158: Sign the agreement and decisively join the war.

The Middle East.

A place rich in ore and oil.

It possesses the world's most abundant resources, which has continuously led to war.

These wars are fought over political power, over resources, and sometimes simply for the pleasure of war itself.

Behind these wars are often countries with ulterior motives.

These countries provide weapons for the conflicts!

Tatar.

Jiang Chuan's plane landed in this wealthy Middle Eastern country, which is also the safest country in the Middle East.

"Xiao Chuan, long time no see."

As Jiang Chuan exited the airport, an excited voice reached his ears.

Jiang Chuan followed the voice and saw that Dragon Soul had personally come to pick him up. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother Long, I didn't expect you to come in person."

"You are the boss behind our Dragon Soul Mercenary Group. The fact that the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group has developed to this extent is all thanks to you, so of course I must personally welcome our big boss."

Dragon Soul said with a teasing smile.

"Brother Long, you've gone bad. When we first met, you wouldn't have said such things."

Jiang Chuan was torn between laughter and tears at Dragon Soul's teasing.

"Sigh, leaving the military camp has indeed brought about many changes, but the bond between us will never change. As long as I am still with the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group, you will always be the true boss, the true helmsman of the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group."

Dragon Soul also laughed, recalling their past, then looked at Jiang Chuan and solemnly spoke the latter words, expressing his loyalty.

"Brother Long, I have always trusted you."

"Let's not talk about these things anymore."

"I plan to personally inspect the oil field. If it's suitable, after signing the agreement, our Dragon Soul Mercenary Group can offer assistance."

Jiang Chuan said seriously with a smile.

"I guessed you'd want to see the oil field with your own eyes. Let's go. I've already arranged it with the other party; we can go directly."

"That country is called Kenlida. It's not a very large country, and its government is recognized by the United Nations."

"This small country, Kenlida, has existed for over thirty years, and civil war has never ceased for those thirty-plus years."

"Recently, the country of Kenlida discovered an oil field. That ambitious country got wind of it and consequently supported rebel forces, seeking to seize new political power and thereby indirectly control the entire oil field."

"The Kenlida Official Authorities naturally wouldn't sit idly by, and intense conflicts erupted between the two sides."

"With the backing of that country, the Kenlida rebel forces have more advanced weapons and also receive financial support. As a result, the rebel forces attack fearlessly every time, and the Kenlida government forces are steadily losing ground. Currently, only a few cities have not been captured by the rebels, and the oil field is within those cities."

Dragon Soul recounted Kenlida's recent experiences while driving.

"Brother Long, I have a question."

"Speak."

"Since that country knows about Kenlida's oil field, why doesn't it directly send its Middle Eastern allies to attack Kenlida and seize the entire oil field for itself?"

"That's an unwritten rule in the Middle East."

"Although Middle Eastern countries are chaotic, and wars can break out between nations, once two countries go to war, no other Middle Eastern country will offer assistance. After one country is eliminated, all of that country's resources will become the resources of various Middle Eastern countries, meaning they will be divided up."

"However, as long as that country retains its political power, and its internal government changes, the oil field will naturally remain in the hands of that country. If other countries want to contend for it, they can only do so through conflict."

Dragon Soul also explained with a smile.

That country could indeed send its Middle Eastern allies to attack Kenlida, but they wouldn't gain any benefits. Naturally, they wouldn't do something that requires effort without reward.

Their actions are always aimed at maximizing profit.

Maximizing profit means supporting internal conflict, thereby indirectly controlling the other party. Then, the entire oil field of Kenlida would belong to them.

They are very shrewd when it comes to such calculations!

"I see."

Jiang Chuan also understood why Kenlida would seek help from the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group. After all, the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group does not belong to a country; it's just a mercenary group. As long as sufficient compensation is provided, they can fully participate in the war. This is often the case in other Middle Eastern wars, so no country would say anything.

Kenlida is quite far from Tatar. When the two left the country of Tatar, they abandoned their car, and ten armed helicopters appeared before them.

This was an armed helicopter squad, and it was their mode of transport to Kenlida.

The armed helicopters were painted with a large red dragon head, which is the emblem of the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group.

"Depart."

Dragon Soul and Jiang Chuan boarded the armed helicopters. With a command, the armed helicopter formation rapidly advanced towards Kenlida.

Eight hours later, the group arrived in a country in the eastern Middle East. Gunfire echoed everywhere in this country, artillery fire spread, and armed personnel were visible everywhere.

These people included both government forces and rebel forces; when the two sides met, a battle was inevitable.

Jiang Chuan and his group arrived in Kenlida safely, albeit with some close calls, and successfully reached the oil field area that the other party had started to exploit.

Jiang Chuan looked at the medium-sized oil field, which stretched as far as the eye could see, estimated to contain 6 to 8 billion tons.

He had already made up his mind. He immediately had Dragon Soul send someone to negotiate.

They would accept this mission, provided the other party signed an exploitation agreement. The Dragon Soul Mercenary Group would then immediately assist the Official Authorities in suppressing the rebel forces.

"Alright."

Dragon Soul had guessed that Jiang Chuan would agree.

This was a Middle Eastern oil field; no one could refuse.

The oil extracted from these fields could be sold for immense wealth to strengthen the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group, and it could also help solve some of China's energy problems.

The Kenlida Official Authorities were instantly thrilled upon learning that the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group was willing to help.

As long as the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group was willing to act, they could preserve their political power and, with the help of the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group, counterattack the enemy and completely eliminate the rebel forces.

The agreement was successfully signed, and the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group entered Kenlida, directly assisting the government forces in eliminating the rebel forces.

"What? The Dragon Soul Mercenary Group has joined the war, they are helping the government forces against you, and you have already been repelled."

When the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group joined the battle, the rebel forces began to retreat. The rebels could only appeal to their powerful backers for help.

If the rebel forces were eliminated, all the promises they made to their backers would naturally become void.

"I understand. Hold on. I will have the Sirius Mercenary Group and the Zeus Mercenary Group join the war to help you. This time, we will not only help you gain political power but also annihilate the entire Dragon Soul Mercenary Group in one fell swoop."

The powerful backer behind the rebel forces coldly ordered, immediately contacting the two mercenary groups and telling them to join the war!
