After arranging Aisha to rest in an empty room, Jiang Chen went to the captain's room. om
When he arrived, Ivan and Bakari were already waiting there.
Bakari is the black young man from Niger who once served as the manager of the Futureman Security Company and was responsible for the logistics operations of the military base. After the Futureman Security Company was deregistered, Ivan asked him if he was willing to accept a job transfer and leave his hometown to go to the other side of the earth. Bakari readily agreed. His only requirement was to take his wife and children with him. Being away from his impoverished hometown was almost a dream for him living in Central Africa.
"Are you still used to the climate here?"
Bakari smiled honestly, showing his white teeth, and said in broken English, "I'm used to it, but it's a bit trendy."
"It's normal. After all, this is the sea." Ivan grinned and patted the guy on the shoulder.
"Okay, let's get down to business. Ivan should have already explained it to you." Jiang Chen glanced at Ivan, then looked into Bakari's eyes and said.
"Of course." Bakari nodded.
At present, the relationship between Starring Trading Company and Futureman International is not disclosed to the outside world. Bakari signed a confidentiality agreement before coming. After signing the agreement, he will wear an electronic collar for ten years. As for the benefit, his salary will be increased from US$400 per month to US$100,000 per year, which is the same level as the salary of Ivan and others.
"So what's your answer?"
"I have no reason to refuse." Bakari said with a relaxed tone.
Nodding, Jiang Chen took out the silicone collar from his pocket and handed it to Bakari's hand. The black guy didn't hesitate and put it on his neck in front of Jiang Chen.
"Don't take it too seriously. This thing just serves as a warning."
"I understand, but this thing feels weird when worn." Bakari touched his neck and said.
"It'll be fine after a while." Ivan smiled and patted his shoulder. "Man, you're on our side now."
Jiang Chen smiled, looked at Bakari and said. "Same as before, you will be responsible for the logistics of the military base in the future. Including fresh water, food, and daily necessities. As for arms and ammunition, I have other channels to solve it. You only need to drag things from the warehouse on Coro Island Just come."
"Put it on me." Bakari said confidently.
Jiang Chen nodded, then looked at Ivan, "You must have heard that the national defense of the new country will be borne by our Star Ring Trading Company. I plan to build a military base on this island, not for training. That kind of thing. Do you have any suggestions for this military base?"
Ivan had served in Ukraine and was considered a veteran of the Soviet Union. Even if he was not an expert, he should have some unique insights into these things.
"Deep-water port. The shoal area near this island is too wide. Larger ships cannot even get close. Without a deep-water port, both the transportation of supplies and the flexibility of the army will be limited."
"The deep-water port will definitely be built, but what about other aspects?" Jiang Chen said.
"Barracks, training ground, radar station, apron, airstrip... That's basically it," Ivan grinned, "This island is quite large in size, quite similar to Wake Island in the US military. .But the area is larger than that.”
"Well, I will find someone to undertake the construction of the military base through bidding. You have to pay more attention to this."
"No problem." Ivan smiled.
"Then let's do this for now. Let's dismiss the meeting."
... ...
The move took an entire afternoon.
It is indeed troublesome for the boat to go back and forth between the island and the ship. Jiang Chen has made up his mind to contact people to repair the deep water port as soon as possible when he returns tomorrow.
Although it was tiring to move things and build a house, Jiang Chen found that each of their faces was filled with happiness and joy.
In order to escape the flames of war ignited by extremists, they led a homeless life with their families, and now they have finally settled down again. Start a new life on the other side of the earth, on a picturesque island.
Although it is just a deserted island now, no one doubts that tomorrow will be better.
Everyone is motivated by the enthusiasm to rebuild their homes. Soon, military tents were set up in the open space in the center of the island.
In the evening, people gathered in the center of the island. Piles of bonfires were lit and the ingredients stored in the ship were taken out. A barbecue party was held.
Children ran around the camp, wives cuddled with their husbands, and the lively people sat in a circle, bragging, eating meat and drinking wine.
The aroma of barbecue fills the camp, just like a picnic.
Later, Jiang Chen also joined in, and a young man whose ancestral home was from the turkey country enthusiastically invited him to taste the burnt red turkey he roasted.
It was so crispy on the outside and tender on the inside that Jiang Chen almost swallowed it with his tongue.
Breathing the hot and humid sea breeze while drinking the refreshing ice-cold beer is a great feeling.
The barbecue party lasted until early in the morning and the people who enjoyed themselves consciously picked up the barbecue grills and garbage on the ground. Although it had only been half a day, they had already developed an indescribable sense of belonging to this island.
how to say
Compared with the bombardment of Damascus, life here is simply wonderful.
The next day, people did not stay in bed because of yesterday's carnival. Months of military training had formed a habit for them, and they woke up early in the morning.
The men lined up in the open space and began the day's training under the leadership of the old instructor.
Women and children also get up early because they want to see the sunrise over the sea.
Since there were no extra tents prepared on the island, Jiang Chen and Ayesha spent last night on the ship. It is shameful to say that compared to those hard-working soldiers, Jiang Chen slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up from the little birdie Aisha.
After washing up, the two of them did not go back to the island, but returned directly to the yacht.
The matter at the military base still needs to be resolved by him. He needs to return to Coro Island as soon as possible. He also has to take a flight to Australia.
The old fisherman had woken up long ago, and there was a bucket of fresh sea fish on the yacht. Seeing Jiang Chen, the old fisherman named Kaqi was a little embarrassed. He got up early in the morning, and seeing that Jiang Chen hadn't gotten up yet, he drove his yacht out to sea to catch a net of fish.
However, Jiang Chen just laughed and didn't care about the little oil he used. He asked him for two fish in a joking tone and asked him how to cook the fish to make it delicious.
Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't care about him using the yacht's oil for smuggling, the old fisherman was relieved. While holding the steering wheel, he introduced how to deal with the fish. Which areas can be eaten and which areas should be thrown away.
Jiang Chen was not very confident when he heard it, but Ayesha listened attentively and even secretly memorized it on the ep. The little girl thought Jiang Chen was suddenly interested in eating sea fish, so she secretly made up her mind to master this new cooking skill.
As soon as the conversation started, the old fisherman finished talking about sea fish and started to talk about interesting stories about his fishing days at sea. This time Aisha showed little interest, but Jiang Chen listened with interest.
It is unimaginable that this old fisherman could rattle off such a long list of interesting things in a fishing life that seemed so boring to others.
In this relaxed and happy atmosphere, the one hundred and fifty kilometers journey passed by in an instant. (.)
