Zhang Ran knew that Lao Zheng's level was very high, not only in the army where Zhang Ran was back then, judging from the arrest of Bai Ge this time, Lao Zheng's level in the whole country is not low, and people in high positions, what they know is often a secret, a state-level secret.

To be honest, Zhang Ran didn't want to hear it at first, when Lao Zheng began to ask about the confidentiality of Bai Ge's communication line, Zhang Ran wanted to open his mouth to interrupt Lao Zheng, but at this time, the appearance of Wuying began to hover in Zhang Ran's mind, and when he thought of it, Zhang Ran forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and waited quietly for Lao Zheng to speak.

"The communication line made by Lao Tzu is naturally safe, not only the line is safe, but even the voice signal is dynamically encrypted, dynamic encryption, do you understand this old man?" Bai Ge's arrogance is in his bones, no matter who he faces, he is arrogant. Hearing him play "Lao Tzu" in front of Lao Zheng, Zhang Ran couldn't help laughing, this really has the meaning of "giving back to the other in the way of the other".

Bai Ge made such a fuss, and the pressure in Zhang Ran's heart dropped a lot, and by the time the old and young quarrels over there were finished, Zhang Ran had completely calmed down, and said, "Do you still talk about it?" Is the delay yours or mine? ”

"Say! It's all that little bastard you raised! Lao Zheng let go of Bai Ge and began to bury Zhang Ran, but fortunately, he didn't bury it for long, and soon turned to the topic.

After Lao Zheng explained the whole thing clearly, almost two hours had passed, and after the communication was over, Zhang Ran sat in place for almost an hour to digest these shocking news.

"Damn, that's what happened! I just said that they are always doing things in Africa that cost people and money, and the reason is this! ”

The mainland has been engaged in gold dollar diplomacy in Africa, and this matter has always been incomprehensible to the people of the mainland, why do they scatter a lot of taxpayers' money on the barren land of Africa when there are still so many people struggling under the poverty line in their own country?

In most people's minds, the black man is the dog that can't be fed, and gives them meat buns to eat, and when he turns his head, he forgets it completely, and often makes some moths. Are the leaders at the top really stupid?

The answer is naturally no, people who can be in high positions will not be fools, and there are real think tanks formed by high-IQ talents behind them, and many speculations on the Internet, and even the appearance of some remarks, I am afraid that when people make these plans, they have all been expected for a long time.

The same is true for the layout of Africa.

For China, Africa seems to be a distant country, but after 19 or 20 years of tragic suffering for the Chinese nation, China's leaders have long understood one truth: if they do not go out, they will only suffer.

Unfortunately, the Chinese understand this truth too late, under the siege of Western developed countries, it has become very difficult to get a piece of the pie, and it can even be said that it is impossible to think about it.

It is as strong as the United States, which has the world's first-class military science and technology, but relying only on the homeland, it is simply unable to guarantee their military operation logistics around the world, and the reason why the United States can act as the world's policeman is that in addition to their own powerful armed forces, what is more important is their ability to project troops and provide logistical support.

Those ports that are scattered all over the world, leased or publicly built, are the greatest guarantee for people.

If China wants to be strong, it must go out and break out of its own borders to ensure troop projection and logistics around the world. Taking today's navy and air force as an example, if the full-load combat radius of the medium-sized air combat model is 800 kilometers, then it is necessary to establish a logistics supply base at a distance of 800 kilometers to ensure that its own planes will not fall due to air combat and other reasons.

Of course, the existence of an aircraft carrier can greatly extend the theoretical combat radius of the fighter, but the aircraft carrier itself also needs to be replenished, if it is only patrolling the waters around the country, but what if it is after sailing thousands of nautical miles?

Given China's geographical location, it is almost impossible to find a place to build a military base around the Indian Ocean or on the western coast of the Americas, which makes the importance of Africa extremely high.

As long as there are military bases on the east and west sides of Africa, China will be able to defend not only against the United States, but also Western Europe and India. It is true that most of Africa is chaotic, and on the surface it seems that whoever has the biggest fist can deduct a piece of meat, but what is the underlying reason for the superficial chaos in Africa?

The game of various countries in the world is being played out in Africa.

For the sake of nominal peace and moral face, neither the permanent members of the Security Council, such as the United States, Russia, and China, nor the economically developed countries such as Japan and South Korea will admit in Akari that they have anything to do with the chaos in Africa, but everyone knows that this is just a fig leaf.

