Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 764: Making Plans (Part 2)

Lu Shaohua treated this matter with the mentality that strength lies in numbers, but he did not expect that the effect was really extraordinary. Li Zhijie had a good plan in the general direction, but when it came to the small details, Li Zhijie's plan still had some loopholes.

Now, everyone has put forward suggestions and filled in some small loopholes, making the big plan perfect and mature step by step. The success rate of execution has also been greatly improved, which makes Lu Shaohua very happy.

In this way, everyone talked at once and put forward many good suggestions, which were adopted one by one by Lu Shaohua. Finally, a decision was made to control the small African country where the Tiger Roar Base was located.

However, after the plan was finalized, another problem arose. The person who noticed this problem was none other than Li Shangkui, who had not spoken much. "Now we only mentioned the small African country where the base is located, but according to Zhijie's big plan, there are far more than one small African country mentioned. After all, there are many African countries with gold mines, and there are as many as six or seven countries with rich gold mines."

Yes, Li Shangkui noticed this problem. When others focused their attention on the small African country where the Tiger Roar Base was located, Li Shangkui was sober.

When flying from Saudi Arabia to Africa, Li Shangkui stayed by Lu Shaohua's side, so he remembered what Li Zhijie said to Lu Shaohua. Combined with his understanding of Lu Shaohua, he knew that if Lu Shaohua wanted to control small African countries, he would definitely not control just one, but multiple.

This is indeed the case. Lu Shaohua is an ambitious man. It would be fine if he did not take action, but once he takes action, his ambition will definitely explode, and it will be no problem for him to take over more than a dozen countries in one go.

Of course, although Lu Shaohua has great ambitions, he is not blind. He makes his choices purposefully. When he lists a small African country as a target, Lu Shaohua will first consider its value and whether it is worth controlling.

However, in the discussion among the crowd, Lu Shaohua also overlooked the fact that they were only targeting the small African country where the Tiger Roar Base was located, and did not involve other countries, which made Lu Shaohua feel helpless. He finally attributed this neglect to being tired from sitting on the plane for too long.

"Brother Li has noticed that. That's right. If we don't take action, it's fine. If we do, we can't just control one country, but multiple countries." Lu Shaohua brought up the topic. After a moment of silence, Lu Shaohua did not forget to lead the topic to his purpose. "Brother Zhijie, Brother Xie, Brother Qian, you three have stayed in Africa the longest and have more say in certain matters. Which small countries in Africa have the richest gold mines?"

It is true that Lu Shaohua wants to control several small African countries, but don't forget that Lu Shaohua has another purpose, which is gold futures. Since the idea of ​​controlling a country's political power came about because of speculating in gold futures, Lu Shaohua must of course set goals around this plan.

It is precisely because the goal must be determined around the plan that Lu Shaohua raised this question, so as to prevent the theme from being so monotonous and boring as controlling a country's political power.

Quiet, quiet, still...

Yes, when Lu Shaohua raised this question, everyone present was silent and no one spoke first. It was not that they did not want to speak, but that they were unable to react for a moment and at the same time, they felt a little embarrassed.

From the beginning of the discussion, Li Zhijie and others seemed to have forgotten one thing, that is, why Lu Shaohua agreed to let them control the political power of a country. It was not for the gold mine, which was Lu Shaohua's original intention.

But what about them? When they started the discussion, all they talked about was how to control a country's political power. They completely forgot about Lu Shaohua's purpose. Now that Lu Shaohua mentioned his goal again, how could Li Zhijie and the others not feel embarrassed and guilty?

Fortunately, Lu Shaohua did not mean to blame them, which made Li Zhijie and the other three feel better. After a moment of silence, Li Zhijie took the lead in turning around, stood up and walked to the wall where the main seat was, then opened the curtains, revealing a large map of Africa.

How could there be no map in the conference room, the conference room of the senior management of the Tiger Roar Base? You should know that this conference room is used frequently, whether the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group receives a mission or a small war breaks out in Africa, this conference room will be used.

When the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group received the mission from Da Nong, the purpose of this conference room was to hold the arrangement meeting. The map on the wall would also show the map of the mission destination, and explanations would be given based on the map.

There was a war in Africa, especially a war near the Tiger Roar Base. Li Zhijie and his team would pull out a map of the surrounding area, mark the war areas, and then discuss whether it would affect the Tiger Roar Base and whether defenses were needed.

Today, the Bu meeting room has turned into a combat meeting room, and the discussion is about how to invade other countries and take control of their regimes. It really feels a bit like a command post.

