Chapter 609 - 617: Turning the Tables
Yang Yi hadn’t been mixed up in Africa, so he didn’t know how war was waged there, but according to Zhang Yong, the heaviest firepower they had was mortars and rocket launchers, and having a 107mm rocket launcher was considered a big killer.
But in Ukraine, the skirmishes had also been minor; however, after the Ukrainian turmoil, going out to fight without at least a heavy cannon became downright embarrassing.
So what Jethro said was true; Ferdinand thought he was formidable, but that depended on where and who he was up against. Not to mention the weapons that could be deployed between two arms dealers at war, even in a basic brawl, Ferdinand was no match.
The men lying in the yard with their arms dangling were the most vivid example.
Ferdinand was left speechless by Jethro’s words, but being speechless didn’t mean he was convinced.
But Jethro hadn’t finished speaking.
"Your biggest reliance is your ability to fight, but your men can’t beat my bodyguards. Who else can you rely on? The Fearless Mercenary Corps? The people your boss sent you? But the thing is, if you can only give orders to go and ’kill someone for me,’ and cannot say ’come with me and let’s kill someone,’ then what’s your purpose here?"
The difference between ’go for me’ and ’come with me’ is significant.
What Deyo now needs is someone capable of fighting and killing, but Ferdinand and his loyal followers had been exposed by Jethro’s bodyguards. So what value did Ferdinand still hold?
