Only Africa, in this backward and chaotic land, can exchange for very useful resources, whether tangible or intangible, as long as it is profitable.

But even after all these years of hard work, the result of running Africa is still only at the commercial level, that is, we have a powerful modern army on land, sea and air, but we cannot set foot on African soil in the name of the army, and once we do that, it will cause turmoil in the international community.

The news Sally found is very illustrative, a construction project was once again destroyed by local armed forces, and the personnel and materials stationed by the Chinese side were seized by local armed forces. And this news was not reported by domestic media, but an exclusive interview by a very well-known news media in the UK.

Just as Zhang Ran was reading the news, his mobile phone rang again, and an encrypted text message appeared in his mobile phone.

"Libreville."

Looking at this name, Zhang Ran felt a headache for a while. He didn't like that place, not only because of the terrible natural environment, but more importantly because of the chaotic situation.

The place mentioned in the text message on the mobile phone is exactly where the news that Sally just found out took place, and it is also one of the African countries that Zhang Ran is most reluctant to set foot in.

"On the surface, it looks like peace, but in fact there are too many indigenous tribes and religions in this country, and the armed forces are in the hands of several huge powers, and the so-called state is just a joke." Zhang Ran concluded and said.

After a pause, he pointed to his mobile phone and said: "The other party's meaning is very clear, that is, I hope that the old knife and them can go to the town three hundred kilometers south of Libreville, go to the construction site occupied by the armed forces, and rescue the hostages." ”

"How is that possible?"

Even Sally, after listening to Zhang Ran's words, couldn't help but shake her head, feeling that this was an almost impossible task. After all, Lao Dao and the others have just left South Africa, and they have only completed it with the help of the Blood Rose Mercenary Group, and they are still entangled with the French mercenaries and the Japanese.

What's more, something like what happened in Libreville has not happened in the past, and the government has always been able to find a suitable way to solve it in the past, but this time the situation should be different, so I thought of seeking help from external forces.

Mercenaries, strictly speaking, have no borders, and mercenaries without borders will only do business with money. However, it is very shameless to let a sovereign country, a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, seek the cooperation of mercenaries.

Therefore, unless it is a very special situation, mercenaries will not receive national tasks. But in fact, in fact, almost every developed country is doing the same thing, after all, there are times when it is inconvenient to come forward in the name of the state, and there are tasks that are too risky, and the state is unwilling to bear the loss - money is just waste paper for sovereign states.

Using mercenaries eliminates these concerns.

"What do they want of Lin Feng?"

"They are not interested in foreign intelligence, mainly because they want to learn from Lin Feng the list of officials in his old man's network, I don't think this problem is a big deal." Zhang Ran replied to Chen Xinyi.

"Is there a third requirement?"

Chen Xinyi continued to ask.

"No, there are only these two requests sent to me." Zhang Ran reconfirmed the information before replying. It seems that it should be the result of the last call, the other party has already put that promise on Bai Ge's body, anyway, Bai Ge people are in their hands, it is impossible not to cooperate to make a simple promise.

"What about Libreville?" Zhang Ran put down his phone and looked at Chen Xinyi and Sally, at this time he completely excluded Zhang Xuan.

"This task is not part of our agreement, and you must ask Head Anna if you need it." Sally first expressed her attitude, based on the analysis just now, she was unwilling to get involved in it, but she also knew that with the strength of the Saber Mercenary Group in Africa alone, let alone completing this task, it seemed that self-preservation was a problem at present.

"Actually, we still have manpower, but the problem is that Bai Ge is not there, and many people can't be contacted." Zhang Ran's first thought was not to use the Blood Rose Mercenary Group, after all, even if Libreville's mission was completed, the only benefit was Bai Ge's freedom, and there was no benefit at all, if he wanted to ask Blood Rose to help, I was afraid that it would be a big expense.

"It is impossible for the other party to release Bai Ge in advance, you must know that the Americans have wanted to catch Bai Ge for a long time, but they have not succeeded, I think it is better to contact Anna Commander." Chen Xinyi followed Zhang Ran's words and said, of course she knew the importance of Bai Ge to Zhang Ran and to the entire saber mercenary group, and she also thought that she might have to pay a huge price.

Zhang Xuan's face was a little unsightly, in his feeling, Chen Xinyi should not be involved in these things, it was the pressure from Avalon that made Zhang Xuan not directly object.

And Zhang Ran did not object to Chen Xinyi's suggestion at the first time, even though he needed to pay money, but he must not ignore Bai Ge, when Zhang Ran turned to Sally, Chen Xinyi also looked over.

“OK。 I am only responsible for connecting, and you will talk about the specifics yourself, and I will not make any opinions or statements. Sally held up her phone, then dialed the widow Anna.

