Chapter 598: Take action
"Of course I'm interested, but I didn't just be a big boss and a soy sauce maker in the past, right?"
Playing soy sauce, such a classic Internet phrase Zhang Nan also taught the people around him, and Nicole can also understand it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Don't worry, not only don't you use soy sauce, it's quite high! The research project of the World Cultural Heritage Conservation Association and the University of Pennsylvania has a lot of funders, and the hellish place in Sudan is thinking about our money.
Just throw a little bit of it, as long as you don't blow up someone's pyramid, you should be able to find something of interest. ”
Tall, Nicole understands this.
"Alright, I'll come back and meet with the professors at your school. ”
Hearing this, Nicole on the other end of the phone said with a smile: "You still go directly to Sudan, it's a waste of time to come and go." Give me the address when you get to Paris and I'll fax you. ”
"Are they in Sudan?"
"Right there, it's said to be dying of starvation......"
Hunger is not dying, that is, it is a bit exaggerated: not only archaeological cleanup, world cultural heritage application review, but also a project with the local government to repair the pyramids.
However, with very little money in the early stage, and now that there is war in southern Sudan, there are some problems with security in the north.
The original funding fund decided that it was not suitable to save money and that the money might be used by the government to fight the war, so it stopped funding.
The project stopped, and the archaeological clean-up work on the other side had to be stopped: first, the Sudanese were a little awkward, but in the previous life, they were divided into two sides when they arrived in Sudan, which would even be paid to the local laborers.
Nicole knew that her man liked those ways, so she agreed, but she also added a request to Zhang Nan: she had to go back to New York before the middle of next month, because her big belly was 8 months old at that time, and the last one hoped that her lover would be by her side for more than a month.
Otherwise, if there is a problem, the man is half a world away, and this is ugly!
No problem, Zhang Nan estimated that he would have to run in less than a month - it was Sudan, not a resort, and there was not much to attract except sand, the Nile River and super bighorn cattle.
After the phone call here, as soon as I talked to the guys about going to Sudan during the meal, everyone had no idea, and they were honestly ready to go to the Nile to eat sand.
Guan Boss didn't worry much about safety at first, because he heard Zhang Nan say that all the subordinate agencies of the United Nations were involved in this trip, so the Sudan also sent security personnel, and the people who went could also carry weapons, and the number of people seemed to be unlimited.
However, Guan Xingquan also had doubts and asked Zhang Nan: "They don't limit the number of people, aren't they afraid that others will send an army over?"
"Brother Guan, the United Nations and the general archaeological teams and expedition teams are actually poor, and the number of people who go should be streamlined and streamlined, and those who do manual work can find local laborers anyway, and it is cheap.
What kind of World Cultural Heritage Protection Association, if you go to a rich country, you can eat and drink spicy food, and go to Sudan?
As long as the fuck eats sand, how can people have the money to receive these masters, so the Sudanese are not worried about too many people going. There are also United Nations personnel, and if more armed personnel are sent, the Sudanese can be more assured. ”
Listening to the situation is a bit complicated, coupled with the literature and art of southern Sudan that we talked about yesterday, Boss Guan still said: "Then I have to bring you more people over." ”
Zhang Nan shrugged his shoulders casually, saying that it didn't matter.
After discussing with Thomas, Boss Guan decided to transfer people from West Virginia to prepare a platoon of field troops for Zhang Nan, plus more than 20 bodyguards around him, even if he encountered hundreds of militants, there would be no problem.
In fact, Boss Guan is a little too optimistic about the messy armed forces in Africa, and it is not a problem for such a top security contractor to strengthen the platoon and defeat the infantry of a regiment on the other side.
Now Thomas was a little busy and started calling: for the safety of the boss, this resource must be utilized.
And it would also test the ability of the "combined forces" to react -- to move personnel and equipment halfway around the world as quickly as possible.
Without waiting to go to Paris to read the fax, Thomas grasped the general situation of the "archaeological team" in Sudan and reported to Zhang Nan: "Boss, the destination is about 240 kilometers away from Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, and about 5 kilometers away from the Nile, but it is in an environment where the Gobi and the desert are intertwined.
I'd recommend dropping your car in the U.S. and staying in one of our desert terrain rapid deployment camps, which are too lazy to die for near the prestigious spots. ”
Zhang Nan has just come out of the semi-desert, but he has lived in his own camp before, and the conditions are okay, and they have been under construction for a few months.
Since Thomas would have such a proposal, it is estimated that the conditions on the Sudanese side are really bad.
"Is there a problem on the Sultan's side?"
Thomas said very seriously: "There is no problem at all, we are following the path and name of the United Nations, and the Sudanese will only welcome it." ”
"Then take action!"
The bodyguards who are not on duty are also talking about the Sultan, because most of the guys only know that the pyramids of ancient Egypt are not only in Egypt, but also in Sudan.
If people are curious, then go and see the pyramids, and eat two taels of sand by the way.
On the morning of February 8, the "Orient Express" arrived in Paris.
Zhang Nan is going to Sudan, and some people are going to be unhappy, because Lilia is going back to the United States.
Little Lily and Alice are still going to Paris Gerbleux Airport today, where Zhang Nan's private plane is parked -- 767 will go to West Virginia in the United States in a few hours, and then the day after tomorrow will take a platoon of security contractors from the "United Forces" to return to Paris.
Those people will not get off the plane, and when the time comes, after Zhang Nan gets on the plane, they will take off again and go to Africa.
As for the materials such as vehicles and semi-rigid rapid deployment of large tents, the "joint forces" directly leased two C141 strategic transport aircraft from the Ministry of Defense.
In the name of the United Nations, the US military is happy to be able to go to Sudan in style, not to mention that there are private companies to pay for it.
After signing a series of unequal treaties with the villain, Thomas first returned to the United States with Alice's mother and daughter, while Zhang Nan needed to stay in Paris for about forty-eight hours.
Arrive at the Ritz Paris in a French security company vehicle linked by Amex and find that there is nothing to do.
Visiting a flea market?
I just got off the antique-like "Orient Express", and I will stay in the Ritz Hotel, which can be regarded as an antique, and I am not interested in it for the time being.
Simply tell Boss Guan: "Let the guys go out for a walk, some of them shouldn't have been to Paris yet"
There is no need for 20 people to follow in the hotel, and Boss Guan also thinks that he can change shifts and let the guys relax.
Then, Zhang Nan dug out his communication book in the room and dialed a local phone in Paris.
"Hello dear Lisa, I'm Alan... I'll be in Paris, I don't know if I'll have time to have dinner together in the evening..."
