Chapter 980 General (2/2)

The reason for setting up the site at that particular location was most likely to prevent

the government forces from encircling and suppressing the camp. Remonin left himself

an escape route. If the government forces attacked, he could take his people to take

refuge in two other countries.

Judging from that, General Remonin's power was not very terrible. Li Du relaxed and

carefully observed the situation of the camp.

From the helicopter, he saw that the camp was on a terraced hill. Instead of growing

crops, however, the people of the camp used the terraces to build houses.

Li Du counted about thirty houses, with the largest building probably being the general's

mansion.

The terraces of the hill also served as a parking lot fora jumble of rusty pickup trucks,

military-green heavy trucks, motorcycles and more.

At the base of the hill, Li Du saw swarms of men looking no bigger than ants. They were

training.

From the bottom of the mountains by the terraced road that ran around them, there

were many checkpoints. The fence was spiked with bayonets and bordered with

sandbags. There was also a stand of machine guns.

Around the hilltop building, there were many anti-aircraft guns and machine gun

positions. When Li Du's helicopter appeared, another helicopter flew into the barracks.

Li Du picked up his binoculars and looked through them. He thought it must be either an

armed combat helicopter or a civilian one like theirs.

When the door of the helicopter was moved aside, he saw black men sitting inside.

There were heavy machine guns on the floor of the helicopter.

They landed on a flat concrete pitch under the watchful eye of an army helicopter on a

large hill.

A group of men waited nearby, some with guns, others with trumpets and drums.

The burly black man at the head of the party had a red beret on his head, a pair of large

sunglasses, a military uniform, and a medal on his chest.

”Is this General Remonin?” Asked Li Du. The lion hunter nodded.

The helicopter moving, they descended, and the general greeted them warmly.

Li Du looked at the black soldiers calmly, although they were a formidable force. They

had big arms and barrel-like chests, and carried Russian rifles.

Brother Wolf looked at him and smiled.

”What's up?” Li Du asked in a low voice.

Brother Wolf said, ”Just fancy, it wouldn't be difficult to assassinate him if Big Ivan and I

joined hands.”

Li Du wanted to ask more questions, but as the black general approached, he had to

give him his full attention.

”Ha ha ha, welcome to the VIP. It is a great honor for the democratic army to have such

distinguished guests come to my humble place!” Remonin laughed, showing two rows

of white teeth.

Democratic army? Li Du knew the flag of his army.

The lion hunter shook hands with Remonin, flattered him repeatedly, and introduced Li

Du.

Li Du, too, shook hands with Remonin amidst the sounds of horns, drumming, and

music. Now Li Du understood that the trumpets and drums he saw before they landed

were actually the general's military band.

Although he was reluctant to come to a dangerous place like Mozambique, at this

moment he was very glad to have come.

General Remonin received him in a very flattering manner, complete with a military

orchestra. Li Du had never seen anyone but national leaders get this kind of treatment.

Not only did the military band play, but the soldiers with rifles gave them a goose-step.

Li Du stood beside the general, astonished to see this full-blown military parade.