After eye contact, Chen Xinyi took the initiative to undertake the communication work, and the final result was to ask the Blood Rose Mercenary Group to send someone to assist the Saber Mercenary Group at the cost of 10 million US dollars to complete the mission of Libreville, which is not too high to say, and certainly not low.

"I'll pay."

When Sally left to make specific arrangements, Zhang Ran said to Chen Xinyi.

"No, I'll come."

Chen Xinyi showed quite stubbornness, as if this was her business, Zhang Xuan couldn't stand it next to her, and found a reason to leave first.

"I'm not safe." When Zhang Xuan walked out, Chen Xinyi's face changed, and she whispered to Zhang Ran.

"Oh? How so? Is it Avalon? ”

"It's not just Awanlong. You also heard that Cousin Xin is coming back just now, and theoretically speaking, he is also qualified to inherit the Chen family's family business, of course, after I die. Chen Xinyi's words sounded a little sad, which made Zhang Ran feel a little worried. Maybe it's because Chen Xinyi and Chen Xintang do have a good relationship, but in the face of a huge family property, feelings become no longer important.

"It's none of your business, everything is made by Chen Shanren, if Chen Xintang really has any unfavorable thoughts for you, I don't mind helping you get rid of him!" Zhang Ran pinched his fingers and snapped.

However, after listening to his words, Chen Xinyi shook her head, "No, you can't kill my cousin, he has been very good to me since I was a child, and I know that he doesn't care about these family properties, only his father." Speaking of this, Chen Xinyi took a deep breath, as if trying to calm her emotions, "In fact, cousin Xin has been strictly required since he was a child, and what he usually shows is more dissatisfaction with his father, but I know that he still respects this father very much in his heart, but now"

"And now you're going to kill his most respected father, aren't you?"

This is an unsolvable problem, Zhang Ran can neither persuade Chen Xinyi to let Chen Shanren go, nor can she instigate her to kill Chen Shanren, just because no matter whether she kills or releases, the consequences are not something Chen Xinyi is willing to face. If Chen Xintang didn't come back, it would be fine, but now he is still back after all, and Chen Xinyi will go to the airport to pick up people tomorrow, how should the brothers and sisters get along at that time?

"Forget it, don't talk about this, Zhang Ran, I've been very grateful to you these days, and the 10 million that hired the Blood Rose Mercenary Group should be regarded as my gratitude to you."

For some reason, Zhang Ran always felt that Chen Xinyi's words had a strong sense of farewell, and just when he was about to open his mouth to persuade him, Chen Xinyi came up and grabbed Zhang Ran's arm and dragged him to the bright balcony.

Kuala Lumpur is undoubtedly beautiful from a high place, but in most cities, when people stand on a high place and look down, all they see is beauty, and no one can see those dark and lightless places, nor can they see those crimes that breed in the shadows.

"Can you go out with me this afternoon?" Cousin Xin is coming back, I want to buy a few sets of clothes, and you have to dress up too, well, I know a brand that should be very suitable for you. ”

"Is it a suit?" Zhang Ran asked along with Chen Xinyi's meaning.

"What, do you still want to buy a formal Tang costume in Kuala Lumpur? It's obviously a suit, don't make a look of embarrassment, I know you must be very handsome in a suit. ”

In fact, Zhang Ran is not ugly, and even his facial features have an indescribable masculinity, and the suit that Chen Xinyi chose for Zhang Ran at no cost can reflect Zhang Ran's perfect and sturdy figure, so in general, Zhang Ran is not only suitable for wearing a suit, but also very temperamental.

And when Zhang Ran and Chen Xinyi and others were circling around various brand-name clothing stores, Lao Dao and others in Africa could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

With their strong combat effectiveness, Lao Dao and others finally hurt the local armed forces, and they were injured and retreated. The Japanese and French mercenaries who followed closely behind them had to choose to temporarily retreat because of the strong combat effectiveness shown by Lao Dao and others, thus giving Lao Dao a chance to breathe.

The person in charge of the Blood Rose Mercenary Group here is still a Western woman, Sava in her thirties. Listening to the name, you know that this is a woman with Russian roots, in fact, Sava is from Belarus, known as the country with the highest proportion of beautiful women, if you don't pay attention to the damage caused by the wind and sun, then she is indeed a beauty.

Of course, being able to become the leader of the Blood Rose combat team, Sava is by no means a vase. The end of the battle was a break for the others, but Sava could not rest, and she arranged for the post-war work while discussing the next move with the old knife.

And the message sent from the Blood Rose headquarters, Sava finally decided to make it public to the old knife, after all, the next battle may be even harder.
