"Oh yeah, Horn of Africa, here we come." Huang Qiong cheered as the plane landed smoothly.
Although there are lights on both sides of the runway, under the round moon, you can see that this place is desolate enough.
Although it is not a desert, as far as the eye can see, there are withered pastures and sparse trees. There are also wild animals wandering in the distance.
The plane stopped and the gangway was lowered. A group of people got off the plane.
I found that there is only one three-story building here, so it should be the dispatching tower.
There is also a Boeing 737 cargo plane parked on the tarmac next to it. Three mine-resistant and anti-ambush off-road vehicles are already waiting here. These are the vehicles of the Hong Kong Island security team that came here in advance. One is used to pull
This nineteen-person team has one lead vehicle and one rear vehicle.
In addition, there was a convoy of three vehicles parked not far away.
An old French man in his fifties, with several people, and the captain of the Hong Kong Island Security Company were here to greet them.
Huang Ying walked over first, accompanying the liar, and shook hands with several people.
"It's Li Zhe, right? I have a very good personal relationship with Mr. Chen," Huang Ying said to the security captain.
"It's me, hello Miss Huang. Mr. Chen specially asked us to serve you and your friends well. Everything has been arranged here, so you can rest assured."
Li Zhe turned around and introduced: "This is Mr. Adrian, the butler of the owner of the manor."
"Hello, Mr. Adrian." Huang Ying took the initiative to extend her hand.
According to French etiquette, generally when shaking hands, a woman reaches out to a man first, an elder reaches out to a young man first, and a superior reaches out to a subordinate first.
Huang Ying is both a woman and a guest, so it is appropriate for her to reach out first.
"Hello, beautiful lady, on behalf of Mr. Francis, I welcome you and your friends."
Huang Ying introduced: "This is Mr. Du Pianpian, the legal representative of the company that purchased the manor this time. He is also the person in charge of this delegation."
The crook came up to Adrian to shake his hand.
After the group exchanged pleasantries, they agreed to stay at the manor's villa first and then settle in.
At noon, Mr. Francis, the owner of the manor, will arrange a luncheon to welcome friends from the East who come from afar.
After the luncheon, we will take a short break and the two sides will start negotiations in the afternoon.
A motorcade left the simple airport and drove onto a dirt road. The road conditions here were very poor and the car was very bumpy. The motorcade passed through woods and grass, but fortunately it didn't take long to reach the seaside.
Everyone was surprised to find that this fifty square kilometers of land was actually a long strip. It was a good land with dense vegetation on the coast. A few kilometers away inland was a desolate grassland.
Soon we arrived at our destination. There was a small port in front of us, and there was a huge black building next to it, which should be the dock.
Next to the shipyard, there is a small town with forty or fifty buildings. Looking at these nineteenth-century European-style buildings, it feels like being in a Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
There is a castle built on a small hill on the south side of the town.
Li Zhe accompanied Sun Xing, Liar, Huang Ying, Lin Miao and others in a car.
Li Zhe introduced: "This castle is quite old. It was built in 1850. The owner of the manor lives here. We also stay here. The scenery here is beautiful, and you can see the sea and beach when you open the window in the morning.
"
The liar looked at the surrounding situation and said: "Mr. Li, I feel that this place is irregular. If we want to buy some more plots and make the land more regular, can it be achieved?"
Li Zhe said: "In such a war-torn country, land is very worthless. If you want to buy up the surrounding area, it is too late for their government to be happy. Everyone wants their broken land. Their government is eager to sell it.
Money is used to buy arms. We have learned about this manor carefully. The reason why the land is irregular is that only the coastal areas have dense vegetation, and the land inside is semi-desert grassland. The French do not know how to use it.
Want it."
Only then did everyone understand that the irregularity was due to the fact that the French only picked good plots of land and took away the best land on the seaside. They were really evil profiteers.
"Mr. Li, how is the safety here? After we buy this place, will the safety be guaranteed?"
"We are only responsible for your security during this negotiation. If you buy this land, I suggest you organize your own security team. After all, although this is federal land, this is the border, and here are guns
There is flooding, but we still need to pay attention to public security."
Li Zhe thought for a while and then said: "You don't have to worry too much. There is a desert here away from the coastline. The nearest tribe is a camel breeder. It is more than a hundred kilometers away from here. There are no people, and there is usually nothing."
Things will naturally not be too much trouble."
"The law here allows you to freely hold weapons. Even if you are flying fighter jets here, no one will care about you. As long as you bribe local officials, they will turn a blind eye."
"Many estate owners in Western countries here have private mercenaries. They have armored vehicles, helicopters and so on. You can recruit some veterans from the country, and you can easily buy weapons here. If you need it,
I can help you contact some arms dealers."
The liar was shocked that he could still play like this.
But then I thought about it, yes, this is the poorest and most chaotic place in Africa.
Developed countries have various privileges here, which is understandable.
It is normal for international security companies to have contacts with arms dealers. Their business often requires them to purchase weapons in mission areas. After all, many countries and regions prohibit them from bringing weapons into the country. They can only purchase weapons locally.
The convoy passed through the seaside town and went up the mountain road. The road in the town was an asphalt road in good condition, and the winding mountain road was also an asphalt road of good quality. Soon they arrived at the gate of the castle.
Lin Miao put down the car window and stretched out his head to look longingly.
Under the moonlight, this castle looks so majestic. It has a huge stone base and a Gothic building. The walls are covered with moss, and it looks very vicissitudes of life.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After entering the gate, the yard inside is very large. It is a platform with a length of 300 meters and a width of 70 to 80 meters.
The castle is built on a platform. On the north side are the entrance gates, towers, and some high-rise buildings. On the west and south sides are three-story Gothic buildings. On the east side are stone railings. Standing here, you can overlook the sea.
The platform is surrounded by cliffs of 30 to 40 meters on all sides. Only the north side has a two-lane asphalt road that can enter.
The motorcade stopped in the square. Everyone got out of the car, and Sun Xing and others turned around and looked east.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the Indian Ocean is sparkling. Holding on to the railing, you can see a cliff more than thirty meters high below. The waves are crashing on the shore below, rolling up thousands of piles of snow. The scenery is very spectacular.
Entering the castle, I felt very safe.
The terrain here is so dangerous. As long as you hold the road up the mountain, the black shadmen can't attack it with the three-piece equipment of AK47, flip-flops, and swimming trunks.
The liar has been traveling all over the country to purchase supplies for Yang Fan in the past two years. One look at this castle and you can tell that this manor will not be too cheap. Among Westerners, most of the people who play castles are nobles. I guess there has been some negotiation.
From the communication on WeChat, the scammer felt that Fanzi actually wanted to buy a land with a port. It didn't matter if the conditions were not good. He didn't seem to want to spend too much money.
The main reason why I chose this place is that it is a forgotten corner of the world.
No one is paying attention. It is very convenient to do something here.
However, the situation here is better than expected. The town is clean and tidy, with complete infrastructure and a medium-sized enclosed dock and ship repair yard.
Plus a 19th century castle. Fifty square kilometers of fertile land.
The land of the manor is the only sacred land in the desert here.
There is also a small airport that can take off and land private planes. It is no problem to go on a yacht at the small pier.
Under these conditions, the price is so cheap.
