell into the sea. Of course, the official can't bear these losses. Of course, you can also refuse to pay them, But then... "

"Minister, let me finish the rest for you. If I can't compensate for the loss, the management right of the animal camp will be sold to others to make up for the loss." Qin Fei disdained.

Lawrence is really an old man with thick skin. He doesn't hide it at all: "Yes, yes, that's what it means. You know, it's not easy to train a pilot. We spent a lot of money to hire a coach from Europe. Besides, you saw last night. The loss of my troops is not small. There are no six armored vehicles alone. For a small country like ours, we can't afford the loss anyway."

Qin Fei held back his anger and tried to be calm: "according to you, I not only can't get the reward for saving people last night, but also owe you a lot of money?"

"I'm not blackmailing you." Lawrence seems to hear the displeasure in Qin Fei's tone. Although he is a minister, he doesn't want to provoke elite mercenaries. No one can guarantee that he will always be in a high position. In case of losing power that day, it's better to have fewer enemies.

"It costs almost 20 million dollars to buy a mb-339, and those missiles are burning money every time they are launched. The troops sent last night lost six Soviet made brmd-2 and one helicopter. According to this calculation, it also costs more than 10 million here..."

"Well, well, Mr. Minister, let's say it clearly. Just give me a number and I'll see how much money I have to give you to get the right to operate the animal camp?"

Qin Feiyue became more and more angry. This guy counted all the losses of last night, including the military losses that came to rescue him and his rich friends.

Even if he doesn't pay, Qin Fei knows that Lawrence won't pay out of his own pocket. Although tens of millions of dollars is not a decimal, it can still be taken out for a country's national defense budget.

"For the sake of our friends, you are my life-saving benefactor again. Let's do it," Lawrence said. "I only accept you for five million dollars, and then you can get the right to operate in good faith."

If Lawrence is sitting in front of him now, Qin Fei is worried that he will really shoot the guy.

The mb-339 produced in Italy, a double row trainer in the 1980s, is not actually a fighter in the strict sense, and the price is not the same as a real fighter.

At the same time, the phantom 2000 of the Gallic chicken family, which is known as the most expensive European fighter in the same period, was only offered for 30 million, and the transaction price was cut to 2300 in case, with combat missiles as a gift; while the MiG-29 made by the Soviet Union in the same period was only sold for 1800 in case.

Although Qin Fei, the mb-339 trainer, doesn't know how much money Eritrea has given to the Roman officials, it certainly won't exceed 18 million. In addition, an old and ragged UH-1 in the Vietnam War era and several big maozi have long been eliminated. The brmd-2 light armored personnel carrier that can be pulled to the scrap iron recycling station is not worth 40 million US dollars.

In Lawrence's mouth, such a pile of garbage is just cabbage. He has calculated the price of white powder. Forty million US dollars has become "not enough". He has to subsidize another five million US dollars, which is no different from robbing.

Qin Fei's face turned red with anger. He was about to attack. Old fish pulled Qin Fei's clothes aside. As long as Sheng Sheng swallowed the breath back to his stomach.

"Minister, I'll think about it again and reply to you when I meet in the evening."

Hang up the phone, Qin Fei hit the front seat with a hard punch, which startled everyone.

"Qin Fei, what are you going to do now? Don't want the animal camp. If not, we'll leave Eritrea at a big deal. He has no choice." the old fish said.

"But that animal camp is really a place to make money." Zhuixing grabbed the steering wheel and looked back at Qin Fei: "it's a pity not. Robert has operated for many years before it has this scale. In Africa, no mercenary training base can match it."

Qin Fei touched his chin and looked at the flying scenery outside the car, lost in thought.

For a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to everyone, "I'm going to give Lawrence five million. What do you think?"

The car was very quiet. No one spoke for a long time.

Take out five million US dollars at one time, which is almost all Qin Fei's possessions. Although Qin Fei got six million or so in the fight competition, he has given kunchai 500000, zunni 100000 and Zhuxing 200000. He estimates that he has just been able to pay the compensation.

"I'm in favor of taking back the management right." the old fish said, "after all, it's a hen laying golden eggs. As long as it's revitalized, we don't worry about having no money. It's estimated that we can see the income in a year. Just..."

"Just what?" Qin Fei asked.

The old fish leaned back in his seat and sighed: "maybe you don't know the situation of the whole animal camp yet. The battle last night was very fierce and was badly beaten everywhere. Apart from others, all three LCI landing boats were finished, all brmd-2 used for training were also destroyed, and four domestic type 59 tanks used for training were also destroyed. Only one can drive."

The polar bear interrupted: "it's more than that. The ordnance in the armory will be robbed by those damn bastards, and the rest will be confiscated by the military in the name of counter insurgency. These bastards will really rob. Robert's possessions are basically looted now. The animal camp is still a training camp, but it's just a piece of rotten land."
