The arms business is not only exciting, but it is much less dangerous than being a mercenary, and it is indeed suitable for these people, not to mention that Xu Ziling is also selfish: in addition to opening up arms channels for himself, he can also solve the possible troubles in the port to a certain extent.

And Smith With the abundance of money in their hands, the original mercenary mind retreated a lot, so it was naturally an instant hit, Xu Ziling proposed to let them ensure the safety of the port, Smith didn't think about it, he just responded.

The No. 1 site is less than 100 kilometers away from the northern border of Netan and about 20 kilometers away from the highway, and in less than two hours, Xu Ziling and the others got off the highway and came to their destination through a potholed gravel road.

There are only a few scattered villages around here, and there are no towns.

A few people looked at it and felt that it was not bad, the traffic was more convenient, not to mention, there were not many people around, the terrain was flat, and the preliminary project would save a lot, and it would save a lot of money - at least not like that densely populated place, there was not much demolition work to do.

Located at the northern entrance of the Moisan Strait, the port is built here, that is to hold this throat position, in the military sense must be of extraordinary significance, although it is good, but several other places have not been seen with their own eyes, Xu Ziling will not make a decision immediately, standing on the beach and looking, let the lion who came out with him scan the seabed topography map of the surrounding sea area, and after chatting for a while, several people got in the car and left, and went to the No. 2 position in the south direction.

After more than an hour, I came to position No. 2, checked it and left, and it was noon, I had a local style Chinese meal in a town, and continued to No. 3 and No. 4, and spent the afternoon looking at both places again, and rushed back to Felik in the evening.

After eating the bento box he brought back when he passed through the city, Xu Ziling sat in the living room of the house and looked at the four scans he had scanned on his computer.

Each of the four places has its own advantages, and the distance between No. 1 and No. 4 is only 600 kilometers, but as far as the deep-water channel is concerned, it is suitable for building a port, and Xu Ziling is also difficult to choose for a while, and after looking at it for a while, he asked Yang Kaiming and them to come up with ideas.

Thinking of Smith and several of them used to be in the navy, I wonder if Lu Dao can make any suggestions, and let them take a look.

The specific meaning of the construction of the port, Xu Ziling did not mention it in detail, but Smith They also knew the current situation of the Netan Kingdom, of course, they understood that this matter was not an ordinary commercial investment, although they said that they were the navy, but they were marines, and they usually only paid attention to where to carry out tasks, and they were really not very familiar with the port, and such a thing was not so simple, and they didn't say much, a few people looked at it, and they didn't say anything useful.

"I think the No. 1 location is okay, there are not many people around, it is convenient to arrange defensive weapons or something, and it is not close to the south, so it is a little less dangerous." After watching it for a while, Yang Kaiming put forward his opinion.

Xu Ziling understood what he meant: The country controlled by the Mi people is the southern neighbor of Netan, and if it really wants to fight, it will not fight here all of a sudden, and the nearest towns around here are dozens of kilometers away, so it is no problem to arrange dozens of "patriots" here.

Of the four places, it is true that there are only a few people around the No. 1 position, and the towns established can indeed make those who want to use force worry about civilian casualties and throw rats, but Xu Ziling tends to be built in a wide place.

It is said that when the war is fought, it is necessary to pay attention to the problem of civilian casualties, but if the war really starts, who will care about this, when the time comes, it is estimated that bombers, cruise missiles and so on, they will all fall on your head, the port is really going to build the edge of the city, it is not easy to arrange defensive weapons, not to mention, there are many people, and it is difficult to ensure security.

"I also think it's a good place, it's not far from the highway and it's right at the northern entrance of the Moissan." Li Cheng also nodded, expressing his approval of Yang Kaiming's suggestion.

"Looks like you have the same point of view as I do." Xu Ziling said, "I also think this place is the most suitable, but I should ask the above meaning first, after all, we only have half of the shares." At this, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Hehe......"

Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng naturally knew the meaning of the half of the shares, and they also laughed, but the Smith next to them was a little confused, and they didn't understand what they were laughing at.

Early the next morning, it was almost noon in the domestic time, and the first thing Xu Ziling did when he got up was to contact General Fan Yi and send several plans and the images they scanned yesterday.

"Okay, I'll let the professionals study it, wait for news." Xu Ziling said his suggestion on the phone, but Fan Yi didn't say anything after hearing it, only said that he would wait for the news, and then hung up the phone.

