Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 250: Tactical Interweaving in Desperation, Firepower Overwhelming in Success
In late October 707, Zhao Mancang left the North American continent in a modified Boeing aircraft. He didn't care about the fight between Moscow and Sam at all.

Because he knew very well that this violent conflict could not be fought at all.

John Fitzgerald did not want to become a historical sinner. This can be seen from his wording, which shows that he did not use the word "lockdown" but the word "isolation" instead.

Even though he was very tough in his actions, it was all for Khrushchev to see.

The game between the two sides depends on who has better acting skills and who has a stronger intelligence system.

Even though John Fitzgerald had already shown such a tough attitude, Khrueugin still issued orders to speed up the delivery of missiles and bombers to the Crocodile Country. It can be seen from this that Khrueugin is indeed not an ordinary person.

But no matter how they fight, the excitement is unlikely to stop in a short time, and even if you want to watch the show, you can just read the newspaper. So Zhao Mancang will not stay here any longer, he has to rush back to the capital to complete the transaction.

In Hong Kong Island, after Zhao Mancang came back, he did not go to find Hou Jianhua and others from China Resources Company immediately, but planned to stay in Hong Kong Island for a while before returning to the mainland.

After he left last time, he has invested in three companies including auto repair shops. The current progress is still unclear. As a big boss, he must follow up more and take a look at the twins.

After staying in Hong Kong Island for three days, Zhao Mancang simply dealt with some things and then left.

When Hou Jianhua, Gui Nian'an and others from China Resources Company met Zhao Mancang again at the mouth of the Pearl River, their expressions were still one of disbelief. They had never expected that the latter could bring back so much gold again.

Is it true that the gold treasures on Mindanao Island are endless?
Zhao Mancang had no intention of explaining. He was just gaining experience points anyway. What did it have to do with him how much gold treasure there was on Mindanao?

It doesn't matter!

Anyway, he can bring back gold. He won’t care about other things, and he doesn’t know how to care about them.

Unlike the previous times, this time they flew directly from Baiyun City to the capital, and all the gold was taken over by military transport planes. Moreover, Zhao Mancang did not go to Baiyun Airport, but to another military airport.

There are also more than 500 tons of gold, worth 700 to 800 million US dollars. Such precious gold must be handled with extreme caution.

In a base in the suburbs of Beijing, when Zhao Mancang got off the plane, several leaders were already standing on the tarmac, including Gu Haidong, Wei Huayong and others.

"Comrade Mancang, you've worked hard."

The leader of the I-shaped building on Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street was full of emotion. Zhao Mancang was flattered. He didn't expect that this leader would come to pick him up again.

It was already late October and the wind was very strong outside, so everyone just stayed on the tarmac for a while and then took the car back to the city.

"Comrade Mancang, do you think there are more gold treasures in Mindanao? Or have you found other clues?"

On the way back to the city, the leader couldn't help but ask curiously.

Starting from 1959, in more than three years, Zhao Mancang has brought back thousands of tons of gold from Mindanao. He has brought back more than 500 tons of gold three times in a single trip.

It was as if Mindanao was Zhao Mancang’s own backyard, and he could bring back huge surprises almost every time he went out.

The leader would never believe that there is nothing else curious here.

Zhao Mancang heard this and said with a smile:

"Boss, I need to be honest with you about this. I really haven't found any clues. I'm really lucky. Every time I go out on a mission, I just go for a stroll, but I either run into Agent Sam, the KGB, or someone from Kimura's side. Maybe it's because I'm sensitive as a fellow agent, plus I used to be a doctor, so I was able to interrogate them and get the results I wanted."

"I brought back over 500 tons of gold this time, which was something I never expected. It seemed like a short time, but in fact, I was drifting on the sea for nearly half a month. During that time, I almost sank to the bottom of the sea with all this gold many times."

"There are already quite a few SAM and KGB soldiers in the waters near Mindanao. They seem to be coming to reinforce the Monkey Peninsula on the other side. Meanwhile, they've had another conflict with Crocodile Country in the Western Hemisphere. I guess that's the reason. Anyway, I was really lucky to be able to bring this gold back this time."

