Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 2071 He Disappeared, the Country That Does Not Exist
There are many things that Ji Donglai cannot explain, and it is difficult for people of this era to understand. Although it is only a few years, the world pattern in a few years will become unrecognizable to everyone.

Leave everything to Hu Xinyu, Ji Donglai continues to look for a breakthrough, David!
"Carlisle, please help me find David. I've been looking for this person for a long time. He doesn't reply to my messages and I can't get through on the phone. I need to cooperate with him on some business."

Currently, David is the only one who is familiar with the business in Turkey. When Ji Donglai communicated with the other party before, David said in person that the other party had a lot of business in Turkey.

Throughout the Middle East and North Africa, each other is the focus of development. After a long period of cooperation, trust is established between each other, and it takes a long time to build trust with a second person.

"Why don't you change someone? This guy is a bit troublesome recently, my friend! He is too greedy and not as simple as you think. We just need to make the money we need. Anyway, you are not short of money now, right?"

Hearing David's name, Claire took a puff of her cigar.

Now Carlisle was just waiting for the troops to withdraw, and the other party didn't bother to care about the rest. As for David, in the eyes of the other party, he was just a leech who was never satisfied.

The other party wants to do all kinds of business, but he is more greedy.

"Help me find him. I hope to cooperate with him. We can still make money together in some businesses!"

After so many years, Ji Donglai knew David's character very well. Carlisle asked Ji Donglai to wait for an hour, then sent Ji Donglai the name of a businessman and provided a coordinate.

Ji Donglai has an impression of this person. He is in Chittagong. He is engaged in the import and export of agricultural products. In recent years, Yiyuan Ranch has cooperated with him in many projects in Saudi Arabia.

When the businessman saw Carlisle's message, he immediately arranged an itinerary for Ji Donglai and others.

"We have to hire an escort team of 80 people. We can only take you to Popera and pick you up half a month later. Somali blue is a special existence. You have to rely on your luck when you get ashore. Someone will pick you up!"

The businessman explained to Ji Donglai and a few others over the phone, and Ran Bo's hair stood on end.

Just by listening to the name, you can tell how dangerous it is. This country is located on the coast of the Red Sea, adjacent to Djibouti and Somalia. Somali Blue and Somalia have been fighting a civil war for 20 years and have just stopped fighting.

It stands to reason that this place must not be visited, but Ji Donglai had made the decision, and Ran Bo had to obey. With one phone call, the recruitment of an 80-man escort team was completed.

Many of them are soldiers who escaped from Somalia. People from the two countries are basically indistinguishable from each other in appearance. Their skin is pure black, as black as shoe polish, and as dark and shiny as that.

Everyone was sitting lazily on the off-road vehicle with AK in their arms.

Ji Donglai and his group sat in the car, followed the cargo ship used to transport livestock across the Red Sea, and went directly to Popera. The customs inspection here was not strict, and the merchants gave local currency.

Ran Bo simply threw the bag at the other party's feet. The other party measured it with both hands, too lazy to count, and then took out a stack of currency from it and handed it to Ran Bo. That was the end of the tax collection.

According to Ran Bo's habit, he gave the other party US dollars. The businessman repeatedly emphasized that he must not give US dollars, otherwise he would be defined as a super rich person and would be in serious danger.

The car drove southeast all the way, guided by three cars.

Entering this land, all the guards immediately stopped being relaxed and everyone began to tense up. Ran Bo noticed that the security captain this time asked everyone to open the safety of their guns, even the bullet boxes of the heavy machine guns were all opened.

For the sake of spirit, many people chew a local tea called Chat leaf, which can successfully refresh the mind with just a few chews.

The road here is winding, and the surrounding area is flat with few plants. "Why don't you just go straight over there instead of going around in circles?"

Unable to bear the shaking of the car, Ji Donglai pointed to the flat land on the left and right and asked the translator to ask the local guide.

"Absolutely not. The mines here are as dense as the quills on a warthog. After twenty years of war, there are mines upon mines. One wrong move could lead to meeting Allah."

"This road was paved by many people with their lives, so you have to go this way, unless you want to commit suicide, you have to go this way, and the local drivers do the same."

The guide was explaining with great gestures, and Ji Donglai's hair stood on end. He cursed David inwardly, why would this bastard come to such a remote place?
A country not recognized by the United Nations, the debris of war is everywhere. No one dares to move the burned cars because they don't know if there are any mines buried nearby.

So although many people in this country are very poor, no one wants to make a fortune by picking up scrap metal, even if it means being a loader for a few dollars a day.

Drivers on the road drive very cautiously. In narrow places, drivers would rather reverse than try to drive to the side of the road, as everyone is worried about sudden landmines.

They are basically second-hand trucks from Europe and the United States. You don’t even need to honk the horn to know a car is coming. The clanging sound of sheet metal hitting each other is much more useful than a horn.

"Drip drip drip..."

The truck driver behind kept honking his horn and the convoy slowly pulled over.

A truck rushed past at lightning speed, and Ji Donglai was confused.

"This is a truck that's transporting khat leaves. It must arrive as soon as possible, otherwise the khat leaves will not be fresh and cannot be sold at a good price! This is the most important pastime for ordinary people in this poor country. Your friend David also did this business, but he didn't continue and was arrested by Abdul."

"As a businessman, he is too bold. Tungsten ore is Abdul's most important means of exchanging for arms, and yet he dared to try it. I hope you are not like that!"

The guide looked at Ji Donglai's profile, and Ji Donglai pouted, thinking to himself, "I want to do this in China, okay?" However, this black gold is the most sought-after thing in the world now.

Gun barrels and various burners must be made of alloys of this expensive metal. Ji Donglai is at the maintenance station in Biraefas Port, and the welding rods used to weld gun barrels are all made of this alloy material.

It's about to explode...

"Fuck!"

Ji Donglai was confused, with several pieces of information colliding in his mind. Ji Donglai opened his eyes and cursed David and his gang of warmongers inwardly for being disgusting.

The other side might know about the upcoming Russia-Ukraine conflict. Tungsten itself is a rare metal. In this war, tungsten will be the most core material.

There is also the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and endless consumption, so tungsten ore will definitely rise sharply. In some countries, tungsten ore has been controlled as a strategic reserve resource, and this is also the case in China.

David's grandson has obviously set his sights on this area, but with the opponent's strength, he will not be caught at all. There is only one reason: the opponent's competitor brought David here.
