Chapter 1378: Getting Ready to Go
In Kandahar, Afghanistan, Qiao Liang led a survey team and conducted a series of in-depth surveys on the agricultural conditions around Kandahar under the protection of a group of P.B. soldiers and American soldiers.
As the third largest city in Afghanistan and the largest commercial city, Kandahar's surrounding geographical environment is much better than Kabul, which is full of mountains.
There are three rivers with relatively abundant water sources around the city. The meltwater from the snow-capped mountains nourishes the surrounding areas, and the groundwater is relatively abundant, which gives the agriculture around Kandahar a certain foundation.
The problem that restricts the development of agriculture in Kandahar lies in the excavation of canals and the construction of irrigation wells.
The situation around Kandahar is not particularly good now. During the survey, there are always sneaky guys around.
Qiao Liang is also a person who has experienced big scenes. He is familiar with this situation and is not particularly afraid, but the people from the "Hongtongtong Intelligent Agriculture Company" who came with him are not so good...
Those bearded turbaned men who look like bandits scared these domestic agricultural buddies.
"Boss, do we really want to build an agricultural base here? What's the point?"
On the back seat of the Hummer, a young man wearing glasses and a shirt saw Qiao Liang sitting in the car with his arms crossed. He didn't know what he was thinking, so he said with some concern: "Boss, I'm not trying to pour cold water on you. There is no technical difficulty in building an agricultural base here, but the local customs are too complicated.
We are more than ten kilometers apart, and people on both sides can't understand each other. How can we do it?"
Qiao Liang listened, looked at the young man with glasses, and said with a smile: "What else can we do? Just plant it like this!
One hundred thousand acres of land, two vegetable and grain centers, is it difficult?"
The young man with glasses listened, rubbed his face helplessly, and said: "Boss Qiao, I just got married this year. My wife is happy to go around with me, but she probably doesn't want to come to Aqionghan. I am not happy about it.
If you have decided, I recommend that you keep Xiao Sun from the technical department. That guy is very brave and has some brothers at home..."
Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said with a smile: "You don't want to take the high-risk subsidy of 1,000 yuan a day?
I heard that you bought a house in the Fourth Ring Road. Have you paid off your mortgage?"
"1,000?"
The young man with glasses brightened his eyes and rubbed his hands and said: "Really 1,000 yuan a day..."
Qiao Liang nodded and said: "When did I lie?
The annual salary of 200,000 yuan includes food and accommodation. Not only does it have a 1,000 yuan danger subsidy a day, but there are also soldiers to protect your safety every day.
The job is technical guidance, and there are special people to do the specific work. "
The man with glasses took a few deep breaths after listening, thought for a long time, and finally said a little disappointedly: "Boss, I'm worried...
I heard that the Americans are about to withdraw. If the Taliban attack us, our investment will go down the drain.
What are you trying to achieve?"
Qiao Liang looked at the desolate scene outside the window, shook his head slightly and said, "You don't understand. These 100,000 acres of land are a touchstone.
I didn't spend much money to buy it from the Aqiong Khan government. I will send some equipment over first...
Whether the Taliban admits it or not will determine the fate of this area!"
Qiao Liang looked at the man with glasses and said seriously, "So you have to be serious. No matter what the result is, treat this as your top priority.
Someone will cooperate with you. The only thing you have to do is to build the preliminary framework of the agricultural base within a month.
I hope the Taliban can see that we are sincere enough...
Liu Haiyang, let me say something a little exaggerated. Whether we can succeed here will determine the fate of nearly 6 million people in the surrounding areas of Kandahar. "
The bespectacled man Liu Haiyang looked at his boss's serious expression, got emotional for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Boss, is safety really okay?"
Qiao Liang listened, shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't be fooled by Hollywood movies. Afghanistan is terrible, but the wars here are basically small fights."
When Qiao Liang was talking, the convoy drove into the Kandahar military base...
When passing the airport, Liu Haiyang watched two Su-27s carrying missiles escorting two C-130s to land on the runway...
The rear door of one of the transport planes opened, and the first to come out were actually two four-legged robots pulling ropes.
After several pallets with wheels were pulled onto the runway, two teams of soldiers who looked extremely expensive came out to protect several excited young people.
When the door of another transport plane opened, 20 bipedal robots and two other teams of fully armed soldiers walked out of it...
Liu Haiyang got off the car and looked at those things that should only appear in movies. He said to Qiao Liang with a bitter face: "Boss, this doesn't look like a small fight..."
Qiao Liang laughed and pointed to the large tray unloaded from the first plane. He said with a smile: "Look carefully what it is, the flagship product of 'Jialiang Science and Technology Company', the sixth-generation unmanned airship.
You guys who study agriculture like to make a fuss, and you have to look at us who study science and engineering...
Let's go, I saw a few acquaintances, I'll take you to meet them, and you will hang out with them in the future.
Tomorrow I'm going to the north of Aqionghan to see if I can invest in some minerals and things like that, so I won't take you with me.
It's more dangerous there, I'm afraid you'll be scared."
…………………………
While everyone was busy, Boss Joe flew back to Somalia, organizing people and commanding the air force to help Ethiopia.
As mentioned earlier, a civil war is breaking out in Ethiopia, and the war has spread to Sudan, Eritrea, Somalia and other countries.
