Entertainment Starting From Operation Red Sea

Chapter 1270 It’s always good to have ideals (please collect, recommend, and vote monthly)

Conrad Knox was delivering a speech on the temporary podium.

The specific content is that he will transform this nearly century-old granary into the largest modern art museum in Africa.

Today is the day to start construction. This project is planned to span three years and require an investment of nearly US$100 million. Today, he invited celebrities from all walks of life in South Africa to gather at this location.

"Rich people really know how to play..."

Xu Chuan, who understood the cause and effect clearly in the audience, muttered.

Then join the others in clapping.

Of course, this investment was not made by Knox himself. A large part of it came from donations from these people on the scene.

These guests were all rich and distinguished, and there were also two members of the South African government's cabinet.

This shows the appeal of this gray-haired old man in South Africa.

Conrad Knox walked off the podium and shook hands with several important people nearby.

Behind him was a woman in a burgundy dress, in her early thirties, with dark red hair.

Ava Knox, daughter of Conrad.

He is also the spokesperson for the Conrad Knox Foundation.

The weapons destruction plan was mainly promoted by her.

"Mr. Grylls, I said you would definitely come."

Conrad saw Xu Chuan and immediately came over enthusiastically.

This guy is 1.9 meters tall, and he really feels a bit oppressive when standing opposite him.

"My work over there has just ended, and it looks quite interesting here."

Xu Chuan pointed to the huge granary and said, "It's really creative to turn this place into an art museum."

In addition to the main building at the front, this building also has 42 concrete circular silos at the back.

According to the renovation plan in the brochure, if it can be completed, it will indeed be a very eye-catching landmark building.

"Ha ha…"

Conrad Knox laughed, and then warmly hugged Xu Chuan's shoulders.

Fiennes wanted to come up, but Xu Chuan raised his hand to stop him.

"In the more than sixty years I have lived in this country, Cape Town has gone from being the safest city in Africa to now being the most dangerous."

Conrad's tone was somewhat emotional, like those of older people.

But Xu Chuan could hear the implication behind his words. This old guy must be missing South Africa, which had an isolation policy back then.

"It's normal. Da Ying has become a shame to the Wuchang. No one can live in the past."

Xu Chuan said something, which meant that the old man should stop fussing, he is already so old.

He asked Umbrella to investigate the foundation's projects in the past few days. Their so-called weapons destruction plan should be selling sheep's meat to dogs.

Most of those weapons have not been destroyed, this guy is probably hoarding arms.

To be honest, Xu Chuan just felt like laughing at this situation, because the quantity they had hoarded might not be enough to transport half a ship of HCLI.

And can there be anything good in this place, a seven-handed AK47?

This old man probably has watched too many Hollywood blockbusters and thinks about restoring his former glory every day.

But there is another thing. When he used red mercury in London, this old boy was also a buyer who was deceived.

It's really ideal, but people are still thinking about how to have nuclear weapons.

In Xu Chuan's eyes, this person was just playing house.

That’s not how the rebellion started.

With Umbrella's current scale, he didn't even dare to claim absolute control over Nan Sudan. This old man really dared to think and do it.

And what he did was actually not secretive. I don’t know how much he was cheated in the process.

But it was obvious that Conrad Knox would not be able to give up on his lifelong ideals with just one word from Xu Chuan.

"So, we should do something more."

"It's like the things you encountered in Johannesburg before, how could this happen in my time."

Well, Xu Chuan shrugged.

Then he handed over a business card of Max Adams, "Man, if you want to buy a large number of trolls, you can find this guy and deliver them all over the world."

"Of course it's not impossible if you want a large quantity. You need to negotiate the price yourself."

"Mention my name and he will give you a discount."

Conrad took the business card with a confused look on his face. He didn't expect that the other party would recommend him the arms business.

He was not sure whether the other party had seen through his thoughts, and the thought of killing the other party flashed through his mind.

Xu Chuan pretended to casually reveal the pistol in his clothes, which immediately calmed the other party down.

Conrad promptly remembered that the guy in front of him was no ordinary rich man.

He solemnly put the business card into his pocket, "Maybe there will be opportunities for my foundation and Umbrella to cooperate in the future."

