Chapter 1379
NATO Air Base in Kandahar...
There is a little-known fact, that is, NATO has three important military bases in Afghanistan, Bagram Military Base, Kandahar Air Base, and Shindeid Air Base.
Among them, only Bagram Military Base is commanded by the United States, and the other two, Kandahar and Shindeid, are commanded by the British.
Of course, the most important military assets are still provided by the US military, such as fighter jets, strategic transport aircraft, and rapid reaction forces.
These three large air bases are responsible for supporting other small military bases in the entire Afghanistan.
There are 6 small military bases distributed on the strategic points around Kandahar Air Base. During this period, the hearts of people in these small military bases are floating, and no one knows what will happen tomorrow.
‘Three Yellow Chicken’ drove an 80% new pickup truck, carrying Liu Haiyang from the agricultural company on the road outside Kandahar.
In front and behind them were the Kazakh team led by the former members of the Rabbit Team ‘Radar’ and ‘Keeper’.
The main members of the L squad in Aqiong Khan are Pashtuns and Kazakhs. These Chinese people, who are of good family background, put on military uniforms with lion head marks and took NATO standard weapons. They look not much different from the Aqiong Khan government army.
Since Liu Haiyang was left in Kandahar by his boss Qiao Liang, his mood has been like a roller coaster recently.
At first, he was worried, but as time went by, the worry subsided and was replaced by a strange sense of pride.
Because many compatriots came to the Kandahar base...
They sent a lot of equipment and supplies from Pakistan, and at the same time began to demolish the original simple buildings in the base, and drove a group of arrogant NATO soldiers to sleep in tents, and they didn't dare to complain at all.
The British lieutenant general, who used to be surrounded by people and spoke arrogantly, was particularly polite when facing the slightly fat young man "San Huang Ji". It can be said that he would respond to any request and give a green light to any need.
Liu Haiyang lived in a soldier's dormitory at first, but when the "Three Yellow Chickens" came, this young man who studied agriculture in China had a house and a car on the first day...
The house was a single dormitory for school-level officers, and the car was a brand-new top-of-the-line Hummer with machine guns installed and metal grids installed on the front windshield and side windows.
Having a house and a car is just a personal need. What shocked Liu Haiyang was the big brother temperament of "Big Brother Three Yellow Chicken" who didn't take NATO as a dish.
Since this team arrived, transport planes with lion heads printed on them have taken off and landed at the Kandahar base every day.
While transporting various military supplies, they were also responsible for assisting NATO soldiers to evacuate.
The most outrageous thing is that NATO soldiers have to buy tickets to get on the plane.
Kandahar was responsible for evacuating personnel and soldiers from nearly 200 military bases in Aqiong Khan. When these people came, they brought all their belongings with them...
Humvee, armored personnel carriers, mine-resistant infantry vehicles, military trucks...
'Big Brother San Huang Ji' was like an old pawnshop attendant in the past, picking and choosing the things these soldiers brought.
Those soldier leaders always had to smile and present some 'gifts' to calm down the bad mood of 'Big Brother San Huang Ji', and then take a receipt with a P·B seal, happily go to the restaurant to pay cash and eat a hot meal made by the cook Bayika uncle, and wait for the transport plane to have a vacancy.
What excited Liu Haiyang the most was not the majesty of 'Big Brother San Huang Ji', but the Tajik uncles who took over the cafeteria and the Tajik special forces who arrived later, who actually spoke fluent Chinese, and even the black guys in charge of logistics could communicate with him in simple Chinese words and sentences, speaking and gesturing.
Chinese is like a code. No matter if it is logistics, soldiers or construction teams, as long as they are on the same page, they are one of us.
Then a relatively exclusive small circle was naturally formed. As the influence of this small circle rose sharply, a sense of honor was naturally formed.
This thing is like the prototype of overseas gangs. Liu Haiyang was led astray in less than half a month...
He was always cautious before, but now this little brother dares to swipe the "canteen card" and buy things from those American soldiers who were only seen in movies by treating them to meals.
From three or five soldiers, you can get a set of standard equipment for the "Ranger". Although there are no weapons, there are night vision goggles and radios. Moreover, because these things are all genuine first-hand goods, they can be easily sold for 200,000 or 300,000 yuan in the domestic player circle.
Liu Haiyang has been in Aqionghan for less than two months. Not only does he have a house and a car in Aqionghan, but even his wife in China has changed her car.
