Over the years, Xi Jinping has never forgotten his dream of rebuilding an Arab empire that spans Central Asia, the Middle East, Egypt, and covers all Muslims in the world. This dream has also been the fundamental driving force that has supported him until now!
"Father, I will follow in your footsteps, be proud of you, and contribute all my strength, including my life, to the jihad of the Arab nation!"
Khalid looked at his father with a face full of enthusiasm, and his tone was extremely pious.
And just like him, the Taliban fighters in charge of security around him also looked at him with admiration on their faces, as if this thin and tall man had become the incarnation of Allah in the world, guiding them forward!
"For Jihad, for the future of all Muslims!" ** shouted at the right time.
"For Jihad, for the future of all Muslims!"
Fanatic voices filled the entire underground chamber, and at this moment the influence of religion was clearly revealed!
Compared with the control and brainwashing of believers by theocratic Islamic leaders, the MLM organizations that countries strictly guard against are simply the "five scum of war"!
…
Early the next morning, Liu Dong, who had rested all night, recovered all the fatigue from running around for more than a week!
Looking at the map he drew on the table, Liu Dong frowned.
The underground space in Kamdesh was beyond his expectation. The complex underground passages formed an underground transportation network that was much larger than the above-ground city! It was also an underground military base carefully prepared by the Taliban!
The materials and space stored therein can fully satisfy the training, operations and garrisoning of tens of thousands of people!
Moreover, Liu Dong also discovered machinery and equipment capable of producing firearms, ammunition and other light weapons, as well as a large amount of raw materials!
However, Liu Dong still doesn't know how big this underground base is, because the range of his relic Yuanguang is limited, and he has not been able to explore the entire base!
Likewise, he has not found any trace of Mulati yet!
This result made it impossible for Liu Dong to stay in this hotel safely!
After thinking for a while, Liu Dong put away the map on the table that was only one-third or even less than one-third completed, opened the door and walked out.
In the surrounding corridors, there were still twos and threes of mercenaries chatting without scruples. When they saw Liu Dong coming out of the room, they all looked towards him in unison.
Liu Dong didn't care about these scrutiny or even malicious looks!
After following the stairs to the first floor, I found Amiri who was busy at the door!
"I want to go out for a walk and buy some things. Can you find someone to take me there?" Liu Dong said directly.
"No problem, please wait a moment!" After finishing speaking, Amiri waved to a soldier next to him. After the other party came over, he ordered, "This Mr. Kamil is our distinguished guest. You will accompany him today."
He can go shopping on the street, as long as he doesn't violate the rules, he can go anywhere, do you understand?"
"yes!"
Looking at the soldiers saluting, Liu Dong smiled lightly. The last sentence was not so much an explanation to the soldier as it was specifically said to himself!
However, Liu Dong doesn't care about this. With the relic Yuanguang, he can still peek into the secrets here even if he doesn't go to those military restricted areas!
"Thanks!"
"Haha, you're welcome Mr. Camille, these are what we should do!"
After hearing this and nodding, Liu Dong didn't say much, turned around and left with the young Taliban soldier!
Watching the other person's back disappearing outside the door, Amiri opened the computer screen in front of him, looked at the dark screen, frowned secretly and said: "Although this Mr. Kamil is a person, he didn't expect that he would turn on the computer screen."
The reconnaissance ability is so powerful. And he is not like a businessman, but more like a soldier or... a spy!"
But when I thought about it, I thought it was impossible. If the other party was a spy, it would be impossible for him to expose his counter-reconnaissance capabilities so easily.
If the opponent is a soldier, then he does not have the decisive temperament of a soldier. Especially on the opponent's palm, there are no calluses left by holding a gun for a long time!
Therefore, for a while, it seemed as if a layer of fog that no one could see through enveloped Liu Dong's body, making Amiri feel a little unsure.
"No matter what, it's better to keep an eye on this person!"
…
Liu Dong didn't know the doubts he had left to Amiri. When he came to the street, he was going to find a stall to eat breakfast!
Although he has enough food stored in his mustard space for more than a year. But when he comes to this place, under the eyes of everyone, he must become normal, otherwise he will only attract more attention, which will not be conducive to his future.
action!
After a brief walk around, he originally wanted to take this opportunity to taste the authentic food of Afghanistan. But what disappointed him was that, except for simple beef and mutton, flatbread, and hand-picked rice, there was nothing to satisfy his eyes.
A bright special food.
Therefore, Liu Dong, who had no more choices, found a relatively clean restaurant and ordered four kilograms of beef, two large pancakes, and a large bowl of mutton soup. When the aroma was fragrant and the beef and mutton soup was generous, it was a big meal.
When the whole cake was served, Liu Dong couldn't help but whet his appetite because of the original aroma of beef and mutton without adding too many ingredients.
