Chapter 310: Chief Danmo
Shogishi nodded, "Of course. Without a certain influence, it is simply impossible to gain a foothold in a place like Andira. Not to mention the need to maintain a huge underground arms black market. Do you know how much money is made every year from illegal trading on the black arms market like this? That's a real huge profit. The people who can do this kind of thing are either the warlords and princes who dominate one side, or the real local heroes. ”
Lin Rui shook his head and said, "He is still just a superficial figure, behind the scenes of the real black market, I don't know what kind of forces are hidden." The water is very deep. Contact Virtek today to see what he knows about this Danmo. ”
Shogishi nodded, and used the tactical computer to contact Virtek again.
"Hey, hello. What's the matter with finding me again so soon?" Virtek said strangely.
"We need to look up a person's information, and the more open the better. Lin Rui said.
Virtek smiled and said, "Who is it this time, it looks like you're still a little nervous." ”
"Vitak, have you ever heard that Andira has a person named Danmo?" Lin Rui asked.
Virtek hesitated for a moment and said, "You mean Danmo?"
"Yes. Lin Rui nodded.
"He is the chief of a large tribe north of Andira. How did you think to ask him?" Virtek frowned.
"There's a good chance he's got something to do with that black market of arms. We have to find this person and then try to get the seller's information from him. Lin Rui explained.
"Danmo is the twelfth chief of a northern tribe, of noble blood, and enjoys high local prestige. Virtek thought for a moment and said, "It's not easy for you to meet him. This man is famous for his herds of cattle and sheep, as well as his wives and concubines. Although he is not that kind of warlord, the tribal armed forces he controls should not be underestimated. Even a military dictator like Loren had to acquiesce to him exercising his power on his territory as a chieftain. ”
"Damn, it's another soil emperor, and it's the most troublesome to deal with such a person. Jason shook his head.
"He was on the northern outskirts of Como, where there was a private estate, guarded by a large number of militants. The tribal leader and a dozen of his wives lived there in a life of luxury that ordinary people could hardly believe. Vitak said. "He used to go to university in the UK, and I can send you a picture of him, but it's not very clear about more information. This man has always kept a low profile. ”
Perhaps, it is his special identity that can bring great cover and protection to the underground arms black market. Lin Rui nodded.
"That's right. Vytak said as he typed on the keyboard as he stared at the screen, "I just checked something. Despite his good concealment, Danmo has been shown to be involved in some illegal arms dealings. He was even in contact with some well-known terrorist organizations. ”
"Terrorist organization?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Yes, terrorist activities require a lot of money. Illegal arms deals, on the other hand, are businesses that can make huge profits in a short period of time. It seems that this Danmo is standing in the foreground, and using his special identity as an attraction and representative. But behind the entire arms black market, it is jointly operated by several well-known terrorist organizations. Virtek whispered.
"Is the Secret Society involved?" said Lin Rui with a slight frown.
"The Secret Society is different from these traditional terrorist organizations, they are only for money and profit. So they can cooperate with anyone, but they only stop at a shallow level of interest cooperation. So they're not going to get much into this kind of backroom dealing, and they don't trust anybody. My view is that even if they were involved, it wouldn't go too deep. They may be able to save as sellers or buyers, but they will not be behind the black market transactions. Virtek thought for a moment.
"This drone incident is very much like the method of the Secret Society. They used high-end equipment completely different from that of the local warlords, and even equipped with a temporary base that could be moved at any time, and a large on-board command center. This is difficult for terrorist groups or other armed groups on the ground to do.
Because this requires not only financial resources but also formalized military literacy, financial resources are simple, but the literacy of military personnel requires special training and long-term coordination. It is difficult to imagine any other military organization other than the Secret Order with such strength. It would be difficult for even the more specialized private military companies to make such a surprise attack and then suddenly disappear without a trace. It can even evade satellite detection. Shogishi thought for a moment.
Lin Rui nodded, "This shows that they also have an understanding of the time when the reconnaissance satellite passes overhead." That's why they can be completely avoided, leaving no trace, which ordinary local warlords and local armed guerrillas and the like simply can't do. ”
Virtek sighed and said, "I'll send you the coordinates of Danmo Manor. You'd better be careful, I have a feeling that you might be very risky when you go to see Danmo this time. Because in addition to Danmo, there are many interests involved behind the arms black market. No one wants their share of the cake to be touched by others. ”
Lin Rui nodded, and after Vitak transmitted the coordinates to them, he cut off the communication.
Mechanic Park Dong-sang looked at the on-board GPS positioning, frowned, and said, "That place is not far away, just twenty-six kilometers to the north." Shall we leave now?"
Lin Rui nodded, "Yes." Time is of the essence, and we have no time to hesitate. ”
Park Dong-sang nodded, turned around and drove. Two armoured off-road vehicles kicked up a sky of smoke and dust on dirt roads in Africa and headed north.
To the north of the old town of Como is a desert, and the only place in this desert where there is a source of water is Danmo's estate. The estate looks like an earthy yellow building, all made of traditional African style clay. It seems to be announcing the history of this ancient manor to everyone. The towering earthen walls on the periphery are like a castle in the middle of the wasteland.
On the earthen wall stood several armed men with loaded guns, and in the position of the gate there were even two symbolic smoothbore guns. Jason whistled, "They're not going to shoot us, are they?"
"I said Louie, what is the bulletproof level of your car?" asked Louis deliberately.
"NATO standard level 3, capable of protection against bullets and shrapnel, but not against anti-tank guns. Louie's face turned a little pale.
Lin Rui smiled and said, "Okay, relax, stay with us, you won't die." Besides, you're wearing a helmet. ”
Louis smiled awkwardly, but his smile was a little unsightly
