"We are able to accept a variety of payment methods."

Yang Yi clasped his hands together and said calmly:

"This includes, but is not limited to, minerals, farms, ranches, and so on."

Ethiopia's economic situation is not ideal.

It can even be said that most of their income comes from agriculture.

It's almost an agrarian country.

"We can use the development rights of farms and pastures as collateral?"

The Minister of Economy on the other side asked, propping up his glasses.

The price of electric satellites, for such an agricultural country.

It's a bit exorbitant.

Their GDP in the past year was only $30 billion.

But they do need electricity too.

It's not just millions of people in the Capital Region who need enough electricity.

If you want to develop industry, you can't do without electricity.

Before that, they had considered developing hydropower.

But in the end, I gave up.

The amount of investment in hydropower is huge, and it can seriously change the water situation downstream of the hydropower plant.

This is for an agrarian country.

It's unbearable.

"Yes, but we still need to evaluate the specific transfer price."

Yang Yi nodded and said.

They had a lot of discussions before they went abroad.

Because the country here is generally financially tight.

Even though they have abundant resources, they still don't have the money to do so.

It's impossible to get them to come up with hundreds of millions of dollars directly.

So they can only be exchanged for resources.

Although the payback period has become longer.

But in the long run, it's not a bad thing.

Galaxy Power itself is not all about making money.

They value influence even more.

It is with the help of energy that it has penetrated into various countries.

The West often uses proxies in its treatment of these countries.

Prop up an agent who is close to them and remove all obstacles for him.

Then, through agents, various resources within the country are obtained.

Natural resources such as oil and gas, gold mines, diamonds, etc.

as well as business, banking, corporate, and other resources.

Although this practice has gained a lot of benefits for a while.

But there are also high costs.

In the end, it may still be a bamboo basket for water.

The Dragon Kingdom is a different path.

First, we will cooperate with these countries in an all-round way.

Carry out in-depth alliances in the economic and other fields.

In this way, no matter who comes to power, it is inseparable from cooperation with the Dragon Kingdom.

Although the initial investment is relatively large, it is better to be stable and long-term.

Don't worry about the adverse effects caused by proxy backlash.

"Thank you for your generosity!"

The Minister of Economic Affairs on the other side stood up with great emotion and said.

Their economy is not strong, and there is little way to speak out internationally.

Before that, they also wanted to build a large power station in the area.

But the big energy companies pay little attention to them.

After all, they don't have much money.

The investment in a large power station can easily reach tens of billions.

It's already their GDP for a whole year.

It can be said that the cooperation plan brought by Yang Yi and them has given them a chance for development.

"But I hope that our people, when they work locally, don't encounter the same things as yesterday."

Towards the end of the meeting, Yang Yi said seriously to the Minister of Economy.

The people who attacked yesterday have been handed over to the local police department.

However, for a short period of time, the local police have not found anything.

"Of course, of course."

The Minister of Economy said with some trepidation.

Compared to Galaxy Power, which can bring hundreds of millions of dollars in investment, those people are hardly worth mentioning.

The Minister of Economy has already thought that no matter what, he must let them tell the mastermind as soon as possible.

"For specific cooperation matters, our people will negotiate with you as soon as possible."

Yang Yi is already preparing to go to the next country for cooperation negotiations.

"As for the attack, please give us an explanation as soon as possible."

Yang Yi's tone was not very good.

This matter is indeed a local problem, and it is difficult for the other party to say anything.

Return to the hotel under the Galaxy Power package.

Although the capital of Ethiopia has a population of millions, there are not many high-end hotels.

Yang Yi: They only live in a three-star standard.

It is already one of the most upscale hotels in the region.

Cheng Hanjie has already planned a trip to Gabon.

The situation in Gabon is no better than that of Ethiopia.

Gabon's population is even smaller, with less than two million people across the country.

It is not as many people as a prefecture-level city in China.

Last year, the gross national product was more than 12 billion yuan.

Although Gabonese is small and small, he has an advantage that Ethiopia does not have.

His country has a lot of oil resources.

GDP per capita is much higher.

