Everyone present understood what the director of foreign affairs meant, but there was such a big commotion in London that the English officials would not believe that there were no morons and idiots, and this mole might even have a high position.
So they would rather believe in William than ask the England official for help, "Do your best."
After hanging up the satellite link, Trum Bull leaned back on the boss's chair with a headache, clutching his forehead and trying to find a solution. He didn't ask the English for help. It would take three hours for their latest special forces to drop into London.Just when everyone was at a loss, there was a knock on the door of the meeting room.
"Come in," called Trum-Bull.
"Sir, I've thought of it, I've thought of it." As soon as the door opened, the church in military uniform walked in quickly, and shouted excitedly to the people present,
"Sir, we must ask William Devonhill for help. I even suspect that Chief Benjamin has been in his sight. If he doesn't say anything or rescue him immediately, the biggest possibility is to wait for the maximum benefit."
"What do you mean?" The people sitting were confused by the words of the church, and Trum-Bull said anxiously, "Damn it, just say what you know."
"Remember what William Devonhill said before?" Church excitedly said, "He said he knew that Benjamin Barrel and Michael Banning were still alive, even uninjured.
Normally, there was nothing wrong with this, but if he thought about it, how did he know that the person next to Benjamin must be Banning, and he was very sure that neither of them were injured, given that they had just experienced a plane crash.
Does this mean that there is a 50.00% probability that William Devonhill's people have been following Benjamin and Banning after the crash, and they even know where they are now? "
"No, no, no" the church muttered as they walked around, and suddenly patted their foreheads, "Gad, I'm so stupid, based on what I know about William, he must know 100% where Benjamin is?"
The church then yelled at the person who brought him in, "Pull up the video call with William".
Trum Bull nodded to the man, and soon the video of the communication with William appeared on the big screen on the wall of the conference room, and the church pointed to William who had just appeared, "He said he was taking a nap, pay attention to the pajamas on him "
Chapter 486. Chapter 480 The beginning of the sixth hereditary duke
Everyone looked at William's pajamas and found nothing unusual, "What's the problem?"
"Would the pajamas of those who have taken an afternoon nap be so flat and wrinkle-free?" the church said directly, "Of course not."
Trum interjected, "But this only shows that he is lying to us and doesn't care about the safety of Benjamin and the United States."
"That's right, of course William may not have our interests in mind, but if he really doesn't care, he can completely not tell us the news about Benjamin and Banning, pretending to be completely ignorant, lest we accuse him of rescue later. Ineffective, trouble him.
But the fact is that he directly told us about Benjamin and Banning. What does this mean?
Gad, this bastard is waiting for the right time. When he is in the most dangerous moment, he suddenly tells us that he knows where Benjamin is, and what can we do if he can even rescue Benjamin?
Watching Benjamin die, NO, no one dares to do anything, the result is that as long as our interests are not endangered, William Devon Hill can make any conditions,
We must also promise him, otherwise what awaits us, we will be torn apart by the entire nation."
"Well, a good guess," Trum Bull said dubiously, "I hope your guess is right, tell me, what should we do."
"Negotiate terms with him. I believe that as long as we give him real benefits, William Devonhill will be able to rescue Benjamin safely. Even if we delay for a while so as not to arouse our suspicion, it must be that he is sure that Benjamin It's safe for now."
Hearing the terms of the negotiation, everyone couldn't help but fell silent. Of course it's okay to talk, and if the church's guess just now is true, then they have grasped the opportunity to a certain extent.
Of course, this is also an intelligence opportunity. If you really want to impress William, who dares to use the safety of the leader of the United States as a bargaining chip, it will definitely not work if there is no real benefit.
But they can exchange their own interests, not to mention any benefits, if they are not suitable, they will definitely face the criticism of their opponents and the scrutiny of some departments.
Seeing that everyone was hesitating, the church smiled and said, "Maybe we don't need to use our own interests to make William's heart move."
"What do you mean?" the people present were surprised.
"Does Amir Barkawi have a lot of assets in England or other countries?" Church asked with a smile.
"Of course, just as we just found out, the shares of industrial companies linked to Barkawi in London are no less than 4 million U.S. dollars."
"It's a bit small if it's only 4 million US dollars." The church looked embarrassed, thought for a while, and then said, "Then what are the assets of these industries or companies added up?"
"About 20 billion".
Everyone is smart and immediately understood what the church meant. Trum Bull hesitated and said, "Even if we can produce evidence, it will be very troublesome to confiscate these properties and companies, and the English officials will not let this go to save themselves. loss of opportunity".
"This is a problem."
The church put his hands in his trouser pockets strangely, and said after a while, "Then if we take the initiative to hint to King Philip and the English officials that we hope to grant William Devonhill the title of hereditary duke,
It should not be difficult for us to commend him for his outstanding contribution in this crisis that endangers the entire capital society, and we will not lose any of our interests."
After talking about the church, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, "At the same time, it is suggested that the fiefdom should be in the tens of thousands of acres of land around Oxford City. Anyway, it has been bought by William, and it will save a lot of trouble as a fiefdom.
I don’t think William would refuse this kind of thing that can help the Devonhill family, and even use it as a condition to force him to take less of the assets of the Barkawi family.”
Trum shook his head and said with emotion, "That's a good idea, but in this era, a hereditary duke, gad, how many years has the English royal family not granted a hereditary title?"
The Minister of State who was watched by Trum shrugged, "Let's not talk about the duke, there is not even the lowest hereditary baron, and even in the past 100 years, there have been titles that could not find an heir and have been taken back by the royal family.
It’s a headache to think about it, we are actually thinking about how to push a boy under the age of 20 to the title of hereditary duke.”
"Hahaha", everyone burst into laughter.
"It's really absurd, but if things can be done, then all we have to do is publicly say something that is good for William Devonhill, and then put some pressure on England in private, and the rest is a headache for the English people."
"Hahaha"
After laughing, another person continued, "As long as William Devonhill agrees to this condition, even if he only loses [-] million US dollars in wealth, it is a victory for us.
And thinking about being rescued by him from France, Germany, the leaders of the three countries of Italy, King Philip and half of the upper echelons of England, plus our support, this is not difficult in my opinion,
Even if we try our best to report his achievements to the whole world, the possibility of support from ordinary people in England is very high. Just like the church said, the fief is owned by his family, and he is the heir of the hereditary earl, so there is room for manipulation. It's still huge."
"Okay, gentlemen, these are just our guesses, let's talk to our future Duke first."
Trum-Bull asked someone to link to William again through the satellite channel. This time, Trum-Bull and the others didn't have to wait long, and the video link was connected in only ten seconds.