Sam's squad leader John Fitzgerald had already made a speech to the world, exposing the hypocrisy of Khrueukin. The latter deceived John, which made John very angry. He demanded that Khrueukin withdraw the offensive weapons deployed in the Crocodile Country within a limited time.

Otherwise, there are consequences at your own risk!
This news is known to the whole world, and there are indeed many Sam's warships near the waters of Mindanao. The reason is very simple. It is related to the Monkey Peninsula and is directly related to the fact that Zhao Mancang razed the Sam base some time ago.

There was another reason, which was that Sam heard from somewhere that a lot of gold treasures had been dug up in Mindanao recently, and the people most likely to have dug up the gold were from the University of the East.

So Sam was very angry, because these gold treasures on Mindanao were Sam's spoils of war. Although those bastards Kimura did not disclose all of them to Sam, they were also Sam's property.

Dongda actually dared to come here to dig for gold. If they find evidence, they will definitely not let Dongda off easily.

"Since you know that the waters near Mindanao are so tense, why are you going there with so many enemies? Your safety is the most important thing."

Hearing the leader's words, Zhao Mancang smiled and shook his head, saying:
"I didn't want to go either, but the last time I came out, I just wanted to go and see our Jiaolong Army's First Squadron and check on their situation, but I didn't expect..."

After Zhao Mancang finished his explanation, the leader nodded with lingering fear. Fortunately, the former returned safely, otherwise, it would be hard to say what would happen next.

All we can say is that Zhao Mancang is a man blessed with great luck.

After returning to the city, Zhao Mancang stayed in the Lingjing Hutong office for more than half an hour, reported his work to other leaders, and was asked to chat with them. It was not until he was reminded by the staff that Zhao Mancang left tactfully.

The leaders are very busy with their work, and the fact that they can spend more than half an hour chatting with Zhao Mancang is enough to show how much they value him.

Nowadays, it is not only India on the other side of the plateau that is making moves, but something is happening in the Crocodile Kingdom as well. Although the Crocodile Kingdom seems to have nothing to do with us, it is actually very important.

After all, the relationship between Moscow and Sam, and whether a war will break out in the Crocodile Kingdom, will have a great impact on the subsequent world situation.

Zhao Mancang didn't care about all this. After coming out of Lingjing Hutong, he didn't go to Guozi Lane again, but returned to his home on Zhongguancun South Street.

Today is not a day off, Zhao Huijun has to go to school, but the house is still very lively because Xiao Taozi and other little kids are all here.

After seeing their father come back, the little kids pestered him again to draw the same panoramic picture-within-a-picture as he did last time, because it was so beautiful and they liked it so much.

It was also because the little kids from the neighborhood didn’t seem to believe it, and they also wanted to show off their father in front of their friends.

Zhao Mancang knew very well about the little kids' little thoughts, but he was too embarrassed to point it out to them.

"It's okay if you let me draw. You'll also have to recite the text later. Do you hear me?"

"heard it!"

The two children, Xiao Taozi and Xiao Baozi, answered loudly, because they were already three and a half years old, and memorizing was no longer a difficult task for them.

When they are at home, they can recite poems, songs and other articles by themselves.

After all, there are many children in the family, and it is easy for the little kids to fight and make noise when they get together. In order to separate them, Zhao Mancang can only ask them to recite and find something for them to do.

After staying at home for a few days, the end of October arrived as scheduled, and the fierce conflict in the Crocodile Country miraculously disappeared.

Simply put, it ended in a whimper.

The thing is, in the five days after John Fitzgerald's radio address, from the 23rd to the 27th, the global situation was tense to an almost unbearable level.

The shadow of nuclear war hangs over the entire Caribbean Sea, and the whole world is in danger.

On the 23rd, Khrushchev expressed his willingness to continue using weapons to aid the Crocodile Country in accordance with the agreement between Moscow and the Crocodile Country, and firmly rejected Sam's interception.

In the next few days, the Crocodile Kingdom was really "isolated" by Sam.

On the 26th, when the war was about to break out, Khrushchev actually wrote a letter to John that was described by the White House as "long, disorganized and rambling."

In this letter, Khrushchev stated that the offensive weapons in the Crocodile Kingdom were only defensive in nature. He, Khrushchev, longed for peace and hoped that John would withdraw those "isolation" measures to ensure that nothing would happen to the Crocodile Kingdom, so that the situation would not become out of control.

