Chapter 384: Departure

Just like the border between the United States and Canada, there is no need for security checks to cross the border, Zhang Nan and the others did not go through any security checks at the airport when they left Huangdao City, and they didn't need to knock a commemorative stamp on their serial passports, so they just took out their passports and showed them. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Because Zhang Nan came by private jet, the same way as driving across the U.S.-Canada border: the border between the two countries is completely open, and the same is true in the airport, probably the Canadians feel that the U.S. side has already checked it for themselves.

All the bodyguards' casual outdoor coats are armed underneath, and that's fine: U.S. security companies have agreements with Canadians to bring guns into the country.

It is very strange that a small number of Canadian security companies enter the United States and also have this treatment.

However, I didn't bring a long gun with me on this trip, because the agreement only covers pistols that can be carried in concealment, so it's not a problem for you to be an American bodyguard carrying an assault rifle on Canadian soil, right?

But this is not a problem, Davis and Chen Hao, who arrived early, have already obtained a Canadian gun license -- they received 10.3 million US dollars, and the local government "very generously" gave them 100 "adult ownership and purchase gun licenses".

All the fees for applying for a gun license are only 50 Canadian dollars, adding up to 5,000 yuan, and this person in Northwest Province is really generous!

Use the small trailer in the airport to pull up the equipment, as soon as it comes out, there are two large commercial vehicles, pull up the people and equipment and go to the downtown area of Huangdao City, Chen Hao was busy reporting the preparations for the past few days along the way.

"We have enough field equipment and plenty of insect repellent. Davis and I also bought two Belgian-made FAL automatic rifles and an M700 each. However, the Belgian version is a civilian type, with a triple scope, but it can only shoot semi-automatically. ”

Children over the age of 12 in Canada can apply for hunting guns, and high-powered rifles are more popular in remote areas here.

The probability of men and women in the Northwest Province going out with long guns is as common as that of Chinese farmers today who go out to check on the fields and resist hoes when they have nothing to do.

Fortunately in the city, Canadians in the suburbs and small settlements must carry guns when they go out, unless they are impatient.

The M700 is an absolute classic, and as for the FAL, the favorite of Western mercenaries who crisscrossed Africa ten years ago, it is powerful, accurate, and very reliable!

"Semi-automatic, semi-automatic, we will not go to war, just guard against wolves and polar bears. ”

Besides, the legendary FAL automatic shooting is not controlled by ordinary people, and even in combat, it is often used as a semi-automatic one.

Speaking of this, Zhang Nan suddenly thought of something: "Will there be polar bears in this area?"

"Yes, boss, even brown bears, there are bears in the north of these two or three million square kilometers, and there are many wolves and wild reindeer. And the boss, we have prepared a lot of insect repellent supplies, and the mosquitoes over there are said to be too many to die in the summer. ”

When Zhang Nan heard this, he smiled and said: "It's too late for you to think about it, it's a swamp, and I brought some from the United States." ”

Well, tomorrow you will enter the real wilderness area, if you are not fully prepared, you will enter it, and the possibility of becoming a big bear snack is average, and there is a chance that you will be bitten by mosquitoes.

……

Yellowknife City outside the window is a modern western town, but the appearance of the people here is not only standard white, but also looks like Indians and Eskimos, and even black buddies taxi drivers see two.

"It's not the peak tourist season, there aren't many people. ”

Well, it's the best place in the world to see the Northern Lights, but the peak tourist season is the cold winter weather, and not many people come to play during this warm spring period.

Those people aren't afraid of freezing half to death?

It's not surprising, think about the ice city in northeast China in the future, who will run there if there is nothing to do in the summer, and the ice city will be overcrowded in winter, and this Yellow Knife City is also a truth.

And when it comes to seeing the Northern Lights, the best time to see them is in winter - there are no clouds in the sky and there is very little moisture, so it's good to see the Northern Lights.

Stay at Yellowknife Capital Suites Hotel, a four-star hotel with the highest grade and the best reputation in Yellowknife City.

The hotel has a thoughtful design that basically all rooms are equipped with kitchens, but this time Zhang Nan doesn't plan to start his own fire: the reindeer meat and various fish here are said to be excellent, and the vegetables are abundant in the summer, and you can eat fresh broccoli.

Being in a remote area is not so particular, just eat and live, and there is no need to worry about the sanitary conditions here.

In summer, the days near the Arctic Circle are long enough, and after settling in, it is more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and many people will run to restaurants to solve the problem of eating.

And the Chinese food time of Indians is half a catty to eight taels.

"Probably people here have to eat at least four meals a day in the summer!"

Zhang Nan would be very naΓ―ve: the days are so long, if he is represented, he will get up very early and go to bed very late, and he will definitely not be able to resist without eating four meals a day.

It's winter...... Hehe, two tons a day is enough!

Get a good night's sleep!

Reindeer steak with broccoli, various fried fish with broccoli... There's broccoli anyway.

Paul and Zack, who were the first to finish eating, went to the nearby RCMP Canadian Arms Management Center and filled out two more gun plates.

It was done in half an hour, which had already been coordinated by the local department.

Fortunately, Davis had already rented an office, which was the first office space at the beginning of the mine, and it was also the "settlement address" of the earliest batch of personnel here.

You don't have to get a gun license for everyone, most of them have to be kept, because there is no limit to the number of guns a person can buy.

