This was followed by a simple pickup truck handover ceremony.

This time, the Tanzanian official purchased a total of 100 pickup trucks from the consortium, as a variety of work vehicles for Tanzanian official agencies, the purchase is not too much, but it is also a relatively good start, because this is the first time that the Red Star pickup truck as a civilian car has really gone abroad.

In fact, this deal, for both the Red Star Consortium and Tanzania, is far more symbolic than practical.

For Tanzania, because of the previous rebellion, which led to a deep binding with the country, and a very close relationship with the Red Star Consortium, coupled with the United States defines vehicles as military supplies, now Tanzania is simply unable to buy American-made cars from formal channels, so under the influence of a variety of circumstances, they choose to buy from the Red Star Consortium, on the one hand, to show their closeness to the Red Star Consortium and the country, and on the other hand, to show their attitude of not relying on the United States.

The reason why I bought so little, in essence, is because Tanzania doesn't trust this kind of pickup truck very much, so it makes sense to buy less and try it with one use.

For the Red Star Consortium, the order for a hundred pickup trucks is not worth mentioning at all, but the meaning of this order is very important, so Wang Ye and Kikwete will personally come to hold this simple handover ceremony, because both sides know it, this is the attitude of allies.

"The car went well!"

"I'm already looking forward to it!"

In the end, Wang Ye and Kikwete shook hands vigorously, leaving relevant pictures and videos, and the handover ceremony was over.

Next, the consortium and Tanzanian officials will use these materials together to carry out a wide range of publicity on this deal, not only in Tanzania, but also in the whole of Africa, and this is what Wang Ye is looking forward to, because this kind of publicity will inevitably bring two impacts.

First, the military use of pickup trucks is unquestionable.

Coupled with the contact between North Africa and Pakistan in terms of faith, the news spreads quickly, so soon the North African region will know that the application of pickup trucks in the army, so that the two-pronged propaganda and war reports will soon spread the news related to pickup trucks throughout Africa, and then the sales of pickup trucks in Africa will inevitably open quickly and occupy the relevant market.

The second aspect is the field of civilian automobiles.

In the past, Volkswagen, as the first foreign brand introduced by domestic joint ventures, had a great impact on the domestic automobile market, and the most critical problem was that the official cars were Volkswagen, which led to the "envy" and "learning" of the people, and directly promoted the sales of Volkswagen in China.

To give a simple example, not to mention the 90s, in the first two decades of the new century, ordinary families drove a Volkswagen Passat or Volkswagen Magotan is a very decent thing, and those who are admitted to the civil service, the vast majority of them will also choose Volkswagen to travel, and families with a slightly worse economy will also choose Volkswagen's Jetta or Bora and other cheap models.

The fundamental reason is that because these cars used to be official cars, you drive such a car on the road, passers-by and others can't figure out your details, which is a kind of face.

If the Volkswagen brand is not obvious enough, then take Volkswagen's high-end brand Audi as an example, it is even more obvious, many people's "dream car" is an Audi A6, this car is definitely not cheap if it is cheap, but to say how expensive it is actually not how expensive, in the final analysis, the reason is that the former leading cadres have opened A6, if they also open A6, it will meet the needs of a certain face, this is sales.

And Wang Ye hopes to achieve this effect in Tanzania.

If Tanzania's official vehicles can be replaced with the products of the consortium in the future, within ten years, it will form a trend in the entire country of Tanzania, that is, it is more face-saving to drive a car of the Red Star brand, no matter whether this kind of car is expensive or cheap, it is always face-saving to drive this kind of car, and the recognition of the people is very high.

By extension, this can be done throughout Africa.

Of course, it's not that the black brothers in Africa don't know what cars like Porsche, Cadillac, Land Rover, Lexus, Maserati and the like are more advanced, but you can't afford them, and it's useless to say anything.

"I feel like it won't be long before we're going to increase our orders!"

"This pickup truck, not bad! Very good! ”

After the handover ceremony, the Tanzanian staff got into the car and drove the pickup trucks away with a bang, while Kikwete couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Of course, Kikwete is not flattering Wang Ye, but he really knows that for a poor, backward, and wealthy country, the most important thing is the means of production, and it is obvious that pickup trucks meet this positioning, and in the past, the vast majority of Tanzanian cars were second-hand cars purchased from the international market, and then after simple modifications, they were used to pull people and goods, and became part of the Tanzanian economy.

But in the future, this situation will change because of the existence of the Red Star Consortium.

