The terrain of West Texas and Chihuahua, Mexico, is clearly much better than that of much poorer Mexico, at least wider and flatter, and the bends are much slower.

Although there are not many other cars driving in Mexico in the middle of the night, even if you let go of the hurricane, you can't drive fast, which will be much better in Texas, that is, there is one more trouble than Mexico - the police!

There are speed limit signs on the roads of Chihuahua, Mexico, but unless you encounter an accident, you will never see the police, let alone the police to check for speeding.

Where the drug cartel encircled and suppressed the police chief, the police gentleman was fine, so don't go to the road to cause chaos for everyone.

Once you arrive in Texas, it's different, every morning wait until 8 o'clock to be on duty traffic management police on the road, then it's better to drive honestly, otherwise the penalty will still be quite painful.

Of course, in the United States, there will be police officers checking speeding in the middle of the night, so you have to take it easy.

Fortunately, this Texas is known as the largest state in the United States, with a large territory and large roads, and even the Arabic numerals on the speed limit signs on this highway are larger than most other states in the United States.

Highway 67 is an ordinary road, which would have Valentin already raised the speed to 50 miles per hour, which is almost equivalent to 80 kilometers per hour, and Paul said that if he was not on a mission, he could have increased the speed by another 5 miles, and the police basically ignored such "slight speeding".

Valentin asked, "Texas conventions?"

They've learned everything about the United States, but they've only heard of it, they've never tried it — even if they had had the opportunity to come to the United States on a mission before, it is estimated that these Red Devils would not test the tolerance of the American police for the 5-mile problem.

There are not many cars on the road early in the morning, even if there is an incoming car, this line of sight can be seen in many places a few kilometers away, and the Chevrolet off-road vehicle is in good condition, with high horsepower, and it is safe to let go of a hundred and fifty or sixty yards.

But the roadside speed limit sign says "50," and Valentin feels like he has to follow the rules: that's five miles bigger than most other states in the United States, and with the exception of Texas, which has a 45-mile speed limit on ordinary roads.

Listening to Valentin's question, Paul said: "The United States is speeding for all, and such a slight speeding is generally not a big problem, so you can try it in the future."

But when you're unlucky, you're unlucky to meet a police officer who is too conscientious, roll the window, put your hand on the steering wheel, and it's best to admit punishment honestly. ”

Speaking of this, Paul stopped talking, because he saw a wild horse speeding past him, and when the car ran away, he said to Valentin: "Forget, you can drive faster, except for some traffic lights, Texas has absolutely no fixed speed camera, as long as there is no car parked on the side of the road in the field of vision, you can drive as fast as you want." ”

There are cars on the side of the road, beware of mobile speed measurement, this routine is common all over the world!

This area is a slightly undulating wasteland terrain, which can be seen clearly within five or six kilometers, except for the Mustang that is speeding at a speed of 100 miles, and there is a large truck running in the distance.

Traffic light?

That's at least 100 kilometers away!

Needless to say, everyone hasn't eaten breakfast yet, and I've eaten a few pieces of chocolate since I got off the plane, so I'm in a hurry!

As soon as Vasily stepped on the accelerator with his right foot, the SUV immediately accelerated, and the speed quickly reached 80 miles per hour.

Yuri continued to sleep, and the others had no idea of talking, and each recuperated - the speed of the car was fast but very stable, the weight of the car was one of the reasons, and more importantly, Vasily's driving skills were definitely practiced.

Fast and smooth, even the acceleration and deceleration of the turning sequence is very gentle, and the centrifugal force caused by the turning is almost not felt.

Arriving in Marda after almost an hour, we didn't stop, turning onto Route 17 and continuing north: just after 8 a.m., the car stopped at Fort Davis, 35 kilometres from Marfa.

Looking for something to eat, the San Antonio guys didn't have hamburgers for everyone in the car, and they would be a little hungry.

A fast-food restaurant is on the right side of the road about 100 meters into the town, and it looks like a municipal office building.

After getting out of the car in the small parking lot, the five people wandered into the restaurant, where two highway patrol officers were also eating breakfast.

However, the police didn't pay attention to Andre's gang at all, and the Red Devils didn't pay attention to the police: they all ordered with a Texas red-necked accent, so it's strange that those two policemen pay attention to you!

Slices of bread with fried eggs, bacon sandwiches, and a cup of coffee, and you're done with two bottles of mineral water.

If it weren't for Andrey's statement that he didn't need to stop and reduce his appearance after the mission, Paul would have asked everyone to drive to Odessa in one go before stopping - there are large cities, traffic extends in all directions, and there are naturally many floating people passing by.

Odessa is not the famous Ukrainian Odessa in the Great Patriotic War, but the city of Odessa in Texas, USA, because in 1881 Russian immigrants came to that place to do railway construction, so the name of the Russian city of Odessa was used.

But there are probably not many people who can speak Russian: the city of Odessa was named after Russian immigrants, but the city was founded a hundred years ago after the arrival of immigrants of German origin in large numbers.

Once the car turns onto Highway 20, it can travel 80 miles east at a speed of 80 miles: the speed limit is 5 to 15 miles "bigger" than in most states.

After getting on the highway, Paul was not sleepy again, and said to Andre, who had also squinted for a while and took a nap, even after resting: "This side of the road to the east for more than 200 kilometers is lined with oil fields on both sides, and derricks are everywhere, which is a big landscape in Texas." ”

It is spectacular to look at, and this oil well is densely packed and you can't see the end at a glance!

Speaking of this oil, Andre thought of the document that he didn't have time to look at carefully, and it was also talking about oil, as if it was still oil from the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, so he asked what it was.

Paul got in the car and took a few looks.

"Anglo American originally had a cooperative exploration project with an oil company in Mexico, the project was public, the results were top secret, and the oil fields on the continental shelf in the Gulf of Mexico, I see..."

As he spoke, he took out the large document bag and flipped through it again, "It's all a survey report, saying that there are three large oil and gas fields that may exist, and the original plan was to negotiate with the Washington and Mexican governments to lease the sea area for exploitation, which may be valuable to the company."

I don't understand this oil extraction, but oil extraction in the sea, this... The depth is three or four hundred meters, the difficulty is absolutely high, and the cost of a large oil production drilling platform seems to be at least hundreds of millions of dollars.

The investment is large, and the time is also very expensive, it depends on the meaning of the boss, and the boss basically doesn't care about this. ”

Saying this, it seems that these oil and gas fields that others have spent a lot of effort to detect are all in the company's pocket, if the boss lady wants it.

"Lady Nicole?"

Paul nodded, "Lady Jenny generally doesn't care about resource operations, as for the boss.

Later you will understand that he likes shiny things, and antiques. ”