If it weren't for the absolute ban on guns in China, Liu Haiyang would have no connections overseas, and an arms dealer might have been born.
Liu Haiyang is 26 years old, and this time he really opened his eyes...
It's not that he experienced something extraordinary, but he found that what he thought was extraordinary in the past might actually be just an ordinary little thing.
What arms tycoon, what drug trade, in fact, is bullshit...
There is nothing magical about these crappy things, but the two points of "illegal" and "huge profits" give them a layer of exciting coat.
In the context of Aqionghan, arms trade is factory workers reselling public labor protection products, and drug trade is tobacco factory workers hiding tobacco and taking it back for resale.
Liu Haiyang saw soldiers from various countries carrying whole bags of drugs on the plane, the less courageous ones carried a bag of marijuana, and the brave ones simply carried a bag of opium.
No one cares at all!
Even after Liu Haiyang inquired about it, he discovered that some US soldiers actually had gang backgrounds. They came to serve in Afghanistan, and while receiving training, they also helped their gangs find sources of drugs and brought them back.
As long as it doesn't go too far, basically no one will take it seriously at this time.
The NATO military system that is touted by everyone is rotten in Afghanistan, and it is rotten from top to bottom.
Liu Haiyang, whose outlook on life had been refreshed, sat next to "Three Yellow Chicken", playing with a small telescope that he had exchanged for a bowl of beef noodles, and said to "Three Yellow Chicken": "Brother Chicken, where are we going?"
'Three Yellow Chicken' rubbed his nose and said: "Go to an American military base outside. The 100,000 acres of land you are acquiring is too small. Let's go there and take a look. If you think it is suitable, we will also take the land near the military base. Come down.
If appropriate, the infrastructure there would be ready and workers' dormitories would be omitted. "
"100,000 acres is still small?"
Liu Haiyang looked at the 'Three Yellow Chickens' in surprise and said: "Brother Chicken, our boss said before he left that we need to build the 100,000 acres into a model project. Our budget is limited. It is too big for me to handle." ”
After hearing this, the 'Three Yellow Chickens' said nonchalantly: "What can't you handle?
Look at a good place, draw a good line, and let people go in and plant.
Don't use those messy advanced technologies, use tractors instead of large animals, and hire people to do the rest.
Those smart gadgets of yours will wait until the greenhouses around the base are erected before entering. "
"ah?"
Liu Haiyang said in surprise: "This, this doesn't work, right? Whose land does this belong to?"
'Three Yellow Chickens' looked at a bare hillside not far away and a military base on it. He shook his head and said: "Of course it belongs to P·B now. I don't know in the future. It depends on whether Class L of the Tower understands it or not." .
100,000 acres is too little. Our boss always thought that you had taken 100,000 acres, and he specifically told me to support you, but in the end it was only 100,000 acres. What are these enough for? "
Liu Haiyang looked at the surprisingly loud "Three Yellow Chickens" and said a little unreasonably: "What we have acquired is flat land close to water sources, which is very convenient for concentrated planting...
You see, there are hills all around, so it’s not convenient to take it down..."
While Liu Haiyang was talking, a pickup truck driving in front of him stopped at the entrance of the military base...
The Tajik special forces "Radar" got out of the car and showed the lion armband on his arm. Then he exchanged a few words with the soldier guarding the gate, and the gate of the base opened.
The 'Three Yellow Chickens' drove the car into the base, then pushed the door and got out of the car and said hello to a major officer who came to greet him, and then led Liu Haiyang to the wall behind the base...
After boarding a scaffolding and leaning his upper body out of the wall, the 'Three Yellow Chicken' checked it with a telescope, then pointed in a direction towards Liu Haiyang and said, "Let's see what that is?"
After hearing this, Liu Haiyang raised his telescope and looked over, and then he saw a large sea of gorgeous flowers in the interlaced area of several hills two kilometers away.
There is also a small village nearby. Some men gather in the open space to chat, while children run and play among the gorgeous flowers.
Liu Haiyang has seen the world now, but when he saw this scene that could only be seen in news pictures in the past, he was still surprised and said: "Oh my god, those are poppies..."
The 'Three Yellow Chickens' looked at Liu Haiyang with a slightly horrified expression on his face, and he said with a smile: "There are places like this everywhere in southern Afghanistan...
