Chapter 184 Factory, base?
After Yuri delivered two shipments of arms in Congo, he took a cruise to Djibouti and saw a formally established arms factory in an East African town a hundred kilometers away from the port of Doleja.

As a small country in East Africa, Djibouti guards the "Mandeb Strait", the key point from the Indian Ocean to the Red Sea, and is an important navigation island in the Gulf of Aden.

Doleha Port is located in the capital Djibouti City and is the largest container port in East Africa.

The main ethnic groups here are Arabs, Alphas, Isa people, and Somali indigenous people. In 1896, the French colonists established the "Somali Colonial Government" here. However, during the independence movement after World War II, the strategic location "Djibouti" was deliberately isolated. Open, divided into two countries along the Gulf line with Somalia.

There are no high-rise buildings in the city, but a small town of Arab-style bungalows, backward and simple, with the smell of sea in the flying yellow sand. Fishing, freight, and agriculture are the few local industries.

Along the way, you can see citizens drying dried shrimps and fish, boatmen repairing fishing nets, and workers carrying boxes of goods.
In front of a brand-new iron door, there are steel fences and antlers, covered with four car anti-collision chains. On the chains are steel nails, coupled with a two-meter-high power grid on the surrounding cement walls, which is electrified. The iron spikes, as well as the strong Chinese soldiers wearing steel helmets and bulletproof vests, can't help but be intimidated by pedestrians passing by, silently bypassing it, treating it as a restricted area.

Yuri was wearing a suit, holding a black briefcase, dusty from all the travel, sitting in a pickup truck, looking at the factory gate through the glass, his expression could not help but flash with horror.

"Is this China's military base in Djibouti?" Peter, a fellow traveler, was speechless. He looked like he had never seen the world. It was not that the factory was so majestic, but that it was a fully militarized setting, which made people think of more. .

What's more, in the international underground arms market, Chinese people have never had a place. The sudden emergence of a very powerful middleman cannot help but make people suspicious.

But for partners, the more background the speaker has, the better.

As soon as I entered the company, I was eager to report the results, which shows how strong the desire to express value is.

Yuri handed the pass to the guard at the gate. While waiting for the other party to report and confirm, he glanced at the fist logo spray-painted with red paint on the wall and said loudly: "The United States can have a military base in Djibouti, and France can have a military base in Djibouti." , why can’t China have it?”

Leasing land to military powers is no choice. Any country that can establish a military base in Djibouti has the ability to intervene in the Red Sea trade routes.

In the future, although China has not established a military base in Djibouti, it has established a naval logistics base. Even if the Houthi armed forces block the waterway, it will still be able to safely pass through the Red Sea.

As one of the least developed countries in the world, Djibouti is simply unable to protect its national security. Not only has it been in internal turmoil for a long time, it also has to deal with military conflicts with Somalia.

Zhang Ziwen did not deliberately choose Djibouti for its military significance, but the military was originally designed to protect economic interests. It is a transfer station most suitable for unloading goods to Africa and the Middle East. Unsurprisingly, it itself symbolizes huge military significance.

"Mr. Zhang, the goods I am responsible for have been sent to Congo, and I have successfully helped the company open routes to Europe, proving my ability." Yuri saw Boss Zhang chatting with a soldier.

In addition to fully protecting its own interests, it also has the ability to block waterways.

Finally, the car stopped in front of a five-story concrete building. Yuri and two of his men went through a body search and went to an office on the third floor.

As the guards opened the iron gate, the pickup truck arrived in front of a square. A five-star flag hung on the flag stand, fluttering in the wind.
In the warehouse areas on both sides, the work workshops are clearly separated, and there is also a special living area. Some Chinese technicians are making lunch, which is like a completely different world from the Arab world outside.

"Sir Yuri, welcome to Riot Games' first factory."

Zhang Ziwen stepped forward and shook hands with Yuri with a smile: "I have received a call from my colleague. The European shipping route is very successful. Not only can the delivery time be shortened by half a month, but the transportation cost has also been reduced by 20%."

"This will make Riot's products more competitive in Africa." "Thank you, BOSS." Yuri said politely, holding his briefcase under his arm, "It's an honor to serve the company."

As the security director of the factory, Wang Jinjin stood at attention and saluted, turned around and left the conference room with his arms thrown, keeping roughly the same distance with each step.

When Yuri was in the factory just now, he noticed that whenever two or more guards were together, they would walk in formation. No matter they were wearing equipment or casual clothes, there was no guard traveling alone.

"I have only been in Djibouti for two days, and I haven't been able to open up sales for the company yet." Zhang Ziwen sat on the sofa, took out a cigar, handed it to Yuri and said, "Mr. Yuri, do you have any ideas?"

Yuri patted his leather bag and looked confident: "BOSS, let me introduce you. This is my partner, weapons expert Peter, who once worked as a designer at Colt Company."

"This is George, a very powerful sales expert. He used to sell warships for shipyards. He knows many rich people in the Middle East."

Both Peter and George looked a little reserved and said, "Mr. Zhang, I'm glad to meet you."

Among them, Peter is a fat white man wearing glasses, with narrowed eyes, as if he drinks Coke as water.

George's figure is much more well-proportioned, and even though his hair is messy and dusty, his appearance is still handsome.

"I believe in Yuri's vision. I'm very happy to meet you two." Zhang Ziwen stepped forward to shake hands with the two of them and found that Peter's palms were all sweaty. Considering that the local climate was hot and unfriendly to fat people, he didn't feel strange at all.

As everyone knows, Peter is just an inspector for Colt Company, responsible for inspecting rifle weapons on the assembly line, and is not a designer at all.

George is just a salesperson for a yacht company. He once met several Iranian royal buyers at the company's VIP banquet. I have never even seen a warship in my life, let alone selling a warship.

This is already one of the few talents that Yuri can show off. Of course, they must be packaged and packaged well to show their face in front of the big boss.

The only person in the entire company who can be considered a talent is probably Yuri himself.

When the big boss turned around, he took out the contract in his bag and said: "On the way to Djibouti, I passed by Ethiopia and signed a two million contract with a representative of the Eritrean Popular Front. Soviet-style equipment orders in US dollars.”

"Zhang Sheng, I think we can use this as an entry point to open up the Ethiopian market."

As one of the major African countries, Ethiopia was still a country with a socialist system last year, and the former head of state "Menguetus" had been under dictatorship for 19 years. Economically, with the support of Lao Su, there is a certain small industrial base in the country.

The civil war just ended last year, and democratic reforms are underway in the country. According to the Transitional Charter, a democratic federal state will be established.

Once the old Soviet Union fell, the whole world changed its banner. However, according to international information, the two forces that overthrew the "Mengertus" regime were the "Tigray Liberation Front" and the "Eritrean Liberation Front".

Among them, "Tigray" and "Eritrea" are both important continental names. The former entered the capital, and the latter was the first to liberate the entire continent. Does it look familiar? This is completely the script of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, and they are currently preparing for the final battle!
