Chapter 22: Major Surgery
readx;
Sebastian, who controls half of Sierra Leone, certainly did not expect that he would encounter a group of FOS warriors here, in this God-forgotten jungle. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Losing the supreme commander, the warlords were leaderless and did not pursue Liu Wei and them again.
Sebastian's subordinates all want to go back and seize power, who will have trouble with Liu Wei?
In the evening of the same day, Liu Wei and his team arrived at the evacuation site, returned to Liberia in a helicopter of the Pakistani peacekeeping force, and boarded a refueled "Falcon" business plane before dawn.
Sleiholm did not get on the plane.
After returning to the base, Liu Wei contacted Li Tingxuan and reported the operation. It was only at this time that Liu Wei knew that Srehom was a big trouble.
Although he is the nephew of the former President of Sierra Leone, the international community will not recognize him as the leader of Sierra Leone.
What's more, the mainland has little to do with Sierra Leone, and the closest mainland peacekeeping force is in Sudan on the other side of the African continent. Because Liu Wei killed Sebastian in Sierra Leone, sending Srehom to the United Nations from the mainland is tantamount to admitting to intervening in the Sierra Leone civil war.
Politically and diplomatically, it certainly won't work.
Nor could Srehom come forward and sell the rough diamonds to the Berkinsham Group.
As a last resort, Liu Wei had no choice but to ask Batavia to come forward and hand over Srehom to the Pakistani peacekeeping forces, who would send him to the United Nations.
Because of the influx of Sierra Leonean refugees into Liberia, mostly in camps run by Pakistani peacekeepers, Pakistan's presence would not be much of a problem.
As for the sale of diamonds, after Mobei Wolf came forward to vouch, Liu Wei also asked Batavia to do it.
Three days later, Srehom arrived in Islamabad and then flew to United Nations Headquarters in the company of the Special Envoy of the President of Pakistan.
At this time, Sierra Leone has become a mess.
After Sebastian's death, five of his men fought each other on their own, and three other warlords took the opportunity to join in the melee, adding to the chaos.
In just one month, at least one million Sierra Leoneans have been refugees from the war.
Srehom exposed the heinous crimes committed by the Tamner warlords at the United Nations, but received no support, all Western powers, including the United States, were reluctant to send peacekeeping troops to Sierra Leone, the mainland also remained silent, the General Assembly only adopted a statement of condemnation, and extended resolution 1778 on the embargo on military materiel in Sierra Leone for one year, continuing to ban the import of weapons and equipment into Sierra Leone.
In the eyes of the great powers, Sierra Leone is a land abandoned by God.
Although diamonds are expensive, they are not strategic goods.
If Sierra Leone had not diamonds, but oil, the outcome would have been very different.
During this period, Srehom made political asylum requests to the United States, Britain, France, Canada, Germany, Spain and other Western countries, which were ultimately denied. Before he left UN headquarters, South Africa, the leader of the African Union, accepted his request for asylum.
After leaving New York, Sleiholm went to Johannesburg.
A few days later, the Berzingham Group bought the rough diamonds for $57.5 million, and Liu Wei got the $50 million he needed. Although the diamonds originally belonged to Liberian scholars, Liberia does not produce diamonds, all of them come from Sierra Leone. Liu Wei did not take all the money, but left the extra five million dollars to Srehom and another two and a half million dollars to Batavia.
After doing this, Liu Wei entered the transformation center.
According to Yuan Changqing's arrangement, the first round of remodeling was aimed at the respiratory system, that is, to give Liu Wei the ability to breathe underwater. This is Yuan Changqing's key research direction, and it is also the most certain.
Unlike what Liu Wei imagined, Yuan Changqing did not do anything in his lungs.
The modification is to transplant two pairs of "artificial gills" into his ribs, to be precise, clonal gills fused with shark genes. The two clonal gills each have twelve gill rakers, located between the costal muscles, which are usually hidden under the skin and are only revealed when the lungs are unable to breathe. There are 100,000 gill filaments on each gill raker, and a total of 2.4 million gill filaments absorb as much oxygen from the water as two-thirds of a deep breath. Because the amount of air inhaled at a time is normally only half as deep as a deep breath, the Clonal gills are able to supply more oxygen than the lungs.
The most amazing thing is that the two clonal gills communicate with the lungs and are controlled by two one-way valves.
In other words, the oxygen drawn by the clonal gills from the water does not fuse directly with the red blood cells, but enters the lungs. Therefore, Liu Wei can pass the oxygen he absorbs to others when necessary.
Yuan Changqing did this, mainly to reduce the complexity of cloning gills.
If blood is channeled into the gill of the clonal gill, it is necessary to adjust the blood circulation system connected to the respiratory system, which is not only difficult, but also increases the burden on the heart.
Because this is a major renovation that hurts the muscles and bones, it lasted for half a month.
The result was similar to what Yuan Changqing expected, from the outside, Liu Wei did not change at all, and only when the whole body was immersed in water, could the clonal gills on the ribs be seen.
After the transformation was completed, Liu Wei immersed himself in water for twelve hours to test the reliable surname of the clone gills.
When he came ashore, Mobei Wolf had to admit that in front of Liu Wei, the FOS warriors were nothing at all.
"Batavia is coming."
"He's retired?"
