Tang Rui watched the battlefield footage, which was so bloody it needed to be blurred.
There was no other way.
It was too gory.
At that moment, his phone rang.
Looking down, he saw it was a call from Prince Salim.
“My friend, we need your support.”
“What kind of support?”
“Meehs, the huge mechs. I’ll transfer 200 billion US dollars immediately, I want to slaughter those heretics.”
Prince Salim was also agitated, wanting to pilot a mech into battle.
‘Tm sorry, the mech was damaged by a lion and is currently out of service for rental. It needs to be repaired.”
Tang Rui spoke with a tone of helplessness, actually wanting to rent it out, but considering the current situation, he decided against it.
“That’s a shame, but if mechs aren’t available, what about other weapons and equipment?” Prince Salim continued to inquire.
“What kind of weapons?”
“Tanks, combat vehicles, missiles, rockets, cruise missiles, any ready-made weapons, I’ll take them all.”
“That’s no problem at all, just send me the list, and I’ll arrange the shipment immediately.”
“Okay, I’ll send the list right away.”
After hanging up, Tang Rui received Prince Salim’s military procurement list. It was extensive.
Rather than coming to buy arms, it was more like they were seeking support and offering benefits.
After reviewing the list, Tang Rui forwarded it to Lin Chao, instructing them to send it to the higher-ups.
Why didn’t the Middle East directly purchase from the military?
Because the military hadn’t accepted the Middle Eastern security contract, but Crimson had, so there was a difference.
In terms of giving gifts and paying protection fees, the Middle Easterners were professionals.
Globally, only Japan and the Koreans could match the Middle East in this regard; others couldn’t.
Like India, even giving money wasn’t clear.
Upon receiving the equipment list, Lin Chao immediately reported it to the military and then directly pulled the goods from the inventory, preparing them for air transport.
Such a large batch of arms wasn’t something other sellers could easily provide, even America and Russia couldn’t do it.
The arms companies in America didn’t have enough inventory and needed production, although they were fast, they couldn’t provide them immediately. Unless they directly took goods from the America military, but that would mean interfering with the interests of the military-industrial complex.
The Russians also couldn’t do it; they had plenty of stock, but it was mostly old junk, poorly maintained weapons, with few advanced equipment.
So, in terms of arms reserves, China wasn’t boasting.
Even with the arms factories being targeted, their stored weapons were enough to fight a war of total mobilization.
Thanks to the large transport aircraft that Tang Rui had previously researched for the military, Chinese global delivery capability had improved by several levels, so the weapons the Middle East needed were shipped to them within a few hours.
Tang Rui didn’t have to do anything and made a huge profit.
Because the order was placed by Crimson, and then sold to the Middle East under their name.
This one transaction brought in a lot of money.
Of course, he wasn’t that greedy.
He only took a 20% commission, earning a mere 180 billion US dollars.
After all, he wanted domestic counterparts to benefit as well, not just eating meat by himself while others only got soup, which would be somewhat embarrassing.
Tang Rui earned a fortune.
The U.S military-industrial complex was similar.
Israel had money, so the military-industrial complex supported them fully.
But it was of little use.
Relying solely on Israel and the military-industrial complex, they still couldn’t control the Congress.
At least the think tanks absolutely disagreed with participating in this meaningless war.
In normal times, they could mediate a bit.
But now both sides were fighting madly.
Who would mediate with whom?
No one bothered.
Of course, the Congress wouldn’t agree to send troops, but they allowed Israel to trade with benefits.
For instance, America’s troops, with their equipment, retired en masse and then signed contracts with mercenary companies, heading straight to the battlefield.
Or the military using all its transport capacity to take weapons and equipment from the arsenal and deliver them to Israel.
America pretended to be oblivious to this.
After all, everyone was well-fed.
So they turned a blind eye and pretended not to see.
Just like that.
Both good Samaritans tacitly didn’t interfere, just making small money.
With both sides supported with arms and their reserves ready,
A major battle erupted.
Though the frontline battles never stopped, it wasn’t a major decisive battle.
Now it was different.
The eighteen-nation coalition had almost all arrived at the frontline, and a real major battle was about to begin.
Neither side announced it.
They just started fighting.
On the Middle Eastern side, the principle was always the same.
Bombs.
After all, it wasn’t their territory or their cities, and all targets were the enemy.
No hesitation, just bomb.
On the coalition side, countless missiles, rockets, and cruise missiles were launched, covering the entire Jerusalem.
It was like a final exam. Which parts were important?
The whole book was.
At the moment, the military commander asked the coalition leadership where to bomb.
The answer was, the whole Jerusalem.
Israel’s side was no joke either. Several destroyers from America’s Fifth Fleet also launched missiles.
Hundreds of missiles flew towards the land.
After the missile launch, America announced the arrest of two naval ship captains..
