Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 767: Ready (Part 2)

It can be said that everything is ready now, except for an east wind, and this east wind is the coming of the election. At Lu Shaohua's order, the plan to invade the regime will be officially implemented, and Lu Shaohua's two major futures plans of gold and oil will also follow suit.

But before that, Lu Shaohua still had one thing to arrange, which was his inaugural speech when he was elected president.

Originally, Lu Shaohua didn't need to care about a president's inaugural speech, but since it was related to Lu Shaohua's plan, Lu Shaohua had to intervene at this time to make the inaugural speech more meaningful.

"Brother Qian, you are responsible for communicating with the candidate we support, right?" Lu Shaohua asked.

In fact, Lu Shaohua knew that Qian Qian was the person who had contact with the supported politician, but in order to confirm and pave the way for talking to him, Lu Shaohua had to ask again at this time.

"Yes." Qian Qian said very straightforwardly, nodding heavily.

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua responded, and after a moment's silence, he said, "What I'm going to talk about next is the inaugural address given by the president after he is elected. As we all know, every president who comes to power makes some promises to the people, which can also be understood as empty promises. Once the position is consolidated, who will care about these things? If it can be done, it will be done, and if it cannot be done, it will not be done."

"However, we are different from others. We will not write blank checks to the African people, but make a real promise." Lu Shaohua continued without stopping. After looking up at everyone, he continued. "What is a real promise? What we are doing now and what we are preparing to do can be regarded as a promise."

It has to be said that Lu Shaohua is getting better and better at playing riddles, but everyone in the crowd is smart, and Lu Shaohua believes that they can understand the meaning of his words.

Indeed, no matter whether it is Li Zhijie, Xie Jianwei, Qian Qian or Li Shangkui, the four of them are not stupid. Of course they can hear the meaning of Lu Shaohua's words, which is nothing more than pointing to gold.

People all over Africa know that there are extremely valuable mineral resources buried beneath their vast lands. However, those without power and influence are unable to separate themselves from the wealth brought by the rich mineral resources and can only rely on selling their labor or even their lives in exchange for food. This has to be said to be a huge irony.

If at this time a president stood up and said to rob the local tyrants and nationalize the rich mineral resources, then the African people would definitely be very happy, because the country will become rich and the people will more or less benefit.

It is predictable that once public opinion is complied with, the position of the president who successfully implements it will be extremely stable.

Of course, not everyone can accomplish this great feat.

However, if we combine it with what Lu Shaohua and others are doing now, then the answer will become different. With the participation of the Tiger Roar Base, what forces or families can compete with it?

No, no family or force can withstand the strong intervention of the Tiger Roar Base, especially this kind of secret and rapid intervention, no force or family can contend with it.

Therefore, another result is predictable, that is, the blank check written by the president who announced the nationalization of mineral resources will become real, completing a great initiative.

"I know what to do. I'll find some time to talk to him later." Qian Qian nodded in agreement.

Yes, that's right, Qian Qian had to find a time, not meet him right away. You know, Qian Qian is very busy now, if Lu Shaohua hadn't called them over, they would still be busy now, and they wouldn't have time to sit here.

What's more, there is still some time before the election and the inaugural speech, so there is plenty of time to convey Lu Shaohua's words, and time is not very urgent.

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua also responded softly, and then changed the subject and started the next topic. "Let's talk about some of the neighboring countries. I have been studying the map of our area these days and found that there are some discrepancies in our oil transportation route. This route will pass through two small countries, and these two small countries are not included in our plan, right?"

There are not many countries with ports in Africa, and the transportation from the Middle East uses large tankers, which have to dock at the port. Then they are lifted by heavy helicopters and transported to the Tiger Roar Base by large tanker trucks. In between, they have to pass through four countries, and the distance seems to be not close, nearly two hundred miles away.

Such a long distance does not seem very safe. It would be fine if a helicopter was used, as it could pass through the sky. However, using a tanker truck would be a different matter, as the remote places passed by could easily be attacked.

Maybe the hijacking of one or two oil tanker trucks is not a big deal, but if you calculate the cost, Lu Shaohua would be heartbroken. For example, a large tanker truck can carry $30 worth of crude oil. If you add the cost of transporting it from the Middle East and extracting it from the oil field, the cost would be at least nearly $1.

