Chapter 152 Chaos(1/2)
Tao Xi sleeps very lightly except in unsafe places.
As soon as a trace of fish belly white appeared in the sky over Managua, Tao Xi sat up from the bed with a "whoosh".
Someone had already started working outside the cave dwelling. Tao Xi rubbed the gum in the corner of his eyes and looked at the men in this [base area] who were already walking towards the [coffee plantation] near the forest with empty bags on their backs.
Within a short time, smoke began to rise from the cave dwelling in the [base area].
"You got up so early, I thought you should at least wait for my breakfast to be ready."
With a cigarette in his mouth, Mike squeezed his eyes and said to Tao Xi who was washing his face in the water pipe.
Tao Xi put her mouth to the mouth of the water pipe and took a sip. Then she casually wiped the water stains on her face with her clothes: "We are leaving today, are you ready?"
"Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you."
Tao Xi took Mike and handed him a piece of dark stuff and bit into it without any hesitation. This dark dough-like stuff seemed to be made from potato flour, with a hint of starchy sweetness inside.
.
"If Heisman isn't available, you can take him with you. I think it would be good to have someone on the road to do some handyman work or something."
"He went to Cuba last night, and I have something I need him to take care of."
When Tao Xi heard Mike's answer, the movements of his hands stopped for a moment, but soon Tao Xi was eating the dough in his hand as if he hadn't said the words just now.
After breakfast, the two of them left Mike's base in a very low-key manner without anyone saying goodbye.
Mike is worthy of being a senior intellectual who has been responsible for large-scale mining development. He has engineer shovels, engineer axes, compasses, and even many testing equipment that Tao Xi has never seen before.
"The old site of Managua still has to go forward for nearly 15 kilometers."
"A yellow shuttle bus passes here every day. As long as you can see people on this stretch of road, there are basically no good people!"
Tao Xi looked in the direction of Mike's finger, and his face couldn't help but darken a little, because Tao Xi discovered that the first person who showed him the way pointed him the wrong way.
With Mike, a native, as their guide, the two of them walked much faster towards the Managua Airport.
Tao Xi spent an entire afternoon walking. Under the guidance of Mike, the two of them arrived at their destination in just over 2 hours.
The establishment of Managua International Airport can be traced back to the end of the Second Time War. Today, Nicaragua's international airport is operated by Aeromexico, and the staff throughout the airport are all Mexicans.
Because of [Adams Energy], Marco and his group took a special plane.
Private planes were very popular in Central and South America in the 1980s. Due to the political status of Central and South America, they did not have much power to intervene in their airspace. As long as the departing aircraft was reported to the US air traffic control office,
They can fly freely in these places.
A C-130 Hercules transport aircraft, which is the most widely used in the world, is parked on the tarmac of Nicaragua International Airport.
"I'm a little airsick!"
These were Marco's first words when he saw Taosi. Seeing Marco's appearance, Crane ignored him and continued to direct the various equipment and weapons consigned in the transport plane to be released.
Come down.
Mike's eyes almost popped out when he saw the American equipment held by those people.
However, Tao Xi pestered Marco and walked towards the bus not far away with an indifferent expression. In order to cope with this operation, Tao Xi specially invited nearly 40 boxers from the underground black market in California.
The collective combat ability of these people may not be much, but if you pick any one of them at random, they can be a good player in 1v2.
Of course, the appearance price of these people is not cheap. Because of the guarantee of the blood gang, each person must be paid at least 50,000 US dollars, and the subsequent rewards will be calculated separately.
As for the [veterans] that Adams was talking about, Tao Xi did not dare to ask for any of them.
Do they still want to learn from Mike, an old silver coin, and rebel? As for other talents in [Energy Detection] and [Energy Exploration], Tao Xi only has 7 people. There are too many of these people and it is useless.
Too much will be a hindrance!
"It's better not to bring too many people where we go this time. Too many people will easily enlarge the target, and it's not very peaceful there either."
Tao Xi sat in the car and looked as if he had returned to his own home. Mike nodded in approval. Mike changed his legs on the seat into a suitable position and continued: "I have been to that place many times.
Yes, there will definitely be no problem, but if there is really oil there, what do you think the people behind you will do in return for me?"
Seeing this old silver coin, Tao Xi finally couldn't restrain his curiosity and began to inquire about the bottom line of the Adams family. Tao Xi also gave Mike an answer that was not an answer.
"Everything you want, I think you know those people better than me!"
Mike couldn't help but frowned when he heard Taosi's words: "Weapons! Money! Airplanes! If you don't continue to cooperate with me, even if you buy the place, it will be difficult to extract oil."
"You're anxious!"
"I suggest you be patient first and see how much oil there is in that place. Believe me, we will be very good friends."
When Tao Xi saw that the negotiation and decision-making power between him and Mike had once again returned to his hands, Tao Xi immediately stopped being anxious.
