Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 271: Massive Acquisitions and Accidental Casualties
In June 1964, the election for squad leader on Sam's side had already begun, or rather, the competition within the Elephant and Donkey parties had already begun earlier.

As Sam's squad leader, Lyndon Johnson was the candidate of the Donald Trump Party. There was no doubt about that, and no one could be more competitive than him, so there was no need to vote, just go through the process.

On the other side, the situation inside the elephant is very intense, but it is only relatively speaking. In any case, the outside world is not very clear about the specific behind-the-scenes rules and underground transactions.

After entering June, the candidate for squad leader within the Elephants emerged, Morris Goldwater from Arizona.

Morris, a former major general in the Air Force Reserve, was regarded as a spiritual figure of the conservative movement after 1960.

Well, Sam's characteristic is that there have always been many different movements in this era, such as environmental protection, anti-war, animal protection and so on, and there is also the more famous movement expert Martin Luther King.

Lyndon Johnson was not too worried about Morris Goldwater, but he did not underestimate him either. After all, the election was approaching, so he just had to give it his all.

Zhao Mancang doesn't pay much attention to this matter, because it doesn't matter who is elected to him.

According to the course of history, it was inevitable that Lyndon Johnson would become the new squad leader, so Zhao Mancang just arranged for Dogana I Sullivan, Randolph Daniel, Donald Elliott and other relevant company leaders to directly invest in Lyndon Johnson.

The latter person is someone who knows how to repay kindness, so it is better to invest in him.

On the other hand, Zhao Mancang also asked Randolph Daniel and others to invest in those future squad leaders one after another, starting from this time, and the investment was not small.

For example, George Bush, the second-generation rich man, was born in 1946 and is only 18 years old now, but he has already been included in the list of Randolph Daniel and others.

As for his father, George Herbert, he was also on the list, as well as James Carter, Richard Milhouse and others.

However, Richard Milhouse had already served as deputy monitor before. Although he lost the competition with John Fitzgerald before, he still did not continue to participate this year.

But this man had been working hard for Morris Goldwater, hoping to defeat Lyndon Johnson.

Zhao Mancang knew very well that Richard Milhouse would not run for class monitor again until the next term and would succeed in one fell swoop.

So at this time, Richard Millhouse was actually already a big shot, and the investment of Randolph Daniel and others was dispensable to him.

However, this time the other party is willing to help Morris Goldwater, so Randolph Daniel and others will definitely help.

This is betting on both sides, but it needs to be done in secret and cannot be done casually.

Sam's election is just a game for the rich and a show for show. It is completely a show to fool the audience. Zhao Mancang certainly has no interest in it.

In the western suburbs of Los Angeles, California, in the world-famous Hollywood, Zhao Mancang appeared here to prepare for the next acquisition.

The Sam movie market was in a slump in the 1950s and 1960s. The reason was very simple: the popularity of television had a huge impact on the film market, and Hollywood's political purges, economic factors and changes in audience demand ultimately led to all this.

In other words, now is the best time to invest in a Hollywood film company.

Bruce Lee starred in the TV series "The Green Hornet" after signing a contract with 20th Century Fox the next year. This was because the Sam film industry was really depressed at that time, and the film and television production industry had to choose to produce TV series, which was a more profitable industry. It was also a last resort.

As I mentioned before, this year, one-third of all households in the United States own a color TV, while a few years ago, two-thirds of households already owned a TV.

Although this is a transition period between black and white televisions and color televisions, the popularity of televisions is an indisputable fact. Many families spend five hundred to one thousand US dollars to buy a color TV. They don't buy it as a decoration at home, but will definitely turn it on and watch it every day.

Otherwise, wouldn’t the money be wasted?

"Boss, this is the situation at Paramount Pictures."

Randolph Daniel was introducing the situation of Paramount Pictures to Zhao Mancang. The company was in a bad state now and was far inferior to its peak in the 1930s.

In the 1930s, Paramount was a star-studded company, with signed stars including Mae West, Marlene Dietrich, the three Marx brothers, Bing Crosby, Gary Cooper and Claudette Colbert. However, because it was too powerful, it was targeted by the antitrust authorities.