"I'm looking forward to that day."

"Because this is not just a business for the Red Star Consortium, but also an honor."

"I hope that in the fertile and dark land of Africa, Mercedes-Benz Red Star cars can be seen everywhere, carrying and leading this land out of backwardness and poverty to development and prosperity."

Regarding Wang Ye's statement, Kikwete's eyes were shining, and he nodded vigorously and said:

"I hope that day will come when I am alive."

"In this way, even if I die, I won't feel afraid."

Hearing Kikwete say this, Wang Ye couldn't help laughing, patted Kikwete on the shoulder, and then said:

"My friend, you're so young."

"I'll tell you a truth, when you choose the right truth, when everyone has a common goal, the speed of development will be beyond imagination, the country will change with each passing day, and even one day, maybe you will feel strange, believe me, that day will come soon."

"Ten years! Mark my words now, and in ten years' time, we'll know the answer! ”

With the sound of Wang Ye speaking, Kikwete was stunned and surprised on his face, but it was more of anticipation, and finally he nodded with a smile and said:

"Friend, the long-term vision of the past is amazing."

"I hope that this time your prediction is still so accurate, then let's look forward to that day in ten years! Hahaha! ”

At the same time, while Wang Ye was chatting with Kikwete, more cargo was unloaded from the ship.

Including domestic deliveries to Tanzania of small industrial equipment, as well as a large number of Iron Fist Security Company equipment, such as 300 pickup trucks, 100 six-wheeled all-terrain assault vehicles, a large number of various weapons and equipment, especially ammunition of various models and calibers, the amount is very staggering, just in case.

After all, now that the consortium and the ammunition factory have reached a strategic cooperation, the ammunition production capacity has soared, and these ammunition drugs are cheap and cheap, so naturally there is no need to be stingy.

"Okay friend, I have to go back, do you want to go with me?"

"The rest of the work can be left to the staff of each department, shouldn't you need to direct it personally?"

"It's not early, and if we delay any longer, it may be dark on the road, which is an important factor of insecurity, so let's go together!"

In the end, Kikwete said this to Wang Ye, Wang Ye nodded and said:

"Of course, let's go together!"

Anyway, Wang Ye came over mainly to participate in the delivery ceremony, and now that the delivery has been completed, there is naturally no need to guard it anymore, just when the two were talking, suddenly a staff member trotted over.

"Report! BREAKING NEWS! ”

I saw that the staff member ran over, panting and saying to Kikwete, Kikwete looked at Wang Ye next to him, and said without thinking:

"Just say it!"

Hearing Kikwete say this, the staff member hurriedly said:

"Less than an hour ago, an American stronghold in downtown Cairo, Egypt, was hit by a car bomb, killing more than a hundred people and injuring four or five hundred."

"Among them, more than fifty Americans died."

"Then there was a group called the Resistance Front that claimed responsibility for the incident, and they urged the Americans to evacuate Egypt and stop sending troops to Africa, otherwise there will be more and more attacks like this in the future."

"According to the news description, senior Hexagonal personnel are coming, and relevant U.S. personnel in Egypt are contacting Egyptian officials to discuss plans to hunt down and clear these terrorists."

"At the same time, the Hexagoon announced another airstrike on the Darfur region in western Sudan, while announcing that in two days, the first ground attack would be launched."

"In addition, the Akandi Restoration Congress issued a 'Letter to African Compatriots.'"

"They claim that this car bomb attack has no direct or indirect relationship with them, and they emphasize once again that their target is unwavering Americans, not African compatriots, and they strongly oppose this kind of military action that hurts innocent compatriots, and they express their great disdain for such behavior."

As soon as the staff's voice fell, Wang Ye and Kikwete, as well as the other Tanzania and Red Star Consortium staff around them, all had an expression of amazement of "long insight".

In the end, Wang Ye and Kikwete glanced at each other, and Kikwete said in a low voice:

"I guess this must have something to do with Gaddaf."

"This capricious vile villain!"

Kikwete has no problem scolding Gaddafi at all, after all, the war in Tanzania a few years ago, that is, the war with Uganda, is directly related to Gaddaf.

At the same time, Wang Ye also deeply agreed with Kikwete's statement, nodded and sighed and said:

"It's inevitable, it seems that he is really ready to 'make a big deal'!"

"The whole North African region is going to be in chaos."

Facing Wang Ye's emotion, Kikwete looked worried, sighed and said:

"My friend, when will the second phase of Iron Fist Security's plan begin?"

