Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 334, My life is in danger!
On the last day of August 1973, in the conference room of the Lingjing Hutong office compound.

Zhao Mancang continued to talk, describing what he saw and heard from Sam.

These are indeed facts, and leaders have other ways to learn these facts.

To be honest, the market at Sam's Club is already very chaotic. Although all kinds of products exported from China are selling very well, everyone understands the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace.

Therefore, for now, we must make relevant preparations.

If an economic crisis hits and products become unsalable, it will be a disaster.

"Mancang, you often visit Sam's Club and have a better understanding of it. If an economic crisis really occurs, how should we deal with it?"

Hearing the leader's question, Zhao Mancang did not hesitate and blurted out his meaning:

"I won't go into other things. Developing and strengthening our economy is inevitable. What I mean is that we should also promote the supermarket model in our country."

"Over at Sam's Club, every household has a refrigerator, air conditioner, TV, etc. The household appliance coverage rate is very high. What about us?"

"On the other hand, if we start to promote and popularize these products in China, we will face a huge problem, which is the problem of power supply."

Not only is the power supply to residents tight, but the power supply to industry is even tighter.

So there are many problems that need to be solved.

The previously mentioned large-scale projects that benefit the country and the people, such as the Three Gorges Dam, West-to-East Power Transmission, and West-to-East Water Transmission, should be brought out.

Some experts say that the Three Gorges Dam should not have been built.

Because once the Three Gorges Dam is built, it is very likely to be a target of foreign nuclear bomb attacks.

Once a flood discharge occurs at the Three Gorges Dam, the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River will suffer from unprecedented flood disasters.

Therefore, we cannot build this hydroelectric power station and cannot personally give this weakness to the enemy.

It couldn’t be built before, but now it’s not a big problem.

After all, it’s not like other countries can drop nuclear bombs, we can drop nuclear bombs too.

Now major projects such as the Three Gorges Hydropower Station can be launched and funds can be gradually put in place, but early project preparation work must be carried out.

"The solar power plant in the Shaya laboratory area can only barely supply the laboratory's own electricity consumption. If we want to transmit the solar power here to the eastern region, it is still quite difficult."

After a pause, Zhao Mancang continued:
"I brought back technologies related to wind power generation, tidal power generation, and nuclear power from abroad, but there hasn't been much progress yet, so we can only wait!"

"The south is densely populated with water resources, and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau also has extremely rich water resources. These should not be wasted."

"On the other hand, I will continue to expand our imports of raw materials such as coal, oil, and minerals over the next few years, and advance the deep mining of our various resources."

After Zhao Mancang finished speaking, the leaders nodded one after another.

The leaders are certainly aware of these major problems, but the solution to the problem is not so easy to come by.

Zhao Mancang gave a lot of suggestions, but no one knows whether all of them can be implemented in the end.

Good advice, but it depends on the situation.

After coming out of Lingjing Hutong, Zhao Mancang breathed a sigh of relief.

The bright sunny day was already waving to him, and perhaps everything was different.

In early September, Zhao Mancang personally sent the two little ones, Xiao Pangdun and Xiao Siyu, to school, while staying at home with Lin Wan.

But the latter was helpless. She wanted to go to work because it was too boring at home.

Besides, she was only four months old, not seven or eight months old, so she was not used to it.

Seeing that she was so stubborn, Zhao Mancang had no choice.

So he had to ask Hu Xiaocao and her three sisters to come and help.

Thirteen years have passed, and Hu Xiaocao and her two sisters have grown up.

Hu Xiaocao, who was only eight years old at the time, is now twenty-one years old. The second child, Hu Xiaoye, was six and a half years old at the time and is now nineteen and a half years old.

The eldest and second daughter both work in the factory. This was arranged by Zhao Mancang and it is also what they can do.

Now the third child, Hu Xiaohua, is barely eighteen years old and can help take care of Lin Wan.

As for the youngest, Hu Xiaoming, he is sixteen years old and has already gone to the countryside.

But fortunately, Hu Xiaoming went to a rural area in Northeast China, where he was taken care of by someone, and he often wrote letters back, so there was no need to worry too much.

With Hu Xiaohua's help, Zhao Mancang could finally leave the capital with peace of mind.

In the Middle East, in the small town of Iskushban, the Black Cross Forces’ camp in the Middle East.

In the command room, Zhao Mancang, dressed in camouflage uniform, asked with a serious expression:

"How is the situation now?"

