Chapter 395: Hunting with Extraordinary Intentions!
The Donghua Empire's large-scale investment in Kenya and Somalia naturally attracted many Donghua businessmen to follow the government to Africa to seek new business opportunities. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
With the infusion of a large amount of Donghua capital into Kenya, more and more Donghua businessmen traveled between Gimhai and Nairobi.
The later Tsavo National Park in Kenya is now a hunting ground for the Walyanguru and Khamba tribes. Here, the legend of the "Tsavo Ogre" has made people's fear of the Tsavo Man-Eating Lion more and more evil.
This wild hunting ground, located 160 kilometers southeast of Nairobi, stretches on both sides of the middle section of the Nairobi-Mombasa road, covering an area of more than 20,000 square kilometers, with complex terrain, mountains, plains, rocks, sandy soils, savannahs, shrubs and so on.
June is autumn in Kenya. Baobab trees can be found everywhere. Robinia trees always grow lonely in the grasslands, and occasionally one or two giraffes stand under the trees with their long necks stretched out and happily feed on the leaves of the black locust trees.
Euphorbia trees lay upside down on the dirt road, and long weeds, shrubs, and trees obliterate everything on either side of the road.
Two military Humvee off-road vehicles with obvious Donghua manufacturing style characteristics kicked up yellow dust in the sky and quickly passed through the bushes where wildebeests, zebras and giraffes alternated.
In mid-air, a UH60 "Black Hawk" utility helicopter sprayed with the Blue Shield logo of Panshi International Security Company followed the two military Humvees unhurriedly and circled at a low altitude of 300 meters.
The door of the helicopter cabin was ajar, and the jet-black barrel of an M17A2 general-purpose machine gun stretched out of the cabin, and the yellow and clear metal bullet chain shimmered with dazzling golden light in the sunlight.
A mercenary of Chinese descent about 25 or 6 years old, carrying a Barrett M82A1 sniper rifle in his arms, rested his left leg lightly on the outside of the hatch, and held a military high-powered telescope in his right hand to observe the scene on the ground, and from time to time reported "safety" signals through the intercom.
Herbivores such as antelopes, bison, and wildebeest can be found everywhere in this wildlife-rich area, while kingfishers, ostriches, crowned cranes, and spotted coyotes appear from time to time, while carnivores such as lions and cheetahs require a little effort to find.
Towards noon, two military Humvee off-road vehicles, guided by the helicopter navigation above, safely and smoothly went deep into the deep hinterland of this hunting ground.
"01, 01, at nine o'clock, 12 kilometers in a straight line, there is a lion pack."
Another Humvee, about fifteen meters behind the Humvee in front, heard a clear announcement on its on-board radio.
In the back seat of the military Humvee, Cheng Gong, who was wearing a dark brown hunting jacket, flicked his fingers out of the window with the cigar butt in his hand, turned his head and rushed to the middle-aged black man in his forties, with short curly hair and beard, and a strong physique, and smiled happily: "Mr. Ma Kangnan, it seems that we are lucky to find the lions so quickly." ā
Ma Kangnan looked at Cheng Gong happily and said with a loud smile: "Your Majesty, in the words of you Chinese, I owe you a blessing." Since becoming Emperor of Ethiopia, I have not come to this hunting ground to hunt lions. The African lion is the most ferocious beast, and a man who lacks courage does not dare to shoot at it, even if he has a gun in his hand. ā
"Hehe, I'm more interested in catching a lion cub as a pet." Cheng Gong smiled indifferently: "Of course, it would be even better if I could meet the legendary 'Black Night' and 'Demon' two man-eating lions." Mr. Ma Kangnan, do you think these two Tsavo man-eating lions have really been blessed by the beast god? ā
"I guess only God knows." Ma Kangnan shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, pouted and said, "In Africa, there are many things that cannot be explained by science. If the gods of China can bless Your Majesty to create the hegemony of the Donghua Empire, I believe that the gods of Africa should also bless us Africans to drive European bandits out of Africa. ā
"Hehe, if you want to drive the Europeans out of Africa, I think you should make a wish to me instead of asking for African gods." Cheng Gong's eyes squinted slightly at the sunset outside the window, and said slowly, "Do you know why I suddenly found you?" ā
"I hope Your Majesty can solve your doubts!" Ma Kangnan said solemnly with a puzzled look in his eyes.