When you reach a wild area, you can't find a single policeman within hundreds of thousands of square kilometers to control who is using the gun; in the same way, there is nowhere to report to the police, and you have to rely on yourself and the gun in your hand when you encounter danger!

As soon as you exit the door of the "RCMP", there is a very small storefront diagonally opposite - it is a small door, like the small wooden door of a house, but there is a big sign written on the wall: gun shop.

A crowd of people poured in, similar to the usual gun stores in the United States, like a small supermarket: all kinds of guns were around, and a few shelves in the middle were stocked with various bullets.

Pick it.

The three engineers were an eye-opener: this gun can still be sold like this!

And Tang Jichao also found a very strange point here: there are not only boxed finished bullets on the middle shelf, but also warheads in various plastic bags.

Either the lead bullet of a shotgun bullet or the bullet of a rifle bullet.

Curiously picked up a bag and looked at it, Chen Hao on the side saw it, knew what he was strange about, and said: "Some Canadians and Americans like to reload bullets by hand, there are fire, propellant and warheads for sale, and the cartridge casings are the ones that I have used and picked up." ”

Tang Jichao put the warhead back and said, "It's really money-saving." ”

Well, before going abroad, the Chinese soldiers had never been exposed to the concept of "Western-style reloading ammunition" at all, and would only think of the reloading ammunition of the Eighth Route Army's earthen arsenal.

This made Chen Hao have to explain: this is not to save money at all, but as long as the craftsmanship is okay, the accuracy of the reloading bullet is higher than that of the mass-produced bullet.

Chen Hao also knew about this situation from Thomas.

There is no 56 and a half in this gun shop, and several bodyguards coincidentally chose the Belgian FAL, which is powerful and accurate.

Zhang Nan doesn't have a gun license, but the clerk strongly recommends the latest Italian "Franqui" LAW-12 tactical shotgun that has just arrived, 8 rounds of semi-automatic powerful things, used for self-defense and hunting at close range is even more fierce than a fully automatic assault rifle!

"Expensive enough!"

Looking at the marked price, even Zhang Nan has to shout expensive!

The clerk is not stupid, he can see that this is a gang of rich people: a civilian M700 here costs only $550, and this latest shotgun costs $1250!

As for the United States, a 56 and a half is more than 100 dollars, which is the price of cabbage.

There is no need to exchange Canadian dollars, and the US dollar is used here because many Americans come here to play in winter.

Pay for it, just buy it fresh, ask for it.

A total of 5 spears were selected, and seeing that Xiang Zhangsheng was still looking at the freshness, Zhang Nan kindly asked, "What, don't pick two?"

Xiang Zhangsheng replied with a smile: "It's too expensive!"

Well, even if Zhang Nan pays for it, the price concept of these people is still stuck in the domestic price standard in Huaxia, and it really feels like everything is expensive these days!

The engineers can save money, and there are 14 people here, and 9 spears are enough.

Zhang Nan took a few people back to the hotel to rest, but Davis and a few others had to be busy: to the seaplane dock.

Two seaplanes have been contacted before, and we will have to load all the equipment to be brought on this trip first, so as not to waste time tomorrow.

It was bad luck to not see any of the Northern Lights at all that night: in Yellowknife, you can see them at least 240 days a year, and in the summer.

But I don't care about that, the next few days will be spent in the wilderness farther north, and there will be opportunities.

Compared to the aurora, Zhang Nan prefers diamonds that will refract the aurora!

The next morning, just after 6 o'clock, after eating some breakfast heated in the kitchen, a group of people arrived at the seaplane airport not far away.

It's said to be an airport, but it's actually more like a dock.

Two seaplanes, each with two large pontoons, are parked on the lake by the pier and are about 20 meters long at a glance.

"What model?"

Ask Davis on the side.

"Boss, it's the DHC-6 Twin Otter type, the most classic medium and light seaplane, perfect for polar routes. ”

Davis said, pointing to the nearby one and said, "This is a passenger 300 and can carry 19 passengers, and the other is a cargo model."

This kind of aircraft has a range of about 1,300 kilometers when fully loaded, which is enough to deal with the first point, but it is necessary to refuel to go back and forth to the second point. The freighter will also carry us supplies today, and then the pilot will be waiting for us at the first point.

All signed a confidentiality agreement, and the four pilots were all Americans, introduced by the old relationship. ”

Zhang Nan smiled: "It's all an old relationship?"

Davis shrugged his shoulders and said, "Some rich people in New York come here to hunt bears and reindeer in the winter, and the hunting quota is not enough..."

Well, there's poaching everywhere.

Sitting on the plane, of course, the comfort can't be compared with his own private jet, but it feels pretty good, Zhang Nan said: "How much is this kind of plane?"

"It's less than $2 million, but it looks like it's going to be discontinued this year, and the plane is still very reliable, at least for a few decades. ”

After listening to Davis's words, Zhang Nan said: "Come back, if it feels appropriate, our company here will also buy two." ”

You have to have your own seaplane, and it is difficult to move an inch without seaplanes in spring, summer and autumn!

As for the pilot, it is trivial: if the two pilots in front of them have the right skills, they will dig them up. And in Canada's northern regions, it is more convenient to recruit seaplane pilots than digger drivers.

Two turbofan engines were activated, and after a much more exciting acceleration on the water surface than a land takeoff, the plane took off from the lake and flew to the northeast in a bend in the air.
