Xia Ming came to Madagascar to make a turn in Saudi Arabia first, and the entry was also a fake identity of Metz Lane, unlike the last time he fished in the Seychelles, the ship and people were stared at by Yang Yuanchang, otherwise he might have been attacked by the CIA in the hotel.

Considering that the longer they stayed, the greater the risk of exposure, Xia Ming and his entourage rushed to Ambanga, 180 kilometers southwest of Antsirana, the next day and found President Cheng's friend.

The I.I.A. came to see the C.I.A. in Anziranana by a timber merchant named Ma Zhenghua, whose estate is on a hill on the outskirts of the city, with a sugar cane plantation underneath the hill.

"After all, Madagascar has the foundation of a modern state, even if it is a colony, the state's control over the locality, and the order of the Malagasy people are much better than those countries in Africa that are made up of primitive tribes, and the situation is not as bad as Lao Cheng said. But the gods fight, mortals suffer, a good country, it seems that it is not far from the shelf. ”

Ma Zhenghua teased the two arc monkeys that looked cute and stupid, and at the same time spit out bitter water similar to President Cheng.

"It's always been quiet here in the north, except for the turmoil ten years ago, and the cattle thieves who roamed the countryside to get some things done. However, in the past two years, the French have come again, the Americans have also come, and we Chinese have also come a lot. It's all about nature protection or something, who doesn't know that the audience is fighting to the death? ”

"That Radama, whose ancestors have always been a large landowner in Antsiranana, whose grandfather and father were the police chiefs of the Diyana district, because of Rajonelli, who supported the coup d'état ten years ago, entered the military and became the cadre of the new government to stabilize the north. He had a private army of more than 1,000 men, and several battalions of government troops on this side, as well as the navy and air force, were generally at his disposal. ”

"The CIA must be trying to win him over, and here he is the Emperor of the Earth. However, it is not so arrogant on the face, after all, Madagascar has passed the stage of the tribal era. ”

Ma Zhenghua's introduction was compared with the information provided by Kumar. Xia Ming's understanding of Radama is even deeper.

Kumar, the only living Kumar in the Seychelles incident, is still in China and is in a state of voluntary cooperation. Xia Ming originally wanted to bring him over, but this person was already on the monitoring list of the foreign affairs department, and he himself was already happy in Huaxia and didn't want to go back to his hometown again, so he didn't move him.

Xia Ming used his mobile phone to show a satellite photo, the bay where Antsirana is located is also a world-class deep-water port, but this place is far away from anywhere and has no commercial value. The degree of development is far from enough.

The bay is divided into four districts, the city is on the peninsula between the two bays to the south, and the photo is circled in red on a large manor house on the southeastern outskirts of the city, right by the sea, and a marina.

"That's right, this is Radama's manor, and it is said that he lived in this manor most of the time", Ma Zhenghua confirmed the place, and added, "but he has manors everywhere in the whole district of Diyana." Nor is he entirely sure of his whereabouts, that ...... Did Natsu always come with a national mission? ”

Seeing Ma Zhenghua's timid expression, Xia Ming smiled: "As for me, I just want to talk to this Radama about something." As for the national mission, it is a matter for the person next to me. ”

was suddenly pulled out of the top cylinder by Xia Ming, Shang Xin was a little dazed, but in front of Ma Zhenghua. He still maintains the state of poker face, coupled with the agent temperament he has cultivated from performing official duties all year round, so that Ma Zhenghua instantly made up countless scenes in his mind.

"It's the Americans, right? We fully support Chinese businessmen! The CIA guys came running. Collusion with Radama is definitely not a good thing! ”

I was complaining that fighting back and forth ruined the business, and in a blink of an eye, I showed my loyalty, and I really couldn't hold out any hope for the businessman's discipline.

However, Ma Zhenghua volunteered, saying that there were acquaintances working in that manor who could help find out the news, but Xia Ming did not push away his kindness.

Xia Ming tentatively mentioned that he would use Ma Zhenghua's manor as a cover to make some preparations, and then he realized the other side of the businessman, and Ma Zhenghua politely refused on the grounds that he was not secretive here.