It was not until 1948 that Paramount Pictures was used as a typical precedent by the Federal Supreme Court to prohibit major Hollywood companies from vertically operating production, distribution and projection businesses. As a result, Paramount Pictures was forced to sell a number of cinemas.

At this point, Paramount, the old Hollywood giant, was severely damaged and experienced a large loss of moviegoers in the 1950s, and thus fell to the bottom.

In other words, now is definitely the best time to acquire Paramount, there will never be a better time.

"Well, make an appointment with Adolf Zucker. If he's willing to let go, then we can acquire this company."

Zhao Mancang nodded after hearing this, and then continued to look at the next company, and his eyes fell on the film company 20th Century Fox.

Starting in 1948, the eight major Hollywood giants, Paramount, Warner Bros., MGM, 20th Century Fox, RKO, Universal, Columbia and United Artists, were forced to give up their control over cinemas. Coupled with the popularization of television in the 1950s, both Paramount and MGM fell from grace.

However, 20th Century Fox, under the leadership of its head Darryl Zanuck, seemed calm in the face of danger. They tried to seize the initiative in the market with innovative film technology and themes, so they launched the classic science fiction film "The Day the Earth Stood Still".

Unfortunately, the huge waves of market downturn are sweeping in. This is the general trend and is completely unstoppable.

After 1956, Darryl Zanuck announced his retirement because of a scandal. Last year, in 1963, 20th Century Fox invested a huge amount of money in the epic blockbuster "Cleopatra", but only recovered 26 million US dollars.

It's a double crit!

Therefore, 1964 was definitely the best time to invest in this company.

Now we have selected two film production companies, Paramount and 20th Century Fox. If we can make every effort to win them over, that would be the best result. If not, we can only wait a little longer.

A week later, Paramount, the former overlord, chose to compromise, but the acquisition process was not that simple, so it took time to complete the review, especially for Hollywood film companies, which were not easy to deal with, and of course a detailed investigation of every detail was required.

Zhao Mancang was not too worried. After all, Mayflower Media Group came from New York. It was a media company with experts in legal and financial affairs. It was not afraid of Paramount's bullying at all.

20th Century Fox still wants to struggle because they think they can still save it.

Seeing this, Zhao Mancang did not hesitate. He turned around and put on another vest, arranged for the person in charge of the company under that vest to form an acquisition team, and then quickly raised the price by 10% and acquired 20th Century Fox.

It is impossible for Warner Bros. Studios to be acquired because it is a listed company. As early as 1956, Jack Warner had completely controlled it through black market and became the largest shareholder of the company.

Unless Zhao Mancang is willing to pay a huge price, it would be basically impossible to acquire Warner Bros. Pictures.

The same situation is the Walt Disney Company. The founder of this company, Walt Disney, is not dead yet. It is indeed unlikely that Zhao Mancanghe will acquire this company at this time.

If he really wanted to acquire the company, Zhao Mancang thought he would take it slow. After all, the Sam Cinema market would not rise until the 1970s, so there was no need to rush.

Next up was Columbia Pictures, which had been surviving the crisis by selling its old films to television stations and producing television films for them through its subsidiary Screen Curiosities.

So although Columbia Pictures was having a hard time, it was much better than other companies like Paramount.

Universal Pictures successfully recovered after producing Spartacus in 1960, so relatively speaking, it is not the most cost-effective company.

There is also MGM, the former Hollywood film giant. Zhao Mancang immediately set his sights on it, but the shareholders behind this company are stubborn old men, so he can only arrange for his subordinates to do the slow and steady work.

There is no rush anyway. There are still several years between now and the 1970s. Let's see who can outlast whom.

In the coming time, the cheaper televisions from the University of Tokyo will be available in Sam's Club. By then, the popularity of televisions in the United States will be even higher, and the entire television market will be in a fierce competition.

Once more televisions become popular across the United States, it will be a fatal blow to Sam's film and television industry.

