Chapter 42 The Circumstance of Exploitation

A two-lane bridge less than a kilometer long runs from here to the border of the province of Bolivar. There are guerrillas sweeping the tail behind the www.biquge.info, carrying this black cauldron, and even the police in Magdalena Province will not be able to find Zhou You's body quickly.

As long as Zhou You returns to Casanare smoothly after tonight, even if the government knows that Zhou You did it, it will not make any more noise.

Of course, in this way, Uribe will have a bad opinion of Zhou You, and he will never be so close to him in the future.

However, now that he has the support of the domestic government and is involved in such a big project, even Uribe will not do anything to him now.

However, even so, Zhou You still hopes that Lally can be smart and not associate the clues with himself, after all, he still wants a good reputation.

After thinking about tonight's actions, although he successfully achieved his goal, Zhou You would only give himself sixty points. Because of tonight's actions, I actually did a terrible job.

First of all, they didn't take advantage of their own advantages at all. The whole operation was unorganized and unplanned, and when it came to the end, because he spared his life, he temporarily changed his plan. Not only did he not give full play to the advantages of his body, but he seemed extremely reckless.

Secondly, there is a lack of contact between himself and others, and the two sides still use codes to distinguish on the battlefield. Future operations, even if they are not equipped with a battlefield command system, should be linked to everyone, just like on the Ranger.

The reason why today's attack was successful was that there was no strategy, no wisdom, only brute force and luck. If it were an ordinary person, he might not be as easy as him to pick a gap in the wall, and if his luck was a little worse and he was discovered by the other party, the whole plan would be in vain.

So, Zhou You is very dissatisfied with himself.

However, Batistuta was full of admiration for Zhou You's actions today, because the movement caused by Zhou You was a little too big. Moreover, Zhou You has done almost everything, and they just closed the scene.

For this reason, he looked back from time to time and looked at Zhou You with an admiring gaze.

If a beautiful woman looks at Zhou You with this kind of gaze, he will feel very satisfied, but a Western dasha looks at him so vigorously that Zhou You feels panicked. "Don't look back at me again, let me be quiet for a while."

Hearing Zhou You's scolding, Batistuta felt very satisfied, and he smirked.

Seeing him like this, Zhou You couldn't help but think of Zhou Minghong and them.

Counting up, Liang Hao, Zhou Minghong, Yang Enquan, these three people were trained by themselves. But Liang Hao and Yang Enquan were sent to the United States by themselves to make a lot of money, and Zhou Minghong was reluctant to use him now because he was shot four times.

Like a monkey, he broke corn all the way and threw it all the way, and until now, there is still no one who can really do some black work in his hands. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made myself myself myself do it today.

Along the way, Zhou You has been summarizing his own shortcomings, and he has been reborn for several years, why can't this idea be changed unanimous! I'm not a careless captain now, I'm also an upper-class person now, and I have to change my mentality!

The convoy made it all the way back to Atokorosal, but the tour still allowed people to drive south and turn around before returning to base. Since you want to act, let's act like a little bit, and come back from the south early in the morning, which is not consistent with the facts!

It was almost eleven o'clock when the convoy entered the base, and by this time, Vice President Liang and Herrera had already received the news of what had happened in Palatu from the newspaper printing point in Jopar.

In fact, they were in a hurry last night, and they didn't know how much they had achieved, until they read the newspaper and realized that they had been a little too cruel last night.

Because Fernando's gang was on guard, most of the entire gang stayed in their lair last night. At that time, the base also included four women who had been taken captive, making a total of ninety-two people.

After the guerrillas withdrew, the government forces verified that 32 people were killed on the spot, 25 were killed by gunfire, and the remaining 35 people suffered severe hearing damage and concussion due to the strong shock wave, and the number of people still in a coma is still more than 20.

Aside from the number of casualties on the battlefield, the attack was the highest single death toll in Colombia in recent years and shocked the whole of Colombia.

The guerrillas immediately issued a statement in the media, detailing the unspeakable crimes of Fernando's gang and placing most of the blame on the Americans.

If this were a group of ordinary people, the guerrillas would certainly be accused by Wanfu. But they were a vicious gang, which gave the guerrillas the upper hand in public opinion, and they even criticized the government for it, believing that the existence of Fernando's gang was the fault of the government.