The construction of the port will not officially start after the helicopter is delivered, and this time they came to Xu Ziling to see a few places with their own eyes and get further scanned images, and there is nothing important else, as for the result, it is the same in China, so they plan to stay for a day or two and then return to China.

However, it was Yang Kaiming who mentioned the iron ore matter, saying that Haitian had sent staff to contact the people of Netan Country, and Xu Ziling remembered whether to explore the detailed storage of this iron ore.

"It's been nothing for the past two days, why don't we go over and see how big the reserves are?"

The iron mine is located in the northwest of the Netan country, close to the inland area, because the whole country is narrow from east to west and long from north to south, and the capital Felik is also located in the north, so it is not very far from the iron mine.

"Okay, it's so far anyway, let's go take a look, with a detailed scan map, there is still a little money left for the detection."

Yang Kaiming said with a smile.

"Okay, then let's go!"

A few people decided to take a look, and Smith looked at the map and felt that the road to this place was not very easy, so he asked a few people if they wanted to get a helicopter.

"No need!" After listening, Xu Ziling was the first to refuse, but he remembered what happened to the people of the United States in Somalia, Africa: several "Black Eagles" were shot down by local militants with bazookas, there are too many bazookas in this land, not "Thunder Dragon", he didn't dare to sit on other helicopters, "I don't dare to sit if you get me an 'Apache', this place will not come out of nowhere a few rockets, we better drive there." ”

Although the truth is not as terrifying as he said, there is indeed such a phenomenon in this part of Africa, if some radical organization is unhappy to see you flying in the sky, it is not impossible to fire a few rockets at you, hundreds of kilometers, no matter how bad the road conditions are, patience will pass, there is no need to take that risk.

"Well, good driving!"

"Let's drive!"

Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng naturally knew this truth, they were not people who only enjoyed it, and besides, taking a helicopter was not enjoyable, but it was just a little faster, so they also rejected Smith's kindness and agreed to drive over.

Smith didn't think much about it, when he went out on a mission before, in order to be in a hurry, he dared to run to the mission site in a helicopter even in the face of a rain of bullets, he didn't think that they were not in a hurry at all, there was no need to be in such a hurry, seeing that several people were opposed, he shrugged his shoulders, then smiled, and went to prepare water, food, weapons, and other necessary equipment.

It is more than 600 kilometers to go to the location of the iron mine, but to the west is from the plains to the plateau and then to the mountains, and it is far away from the highway, the road conditions are very poor, and several people are not ready to return tonight, so the necessary preparations must be needed.

Fortunately, Smith and the others are very accustomed to going out, and every time they go to a new place, they will prepare some outdoor things, like tents or something, and when he bought the house, he prepared these, and after a while, with the help of several other team members, everything was ready.

Put it in the car and load it, and a few people are ready to go.

Leaving the city, less than an hour, a few people arrived at the plateau area, the country road, completely dirt road, it seems that no one should have planned, that is, the car has become a road after going more, the road surface is undulating, potholes everywhere, when encountering a big pothole, the car can only hang on the low gear and move forward slowly.

Several people were bumpy all the way, and from time to time their heads could be mounted on the roof of the car, Li Cheng smiled and said that this was not much different from making a sedan chair, which attracted the resonance of Xu Ziling and Yang Kaiming.

On the plateau, there are tropical plants everywhere, some tall and some short, facing the sun, but it has a different flavor, they are not in a hurry, so they did not let Smith drive fast, endured the bumps, looked at the scenery outside the car, but did not feel so uncomfortable.

After a while, the road conditions were a little better, and finally it was no longer so bumpy. Looking out the window, Xu Ziling found that some animals appeared under the trees and among the grass, but they were not close to their cars and could not see clearly, but from a distance, there were lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes and other large animals from the body shape, but the small ones were too far away to be recognized at all.

"You say, 'Is this lion meat delicious?'

Li Cheng, who was behind, naturally saw the animals wandering in the distance, and suddenly said this.

"Eat?"

Several people were shocked by his thoughts.

Xu Ziling remembered that he had been to the Sword Base several times before, and every night, he liked to call people to go to the Gobi Desert to hunt rabbits, and then use them to roast and eat, and thought: Is this the sequelae of eating too many rabbits? Want to eat it when you see it's meat?

A few people in the car, when they killed people, they were ruthless, of course, there was not much of this to protect the idea that animals could not be hunted, and after listening to his words, they also had the same doubts: I don't know if the lion meat can be eaten.