In addition, after Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox were acquired, both companies will focus most of their time and energy on TV series production. This is the best time to incorporate Kung Fu movie production methods into them.

Since July, three Hollywood giants, Paramount, 20th Century Fox and Universal Pictures, have been successfully acquired one after another.

Zhao Mancang called them all together for meetings, and the solution he gave to Paramount Pictures was to shoot gangster movies like "The Godfather", the Chicago gang, the Italian Godfather family, the unique criminal group, etc., mainly kung fu movies with real punches.

Of course, guns and ammunition are also added, and directors are hired with high salaries to participate in the production of such films. In particular, a large number of Chinese people are hired directly from Hong Kong Island and Taiwan Island to come here to participate in the filming of the films.

Because these movies require a lot of kung fu routines, but the style is more fierce, emphasizing the kind of fierce style that kills with one blow.

In addition, Zhao Mancang also brought out spy movies and directly gave several scripts.

In other words, for a long time to come, Paramount will directly refer to these film scripts for production, innovate in film technology, and just tell a good story.

But it was different for 20th Century Fox. The film script that Zhao Mancang gave to this company was about a white man becoming an apprentice at a Chinese martial arts school. Although it was also a kung fu movie, it was different.

It will also involve criminal groups such as Dupin. In any case, the final villain boss will definitely be the evil forces that everyone hates, or people like the mayor who are in collusion with the evil forces.

However, most of the plots of this type of movie are about white people who were bullied since childhood, and then entered Chinese martial arts schools to learn martial arts, or even went to the mainland to study. The historical background is mainly World War II, which is also a familiar background to everyone.

The film's plot also incorporates real history, such as Kimura's invasion of the University of Tokyo.

After the white man returns from the University of the East after learning martial arts, he will go back to Sam and kill people. The plot of this type of movie is very simple, but if it is filmed well, the box office will not be bad.

It is also very popular for TV series adaptation.

Anyway, some of the scenes needed for filming can be used in Chinatown. Even if that doesn't work, Zhao Mancang can invest hundreds of millions of dollars to build a Chinese movie city directly in Los Angeles.

Such a film studio is certainly a loss-making business in this era, but Zhao Mancang doesn't care about money at all, and it is easy for him to recover the cost.

So he is not afraid of losing money on his investment.

In addition to this type of film, there are also kung fu films that try to use Chinese as the protagonist, or white Chinese as the protagonist, involving historical backgrounds such as the Republic of China and the Qing Dynasty, and even directly linking characters such as Huo Yuanjia and Huang Feihong.

Or they could just shoot an ancient Kung Fu movie, in which the white man plays the role of the little prince of a Western state, so that the audience can feel involved.

For example, movies like "The Great Wall" in later generations would definitely be a terrible movie in China, but they are actually okay abroad. It's just that there are too many Chinese people in this kind of movie, which makes it difficult to adapt to the local environment.

Especially at the time of 1964, which was not yet the Internet era under the great wave of economic globalization, many local Sam people still had the impression of the Chinese people stuck in the past.

So that needs to change.

It's like boiling a frog in warm water, so take your time.

The last one is Universal Pictures. This company gets relatively more scripts. In addition to the elements of kung fu movies, most of them are science fiction films.

Even science fiction films still incorporate many elements of Chinese culture.

In addition to science fiction films, there are also feature films, musicals, horror films, etc., especially horror films, which are definitely a typical example of making a big profit with a small investment.

In this era, the visual impact of this kind of plasma film on ordinary people is incomparably powerful, so as a result, money can be made even faster.

However, even in a slasher film, horror elements such as zombies and vampires can still be incorporated, so there are too many scripts to explore.

Paramount, 20th Century Fox and Universal Pictures will not give up the production of TV series while producing movies. After all, this is the era dominated by televisions.
After making arrangements for the entire Hollywood, it was already mid-July.

Having spent more than a month, almost two months, at Sam's, it was definitely a relatively long time, and he was still dealing with business-related work. It was indeed a rare experience for Zhao Mancang.