This guy is not talking about UC Technology but Umbrella. The purpose is self-evident.

The smile on Xu Chuan's face was definitely not fake, "No problem, I'm looking forward to our cooperation."

Who wouldn’t be happy if you cooperate with someone you take advantage of? Thousands of years of history tell us that if you want to rebel, you can’t just have money.

When he got back, he asked someone to make a list of all Conrad's assets. Since he wanted to lose his fortune at the end of his life, of course he had to cooperate.

What is the most expensive thing to do in this world, woman? Sports car? yacht? Jewelry? None.

The most expensive thing is to raise an army.

Of course, like those warlords in Africa, they capture a bunch of strong men and give each of them an AK. It certainly doesn't cost much.

But for someone like Umbrella, who has completed preliminary mechanization and informatization, money is really being spent like water.

Without the huge capital flow of UC Technology and relying only on those few oil fields, Umbrella would not be able to develop to its current scale.

He deployed nearly two to three thousand combat troops in Nansudan, and the daily cost was a huge number.

As for Conrad's worth, it wasn't that Xu Chuan looked down on him. His money wasn't enough for Umbrella to spend in a year.

Conrad Knox enthusiastically invited Xu Chuan to attend the subsequent banquet so that he could have a meal. Xu Chuan planned to call all the bodyguards over.

Then Xu Chuan turned his attention to the other party's daughter Ava Knox.

He and Conrad had been talking behind each other's backs just now. It was obvious that this woman didn't know that her father was planning to rebel.

I guess Conrad doesn't want to involve his daughter either.

But if you don't tell the other party about this kind of thing, you can clear up the relationship.

When the Nine Tribes are being killed, who cares whether you know it or not.

However, this woman doesn't seem to be very fond of Xu Chuan, or she doesn't have a good impression of anyone who supports violent activities.

"We collected countless weapons from Sierra Leone some time ago and are transporting them back to the foundation's destruction center."

Ava Knox seems very proud of the accomplishments of their foundation's work.

"We have also negotiated with the Nansudan authorities, but we have encountered unprecedented obstacles."

This woman who thinks she is maintaining world peace seems to feel that the war in Africa is closely related to Umbrella.

"The war in Nansudan has lasted for decades. Umbrella should make more active efforts for the peace of Nansudan."

Xu Chuan looked at the other party seriously, trying to tell whether the other party was mocking him, and then found that the woman seemed to be serious.

He had no choice but to nod, indicating that everything you said was right.

"If the Knox Foundation is willing, I can help contact the anti-government forces in Nansudan and collect the weapons in their hands." Xu Chuan is very sincere. If the other party can persuade those idiots to put down their weapons, it will really help him. Saves a lot of effort.

A glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of the red-haired Ava Knox, "That's great. I hope Mr. Grylls means what he says."

Ouch, this woman...

For those who really have ideals and are serious about realizing them, even if their ideals are naive, Xu Chuan does not want to ridicule them.

But, hey, he had a feeling that this woman would cause big trouble to her father.

The sun was gradually setting on the African continent. After Xu Chuan and his security team finished their meal, they got on the plane to Nansudan.

A few hours later he showed up at the home of new President Ruhr.

"Mr. Grylls, I must remind you that it is early in the morning."

Ruhr, who was over fifty years old, looked at the uninvited guest in front of him speechlessly.

The energy of young people is so good.

"Hey, your people are still hungry, how can they sleep now?"

After more than twenty days of relaxation, Xu Chuan's energy was at its strongest and he didn't care about the other person's life or death at all.

The muscles on Ruel's face twitched twice. After not seeing him for several months, this guy was still so annoying.

But since he was getting up, he could only reach out and pick up the glasses from the table and put them on his face.

"You should already understand the current situation, right?"

For this collaborator, Ruhr was 200% alert.

Even though the guy in front of me is young, his character really doesn't look like that of a young man in his early twenties.

"The situation is much better than I expected. It seems that my two thousand people are no longer needed."

Xu Chuan sat on the sofa opposite, and the two began to discuss Nan Sudan's future.

Of course, it's not that his two thousand people are useless, but without these people, the various forces would have already started fighting.

