At Cairo Airport in Egypt, as soon as we walked out of the airport hall, we saw Wu Gang and the "Comrade Ren" who had come to the garage to see me standing outside.

"Hello, is the road going well?" Wu Gang looked a little darker, and it seemed that the Cairo sun had left a lot of marks on him.

The first thing you feel when you walk out of the airport is dryness! Extremely dry! There were 12 of us, plus Wu Gang and Comrade Ren and the three Land Rover jeeps they brought. I noticed that the drivers who drove were all Chinese, and everyone had a serious face, a cold face, and without saying a word, it was obvious that they all had a bit of a military atmosphere.

The car had been in the sun for less than twenty minutes, and I had been drinking water since I got in.

"Where are we going now?" I smiled and said, "I'm ready to open up the wasteland this time and start from scratch." ”

Wu Gang didn't speak, and Comrade Ren smiled: "Mr. Chen, it's not as terrible as you say, if things go well, I think we can finish everything in a week at most...... Okay, let's take you back to the station for a rest, I'll treat you to dinner at noon, and then we'll leave here in the evening. ”

Jojo asked, "Do you want to leave Egypt today?" ”

Comrade Ren glanced at Qiao Qiao, and I immediately said, "This is my friend and my French translator." After a pause, I said slowly: "She is my own person, and I don't hide anything from her." ”

Comrade Ren's face changed slightly, but then he smiled: "Don't say it so scary, there is actually nothing secret about this matter...... Well, it's just that the fewer people involved, the better. ”

He smiled at Jojo a little, and then suddenly said a string of French. Jojo raised her eyebrows and spoke to him very skillfully in French.

"You translate, good French." Comrade Ren smiled: "But she has a bit of a Parisian accent, which is rare in Africa...... Well, but that's okay. Originally, we had a translator for you, but now it seems that we don't need it. ”

******************

After two hours of driving, the car had already driven out of Cairo City, and then headed east, and finally we came to a construction site.

It is on the banks of the Nile, and the world-famous Nile is not as big as I imagined, on the contrary, it looks small, much smaller than I expected, and the water flows gently and almost dry.

"It's much more stingy than the Yangtze River......" I muttered.

The station was huge, far away on the river, a huge water project was under construction, huge earthdovels were coming, and there was the roar of machinery, and I saw that most of the workers were Asian, and obviously many were Chinese. There are also technical experts wearing hard hats and holding drawings on the riverbank standing behind instruments to measure something.

In the hot climate, the scorching sun sprinkled on the ground without obstruction, and I only took two steps out of the car when I felt the ground under my feet be hot.

"What is this place?"

"A joint project is carried out by a large domestic engineering company in cooperation with the Egyptian side...... Well, these are normal foreign labor projects, you don't have to worry about these, I'll take you to rest now. ”

About a thousand steps from the river is a low, simple building, I followed Comrade Ren into the office on the first floor, and after finally enjoying a little yīn coolness, I sighed: "It's so hot here, how do you people who work here all year round survive?" ”

Comrade Ren licked his chapped lips, as if to understate, and said lightly: "The country needs it." ”

When I was training in the big circle, I was trained in a little simple military knowledge, and I deliberately stood by the window and looked out a few times, and immediately recognized that the layout of the entire engineering camp was with a bit of militarization, from the door to the layout inside, which was obviously very suitable for the distribution of security measures!

I was momentarily distracted, then turned around: "No need to rest, let's get started...... Where am I going tonight? Do what? ”

Comrade Ren looked into my eyes and hesitated: "You really don't have to take a break first?" "[Heaven's Kiss Hand Punch]

"I'm not here to rest." I said lightly: "End early, go home early." ”

He nodded, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, and led me to a conference room.

Only Wu Gang, Comrade Ren, and me were the only ones in the conference room, and as for my subordinates, they were all drinking water in the lounge, and the two engineering personnel stood at the door of the conference room and blocked the door.

I hesitated and didn't bring Jojo in.

"Please turn off your phone for me...... Please turn off any electronic devices on your body. "When I was about to follow Comrade Ren into the conference room, two security guards at the door stopped me directly.

