In the small town of Laguar, there has been continuous artillery fire for three or four days, and it has rarely was already scared because those who came to assassinate him were too fierce.
Even if Lin Zaifu led a team to help him, they would not be able to withstand the consumption of weapons and resources.
"Lin, how about we retreat?"
"Where to retreat? Tell me, where to retreat?"
Lin Zaifu's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at Aidid with great dissatisfaction:
"If you weren't still useful to me, I would have killed you long ago. I didn't know that working with you would cause so much trouble, fuck."
"I told you a long time ago to keep a low profile, but you insisted on arguing with me. Why are you saying you're retreating now?"
For the sake of money and to make his life more comfortable after retirement, Lin Zai Fu started making plans eight years ago.
Aidid was not his first partner, but he was definitely the one who made the most money for him among all the black warlords he had worked with.
Somalia has a very advantageous geographical location, so Lin Zai Fu had been eyeing it from the very beginning.
It’s a pity that Lin Zai Fu is just an unknown person in the Christmas family. Even if he is a military king, so what?
Does a large organization like the Christmas Family lack such talents?
No shortage!
Each time a mission is carried out, a team will consist of anywhere from twelve to twenty people, and the rewards for each mission are different.
If it’s good, it’s worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions; if it’s not so good, it’s worth nearly 10 million; and the worst is only worth a few hundred thousand.
Lin Zaifu still remembers the worst reward his team had ever received, which was 400,000 US dollars, shared among 16 people, and he only got 25,000 US dollars.
Some people may say that they can get 25,000 US dollars for completing a mission, which is already very good.
But you have to know that they are risking their lives. A life is only worth 25,000 US dollars?
There are many mercenary organizations in the Middle East. Isn't the reward for each mission of those mercenary organizations millions or tens of millions of US dollars?
It was precisely because of this that Lin Zaifu, while busy completing his tasks, was thinking about making extra money.
Especially after Lin Zaifu saw the advantages of Somalia, he immediately came up with an idea.
Over the past eight years, Lin Zai Fu has gradually brought all the members of his team into this money-making plan, because only in this way can he make more money more safely.
What is there to gain from Somalia?
Of course it’s selling arms!
Local warlords like Aidid have a huge demand for guns and ammunition.
Moreover, they often robbed passing ships and had money, and they also needed to sell the stolen goods, so they hit it off with Lin Zaifu and his group and became accomplices.
Lin Zaifu's team is in the open, so it is not easy for them to show up directly, but they can notify Aidid and others to carry out highway robbery and precise strikes.
The Christmas family has its own mission system, and many of the missions involve the Middle East.
Especially in recent years, it has become a frequent occurrence.
This information itself is worthless, but it can be very valuable to the outside world.
Therefore, Lin Zaifu and his men also allowed warlords such as Aidid to sell information.
It was precisely by relying on these unorthodox methods that Lin Zaifu and his team accumulated a lot of money in eight years.
Take Lin Zaifu himself for example, he owns properties in many places including Great Britain, North America, South America, South Asia, the Middle East, South Africa, etc.
Take South Africa as an example. He built several houses there that look ordinary on the outside, but are very luxurious on the inside, and there are also underground living spaces that are big enough to store nuclear bombs.
Isn't South Africa rich in gold?
Lin Zaifu buried one or two tons of gold under his mansions in Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, Johannesburg and other places.
Today, gold costs about four hundred dollars per ounce.
One ton of gold is 35,273 ounces, which means that one ton of gold is equal to more than 14 million US dollars.
In addition to gold, there are also US dollar cash, antiques, etc. Almost every property has at least 40 to 50 million US dollars stored in it.
In other words, he did not deposit the ill-gotten gains in the bank, but kept them all in his villa.
In addition, he has one or two private jets in North America, Great Britain, South Africa and South America to facilitate his travel.
All of this added up to Lin Zaifu's total wealth exceeding three billion US dollars.
As for the other members of the team, those who joined earlier have more than 2 billion US dollars, and those who joined later have 700 to 800 million US dollars.
That's why these people are trying so hard to protect Aidid and ensure that their money-making channels will not be easily destroyed.
Although people like Aidid can be completely abandoned, it is easy to abandon an Aidid, but it is very difficult to cultivate another Aidid.
"Fuck, who the hell is this? This is too hard a bone to chew!"
On the outskirts of the town of Laguar, Ding Guanjia, Zhang Dafu, Du Tianbao and others were cursing loudly, and they really didn't understand who they had met this time.
Before coming, Ding Guanjia and his colleagues heard that the colleagues who tried to assassinate Aidid were attacked, resulting in heavy casualties.
But I didn't expect the battle to be so fierce and it would be such a tough nut to crack.
Oh boy, that’s so difficult!
However, no matter how hard the bone is, Ding Guanjia and his team have to chew it.
"Captain Ding, why don't we apply for some high-tech?"
Peterrickson took a look at the battle situation ahead, then lowered his head and gave a suggestion while breathing heavily.
Aidid has emptied out almost all of his family fortune. Tens of thousands of soldiers are crowded in the small town of Laguar. They have walls and other barriers, and there are snipers like Lin Zaifu who can fire in bursts. So it is really not easy for Ding Guanjia and others to get close to the villa where Aidid is.
As for drones?
Lin Zaifu and his men also have drones, and Aidid has purchased a lot of drones in a steady supply. In addition, the town of Laguar is Aidid's base, and it stores enough food, water, ammunition, etc., so Aidid is not afraid of a tug-of-war.
On the contrary, people like Ding Guanjia will only become more and more dangerous as time goes by.
Because Aidid had already notified warlords elsewhere in Somalia, support was on the way.
