Mogadishu, fifty km from the airport.

Looking down from the sky, this small building including dormitories, clubs, sports rooms and other structures can be vaguely seen, and when the first phase is built, at least until January next year, the total investment has been smashed down to 4 million US dollars, for these money Tang Dao is willing to spend, serve the employees well, and then get it back from the employees.

Circulating funds within priority channels.

Tang Dao is becoming more and more like the face of a capitalist.

At this time, John's eyebrows were furrowed, and he fell into deep thought, and there was an order from Benin in front of him.

Benin?

John has never heard of that place, and it is not easy to find it on the map of Africa, only as wide as a little thumb, located in the central and southern regions of West Africa, the highest place in the country is only more than 600 meters, and the total area is only about 110,000 square kilometers, which is one of the few countries in Africa that has not had a war, and the last time they had a war was in the 19th century.

Of course, his next-door neighbors, including Nigeria, were more panicked.

And he now has an order on his desk from an African tribe in Benin.

They need 200 AKs as well as 20 base bullets.

That's too small!

But what makes John very concerned is that this is the first order from West Africa, will this be an opportunity to open up the West African market? It's just that if you want to go to Benin, at least through Sudan, Chad, Nigeria and other countries, from the perspective of interests, there is no profit at all.

"Jingle bell..."

Just as he was pondering, the landline on the table rang, which was very sudden, startling him, and when he reacted, he shook his head self-deprecatingly, propped his elbows on the table, and picked up the phone, "Hey, hello, where?" ”

"There's an Apennine dog that didn't have a leash and went to look for Lao Hei." The other side said a few words, and then hung up the phone.

This may sound unfamiliar to outsiders, but John instantly understood.

Apennine dog = Italian.

Black: Aideed.

This means that there is an Italian, whose identity is unknown, who met Aideed, whose intentions are unknown, and whose conversation between the two is unknown.

John hung the microphone back, frowning.

Before Tang Dao left, he stared at Aideed, a "hillbilly" born in the countryside of Mudug State, but a real wild dog, he was very ambitious, and he once said to his personal property officer Omar after drinking, "I want North Africa to call me Emperor Aideed!" ”

Sometimes don't just drink and eat once in a while.

Don't look at the honeymoon period between the two parties, there are many people who cheat during this period, you have to figure out what deal is between that Italian and him? These trifles make people's heads swell.

After sorting out the papers, he knocked on the table a few times, put it aside, stood up, and walked outside, just in time to see Pierce smoking under a tree not far away, so he shouted, "Pierce! ”

The Yankee looked up blankly, saw John hooking his hand towards him, and had to hand the freshly lit cigarette to the priest next to him, and trotted over, "Boss." ”

Strictly speaking, Pierce is the second head of the umbrella, that is, John's deputy, which is actually not wrong.

"Come with me to Mogadishu."

"What are you doing in the city?"

"Have afternoon tea with Mr. Aideed." John grinned.

Afternoon tea?

Do you have to run dozens of kilometers to drink?

Pierce scratched his head, but felt that John was looking for fault, and he asked in a low voice, "Do you want to bring some people?" Call the priest to them? ”

"No, no, it's just the two of us, there are too many people, I'm afraid he will be nervous." John pushed the other party's shoulder, the latter shrugged, and went to the garage to drive an open-top off-road, that is, the top of the head was blown over by a shell, bullet holes can still be seen on the body, and the tires of the car have also lost a few layers of skin, but only this wheel can be seen a little.

This is actually taken from the "car graveyard".

In addition to the hinds, the armored vehicles that can be used by the umbrella company are not convenient for running on the ground, but they are even more scarce like off-road vehicles, in order to make do with them first, John bought more than a dozen off-road vehicles from the "cemetery" that can also "move", including pickup trucks!

It's not funny, after all, Hawk-chan has also ridden a donkey on the battlefield.

"Bang!" John, who was sitting in the passenger seat, slammed the door shut, but the door was very disobedient, like a tantrum, and it couldn't be closed anyway.

"Boss, I think it's better for you to hook your little thumb."

Pierce couldn't help grinning on the side, and in the end even tears of laughter were about to come out, and he stretched out his right hand and hooked his little thumb, which looked a little childish.

"Fack!" John blushed and cursed, "Isn't there any other car?" The car is so broken. ”

Pierce shrugged, leaned over, grabbed the handle, and pushed hard, the glass was about to shatter, and the eardrums were painful, but the door was finally closed, and the former said with a smile, "As long as you don't be honest, if you yell at him, he will be good." ”

John was stunned, turned his head to look at him, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled.