I glanced at them and didn't speak, Comrade Ren in front of me turned around and smiled, waving his hand: "No need, he is his own person." Then he looked at me: "If we don't believe you, we won't look for you." ”

I took out my phone and handed it to the guard: "No, I know you are disciplined. ”

"Haha" Comrade Ren smiled: "Okay, don't make it so exaggerated...... We're not asking you to be James Bond, it's not complicated. ”

After formally sitting down, Comrade Ren turned on a slide projector in the conference room, and then his face gradually became serious: "Now introduce the characters you will come into contact with." ”

After the lights flickered, a picture of a black man appeared on the screen in front of him, and then it turned into a set of photos.

The subject of each photograph is a black man, about forty years old, with a sturdy figure and a grim sparkle in his eyes...... It's like a snake! The photos are obviously public, and some are secretly taken, from all angles. The black man inside, dressed in civilian clothes, in military uniforms, and even a picture of him standing next to an armored car with some oil paint on his face.

"Ru Ken Setta, forty-six years old, is the current ruler of the country of East Africa, the president, and the commander of the army. Of course, he prefers to be called 'General Trapped Tower'. With a population of only 4.6 million, the land area of country G is about the size of Jiangsu Province and a half. This person was originally a general of the Shaozhuang faction of country G, and had participated in six regional military wars...... Of course, from our point of view, those so-called wars can only be regarded as minor conflicts. Three years ago, he led the army in a coup d'état, overthrew the original zhèngfǔ, and executed the original president of the country of G, who was also a general. When Comrade Ren said this, he smiled and said: "In Africa, it is common for the heads of state of many small countries to come to power through coup d'état. Then he continued: "General Sleepy Tower currently controls the vast majority of the country's army, and his political leanings are unknown, that is...... Hmmm......"

I suddenly burst into a sentence: "There is nǎi is Niang." ”

Comrade Ren was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "So to speak." Then he sighed: "Which of these small countries in Africa is not like this?" When they face the United States, they will have to provide assistance and conditions, and tomorrow they can ask for assistance to negotiate conditions, and when they face the European Union the day after tomorrow, they can also turn around and abandon the Americans themselves...... As for us, it is only one of his many options for cooperation, and whoever gives him the favor, he leans. This kind of guy has no political direction, just relying on the right and left and getting all kinds of resources to consolidate his rule. ”

"His main source of income is to rely on the support of all forces......" Looking at my seemingly dazed expression, Comrade Ren sighed and said in a low voice: "After all, country G has a seat in the United Nations General Assembly and a legitimate vote, although he came to power in a coup d'état, but through his bowed compromise with the Americans and the European Union, he was recognized by the United Nations. Over the years, all the small countries in Africa have been the targets of the big powers! If you think that a country as powerful as the United States and as populous as China, a vote at a UN meeting is just one vote. And this kind of small country like an ant is also a vote! …… By the way, in addition to all kinds of international support, he also controlled a diamond and gold mine, which produced about 44 million dollars a year, which he used as military expenses. ”

Speaking of this, he seemed to smile: "The country he rules, the annual gross national product, may not be comparable to the wealth of a family in the United States." Even you, in a few years, you will be much richer than this country. ”

"If there's anything he's inclined to...... That is, he seems to have some special jǐng mentality towards the United States. In recent years, the United States has made a lot of moves in Europe, and the annual activity funds allocated by the Langley Building (CIA) are quite a considerable amount, and many coups in small African countries have something to do with the Americans, of course, although they do not directly send troops, but they can support puppets and even spend money to organize mercenaries. By the way, Africa is the largest golden zone for the survival of the world's largest mercenaries! The most famous mercenary organizations in the world are all here! Behind the mercenary thing, in fact, the water is very deep, and basically the major mercenaries active in Africa are supported by the big powers behind them, and the actions they carry out are all with strong political purposes. ”

I whistled and said lightly, "Africa...... Such a large continent, with vast land and abundant natural resources, the local forces here are weak. Of course, it will attract foreign covetousness. ”

Comrade Ren smiled, and then with a snap, he turned off the slide projector, and then turned on the light in the room.

I took a sip of water: "What about my mission?" ”