Although having a large number of people is not an advantage, when the number of people reaches a certain level, it can become very dangerous for Ding Guanjia and his men.
What's more, Ding Guanjia and his men came here not to slaughter these soldiers, but to avenge their hatred and complete the task of assassinating Aidid. Before Ding Guanjia could respond to Peterrickson, his watch suddenly rang, and new information appeared on the display.
"Great, reinforcements are coming!"
After reading the message, Ding Guanjia said with great joy.
Wu Wendong, Peterrickson, Dan Vicky, Zhang Dafu and others also smiled and almost cheered with joy.
It must be said that this reinforcement came at the right time.
Less than ten minutes after Ding Guanjia and his friends were happy, dense drones flew in from all directions and launched indiscriminate attacks on the town of Laguar in mid-air.
The drones have marked the locations of Ding Guanjia and other friendly forces. As long as these places are not attacked, other places can be covered by firepower.
The entire town of Laguar was not big to begin with, with only three or four streets in total. After being covered by such firepower, it soon suffered heavy casualties.
Aidid's side suffered heavy casualties and had no time to grieve before they were finally harvested by Ding Guanjia and others.
When Lin Zaifu saw this scene, he had no choice but to give up resistance and sacrifice his rook to save his king.
Aidid was taken away by Lin Zaifu and his men, and took advantage of the chaos to disappear in the crowd.
Back in Beijing, Chen Guohua, who had been staring at the scene, frowned. Forty minutes had passed, but he still hadn't found the money of Lin Zaifu and his group.
why?
It’s just because Lin Zaifu and his group all traded in cash, there was no bank transfer record at all.
Even if there is, it is registered under the name of their family members, not under their own names.
It just so happens that their families are not the ones that are currently visible.
Because this group of people have not just one wife, but seven or eight wives.
Lin Zaifu's team consisted of sixteen people in total, and each of them had at least five wives. Although these wives were not registered, it was because of this that they were able to save their lives.
Caution is why they have been so safe.
"That doesn't make sense. Did these people really not leave any clues?"
Chen Guohua muttered to himself, while Gu Baishun beside him did not dare to disturb the former. He just stared at the time and prayed secretly in his heart that Chen Guohua could handle the matter quickly.
After another ten minutes, Chen Guohua still couldn't find the whereabouts of Lin Zaifu's funds, so he could only say to Gu Baishun:
"Old Gu, I have tried my best. From now on, you can only rely on yourselves."
"Old Chen, why don't you try harder? Really, this group of people is very powerful, but I believe in you."
Before Gu Baishun finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Guohua:
"Old Gu, it's not that I don't want to help you, but you can see the situation clearly yourself. I can't help you at all, because Lin Zaifu and his group don't have any transaction records at all. They must use cash transactions. Only in this way can this be explained."
After a pause, Chen Guohua continued:
“So, if you want to find Lin Zaifu’s funds, you can only find another way.”
If there is any other solution, it will not be something Chen Guohua can interfere with.
Because the reality is that for cash transactions, we need to find Lin Zaifu and his group, and then conduct a series of interrogations before we can get any results.
If they would rather die than speak out, then there is really nothing we can do.
Hearing Chen Guohua say this, Gu Baishun suddenly felt helpless.
"Then Lao Chen, can you help find them?"
"Aren't you sending people to chase them? According to my guess, since they use cash transactions, they must be very cautious. So after you catch them, you must be very careful during the interrogation. If you kill them, it will be troublesome to recover the money."
"Old Chen, are you saying that this group of people has a lot of funds?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Baishun asked in surprise.
Chen Guohua nodded, his expression slightly serious, and said:
"You can imagine that their deposits in Sydney Holdings Bank, Santander Bank, Barclays Bank, etc. are more than 5 billion US dollars, but even so, they are willing to risk their lives to do these things. You can imagine how much profit there is?"
"I have to criticize you for this. The people under your management made such a big mistake, and you didn't even notice any clues. You are a derelict in your duty as a leader."
After being scolded by Chen Guohua, Gu Baishun felt a little embarrassed, but what made him even more upset was that he could not get the money back, and Chen Guohua could not help him. What should he do?
All transactions were in cash. It is still unknown how much money is involved and where the money went.
Tens of billions of US dollars of funds is indeed a huge mistake, and it was concealed by Lin Zaifu and his group for so many years. To be honest, Gu Baishun was indeed a bit derelict in his duty.
Chen Guohua left and did not continue to participate in this matter.
He is not short of money. If he were short of money, he would definitely help Gu Baishun recover the money.
What's more, he has more important things to do recently, so he is too lazy to care about this matter.
However, before Chen Guohua had time to leave Wenjin Street, he was blocked by Wang Dingzuo halfway.
Lao Wang became even more clingy and held Chen Guohua back and wouldn't let him leave.
Wang Dingzuo also has a lot of things to do, mainly because of the recent events in Washington.
"No, Lao Wang, we shouldn't get involved in the election. There's no need to get involved."
Chen Guohua had many complaints about Wang Dingzuo's incessant nagging.
It is now September 1994 and October is coming soon. This time point has indeed reached a critical point in Washington.
Whether it was Tang Dake or Herbert Walker, the two sides were interacting with each other, and even small actions in secret were continuous.
It can almost be said that the competition between the two sides has reached a fever pitch, and the only thing left is to put the secret conflicts on the table for the whole world to see.
Wang Dingzuo was worried about these influences, so he hoped that Chen Guohua would go into seclusion again after a while.
After all, the election results in Washington have a huge impact on the global economy.
"Why worry about it? Just follow the previous strategy and everything will be fine. Don't worry."
Chen Guohua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He comforted Wang Dingzuo and was about to run away. At this time, Sun Shubo came. (End of this chapter)