Of the four women detained at the chemical company, one was killed, two are still unconscious, but the remaining one has not suffered major injuries.

Her accusations in front of the media also earned the guerrillas a lot of impression points, and for a while, the government was quite passive.

Since most of the main leading members of Fernando's gang were directly killed yesterday, the guerrillas did not have any worries and poured any dirty water on the gang.

Because the guerrillas' movements attracted all the limelight, although some people confirmed their existence in the collection of information, they were not taken seriously.

The main reason why the tour is noticed is because of the two Land Rovers, which are rare in Colombia, and it is impossible to go back and forth for 1,600 kilometers.

Of course, this is also deliberately done by Zhou You, because he wants to show his existence. If he was afraid that others would know, he would not have driven these two Land Rovers to action in the first place.

Now it is in his interest that the guerrillas have stolen the limelight and downplayed his presence. He needs to show his presence, but he doesn't need to be in the limelight, after all, he still has to deal with the American side.

Only when he appears, no one else will dare to ignore his existence in the future, and whoever wants to deal with him in the future will think twice.

Herrera saw Zhou You's appearance, looked at Zhou You for a while, and asked directly, "Your people also participated in yesterday's operation?" ”

Zhou You didn't want to hide it from him, nodded and said, "We have to show up, don't we?" Only in this way will our investment in Colombia be safer in the future. ”

Herrera took a deep breath, he didn't know how President Uribe and Congress would handle the matter, so it would be wrong for him to make any statement now. Suppressing the boiling in his heart, he asked, "Now that the matter has been settled, should you return to Bogotá?" ”

Zhou You smiled and nodded. "It's time for me to go back to Bogotá, and in fact, I won't be in Bogotá for long because I'm in a hurry to get to the United States."

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhou You and Vice President Liang and their group of eleven people, accompanied by Herrera, took a small plane back to Bogotá, and as soon as he got off the plane, he was picked up by the courtesy car of the presidential palace.

Seeing Zhou You being picked up, Vice President Liang couldn't help but sigh to Mr. Yuan beside him: "This Zhou You is wild and untamable, I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse to cooperate with him!" ”

Mr. Yuan said with a smile: "No matter what kind of person Zhou You is, we should know that without him, we have no chance to obtain the development rights of this oil field." ”

Vice President Liang nodded, and couldn't help but smile: "It's rare that he still has a little heart to serve the country." ”

Sitting in the courtesy car, Zhou You knew very well that Uribe would criticize and warn him, but because the guerrillas had stolen the limelight, he would not have a big problem. It's a big deal to give him three points of face as a president, and make some concessions in his own attitude to make his face look better.

At this critical juncture of large-scale investment, even he, as the president, must serve this series of investments, so Zhou You will not encounter too many criticisms.

According to further research, the initial investment in these 20 investment projects has reached more than $8 billion, and the long-term investment has exceeded $20 billion.

Among them, there are five large mines, three oil wells, and the investment amount will reach three billion US dollars, and there are five or six smaller mines, and the investment is also about hundreds of millions, or even one billion US dollars.

Therefore, no matter how big Uribe's opinion of Zhou You is, he will help Zhou You wipe his ass clean. As for the big men in Congress, they will be the same as Uribe, and they have this confidence in Zhou You.

At the dinner that night, Uribe did not even mention what had happened in Palatu, but discussed with Zhou You in detail some of the specific conditions that the delegation was currently experiencing in Colombia.

Colombia's infrastructure investment is too poor, many places do not even have roads, and more importantly, there is a lack of basic services in electricity and communications, which will seriously limit the scale of future investment.

For example, a mine will need 100,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per day, but Colombia can only provide less than a fifth of it, which will lead to a significant reduction in investment or a slow flow of capital.

At present, the Colombian side has been aware of this problem, so for today's meeting, they also specially invited the embassy in China, hoping that the embassy will connect with one or two power companies to invest in Colombia.

However, this problem still cannot be bypassed, because without the mediation of Zhou You, the guerrillas will certainly not easily let any enterprise land, and although Colombia is rich in hydropower resources, hydropower stations are to be built in the mountains, and it is impossible to build a hydropower station without the permission of the guerrillas.

Zhou You readily agreed to this request, and also communicated with the people at the embassy, promising to contact this matter. However, as for the way of cooperation, Zhou You has not yet thought about it.
