Bab 530: Topic 457_1

Morris was someone who played by the rules in business, while Gao Guang was the type who broke the rules to snatch business, and Lloyd—he was the man who rewrote the rules.

"Just ask Morris how to play."

In this Dubai deal, Morris was already out of the picture. After Lloyd arrived, all that remained was a formality.

Yet the formality wasn't over. At best, Lloyd was a middleman, but he must have had the backing of the real power faction within the Pentagon, so he could speak on behalf of the Pentagon, not just as a retired Major General.

But there was more than just Lloyd. Lloyd was just a key link, but concerning this deal alone, there were more involved in the entire chain of interests than just Lloyd and the Pentagon.

If Lloyd was representing a group from the Pentagon to make some money, then Gapero could represent the CIA.

Gapero was the Director of the CIA's Middle East Office, and among the entire United States intelligence system, he was already a significant figure.