Lu Shaohua cannot afford to lose money with such a high cost, and more importantly, Lu Shaohua will never allow anyone to snatch food from his mouth, so Lu Shaohua must buy insurance for the transportation route, and this insurance is to control the two small countries that the transportation route will pass through, so as to ensure that there is no risk of error.

What? Not safe yet?

What an international joke. Being robbed while driving through your own country is a huge joke. If that kind of thing really happened, Li Zhijie and his friends would have no need to stay in Africa and could just go home and eat rice.

Li Zhijie was obviously very familiar with the map of Africa. After Lu Shaohua finished speaking, he stood up and spoke. "Yes, there are two small countries that are not included in the plan. Well, those two small countries are poor countries, and there is nothing worth our efforts."

Li Zhijie's meaning was very clear, that is, those two countries did not have rich mineral resources, and there was no benefit in controlling them.

But Lu Shaohua didn't think so. He had gotten to this point. Controlling one small country was the same as controlling two. For the safety of the oil transportation routes, it seemed nothing wrong to control two more.

"Let's take them down together, so that our oil transportation routes can be safe. However, those two small countries are placed behind the plan. We will take action against them after all the targets originally included in the plan are taken care of. There is no rush now." After saying that, Lu Shaohua paused for a few seconds and emphasized it again. "Well, to paraphrase an ancient saying, food and grass must be sent before the war. Although we haven't taken action against them yet, we still need to prepare in advance and take them down in one fell swoop when the time comes. Don't delay too long."

Now that most of the preparations have been completed, it doesn't seem too heavy for Lu Shaohua to prepare for the two countries that Li Zhijie and his team have to work on. Li Zhijie and his team still have the energy to prepare. It is for this reason that Lu Shaohua proposed to control two more countries at this time.

"clear."

"clear."

"clear."

Li Zhijie and the other three responded in unison.

At this point, everyone knew what Lu Shaohua meant. As former soldiers and now Lu Shaohua's subordinates, Li Zhijie and others knew what to do and how to respond.

Obviously, Lu Shaohua was very satisfied with Li Zhijie's answer. Lu Shaohua glanced at the three of them, smiling, nodded slightly, and then changed the subject and continued, "Let's talk about the last topic, which is about the forces within our target."

Having said this, Lu Shaohua deliberately paused and did not continue speaking, as if to whet everyone's appetite.

Actually, Lu Shaohua had no intention of keeping them in suspense. He just wanted to give Li Zhijie and the others some time to prepare themselves mentally and receive what he was going to say next.

Lu Shaohua was also very cooperative. As soon as he finished speaking, he scanned the faces of the three people one by one. Seeing that the latter three people were listening carefully and behaved like elementary school students, Lu Shaohua nodded with satisfaction and continued. "Africa is a poor continent, but the forces here are diverse. I know you should know this. If we control several countries in the middle, I will not allow any mission forces to exist, including mercenary groups, intelligence network headquarters and branches, killer organizations, arms organizations, and terrorist organizations. All of them are not allowed. If we find one, we will eliminate it and return this land to a clear sky."

Lu Shaohua looks like a priest who always cares about the African people. But in fact, Lu Shaohua is thinking about himself. If several countries are controlled by Lu Shaohua, then there will be other forces, which means that the Tiger Roar Base will have potential opponents, which Lu Shaohua will not allow.

Since it is not allowed, what should we do?

There is only one answer: drive them away. If they cannot be driven away, destroy them without any mercy.

Of course, if the second option is chosen, the Tiger Roar Base must adopt shady means and use assassination to eliminate other forces, and never let anyone know that it was all done by the Tiger Roar Base.

In fact, if Lu Shaohua had not brought up this matter, Li Zhijie and others would have done the same. Over the years, they seemed to be getting along well with other forces on the surface, but the struggle in secret had never stopped. If they had gained control of this place, how could Li Zhijie and others allow other forces to exist?

However, now that Lu Shaohua has brought it up himself, it saves Li Zhijie and the others from having to ask Lu Shaohua for instructions in the future, which saves them a lot of hassle.

"No problem, leave it to us."

Li Zhijie finally stood up and gave Lu Shaohua a guarantee on behalf of the entire Tiger Roar Base.

"I believe you can clean it up." Lu Shaohua smiled and said.
