I was acting crazy in North America, and all the crazy people there took it seriously.

Chapter 158 If America isn't in chaos, how will you sell weapons?
Just as the Bureau of Investigation was making headlines and gaining praise for its high-profile crackdown on illegal immigrants in New York Harbor, Logan was also in New York, meeting with Thomas, a French arms dealer.

Okay, it should be Logan's second alias, "Guo Da Statham".

As soon as Thomas sat down, without even exchanging pleasantries, he complained in heavily accented French English, "Mr. Statham, your America...excuse my bluntness, is just too chaotic!"

Thomas arrived at an inopportune time, just in time for a raid by the Bureau of Investigation. Although he wasn't arrested, he still experienced a chaotic scene.

"Guo Da Statham" remained unmoved. "Chaos? Isn't chaos a good thing? For an arms dealer, isn't chaos the most fertile soil?"

Thomas was taken aback at first, then chuckled and shook his head, pointing at "Guo Da Statham" with his finger: "Mr. Statham, you're really joking."

"Yes, chaos can certainly create demand, but unfortunately America is not chaotic enough to allow the arms trade to proceed openly and on a large scale."

"Besides, does America really lack weapons?"

In fact, he was curious as to why an American would bypass domestic channels and place an arms order with him, a Frenchman.

"Guo Da Statham" subtly twitched his lips.

Isn't it because Walter McKenne is a coward?
It is said that after the weapons he sold were discovered to be in the hands of New York gangsters, he was investigated by the military again and had to spend a lot of time and effort to get out of trouble.

So this time, before "Guo Da Statham" could even name a price, this guy declared that he would never do business with a scoundrel like him who has no character, no credibility, and no principles.

Alas, how can an arms dealer who doesn't sell weapons to enemy countries be considered a truly good arms dealer?
(Walter McKenna: Fuck you! You're not selling to the enemy, you're selling back to America!)
American arms dealers are out of the question for now, but the Sun has made connections in all walks of life, so finding another arms dealer shouldn't be difficult.

This time, because priority was given to the French Black Legion, and Logan also had a business relationship with the Pierre family, a French clothing merchant, after several investigations, he found Thomas, a French arms dealer with a decent reputation.

After Thomas finished complaining, let's get back to the main topic.

“郭达·斯坦森”这次找他订购2000支贝蒂埃M1916步枪、50挺哈奇开斯M1914重机枪、24门法式75MM野战炮、24门斯托克斯迫击炮、大量手雷、手榴弹以及超量配置的配套各口径弹药。

In addition, there is a long list of auxiliary equipment: helmet, mountain boots, entrenching shovel, entrenching pick, dagger, marching backpack, etc.

All weapons and equipment do not need to be brand new, but their quality must be guaranteed.

After reviewing the order, Thomas was even less convinced that the weapons were intended for the United States.

The reason is simple: it appears that a lightly armed force, apart from a small number of artillerymen, is to be deployed.

The U.S. military itself cannot lack these equipment, and besides the U.S. military, where else in the United States are there any "troops"?
I suspect he's an arms dealer involved in arms re-export trade.

This amount of goods was nothing compared to the French army's huge post-war munitions surplus, and Thomas demonstrated the qualities of an excellent arms dealer by not even asking who would use these weapons!
"Even if you sell to your French rivals, I will only supply the goods and collect payment."

"Guo Da Statham" raised an eyebrow and said seriously, "The United States shouldn't be considered a match for France now, right?"

Thomas was taken aback at first, but then burst into laughter at "Guo Da Statham's" earnest humor: "Mr. Statham, you're so funny!"

He assumed that "Jason Statham" was just making a joke to avoid revealing the real buyer.

Perhaps sensing the pleasant atmosphere, Thomas half-jokingly continued the conversation: "So, Mr. Statham, with all this weaponry you've bought for use in America, do you need to recruit outlaws, oh, what you Americans call 'heroes'?"

He initially thought it was just a harmless joke, but to his surprise, "Guo Da Statham's" calm eyes lit up, as if he had truly been enlightened.

“Your idea…” “Guo Da Statham” frowned slightly, tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and looked like he was thinking seriously. “It’s quite good!”

"Huh?" Thomas didn't react immediately. "We can cooperate and open a 'European Elite Business Agency'!"

"Jason Statham's" expression returned to its indifferent state, only his tone became slightly more raised.

"Specially designed to help European talents who are interested in venturing into the New World but don't know where to start, to successfully integrate into the land of opportunity that is America!"

Thomas froze, his hand holding the wine glass hanging in mid-air. He carefully examined "Jason Statham's" expression, trying to figure out if he was joking.

"are you serious?"

"why not?"

"Guo Da Statham" said matter-of-factly, "You said it yourself, if America isn't in chaos, how can I sell weapons? If America isn't in chaos, how can you continue to supply me with weapons?"

Thomas couldn't help but hiss.

He thought that if this was true, then this guy must be a top-notch arms dealer. Who the hell would cause chaos in their own country just to sell weapons?
But seeing "Guo Da Statham's" expressionless face, he thought that "selling weapons to America" ​​was mostly nonsense, and he was actually interested in "Haojie Business Agency".

Because he had his own ideas too!
As an ideal arms dealer, one must have the blood of "wanting the world to be in chaos" flowing in one's veins.

Moreover, upon closer examination, he realized that the proposal did indeed seem to have some commercial potential.

As an arms dealer, he inevitably deals with all sorts of people. He knows all too well how many adventurers and outlaws, spurred by the rumors that "Americans are stupid and rich," are eager to go to the other side of the ocean and pull off a big heist.

However, the fact that the first group of blindly flocking European "heroes" were all caught by the Bureau of Investigation as soon as they disembarked proves that America is by no means an undefended paradise.

Without some connections, even illegal immigration is impossible.

Thinking of this, Thomas even temporarily put aside the arms orders, leaned forward, and asked with great interest, "So, according to your plan, how exactly should our 'business agency' help those European heroes?"

"Guo Da Statham" calmly raised two fingers.

"First, tell the European heroes not to wander aimlessly around America like headless flies. Their first target should be Chicago!"

"There is a talent academy there that can help them systematically understand the rules of the American underworld and better utilize their professional skills."

"Heroes...Academy?" Thomas's mouth dropped open.

This was the first time he had ever heard of this, and he felt incredibly confused!

America actually has academies that train "heroes"?

In his confusion, he seemed to understand a little why America was in such chaos!
It is truly a place where hidden talents and extraordinary individuals emerge in endless succession!
"second,"

"Guo Da Statham's" tone became exceptionally serious, emphasizing,

"Tell the heroes of Europe, don't cause any trouble in Chicago!"