The next day, just before John replied, the White House received another letter that was even longer and more aggressive in official language.

Moscow stated that if it wanted them to withdraw these weapons from the Crocodile Country, then in exchange, Sam must also withdraw similar weapons from the Turkey Country.

The arrival of these two letters made John and other bigwigs extremely angry, and they racked their brains to think about how to solve this problem.

Because the eyes of the whole world are on them, and now it is Khrushchev and his men who have made the move. They want peace, they are just, and all the pressure is on Sam.

Just when everyone in the office didn't know what to do, John's brother Robert Francis had an idea:
"Why not ignore Khrushchev's second letter and reply only to the first?"

So Sam's reply to Khrushchev was that Sam only accepted the first letter, which was the proposal on the 26th.

When Khrushchev saw John's reply, he also realized that if Sam really "isolated" the Crocodile Country for a long time, the longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for Moscow.

And as the head of the KGB, Sholokhov has already obtained relevant intelligence information from Sam. If he does not reply to Sam the next day and agree to John's request, then Sam will definitely bomb the Crocodile Country.

In other words, continuing to delay means death.

And this loss is not something Khrushchev can afford.

So Khrushchev agreed to John's request that in order to eliminate this conflict that endangers the cause of peace as soon as possible, Moscow would withdraw all these offensive weapons.

At this point, the matter ended in a rather anticlimactic way.

Both John and Khrueugin were under great pressure because the whole world was paying attention to this matter and no one wanted a violent conflict to break out, as no one could afford the consequences.

Zhao Mancang was enjoying himself while reading the melon through the newspaper.

Throughout the whole incident, Khrushchev had it all his own fault and all his efforts were in vain.

On the other hand, Sam deployed those missiles in Turkey and no one knew about it. They were deployed for such a long time and were not discovered by the KGB until a long time later.

In other words, Sam's intelligence work was better, and the KGB's intelligence work was even worse.

Of course, through this incident, Khrushchev also realized that the bastard Sam had too many nuclear bombs, and they in Moscow had to catch up.

Therefore, Moscow will inevitably allocate more of its financial budget to "offensive weapons" and expand its arsenal of weapons and ammunition.

On the last day of October, after Sam Intelligence Agency resolved the crisis in Crocodile Country, they also needed to immediately deal with the two bombers and missiles that had been taken away by Zhao Mancang.

Just when Chambers, the director of the Sam Intelligence Agency, was personally following up on this matter, Zhao Mancang had already appeared at the Tianjin Wharf, and was trading with Ma Jiugong, Yuan Yushan and others under the identity of "Comrade Li".

"Comrade Ma, Comrade Yuan, thank you for fulfilling your mission. This is the cargo you requested. As usual, you inspect the two weapons while I examine your gold."

Zhao Mancang said with a smile, and his eyes seemed not to notice Sun Jiadong, Pan Houren and others beside Ma Jiugong.

The two parties have traded so many times that they should be very familiar with each other. There is no need to check the gold or anything like that.

But Zhao Mancang still believes that it is necessary and must be done.

It's very simple. Just count the money and goods in person to make sure they're both paid for and delivered. This will prevent any problems from arising later and affect the relationship, which would be unpleasant.

When counting the gold, Zhao Mancang noticed that today's experience value balance increased a little too fast, but he didn't look at it closely because it was not suitable now.

At this time, Sun Jiadong and others had been attracted by the missiles in front of them, as if they had seen a peerless beauty and could not take their eyes off them.

Not only Sun Jiadong, but also Zhao Jiuzhang, Guo Yonghuai, Lu Yuanjiu and other scientific researchers came.

Mainly because they heard that missiles would be delivered today and they needed professionals to check them.

hiss!
"Oh my god, are these really missiles shipped from Sam? This is so shocking! I actually got to see Sam's missiles in my lifetime. God has mercy on me."

For some reason, Zhao Jiuzhang and the others were very excited, and their ecstatic expressions already showed their mood at the moment.

On the side, Zhao Mancang, who had already counted the gold, watched with a smile but did not say a word.

He has had many transactions with people like Ma Jiugong, and he has also met many scientific researchers. He had met people like Zhao Jiuzhang when he delivered the equipment related to the atomic bomb.

