Siheyuan: I am Jia Dongxu's cousin

When Wang Mazi heard what Li Jun said, he knew that the matter was settled.

He said angrily: "Go ahead, all of you go! I'm going to look for Black Sister!"

Looking at the 2nd Wang Mazi who was leaving, Li Jun smiled and said to Zhuge Bai, "Xiaobai, how long do you think Mazi can last this time?"

"Three minutes!" Zhuge Bai said seriously.

"I can't guess, two and a half at most."

Hearing Li Jun's words, Zhuge Bai couldn't hold it anymore, the corners of his mouth rose, and he nodded, "Well, it's not impossible!"

……

……

Half an hour later, Li Jun stood beside the Hercules transport plane and shouted to his brothers behind him: "Behave yourself when you get to Somalia and don't provoke anyone. Our target this time is the Viking Pirates."

"Do you understand everything?" Li Jun asked loudly.

"I understand!" English, French and Chinese were mixed together.

"Okay, register!"

150 fully armed "Defenders" members quickly ran into the cabin.

Looking at their neat appearance, you can tell that this group of people trains a lot.

The annual budget of the "Defenders" was as much as 5000 million US dollars, which was a lot of money in the early 70s.

Li Jun sat in the cockpit and said to Zhuge Bai who was taking off in the Hercules: "Xiaobai, how long will it take us to reach Somalia?"

Zhuge Bai calculated in his head and said, "About two hours!"

"So fast!" Li Jun exclaimed.

"It would be great if Longguo also had this kind of aircraft. It can fly over 300 kilometers per hour, which is really fast!" Li Jun said again.

"Brother Jun will have it, and our country will definitely have it in the future." Zhuge Bai said.

“I really hope this day will come sooner!”

The Hercules plane gradually rose into the air. Li Jun looked at the "Defender" headquarters which was slowly becoming the size of an ant, wondering what he was thinking.

One of the important reasons why Zhang Weiguo purchased the Hercules was because of his take-off and landing requirements.

The C-130 Hercules transport aircraft was produced by Lockheed in the 50s. It is equipped with four turboprop engines, each of which can provide 4200 horsepower. The maximum flight speed can reach 315 kilometers per hour.

It is precisely because the C-130 Hercules transport aircraft is a tactical transport aircraft powered by a turboprop engine that it can take off and land on simple runways, which is very suitable for the complex and simple road conditions in Africa.

The "Defender" base only needs to build a flat dirt road to meet the takeoff conditions for the C-130 Hercules transport aircraft.

The C-130 Hercules transport aircraft is also equipped with air conditioning and pressurization systems in the cockpit and cargo compartment to ensure the comfort and safety of personnel or cargo transportation. Under normal circumstances, it can carry 150 people.

Two hours passed quickly, and Zhuge Bai drove the Hercules to land on the runway that Qian Jianjun had prepared in advance.

After everyone got off the plane in the afternoon, Li Jun said to Zhuge Bai, "Xiaobai, you will have to work hard to fly 6 times. Try to bring all 1000 brothers here today."

"Take turns with William, safety is the most important!" Li Jun patted Zhuge Bai's shoulder and instructed.

"Don't worry, Jun-ge, I know the seriousness of the situation."

"Um……"

After the Hercules transport plane took off again, Li Jun, led by Qian Jianjun, came to the Defenders branch in Somalia.

The Somalia branch is the first branch of the Defenders in Africa since its establishment.

The hijacked freighter was originally carrying supplies and arms for Qian Jianjun, but unexpectedly it failed and was hijacked by the Vilan Pirates.

As soon as he sat down, Li Jun couldn't wait to ask: "How are the people on the Jianjun cargo ship? What are the conditions proposed by the other party?"

Qian Jianjun was also very angry at this time. He had just become the leader of the branch, and the Vilan Pirates gave him such a huge gift. If Li Jun had not suggested to stabilize the other party temporarily, Qian Jianjun would have brought more than 200 people from the branch to attack them.

