Mountain Eagle faintly heard a conversation outside the door. He was sitting on a chair inside the cabin, watching Galahad bring over a tray with a teapot and cup.
Seeing the old man pour some black tea, then adding sugar and milk, Mountain Eagle politely declined his offer and drank a flavorful cup of black tea...
The tea was rich and slightly astringent but smooth on the palate!
Mountain Eagle couldn't help but take another sip, and then said to Galahad, who was elegantly sipping his milk tea, "This is very good black tea. You have great taste. Is it from Sri Lanka?"
Galahad smiled and nodded, saying, "Indeed, this is the finest black tea from a mountainous region in Sri Lanka. If you like it, you can take some with you when you leave."
Mountain Eagle naturally nodded in acceptance of Galahad's kindness, then said, "What did you want to talk about by bringing me in here?"
Galahad paused for a moment, then said, "Arthur reached an agreement with the CIA through the Military Intelligence Bureau. Robbin and the others will be extradited to England for trial next month."
Mountain Eagle was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but give a thumbs up...
He had a deep impression of several members of the Round Table Knights, especially that Robbin.
It was natural for these guys to be in jail in Thailand, but he hadn't expected them to be extradited to England.
Mountain Eagle had always thought it would be the United States extraditing them, considering their actions had caused huge losses to the United States.
Now this was the outcome...
Mountain Eagle didn't know how Arthur of the Round Table Knights had managed it, but one thing was clear to him, once these prisoners were sent back to England, he would lose his leverage over the Round Table Knights.
Galahad mentioning this clearly meant that he wanted to have a relatively fair discussion with Mountain Eagle.
Looking at the serious expression on the old man's face, Mountain Eagle shrugged his shoulders and nodded, "This is good news for you. I wouldn't consider those guys my enemies.
Don't worry, I won't create obstacles in this matter!
We're short on time, so whatever you have to say, say it now..."
Galahad slightly nodded and said, "Arthur is very interested in the cooperation you proposed, and wants to know some details before deciding how much to invest?
You know, the Round Table Knights handle a lot of business, and as a leader, Arthur has to make some trade-offs."
Mountain Eagle replied with a smile, "You're right, now you all need to use Indian cannon fodder to fill the gaps, which shows that your business volume is really large."
Galahad, frowning and looking at Mountain Eagle's slightly sarcastic tone, said, "You think we want this?
Years ago, the Round Table Knights were a team similar to Arctic Fox, but we later realized that as our reputation and commissions grew, the tasks became more dangerous.
You should know better than I do, the path that Arctic Fox insists on simply isn't viable.
Commercialization is the only way for the Round Table Knights to sustain in the long run, so we old heads have stepped back to create enough salary space for Arthur, allowing her to fill our vacancies with better, younger people.
The Indians are a new experiment. We're eager to expand our scale..."
As Galahad said this, looking at Mountain Eagle with a face of agreement, he pondered for a moment and said, "Mountain Eagle, I'll be frank with you, Arthur was once a spy for Military Intelligence Six, and a large part of our past business came from Military Intelligence Six.
But with the decline inside England, political contraction, and budget cuts, it has become difficult for us to receive well-paid missions from Military Intelligence Six.
The Indians are our attempt to expand our operational scope, not limiting ourselves to a small-scale special operations model.
But we took on the mission on the Thailand side, not only offending the CIA, but Arthur used up all her favors to bail out Robbin and the guys.
Now we can't take contractor work from UK and US, we need to look for new business.
We are very interested in the mission in Syria, but..."
Mountain Eagle sighed and said, "But you are not satisfied with just taking on missions for commission, you want in!"
Both being top-notch Mercenary Groups, Arctic Fox and the Round Table Knights, because of different high-level ideas, have started walking completely different paths.
If Arctic Fox could be like the Round Table Knights, Mountain Eagle would have a lot less trouble!
But Arctic Fox is unique, if Silver Fox was like Galahad, if Arctic Fox also used cannon fodder, Mountain Eagle wouldn't really care.
Galahad seemed to know what Mountain Eagle was thinking, he paused, then said, "We were once competitors with Arctic Fox, but now we've decided to step off the same track.
The business in Syria, there's no need for two forces of similar nature to clash.
We can step back..."
Mountain Eagle nodded in admiration...
This old man's thinking was clear, he knew that even if there were problems within Arctic Fox, the core members of the Round Table Knights couldn't match Arctic Fox's competitiveness.
And with Mountain Eagle around, they can't be the most important one, so they opt for negotiation...
Galahad didn't specify, but Mountain Eagle knew, this guy essentially wanted two things...
One is to take on high-frequency, low-intensity small-scale tasks, using quantity to replace quality, creating profits thereby.
