Chapter 1855 Cape Town
The plane took off again, and Li Zitao felt really relieved.
Fortunately, he was well prepared and knew that something would go wrong during the transfer in Japan, so he asked Wang Kui to send someone outside the airport to intercept him first.
Otherwise, the fun this time would be really great.
"You seem relieved?" Looking at the dark night outside the window, Mary looked at him with a pointed smile.
"Ha, how is that possible!" Li Zitao turned over, hugged his wife and said calmly: "It's late at night, go to bed quickly! There will be no time to have a good rest in the next few days."
Seeing how he was pretending to be dead, Mary patted him angrily and funnyly, and then she huddled in his arms and fell asleep obediently.
…
Noon the next day, Cape Town International Airport.
This is a brand new airport that was just completed in 1954, that is, 7 years ago.
It has become South Africa's largest and busiest transit hub.
There are about 20 airlines providing services here, including Boeing.
"Boss, welcome to Cape Town."
"Um."
After shaking hands with the other party, Li Zitao asked about their work progress.
“Whether it’s treatment, life or safety, the company has comprehensive arrangements!”
As the largest, most staffed and most powerful branch of SHIELD in the world, South Africa and West Africa can be said to be their own territory.
While talking, two H3s also drove out of the cabin.
There are two military-style Wranglers at the front and rear, and the armrest is equipped with a battlefield harvester independently developed by Aegis and an M60 general-purpose machine gun.
Since it was officially put into production and named the M60 general-purpose machine gun, it has attracted attention and love from all over the world.
So far, 200,000 M60 series have been produced and sold in more than 30 countries.
Of course, according to official statistics, only more than 50,000 M60s are produced in North America, and the rest are all produced by authorized factories in various places.
Li Zitao is also happy about this. Even among the more than 50,000 cartridges produced locally, 30,000 cartridges are marked with the Hanks factory code in West Africa.
The legal person of the factory is a British African.
The relationship behind it is even more complicated. In fact, they are all agents found by SHIELD.
There are a total of twelve or three agents, all interconnected, with backgrounds covering more than 20 countries. It is undoubtedly a fantasy to rely on these people to dig out the Aegis.
If there is a problem, go to the agent. The weapons produced by Hanks Factory killed people. What does it have to do with my Aegis?
"BOSS, it's time to go."
The vehicle drove towards the city of Cape Town, where there were stalls selling guns everywhere on the roadside in the suburbs.
Various weapons were spread out on rags, bullets were piled into a hill, and children with AKs on their chests were holding cigarettes in their mouths, patrolling their country in a majestic manner. ’
"How to sell these weapons?"
"It's 20 US dollars per pound and comes with 20 rounds of ammunition."
Damn it, really? They sell it by the pound. I’ve learned a lot.
Seeing Li Zitao raise the car window, the kid selling the gun didn't want to lose this big customer, so he quickly shouted: "18 US dollars, comes with 50 rounds of ammunition, no one is cheaper than this."
It's really cheap. Whether it works or not depends on your luck.
It was full of old antiques that had been eliminated from World War II. They had everything, and bullets of various calibers were mixed together and piled there.
The children carrying AKs looked around restlessly. If they hadn't been pointed at by two M60s, they might have rushed into the car and started looting.
Taking out a US dollar knife and throwing it to the other party, Li Zitao motioned to the driver to drive.
What is the use of these rags? He just asked casually out of curiosity.
"This is the current situation in Africa. Tribes divide the territory and rule. Except for the elderly, children, men and women are all trained as warriors.
Tribes wage wars every day to compete for population, property, and resources. "
Mary was heartbroken and helpless, but she also knew that the current situation could not be changed by one person or overnight.
The situation in Africa is too complex. There are so many forces behind it, and the competition for rights, interests, and resources among them is far more intense than imagined.
All countries and international institutions that are qualified to intervene do not want a piece of the pie.
…
The most famous thing in Cape Town is Table Mountain behind the city. It is surrounded by clouds and fog all year round. The top of the mountain is as gentle as a tabletop, hence its name.
There are countless legends about it, the most famous one is about the origin of the clouds and mist on the top of the mountain.
It is said that a pirate named Van Hanks competed with the devil by smoking in order to compete with the devil for the cave where he could atone his sins.
Whoever wins the cave will get it, so the top of the mountain is always filled with smoke.
The smoke dissipates from the top of the mountain in winter because Old Devil and Van Hanks are old and cannot bear the winter sea breeze and cold sky.
Ming Jin withdraws his troops and fights again next year? ? ?
It turns out that devils are also afraid of the cold. I wonder if they need a water heater. Does anyone want to compete with a·o Smith’s gold medal sales?
The SHIELD branch is located just east of Devil's Peak, occupying the former old city.
Cape Town originally planned to rebuild the old city, but Aegis just received the news and took the initiative to set up a bridge for it, using bribes to obtain the excellent location in the northeast corner.
It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea to the east. Only one road in the south connects to the city of Cape Town.
The Table Mountain behind it is a natural secret base. Over the years, two-thirds of SHIELD's income has been invested here.
Yes, Li Zitao wants to make South Africa his own backyard.
The car passed the highway transfer and the checkpoint ahead came into view.
There were hidden sentries placed in the hidden places on the mountainside on the left and right. Seeing the Wrangler leading the way, the roadblock was raised and the car continued to move forward.
Soon a dark green camp came into view. Due to the terrain, the camp blended well with the color of the mountain and sea.
If you don't get close, you won't be able to find it at all.
"BOSS." George Andre Helion, the general director of the African branch, came up to him.
I have just turned 25 this year, which is when I am in my prime.
But he has no qualifications at all. His father is the first American chief instructor, Andre Herion, and he has been hanging out with his father in the camp since he was a child.
After graduating from high school, he officially joined SHIELD. After being recommended, he received a letter of recommendation from the ‘Extreme Training Camp’ and graduated with an ‘S’ grade.
After that, he served in the Alpha Ghost Team for 3 years, and then joined the Doom Team.
This mysterious force is active on the land of Africa and specializes in performing various dangerous, beheading, and difficult breakthrough missions.
After his two-year career in Doom, George was selected to enter the management training class, and finally passed all the tests to get to where he is today.
It cannot be said that his identity played no role in his promotion, but he is definitely good enough to be able to take on his current position.
"George, have you gone back to see your father?" This was not the first time that Li Zitao and George met.
Seeing the little kid with a snot nose achieve what he has achieved today, he was also happy for the other person.
"We just met before he went on holiday to the Mediterranean."
Andre has retired and used his savings to buy a sailing yacht, and he and his wife have a romantic twilight love affair around the world.
"Your father still knows how to enjoy it. The other old guys only know how to hide at home, drink and play ball."
"They just want a stable life."
George understood the thoughts of those old-timers very well. After working hard for most of his life, who would be willing to wander around when he could finally take a break.
On the other hand, my father is more like an old naughty boy who has not grown up.