It seems that Ma Zhenghua didn't want to get involved too deeply, so he took the initiative to be an eyeliner, which was used to block Xia Ming's further request.

If you use money to lure or use business letters to coerce, it should make Ma Zhenghua bow his head. However, with such a low discipline, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be sold to the CIA, and Xia Ming did not force him again. It is said that it is going directly to Antsiranana, but in fact, more than 80 kilometers northwest of Ambanga, a city called Ambilube stopped.

One of the owners of the manor here is Anson's liaison, because his ancestors were French missionaries, and he was very familiar with the topography and human history of the Antsiranana area, and he was not dealing with the Americans.

"We've been in contact with Radama before, and it would have been nice to have more snacks at that time," Anson was a little anxious when the contact person didn't have any more information.

The biggest problem now is the lack of intelligence, and no one knows if that thing is in Radama's hands, and if so, where it will be placed. And Radama's whereabouts are difficult to grasp until he goes to Antsiranana.

If the CIA hadn't come out, they could have gone directly to Antsirana and communicated with Radama as businessmen or official Chinese officials, but the existence of the CIA complicated things. After the FBI detention incident, Xia Ming also felt that the CIA ran to Antsirana to kill him directly.

Fortunately, the CIA can only hide in the dark, and it is not easy to appear in public, which is worse than Xia Ming's situation, otherwise Xia Ming will really consider withdrawing and rearranging it.

Anson summoned six veteran members of the Seychelles operation this time, and others, such as helicopter pilot Willy, did not need him this time, and the second cargo who exposed the video on the Internet, Anson did not give him another chance. Together with the six newly assembled people, counting Anson himself, it is still thirteen.

Coupled with Wen Dehua and Lao Hong, fifteen people are not good at intelligence, and they are a little confused for a while.

As for Shangxin, I'm afraid it's the most confused of all.

Seeing that everyone didn't know where to start, Xia Ming said firmly: "There's no need to think about any tricks, I'm a scientist, for scientists, there is nothing that science and technology can't solve, if there is, it means that technology is not black enough." ”

Investigating the situation of Radama Manor through Ma Zhenghua's eyes is an idle move, and the real reliance on obtaining information is what the convoy has brought with it. Not power armor, it's drones.

It's not a consumer-level thing like a four-rotor six-rotor rotorcraft like a large-frontier-man-man-machine, but a tilt-rotor like an osprey. The fuselage is nearly two meters long, making it more cumbersome to transport than a power armor curled up in a ball.

With a maximum speed of 200 kilometers per hour, a practical ceiling of 5,000 meters, and a space time of 3 hours, this unmanned reconnaissance aircraft called "Vacuum Ghost" was developed by a domestic unmanned aerial vehicle company called "Boiling Point" and was used for special operations.

In the support system of power armored forces planned by Xia Ming, drones are a very important part. However, the needs of this system are not related to the existing military and civilian UAVs in China. The military model is also supplementing the route of unmanned reconnaissance aircraft in the theater, emphasizing high-altitude and high-speed. The requirements for support guarantees are also high. As for the civilian ones, N-axis gyroplanes like DJI's have slow speed and low ceilings, so it's okay to use them for aerial photography and express delivery, and it's child's play to use them for combat.

Xia Ming wanted a drone that had considerable speed and a radius of activity, and did not need runway support, and could hover, but at the same time required a high ceiling. Strong concealment.

Taken together, these are actually the needs of special operations. It just so happens that Boiling Point is attacking the military market, and UAVs at the theater level are the cake of the military and aircraft companies, who want to squeeze into the market for anti-terrorism and special operations. This is exactly what Xia Ming meant.

Xia Ming got a few vacuum ghosts from the boiling point company, added more advanced optical and electromagnetic detection equipment, and replaced the engine with an intelligent management battery pack to further reduce the noise. Coupled with a sufficiently high ceiling, it is enough to undertake battlefield reconnaissance and surveillance tasks of power armored forces.

Of course, it is enough to undertake Xia Ming's "private work". The vacuum boiling point he brought over was also equipped with some spy equipment, and more importantly, it was equipped with Qianyan MINI.

