Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 319 Anxious Big Shot

The butcher robbed a van that smelled of marijuana near the highway on the north side of Klong Toei District...

The location provided by Lancelot is a seafood restaurant in the southern part of Samutprakarn Province, where Suvarnabhumi Airport is a few kilometers to the north and the long coastline is a few kilometers to the south.

Shanying is now extremely disappointed with the Thai people...

Some of them are indeed doing things for the country, but there are more of them who simply don't care about what the country is like.

At this time, those who were able to be around Tagore and Devika were basically equivalent to the core power circle of Thailand.

But for the sake of profit, they will not hesitate to sell out others.

You have to know that those data are related to whether Thailand can completely avoid sanctions from Europe and the United States due to the coup.

Shanying simply couldn't imagine how a country with so many holes in it could have survived.
Now Shanying can't trust anyone. Before rescuing Samantha, he can only carry the information like a hot potato.

Shanying and his team were nearly two hours away from their destination. During the journey, a phone call woke Shanying up from his thoughts...

Looking at the name on the phone, Shanying frowned and answered the call, saying, "Mo Li, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Mori on the other end of the phone was the diplomatic and security advisor to the U.S. State Department in Moscow who was held hostage by Shanying in his "Sten Plan"...

This guy has been connecting within America recently, trying to communicate with big companies and big shots in various key departments to put a satisfactory end to the Snowden issue and to secure a bright future for himself.

After all, Snowden is still a thorn in the pain points of many American giants and bigwigs!

When Shanying completed his debut with a drama that shocked the intelligence community and proved to those people that it was not feasible to solve the problem by killing S Nden, Mori, the guy he pushed to the position of "middleman", would become very important.

The documents in Snowden's hand can severely damage some well-known giant companies, as well as many consulting companies, investment companies, and technology companies that ordinary people have never heard of but generate huge profits every year...

Each of them alone would not be enough to keep S N Deng safe, but when Shanying put their names together and provided a series of confidential documents that could lead to them getting sued...

They can form a force that is enough to shake the American political arena and offer Snowden a security and confidentiality contract that he cannot refuse.

At the same time, they can also use them to leverage some of America’s political resources…

Shanying induced Anna to create a Cyprus interest chain out of thin air, which complicated the problems of S Nden and derived huge profits. For a guy like Mori, it was both a pressure and a motivation.

There is pressure because there is one more trouble, and there is motivation because he can lead the funds and power of some key bigwigs to rush into the big Russian corrupt assets in Cyprus to get a piece of the fat.

The 'middleman' does not bear any risk, but if successful, both parties will make money.

This guy was flying between Washington, New York, and Silicon Valley, but he was called to Washington by a phone call, and then he saw a document in a conference room...

There was a big mess that the CIA had made in Thailand, and I also saw a familiar person...

Those real big shots would never go to Shanying to negotiate bare-handed, so Mori was pushed to the front line of negotiations with Shanying.

Hearing Shanying's impatient tone, Mori glanced at the many bigwigs in the conference room with unhappy expressions. He said to the triangular conference phone, "Shanying, you are in trouble..."

Shanying, who was dealing with a lawsuit, said unhappily, “I fucking know it, and I’m on my way to solve the problem.

What's the matter? If you have nothing else, call me tomorrow!"

When Mori heard this, he quickly said, "No, no, no, I have something urgent to do. I was called from the airport to the White House because I had dealt with you before.

Shanying, we are friends, right?"

Shanying realized at this time that Mori was the 'big shot' that Sam had told him about before. This guy must have come for the black notebook...

Thinking of this, Shanying's anger suddenly calmed down, and he said in a playful tone: "Before our cooperation is reached, we can only be considered half friends."

When Mori heard Shanying's words were not as tough as before, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Shanying, how come you are a Thai policeman?"

Shanying sneered and said, "Am I hiding this from anyone?
How much does it cost to be a police officer in Thailand in a year? What's wrong with me doing a side job to support my family? "

Mori glanced at the big guys who were watching him, rubbed his nose helplessly, and said in a good tone: "Let's not beat around the bush, you must know why I called you?
Man, you've got me screwed. I had dinner plans with CEOs of some big Silicon Valley companies, and now I'm going to break them.

They are my main focus lately, you know why I am so busy, right? "

Shanying sneered and said, "Brother, I can hear boasting and pride in your words, but I can't hear the slightest bit of worry.

Don't you just want that black notebook?
Because of the Southeast Asian spy data and this notebook, Pattaya is experiencing a terrorist threat that affects the entire city...