Of course, backward Africa needs infrastructure, but will the Chinese really be kind enough to donate these things free of charge? Not only to give money, but also to send skilled craftsmen to build, unless you are a real madman, you will believe the word "free of charge".

Libreville is a good place, and the top management has long been looking at it, and behind the construction package, there is actually a final and most important agreement - the "port long-term lease agreement".

Think about the lease of China in the Manchu era, in fact, how similar is the modern so-called "long-term port lease agreement" to the unequal treaties of that time? Looking at the process of the division of China by the great powers during the Manchu Qing Dynasty, one can imagine how the local forces in Africa learned to join forces in the vertical and horizontal.

The original people in power were inclined to China, and they also agreed and signed an agreement to lease an important deep-water port and dozens of square kilometers of land around it to the mainland for a long time for "scientific and technological research." Of course, the so-called science and technology are mainly military science and technology, but in this era of incomparably fast information, this important and secret news has finally leaked out.

The news of the continent's attempt to establish a port in Africa immediately aroused unease throughout the developed countries, and no country was willing to watch the continent take this extremely important step, and almost all the developed countries with a physical presence in Africa quickly agreed to nip this threat in the bud.

Although almost all of their fighters are locals, from the equipment they use to the instructors who train them, their operational thinking and operational plans, and even their operational intelligence support, they are unified and Westernized, representing a combat force several times higher than that of the local government.

Almost overnight, Libreville had changed, and by the time the mainland got the news, it was already too late.

It is not that they have not thought of using secret military force to solve this matter, but before they can come up with a plan, the developed countries have already hinted through informal channels what the consequences will be if they do so.

After all, as long as the face is not torn, the whole world will at least seem to be in harmony, and in order not to trigger the worst outcome, the mainland's top leaders can only acquiesce to the demands of the developed countries in the West and completely abandon the idea of using military means to resolve the matter.

But the people who were captured by others, the materials that were withheld and some important information, but they can't be ignored, after all, the mainland also has means to restrain the West, you say that the local armed forces have made it, and foreign countries cannot interfere, then okay, if we find out that you are secretly making small moves, then don't blame us for being polite!

Under the checks and balances of the two sides, the situation in Libreville suddenly became very delicate.

The official armed forces belonging to the state cannot interfere, which leaves a huge space for the mercenary group to operate, and anyone can pay for the mercenaries who work for money, isn't it? On the surface, this seems to be extremely fair, the mainland is not very rich now, so everyone will fight for money.

But underneath this superficial fairness, there is serious unfairness! Looking at the mercenary groups around the world, how many of them are formed by real Chinese and have their hearts towards the mainland? The answer is - almost zero!

And what about the West? Because of the influence of their history and tradition, various types of mercenary groups have sprung up, as many as they want! In such a serious imbalance in contrast, the saber mercenary group that had just been reorganized finally fell into the sight of the high-level.

Then Bai Ge was secretly arrested, or kidnapped, to seek Zhang Ran's cooperation.

Although Zhang Ran scolded the person who made this plan in front of Lao Zheng for being a pig's brain, he was very sure in his heart that if it weren't for the other party's white leather stay, he might not agree to get involved in this kind of national-level competition.

The ancients said that immortals fought mortals and suffered hardships, although Zhang Ran had confidence in himself, but the saber mercenary group was not even qualified to be a mortal in the face of the national military force, and people stretched out a tail finger and gently grinded it, which could make the saber mercenary group completely shattered!

At the same time, Lao Zheng also said that it was best for Zhang Ran to leave for Libreville immediately, integrate the combat effectiveness of the Saber Mercenary Group and the Blood Rose Mercenary Group, and complete the plan before the enemy could take the next step.

However, Lao Zheng's request made Zhang Ran very difficult. Of course, he also wanted to go over early, but if Chen Xinyi's matter was not resolved for a day, he would not be at ease for a day. Therefore, he could only comfort Lao Zheng, saying that Wuying was already starting to operate, and Zhang Ran was almost certain that with Wuying's character, since he decided to engage in a big war, he would definitely not only win over the twenty or so people in Alice's manor.

You know, according to Sally, the armaments in Alice's manor are more than enough to arm a fully organized main infantry regiment.

Perhaps at the moment when Zhang Ran was on the phone with Lao Zheng, Wuying had already raised those armaments, looking for a suitable way to send these arms to Libreville, and pulled up people to fight with the other party to the end.

As Zhang Ran's former old leader, Lao Zheng naturally believes in Zhang Ran's ability more, no matter what Zhang Ran says, he is determined that Zhang Ran will go to Africa immediately.