Whether it is Zhao Jiuzhang or Guo Yonghuai, these scientific researchers are actually not researchers of a single scientific research project. They all need to be responsible for multiple projects.

Because the University of Tokyo at that time was seriously short of talent, the atomic bomb project, satellite project, nuclear submarine project, etc. all required the assistance of top scientific researchers.

Just like Sun Jiadong, he is not only responsible for projects such as missiles, but also for related projects such as rockets and satellites.

It's not easy for anyone, it's not easy for anyone.

"Comrade Ma, Comrade Yuan, how is it? When will you be able to recover?"

Hearing what Zhao Mancang said, Ma Jiugong and Yuan Yushan hurried over and whispered to the former.

After chatting for a while, Zhao Mancang suddenly asked, "By the way, do you need any other projects now? Let us know in advance so we don't have to spend time looking for them every time, which is quite troublesome."

Ma Jiugong and the others shook their heads repeatedly, but in their hearts they were madly complaining: What the hell are we looking for! What a hassle!

They still remember very clearly the previous transaction of the U2 Dragon Lady reconnaissance aircraft. They were quite shocked at the time. After all, they did not expect that they could really buy Sam's reconnaissance aircraft.

However, a few days later, they learned from their superiors that the two U-2s they had purchased were actually stolen from Jiangwan Airport.

The problem is that every time Comrade Li sold them equipment, food and other supplies, they were all very cheap. It seems that Comrade Li and his team were making a huge profit.

Who knows if the missiles this time were stolen by Comrade Li from Sam's house?

I just don’t know whether the leaders above can get the relevant intelligence clues this time. If they can, they will definitely be able to discover something.

It seems that there was such a crisis in the Crocodile Country this time. Although it was later proved to be a false alarm, the shadow cast in the past few days is no joke.

Seeing that Ma Jiugong and others refused, Zhao Mancang didn't take it seriously.

Even if they didn't mention it, others would definitely mention it. In any case, Zhao Mancang would definitely continue to gain experience points.

More than half an hour passed before the transaction was completed.

Not long after they separated, Zhao Mancang couldn't wait to check it out, and found that his experience value had increased quite a lot this time, more than 5,000, of which more than half was contributed by the more than 20 scientists including Sun Jiadong.

"Hiss, could it be that I opened it the wrong way before? I've seen them before, but never gained as much experience points as I did this time. What's going on?"

Zhao Mancang was really surprised. He was not sure what was going on, but this was definitely a good thing.

Unfortunately, he couldn't influence people like Sun Jiadong, because these people were very busy, and it was already very good to be able to come to Jincheng Wharf once or twice.

The next day, Zhao Mancang returned to Guozi Lane and found Wei Changyuan, Hu Baoshan and others.

"Old Wei, did that expert Sun come to see you?"

"Director Zhao, I haven't seen him. We only met last time. He seems to be very busy recently and has no time to pay attention to me. I have a lot of things to do myself."

"Haha, Old Wei, you might not know this, but the higher-ups have already approved it. I guess those missiles and satellites you've been worried about have already been obtained. It won't be long before the rocket can be launched."

After hearing what Zhao Mancang said, Wei Changyuan and the others immediately realized that this was a good thing. Maybe their satellite phone project could be advanced further.

"Okay, okay, thank you, Director Zhao. I'll contact Old Sun then."

After saying that, Wei Changyuan and the others left in a hurry.

After watching them leave, Zhao Mancang happily returned to the office next door with his hands behind his back. Wei Huayong was already waiting there.

"Old Wei, what are you so happy about?"

As soon as he entered the room, Zhao Mancang saw Wei Huayong grinning with joy. Isn't this a bit too happy? Since there is something happy, why not tell it out loud so that everyone can have fun together.

"It's still over in Tianzhu. They're still courting death."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mancang nodded repeatedly, and then urged Wei Huayong to talk more about this matter.

To be honest, Zhao Mancang's current position is indeed very high, but his network of contacts is still a little lacking. The leaders of the I-shaped building on Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street will definitely not chat with him about these gossips. On the contrary, the old leaders of Lao Wei and the like will chat about these gossips.

