Chapter 980 General (1/2)
Li Du did not take Sophie with him. Mozambique's situation was worse than South
Africa's, so Sophie and the four little ones stayed in Durban. Big Quinns and Big Ivan
remained with them and were responsible for their safety.
In order to ensure his own safety, Li Du put many things into the little bug's black hole
space before his departure: grenades, guns, crossbows and other weapons, spare
satellite phones, and a variety of drugs, including some powerful poisons and
tranquilizers that he bought through special channels.
On the way, Li Du asked, ”What is the intention of General Remonin in trying to be
friends with me?”
The lion hunter chuckled and said, ”What purpose can it serve? General Remonin is
very open and generous, and he likes to make friends.”
Li Du laughed. ”Why won't you be honest?”
The lion hunter rubbed his chin moodily, and said, ”He wants to make friends with
handsome young men like you, and besides, as far as I know, diamond mines had
recently been discovered in the general's territory.”
Isn't honesty great? Now that Li Du knew what the general wanted, he felt more secure.
The other side knew his identity and wanted to get him over to see if he could negotiate
a deal for the mined diamonds.
Li Du too rubbed his chin. ”How is General Remonin's temper? I won't have any
problems there, will I?”
Brother Wolf, who was sitting in front of the co-pilot seat, said when they were boarding
the helicopter that if Li Du wanted to turn back midway, he could just say so and Brother
Wolf would deal with the pilot.
Although his pilot skills were not as good as Big Ivan's, he could still deal with the
ordinary business helicopter.
The lion hunter raised his hand and said, ”I swear by my business and my life that there
will be no danger. Besides, he's not a warlord, he's a tribal chief, though we call him
General.”
Li Du also believed that there would likely be no problems. He was not just any ordinary
person and, if the lion hunter dared to put him into the fire pit, the Winston group would
not let it pass, and the lion hunter would hardly dare to take the risk of business
bankruptcy.
Diamond ore was found in Mozambique, which was still a relatively rare occurrence.
Mozambique was rich in resources, but diamonds were rare. The natural resources
mainly consisted of tantalum, coal, iron, copper, gold, titanium and natural gas.
The country had the world's largest reserves of tantalum, about 7.5 million tons, most of
which had yet to be developed, with few people willing to step up to the task.
It didn't take long for the helicopter to fly over. General Remonin's territory was on the
border of South Africa, Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
Mozambique's terrain was rugged, with many plateaus and mountains, and less than
two fifths flat land.
In terms of topography, it was roughly divided into three steps from northwest to
southeast: the northwest is plateau and mountain, with an average altitude of 500-1000
meters. In the central part, the height was between 200 and 500 meters, with occasional
peaks. The southeastern coastal plain had an average elevation of 100 meters.
The border of the three countries was in the very southwest of Mozambique, with
stretches of mountains where General Remonin's territory was naturally located.
These mountains were very desolate, some were barren mountains and sandy
mountains, with no human settlement apart from some tattered tents. Such territory had
no value, so no wonder the government was reluctant to regulate it.
Although the lion hunter assured him on the way there that the general was not a
warlord but a tribal chief, Li Du saw no difference between the two.
Since he was known as General, Remonin naturally had an army camp, which was
located at the border of the Three Kingdoms.