The reason why he came here was because the situation in the Middle East had reached a critical point, like a volcano that could erupt at any time, so he had to come.

When he reported to his superiors in Lingjing Hutong at the end of August, he had already emphasized this situation.

Although I am not involved in it, I cannot ignore it.

So Zhao Mancang came to the Middle East in person to keep an eye on it.

But he did not go to the temporary base of the Jiaolong Army because it was not the time yet.

Upon hearing this, Pang Zimo pointed at the map and said:

"Boss, the news we've learned is that Sam Base and others have already prepared a large number of weapons, and their aircraft carrier formation has been lingering in the ocean."

"On the other hand, the Middle Eastern powerhouse, the Arab Empire, is ready to strike. Their king has reached the point of no return."

"Large quantities of oil are exported at ultra-low prices, and their oil fields have been exploited at a high volume, making it impossible for OPEC's interests to be properly protected."

"The Seven Sisters are pushing too hard, and with Kari Kuni really enjoying showing off, they'll probably be preparing to strike back during this period."

Listening to Pang Zimo's inference, Zhao Mancang remained silent.

The situation in the Middle East is actually very simple. It all comes down to a struggle for interests.

The OPEC members, who are wearing a piece of cloth on their heads, are not fools. They can naturally see that the current oil price of only US$3.011 per barrel is very, very cheap.

Although there may be a lot of oil under the vast deserts of their country, every barrel sold means one less barrel of oil in their country's oil fields.

Big loss.

Therefore, small-scale conflicts occur from time to time now, and no one can predict whether a war will break out.

However, Zhao Mancang was very sure that it would definitely happen.

So after staying in the Black Cross Army for half a day, Zhao Mancang went to the next door in person.

"Do you want weapons?"

Razag Magid looked at Zhao Mancang in front of him, full of vigilance: "What weapons do you have?"

"D21 unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft, M66 fighter jets, M72 fighter jets, and a large number of modern weapons. I can sell as many as you want."

Zhao Mancang's voice was full of temptation, but upon hearing it, Razag Majid shook his head and said:

"You're late, then. We've already purchased a batch. But do you really have any M66 fighters?"

Hearing the other party's words, Zhao Mancang frowned immediately:

"Who did you purchase the arms from?"

Damn it, which bastard acted so quickly?
Before, Zhao Mancang always thought that it would not happen so quickly, and even Afghans like Razag Mejid would not buy arms so quickly. Unexpectedly, someone had already taken the lead.

Fuck!

Razag Magid was very professional and did not betray their allies, so he shook his head and refused to tell Zhao Mancang.

However, Razag Magid was very eager to know about Zhao Mancang's M66 and M72 fighter jets.

Because Razag Magid had heard of these two fighter jets, and their extremely powerful combat capabilities made him very jealous.

This is definitely a very advanced fighter. For example, the M66 fighter has a maximum combat radius of kilometers and a maximum range of kilometers.

It can carry six missiles or eight aerial bombs and is equipped with a powerful combat system. In short, when such a fighter is armed, it is definitely very powerful and is also their confidence.

"No problem, I've brought them here. There are two in total. Come and take a look. I just need oil!"

Zhao Mancang did not hesitate and brought Razag Majid to an uninhabited desert area. In the dark night, he lit a torch so that the other party could see him.

There were indeed bombs and missiles hanging under the belly of the fighter jet, which Razag Magid could see very clearly.

"How many of these fighters do you have? I want to assemble a flight formation."

Razag Magid was overjoyed and immediately asked loudly.

"As many as you want, I can arrange it immediately. Ten M66 fighters can be shipped to you at any time. If you want M72 fighters, you'll have to wait for half a year."

The M72 fighter jet was finalized last year, and its current production volume is not very high.

Mario Aviation has only produced fifteen M72 fighter jets so far, but these have all been reserved by Sam, so there is no way to withdraw them.

But the M66 fighter is enough.

Besides, this thing is just a deterrent for Razag Magid. If they really want to fight, M66 will definitely not be the main force.

After hearing what Zhao Mancang said, Razag Majid nodded happily and said that there was no problem and he wanted both M66 and M72.

As for oil, they can take it out, but they may not be able to supply it to Zhao Mancang so quickly.

"No problem, you can start mining first. Also, if you have other minerals or gold, I will buy them too."