That’s right, it’s a command post. The conference room has now completely turned into a command post, and Li Zhijie is the highest commander holding the baton, explaining the destination to everyone.

As one of the three giants of the Tiger Roar Base, the head of the Tiger Roar Intelligence Network, and the intelligence chief, he always knows more than others, and this is enough for Li Zhijie to have more say than others in the meeting, especially about the distribution of gold mines in Africa.

Long before Lu Shaohua informed Li Zhijie that he was going to take action on gold futures and oil, Li Zhijie had already made preparations in advance. As for oil, needless to say, Li Zhijie had informed the Saudi Arabian royal family in advance, and as for gold, Li Zhijie first collected intelligence and information about the distribution of gold mines in African countries, which also led to Li Zhijie having a clear understanding of the distribution of gold mine content.

"It really fits the old Chinese saying that there is no coincidence in the world. In the early days of the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group, we made the right choice in choosing this place. Not only is the small African country where we are stationed the richest in gold, but the neighboring countries are also the places with the most gold mines." Li Zhijie pointed at several places on the map with his baton and said, "The places I pointed out just now are the countries with the highest gold mine content, and these countries are surrounded by our base."

Li Zhijie first introduced the terrain, and also pointed out several countries with the richest gold mines, and then introduced the strategic significance. "From a geographical point of view, if we regard the countries I just pointed out as our targets, then our Tiger Roar Base can be regarded as the center and expand out to the surrounding areas."

"Also, if we succeed, this area will be under the control of our Tiger Roar Base, and our Tiger Roar Base will become the undisputed king." Li Zhijie did not stop and continued. "There is another more important point, which is the issue of control. As we all know, we are Chinese, and it is not realistic for us to rule a country. We have to support African natives to control it, and the person we support must be under our control. If we take our Tiger Roar Base as the center and the distance is not too far, then everything will be exposed to our eyes, which can increase our control and we are not afraid of accidents."

Everyone knows that among the forces supported by the Soviet Union last time, many of them betrayed in the end, and only a few military personnel persisted to the end. Although Lu Shaohua also wanted to give up on them, this kind of thing was not very glorious after all, and Lu Shaohua would never allow it to happen again. Therefore, in terms of control, Lu Shaohua's requirement was foolproof.

It seemed that Li Zhijie knew Lu Shaohua's heart very well. Moreover, this time he planned to do it for a long time, not just a few years like in the Soviet Union. Therefore, when he was in control, he would not allow failure or betrayal to occur.

In fact, even if Lu Shaohua did not confess, Li Zhijie and others would not allow any betrayal to exist, because that would be an insult to them and a stain that proved that there were problems with their abilities. It was only because of Lu Shaohua's concern that Li Zhijie pointed it out in such a meeting.

"This is a natural condition." Lu Shaohua said in support of Li Zhijie, agreeing with his point of view, but then Lu Shaohua raised a crucial question. "Our plan is very clear, to support the forces, to support their local forces in Africa, but how to support them, and which target to choose, have you thought about it?"

Africa for Lu Shaohua can be described in one sentence, that is, he is completely in the dark and knows nothing. Not understanding also means that Lu Shaohua has no right to speak, so after Lu Shaohua raised the question, he chose to remain silent and let Li Zhijie and others speak.

"Since the establishment of our Tiger Roar Intelligence Network, we have collected a lot of intelligence on the surrounding regions and countries. We have a very broad understanding. It is not too difficult to decide on the candidates. We just need to verify the intelligence. I don't think it will be difficult to select the candidates to support." Li Zhijie seemed very confident.

"I think choosing a partner is not difficult. There are so many capable people. The question is whether they can be under our control and are willing to be controlled by us." Xie Jianwei raised an objection.

First of all, Xie Jianwei did not mean to target Li Zhijie. He was telling the truth. When selecting candidates, two requirements must be met. The first requirement is ability, because to manage a country, ability is definitely required.

Another requirement is loyalty, but this loyalty conflicts with the first condition. Often, capable people are smart people. When a smart person climbs to a high position, he or she will always be dissatisfied with the status quo and become full of ambition. At that time, he or she will want to get rid of control, but it will be troublesome for the person in control.

It has to be said that Xie Jianwei hit the nail on the head. Lu Shaohua also nodded, indicating that he agreed with Xie Jianwei's point. Then he looked at Li Zhijie, Qian Qian and Li Shangkui and asked them if they had any good suggestions.