……

Aideed looked at the silver-haired Italian in front of him slowly wiping his glasses, his face was a little impatient, and his tone was also very dissatisfied, "Mr. Wallace, are you planning to spark your glasses?" ”

He was expressing his displeasure.

But the other party raised his head, with a small scar on the corner of his eye, he still sighed unhurriedly at his glasses, wiped it with paper a few times, and then put it on. ”

Aideed waved his hand and frowned, "Forget it, you're from Italy, you don't just want to say this, right?" ”

"Of course I heard about my friend Cecilio. Baggio died in Mogadishu? ”

Cecilio?

Is that the gentleman?

Aideed's mind instantly appeared with the figure of the other party, and most importantly, the most important thing is that he also understood the cause and reason of the other party's death, which also had a lot to do with him.

Wallace stared at each other, this kind of behavior is very rude!

At least Aideed is very unhappy, how old are you, looking at Lao Tzu with this kind of eyes? With two important towns in Mogadishu and Beledwen, he became the largest warlord in Somalia at once, with no air force at his disposal, but 3,000 armed men! And all of them are armed with advanced weapons AK47, and if necessary, with a single order, he can wipe out the entire population of both cities.

In this part of Africa, when there are people in their hands, their waists are hard.

Are you an Italian here for interrogation?

Wallace saw that the other party's car eyes were becoming more and more fierce, and he sighed in his heart, secretly screaming that it was not good, so he grabbed the other party and spoke first, "He is also a little pitiful, his family asked me to find his body, and I still need to trouble General Aideed to help here." He said as he placed a check in front of him.

Lao Hei lowered his head and looked at the numbers very experienced.

He hadn't read much, and he had only learned to command combat and so on at military school, but he found that he had become more sensitive to the numbers since he took Mogadishu.

Aideed's facial expression was slight, he nodded, pressed the check with his elbow without moving, raised his head and said, "Mr. Cecilio's body is in the US military station, but the body has already been seen, after all, the weather in Somalia is very hot." ”

When Wallace heard this, he tried to look sad and said bitterly, "Then I can only go back with his ashes, I think, in Italy, God will bless him and his family." ”

In fact, those who can make a name for themselves in this society are actors!

Politicians are, businessmen too, and even beggars on the streets.

Whoever acts well will stand out.

Aideed looked at the check, and then at the other party, who was about to wipe his tears, and a big man cried like this, and his scalp was numb.

"Mr. Wallace—" He glanced at Oumar, the steward of his personal property, who went to his desk and brought the cardboard box to the other side, "Cecilio can't bear to see you cry in God's place. ”

Wallace smoked a piece of paper, wiped his cigarette glasses down, his nose flushed, "I'm sorry, I... I just..."

"I understand, I understand." Aideed's hand pressed down, looking at the check for comfort, and slowly drew the check and pressed it under the teacup.

"I know what Cecilio came to Mogadishu for, he has a job here, but I don't want to talk about that, I came to the general this time, in fact, I have a business to find the general."

Aideed likes business the most, it means money, his eyes lit up, and he motioned for the other party to continue.

"Our company wants to lease the port of Mogadishu for $500,000 a year, and we want to rent it for 10 years!" Wallace hurriedly said, perhaps because he felt that his state was very urgent, so he eased his tone, "Cecilio came to Mogadishu for this reason, but then something happened, so he stopped and asked me to take over." ”

Rent a port?

The port of Mogadishu is actually not large, the annual throughput is at most tens of tons, and it is not even possible to dock large warships, and the most is what, the sea speedboats depart from here, and eat the sea by the sea, and Somali pirates are famous.

Moreover, Aideed didn't plan to form a navy, he couldn't afford to raise that thing, and the maintenance fee of a warship could kill him, the 500,000 a year, 10 years is 5 million US dollars.

"Can this be paid in a lump sum?"

Wallace smiled and nodded, "Of course it's okay, isn't our friendship with the general worth $5 million?"

Although this was hypocritical, Aideed listened to it comfortably, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he was about to nod his head in agreement, when there was a knock at the door, and a guard walked in and saluted, "General, John. Mr. Cansburg arrived. ”

"Huh? How did they get here? I didn't ask them out. Aideed frowned and looked at his henchman Ouma, who was also confused.

"Invite them to the next office, Mr. Wallace, and I'll come as soon as I go."

Although Wallace was unhappy, he could only smile and nod.
