On the way from Nairobi to the hunting grounds, Cheng Gong did not mention the topic of cooperation between the two sides, but listened carefully to Haile Selassie I's eyebrows fluttering and talking about his glorious deeds in various hunting activities in those years, and especially some strange rumors about the "Tsavo Man-eating Lion". Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Haile Selassie I, apparently a seasoned political figure, did not ask Cheng Gong why he suddenly appeared in Africa, and summoned him specifically. The two talked more about African history and folklore.

Two Humvee military off-road vehicles, provided by the Rock Mercenaries, slowly moved through shallow grass, long grass, shrubs, and the edge of the woods. The hunters in the car were looking for prey among the vegetation with their surveys or binoculars.

Soon, a grove of trees appeared ahead.

In the grass, two lion cubs were playing with the lioness. The movement of the vehicle did not have much effect on the lioness. The lioness kept pointing her ass at the approaching vehicles, occasionally turning her head and glancing lazily at the two steel monsters moving side by side, then turning her head away and ignoring them.

Not far away, an adult male lion lay in the grass, sleeping on all fours as if no one was around, as if ignoring the alien animals that threatened to threaten the outside of his home hall.

About fifty meters apart, two Humvees stopped, but did not turn off.

Shi Zhenhai led three strong warriors dressed as heavily armed rock mercenaries out of the first Humvee, and immediately dispersed into a vigilant escort formation.

Cheng Gong's bodyguard, Lin Dong, got out of the passenger seat of the second Humvee and pushed the door, carrying a Rock Mercenary Active Service Standard C38H (SCAR-H/7.62mm caliber) assault rifle in his hand, with the muzzle facing the sky, half-raised, and looking around with an alert expression.

Cheng Gong and Haile Selassie I pushed the door out of the back seat of the car on the left and right.

Cheng Gong skillfully loaded the SCAR-H assault rifle in his hand, shot in a standing position, and held the rifle flat with both hands, and the muzzle of the gun turned around on the head of the lion and the lioness.

Haile Selassie I also carried a C38H assault rifle, the muzzle of which was slung up on his shoulder, and looked with interest at the youngest and most powerful young emperor in the world.

As if sensing the coming, the male lion who had been sleeping suddenly turned over and stood up, two lion eyes with a faint green light, staring gloomily at the humanoid creature in the distance, raising its front paws lightly, slowly approaching.

Suddenly, the male lion quickly activated, bringing a gust of fishy wind, and fiercely pounced towards Cheng Gong, who was aiming at the end of the gun.

I don't know if Cheng Gong couldn't bear it, or if he was frightened, he forgot to pull it with his right index finger on the trigger.

"Protect the Emperor!" Lin Dong roared, raised his gun and prepared to shoot.

Haile Selassie I didn't care to remind Cheng Gong beside him at this time, but he saw that he moved extremely quickly and loaded the bullet, took aim, and decisively pulled the trigger.

"Woohoo!" Three bursts.

The male lion that pounced less than ten meters away, three blood flowers burst out in the middle of his head, and before he could even roar and scream, he fell to the ground suddenly, his feet twitching lightly and struggling for his life.

The sound of the gunfire apparently startled the lioness as well, but as soon as it turned around, Haile Selassie I's muzzle was followed by three more gunshots.

"Woohoo!" The lioness burst out of her head with three blood flowers, and her husband, like her husband, was killed on the spot.

"Change the tranquilizer bomb and catch those two little lions!" Haile Selassie I held a gun with his right elbow bent, the muzzle of the gun pointed to the sky, and said in a loud voice to Lin Dong, who was standing in front of Cheng Gong on guard.

After saying far away, he didn't care if Lin Dong would listen to him, but looked at Cheng Gong, who was slowly putting down the rifle, with a serious expression, and asked seriously: "Your Majesty Jincheng, why didn't you shoot just now?" Don't you know how dangerous an adult male lion is to attack after being frightened? ”

Cheng Gong slowly turned off the assault rifle safety in his hand, and said with a calm smile: "I suddenly felt a little cruel to shoot this lion just now. Sir Selassie, don't you have this lion's family, very warm and harmonious? ”

"Human beings have always been the most ferocious animals in the world." Haile Selassie I walked over with an indifferent expression and smiled disappreciatively: "Between people, there is no mercy in fighting and killing, let alone facing a group of ferocious beasts. Your Majesty, I really didn't expect you to have such a benevolent heart. ”

"Hehe, it seems that I was thinking too much just now. Actually, I'm a person, I don't like to take the initiative to attack, and people have never offended me, and I don't offend people. Cheng Gong looked at Haile Selassie I with a look of approval, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency Selassie I, thank you for saving me just now. ”

Haile Selassie I stared thoughtfully at Cheng Gong's eyes for a second more look, and then smiled indifferently: "Your Majesty, we are companions who come to hunt together, and it is appropriate to take care of each other." In the situation just now, I believe that it is not that you lack courage, but that you are soft-hearted and hesitant at all points. Why don't we change places and try to fight a few more lions? ”

"No, Selassie." Cheng Gong took a deep breath and said, "Just now, I actually wanted to know what kind of action you would take when you were in danger. ”

Haile Selassie I's eyes flashed with a look of understanding that was really so, and he asked slowly, neither humble nor arrogant: "Your Majesty means that if I was frightened by that lion just now and turned around and ran, the cooperation between the two countries would end here?" ”

"I hope that my partner is a wise man who is brave and resourceful!" Cheng Gong nodded very seriously and replied: "It is easy for me to help you return to the country, but whether you can defend the country after returning to the country is the same as the benevolent and the wise." We have an old saying in China, it is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country.

I have always admired courage and tenacity! People with this personality trait will never fail easily in whatever they do. Ethiopia was invaded by Italy, and the royal family was forced into exile, but Your Excellency has been campaigning for the international community and actively making various efforts for its restoration.

I've only heard of these things, but I haven't seen them with my own eyes. But today, I have seen your courage and courage in the face of danger! Your Excellency Selassie, I feel that you are a very good national leader and a good partner worthy of in-depth cooperation!

Post-war Africa will face even more serious challenges. Ethiopia is close to the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, and Europe's old power certainly does not want to see an independent and powerful Ethiopia on the shores of the Red Sea straits. Because, it's not in their interest! ”

The ancient sages of China have a cloud: people cannot be disguised, and the sea water cannot be measured. Sure enough, it's not a fool! Haile Selassie I was filled with emotion.

If anyone is deceived by the age of the young emperor in front of him, he is guaranteed to eat not even a bone left!

It is said that the young emperor was a scheming politician, and today it seems that he is indeed a scheming and unfathomable wise man.

Just now he mentioned post-war Africa!

So, the main purpose of his secret visit to Africa this time was to prepare for the strategic layout of the Donghua Empire in Africa after the war?
