NovelEnglishHamed laughed at this tand spoke up, "What | want is for us to keep the peace and stay out of each other's
business. We will not interfere with each other, nor should we attach ourselves to each other. At the stime, |
want to remain in the opposition forces. Otherwise, if | were to change our nature directly, it will not be so easy
forto continue leading my subordinates." Charlie nodded and smiled as he said, "In that case, Brother, you
are actually neutral even when you are apparently opposing the government."
"That's right, that's right." Hamed laughed and said," Brother Wade, to tell you the truth, after being pushed by
you so much, I'm now addicted to digging caves, and | don't want to fight at all!"
Charlie looked at Sayid and smiled as he said, "Look! Isn't this good too?"
Sayid pursed his lips in silence for a moment and then asked, "What about the prisoners of war?"
Charlie laughed and said, "That's simple. Ten Thousand Armies will pay you a compensation of ten thousand US
dollars per person. For fifteen thousand people, that will be one hundred and fifty million US dollars. With this
money, it will be more than enough for you to expand the size of your army properly and also improve and
upgrade the army's weaponry."

Porter had even thought that he would require more than one billion US dollars to settle this matter.
However, he did not expect that Charlie would only promise the other party one hundred and fifty million US
dollars.
Sayid was also obviously a little disappointed. He also knew that Ten Thousand Armies was very rich and he had
been thinking about whether he should take advantage of this opportunity to rip Ten Thousand Armies off.
Regardless, one hundred and fifty million US dollars was not a small amount, but it was honestly not a big
amount either.
So, Sayid coughed twice and said,
l.ne
"Mr. Wade, don't you think that one hundred and fifty million US dollars is too little? In addition, you're asking us
to give one hundred square kilometers of land to Ten Thousand Armies. Ten Thousand Armies should at least be
paying us srent for it then, right? Otherwise, it will be very difficult for us to explain things to the citizens..."
Charlie said generously, "Let's do it this way then, Sayid? You can go back and discuss this matter with your
leaders. In addition to the one hundred and fifty million US dollars of compensation, after you allocate the land to
Ten Thousand Armies, Ten Thousand Armies will also give you one hundred thousand tons of Wheat every year!
Isn't it
inconvenient for you to buy grain? It just so happens that | own my own ocean shipping company, and | will
purchase the wheat from Oskia and deliver the wheat to you directly at your port!"
Charlie knew that for Sayid and his leaders, the main problem at hand was more than just the war, but more of
their basic livelihood.
They were originally the only wheat exporter in the Middle East, but the ongoing war had led to a steady decline
in their wheat production. The shortage of wheat had beca big problem for them.
The cost of one hundred thousand tons of wheat was just a little over two hundred million Oskian dollars, and it
would be less than forty million dollars after conversion to US dollars. However, for them, they would not be able
to get the sprice if they were to import food from overseas.
Besides that, their current financial situation was so bad that giving them a solution of one hundred thousand
tons of wheat a year could really be of great use to them as it would not be a problem for them to feed more
than two hundred thousand people, then.

After Sayid thought about all the
conditions, he had already made his
own judgment in his heart. He felt
that this was a very good and cost-effective deal for his side
they would not only be able to gain a lot of benefits, but they would also
gain a strong ally which w
definitely a good thing.
Moreover, Sayid also knew very well that he had been able to capture the fifteen thousand soldiers from Ten
Thousand Armies not because of his own ability, but simply because he had relied completely on Charlie's help.
So, at this time, he was too embarrassed to continue bargaining with Charlie, and he spoke up and said, "Mr.
Wade, | need to ask for my leader's instructions about this matter. If my leader does not have any opinion, this
matter is settled, then!"