So after it was decided, the transaction would be carried out in three days. The reason for the three-day wait was that Razag Magid needed to raise funds, while Zhao Mancang could deliver the fighter jets at any time.

After returning from the A country, Zhao Mancang went to the Black Cross headquarters in the small town of Iskushuban and gave Pang Zimo and his men an order:
Find out who is trading arms with Razag Magid and his gang.

Upon hearing this, Pang Zimo and the others immediately took action.

Zhao Mancang actually already had a guess, and it was very likely that it was Sam's arms dealers.

The rapid growth of the entire California region, or the California consortium, is actually all due to arms dealers.

From Grumman to Raytheon, to Lockheed Martin, etc., these companies are all arms companies and have made enormous contributions to the economic development of the California region.

Today, on the Monkey Peninsula in Asia, the war has entered its final stage and can no longer be fought.

If Zhao Mancang guessed correctly, they would definitely withdraw starting next year.

In fact, a few years ago, when Richard Milhouse became the White House squad leader, he should have withdrawn all the Sam soldiers sent to Monkey Peninsula.

However, the California consortium is very powerful and rich, which influenced Richard Milhouse's decision.

Moreover, Richard Milhouse is from the California consortium, so it is impossible for him to do such a thing.

It is therefore quite clear that the war on the Monkey Peninsula continues to this day.

In addition, Zhao Mancang had been continuously transporting bulletproof vests and moldy weapons from the country to Monkey Peninsula, which almost made Sam's arms dealers angry to death.

Sam Intelligence Agency has been investigating for so long and has roughly determined that it was the Dragon Army who did it.

But the Jiaolong Army is elusive and appears all over the world. The intelligence agency can't find them even if they want to arrest them. As for finding evidence, that is even more difficult.

So I could only stare blankly.

In the past one or two years, Zhao Mancang has not been to Monkey Peninsula much, so it is even more difficult for Sam's arms dealers to find the culprit.

After the arms on the Monkey Peninsula began to sell poorly, California arms dealers had no choice but to turn their attention elsewhere.

The arms dealers are most aware that the Middle East is a powder keg and is most likely to become a dumping ground for their arms, so they rush here in advance to sell their arms.

Zhao Mancang could think of this, but he had no way of determining which company was responsible.

On the African continent, Zhao Mancang has fought with arms dealers many times, whether it was the Black Cross Force, the Dragon Army, or the Nolinasun Group. In short, he has fought with all these arms dealers.

Therefore, he was very familiar with the characteristics of these Sam arms dealers. Greed, fox-like cunning, cruelty, and extraordinary courage were all labels on these arms dealers.

The Black Cross Forces have clashed with these arms dealers the most times, so it is most appropriate to let Pang Zimo and his team investigate thoroughly.

After this matter was finalized, three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Mancang met Razag Mejid in the same deserted desert area where he had met him before.

Razag Mejid brought thousands of people, as well as a lot of oil, minerals, and gold. When Zhao Mancang saw him, he immediately said:

"I need to inspect the goods in advance. After I inspect them, I will take you to inspect them!"

Seeing that Zhao Mancang came alone, Razag Majid's subordinate Guduskerimu couldn't help but give Razag Majid a look.

This look is very simple, which means whether to kill Zhao Mancang?
But Razag Magid shook his head slightly.

The last time he had contact with Zhao Mancang, the other party was able to bring him to this place from his sleep without anyone noticing, which was enough to show that the other party was extremely powerful.

Afterwards, Razag Mejid sent people to conduct detailed reconnaissance in this desert area, but they could not find any more clues, so they could only watch helplessly.

Therefore, before we can confirm Zhao Mancang's situation, we should hold off and get those M66 fighter jets first.

Zhao Mancang pretended not to know about their little tricks.

Soon, he checked and confirmed that the oil, minerals and gold were indeed in place.

The price of an M66 fighter jet is million US dollars, which is unchanged from the previous price.

Twelve M66 fighter jets, totaling million US dollars.

After Zhao Mancang confirmed that the total value of these oil and gold reached 180 million US dollars, he happily nodded in agreement.

So he took Razag Magid and the others to a place two kilometers away and let them see the twelve fighter jets.

When Razag Mejid and his men saw these planes, they were stunned.

Because they had already conducted a reconnaissance before coming, and there were no such planes nearby, not even a shadow of them.

But I didn’t expect that there are twelve fighter jets parked here now, which is extremely weird.

