Chapter 86 Detonating the Powder Keg

During the period when Han Feng was busy tinkering with his side business, Pascal was not idle, because someone contacted the military attache Warden stationed in CAF through an intermediary, saying that the Sir's daughter Hannah was in the hands of the Black Flag organization and wanted him Take money to redeem people.

2500 million euros, and the Jazz must ensure that the Black Flag forces can move freely in the western border area of ​​CAF.

Pascal is naturally unwilling to really give up his daughter, but he has shown an uncompromising look in the parliament before. If he really spends money to replace her with a big fanfare, he may be criticized by opponents and abolished. The tough image created by the efforts of nine oxen and two tigers will collapse in an instant.

So he had to think of a way to get the best of both worlds.

It can not only save her daughter's life, but also protect her own reputation.

Jazz’s first thought was naturally to have an absolutely reliable confidant, such as Major De Jong, secretly complete the deal, but he wanted to keep a low profile, but it didn’t mean that the other party also wanted to keep a low profile. If it was disclosed by the Black Flag organization, it would be a bigger problem The scandal -- you old boy advocated sending troops on the surface, but secretly colluded with the Black Flag organization. Are you a spy sent by the opposite side?Gotta investigate!

At that time, His Majesty the King may not be able to keep him if he comes forward.

And the issue of money is easy to talk about, the western border of CAF is not up to him at all, this matter cannot be discussed at all,
Pascal quickly gave up this idea. If he had to choose between his position and his daughter's life, he would rather choose the former. After all, he still has a son, although it is not very successful.

Fortunately, the Black Flag forces were not in a hurry, and the Jazz still had enough buffer time.

Compared with Han Feng's leisurely and methodical attitude and the Belgian side's methodical, Gaul's side is almost unable to sit still.

In the past few decades, the country of Gaul has been able to grab a lot of profits from CAF every year. Since the previous presidents of CAF were basically puppets of the country of Gaul, other countries, even companies from America, could not enter at all. Resources such as high-quality minerals, cotton, coffee, and precious tropical timber are all purchased by the Gaul State Company at extremely low prices.

Therefore, it is impossible for Gaul to sit back and watch itself lose CAF.

More importantly, the geographical location of CAF is too important, almost the heart of the South-Saharan region. If Bangji is successfully out of control, other surrounding countries may follow suit.

The good life in Gaul is based on the fact that the black buddies work as cattle and horses, so for the president's approval rate, it is better to suffer from the Afrikaners.

In a secret meeting room in the Elysee Palace, François, President of Gaul, is presiding over a high-level meeting of the Ministry of Intelligence Committee.

"Mr. President, the Seleka Alliance has stated that as long as Vatuzela takes office, they will immediately use force to oppose it." Sosse, the director of the External Security Bureau sitting closest to the president, first reported.

Although the Bureau of External Security is an agency of the Ministry of National Defense on paper, due to its special functions, Sousse's position in the power hierarchy of the Gaul State is closer to the core than the Minister of Defense.

"Can't we carry out Operation Serval again, sir... and ladies?" François looked at the six confidantes sitting in front of him.

Operation Serval two years ago was the highlight of his presidential career, and it had become a model for the application of light mechanized infantry within the Pact, which made François very useful.

"Mr. President, we don't have enough manpower." Marianne, secretary of the National Defense Secretariat sitting at the far end on the right, opened the notebook in her hand: "The only combat unit stationed by Bunge is a parachute assault group from the 1st Parachute Jager Regiment. About 40 people, no heavy equipment, the rest are civilians and gendarmes."

Marianne's notebook is blank, and her memory is so amazing that she doesn't need external aids, but her past teacher told her that it would be more believable to pretend to hold a notebook while talking.

Originally, the Secretary-General of the National Defense Secretariat was supposed to attend this meeting, but the other party's lover was found out to be a British spy. This is a great crime in Gaul, so she was quickly dismissed from her post and had to be represented by her secretary.

"But Qi Boze of the Seleka Alliance is not reassuring." François shook his head: "After we drove the Black Flag forces to the south, he got involved with those guys. I'm worried that he will come back to power It will be difficult to control in the future, is there any other way?"

The meeting room fell into a brief silence because of this question.

Originally, the purpose of driving the Black Flag forces to CAF was to prepare Lin Dengwan to defend the country, and let the Black Flag forces, Bangji and the Seleka Alliance fight against each other. As a result, Qi Boze, who has always been very obedient, secretly collude with the Black Flag forces. He also seems to have a heart.