It was because he transferred people over at all costs that he was able to suppress those who were ready to make a move with two crushing victories.

That’s why Ruhr is now able to seize military and political power.

The first thing Xu Chuan did when he came back was to confirm whether their previous agreement was still valid?

You know, the brain circuits of these black people are different from ordinary people, and most of them are very short-sighted.

Who knows if Ruhr will have some bad changes after taking this position.

If anything, he wouldn't mind doing the other guy here and then falling on the former president.

Of course, this was the last thing he wanted to see.

"I think we should officially start our plan now, time is very tight."

Of course Ruhr meant what they said before, the plan to solve Nansu's single-ration independent plan in a short time.

Although Umbrella had already started this plan before, Ruhl was not the president at that time.

But now they can do even more.

For example, Ruhr will visit China during his subsequent overseas visits and formally sign some agricultural assistance agreements with the Chinese government.

In this regard, China has already provided a lot of aid to Africa, so the problem is definitely not big.

Before Nansudan became independent, China had many investment and aid projects here.

But these projects have all been interrupted by the war.

Xu Chuan nodded. This was what they had discussed before the election.

His request is not for Ruhr to switch to China, which is not qualified yet. His request is just that Nansu Dan should choose a different route from before.

Moreover, bringing China into the picture will reduce Umbrella's pressure a lot.

Their recent military operations are really eye-catching.

Sometimes it’s such a contradiction. You can’t suppress others without using your full strength, but you are worried about becoming a thorn in some people’s side even if you use your full strength.

Good, at least Rule didn't make it difficult for him.

"If I didn't follow the agreement, were you planning to kill me just now?"

After three hours of conversation, Ruhr asked Xu Chuan who was about to leave.

Xu Chuan replied nonchalantly, "Yes, that's what I thought."

"Oh, you are so honest."

"I think we'd better all be honest. That would save us a lot of trouble."

Ruel smiled, "You're right."

The two sides were not talking nonsense. It was almost dawn at this time.

On the streets near the presidential palace, at least seven or eight armored vehicles drove away, as well as several trucks pulling military personnel.

Rule stood on the balcony watching the vehicles leave, with his captain of the bodyguard standing behind him.

"Mr. President, they have all evacuated. No one is left."

The head guard, who could blend in perfectly with the night when he took off his clothes, was covered in sweat and his clothes were soaked through.

He knew how nervous he had been over the past few hours.

He had no idea how those people quietly surrounded the presidential palace.

Rule held his hands on the railing and asked doubtfully, "No one left?"

"Yes, including those in the Presidential Guard."

"This guy is really interesting."

Ruhr didn't expect Xu Chuan to be so decisive. Is this trust or another kind of demonstration?

…

"Ha, I can have a peaceful sleep now."

Xu Chuan yawned while sitting in the car. Fighting with others was really more tiring than fighting.

He is neither trusting nor demonstrating, but simply believes that it is no longer necessary.

After all, Umbrella still controls Juba's airport and the only combat-effective security force in South Sudan.

In this case, it is meaningless to control the presidential palace. It is better to make a gesture to show goodwill to the other party.

After all, we will still have to cooperate in the next few years.

Xu Chuan believes that cooperating with himself is much better than cooperating with international capital that eats people without spitting out their bones.

At least, he would leave some soup for Nan Sudan.

After that, if everything goes well, the production of the oil fields will return to normal levels next year. Of course, it is best to use China to take care of Sudan in the north.

After all, both the refinery and the pipeline are within each other's territory.

We all work together to make money, so why bother fighting.

There are no oil resources in Sudan. The oil pipelines are always stuck and they want to eat alone. In the end, no one can eat.

If the energy line from South Sudan to Sudan can really be revitalized, it will definitely play a demonstrative role in the situation in Central Africa.

Follow Umbrella and you will have food to eat.

The next day, Ruhr announced his decision to travel abroad after the New Year. The new cabinet members will accompany him to visit friendly neighboring countries, and then several major countries.

China ranks in the middle, neither in front nor behind.

This is the Ruhr official's first overseas trip after winning the second general election in Nansudan, and it has certainly attracted worldwide attention.

At this time, Umbrella was withdrawing most of its combat personnel.