To be honest, Tafari Makangnan has not yet figured out why His Majesty the Jincheng Emperor of the Donghua Empire suddenly appeared in Kenya. Why did he suddenly invite the Ethiopian exiled emperor over to hunt with him through Shi Zhenhai, the commander-in-chief of the Rock Mercenaries?
Three days ago, Haile Selassie I (formerly known as Tafari Maconnan), who was planning a strategic counteroffensive against the Italian occupation forces in the Somali base area, received a call from the headquarters of the Rock Mercenaries, saying that Shi Zhenhai, the commander-in-chief of the Rock Mercenaries, had something to do with him and hoped that he would take the time to visit the Rock Mercenary Headquarters Base in Nairobi, Kenya.
While the fact that the Ethiopian People's Liberation Army and the guerrillas were able to defeat the Italian occupation forces was due to the heroic and tenacious fighting spirit of the Ethiopian people, Haile Selassie I knew better that his victories were closely related to the Rock Mercenaries.
Behind the Rock Mercenaries stood the royal family of the Donghua Empire, a secret that had long been not a secret in the international community, and Haile Selassie I certainly knew it.
The government of the Donghua Empire was able to make the Panshi mercenaries go all out to help the Ethiopian People's Liberation Army fight, in essence, the Donghua Emperor was willing to help him Haile Selassie I restore the country.
Therefore, for the summons of Shi Zhenhai, the commander-in-chief of the Rock Mercenaries, Haile Selassie I did not dare to slack off at all. After receiving the call, he immediately took a UH60 "Black Hawk" utility helicopter provided by the Rock Mercenaries to fly directly from Jijiga, the capital of Somali Prefecture, Ethiopia, to Nairobi, the capital of Kenya.
After meeting Seok Zhenhae, Haile Selassie I was mysteriously taken to a large manor by Sek Zhenhai before he could figure out what the commander-in-chief of the Rock Mercenary had asked him to do.
When Haile Selassie met Cheng Gong in this seemingly ordinary farm, the Ethiopian emperor-in-exile was horrified.
The Jincheng Emperor of the Donghua Empire secretly came to Africa and Kenya!
The political and military implications of this could not be left to the imagination of Haile Selassie I to the fullest.
It's just that Cheng Gong didn't say anything to Haile Selassie I at that time, except for the normal greeting, he only said that he wanted him to accompany him to hunt.
The Emperor of the Donghua Empire was able to hunt Yaxing, and Haile Selassie I did not find it strange at all.
You must know that almost every year, many wealthy nobles from Europe and Asia make a special trip to the African savannah to hunt, and this hunting activity has also become an unwritten competition in the royal and aristocratic circles of various countries.
After hearing from Shi Zhenhai's mouth that His Majesty the young emperor of the Donghua Empire had come to Africa specifically to hunt and relax, Haile Selassie I secretly decided that he must accompany the youngest and most powerful young emperor in the world to choose a unique hunting ground.
Sure enough, when Cheng Gong heard that Haile Selassie I had proposed to hunt African lions in the hunting grounds of the Valyanguru and Khamba tribes, he immediately expressed a very strong interest. In particular, after Haile Selassie I talked about the legend of the "Tsavo Ogre" in this hunting ground, Cheng Gong became even more interested.
I have to say that Haile Selassie I would take the initiative to hunt lions, which is really a bit unexpected by Cheng Gong.
Cheng Gong's initiative was to get a glimpse of the character and character of the Ethiopian emperor-in-exile through practical contact, so as to provide a reference for whether the Donghua Empire's government would increase the assistance provided to the Ethiopian People's Liberation Army and guerrillas in the future.