"I'm now eagerly looking forward to it."

The second phase of Kikwete's plan is actually the expansion plan of Iron Fist Security.

At present, the Iron Fist Security Company has a total of 5,000 instructors, 20,000 soldiers, plus other staff, a total of almost 26,000 people, and this is only the first stage of the development of the Iron Fist Security Company, and the number of follow-up soldiers will continue to expand, according to the target plan, it is increased to 50,000.

By that time, the size of Iron Fist Security will reach a staggering 60,000 people.

In addition to the support personnel responsible for commercial and support personnel, the direct combat force will include eight composite brigade-sized regular army units, as well as a number of special mobile units and special service task teams, which will cover a variety of combat missions, including regional warfare, special operations, and regional intervention.

And Kikwete's meaning is very simple, North Africa will soon be chaotic, war is about to break out, and although Tanzania belongs to the East African region, but it is not far from North Africa, the war will easily spread, if the security company is strong enough, then according to the coordinated defense contract, the security company will also protect Tanzania's security to a certain extent.

"If you want to hurry, you can't reach it! Kikwete, don't be in such a hurry, steady! ”

"The situation is not so bad yet"

In the end, Wang Ye said this, and Kikwete, who knew the truth well, could only sigh, and then the two got into the car and left surrounded by the convoy.

More than three hours later.

As soon as Wang Ye returned to the office, a staff member reported:

"Factory director, just now, the American named Juliet called, hoping to meet with you."

"And this time, she said that she had come directly and would arrive at our door soon, which she said was more time-saving and efficient."

Hearing the staff say this, Wang Ye couldn't help but laugh and said:

"It's funny, is this pestering me?"

"I'm so sure I'll see her? And just ran over? ”

"Did she say what she was going to do?"

Faced with Wang Ye's question, the staff member shook his head and said:

"No, it's just that the content needs to be kept secret."

"For the sake of safety, we can only talk to each other!"

Then the office fell silent, Wang Ye sat on the chair and frowned and thought, to be honest, this time he really couldn't figure out what this Juliet wanted to do.

It stands to reason that the Americans have already decided to send their own troops, so there is no reason to contact the Iron Fist Security Company again, after all, the reason why the Americans want to roll up their sleeves and get on the horse in person is because they can't swallow this breath, they don't want to lose this person internationally, and they don't want to be taken care of by themselves? So it's impossible for them to change their minds halfway.

"How's our troop doing? Where have you got? ”

In the next second, Wang Ye suddenly raised his head and asked the staff, in Wang Ye's opinion, the purpose of Juliet's coming is definitely not to discuss the matter of sending troops with an iron fist, because this matter is basically in the past, as for the previous cooperation project, it is even more impossible, now it is an eventful season, and the attitude of the Americans is obvious, that is, they are "strong" enough, and the cooperation with the consortium is "charity" rather than "request", so it is impossible to bow their heads and come again at this time.

Then these possibilities are ruled out, and all that remains is the rescue of the Iron Fist security forces.

But Wang Ye was not too anxious, because a force of 5,000 people, even if there were vehicles to ride, in a place like Africa where the infrastructure was a piece of, the speed could not be too fast, so the Iron Fist troops definitely did not arrive in the war zone, so there was no problem of losing and seriously damaged in the battle.

"Still in Uganda, without stopping, there are at least twenty hours left before the war zone."

"And there was nothing wrong, we just got the message."

Hearing Wang Ye say this, the staff knew what Wang Ye was worried about, so they quickly explained, and Wang Ye nodded and frowned and said:

"Could it be that the United States got the news that all those Marines of theirs are dead?"

"Don't need our support anymore? So they're ready to break the contract? ”

"Tsk! It's impossible! ”

Faced with Wang Ye's statement, the staff member nodded and said:

"I don't rule out this possibility, fortunately, the factory director is tough enough to directly ask them to pay the full amount, and then order the troops to pull out, otherwise we will run away in vain!"

"Americans really don't believe in their words!"

Just when the two of them sighed with emotion, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in!"

With Wang Ye's voice, the door of the office was pushed open, and another staff member came in and said:

"Director, the American Juliet has arrived outside the main gate of our base, and I have applied to see you."

"How do we reply? Let them in? ”

Hearing this staff member say this, Wang Ye snorted coldly and said:

"Point a gun at them and let Juliet walk in on her own."

