Chapter 91 Gold on the Cayman Seabed
Li Zishu knew about Reagan's Operation Condor, having seen it in his previous life. At that time, the Cold War mentality was prevalent and spread to Central and South America.
Among them were Biru, Colombia, Argentina, and even many other countries that caused a storm, but in the end only one country succeeded, and that was Kuba!
Here we have to mention Reagan's Condor Plan, in which Reagan supported pro-American countries, cracked down on ideological trends, and swept the liberation front at that time.
Many countries began to become chaotic, and that is how the magical South America came about. There is no country that has not experienced warlords, and no country that has not encountered civil unrest.
This has made Central and South America the back garden of the United States, causing the economies of these countries to fall into a slump!
Want to contact the guerrillas myself? Damn system, you want to kill me!
Exposing the CIA's crimes? That's too difficult!
Li Zishu was a little depressed!
This was the first time the system had proactively assigned a mission without detecting a crime. The reward was generous: the Valkyrie project. If I could get it, I'd definitely be a defense contractor!
And when it comes to the Liberation Front, there seems to be one area that cannot be avoided.
Colombian drug lord!
Damn it!
Back then, Pablo, the world's biggest drug lord, had contact with the Liberation Front! I learned this from watching the first and second seasons of the American TV series Narcos!
Later, because of being too arrogant, it was destroyed by EDA. The second-place Medellin Kelly Group took over and became the strongest in the world. The triangles in Asia were all younger brothers!
After three years, Kelly was defeated. Colombia, the world's largest drug lord nation, fell into decline. Mexico rose to prominence. Phoenix formed the Plaza United, becoming the world's strongest and establishing the first cartel in history! He also became Mexico's first godfather!
Dominate the poisonous country!
You want me to find the Colombian drug lord?
Is this a hint for the quest? It's a large, continuous quest!
Li Zishu gritted his teeth! It seems that he must go to Cayman!
"Li, Li, I didn't expect you to arrive so early!"
A voice interrupted Li Zishu's thoughts.
"Hello, who are you?" Looking at the enthusiastic middle-aged man in front of him, Li Zishu felt only unfamiliar.
"I'm Tucker, Tucker from Aviation Environment. We're talking on the phone. Nice to meet you!"
"Hello!"
Li Zishu stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party.
"Would you like to come and take a look at our booth? You're a partner!"
After that, Tucker took Li Zishu to the aviation environment exhibition hall. The aviation environment mainly includes the driving system and the electronic integrated helmet, which is used for the pilot.
We're currently collaborating with several companies, particularly Norma, to integrate flight helmets with the F-35 to achieve comprehensive information collection and communication. Assisted flight will allow pilots to fully integrate into combat scenarios. This is a key project for the future Air Force and will usher in a new era of change.
Less than a few minutes after I walked over, a few more people appeared on the side.
"Lee, I originally wanted to invite you, but I didn't expect Aviation Environment to get there first! On behalf of Ebit Systems, I welcome you."
"And I, on behalf of the God of Thunder, welcome you!"
Raytheon, Ebit, and AeroVironment, three military-industrial complexes, all gathered around Li Zishu.
At this moment, the media finally smelled a hint of hot spots.
Come here immediately.
"Thank you everyone! I'm honored!"
"Nothing, we are partners, aren't we?" Ebit's CEO smiled.
"No, we are not just ordinary partners, we are a strategic partnership!" Thor's people also laughed.
Li Zishu and Raytheon are strategic partners. Should Ebit Systems be included as well?
This is big news!
Many reporters took out their cameras.
"Could we, Ebit, also finance your advanced UAS company? Lee, we'll invest $500 million upfront to fully develop the Shrike!"
"Five hundred million is too little. We at Thor are planning to make additional investments! Can we discuss this sometime?"
"Of course, happy cooperation!" Li Zishu extended the invitation.
Li Zishu founded an advanced UAS company? He's going into the military industry? And he already has a strategic partner?
The reporters' eyes widened. Wasn't he the head of a mafia family? When did he stop investing in the three major industries and start working on the military industry? Oh my God!
He's clearly involved in dark ventures, like adult films, gentlemen's clubs, and even gambling! Does military industry have anything to do with him? Dark ventures are more fitting for him!
"Li, why don't we know about the aviation environment? Can we join in too?" Tucker was unwilling to fall behind. He had heard of the Shrike a long time ago. For the Switchblade, the Shrike's intelligent system was simply perfect and very suitable for miniaturized drones!
"Of course, we are all friends, and cooperation is a win-win situation!"
Haha, several company representatives around laughed!
"It seems you are busy. Let's talk when we are free!" After saying that, several responsible persons looked at the reporter and left with a smile.
"Li, when did you start your drone company?"
"Li, are you planning to enter the drone market?"
"Li, what plans do you have for the future military or aerospace industry?"
Looking at the reporters who surrounded him like sharks, Li Zishu smiled bitterly.
