Chapter 1158: Chapter 979: Showcasing Muscle

Narban said sheepishly, "But... even if Country A agrees to this plan, they also won’t be able to draw out so much money."

Indeed, though Country A is slightly larger than Armenia and has a larger population, its economy is equally poor.

The GDP income is just under twice that of Armenia, and the population is about double as well, so these two countries really are like "hidden dragons and crouching tigers"—one worse off than the other.

To really let Country A come up with settlement fees of ten or twenty billion US dollars for Armenia at one stroke, they would probably have to sell their underwear and still couldn’t manage it...

Therefore, Narban was afraid that in the end, the people would have returned, but the money wouldn’t have been received!

Then his side would be in deep trouble, likely driving the national finance to bankruptcy.

This matter must be firmly set in advance, not seeing the money, he definitely couldn’t relent!

Wang Ye gave a light smile, he actually hadn’t counted on Country A being able to truly cough up so much money; in the end, Russia would have to foot the bill...

No choice, wanting to be the boss and have a bunch of followers listen to you, well, it’s necessary to pay some price.

Even the United States, such a powerful country, when trying to ally with other countries, all kinds of interest-free loans and various types of aid are indispensable!

The smaller the country, the more pragmatic it is.

Being close to unable to survive, do they even consider any long-term development or future trends?

Obviously not necessary!

Whoever offers more money, they’ll follow them.

...

Taking this opportunity, Wang Ye again presented his "Mikhail Plan" and talked about it, leaving Narban feeling spirited and eager to join this Economic Cooperation Organization immediately.

Comparative to any Collective Security Organization, obviously, Wang Ye’s Economic Cooperation Organization was more appealing.

Just by joining this cooperation organization, they would at least be able to "divide" thirty billion US dollars a year...

Even though Armenia is a small country with a low population and unimportant geographical location, not getting much of a share, but managing to get ten billion or so US dollars a year is still possible, right?

Getting that much money was indeed a windfall for them!

"Mr. Mikhail, the plan you proposed is wonderful!

I am now representing Armenia and express our desire to apply to join this Economic Cooperation Organization.

And I also believe, with such a powerful and generous country willing to help the neighboring brother countries, whether it’s the Collective Security Organization or Mikhail Plan Organization, both will achieve their desired effects and will also gain the eager participation and welcome from all neighbouring countries!"

Narban said, brimming with excitement.

Although this time Mikhail had come as Russia’s full authority envoy to mediate the dispute between Armenia and Country A without providing the result Armenia most wanted, the proposed solution was still quite reasonable.

Armenia wanted people, Country A wanted land, and eventually, Russia was willing to pay, taking these "poor brothers" forward together.

Well, what else was there to say, they would definitely prefer to continue mixing with this "big brother".

After all, historically, they were all "blood brothers," with Russian as the main common language, naturally more familiar to each other.

...

Wang Ye changed the topic, smiling and said, "To ensure that the disputes in the Nagorno-Karabakh region calm down, thus I hope that your government could immediately announce that all armed forces should be withdrawn from the conflict area. Of course, when I visit Country A tomorrow, I will make the same request to them."

Narban hesitated a bit, "But... what if Country A takes the opportunity to seize control of the Nagorno-Karabakh region? I can’t trust them."

This too was a realistic concern. Wang Ye did not respond but looked towards Shao Yigu, sitting beside him, gesturing for him to speak.

Shao Yigu, sitting straight beside Wang Ye, attentively listened to the conversation between Wang Ye and Narban.

Now that it was his turn to speak, he immediately said:

"As the rotating chair of the Collective Security Organization, our country bears the responsibility of ensuring the regional safety of member states. As conflict has erupted in the Nagorno-Karabakh region, after thorough consideration, we have decided to dispatch peacekeeping forces to Nagorno-Karabakh!"

The armed forces of your country and Country A need to fully withdraw from Nagorno-Karabakh within a set time, and during this period, whether the residents of Nagorno-Karabakh choose to stay or return to Armenia, their safety will be the responsibility of our dispatched peacekeeping forces.

In this process, if either your country or Country A sends armed forces into the Nagorno-Karabakh region again, it will be seen as a provocation and a threat and will face retaliation from the peacekeeping forces!"

Narban’s mouth gaped open, he truly hadn’t expected Russia to make such a decisive move without notifying the disputing parties and directly dispatching peacekeeping forces into the Nagorno-Karabakh region.

Of course, since Russia already had a military base in the Nagorno-Karabakh region, equipped with a military airport, barracks, and supply warehouses, it was convenient to send additional troops there.

However, he hadn’t received any news about Russia sending troops to Nagorno-Karabakh.

Could it be that they had just airdropped a few people there?

Thus, he tentatively asked, "May I ask, how many peacekeeping troops did your side dispatch this time? If it’s too few..."

He didn’t continue, but the implication was clear.

Shao Yigu grinned, "We deployed seventy deployments of Il-76 large transport aircraft, air-dropping an integrated brigade there, including two thousand five hundred combat personnel and over two hundred combat vehicles!"
