Chapter 324: King of Red Island
Regardless of whether Liu Weiguo sells Guanzi or not, Cheng Liping knows that he is not a talker. It took so much money and so much energy to arrange things, which naturally came in handy. But what is surprising is that Liu Weiguo originally said that there are thousands of Vietnamese tribe residents on this island, why didn't he see any of them?
Liu Weiguo seemed to see Cheng Liping's doubt, and without saying a word, he sent someone to drive a half-new and half-old jeep and motioned for Cheng Liping to sit in the passenger seat. Cheng Liping went up as he said, Liu Weiguo turned around and arranged for his subordinates to say a few words, and immediately started the car and drove straight ahead. Red Island is not big, no one has built a road, and the current road is still a dirt road from the same group of tribesmen. The jeep drove by, knocking down a number of small saplings along the way.
After walking forward for more than ten minutes, Cheng Liping suddenly heard a sharp gunshot, turned his head to look at Liu Weiguo, and had a casual expression on his face. Cheng Liping knew in his heart, I don't know if those tribal residents were pulled by Liu Weiguo, and where are they practicing guns now.
The facts proved Cheng Liping's judgment, and when the car arrived at Shanyankou, Liu Weiguo stopped the car and continued to move forward with Cheng Liping. Along the way, there were young men in army green clothes guarding with guns, and if you looked closely, they were all the group of friends who came out of Licheng. In the past, when they saw Cheng Liping, this group of people would smile and say hello crazy, after all, Cheng Liping was their idol in their hearts. But now during the duty, everyone has an excited smile in their eyes, but their faces are as expressionless as steel, and they are extremely resolute.
Descending the mountain rock pass, there is a 20-meter-long gap on the edge of the mountain wall as high as 100 meters. However, this gap is very narrow, and it is only one and a half meters when it is full. Liu Weiguo walked in first, and Cheng Liping followed quickly, only to see a few ropes made of kudzu vines hanging in the gap, which had been hanging downward. Cheng Liping heard it clearly, and the gunshots came from below.
Liu Weiguo grabbed Ge Teng and slid down quickly. Cheng Liping followed closely, slid halfway but suddenly stopped. Although Liu Weiguo had mentioned it to him, he still couldn't believe his eyes at the moment. Because underneath that gap is almost a whole new world. Although it was already night, Cheng Liping could still tell that the landscape here was mountainous, full of unknown trees and vegetation. On the hills, simple dwellings were built, and the lights came through them, and they looked like stars.
"Come down." Liu Weiguo shouted below.
There was a cacophony of shouts, some in Vietnamese, some dialects on the Yunnan border, and some languages that Cheng Liping had never heard of, and I didn't know where they belonged. Cheng Liping followed, passed through several canopies, and slowly fell to the ground. Below is a flat patch of ground, presumably newly remediated, as there are still white roots in some places.
Surrounding Liu Weiguo was a group of young people with dark complexions, all with deep-set eye sockets and yellowish eyes, but the spirit was extremely fierce. They are not very athletic, probably because the living conditions are too difficult, but the muscles exposed to the outside are smooth and powerful, and they know at a glance that they are the indigenous elite who are not to be messed with.
Liu Weiguo raised his hand and said something in a loud voice, and those people looked at Cheng Liping one after another, their bodies were half-bowed, their right hands were on their chests, and their left arms were raised high. Cheng Liping didn't know what etiquette this was, so he only nodded lightly and smiled. Liu Weiguo waved his hand again, and the group of people whined and retreated, and within two minutes, they all disappeared in the wilderness.
Cheng Liping smiled: "Brother Liu, this is the native soldier you recruited?" ”
Liu Weiguo said with a serious face: "It's our warrior." ”
Cheng Liping said: "What did you just say, why did they all salute me?" ”
Liu Weiguo smiled: "I said that you are the king of Red Island." ”
Cheng Liping was taken aback, this joke is too big, why did he become a king inexplicably? Seeing the surprised look on Cheng Liping's face, Liu Weiguo laughed leisurely, but he didn't explain anything, but took Cheng Liping and continued to walk forward. After walking for more than ten minutes, he came to a grass hut on a high place, Liu Weiguo sat down and shouted something at the two natives. The two men bowed down respectfully, turned their heads away, and after a short time, came back with two pots of meat and vegetables.
Cheng Liping looked at it and saw that the meat dish was a few large bones, with large pieces of meat attached to them. The two natives also brought two clay pots, and Liu Weiguo poured a glass out, which was actually the liquor brewed by the natives. Cheng Liping tasted it and found that this liquor was sweet and refreshing, slightly sweet with a fragrance, although the alcohol content was not low, it was very refreshing in the stomach.
Liu Weiguo picked up a big bone and gnawed it, and after eating a few bites, he said with a smile: "This is the meat of the Vietnamese black panther." ”
Vietnamese Panthers? A few years ago, when Cheng Liping was on a mission in Vietnam, he had heard about this animal, but it is said that this animal is extremely fierce, and even the tiger is not their opponent, but because of its exquisite fur and tender meat, it has long been hunted and exterminated by the Vietnamese, how can it appear here? Liu Weiguo shrugged his shoulders and said with a relaxed face: "It's normal, if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have thought that there would be an isolated place on this island?" ”
Cheng Liping nodded, grabbed a piece of meat and gnawed it. Sure enough, this piece of meat looks very fat, but it is fragrant and crispy in the mouth, and it is full of strength. I killed a few large bones in one go, and drank more than half of the wine in the two clay pots.