However, he still couldn't leave Sam's territory, because Zou Xinmin, Shen Gengnian and their team came here to carry out a mission and contacted him, hoping he could provide help.

Zhao Mancang didn't know what mission the first team came here to perform, because he left the capital in April and more than three months have passed now. Of course, he didn't know the specific task arrangements.

When they arrived at the city of Del Rio in Texas south of Sam, Zhao Mancang took out the walkie-talkie, adjusted it to a specific channel, and then checked the slogans in two different local dialects, and then conducted other identity checks, and only then did he determine their current location.

When you go out, it is inevitable to be cautious. Zou Xinmin and his team came here to carry out a secret mission, not to travel, so their whereabouts are kept extremely confidential.

Once the location is leaked, danger will come quietly, so Zhao Mancang has very strict requirements for the Jiaolong Army, especially in terms of identity verification, and he is absolutely cautious.

There are not many members in the Jiaolong Army, and no one has been arrested, so there is no possibility of anyone knowing their internal identities and slogans.

Even leaders like Wei Huayong and Gu Haidong don’t know how to verify this kind of slogan.

Zhao Mancang drove to Rock Springs Farm outside Del Rio. Since he was still in disguise as Sam the White, he was discovered by Sha Yongping and Zheng Siyuan, two members of the Jiaolong Army who were hiding in the dark and responsible for defense, as soon as he arrived.

Fortunately, Zhao Mancang kept the intercom on, so they could communicate in real time, so there was not much problem.

"Old Zhao?"

"It's me, Xiao Zheng, come out. I saw you. I've taught you many times how to hide. Can you be more serious? You haven't even disguised yourself properly. It's too sloppy for you to carry out the mission like this. And the guy next to you, judging by this habit, should it be Sha Yongping? You're a little better, but not much better."

Zhao Mancang held the walkie-talkie and lightly stepped on the accelerator. The car was moving slowly, but his eyes were fixed on the location of Sha Yongping and Zheng Siyuan.

Sha Yongping and Zheng Siyuan were stunned for a moment and looked at each other, but they still walked out and did not hide in the dark anymore. There was no way they could do anything as they had been seen through by their leader Zhao Mancang.

"Get in the car and take me to your captain. What's going on with Old Zou and Old Shen? Why did you suffer so many casualties this time? If I hadn't happened to be in Sam, wouldn't someone have to quit the Jiaolong Army this time?"

After seeing the two of them, Zhao Mancang started to scold them angrily, saying, to be honest, the Jiaolong Army's configuration in all aspects and the physical fitness of its personnel are definitely among the best in the world.

Although injuries are inevitable during the execution of missions, such serious casualties are indeed very rare.

Soon, the car arrived inside the farm. Shen Gengnian and three other seriously injured team members were lying flat in the room. The smell of disinfectant was very strong. Zou Xinmin and others were standing or sitting with sad faces, and most of their energy had been lost.

After seeing this scene, Zhao Mancang couldn't vent his anger even though it was on the tip of his tongue. He decided to save the people first. "Chief Zhao, I..."

When Zou Xinmin saw Zhao Mancang, who had taken off his disguise, appear in front of him, he immediately stood up, his eyes red and sobbing, but he didn't know what to say when the words came to his lips, because the latter had already waved his hand to tell him not to speak.

"I'll tell you what I want to say after I've seen them."

"Thank you, leader!"

Sun Weimin, Qin Dahai, Lu Wenlong and others thanked him repeatedly, but Zhao Mancang ignored them and started performing surgery on Shen Gengnian and others.

The most seriously injured person was Shen Gengnian. His left shoulder was almost broken and covered with rotten flesh. If the bomb had hit a little more to the side, he would have died on the spot.

It seems that the opponent they met this time was very powerful, definitely a master among masters.

Zhao Mancang remained silent and began to work. A few silver needles fell, sealing all of Shen Gengnian's senses, then he took out a scalpel and started the operation.

More than two hours later, he completed the operation at an extremely fast speed, but it was only for Shen Gengnian, and there were three remaining injured people.

It took more than six hours for him to complete the surgery on four people.

