Chapter 1247: Africa again
Although and the Caribbean warm sunshine, Africa at this time of the season is also sunshine, but let Zhuang Rui feel a trace of heat, in front of the air in the hot sun, seems to become all twisted up.
The second time he stepped on the land of Africa, Zhuang Rui heart more than a little uncertainty, standing in this not big military airport, looking at the black soldiers standing in the distance with loaded guns, Zhuang Rui seems to smell the African earth that kind of suppression of wildness.
“Brother Zhuang, your flying in the sky is not as fast as our swimming in the sea!”
Zhuang Rui just stood firm on the African earth, Li Zhen jumped down from an off-road vehicle, he arrived at the Gulf of Guinea for three days already, and had been waiting for Zhuang Rui’s arrival.
“You kid, you still really want to be a captain?”
Zhuang Rui forcefully patted Li Zhen’s shoulder, before coming he had already contacted Li Zhen through satellite phone, the reason why he would arrive at the airport was to follow the airplane to return to Zhuang Rui’s Xuan Rui Island located in the Caribbean Sea.
“Hehe, I’m more interested in remodeling an island, this is something Fei Zi can’t do.”
Li Zhen proudly squeezed his eyes at Peng Fei beside Zhuang Rui, then slightly moved his body to the side to let out a person behind him, “Brother Zhuang, this is our country’s General Commander Lai Shaohua who is on a military visit in Central Africa.”
“Xiao Zhuang, it’s doubly nice to see one of our own in a foreign country!”
This Chief Commander of the naval fleet was wearing a flowery T-shirt that was most common in Africa, his face was tanned due to the sun, and he looked no more than in his early forties, which should be considered as a young and strong officer in the country.
“Commander-in-Chief Lai, I’m really sorry, how can I let you come to greet me personally!”
For this naval officer who was dressed a bit unorthodoxly, Zhuang Rui didn’t dare to have the slightest bit of slackness, and hurriedly stretched out his hands and Chief Commander Li nestled tightly together.
Before he came, when he talked to Ouyang Lei on the phone, he learned that this Chief Lai is only forty-four years old this year, he is already a Rear Admiral rank, and he belongs to the absolute strength faction in the naval system.
And Lai Shaohua himself is from the red family in the country, his sister is the wife of Song Jun, and the Song family has a thousand relations, which is also the main reason why he can be the main reason for this China-Africa military visit.
And the Song family grandfather and Zhuang Rui’s grandfather, in the war years on the life of friendship, and is the establishment of the country’s political views are also very similar, can be described as iron ally, so in addition to Zhuang Rui to sit in the town is more appropriate, other people are not really put in the eyes of Li Shaohua.
Li Shaohua learned a lot of Zhuang Rui’s things from Song Jun’s mouth, after sizing up Zhuang Rui, waved his hand and said, “Call what commander-in-chief, call big brother on the line, go, get on the car, live in the barracks tonight, tomorrow I’ll take you to familiarize yourself with the situation.”
“Hey hey, big brother Lai, that little brother will rely on you to take care of.”
Zhuang Rui that is immediately hit the snake with a stick, although a few families have friendship, but that is not their own, want to let others take care of their own, that still depends on their own skills.
Before getting into the car, Zhuang Rui turned back and said to Ding Hao who got off the plane together, “Old Ding, you guys just work hard and return to the Caribbean right after fueling up! En, all things are subject to Li Zhen’s arrangements.”
Just leaving Hao Long and five security personnel on the island, Zhuang Rui was still a little uneasy, after all, his wife and children were there, in case something happened, it was really a scream!
Li Zhen raised his eyebrows and said, “Brother Zhuang, don’t worry! I promise to build that stronger than Bin Laden’s base.”
“Alright, after you go, let your Sister Xuan Bing return to her country! I’m always uneasy in my heart without being there.”
Zhuang Rui waved his hand and returned to the reinforced SUV, but it was Lai Shaohua who was listening to some puzzlement, “Could it be that this young man in front of him wants to build a military base overseas?”
The two SUVs drove out of the airport one after the other, Li Shaohua looked at Zhuang Rui and asked, “Xiao Zhuang, is there anything I can do to help?”
Zhuang Rui shook his head at the words and said, “Brother Lai, thanks, nothing much, it’s just that I bought a small island abroad and wanted to install some surveillance facilities on it, so I asked Li Zhen to do it.”
Missiles and guns and so on, Zhuang Rui does not dare to give Li Shaohua, these things are taboo in the country, it is not possible that this Mr. Li will mention that at some time in the high level, Zhuang Rui will have to eat it all.
And Zhuang Rui first went to South Africa compared to here, although belongs to the same African land, but and South Africa is full of barren land and many different gold mines, cross-country car since driving out of the airport, has been in the jungle road shuttling, on both sides of the dense woods everywhere.
Arriving here, Zhuang Rui had the feeling of being back in the Burmese rainforest, but the temperature here was a bit warmer, and due to its proximity to the sea, the hot air was laced with the smell of the sea breeze.
