After hearing Charlie's words, Porter could not help but ask, "Mr. Wade, how do you plan to talk to them about this matter? I'm worried that they no longer have any trust in Ten Thousand Armies now..."
Previously, when Charlie was in Syria to negotiate with the government on Hamed’s behalf, he had put a label on Ten Thousand Armies as he said that Ten Thousand Armies was intending to parasitize from within Syria. So, the Syrian side had hated Ten Thousand Armies to the core. Otherwise, they would not have arrested all those fifteen thousand soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies.
However, Charlie did not feel that this would be a problem, and he said indifferently, "As long as you can grasp the other party's psychological expectations, there will then be a probability of negotiation. After all, there is no permanent enemy in this world, and everything also depends on the size of the interests involved."
As he spoke, Charlie then added, "The situation on their side has changed a lot now. The defense of an armed opposition force such as Hamed has also skyrocketed. Not to mention the government, but it is also a pipe dream for Ten Thousand Armies to try and bring Hamed down in the absence of super heavy weapons and machinery."
"Moreover, the other opposition forces have now started to follow suit, and they are imitating Hamed's method. They are starting to dig deep holes and store food in order to strengthen their internal defense while building large permanent fortifications to store up large amounts of supplies and ammunition."
"So, it can be foreseen in the future that the government will have no way to take out the opposition forces. However, the opposition forces will also not be able to afford to leave their strong fortress and carry out an offensive battle outside. So, they would definitely enter a state of mutual balance where they would not be able to do anything to each other."
Speaking of this, Charlie continued with a serious expression on his face, "In this state of mutual checks and balances, the government will be relatively insecure. After all, they cannot cower in the mountain fortifications but also continue to hold on to the capital, major cities, and transportation choke points. All these places are easy to attack but difficult to defend. So, they will certainly be surrounded by insecurity for a long time. The more that is the case, the more they will need some form of extra security."
Porter asked him, "Mr. Wade, what you mean is that Ten Thousand Armies will provide some security protection for the government in exchange for their land-use rights?"
"Correct." Charlie nodded and said, "If they have this need, they can then completely provide us with a
piece of land. We will use it as a base and vigorously develop and construct it. At the same time, we will also sign an agreement with them that if they are attacked, we will help them to fight against the enemy fully. This way, it will also be a form of guarantee for them."
After saying that, Charlie added, "The recent events in Afghanistan have shocked the whole world, and I think they must also be feeling very nervous in their hearts."
There had been a regime change in Afghanistan some time ago, and the opposition forces had officially unified the whole territory. With this kind of lesson and experience learned, the Syrian side was probably also under great defensive pressure.
Therefore, in this situation, it would definitely be beneficial for them if they collaborated with Ten Thousand Armies.
Porter naturally knew about the situation in Afghanistan very well, and he nodded his head repeatedly, "As you said, I also think that Syria is in dire need of a greater sense of security. If we talk to them properly, the matter with relation to the base should be able to come to fruition."
As he said that, Porter sighed and said with incomparable emotion, "All these years, I have been trying to find a suitable place for Ten Thousand Armies to build a base and take root somewhere only t o try for so many years and still fail to realize this
wish..."
Charlie smiled faintly and spoke up, "Then this time, w e will try to help you guys to solve this problem."
All the soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies were very excited.
