A flat floor is covered with Huang Cancan Bullet, a man in a suit and a suitcase with his back to the audience. "There are 550 million arms in the world, which means that every twelve people have a gun. The only question is... how do we let the other eleven people have guns." This is the protagonist of this film, You Rui Olof, and this monologue also fully expresses Yuri's ideals (or ambitions).
Yuri, who grew up in Little Odessa, New York, where there are many gangs, fires and conflicts. By chance, he witnessed a bloody gang rage and wanted to do arms business. Then he persuaded him. His own brother Vitali started their dream of chasing wealth together.
In the war-torn Lebanon, the arid and barren Afghan plateau, South America, endless conflicts, Africa, and war-torn Afghanistan, you can see one in all parts of the world. Busy figure, he is smart, he can become a big arms dealer from being unheard, and he can escape inspection by changing the name of the ship. He got the money, but his younger brother became addicted to drugs and was sent in. Addiction treatment center. And all this is just the beginning. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine became independent. He sold and smuggled arms and became rich overnight. Later, with the help of the African President of Liberia, although he reluctantly eliminated his business competitors, he became the world's largest arms supplier.
No matter how successful a person is, there are times when he is lonely, so through careful design, he creates a chance to meet Ava "accidentally". With personal charm and boasting wealth, he won Ava's heart and entered the palace of marriage together. He loves his family and his wife very much. He throws his son's toy gun into the trash can, and he pays to collect his wife's paintings by himself. In order to keep his wife from being sad, he washes his hands in a golden pot and starts a legitimate business. Later, the Liberian president and his son used the opportunity of a meeting at the United Nations to find him. He was defeated once again by himself. He pulled on his younger brother who had just rehabilitated and set foot on the African continent again. In the end, he brought his brother’s body and Diamond returned to the United States. But when he passed the airport security check, a bullet left in Vitali's body sent him to the police station. Not only this bullet, the police have already mastered all his criminal evidence. It turned out that when he set off to Africa that day, Ava, who was followed by the police, followed him with their son, and successfully opened the code of his secret container using his son's birthday, and discovered all the secrets inside.
In the end, Ava took her son and left him, and her mother already denied him and went to jail. If you thought this was the final ending, you were wrong. He was released. It turns out that for a long time, he has been Working with a mysterious figure-Lieutenant Colonel Sarden. This person is a U.S. Army lieutenant colonel, and he represents the U.S. government. For the national interest of the United States, they need arms dealers like Yuri to do transactions and conspiracies that they cannot openly conduct.
Finally, Yuri returned to Africa again, doing what he was best at, transporting "umbrellas" to the Sahara Desert. These "Kings of War", who made their fortunes through war, dominate one side, and are lonely, and their enemies have launched a thrilling life and death confrontation. Their ideals, struggles, success and glory in countless conspiracies and bloody killings, they seem to be worthy of the title of "King of War". However, they have lost the most precious family affection, love, friendship..., all these beautiful things worthy of nostalgia in the world. In addition to money and the tools of killing, what else do they have?
But arms dealers are arms dealers after all. They can only buy and sell, but they don't have the ability to make arms. Who else is capable of making arms besides the country? So I thought of Yuri. A conversation with his opponent in the police station
"Let me tell you what will happen so that you can be prepared. Soon, someone will knock on the door and you will be called outside. In the aisle, there will be someone with a higher rank than you. There. First, he will congratulate you for everything you have done, you will make the world a peaceful place, you will be rewarded or promoted, and then he will tell you that I need to be released. You will oppose, you may be He resigned to threaten him, but in the end, I will be released. The reason why I was released is the same as the reason why you think I will be sentenced. I deal with some people in the world who call myself leaders. Among these people Some people are your enemies’ enemies. The biggest arms dealer in the world is your boss, the President of the United States. He sells more in a day than I do in a year. Sometimes, his fingerprints are found on guns. A very embarrassing thing. Sometimes, he needs freelance workers like me to support the army that he is inconvenient to support. So, you call me a demon, but unfortunately, for you, I am a must The devil that exists."