Not long after, after Razag Mejid sent professionals to inspect the twelve M66 fighter jets, it was finally confirmed that there was no problem with the aircraft.

In that case, the transaction is over.

Zhao Mancang left happily, and then quickly took away all the oil, gold, minerals, etc.

When Razag Magid and the others came over, they found the place was empty.

hiss!
so horrible!

It's too powerful to transport all these oil and other items away in such a short time, right?

No matter what Razag Magid and the others thought, Zhao Mancang had already left the scene.

On the third day after Zhao Mancang returned to the town of Iskushuban, Pang Zimo and his team who went out to investigate finally brought back good news.

It was Grumman Corporation that completed the arms deal with Razag Magid and his men, but it was definitely not the person in power, Carritok Grumman, but the arms dealer Grand Lewis who represented their Grumman Corporation.

Grande Lewis is a very cruel man. He has an extremely powerful team of bodyguards who can help him escape danger every time.

"Kill him!"

After Zhao Mancang learned about this, he gave the order without hesitation.

Cutting off Grumman's minions was what he had to do.

In southern Africa, Grumman is still engaged in a tug-of-war with Heinz McKinney and others.

Although this has nothing to do with Zhao Mancang directly, if Heinz McKinney, Anatoly Nashun and others cannot withstand the attack of the Grumman family, or even take the initiative to betray the Nolinashun Group, then they will have to face the Grumman Company head-on.

Therefore, no matter what, Zhao Mancang would never hesitate to do anything to cause trouble for Grumman.

After receiving the order, Pang Zimo and his men immediately attacked like hungry wolves after determining Grand Lewis's specific location.

Before Zhao Mancang received the result, Razag Majid contacted Zhao Mancang again.

Razag Mejid did not have Zhao Mancang's contact information, but the latter told him that if he wanted to contact him, he only needed to write a special symbol in a church in their city.

After receiving the information from the Black Cross Force, Zhao Mancang did not hesitate and brought his men to find Razag Majid.

As soon as he arrived at his destination, Zhao Mancang quickly discovered something was wrong.

So Zhao Mancang first sent out a drone for reconnaissance, and sure enough, this guy Razag Majid had deployed a large number of troops around.

These people are all armed with guns and it is obvious what they want to do.

After confirming that this was a trap, Zhao Mancang certainly wouldn't be so stupid as to jump into it.

You have to know that at this time, there are almost tens of thousands or even more people in the nearby residential buildings.

If Zhao Mancang really brings people with him, something bad will definitely happen.

"This guy doesn't focus on messing with others, but instead comes to mess with me? Haha, it seems he thinks his life is too long!"

Zhao Mancang muttered to himself, and then decided to give Razag Magid and the others a warning.

Boom!

He picked a residential area with the largest population and dropped an aerial bomb from the sky.

After a loud bang, the surrounding area was completely destroyed.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Mancang confirmed the specific location of Razag Mejid through the D21 unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, then went to the area and sent out his insect drone to confirm its most accurate location.

Using the insect drone, Zhao Mancang brought his little note to Razag Majid's desk.

A few minutes later, Razag Mejid's secretary found the small note.

The note contained only a warning, nothing more, but even so, Razag Magid's face turned ashen, his vision went dark, and he almost fainted from anger.

"Fake!"

Razag Magid roared in frustration, because today's incident was not his idea in the first place. Now, they had lost hundreds of people, and they didn't even see the shadow of the enemy, but they were inexplicably warned.

My life is at stake!

However, after confirming this, Razag Mejid had no choice but to keep to himself and stop fighting with others.

As time went on, Razag Magid was pushed out and he needed to communicate with the Sam people.

However, Sam and the Kara Kingdom would never agree to the conditions of Razag Magid and others, so after many attempts at communication failed.

The king ordered Razag Mejid to follow orders and stop transporting oil abroad.

The news spread quickly and the Middle East attracted global attention for a while.

On Sam's side, oil prices rose on the New York Stock Exchange.

The price was previously $3.001 per barrel, but it immediately rose to $3.65 per barrel, and the price is still soaring.

There is no way. If the Middle East stops transporting oil out, it will inevitably affect global oil prices.

As Sam and his team have made major breakthroughs in horizontal well drilling and hydraulic fracturing technology, and shale oil has not yet been developed, Middle Eastern oil is particularly important.

What should we do now?