"There are 25 people on Junge's cargo ship, including 10 crew members, one captain, two first mates, and the rest are technicians sent by Zhonghua Military Industry."

"Brother Jun, give the order. I will lead my men to rescue the person immediately if you give the order."

Li Jun did not act impulsively, but asked carefully: "Are the personnel safe now? What are the other party's conditions?"

"The boss has specifically instructed us to ensure the safety of the personnel, and we can only do the rest after the other party releases them."

Hearing Li Jun say this, Qian Jianjun could only reply honestly, even though he was a little unwilling: "Our people are safe for the time being. We have sent people to negotiate with the other party. The other party wants 10 US dollars per person. We have to pay 230 million US dollars before they are willing to release us."

"230 million US dollars?" Li Jun can still decide on this amount and regard it as a payment for the other party's life.

Li Jun thought for a moment and said to Qian Jianjun, "Give it to the other party!"

"Brother Jun!" Qian Jianjun said somewhat unwillingly.

230 million US dollars!

Qian Jianjun, you only earned 46 RMB a month in China, which is only 4.6 US dollars if calculated on the black market.

Even if he joins Zhonghua Security now, his annual salary is only 10 US dollars. This is the salary he can get as one of the earliest people to follow Li Jun to join the "Defenders". Other brothers do not have this treatment.

It would take Qian Jianjun 230 years of work to earn 23 US dollars, but he just gave it to the pirates. As a man from Northeast China, Qian Jianjun felt extremely aggrieved.

Looking at Qian Jianjun, whose veins were bulging, Li Jun explained: "This is the safest way. We must ensure the safety of our personnel."

"Just let them keep the money first. When the hostages come back, I promise to pay them back with interest."

"After robbing us, this matter won't end so easily!!"

After hearing what Li Jun said, Qian Jianguo handed the information of the Blue Pirates to Li Jun and personally led people to negotiate with the other party.

After Qian Jianjun left, Li Jun looked through the information Qian Jianguo had obtained alone.

The information is very detailed, and in addition to information on the Viking pirates, it also includes information on other forces in Somalia.

Somalia is located at the easternmost tip of the African continent, bordering the Gulf of Aden to the north and the Indian Ocean to the east. It has a superior geographical location and is of great strategic significance.

To put it in the ancient saying of the Dragon Kingdom, it is a place that military strategists must fight for.

At the same time, Somalia is a country that mainly relies on animal husbandry, mainly raising camels. In the 70s, Somalia was one of the countries with the largest number of camels per capita in the world, and was known as the "Camel Kingdom".

Somalia also has a long history. The national culture is influenced by many cultures, including India, Yemen, Sumatra, etc.

In the 70s, Somalia was still under the rule of General Mohamed Siad Barre, who came to power in a military coup in 1969 and began scientific socialist reforms.

Under the rule of General Mohamed Siad Barre, Somalia attempted to improve its international status through domestic reforms and foreign policy. In terms of GDP, Somalia's GDP in 1970 was $3.23 million, accounting for 0.0109% of the world's total GDP.

Although Somalia's GDP is not high, it was still militarily powerful in the 70s and was one of the countries receiving military assistance from the Soviet Union at the time.

Especially between 1964 and 1976, the Soviet Union continuously provided Somalia with military equipment worth US$1.65 million and helped Somalia train a large number of officers.

According to the historical trajectory, the civil war in Somalia broke out in 1991. This war lasted for 20 years and caused serious damage to the culture of Somalia. This is how the Somali pirates that people are familiar with on the Internet came into being.

The "Defenders" branch is located on the border of Somalia and is not within the Somali territory. But even so, these pirates should not board the ship of the Flower Planting Group!

When Li Jun turned to the next page and saw the detailed introduction of the Blue Pirates, he understood why the other party had targeted the cargo ship of the Flower Planting Group.