"Then put a cloth bag on her head, handcuff her, put duct tape on her mouth, and drive her in, a little rude and savage, and you have to let her know that we don't come and go here as soon as we want."

"After all, in the past, they were guests, and this time, they were uninvited."

In the face of Wang Ye's order, it was obvious that the two staff members in the office showed eager expressions, and hurriedly replied:

"Yes!"

The two of them left together.

Then, about ten minutes later, the staff came over again to report that Juliet had brought it, and Wang Ye stood up and walked to the conversation room.

As soon as he pushed the door open, Wang Ye almost couldn't help laughing.

I saw that Juliet had a black cloth bag on her head, and the mouth of the cloth bag was also tied to her slender neck with a hemp rope, which was relatively loosely tied to her slender neck, and at the same time, her hands were handcuffed, raised above her head, and finally fixed above the high chair back, the posture looked a little weird, and at the same time, under the squeezing of her arms, her chest was extraordinarily tall and towering, and her red hair was scattered from the pocket, and the whole person looked like a hostage.

"Tut-tut!"

Wang Ye walked over, spared her around, stood behind her and said in a loud voice:

"Miss Juliet? It's supposed to be you, right? It's a pity I can't see your face. ”

"However, I must stress to you that our Iron Fist Security Company base is a military zone, and it is quite dangerous for you to bring weapons uninvited."

"This time, I'm for the sake of our acquaintance, otherwise, you will be beaten into a sieve, and then directly blown up to the sky, of course, you can also gamble, to see if I will be afraid to do it because you are an American, you can give it a try, to be honest, I am also very curious!"

After finishing speaking, the black cloth bag was still quiet and unresponsive, Wang Ye was stunned for a moment, turned his head and said to the staff next to him:

"Why didn't she speak?"

The staff member next to him was obviously trying to hold back a smile, and at the same time said:

"Report! She's got duct tape on her mouth! ”

At that moment, Wang Ye remembered that he had given this order just now, waved his hand and said:

"Pull up the pockets in half!"

Hearing Wang Ye's order, the staff member was very sensible, walked over and untied the rope around Juliet's neck, and then pulled up half of the pocket, only the position of the mouth was exposed, and sure enough, a piece of black tape was pasted.

"Brush!"

Wang Ye stepped forward and ripped off the tape from Juliet's mouth, and then the pocket fell again, completely covering her head, and at the same time heard Juliet say:

"Mr. Wang Ye, I thought we were already friends! It's not polite for you to treat your friends like that! ”

"And I came this time, but I took the initiative to send you business, don't you want to know, what kind of business I brought? Or are you going to just kick me out? ”

Hearing Juliet say this, Wang Ye suddenly frowned slightly, and then said with a smile:

"I'll give you a minute."

As soon as Wang Ye's voice fell, this time Juliet didn't talk nonsense, because through several contacts, she already had a certain understanding of Wang Ye's character, and hurriedly said:

"The Hexagon's military operation against the Akandi Restoration Congress has begun."

"But because our office in Cairo, Egypt, was attacked by a car bomb, our military operations need to be accelerated."

"It's a pity that strategic projection takes a cycle, and in Sudan, we lack military bases."

"This has also led to a further slowdown in our movements."

"In order to increase the speed of action, the Hexagonal Bureau sent me to contact the Iron Fist Security Company represented by Mr. Wang Ye, hoping to purchase a batch of materials from you, including vehicles, various grenade weapons, and a large amount of ammunition."

"After all, as far as we know, a ship just arrived at the port today, carrying a large amount of supplies"

Hearing this, Wang Ye finally came to his senses.

Because of the suddenness of the incident, Lao Mei did not have a military base in Sudan, and did not lease it to the airport, so their soldiers, weapons and ammunition and other materials could only be transported from Europe to Egypt, and then from Egypt to Sudan by land or helicopter, the whole cycle was relatively long and expensive.

In this way, coupled with the intelligence of the arrival of Iron Fist materials in Hong Kong, they finally adopted such a plan!

As for how they knew that the Iron Fist materials had arrived in Hong Kong, this Wang Ye didn't have to think about it to know that although the war in Tanzania had ended and the country had been completely controlled, it was definitely impossible to put an end to the existence of some intelligence personnel, and the scale of the ship's arrival in the port was so large, without deliberately concealing it, the news was easy to leak.

"I'm a businessman and I love dollars."

"As long as there are enough dollars, there is nothing that cannot be traded!"

In the end, Wang Ye stood behind Juliet and said in a loud voice.
