Chapter 123 Cao Zheng's Trip to Somalia
"Well... there is one, right?" Xiao Xiao replied subconsciously.

"You damn girl!" Her mother's face turned green in the room!
"Ah?" Cao Zheng was also taken aback for a moment, he dared to be preempted by others?Also, it would be really strange if such an excellent girl didn't have a boyfriend!

However, he also easily caught a key word, and couldn't help asking: "Is it?"

"We talked about it in college. I'm in BJ, and now there are very few contacts." Xiao Xiao suddenly felt a little lost, "Long-distance love, you know, it can't stand the test of time after all."

"It's right if you can't stand it!" Cao Zheng roared in his heart, and said righteously: "Well... such a man, don't mind."

"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?" Xiao Xiao was also a little erratic, and came up with this sentence without thinking about it at all.

"Because I want to chase you!"

"what!"

"Haha!" In the room, Cao's mother almost lost her temper without laughing, secretly thinking that my family's Xiaozheng is reliable!Come on, I, the mother-in-law, agreed to this pursuit for my daughter first!

"Of course, if I can come back alive." Suddenly, Cao Zheng couldn't help feeling cold. To be honest, he didn't have the slightest idea about this trip to Somalia, after all, that place is so notorious!It is said that killing is like eating. Sheila is normal. Even the aunt who buys vegetables may have an AK47 hidden under her skirt. If she disagrees with her, she dares to kill in the street!
"Is there a chance?"

"You..." Xiao Xiao couldn't help being a little speechless, she was about to die, and she still wanted to pick up girls, and at the crucial moment, she asked with a smile on her face.

After a long time, she blushed slightly and said, "If you can come back alive."

"Haha, that's awesome!" Cao Zheng couldn't help laughing, "I dare not die just by saying that to you!"

"Oh... By the way, don't tell my parents about my going to Somalia." At the end, when the two were about to pack up the tables and chairs and enter the house, Cao Zheng did not forget to explain.

"it is good."

……

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Cao Zheng bid farewell to his parents and went to the airport alone.

Xiao Xiao originally wanted to drive him off, but he refused, saying that he wanted her to accompany his parents the whole time, so that he could leave with peace of mind, so Xiao Xiao didn't force it.

There is no direct flight from Dubai to Somalia, so Cao Zheng first bought a ticket to Djibouti.

As one of the least developed countries in Africa, Djibouti is really poor. How dare the airport be called an international airport?It can't reach the airport of a prefecture-level city in China.

But what makes Cao Zheng even more admirable is still to come. The destination of his trip is the northern port city of Somalia, Bosaso, and Djibouti. Just like the information displayed on the Internet, there are indeed direct flights, but that flight...

Cao Zheng can swear that this is the most dilapidated plane he has ever flown in this life, not one of them!

The age of the plane is estimated to be older than his dad's!
The entire plane has only [-] seats, so small that it can be smaller, but the occupancy rate is only about half. The cabin is dilapidated and old, and some places are still rusty. The seats are definitely not like those on ordinary planes. The narrow depression, and the layer of black leather wrapped on it is quite wear-resistant. After so many years, it has not been damaged much.

Moreover, Cao Zheng also saw for the first time pilots who don’t need to wear uniforms, just casual shirts and T-shirts. There are two people in total, both of whom are foreigners, one is Ukrainian and the other is European. No.

To be honest, Cao Zheng was worried that such a broken plane would be able to carry him to Bosaso smoothly?
Fortunately, the Ukrainian captain patted his chest and told him in English that he had a flight record of 25 kilometers without accidents, which gave him a big reassurance.

……

Somalia, the Horn of Africa, is a peninsula country.

When mentioning the name of this country, I am afraid that the first thing most people think of is the Somali pirates!
No one else, because these pirates who have been wandering around the Gulf of Aden for a long time are too rampant!
The Gulf of Aden, also known as the pirate port, is the only way for ships to quickly travel between the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean. It is also an important route for cargo ships to enter Europe and the United States from Asia, and from Africa to Europe and the United States.

And no matter how the Somali government or the EU's warships encircle and suppress them, the pirates in the Gulf of Aden have never been truly wiped out. They are like ghosts on the sea, mysterious and tenacious!

Every year, several unlucky cargo ships are hijacked here, and then a large amount of ransom is required to exchange the lives of the crew members. This has almost become a practice, and it is inevitable!

This country is full of factors of violence. Due to the inaction of the government, coupled with numerous domestic parties and constant disputes, people here have been living in dire straits. Even in poor Africa, Somalia is the poorest place .

The per capita annual income here is only 400 US dollars. Due to the extremely difficult life and extremely low happiness index, the folk customs have always been tough!
As the old saying goes, when a person is pushed into a hurry, he can do anything!

Everything is for survival.

Where do you come from when the pirates in the Gulf of Aden come from?In fact, many of them were just ordinary fishermen before, and they were forced by life.

In Somalia, everyone, men and women, grandparents and grandparents, they all know how to protect themselves.

There are a lot of firearms here, and many firearms are sold by the catty. If you see an old lady who goes to the vegetable market to sell vegetables in the morning, and then buys an AK47 for self-defense, don’t be surprised. In fact, this is how the arms are sold openly here. .

As for the country?

They want to manage it, but can they manage it?

Almost everyone here is a warrior!

His personality is still the type that dares to fire warning shots in broad daylight if he disagrees with him. With the government's little soldiers and crab generals, it is impossible to force most people to do things they don't want to do.

If the people do not riot, the government is already thankful.

But such a place, in the eyes of Zhao Ping'an, is a rare treasure!

There is only one reason why he asked Cao Zheng to come here—to buy an island!
A small island only 17 kilometers away from the eastern coastline of Bosaso, a port city in northern Somalia. This small island was the home of a powerful pirate gang a long time ago. After being wiped out by the government and EU warships, it has been deserted. There, the Somali government has been listed for sale through some island trading companies for more than 20 years but failed to sell.

Coincidentally, Zhao Ping'an has taken a fancy to him now.

The reason why Zhao Pingan made such a choice is actually very simple.

Because it is not easy to establish a military industry company abroad, especially if he does not want to change his nationality, and in this chaotic country, a country where arms are already flooded, Zhao Pingan bets that the local government will not Mind what factory he wants to build here.

Everything is nothing more than money.

And it just so happens that he has quite a few of these things!

It is no exaggeration to say that there is no one richer than him in this country whose national GDP is only a few billion dollars.

His plan, which is impossible in many developing countries or developed countries, may not be unfeasible here!
For example, build your own military force!

After all, your country is already like this. If I come to invest in construction, create taxes for you, and provide jobs, you must let me have the ability to protect myself, right?