Before Xia Ming, he felt the lack of reconnaissance methods, and pondered the black satellite for his own use, and even launched a satellite equipped with the Qianyan MINI system.

Satellites will not be able to go to the sky for a while and a half, in the name of the power armored force support system, first use this kind of UAV to top, which can be regarded as both public and private, at least for the vacuum ghost, it is a good combat test.

"You can't rely on this stuff, can you?" Anson and Lao Hong are a little unimpressed, the drone is at most a clear shape, what can it be used for?

"Let's try it", Xia Ming didn't dare to boast about Haikou, if he failed, he wouldn't even have enough information, and he wouldn't continue to take risks.

The drone took off directly on the flat road in the manor, first did a lap of tests, including noise, ceiling, hovering maneuver, etc., and then tested the camera and various equipment, after everything was OK, landed, changed the battery, and flew north.

"You have to fly higher, and it's over if you are close to the eagle as your own kind", looking at the drone that gradually turned into a small black dot, Lao Hong muttered.

Shang Xin muttered more and more: "You ...... Didn't you really come here with a military or other ministry mission? ”

"Aren't you from Guoan? Still ask me? Xia Ming teased.

Shang Xin glanced at him: "We are the National Security Bureau, not the Ministry of National Security." ”

Then he said very seriously: "As for you, whether you are investigating that warlord or hiring a mercenary as a bodyguard, it is still within the tolerable range. But if there is an armed conflict with the locals or the CIA, I have to report it to the unit, and at the same time notify the foreign affairs department and take the necessary action to stop you. ”

"You can ignore my warnings and even restrict my freedom, but that means you are acting in defiance of the state. When I return home, I won't hide it for you, of course, you can also report me to an accident or something......"

Watching Shang Xin read out the "discipline" in a serious manner, Xia Ming smiled and said, "When did you think that our people had the confidence to go to Radama's manor?" Are we Garrison's death squads? ”

Anson also smiled on the side, Xia Ming is really here to do this, he won't follow, just like last time, he is still doing the work of a security guard. Lao Hong had a straight face, probably thinking that this trip was like a tour, and it was not boring.

Shang Xin was puzzled: "I know you're here to ask that warlord for something, but I don't see how to start, can you have any black technology to steal things directly?" ”

"Our biggest headache now is intelligence, and only when we get more information can we have a target", Xia Ming didn't elaborate, in fact, he didn't need to elaborate, it was not an unfathomable truth.

It must have been precious to Radama, and he refused to communicate. If the deal fails, you can only grab it.

Robbing is not the same as kicking the door like a robber, Xia Ming believes that for Radama, that thing is not equal to everything. Then as long as you take away Radama and force him to sit down at the negotiating table, it will be considered a success.

Anson talked about learning CIA before, in fact, this is the way, but now the information is unknown, what kind of helper to find, and from which angle. It's hard to know for sure.

After chatting with Shang Xin, the vacuum ghost has flown out far away. Anlube is only eighty kilometers from Antsiranana, and in less than half an hour, it is over the estate.

Xia Ming's luck is good, the local area is just cloudy, and the drone hovers more than 2,000 meters above the manor, sticking to the edge of the clouds, and it is invisible to the sky without carefully searching the sky with a high-powered telescope.

The image captured by the drone was sent to Xia Ming clearly and without delay through Qianyan MINI, and Xia Ming did not ask Xia Xiaoyan to deal with it. This kind of work doesn't have to use his brain, which he forwards directly to the laptop.

His laptop was equipped with a special GEI, and when the image of the manor appeared on the screen, the GEI had already marked all the human bodies in the manor with a flashing frame. This is a combination of information from an optical lens and an infrared sensor.

The drone began to circle around. Photograph these bodies from a variety of angles. You can see faces starting to appear in the logo frames. In less than ten minutes, in an area of about 30,000 square meters, twenty or thirty people were moving in the open air in the manor, and the race, gender, age, and appearance of each person were clearly revealed. More than a dozen of them were carrying a variety of firearms, which were marked by GEI in red boxes to show the level of threat according to the type of firearm.

Shang Xin, who was watching from the sidelines, gasped fiercely. This is really black technology! How the hell is it done!?