If Tianzhu wants to die, we will definitely help him.

There's not much to say about this matter, it all depends on how it ends.

But there is no way a fight can start for the time being, so even if Zhao Mancang eats melons, he can't eat much.

In the next few days, Zhao Mancang had some free time, and time quietly entered November. The wind blowing from Siberia became stronger and colder.

"Put on some clothes, put on an extra layer, and put this on to prevent your ears from getting frozen. Here's the vanishing cream, take it and apply it wherever there's dryness."

In the Zhao family's room on Zhongguancun South Street, Lin Wan was giving instructions, while the little kid Zhao Huijun nodded with a smile.

Zhao Mancang, who was standing by, was holding the little fat boy and watching this scene, teasing the little kid in his arms from time to time.

Xiao Taozi and the other children were playing on the ground. They had played the game of catching the sheep's crook many times, but they still seemed to be unable to do it well.

You can't ask too much of a two or three-year-old kid.

As the temperature in Beijing drops in November, it is necessary to wear more clothes, otherwise it is easy to get frostbite.

After breakfast, Zhao Mancang went to work. Lin Wan sat in the passenger seat, and the couple set off together.

Now that he was back, the task of picking up and dropping off Lin Wan naturally fell on him.

However, if he has other things to do, he will call the Grain Bureau and ask them to help with the pick-up and drop-off.

The car was heading towards the Grain Bureau. Lin Wan suddenly said on the way:
"Mancang, should we buy more cabbage this year? Xiao Hei's belly is already very big, and I'm afraid it won't be long before she gives birth. And my sister-in-law has also given birth."

Xiao Hei, the wolf-blue dog, is already pregnant. This is something Zhao Mancang did not expect. He has always thought that Xiao Hei would not give birth, but he did not expect that she would still get pregnant by other dogs.

I just don’t know which dog it is!
If the breed is not pure, Zhao Mancang doesn't want it. He only wants to raise a powerful dog, not a bad dog.

As for his sister-in-law Han Meimei, Zhao Mancang didn't know about her childbirth.

During the time he returned to the capital, although he seemed very relaxed, he spent most of his time focusing on his family or work, and rarely gossiped about other things.

There are five children in the family now, and they are enough to make people suffer.

"Yeah, no problem. Those third and fourth grade cabbages aren't worth much anyway, and there's no limit on the quantity you can buy. It's good to feed the chickens."

Zhao Mancang nodded and didn't take it to heart.

Every year, the capital city holds an activity to store cabbage for the winter. This year is 1962, and the area around the capital city is not that dry, so there will definitely be a lot of cabbage this year.

Chinese cabbage is graded. The best cabbage is grade one, and the next best is grade two. These two grades of cabbage are in limited supply.

On the contrary, there is no supply restriction on grade three and four cabbage, and the price is also lower.

For Zhao Mancang, these cabbages are just like that. Anyway, his family still hasn’t finished eating all the winter stored cabbages in April and May every spring.

Therefore, every year, a portion of the cabbage bought must be pickled into sauerkraut or dried and stored, because it can be stored for a longer time.

The winter cabbage storage activity began in early November. It seems that Zhao Mancang cannot escape this year. It seems that we will have to go to the street office together to queue up.

In Guozi Lane, Longxing Research Institute, Sun Jiadong and others actually showed up, coming here specifically to wait for Zhao Mancang.

"Director Zhao, thank you!"

When they saw Zhao Mancang coming in, Sun Jiadong and the others bowed and thanked him, because if it weren't for the former, they would never have seen the missiles from Sam's side.

Now the two missiles have been loaded onto the train and transported to the Northwest, and Sun Jiadong and his team are also about to go to the Northwest. They came here today to thank Zhao Mancang.

"Don't be so polite, really, you are too polite."

Zhao Mancang was embarrassed by their actions. "I just mentioned this matter to the leader. It's up to the leader to approve it or not. If you want to thank me, thank the leader, not me."

After hearing this, Sun Jiadong and the others still gave the credit to Zhao Mancang.

They are not fools. Their emotional intelligence may not be very high, but their IQ is definitely far beyond that of ordinary people.

Although some information about Zhao Mancang was concealed from Sun Jiadong and others, they did not know the full picture.