After finishing his work, he looked at Zou Xinmin and the others and asked for details.

It turned out that they had indeed encountered a tough opponent this time. Their mission this time was to kill people, mainly because someone had sniped and killed five middle and senior management personnel of Jiaolong Foreign Trade Company.

After investigation, it was found that the Predator Mercenary Group had accepted the sniper mission, so the Jiaolong Army carried out a counterattack mission. By the way, it was found that the mastermind behind the sniper mission to the Predator Mercenary Group was actually an arms dealer from California, Mayne Lillard.

Mayne Lillard is not in California, but has come to a ranch in Texas, where he has a bodyguard from the special forces.

Because Zou Xinmin and his team did not investigate thoroughly, they thought that Maine Lillard was just an ordinary arms dealer and that the more than 500 bodyguards around his farm were just ordinary bodyguards. However, they never expected that these were elites from special forces such as the Delta Force and the Navy SEALs.

The most important thing is that these are all selected powerful characters, half of whom are active special forces soldiers.

The specific situation is not very clear. Why were there so many special forces in this farm? However, Zou Xinmin and his team of ten were surrounded and beaten.

If it weren't for the ten people from the logistics force who provided support and heavy firepower bombing, Zou Xinmin and his men were rescued. Otherwise, the annihilation of the entire army would have been the inevitable result.

At this time, the advantage of unity and cooperation between the two teams Zhao Mancang brought out was reflected. The appearance of the logistics support force was definitely the most important support for Zou Xinmin and other advance teams.

The leading communication advantage of walkie-talkies is also a major technical advantage. Otherwise, Zou Xinmin and his team would not be able to send support messages to the logistics team.

"You're just trying to save a little bit of information consultation fees and then want to get yourself buried by Sam, right?"

After hearing this, Zhao Mancang couldn't help but say angrily, this is simply outrageous. It's outrageous to the extreme.

Information consultation fees are inevitable expenses, because if you are not able to have sufficient understanding of the mission objectives in an unfamiliar place, it is bound to lead to the possibility of mission failure.

However, the reason why this happened to Zou Xinmin and his team this time was actually because the team leader Zou Xinmin was unwilling to pay the information consulting fee of five million US dollars, which led to this result.

Because the people who provided them with the information asked for a sky-high price of five million US dollars, the angry Zou Xinmin and others were unwilling to pay the money. After all, it was not easy for the Jiaolong Army to make money, so they wanted to save as much as possible.

But I never expected that the arms dealer Maine Lillard would be so fierce.

After being scolded by Zhao Mancang, Zou Xinmin and others immediately lowered their heads in shame and chose to remain silent.

"Money is a bastard. If we lose it, we can earn it again. Five million dollars is a lot of money, but have you ever thought about why they offered such a high price? Have you ever considered whether this is a trap?"

Zhao Mancang looked at them with dismay and scolded them harshly:
"Four brothers are lying in there now. Are you happy? This is the first time since the establishment of our Dragon Army that we've suffered so many casualties, right? Although no one died, how many of them do you think will be able to recover and continue fighting this time?"

"And this time there's even a vice-captain lying in there. I really don't know what to say to you guys."

"Alright, stop being such little women. Go get me some information right now. I'm going to get revenge no matter what. Otherwise, I'm not going to be able to swallow this."

To him, the Jiaolong Army was founded by him, and it was like his own child. Now that it was being bullied, and bullied so badly, if he didn't fight back, he would definitely be unable to bear it.

Fortunately, no one died this time, otherwise Zhao Mancang would have wanted to kill someone.

After hearing what Zhao Mancang said, Zou Xinmin, Sha Yongping, Qin Dahai and others nodded excitedly and immediately took action.

After Zhao Mancang came here, they already had a backbone. In addition, they also knew that Zhao Mancang was extremely capable, so they were extremely confident that this time he would be able to avenge Shen Gengnian and others and complete the mission.

After Zou Xinmin left, Zhao Mancang asked the remaining two, Lu Wenlong and Cai Jiahang, "Do you know why this arms dealer named Mayne Lillard is targeting the five middle and senior management personnel of our Jiaolong Foreign Trade Company? Are Ye Guangmin and Sun Zhonghan safe?"