However, these are not the key points for Yang Yi.

The point is that Gabon has an equatorial coast close to the Atlantic Ocean.

This time, the focus of their work was to acquire a piece of the equatorial coastal area in the region.

Used to prepare for the future equatorial space elevator.

Space elevator, as a necessary technology in the space age.

It must be built in the equatorial region in order to maintain its own stability.

In other regions, it is difficult for the space balance end of the space elevator to remain stationary relative to the Earth by centrifugal force.

It is necessary to rely on the attitude of the engine at all times.

But if it could be done, the daily fuel consumption of the space elevator would be an astronomical amount.

The construction of the space elevator itself is to save fuel.

In this way, it is completely worth the loss!

Looking at the equatorial region of the Earth, there are not many areas where space elevators can be built.

Most of the equatorial area is ocean.

Crossing the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic Oceans.

On land, it passes through Southeast Asia, Central Africa, and South America.

In considering the issue of the construction of a space elevator.

Zhang Xingyang's idea is to prepare for both.

The first is to vigorously promote the research of heavy offshore platforms.

If this technology is developed successfully, then it is possible for them to build a space elevator on the surface of the sea.

However, the construction of space elevators at sea, in addition to technological progress.

It also needs to be defended by a sufficiently strong navy.

The ropes and bases of the space elevator are quite fragile.

The base is better, if it can weigh tens or millions of tons, it can still withstand a wave of attacks.

It is also possible to mount some defensive weapons on the pedestal.

But ropes are very fragile.

It was impossible to install defensive weapons on the ropes.

From the ground to space, hundreds of kilometers away.

There are so many places where the enemy can attack at will.

If there is no sufficiently strong carrier battle group to guard.

It's hard to feel comfortable with such a massive project.

The second is to cooperate with countries in the equatorial region to build space elevator bases there.

A strong navy is needed to defend the sea, and a strong army is needed for a base on land.

And the strength of the Dragon Land Army goes without saying.

Gabon's capital region is small and has only one small airport.

Fortunately, Yang Yi and they did not rent a large passenger plane.

If they are renting an Airbus A320, then landing is a difficult problem.

"Gabon's security should be better, I don't know if there will be any problems before it."

Yang Yi said with some concern.

Ethiopia's northern state is at odds with the central government, and even some areas are at war.

In this case, Yang Yi was actually mentally prepared.

However, because of the oil economy, Gabon's national economic level is more than a little better than that of Ethiopia.

It's been a long time.

"They're not going to just give up."

Cheng Hanjie said expressionlessly.

Yesterday they had already received the news that the other party would definitely assassinate them along the way.

So they are ready to fight.

Compared to what you might encounter next.

The attacks of the previous days may not be anything at all.

"We have to be mentally prepared that they may use more people, more heavy weapons."

Cheng Hanjie looked out the window.

You can only see the blue sky and white clouds.

In fact, there are always two non-attacking stealth fighters escorting them out of sight.

Even if they are attacked by fighter jets, they will be able to rush to support as quickly as possible.

Of course, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble.

The two fighters did not make any announcements.

And with their stealth capabilities.

Not to mention Central Africa, where radar technology is backward, even if it is a more technologically advanced alliance region.

It doesn't have to be found either.

The two drones took off from their ports in the Red Sea.

In fact, four drones were prepared, divided into two batches.

Rotate every twelve hours to refuel.

In the event of an emergency, the second batch of drones was also able to arrive within a few hours.

Fortunately, the other side did not get mad enough to directly send fighter jets to intercept their business jet.

The business jet landed safely at the local airport, which was a little rudimentary.

As soon as they got off the plane, Yang Yi and his party had not yet gotten into the car.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Crackling, bean-like gunshots rang out from all around the airport.

A strong man with a height of 1.92 meters reacted immediately.

Remove a folding shield from your back that is larger than the door panel.

When the button is pressed, it unfolds into a shield that is more than two meters high and three meters wide.

"Two, six, protect everyone."

Cheng Hanjie closed his mask after greeting him.

It was like a mad lion rushing in the direction of the gunshots.

