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