These are the problems my boss wants to solve! "
When Liu Haiyang heard this, he said worriedly: "Brother Chicken, what does this have to do with us getting the land?"
‘Three Yellow Chicken’ spread his hands and said: “You have to prove to these people that growing grains and vegetables is more profitable than growing poppies, and then convince them to join…”
"I?"
Liu Haiyang pointed to his nose and said fearfully: "Brother Ji, you want me to convince the drug dealer?"
‘Three Yellow Chickens’ waved his hands and said: “Those are not drug dealers, they are just farmers.
We will get rid of the drug dealers, and your task is to convince those farmers that they can feed themselves by growing food and vegetables. "
Saying "Three Yellow Chickens" looked at Liu Haiyang who looked reluctant, and said: "Their income from growing an acre of poppy is only about 150 US dollars..."
Liu Haiyang waved his hand and said: "Brother Ji, you are mistaken. This is not a simple calculation of income, but the price of food produced by large-scale industrialization, which is far lower than the food they grow themselves.
If one acre of good land in Afghanistan is properly managed, it can produce about 350 to 400 kilograms of wheat. Wheat in the international market only costs US$300 per ton, and even with freight, it will not exceed US$400 per ton.
Excluding manpower and chemical fertilizers, without subsidies, it may be difficult for ordinary people to make a living by growing wheat in Afghanistan. "
After hearing this, the 'Three Yellow Chicken' nodded slightly and said, "Then advise them to grow enough wheat to make a living, and then plant some vegetables with higher value.
Anyway, we need to keep them busy and have something to look forward to, otherwise our boss will start a war with the local farmers on drug control.
Our boss will seek some assistance from the United Nations, but the main solution to the problem still depends on you.
If you succeed in one or two pilots, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime will hang your photo on the wall of honor. "
After hearing this, Liu Haiyang rubbed his face vigorously and said helplessly: "Brother Ji, let me think about it, I have to think about it..."
The 'Three Yellow Chickens' laughed happily, put their arms around Liu Haiyang's shoulders, and said with a smile: "No matter how much you think about it, you can't just take a look at it..."
Come on, I'll take you down for a walk, take a look at the surrounding land conditions, and chat with the poppy farmers.
As long as you nod, we will spend money to buy those poppy fields and burn them. If you don't agree, we will wait for them to trade opium and arrange troops to kill them all..."
Liu Haiyang looked at the ‘Three Yellow Chickens’ with a horrified expression and said, “Don’t you need to be so exaggerated?”
'Three Yellow Chickens' said seriously: "It's really not that exaggerated. I think the minors can still survive..."
Saying "Three Yellow Chickens" and looking at Liu Haiyang's frightened face, he laughed and said: "Don't be afraid, I'm kidding you, the people in P·B are not butchers.
But now you understand how important your responsibility is!
You are a 26-year-old master of agriculture and computer science, you can definitely handle it! "
Liu Haiyang let out a sigh of relief and said helplessly: "Even if I am made of iron, how many nails can I drive?"
As someone who has experienced this, he rubbed his nose and said, "It's indeed a bit difficult, but you are the boss now, so you can recruit people.
Call your mentors, brothers, etc., lure them over with a high salary, and then find a group of smarter local young people to train them.
Let me tell you, when the time comes, let our boss arrange for you to go to Kabul University to be a nominal professor or something, and you will specifically look for those beautiful girls to be your students.
Nowadays, exotic customs are popular, and you bunch of agricultural students can't do well in China. Why not come here and work for a few years with a high salary, and maybe you can bring a beautiful girl back with you.
Let me tell you, many of the domestic construction workers who went to work in Afika got beautiful wives at the resort of our boss’s hunting guide company...
They don’t need betrothal gifts or RVs, they can shoot guns when they go out, they can cook at home, and they don’t delay having children at all. If they marry someone back home, they will not only feel happy, but also feel safe! "
Saying "Three Yellow Chickens" looked at Liu Haiyang who looked unbelieving, and said with a smile: "Don't believe it, let me tell you, the boss of P·B started his family by marrying an MSL wife.
Of course, our boss lady is not a mortal, but other MSL girls are not bad either...
I'm optimistic about you! "
Liu Haiyang smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Ji, I'm married..."
‘Three Yellow Chickens’ spread out their hands and said, “I don’t mind my sister Ah Qionghan, you are doing a good deed!”