In fact, Zhao Mancang had guessed it without asking, it must be a business conflict.

After all, Mayne Lillard is an arms dealer, so he must be selling arms worldwide. But at this point, shouldn't he be selling his arms directly to the Monkey Peninsula? Why is he going to Africa? And it seems like he's doing quite a bit of arms business there.
"Leader, the truth is, when we received our mission, we were told that Jiaolong Foreign Trade Company had been attacked numerous times, almost continuously for several months. Not only did they lose five mid- and senior-level managers, but they also lost a number of local Chinese employees."

When talking about this, Lu Wenlong and Cai Jiahang became very angry and spoke indignantly.

After all, to be honest, Jiaolong Foreign Trade Company is their own company. Why can Maine and Lillard sell goods there, but others can't?

Since we have to rely on fists to decide the outcome in the end, let’s just go for it head-on.

"Okay, I understand. Let's deal with things here first. I'll think of a solution after we get back."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mancang rubbed his temples and indeed had a headache.

He knew that there would definitely be risks in the arms trade. It hadn't appeared before, but now that he was caught, a huge storm immediately came. This matter could be big or small, and must be taken seriously.

Therefore, Maine Lillard must die. If he doesn't die, there will definitely be more troubles in the future.

The next day, Zou Xinmin and his team got back the information that Maine Lillard had left his farm, but there was no way of knowing where he had gone.

And there are a lot more people on that farm now, as many as a thousand, so it is even more difficult to retaliate.

The most crucial thing is that now Sam's gang, both in the black and white circles, are looking for Zou Xinmin and his group. If it weren't for their good disguise skills, they might have been discovered when they went out to look for information this time.

The current situation is indeed a bit troublesome. There are farms with thousands of people, arms dealers who have disappeared, and Foboles and gangsters everywhere outside. What should we do?
After confirming the news, Zhao Mancang frowned. It seemed that Maine Lillard should still be on that farm, but this guy was smart enough to know the trick of creating confusion.

But even if they guessed that the other party was still hiding on the farm, would Zhao Mancang and the others dare to enter this dangerous place?
There are thousands of elite special forces. No matter how strong the Jiaolong Army is, they dare not confront such elite forces head-on.

What?

After thinking for a while, Zhao Mancang felt that he should go to the vicinity of the farm to gather some information. He had to confirm that Maine Lillard was there.

When they heard that he wanted to go alone to investigate the news, Zou Xinmin and the others' faces changed drastically, and they all said that they should come.

However, Zhao Mancang glared at them and said, "Your abilities are not good enough. You need more practice. I can go by myself. If you come with me, I will have to take care of you. So, take care of the house. I will be back soon."

After hearing what Zhao Mancang said, Zou Xinmin and the others were completely speechless and felt extremely ashamed.

The order has been given, and they must execute it even if they are unwilling. After all, this is military discipline, and obeying orders is their first duty.

Soon, Zhao Mancang drove away from this farm and was about to head to the large farm where Maine Lillard was.

There are many farms in Texas, including many large farms, but they are still a long way from the Rock Springs Farm where Zhao Mancang and his team are.

At San Saba Farm outside Austin, Zhao Mancang arrived near the destination farm. He did not go directly to the farm, but first inquired about the situation there.

After learning about the farm through the local underworld in Austin, Zhao Mancang disguised himself and headed to the farm.

The farm is very large, with thousands of beef cattle raised and many crops grown, all of which are used as camouflage to cover up the special forces.

Although Zhao Mancang didn't know why he did this, his intuition told him that this farm was definitely not simple.

With so many farms involved in planting and breeding, there would of course be cowboys, so Zhao Mancang found the father of one of the cowboys, disguised himself, and came to the farm.

When they arrived near the farm, since outsiders were not allowed to enter, Zhao Mancang stood at the door very obediently and asked someone to notify the cowboy to come out.