"With all due respect, Mr. President, the situation in the military is not optimistic." Marianne, who was attending the meeting for the first time, said, "The Air Force's ammunition reserves haven't changed since Operation Odyssey Dawn, and they can only support a maximum of 3 -5 days of small-scale operations, the army's main equipment is too old, which was fully exposed in Operation Serval, when 83% of the armored vehicles participating in the operation were damaged due to non-combat reasons..."

The inexperienced Marian obviously didn't know that her evaluation of Operation Serval had touched the President's bad luck, so she was interrupted in the middle of her speech: "Okay, of course I know these things, but the opponent is just CAF, isn't it? Can't even come up with a plan B?"

Marianne seemed to want to say something, but Xi Wei, the director of the President's Office on the other side, coughed lightly and stepped in at the right time: "Mr. President, I have a solution here."

Sousse, who was the first to speak, showed a somewhat shocked expression, and then quickly frowned - before the meeting, the six of them had discussed with each other what they had prepared, and Xi Wei didn't mention plan B at that time. The conclusion is that we can only rely on the Seleka Alliance.

Apparently, the director of the office hid his tricks, and he, the one who spoke first just now, was tricked.

Sousse lowered his head slightly to prevent his dissatisfaction from being seen - Xi Wei is an old fox who is good at calculating, it can't be a temporary idea, it must have been planned long ago to make him look ugly, and flatter the president by the way .

Sure enough, François showed a happy expression: "Let's hear it."

Xi Wei took out a piece of paper from his inner pocket, obviously preparing for it: "Currently, CAF's minerals are almost all in the hands of the Seleka Alliance, and Bangi's economy is almost entirely dependent on coffee and forestry exports, and there Just getting Batalimo Forestry and LDC to stop buying this year will destroy their economies, only our acquirers."

"But if this is the case, the two companies will also suffer losses..." President François obviously couldn't afford to offend the giant domestic companies, and he seemed very hesitant: "Also, other countries may also give them loans or assistance."

Xi Wei, who was refuted, was not discouraged at all. Knowing the president's weak character, he had already made sufficient preparations: "The suspension of acquisitions is only temporary. After the news is released, it will at least indirectly cause more than 2 people from Bangji to lose their jobs. If They want to pay from the finances to maintain the acquisition, so let the speaker block this proposal. As long as it drags on for a few days, people will inevitably take to the streets to make trouble. At that time, we only need to buy a few local military police and shoot at the crowd while the chaos is happening. ...the world is in chaos."

Everyone here is old-fashioned, so naturally Xi Wei doesn't need to continue talking. As long as the situation is disturbed, another puppet can be pushed to power, and then the two companies will take advantage of the situation to re-enter CAF and take the opportunity to further lower the purchase price.

"But..." Marianne wanted to say something, but after hearing the answer she wanted, President François was obviously not ready to give her another chance.

"Gentlemen." François stood up triumphantly, even forgetting Marianne present: "Then it is decided, and this matter will be handed over to the General Directorate of External Security."

Seeing that the president had made the final decision, Marianne had no choice but to close the notebook and left the meeting room with the others.

On the other hand, after initially straightening out the company's superficial business, Han Feng spent a few more days traveling around several nearby countries. The efficiency of the Czech side is not low, but after all, various procedures will take a while.It was not until the batch of rifles and bullets arrived in Brazzaville that he temporarily handed over the operation to Crozo, and then returned to CAF with three other people chartered a business jet.

The route from Brussels to Bunge is similar to the one half a year ago when Han Feng first crossed over, but this time it happened to be daytime, allowing Han Feng to appreciate the largest city in CAF from mid-air.

It's just that there seem to be too many people on the street, and it seems that the lights and festoons are so lively...

"Is today a special day?" Han Feng looked at Yannick next to him.

"Let's think about it..." The ethnic and religious components of CAF are extremely complicated. Even though Bangji and Boda are only separated by more than 100 kilometers, Yannick is not sure: "Probably not."

"Boss, these people don't seem to be celebrating." Popov, who was sitting on the other side, said in a serious tone: "They are gathering, or to be precise... they are protesting."

For this kind of thing, the two Er Mao officers who came from the Golden Eagle Army are naturally very experienced. They just experienced almost the same thing more than a year ago.

"But we've only been away for less than half a month?" Han Feng was a little uncertain looking at the turbulent flow of people below.

"Enough is enough, this set of procedures is standardized." Popov's face was not very good, obviously remembering his past experience: "In the beginning, someone would pay a few dollars a day to hire someone to go to the street, if you can't If we continue to suppress and deal with it quickly, more and more people will fish in troubled waters, and it will be impossible to deal with it.”

Just as a few people were talking, the plane landed lightly on the runway of Bunge Airport. There were UN peacekeeping troops and Gaul garrisons here, and they were not affected by the chaos outside for the time being.
