Chapter 465: Super Volcano

On September 25, all the goods were successfully loaded onto the yacht "Sunshine Star" docked at the Port of Hamburg, and Zhang Nan did not take the yacht back to New York, but took the plane all the way east. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the last route to Mumbai, it took two days to reach its destination, Manila.

Jenny returned to New York from West Germany, and this trip included Zhang Nan, Xiang Weirong, Thomas, Kwan Xingquan, Randy, Lin Man, Paul, Alyosha, Zack, Chen Hao and Karimi, a total of 11 people.

The people sent by Thomas had already gone to the Philippines to demarcate two training bases, and through contacts with the Philippine military, they successfully completed the lease contracts for the two locations, all of which were done before Zhang Nan and others arrived in Berchtesgaden.

It's not cheap, but it's not expensive: 5 years of rent add up to $1.5 million, and you pay 800,000 for the first three years.

The Philippine monkeys are very cunning, and the place chosen by the "Joint Forces" defense and security company is in the mountainous area, and although the area is not small, there is not much other use value there.

There is not even valuable wood, except for some worthless miscellaneous wood that can be used as firewood, and the rest is worthless.

The payment was not made once a year, it was the lowest price after negotiations, and Thomas estimated that at least 500,000 of the $800,000 would go into the pockets of Filipino officials.

However, Zhang Nan doesn't care about this money, compared to the benefits that may be obtained, the $800,000 is not even a drop in the bucket.

It's not 1.5 million, I don't plan to pay at all in the next two years, it's just a gimmick, if you really have a training base, you don't need a place for monkeys!

On the 27th, after a one-night stay in a hotel near Mumbai Airport, Gulfstream 4 took off again and flew directly to Manila International Airport in the Philippines.

This part of the voyage needs to avoid Vietnamese airspace, so it is a long voyage of more than 7,500 kilometers to make a small circle over the Gulf of Thailand and the South China Sea.

Five or six hours after the plane took off, Zhang Nan, who had slept again, woke up and looked at his watch.

Very unhappy, unhappy with my own plane.

It's too small, and the legs are too short.

"I'm going to have to buy a 767-300ER this time, I'm going to go crazy with this guy again!"

Hearing Zhang Nan's complaints, everyone laughed, only Thomas said: "Boss, there are more than 100 million, if it is luxuriously modified, it is estimated that it will be 150 million." ”

Zhang Nan raised the backrest of the electric seat, sat up straight and said: "One hundred and five hundred and fifty is one hundred and fifty, this is all over the world, if you sit on this gadget again, Lao Tzu will have to live a few years less."

There should be a large bedroom, a bar, and a recreation room. That yacht can only be used twice a year, or as a transport ship, this plane is different, at least ten or twenty times a year, it must be big enough and comfortable enough!"

When Xiang Weirong heard this, he asked, "You really bought it?"

"When I went to Xiangjiang last year, I said that I would buy it when I made 10 billion, and now it has already exceeded 10 billion, buy!"

Saying that, he patted the seat, "This one is okay to use in the United States, and it's okay to go to Europe, but it's still not good to run all over the world." ”

This will make everyone understand that the boss is not talking nonsense, and he is really determined to buy a 767.

Then buy it, who doesn't like a big plane, at least there's a lot more space inside, and it's better to be able to walk around when you're idle than in this little jar.

The latest extended range version of the Boeing 767 can fly over the Pacific Ocean, and even if the private jet is fully fueled, it will generally not reach the maximum design take-off weight, and the flight range will be longer, such an aircraft is what Zhang Nan really needs.

After complaining, looking at the time of two or three hours, Zhang Nan opened the office board in front of the chair and took out a few maps and materials from his briefcase.

One is a clear aerial map of the vicinity of Mount Pinatubo, about 90 kilometers northwest of Manila, but it was made in the late '40s.

There is also a map of the vicinity of Clark Air Force Base, made during the Vietnam War, and the area around Mount Pinatubo, a massive U.S. military base at the foot of the eastern slope of Mount Pinatubo, about 30 kilometers from the summit of the highest mountain.

Thomas has a relationship with the old antiques he got from the U.S. military's mapping department, although it is a standard military map, and it is classified as a secret level, but it can be obtained casually with a little relationship.

It's too old to be kept a secret.

The Clark Air Force Base and the U.S. Subic Naval Base, dozens of kilometers to the west, surround Mount Pinatubo, like two big nails embedded in the South China Sea!

Two of Zhang's targets on the trip were in the mountains of Mount Pinatubo, but not on the side of Clark Air Force Base, but in the southwestern part of the mountains near Subic Bay.

After asking the professional researchers of the three libraries to collect the gold materials of the Japanese army in World War II separately, and after all the materials were sorted out one by one, Zhang Nan found that the researchers of the three libraries were all real experts.

And then...

Then it's time to make your own fortune!

It stands to reason that the gold hiding points that should have been discovered by the CIA at the end of 45 and 46 are not on the three documents, and they may still be lying quietly in caves and tunnels.

Then Zhang Nan got the maps of various specifications of Luzon Island in the Philippines that Thomas obtained, except for a small number of today's civilian maps, most of them were early military maps.

Then Zhang Nan discovered, or remembered, a big problem: we must hurry up, otherwise there will be no chance!

It's not that it's inconvenient to do things in the Philippines in the future, and the Filipino monkeys will set up trouble for themselves, but there are two points in the mountain area of Mount Pinatubo, not far from Subic Bay.

There's a super bomb there, and in three years it's going to explode, and it's going to affect the whole world!

The aerial image Thomas took was very different from the satellite image of the mountains north of Manila that he remembered, and it was clear at a glance that the area would be fragmented in 20 years, and it would still be a green landscape.

Then Zhang Nan thought of the supervolcano eruption 3 years later!

Mount Pinatubo is an active volcano that has been stable for 600 years, but on June 15, 1991 there was an explosive eruption!

The eruption was one of the largest volcanic eruptions in the 20th century and the second largest in the century (the largest being the 1912 eruption of Alaska's Novaraputa volcano), spewing massive amounts of ash and pyroclastic flows.

The eruption was so powerful that the height of the peaks was reduced by about 300 meters!

The eruption also ejected 20 million tons of sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere, which reduced sunlight from the Earth by 10 percent, resulting in a two-year volcanic winter on Earth.

Over the next five years, the global average temperature dropped by 0.25°C.