"Everyone, Zhiyuan Group is a family-owned business. To expand our business, I acquired the factories and laboratories of Aero Environment and the factory of Ebit. In the future, drones and artificial intelligence will play a vital role, bringing convenience and change to the world!"
“So you decided to get into drones and maybe even artificial intelligence?”
Li Zishu nodded.
"Will Advanced UAS Companies Get Defense Contracts?"
“No comment!”
Will Advanced UAS Companies Become the New Military-Industrial Complex?
“No comment!”
"So what are your plans next?"
Li Zishu suddenly smiled. "I will acquire SPACE and complete Starlink! Explore space! Humanity will set foot on the sea of stars!"
Acquire SPACE?
The reporters were excited!
If drones are aviation, then SPACE is aerospace.
A mafia leader who doesn't want to be involved in pornography, gambling, or drugs wants to get involved in aerospace? Oh my God!
Under the protection of Ghost and others, Li Zishu finally escaped from the terrifying group of sharks.
Walking to an empty corner, Li Zishu sat on a semi-curved sofa and gasped for breath.
"It's so tiring! I shouldn't be a celebrity!"
"I'll help you deal with the paparazzi!" Ghost said indifferently.
I was just about to say, you are trying to trick me!
The phone rang! It was Scarface calling!
"boss!"
"explain!"
"All the listed companies under your management have skyrocketed!"
"Yeah?"
"The air show interview video just now has been broadcast online and on TV! RIC has been stimulated by the positive news and has rebounded! People are even speculating whether your next listed company will be an advanced UAS company. Many institutions are optimistic about it and have contacted us to inquire about financing."
"Ignore them. Is there something wrong with RIC?"
"Some people bought into the market yesterday, and after the market rallied today, some people are selling. Posts about dock workers causing unrest are popping up online again!"
"You're trying to take advantage of me. Have you found anyone?"
"Found it!" Scarface said as he hung up the phone! He was in Liberty City right now!
In a high-end apartment in Liberty City, Manhattan, a short-haired man looked at today's stock market with a smile on his face.
"I originally thought this gangster would buy stocks to drive up his own stock price, but I didn't expect him to use the air show to release good news! However, doing this will only make us more money!"
After saying that, he picked up the phone.
"Yes, let the union continue their work, and transfer money to the media company so they can continue digging up materials on Zishu Li! Yes, I want to see the results tomorrow! Discredit him!
Be careful? No, not really, it's just a small local Chinese family! We are Wall Street!
The man hung up the phone, poured himself a glass of wine, looked at the trend chart on his notebook and smiled!
With a click, the door of his apartment quietly opened and three masked men walked in.
"Who are you?"
The three men raised their pistols!
"No, you can't do this! Are you robbing me? I have a watch in my bedroom and cash in the drawer under my nightstand! Please don't hurt me!"
The leading man walked forward without saying a word and took out a syringe.
"What are you going to do? You're not robbers?"
"The boss asked me to say hello to you!" After saying that, Scarface grabbed the other person and stabbed him in the neck.
"Don't play with stockholders anymore! Don't use such despicable tricks!
This is hard-earned money! Bastard!
Take him to the terrace and open the window!"
The man was in a daze, walking around and stopping like a zombie!
Scarface put a handful of pills by the window!
After a while, the man climbed out of the window!
Glancing downstairs, Scarface smiled disdainfully. A small fund dared to use dirty tricks against Zhiyuan. It really didn't know how to live or die!
"Boss, it's dealt with! Jumped off the building, overdosed!"
Li Zishu hung up the phone!
I stayed in Debai for another two days, met with the prince of Abubi, and then socialized with major military and industrial enterprises.
Li Zishu finally dragged his tired body and boarded the plane to the Cayman Islands.
The Cayman Islands, which belonged to the British Empire, is simply a colony.
The US looked down on and did not want to fight with the British Empire at that time, so the Cayman Islands became one of the richest places below the Gulf of Mexico.
This place is a tax haven just like Panama!
As long as it is US dollars, no matter where it comes from, it can be easily deposited in major banks in Cayman. This is also the place where drug lords are most active. Large amounts of cash transferred from the United States will land here!
After landing in Cayman, Li Zishu arrived in this tropical island country.
The area is not very large and the population is not large, only a few hundred thousand people, and the environment is quite good.
The sun was a bit scorching, but Li Zishu, who had adapted to life in California, thought it was okay!
The coordinates of the nautical chart are below Cayman, where the famous Caribbean Sea is!
Surrounding it are Honduras, Jamaica, and Guatemala, with Panama and Colombia Medellin below, which was the second-place Kelly Medellin Group back then, and above it is Cuba, and a little above that is Miami and the Gulf of Mexico!
To put it bluntly, there aren't many other things in this area, but there are a lot of drug lords!