"No matter how advanced the optical lens is, it will not be too clear to shoot people two or three kilometers away, but through multi-angle comparison and modeling with the alfalfa engine, you can make up an accurate appearance. With a clear face, the corresponding information can be analyzed with image recognition technology, which is just an application of machine intelligence. It's just that relying on the neuronal chip and GEI's fuzzy judgment, machine intelligence saves a lot of useless work......"

Xia Ming shook his head while explaining, the quasi-brother-in-law is not very sensitive to technology, and he doesn't know this set of things, whether it is the National Security Bureau, the Ministry of National Security, or the Ministry of Public Security, they all already have it.

"How do you explain this!?"

Listening to Xia Ming's tone was like talking about the old technology that can be seen everywhere, Shang Xin was very unhappy, and when he saw the image on the screen, he seemed to have grabbed a handle, and asked a little excitedly.

Originally, the human body in the building was only a vague outline drawn by infrared features, and it was impossible to directly scan the appearance like a human body in the open air.

But at this time, there was an active circle on the screen, and wherever the circle went, the brick wall of the building suddenly became transparent, and the human body inside had relatively clear lines. With the movement of the drone, the angle is constantly changing, and the faces of the people are actually drawn, and even the relevant information is read.

"This ...... Keep it secret for the time being", Xia Ming touched his nose, he couldn't tell Shang Xin, this was actually just an improvement to the terahertz imager that Liluo made, so that the scanning area of the transmitter was reduced and the power was increased, so that long-distance non-destructive penetrating scanning could be carried out.

Liluo's terahertz imager has achieved miniaturization and low cost, any engineer can think of such an improvement, but Xia Ming is not good at showing this tool, after all, this kind of thing is known to be a spy tool at a glance, and it will be further miniaturized and installed on the power armor that will be used exclusively for him in the future.

"That's him! Radama! ”

On the screen, GEI pieced together the face of a man in the building near the sea, Anson exclaimed.

Radama was talking to someone, and seeing that both of them were sitting relaxed, the other party's status should not be low.

After about half a minute, another face also spelled out, and seeing the bald head and a circle of goatee, Xia Ming's eyes jumped: Yang Yuanchang!

Yang Yuanchang plus CIA, this combination doesn't feel very good.

Xia Ming thought about it, lowered the height of the drone, until it was about a thousand meters, hovered on the backlit side of the building, and then activated a device. Under the body of the drone, a universal head rotates, and an extra cross appears in the control field of view.

Xia Ming marked the cross on the window, and an invisible laser shot out, unknowingly projecting it on the window glass.

For example, the sound of snowflakes when the TV is out of signal rings on a laptop, and then it is converted to a human voice, which is somewhat distorted, but can be heard clearly.

Shang Xin said: "I know, this is laser eavesdropping!" ”

Congratulations, you're going to answer......

Xia Ming spit out, and his attention was always on the conversation.

"If the mercenaries can't solve the problem, the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier formation is south of Mogadishu, less than 2,000 kilometers from Madagascar, and I can mobilize several teams of seals to deal with this as part of the anti-terrorist operation," Yang said. ”

Radama's English pronunciation is very lame, but he still speaks fluently: "That Xia Ming, won't it have any effect?" ”

"No, as long as you agree to meet, he will definitely come, he has no resistance to the temptation of that thing, even if he knows that it is a trap, he will come", Yang Yuanchang said in a firm tone: "Of course, you have to be sure that he is himself, not a robot stand-in." ”

"I've heard that he's very powerful, and I'm never going to meet him in person," Radama became, behaving in line with his status as a hereditary warlord, and was extremely desperate for his life.

"He has a lot of means, if you don't come forward, he won't come", Yang Yuanchang was like coaxing a child: "With me, don't worry." ”

"If you do it quickly, maybe you can solve the problem before he comes", Radama did not let go.

Hearing this conversation, Xia Ming, Anson, and Shang Xin, you look at me, I look at you, and their faces are genuinely surprised.

These two guys seem to be discussing some big conspiracy, and Xia Ming is just a small trouble that may hinder this conspiracy...... (To be continued.) )