"Have you eaten? Do you want some?"
Hearing this, the young Taliban soldier who accompanied Liu Dong came out with a slightly immature face and looked to be only 18 or 19 years old. He quickly shook his head!
"Thank you, I've already eaten!"
"Okay! Then I can enjoy it by myself!" After saying that, Liu Dong picked up the bowl and took a big sip of the mutton soup. He grabbed the flatbread with his left hand and took a big bite. Then he threw away the chopped beef on the plate with his right hand.
Chew it in your mouth!
The original aroma of the completely naturally raised beef made his mouth secrete a lot of saliva instantly, making him eat faster and faster!
However, he was a little uncomfortable with using his hands to grasp without chopsticks, but otherwise everything went smoothly!
After a quick breakfast, and after taking a look at the young soldier who looked a little surprised by his amazing appetite, Liu Dong, who was just about to pay and leave, suddenly discovered a serious problem!
He had no Afghan currency on him!
Because he spent more than a week wandering around the mountains along the way, Liu Dong had no chance to enter any towns in Afghanistan, so in addition to US dollars, Chinese coins, and some euros, Hong Kong dollars, Australian dollars and other currencies in his pocket,
Not even a penny of 'Arnie'!
Ani is the abbreviation of Afghanistan's legal currency 'Afghani'. Unfortunately, due to the years of war in Afghanistan, the issuance of Ani is not completely controlled by the Central Bank of Afghanistan. In addition, the northern warlord Dostum issued afghani at the same time.
The two are not equal in value, resulting in the continued depreciation of the Afghani!
Therefore, in Afghanistan, the US dollar and gold as international currencies are the real hard currencies, especially when trading between tribes. In addition to barter, the US dollar and gold are more favored than the Afghans' own Ani!
Under the guidance of the young soldier, Liu Dong spent more than ten dollars to pay for breakfast and began to wander around the busiest street in Kamdesh.
Of course, it looked like he was just wandering around, but in fact Liu Dong used the relic Yuan Guang to firmly remember the underground military base that was as dense as a spider web in his mind.
Fortunately, he has an almost photographic memory and is able to memorize the complicated tunnels hundreds of meters underground just by looking at them.
The more Liu Dong looked, the more he discovered that these tunnels, which were more than 100 meters deep or even hundreds of meters deep, were not built for the construction of military bases. Instead, they were more like leftovers from mining, but the Taliban were in the mines.
On the basis of the passages, they were rebuilt to form the complex and massive underground military base that Liu Dong saw now!
The further he went, Liu Dong's relic Yuan Guang also discovered the coal fields that were deeper underground and had not been mined out!
Liu Dong, who could only detect a radius of one kilometer, had no way of judging how large the reserves of this underground coal mine were, but what he saw alone amounted to no less than a million tons! And there were more deep down!
"What a pity?" Liu Dong couldn't help but sigh!
Afghanistan is very rich in mineral resources. There are more than 1,400 mineral deposits discovered so far, including iron, ferrite, copper, lead, zinc, nickel, lithium, beryllium, gold, silver, platinum, palladium, talc, marble, and barite.
Stones, precious and semi-precious stones, salt, coal, uranium, oil and natural gas, etc.
Among the famous mineral deposits include Hajigak Iron Mine, Aynak Copper Mine, Bamiyan Coal Mine, Herat Lithium Mine, Amdalia Oil and Gas Field, Afghanistan-Tajik Basin Oil and Gas Field, etc.
Natural gas reserves are about 150 billion cubic meters, coal reserves are about 100 million tons. Salt reserves are 300 million tons, lapis lazuli reserves are 1,300 tons, iron ore reserves are 1.7 billion tons, and copper ore reserves are 500 million tons. However, due to transportation difficulties and lack of funds
, only natural gas, coal, salt, and chromium have been exploited in small quantities, and the remaining mineral resources worth US$3 trillion in Afghanistan are still buried deep underground.
Thinking of these, Liu Dong's steps suddenly stopped!
"Sir, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Liu Dong suddenly standing still, the young soldier behind him couldn't help but ask.
"Oh it's all right!"
After reacting, Liu Dong casually responded with a flash of deep thought and joy in his eyes, "Afghanistan's resources cannot be effectively developed because of the war, but isn't this my opportunity?"
Liu Dong, who possesses the Mustard Seed Space and the Relic Yuanguang, can dig out a large-scale mineral deposit in a matter of ten days or even a few days!
And because of the war, Afghanistan has paid much less attention to its mineral deposits. The influence Liu Dong will have after mining here will not attract too much attention.
If he can do what he guessed, the rich underground mineral deposits in Afghanistan will undoubtedly provide Liu Dong with a stable and long-term meal ticket that can provide a large amount of funds! (~^~)