But they also knew why other people’s applications were not approved by the higher-ups, and why Zhao Mancang’s application was approved so quickly?

Even though they didn't know what Zhao Mancang had done behind the scenes, everyone had a scale in their hearts.

"Director Zhao, we are all aware of your thoughts. Please rest assured that we will do everything we can to launch the satellite as soon as possible and realize our synchronous orbit satellite plan as soon as possible."

Hearing the assurances from Sun Jiadong and others, Zhao Mancang smiled and nodded, saying yes repeatedly.

As long as these scientific researchers are willing to work hard, the launch of a synchronous orbit satellite will be just around the corner.

Of course, we must first take the step of launching low-Earth orbit satellites before we can launch satellites in other different orbits.

Rome was not built in a day, and Zhao Mancang naturally understands this principle. He just waits, because he is sure to win this time anyway.

In the afternoon, Wei Huayong came over and said, "Mancang, have you heard? There's a fight on the plateau."

"Really?"

Zhao Mancang's gossip fire suddenly ignited, his eyes shining:
"Did we defeat those idiots in Tianzhu?"

"of course?"

Seeing Wei Huayong's expression, Zhao Mancang also understood the general situation and could not help but grin and summarize:
"Haha, when we were poor, we loved to play tactical penetration the most. Now that we are a little richer, we just play firepower coverage, hehe."

There is a saying that goes, "If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world."

In fact, this sentence has been embodied in us. When we are in a difficult situation, we use tactics to insert tactics; when we are successful, we use firepower to crush the opponent.

Those big fools in India still think we are easy to bully and keep yelling at us every day. After this time, they will definitely be quiet for many years.

"Alas, what a pity, I can't get to the front line and witness it with my own eyes."

Hearing Zhao Mancang's sentiment, Wei Huayong rolled his eyes. "Why are you going to the front lines when you have nothing to do? Are you going to get scolded by the higher-ups?"

Although the situation on the plateau seems like we have beaten those people from Tianzhu to a pulp, that is a plateau area. Zhao Mancang has always lived in the plains. He would probably suffer from oxygen deprivation if he ran there.

Besides, what's so good about being on the front lines? War is brutal.

It is said that a general's success is built on the sacrifice of thousands of people. Zhao Mancang himself has killed many people, so he must not have forgotten these scenes, right?
"I've never fought such a big battle before. I'm just expressing my feelings. What? Can't you let me chat for a while?"

Zhao Mancang talked about what happened on the battlefield of Monkey Peninsula. When Wei Huayong heard it, he was also filled with emotion. It was clearly three years ago, but it felt like many years had passed.

Good time is fleeting and time makes us grow old!

"Old Wei, you're not old. Instead of spending time lamenting, you might as well go out and wander around more."

After chatting with Wei Huayong for a few words, Zhao Mancang left the office and prepared to go for a stroll around Jiaolong School.

Two more days passed, and the winter storage of cabbage officially began in Beijing. Zhao Mancang had just finished queuing and compacted the vegetable cellar at home when he received a notice: news came back from Africa that Tie Wanzhong and others needed support.

To be precise, the first team was sent over to provide support at the end of October. Unexpectedly, less than half a month had passed and they still hadn't resolved the problem.

"Old Wei, didn't the telegram say anything about the specific situation?"

In the office, Zhao Mancang looked at Wei Huayong seriously. He really didn't understand what situation Tie Wanzhong and his team had encountered. How come two teams, plus two logistics support teams, a total of forty people, couldn't take it?
Although Zhao Mancang couldn't believe his eyes, this was the fact before him and he had no choice but to believe it.

Since support is needed, Zhao Mancang has no choice but to provide it.

The second team is not in the capital, so Zhao Mancang has to go there in person to provide support, but he already has a rough guess in his mind.

If he remembered correctly, when he was in Morocco before, Tie Wanzhong and his team had told him to lead them to complete that mission.

They hope to take advantage of Zhao Mancang's luck and take the gold away from Africa.

The main reason was the power of Zhao Mancang's example, which stimulated people like Tie Wanzhong and others. They all hoped to bring back more gold and get first-class or special-class medals of honor.

For a soldier, there is nothing that makes them happier than receiving a medal like this.