Oh, you should also feel deeply, because when I pulled Kate out of the scene, there were only a few of your people left."

As soon as Shanying finished speaking, Mori felt that the air pressure in the conference room had dropped a lot. He immediately said, "Shanying, that means those things are in your hands, right?"

Shanying nodded and said, "It's in my hands for now, and I've also captured several mercenaries who attacked the CIA convoy. What do you want to do? I'm a Thai police officer now, and I've already reported my gains. I'm preparing to send these things to the Prime Minister's Office."

After hearing this, Mori looked up and saw a woman holding up a whiteboard covered with words. He glanced at it and said to the phone, "Mountain Eagle, can we talk about it? About that black notebook...

You can hand over the information to the Prime Minister's Office, but there is no use for them to have this black notebook.

If it were an official negotiation, not only would they not be able to use this black notebook, it would also create unnecessary obstacles to the negotiations.

You know, we can just push the baht down, draw up a sanctions list, and then negotiate with them, and they don’t have the leverage to fight us.”

Shanying sneered and said, "If I give you the black notebook, you won't do this?"

Mori smacked his lips and said, "You are a smart man, you should understand what 'cost' is.

If they didn’t have the black notebook, we wouldn’t have to spend so much money, because it costs money to pass sanctions through Congress.”

As soon as Mori said that, Shanying understood. If there was no black notebook, the United States would also use sanctions as a bargaining chip, but this thing was just a hollow shout...

If you give me the things and let me pay less cost, we will all be happy.

On the contrary, if the black notebook is in the hands of the Thai government, in order to ensure that they get it back, they will seriously mobilize political resources to safeguard the interests of the United States.

The difference between the two is that in the former, everything is done under the table, and not too many people on the American side will be implicated.

The latter is all on the table...

Because if we want to safeguard America’s interests, we have to mobilize the power of both parties and then mobilize the power of Congress.

At this time, what happened in Thailand can no longer be concealed within their borders. Before the United States imposes sanctions, a large number of people in their country will be implicated because of the leak.

This is why it costs America money to mobilize all its forces to protect its own interests...

The political cost of mobilizing Congress, the Senate, and the White House, the operational cost of having the CIA perform protection, and the losses suffered by those powerful people who were implicated...

Under normal circumstances, Thailand would not have to bear such costs.

But the combination of those spy materials and notebooks represents the results of America's efforts in Southeast Asia over the past few decades.

Once Thailand loses its mind, things will definitely develop in the worst direction!

In fact, the Thai government cannot even withstand the previous kind of under-the-surface competition. They are clear-headed and only want to do their best to safeguard their own interests.

This is why Davika is not very interested in the Black Notebook...

A small international player can gain benefits by holding chips in his hand, but if the chips are big enough, he may not get anything in return.

Thailand can afford a cold relationship with the United States, but it cannot afford the consequences of making enemies with this big brother. The CIA has a damn long history of coups, and a country like Thailand that has just experienced a coup simply cannot afford it.

What Mori said was a little obscure, but he believed that Mountain Eagle could understand.

In fact, this guy was hinting to Shanying how valuable the black notebook in his hand was.

If we can arouse the greed of the mountain eagle, then the rest will be easy to talk about.

If not, then he was also revealing the details to Shanying in disguise, which could be considered a small favor.

There are always cunning people in any system, and Mori is a typical example!

Anyway, no matter what the final price is, it will be paid by the American intelligence agencies.

If he succeeds, he'll have the best of both worlds; if he fails, the worst that can happen is that he'll just say sorry and continue with his complicated and lucrative brokerage job.

Shanying, who had been in the system for many years, was of course well aware of Mori's thoughts. He pretended to be hesitant and kept quiet for a few minutes, and even rolled down the car window to let the people in the Washington office listen in for a few minutes. Finally, when the patience of those people was about to run out, he said, "What is written in the notebook?
What do I gain from this?”

When Mori heard Shanying's relenting, he glanced at the excited senior officials present at the meeting, then coughed and said, "I can't tell you what the things in the notebook represent, but you can name a price...

what do you want?
Money? American passport?
Maybe a luxury apartment in Manhattan!
Mountain Eagle, I really hope you can come to America. You are a smart person and we can work together to do many things.

I've been making good progress lately, but if you'd come along, we could make much more progress in a shorter time.

You may not believe it, but many big shots are very interested in you as a "bodyguard". They think you can not only protect their personal safety, but also solve troublesome problems.

Shanying, you are very popular now!

If we start a security company together, I guarantee we can make a lot of money."
