Sayid's face suddenly had a look of longing that could not be suppressed.
At this time, Charlie then added, "In addition to that, in order to show the sincerity of Ten Thousand Armies and
to make you feel more at ease, | think that the site you choose for the base of the Ten Thousand Armies can be
in the middle of your capital and the northern mountains. That way, Ten Thousand Armies will be in the middle of
your buffer zone. It will also be an additional layer and barrier of security for you too." The expression on Sayid's
face eased a lot when he heard this.
Due to the current level of development in the country which was still very far behind, the war between them
and the opposition forces was basically still in the category of close contact war. Due to the lack of precise long-
range weapons, regardless of which party wanted to attack the other, they had to send troops to the city. So, if
Ten Thousand Armies' base was sandwiched between the two sides, it could indeed play a good buffer role.
Sayid finally spoke up at this tand asked Charlie," Mr. Wade, how can we trust that Ten Thousand Armies will
cooperate and help us with the defense?

What if Ten Thousand Armies suddenly decides to defect and turn against us to unite with the opposition forces
instead? Wouldn't we be in even more danger, then?"
Charlie waved his hand and said seriously, "This kind of situation will never happen in Ten Thousand Armies from
now on!"
Saying that, Charlie looked at Porter and said indifferently, "Porter, cand explain to Sayid why this situation
will never happen."
Porter nodded and said with a serious expression, " Ten Thousand Armies has already started its internal
transformation. From now on, our mercenary business will follow international regulations more. That is to say, in
the future, our mercenary business will only cooperate with the legal governments of various countries. Other
than that, we will not be taking any other orders."

Charlie then looked at Sayid and smiled as he asked," Sayid, do you understand? Ten Thousand Armies is ready
to whitewash themselves completely. So, as long as Ten Thousand Armies is in your country, they will definitely
cooperate with you If they cooperate with the opposition forces, it will be absolutely against the law. Ten
Thousand Armies will not do this kind of thing."
Having said that, Charlie then added, "And I'll be honest with you too. Out of these opposition forces, aside from
Hamed, who is leading a pretty good life, which other opposition forces is not struggling to make ends meet? Ten
Thousand Armies' annual revenue is more than ten billion dollars. What makes you think that this group of
opposition force will hire them?"
When Sayid heard this, he was already half convinced.
However, out of the basic principle of negotiation, Sayid wanted to hold up a little more. He did not want to show
that he was satisfied so early into the negotiation so that he could at least continue fighting for other benefits.
So, he said to Charlie, "Mr. Wade, | think just these conditions are not enough for us to take out a hundred square
kilometers of land to give to Ten Thousand Armies. Furthermore, Ten Thousand Armies have fifteen thousand

Charlie nodded, waved his hand, and
said, "Sayid, you don't need to be playing psychological warfare with us here either. The reason why |
called everyone together to talk
about this matter is so that net
we can speak our hearts and minds and honestly discuss a solution that is beneficial to each other properly. |
don't intend to satisfy just one party alone."
As he spoke of this, Charlie then added, "Out of this room, | hope that you, as well as Porter and Hamed, can
each reap your own gains. Hamed wants stable development, Ten Thousand Armies wants a rear base, and you
want to reduce a strong enemy and increase an ally." Sayid subconsciously asked "Mr. Wade, why wouldn't | be
adding two allies?"
Charlie laughed and said, "You have to see what Hamed thinks, then."