He first patted Mike on the shoulder and then put the newspaper that Marco brought specially for him from the United States into Mike's arms.
Mike took the newspaper with a little impatience.
At first, Mike thought that Taosi's operation would require at least one person from the Adams family to come here to take charge of the survey, and that Taosi was just a pawn placed on the stage by the Adams family.
Until he saw that there was no one named Adams among the people present, Mike became a little anxious.
When those people greeted Tao Xi very respectfully and respected Tao Xi very much, Mike began to doubt his intelligence.
Mike, who was already in a state of confusion, picked up the [Los Angeles Daily News] and was stunned when he saw it for the first time, because the front page headline of the newspaper was [Adams International Energy reaches investment intention with the Nicaraguan government]!
Mike raised his head and glanced at Tao Xi, who was there, and then at the newspaper in his hand. Mike's originally worried heart gradually calmed down.
[Mr. Marco, Director of Adams International Energy Office in Nicaragua, has gone to Managua to discuss investment matters....]
Although there is no picture of Marco in the newspaper, it seems that Taosi just called his brother Marco?
======================================
The most powerful army in Nicaragua is actually not the government army or the revolutionary army, but a group of drug lords armed with Soviet-style weapons!
In fact, one of the most ironic things in the back garden of the United States is that a group of gangsters armed with Soviet-style equipment shoot at government troops armed with regular American-style troops all day long.
Next door, Mexico and Honduras are almost becoming gang territory.
It was already evening when Tao Xi and his party set out. As a former geological master, Mike still admired Mike's professional knowledge.
Since they set out on the road, no one has looked at the satellite positioning in their hands. They have relied on some laws of nature to head towards their destination.
When it got dark, Tao Xi began to let all of them rest on the spot.
The road Tao Xi and his party took was a mountain road.
Because Mike knew the way, the location they were on tonight was a narrow platform, and directly below the platform was a canyon.
Several camouflage-colored tents were set up around the platform, and there were people standing everywhere in the dark tents.
These people are all wearing clothes with the [Adams Energy] logo and cold American equipment.
Seeing the heavily guarded old guys in front of him, Klein comforted him with satisfaction: "Okay! Everyone, relax, we will go deeper into the mountains tomorrow!"
Just when Tao Xi thought their ordinary day was coming to an end, a fierce quarrel came from the canyon below him, followed by a burst of rapid gunfire.
Marco couldn't help but shrink his neck as he looked at the stray bullets and random sounds of firearms flying in the canyon directly below.
But Tao Xi was lying in a dense bush, using night vision goggles to look excitedly at the two groups of people who were having fun below.
"Tao Xi~"
"Are you really sure there's going to be oil here?"
Marco put his head next to Tao Xi and asked cautiously, but Tao Xi looked at the submachine gun shooting below with a happy face.
As a former Los Angeles boxer and now Taosi's younger brother, Klein was calmly making various arrangements for the employees who were resting in the tent.
Russell watched his brother-in-law busy, but the little old man Mike asked in a low voice with an indifferent expression: "Are you sure they won't come up? Do we need to find someone to look out?"
"If people in the canyon want to come up, it will be very difficult. The fastest path to reach this platform is 90 kilometers."
Taosi threw the night vision device in his hand into Marco's arms and asked seriously: "Is it possible that some transnational departments came to Nicaragua to arrest people? I seem to have seen an acquaintance?"
Mike was also stunned when he heard Tao Xi's words: "It's very possible!"
[This canyon is the safest road to some private ports in Anxiao, Nansheng Lake.
If you take other routes to transport drugs, you will not only be exploited by some people on the road, but also cheated by some police. For the sake of conservatism, this group of drug traffickers will choose the Nicaragua Grand Canyon route.
Passing through the San Juan Port is the endless Pacific Ocean. Not only can this group of drug traffickers reach Los Angeles directly by sea, but they can even go to some coastal cities such as Miami.]
After explaining all this, Mike used night vision goggles to carefully look at the two groups of people below!
"Are all the people down here locals?"
"Oh! No, the group of people on the left must be immigrants. They have plenty of ammunition." Mike hesitated for a moment and denied his guess: "The Soviet ammunition in Cuba will not be so abundant. Neither of the two groups."
Nicaragua’s homegrown power!”
Tao Xi continued to wear the night vision goggles on his head and looked down, because just now he seemed to have seen an acquaintance below!
But that acquaintance told him that he was probably dating the daughter of the California chairman of the National Rifle Association recently!
Why is he in Nicaragua?
The two groups below were clearly distinguishable. The group on the right had obviously been suppressed for a long time due to firepower, and some people had even begun to sneak away along the rocks on both sides of the canyon.
The group of people on the left are obviously well-trained, and almost everyone has an American fully automatic rifle.