No. 2 is a strong man of 1.9 meters.

As for No. 6, he is a muscular man with a height of about 1.7 meters.

The two of them each held a large shield at this time.

From both directions, protect the people behind you.

The shield has several different layers of bulletproof materials.

Bulletproof ceramic, Kevlar fiber, titanium alloy plate.

Not to mention that the opponent is using intermediate power rifle rounds.

Even 12.7-mm heavy incendiary armor-piercing shells are capable of blocking one or two rounds.

In addition to No. 2 and No. 6, four more people rushed out with Cheng Hanjie.

The remaining three people began to roll call the killers who had been discovered one by one with their marksman rifles.

Whether it's their own marksmanship, or the aid of a helmet's aiming system.

All of them make it impossible for the killers who enter their shooting boundaries to escape the fate of death.

From the sights, they had already figured out that there should be a rabble on the opposite side.

Whether it's what they're wearing, or the guns they have in their hands.

It was revealed that they were just a bunch of outlaws.

If it's an ordinary person, their surprise attack may be somewhat useful.

But this time they met the professionals.

After a crackling gunshot.

There were very few people still standing on the other side.

I don't know if I was cornered, or if I was prepared.

From inside the sight, Number Four saw that the other party was carrying out an old bazooka.

Without giving the other side time to fire, No. 4 fired a grenade directly.

Rumble!

After a loud bang and a fire.

Only a flaming figure remains.

At this time, Cheng Hanjie and the four team members who rushed forward had also made progress with the other party.

The battle is basically one-sided.

The other party obviously didn't expect that someone would rush to his close in such a short time.

Engage yourself in hand-to-hand combat.

Not to mention pistols, they don't even have cold weapons in melee combat such as daggers.

Cheng Hanjie didn't kill all of them.

Instead, it directly twisted off their limbs.

Later, after checking that they had no poisons or explosives for suicide.

Only then did he take these people back with confidence.

"Of the twenty-two men, sixteen died, and six remained."

After Cheng Hanjie counted, he informed the rest of the team about the situation.

"They're basically old guys from the last century, and even bolt-action rifles.

There's an RPG bazooka though. ”

In fact, if they really let their RPG launch successfully, it may really cause some damage.

However, this is unlikely.

The reaction speed of the security team is definitely faster than the speed of the opponent's fire.

"They're like a bunch of sewer rats."

"Have been hiding and not daring to show up, or do they think that this level of attack can make us afraid."

Yang Yi said with some disdain.

Cheng Hanjie didn't say anything, but carefully examined the corpses and the captives whose hands and feet were broken.

They all seemed to be local thugs, with little on them.

However, they all have similar tattoos on their shoulders.

I don't know if they marked it.

After taking pictures with a portable camera, they will be transmitted back to China via satellite.

Let the domestic intelligence department check it out and see if there are any clues.

It wasn't until a dozen minutes after the shootout had completely stopped that someone in the area began to clean up the mess.

As a country with a population of less than two million.

Their power in all areas is limited.

When encountering such a situation, the first reaction is to hide.

After finding that there was no movement for more than ten minutes, he dared to come up and meet with the victorious side.

As for how to judge the winning side.

Very simple.

Those who are still alive are the victors.

It seems that the one who falls to the ground is the one who loses.

"You guys clean up here."

Cheng Hanjie said expressionlessly to a few fat policemen.

They have already declared that they may be in danger before they come.

So they will carry weapons for self-defense.

Local approval was also received at the time.

This is also an important reason why Cheng Hanjie is not worried about the trouble they will get into due to the use of weapons.

But even if it's not approved, it won't be good.

At most, they were asked to leave.

"Okay, okay."

The French-speaking policeman sweated profusely on his forehead.

Gabon was a Gallic colony for a long time.

So they have a lot of French speakers.

Cheng Hanjie: They can communicate directly without the help of a translator.

The policeman looked at the group in front of him with some palpitations.

None of them moved, though.

But just look at the miserable condition of these people with spears on the ground.

Considering that, the total firefight lasted less than three minutes.

This is a group of ruthless people! (End of chapter)