After all, he is Cowboy's father. The two ordinary guards at the door did not notice anything wrong. Who made Zhao Mancang, the "father", look so sad? It must be that something happened at home.

Nearly half an hour later, the cowboy appeared, and then Zhao Mancang took the cowboy into the car. After a while, the cowboy slept quietly in the car, while Zhao Mancang disguised himself as a cowboy and returned to the farm.

"Pete, is there something wrong with your family?"

The guard at the door saw the 'cowboy's' sad face and asked with concern, but the 'cowboy' just nodded silently, without the previous cheerful look.

"Then go ask your supervisor for leave."

In this way, Zhao Mancang successfully entered the farm.

The farm was indeed very large, with many crops such as corn planted there, as well as a large amount of pasture grass such as alfalfa and ryegrass. It looked very beautiful.

Zhao Mancang also owns a large number of farms in Tuao, Sam's and other places, and of course he understands the role of these forage grasses.

Take alfalfa for example, it is a perennial legume forage grass, an excellent forage plant, and can also be used as green manure, earning it the title of 'king of forage grasses'.

It is such a waste that such a large and good farm is used as a military training base.

After entering the farm, Zhao Mancang did not follow the rules, but wandered around aimlessly in a sad mood.

But the farm is quite large, and it would take a long time to walk around it or ride a horse.

However, Zhao Mancang's destination was very simple, which was to roughly check the approximate location of the military training base before he would start the insect drone.

Insect drones are very powerful, but their endurance is certainly not comparable to those of real drones, and their range is greatly limited.

After a while, Zhao Mancang finally locked onto the destination. Then he hid himself, started the insect drone, and began reconnaissance.

It must be said that insect drones have the advantage of being more naturally concealed in places like farms, and can better detect more detailed information.

In a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, this is the innermost part of the farm. This place has been blocked by a large amount of plants outside the farm, and there are tall trees as natural barriers. It is difficult for outsiders to see what is going on inside.

After passing the woods, you can see the training ground inside, which is indeed very different.

"I can see hundreds of people in just a short while. There are indeed thousands of special forces here. It seems that Mayne Lillard is definitely still hiding here. Let me look for you and see where you are hiding."

Talking to himself, Zhao Mancang controlled the insect drone and entered several buildings in the valley, and began to check the situation there one by one.

After checking three or four rooms in a row, he still couldn't find Maine Lillard. Just when he thought that the man was not there, the next room the insect drone entered found the target person.

At this time, the target person was in a meeting, and the topic of discussion was related to Jiaolong Foreign Trade Company.

"We can't stop the business in Africa. We have to send more people there this month. That company called Jiaolong actually dared to steal our business. We must deal with them the next time we see them."

"The Plunderer Mercenaries are also useless. They actually sold my information to those devils. If I hadn't happened to be here this time, I might have gone to see God."

Maine Lillard is very scared, which is why he is hiding here and deliberately creating confusion.

The news that spread to the outside world was that he had left the farm and his whereabouts were unknown.

Then he secretly notified more than 500 special forces from outside to come back, making the farm even more impregnable.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that Zhao Mancang had already set his sights on him.

However, it is not so easy to complete the assassination mission here. There are too many people around. Zhao Mancang may not even get close to the target, and he will probably have to face thousands of special forces.

Special forces are not ordinary soldiers. These people from the Delta Force and the Navy SEALs are the elite among the elites. Each of them is very powerful and highly vigilant. Zhao Mancang's idea of ​​sneaking up on the target person is pure wishful thinking.

No matter what, Zhao Mancang must act with caution.

The insect drone landed on the beam and stopped steadily. Zhao Mancang looked at Maine, Lillard and others, and began to think about how to kill this person.

If a missile could be launched, this valley would be razed to the ground in an instant.

But we must ensure that Maine Lillard is really killed. Otherwise, if we just kill those special forces, then it will be a mission failure for Zhao Mancang.

After thinking carefully for a while, I realized that it was impossible to throw missiles here because this is Sam. It would be too difficult to launch missiles within their territory.

Apart from launching missiles, the only other methods Zhao Mancang could think of were other more ingenious means.