Liu Weiguo stood up satisfied, and suddenly said with emotion: "If you can live this life like this, you will be really satisfied." ”
Cheng Liping couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of the defense facilities on Red Island. You know, according to the national border, this is the territory of the Vietnamese, and if they knew that there was an island in the island, they would definitely come and explore it. In such a mysterious underground island, the devil knows how many rare mineral deposits and endangered animals and plants are hidden, and if you don't take any of them and put them in the international news, it can cause a great sensation.
Liu Weiguo and they now have the advantage, it is nothing more than because they were taken by surprise and Cheng Hongbin is making trouble behind their backs. The Vietnamese did not know the details of their background, and they were afraid to attack, so they did not officially launch the attack. If it is really a confrontation between the two armies, a formation of fighters will fly over, and they will be able to clean up all these people. At the end of the day, it's a completely asymmetrical contest.
However, looking at Liu Weiguo's expression, it seems that he is determined to fight with the Vietnamese. Cheng Liping was not interested in being a king at all, and he didn't want to talk to Liu Weiguo on this issue, so he had to change the topic and said, "What's the matter with these people, why do they follow your instructions so meekly?" ”
Liu Weiguo smiled and said, "You want to ask me if I carried out a tribal massacre, right?" ”
Cheng Liping also smiled, but he didn't nod his head to admit it, because he knew very well in his heart that Liu Weiguo was not a bloodthirsty executioner.
Liu Weiguo said: "Actually, none of us were harmed. They were persecuted to come to the Red Island, and they discovered the underground island. However, there were Vietnamese panthers on this island, and they sent a few sturdy young men down to explore, and without exception, they were all eaten by the panthers. When we came, we shot one at a time, killing dozens of panthers. They knew that they couldn't compete with us, and when they saw that we respected them, firstly for self-preservation, and secondly for finding a backer, they happily belonged to us. ”
Cheng Liping laughed, this story is a bit like what happened in China in the last century, several foreign warships ran to the mouth of the Yangtze River to fire a few cannons, and the corrupt and incompetent Qing government was frightened and signed a contract with a white flag. Fortunately, China is now ashamed and courageous, standing dazzlingly among the world's great powers, and no longer has to bear such humiliation.
Liu Weiguo didn't laugh, but fell silent. After a few minutes, he sighed and said: "I heard about the matter of the flour group, Xiao Cheng, you are doing the right thing in this move, you have to give up to get it, hold those shares, but the situation will be more dangerous." Because they don't want you to have wealth, and having wealth means having the ability to rebel, and for them, this danger of getting out of control is absolutely unacceptable. ”
Cheng Liping smiled: "Then you still let me be the king, doesn't this confirm their inference?" ”
Liu Weiguo blinked his eyes and smiled: "I can't bear it, I don't need to endure it anymore." If you really didn't have this mind, you wouldn't have come here in person this time. ”
Cheng Liping raised his wine glass and drank a glass of wine. This is the island under the island, originally the moonlight should not shine, but I don't know what's going on, on the edge of the mountains and forests in the distance, wisps of soft moonlight are descending, bright and poignant. Liu Weiguo said: "There is sea water over there, and the sea water is refracted by it. Cheng Liping doesn't know if what Liu Weiguo said is right, there doesn't seem to be this in the knowledge he has learned, anyway, there is no mention of the island within the island in the books, so everything is a new continent.
Liu Weiguo said again: "I have briefly explored, there are diamonds on this island...... Diamond mines. Remember the flat ground where we came down from the kudzu vine, it was there? ”
Cheng Liping was taken aback again, when it comes to diamonds, most people may be ignorant, but when it comes to processed diamonds will become precious diamonds, many people must understand. Liu Weiguo is a person who does not pay attention to wealth, and he has more or less hundreds of millions of assets after destroying the wealth distributed to him by drug dealers, so he does not have to risk confronting a country for the discovery of a diamond mine. The only reason is that this diamond mine has very high reserves and very good texture, and most of them can be used for cutting-edge industrial and space exploration technologies.
For most countries, this is a fat meat that the whole country has to fight for. Eating this piece of fat is enough to ensure that they will have no worries for decades. But no one expected that this kind of lucky encounter would fall on the heads of Cheng Liping, Liu Weiguo and others. It's just that whether this kind of luck brings good luck or bad luck, only God knows.
Cheng Liping knows very well in his heart that the gap in the mountain rock mouth is gradually getting bigger, and when the satellite can take pictures and monitor, this island within the island will no longer be a secret, and this diamond mine will be exposed to the world at that time. The Vietnamese have sovereignty over this island, but other countries will not give it up willingly, and will definitely send capable forces to investigate. In addition, countries such as South Africa, Zaire, and Australia, which are rich in diamonds, will do everything to deal with them in order to prevent the emergence of one more competitor. It is simply impossible to expect eighteen or nineteen young men from Li Cheng plus more than 3,000 tribes to defend this island.
