Jones smiles appreciatively...his two new associates just
might be the solution to getting this job taken care of...

Jones said to Guldur and Foxmore "There is a small government
located some distance away;  I suppose they call it a kingdom;
and we need to do some things with...and perhaps, to...them.
The less profitable part of the project is covert delivery of 
weapons to them.  The weapons have already been paid for,
so we don't have to worry about *_that_* part of the deal.
Then, we ...remove....the current ruler, and install a 'useful
idiot'.  At that point, all we need to do is keep our;  shall we
say, 'appointed' ruler, in power for awhile.  Eventually we'll
want to leave...<Jones smiles coldly>...at that point, we'll
want to confiscate the treasury.  Not <Jones' smile expands>
that we would *_steal_* their money;  they'll owe us for our
services, and we'll just be collecting what they owe us.
<Jones becomes more serious>  Can I help it if they think
we have a long term interest in the area? 
 
<And, Jones thinks, if they don't balk at this...maybe they
won't mind too much when we really get down and dirty>