"Yes, take the initiative to apply for retirement. He went back to hold a very luxurious wedding for his eldest daughter, gave a dowry worth 250,000 US dollars, sent his younger son to a British aristocratic school, and bought a few shops for his eldest son and second son, and settled his wife and youngest daughter, who came over the day before yesterday. ”
"It's such a luxury, it won't be in trouble, right?"
"There's no trouble, if anyone wants to be suspicious, they will also think of Sleihom." Mobei Wolf smiled and said, "That guy sold the rough diamond to the Berzingham Group, and now he is a rich man." I heard that he opened a company in South Africa, recruited a group of mercenaries, and prepared to fight back in a few years. ”
Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, the five million dollars were not given in vain.
"By the way, Lao Li has looked for you twice."
"What?"
"Said that the infrastructure construction on the island has started, and a runway has been opened for the 'Falcon' to take off and land, and ask if you would like to take the time to go over and have a look."
"So fast?"
"An easy runway, it doesn't take much effort."
"It's okay, Professor Yuan has to spend a few days studying the next round of transformation, we have nothing else to do, let's go tomorrow."
"Do you want to bring someone else?"
"Yes, bring them all." Liu Wei smiled and said, "In a few years, that side will be our home, let everyone go over and have a look, put forward their ideas, and arrange in advance." ”
Mobei Wolf nodded, looking a little depressed.
"What's wrong, is there anything else?"
"No, it's just a little sad." Mobei Wolf smiled bitterly and said, "Damn, after Lao Tzu left, the Xiashan Tiger took advantage of the loophole, otherwise it would ......."
"So, are you interested in Sister Bao?"
"Yes and before, now like this, can have a fart meaning."
"That's a big deal?" Liu Wei knew that Mobei Wolf had always had a crush on Bao Liuqing. "If you want to open it, Sister Bao is very happy, and Brother Zhou is also very good to her."
"He wants to treat Liu Qing badly, Lao Tzu plucked his skin."
Liu Wei shook his head with a smile and said, "It's all in the past, it's useless to think about it." Find one that is pleasing to the eye, and you will live the rest of your life. ”
"Fart, do you think Lao Tzu picks up garbage?" Mobei Wolf extinguished the cigarette butt and stood up, "I won't tell you, I'll contact Dian Bin and ask him to arrange for him to go to the island." ”
"Go out for a drink at night."
"Don't go, Lao Tzu has something. If you want to drink, find Xiashan Tiger and Ah Long, Lao Tzu has no time to accompany you. ”
"Take it easy at night, don't think that now that your strength is good, you can mess around."
Mobei Wolf raised his middle finger with Liu Wei on his back, and walked out without heading.
Liu Wei shook his head with a smile and found Zhou Fen.
It's a pity that there is a tigress by her side, and the downhill tiger is definitely a sick cat.
In desperation, Liu Wei could only call Zhou Yulong. As a result, this guy didn't fight with Liu Wei to drink, so Liu Wei had to drink a few bottles of stuffy wine by himself, and only slipped back in the middle of the night.
Before dawn, Liu Wei and the others flew to Hong Kong on a "Falcon".
After picking up Dian Bin and the others, he took off to the small island known as St. Pinis.
Fortunately, the "Falcon" can carry twenty-nine people, and if it is an ordinary type with nineteen seats, it will definitely not be able to fit in. It's just that after cramming twenty-eight people, the cabin is still very crowded.
Because he was just going to see the situation on the island, Liu Wei didn't let the female dependents bring their luggage.
The Falcon took off with a maximum fuel load and was able to fly to the island of Saint-Pini in one go, without having to land and refuel halfway through.
I haven't seen each other for a few months, so naturally everyone has a lot to say. Kokura's women are okay to say, a few Korean girls are also very well-behaved, Yumi Hashimoto is accompanied by Nagisa, and she also asked Takeuchi Kotone and others to ask this and that, and she didn't bother Liu Wei. Only Rina Tanaka was a little lonely and couldn't find anyone to talk to.
It's just that she is also very content, because Liu Wei did find a place where no one knows them.
It was just a desert island, and there were no permanent residents, so naturally no one knew her.
Along the way, Liu Wei used the information provided by Li Tingxuan to tell Tanaka Rina about the situation on the island in detail.
The island was exposed to the sea after a major earthquake more than 200 years ago, and although there were no seismographs at the time, it is conceivable that it must have been a very violent earthquake. The island is located at 32 degrees south latitude and 124 degrees west longitude, northwest of the Chilean Ridge, and the nearest is Easter Island, 1,100 kilometers away. Because it is the closest to Chile, it belongs to Chile.
Strictly speaking, the climate of the island is not very harsh.
In terms of latitude, it is about the same as the Jiangnan region of the mainland, and a little lower than New Zealand, which is also in the southern hemisphere, and has obvious seasonal changes. However, because it is relatively close to the westerly wind belt and too far from the mainland, it belongs to the typical temperate maritime climate, with hot and humid summers and cold and windy winters.
Compared to many tropical islands, Saint-Pinis is really bad.
There are certainly no coral reefs here, and because it is a volcanic island, the shallows around the island are very limited, and the steep slope extends less than 200 meters.
Obviously, St. Pinis is not a tourist destination, but it is very much for Liu Wei's appetite.