Especially the largest cartel in Mexico at present, the Bay Area Cartel operates in the upper Gulf of Mexico. Their main markets are Texas and Florida, especially the wealthy Miami!
It's not just them. Honduran gangs, Haitian gangs, Guatemalans, and even Colombian drug lords are all fighting for Texas and Florida. The chaos here is worse than California, but still a little worse than San Los!
As a transit point, Cayman has become a paradise for drug lords and gangsters. Argentina's Samba Country, and even Uruguay and Bolivia, use it as a transit point to Europe.
Cayman is actually a transshipment center for contraband worldwide!
"What should we do next?" After settling in the hotel, Ghost didn't know what Li Zishu wanted to do!
"Rent a yacht, get some diving and salvage equipment, and better notify Lao Liu to prepare a transport plane!"
Salvage equipment?
The ghost was confused, "You still want to work in the salvage industry?" This was no joke. The legend of Pirates of the Caribbean has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts through movies.
There are shipwrecks and treasures everywhere!
Li Zishu didn’t know whether it was a shipwreck or not, this was the sea chart given by the system!
Judging from the situation, it has nothing to do with pirates, but is related to drug lords.
"Boss, if we salvage it, we can only get 30%!"
"Why should I give it to you? Get Team Three ready. Make the yacht bigger!"
The ghost nodded, "I'll do it right away!"
Starting from George Town, Grand Cayman, Li Zishu also began his life at sea.
Xiya stood enjoying the sea breeze. The azure ocean was quite enchanting, but Li Zishu wasn't too fond of it. He'd watched too many movies in his previous life, and whenever he went into the ocean, he couldn't help but think of sharks! Great white sharks, at that!
Ghost asked Wrench to drive the boat while the other members rested in the cabin.
I walked around with a tablet.
"What are you looking at?"
"I'm watching the sonar feedback!"
"You know a lot!"
The ghost rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to Li Zishu!
"I'm warning you in advance, there's a shark here! It's a blue shark, though! But I can't say if there are any other sharks!"
Damn it!
Li Zishu had a dark face.
"I got a shark-proof suit and this good stuff!" After saying that, the ghost took out a box containing several strangely shaped rifles.
As a firearms expert, Li Zishu naturally recognized it. "ADS amphibious assault rifle?"
Ghost looked at Li Zishu blankly. "You recognize all this? I've even equipped it with a 2x scope and SPS ammunition. Don't worry, even if I encounter a shark, I can still riddle it like a sieve!"
"Boss, let me go down with you!" Xia walked over and picked up an amphibious rifle with some curiosity.
"No, you have no special training in diving. Wrench and I will go with him!" Ghost doesn't want his sister to get into trouble.
"Are you okay?" Xia was a little worried, after all, Haiti is different from the land.
"It's okay, the three of us can deal with dangerous creatures, I will take care of him!" After saying that, the ghost planned to check the equipment.
I found that Li Zishu had already picked up one and started to get familiar with it.
"He knows about such an obscure gun? And he can use it? Is he really an ordinary college student?" You should know that this is an amphibious rifle, which ordinary people cannot use. It is specially used by frogmen and submariners!
The three of them packed their equipment and jumped into the water directly from the back of the yacht.
The sea is very mysterious, and the seabed is full of unknowns. This sea area is not very deep. The three of them dived all the way down and could see various fish clearly under the bright sea surface.
Holding a metal detector, Li Zishu discovered that two places around him were shaking violently.
One is at three o'clock and the other is at eight o'clock.
First, he swam towards the three o'clock direction. Looking through the light, Li Zishu sighed. This shouldn't be the one.
It was the wreckage of a small, self-flying plane. But to avoid missing anything, Li Zishu went over to take a look. The cabin was cramped, and there was a dead man in the cockpit. A moray eel even shot out of his eye socket, nearly frightening him to death.
This person must not have been dead for too long. He is in a very high state of decay, but he can still be identified!
When he turned his head, he found the ghost waving at him.
Li Zishu slowly came to the cabin.
The ghost pointed inside, and Li Zishu saw a number of strange packages.
Fuck, drug trafficking!
This is a drug lord's plane!
Li Zishu waved his hand to indicate that they could leave. After a while, the three of them came to a place on the seabed. The depth was acceptable, and the fine sand on the seabed looked a little turbid under the light.
The detector in Li Zishu's hand deflected wildly.
The ghost leaned over, gestured at Li Zishu, and then pointed down.
Gold, there is plenty of gold here!
After making the gesture, the ghost pushed aside the sand on the seabed, revealing a box! One, two, ten in total. There were tons of gold here!
Damn it!
No, the system will not give you gold for no reason. Although it is valuable, it is just a drizzle compared to listed companies. There are other things here!
Li Zishu confirmed his guess, the clues related to drug lords, the CIA, and even the Liberation Front, revealing the things of Operation Condor!
This is the purpose of the nautical chart guiding me here!