Various messy conflicts have made the eastern part of Afika a mess, but P.B cannot intervene in this controversial civil war in Ethiopia.
However, not being able to intervene directly does not mean that you can't play a side role...
An An-225, two An-124s, and three super-large transport planes loaded with supplies, under the escort of four F-14 Tomcats, landed at the temporarily expanded airport in Kismayo.
Then four F-14s launched an inhumane bombing of several youth party rallies.
At the same time, helicopters from Sudan's Damazin Hunting Guide Company began to take off to assist Sudan in clearing out Ethiopian opposition forces operating on the border.
Djibouti launched two Wing Loongs and flew to the Eritrean border, where they engaged in a battle with Ethiopian opposition forces.
In fact, the so-called border conflict was a robbery launched by the Ethiopian opposition to raise funds. When Boss Qiao began to squeeze the opposition, they instantly felt tremendous pressure.
Boss Qiao used the bombing of the Youth Party to liberate Ethiopia's elite troops on the Ethiopia-Soviet border, giving the current government forces a chance to turn around and strike back.
If this still doesn't solve the problem, Boss Qiao thinks the current Ethiopian president can step down.
After fully demonstrating his role to the AU, Qiao Jia pulled the giant Lao Zhu and a group of scientists to finalize the plan for the space center, and then began to wait for people to gather.
In order to gain a firm foothold in Kandahar and fulfill his promise to the outside world, Boss Qiao needs to send at least 2,000 people to Aqiong Khan this time, 1,000 of whom are from Tobruk...
Hassan Mansour is Nice's cousin. Although he has not officially recognized Nice to this day, this proud Libyan man personally formed an "Eagle Brigade" in Tobruk after Igor was born.
This "Eagle Brigade" is ostensibly under the command of Haftar, the Libyan National Army, but in fact it is a city defense force unique to Tobruk, and in the future it will definitely be a private soldier under the command of Igor.
The "Eagle Brigade" does not belong to the sequence of P.B. It is supported by Nice's private money and Tobruk's security funds throughout the process.
Since the outbreak of the Yemen war, they have experienced 4 front-line rotations and have achieved relatively good results.
This time, in order to cope with the harsh environment in Afghanistan, the "Eagle Brigade" that has been fighting in the desert and arid areas for a long time was drawn out, and they were prepared to leave Libya, which has gradually stabilized, and go to Afghanistan to continue to hone their skills.
They are the candidates to control two light-armed combined battalions...
At the same time, the artillery, air force, and logistics within the PB are also gathering. Most of them will meet in Somalia, and finally board the ship together to the north into the Arabian Sea to reach Pakistan.
Neither the Shah's Dewali nor the Houthi armed forces have left Somalia. They have been here to take advantage of Boss Joe's media traffic, bringing the Yemen war back into people's vision and attracting attention, while also expressing their determination to seek peace.
After Boss Joe spent a week to basically quell the sporadic fighting around Ethiopia, Dewali approached Boss Joe...
"Jackal, the Taliban are unwilling to negotiate with you outside of Afghan Khan..."
Boss Joe, who was sitting on a huge reef fishing, was stunned for a moment and said, "Why?"
He shook his head and said, "Are they too afraid of death, or do they not trust P.B?"
Dewali shook his head and said, "The main reason is that they don't trust the United States, or they don't trust the Shah to withstand the pressure and protect their safety.
Big Mouth Tang blew up Sumani and set a very bad precedent for the world. Because Iraq is a 'middleman', even if they publicly wanted Big Mouth Tang, they couldn't restore their credibility in the Arab world.
Not only is the credibility of the United States bad now, but even countries like us that have connections with the United States have been questioned."
Joga nodded indifferently and said, "Let's talk about it after we go to Afghan Khan. There are still three months before the deadline for NATO's withdrawal. I have enough time to make arrangements. "
Dewali looked at Boss Joe who seemed to be indifferent, and he said a little depressed: "Jackal, Afghanistan is a quagmire, do you need help?
Our current drone production line has sufficient production capacity..."
Qiao Jia waved his hands and said: "I don't want it. America has transferred 20 Super Tucanos to Kandahar...
If you can't bear to see your brothers suffer, send me some fuel and Blue Sword 7 missiles.
I have studied for a long time these days, and then I understand why the Soviet Union and NATO both fell in Afghanistan.
That broken place doesn't even have enough fuel. I have limited funds this time, and I guess I have to live a hard life. "
Dewali looked at an F-14 Tomcat whizzing by, he shook his head and said: "You call this a hard life?"
Qiao Jia shrugged his shoulders and said: "Because I don't see any chance of changing Afghanistan in the short term, the only reason to go there is to live up to the image and honor that P.B has established before.
Brother, the real "hard life" is when there is no hope!
Just think about it. I have to shelter a bunch of guys abandoned by Europe and America, and protect those women who have to be sent to the market because they have no family.
This is a losing business, but I have to do it well!
Do you think it's hard?"
Joga looked at Dewali with sympathy on his face, and waved his hand and said, "Just listen to these words. I will leave in half a month. If you want to help, let your people contact the Taliban and let those who keep their word meet me in Kandahar.
Just tell them that P.B's habit is to punch first after entering a place...
In the past, my equipment was limited, and the power of that punch was limited, but now it's different...
Tell them that this punch is to hit the drug dealers or to hit them. The choice is in their hands!"