"I'm going home. Lao Wei, please contact the base. I'll go from there."

The situation was urgent, so Zhao Mancang had to leave immediately. Fortunately, it would take some time for the base to prepare the plane. In addition, the base was in the suburbs, so he could drive there and go home at the same time. After all, it was in the same direction and on the way.

"Mancang, be careful and bring them all back safely."

"Well, that's for sure."

Zhao Mancang nodded, turned and left.

Every member of the Jiaolong Army is an elite among elites, and the loss of any one of them is an unbearable burden.

He went to the Grain Bureau first, as it was near Guozi Lane and not very far away. He briefly explained the situation to Lin Wan and hugged her while no one was around.

Lin Wan blushed shyly and said angrily, "We are already an old couple, why are you still hugging each other?"

"Haha, who says old couples can't hug each other? I'm leaving."

"Well, come back safely!"

After arriving home, Zhao Mancang briefly talked to Zhang Dongyue, hugged the little kids separately, and then left with his luggage.

The plane took off from the airport at the suburban base and arrived directly at Baiyun City, then transferred to Hong Kong and Kowloon, and then left from Hong Kong and Kowloon Kai Tak Airport.

After getting outside, Zhao Mancang became much more relaxed.

Coming from a cold high-latitude area to a place close to the equator, Zhao Mancang has adapted well to such environmental changes.

It was a day and a half later when the plane arrived in the scorching heat of northern Africa.

Next, he needs to go to the southern region, because Tie Wanzhong and his team are not here, but in the Oni gold mine in southern Africa.

This gold mine is very famous. It started mining gold as early as half a century ago, and more than 500 tons of gold were mined at that time.

Today, about 30 tons can still be mined every year.

However, due to the increasing difficulty of mining, the annual gold production has gradually declined and is far less than before.

In the past, the Oni gold mine was open-pit and very easy to mine, so the output was extremely high. But now it has been dug deep underground, and mining along the veins is of course much more difficult.

Even so, the Oni Gold Mine is still the place that many people want to occupy the most.

Tie Wanzhong and his team had no idea how they had offended the company behind the Oni Gold Mine, a mining company from Castile.

This mining company is considered a giant in southern Africa. It not only controls the Onyi Gold Mine, but also the Tautona Gold Mine, and they even have shares in large mines such as the Rand Central Gold Mine.

The Rand Central Gold Mine is the largest gold mine in southern Africa and also the largest gold mine in the world.

Why do you say that?

Because in 1970 in the original time and space, more than one thousand tons of gold were mined from the Rand Central Gold Mine every year.

What does one thousand tons of gold mean?
Based on the current gold price of US$38 per ounce, one thousand tons of gold is equivalent to US$1.34 billion.

IBM's market capitalization in 1970 reached approximately US$199 billion, with a profit of US$364 million that year.

IBM holds more than 80 percent of the market share in the U.S. computer industry.

But even so, such a great company is not as profitable as the Rand Central Gold Mine.

The most important thing is that the gold reserves of the Rand Central Gold Mine are still astonishing, so its potential far exceeds that of IBM.

Such an awesome mine will of course be divided up by other capital giants such as Sam, Great Britain, and Gallic Chicken.

Therefore, this mining company from Castile is able to occupy a certain share in the Rand Central Gold Mine. Even if the share ratio is small, it shows that it is really awesome.

When Zhao Mancang arrived at the Witwatersrand Basin in southern Africa, three and a half days had passed since Tie Wanzhong and his team sent a telegram requesting support.

After arriving at the basin, Zhao Mancang took out the telegraph and tried to contact Tie Wanzhong and others first.

He originally had no hope, but surprisingly, he actually contacted them.

After some communication, Zhao Mancang finally understood what situation they were facing.

It turned out that the Castile Mining Company sent two super teams with a total number of more than a thousand people, blocking them in the Wilkem Basin.

Two days ago, they were still near the Oni Gold Mine, but with the repeated advance of the two teams of the Castile Mining Company, Tie Wanzhong and his team had to move their position and then break through to Wilkem.

However, because of this breakout, six of them were injured.

For the Jiaolong Army, getting injured is something very difficult to accept. Because of the injury, they are likely to quit the Jiaolong Army and go to the Jiaolong School to be instructors.