“That airport just now belongs to the Congo, now it’s entering Togo, there’s still half an hour to go before we reach the harbor.”
After Lai Shaohua’s introduction, Zhuang Rui realized that, dare I say, just now has crossed two countries, but not even a boundary monument, it looks like the African people want to leave the country is not necessary to apply for a passport.
More than half an hour later, the two SUVs came to the harbor of the Gulf of Guinea, after getting off the car, a few people immediately got on a speedboat, and sailed to the distant ocean.
After seeing the three battleships and his own Xuan Rui ship, Zhuang Rui realized, dare Li Shaohua said the military camp, is in the battleships.
Zhuang Rui asked aloud amidst the roar of the speedboat’s motor, “Brother Lai, our company’s office, is it also on a ship?”
Although Zhuang Rui is not seasick, but let him live on the ship for two months, Zhuang Rui is a bit unbearable, even if his “Xuan Rui ship” is a cruise ship modified, but also very lack of entertainment life.
“No, the place where you work is still more than a hundred kilometers away from here, I’ll have someone send you there tomorrow.”
Chief Commander Li’s words made Zhuang Rui relieved, although living here was safe, it was too boring, in comparison, it was better to walk around in Africa, then again, the African grassland was the largest and most expansive place in the world.
“Ga …… Ga Ga!”
When the speedboat sailed past the Xuan Rui ship, an eagle cry sounded from the ship, followed by a shadow looming over the speedboat.
Zhuang Rui looked up at the golden eagle and said with a smile, “Brother Lai, I think …… you all better go to my ship as guests!”
“Good, this boat of yours has been here for three days, I haven’t been up there yet, I heard that you brought a golden eagle and gorilla with you, you’re much more playful than the Ouyang family’s oldest, haha ……”
Lai Shaohua laughed and joked with Zhuang Rui, far away in China, Ouyang’s fourth brother was sneezing for no reason, that that playboy’s reputation in the ears of his peers was loud and clear.
“Oh, boss, you can’t keep fooling me like this! You said you came to the Atlantic Ocean to search for treasures, how come you stopped at this place ah? And those warships, the gun barrels are pointed at us!”
As soon as Zhuang Rui got on board, the bearded ship greeted him with a disgruntled expression, but it’s not his fault, anyone who is sandwiched between several heavily armed warships, I’m afraid that his heart won’t be at peace.
“Captain Clyde ……”
“Ow …… ow ow ……”
Before Zhuang Rui’s words fell, a tall figure suddenly squeezed over from the side of the bearded captain, but also intentionally or unintentionally pouted his buttocks, and Clyde, whose figure was also quite sturdy, immediately stumbled and sat on the ground.
“What …… is this? A big …… gorilla?”
Although just now the mouth also mentioned King Kong, but when King Kong came to the front, Lai Shaohua was also nervous, and the several guards around him even took out their guns and aimed them at King Kong.
“King Kong, stop it, Brother Lai, don’t shoot, King Kong’s character is very supple.”
Zhuang Rui pulled King Kong, he was afraid that this guy going to embrace with Lai Shaohua would cause a misunderstanding, that being said, King Kong’s intimacy was not something everyone could afford.
Looking at Zhuang Rui and King Kong engaging in a man-to-man embrace, Li Shaohua pushed away the guard who was blocking his way and said, “Xiao Zhuang, let me embrace him as well.”
Li Shaohua’s words made Zhuang Rui immediately impressed with him, knowing that anyone who saw King Kong for the first time was invariably scared out of their wits, not to mention hugging, even if King Kong grinned at him, it could scare the seven souls out of him.
After some hugging with King Kong, Li Shaohua laughed out loud, “Xiao Zhuang, this is the best way to test a man’s courage! You guys, go and have a hug with it as well.”
In fact, dare and King Kong close contact, because Li Shaohua knows, although the gorilla looks huge and ugly, in fact, their character, but as Zhuang Rui said, very meek and timid.
Just Li Shaohua did not know, King Kong is the gorilla in the exception, this guy is not like the Congo primitive forest of those vegetarian lowland gorillas, it is from birth to grow up, do not know to eat into the stomach of how many animals.
Li Shaohua’s guards, also bitter face and King Kong embraced, which makes King Kong exceptionally happy, actually pulling a small warrior, pointing to take him to visit Xuan Rui number to.
After getting Lai Shaohua’s consent, that dude looked like his chrysanthemums had been exploded, and followed behind King Kong with a bitter face, watching those crew members laugh.
Only after King Kong left, Zhuang Rui then looked at Clyde and introduced Li Shaohua to him, ”Captain Clyde, this is the commander of those warships, they are here to protect us, you don’t need to worry. By the way, I have surveyed several shipwreck sites at the Atlantic Ocean, when I’m done with this part, we can proceed with marine salvage.”
Zhuang Rui this was not drawing a free pie for Clyde, in this ocean, there were indeed quite a few shipwrecks from the last century that existed.
Anyway, after coming here, Zhuang Rui was planning to wait until the return voyage to delay a few days of work to salvage some valuable shipwrecks.
