Before and after the Quekotos drilling robbery, more than 20 European employees were killed by pirates, and a total of more than 60 European employees were kidnapped, with tens of millions of dollars in ransom paid.
In addition to France's Lange Petroleum Group, which has been working hard to uncover the truth, Western society has been extremely shocked and concerned about the case. Several media have sent reporters directly to the local area of Quecotos (Quicotos) to conduct interviews.
Therefore, there is a lot of information that can be found on the Internet, and it is very detailed, but the Western media all use the translation name "Quikotos", so intelligence analysts missed this information when they first searched for Theron's residence.
Now you can find a report on the Internet that unequivocally points out that the pirates equipped with high-speed boats this time are an act of revenge by the Evans Foundation. However, the Linton Petroleum Group, which belongs to the Evans Foundation, also spends huge sums of money to follow
This media has been engaged in reputation infringement lawsuits for many years, and the protracted legal proceedings have brought this media to its knees.
The robbery lasted for more than a year and did not end until Langhua Petroleum evacuated all personnel from the offshore oil fields. During this period, Langhua Petroleum Group did not trust the corrupt and incompetent local military and police. However, in addition to hiring mercenaries,
The West African peacekeeping force stationed in Quekotos at the time was also invited to participate in the eradication of pirates, and many pirates were arrested and killed. However, no direct evidence was ever found to prove that the Evans Foundation manipulated all of this.
Therefore, internationally, except for blaming the robbery on the increasingly rampant pirate forces in the Gulf of Guinea, the real culprit has not yet been found.
Late at night, the intelligence analysis room was closed with blackout curtains, and the staff continued to dig out useful intelligence information under the leadership of Taiya.
On the second floor, in the master bedroom suite with only gauze curtains blocking prying eyes, the crystal lamp emits a bright and soft light.
All the existing materials were placed in front of Cao Mo, Zhou Han, Slita and Song Yuqing.
Langhua Group did not find direct evidence at the beginning and did not expect that Theron Baddeley, the peacekeeping officer who led the team stationed there, might be acquired by the Evans Foundation.
During the great robbery, Theron Baddeley's troops were stationed in Quekotos, and if Theron Baddeley's "driver" was actually a pirate leader secretly supported by the Evans Foundation, then the entire puzzle would be
The outline emerged from under the water.
And their intention against Tianyue was like a ferocious beast showing its bloody fangs from the depths of the jungle.
In the past two or three years, in order to maintain the shipping safety of Guinea shipping companies and ensure that major Tianyue companies can successfully explore the market along the Gulf of Guinea, Cornero Security Company and Tubman Security Consultants have been actively cooperating with the coastal companies.
The military and police crack down on pirate forces, and they are very familiar with the piracy forces that appear in the Gulf of Guinea.
The high-speed, well-trained, and well-equipped pirate forces were directly equipped seven or eight years ago. If there is no more powerful force behind it with ulterior motives, who would believe it?
The Evans Foundation is definitely not a "clean" organization.
The security around Cao Mo is tight, and he doesn't live in a fixed place. Generally speaking, no criminal gang will target him. After all, simple-minded criminal teams will also weigh risks and benefits.
Cao Mo had just bought this manor and lived in it for half a month when characters like Theron Baddeley and the "driver" came over to take advantage of the property. Who would believe that it was not instigated by the Evans Foundation?
This also shows that the Evans Foundation has realized that there is no way to effectively suppress the Tianyue system on the Guinea coast such as Kanem and Benin using conventional means; this shows that there are people within the Evans Foundation who have ideas about the industrial layout of the Tianyue system. Have a clear and sober understanding.
The Evans Foundation was unwilling to invest in industries along the Gulf of Guinea in the past because they were "hurt" by the local anti-colonial ideological movement, and subsequently established a development strategy focusing on "resource plundering", but this does not mean that they I really have a narrow-minded view and cannot see the greatness of Tianyue's series of industrial layouts.
"They want to do the same thing again?"
Although the information that was put together urgently was very pointed, the matter was so important that Zhou Han looked at Cao Mo and Song Yuqing, and Starli still couldn't believe it when he asked this question.
"According to the original plan, I will be returning to China in two days. If you return to China two days in advance now, there will be nothing unexpected!" Stali said decisively.
Theron Baddeley and "Driver" came to the manor today, indicating that this may be the core target of their attack.
Stari believed that Cao Mo should accompany Song Yuqing to return to the country now and not delay here any longer.
"..." Cao Mo shook his head and sat on the sofa with a frown.
Tubman Security Consulting Company is also employed by other companies and enters troubled areas in Akwa, Kanem and other countries to participate in joint security defense work. The personnel are trained and strengthened, and the equipment can be said to be sophisticated even among mercenaries. But the dangerous situation they are currently facing is completely different from conventional security work.
Ordinary companies are targeted by bandits. If the company strengthens its security, it is possible for the bandits to escape.
If the forces behind Theron Baddeley and "Driver" are really the Evans Foundation, their increased vigilance shows that they have been alert for a long time and cannot ask the Evans Foundation to give up lightly.
Not only will the Evans Foundation not give up easily, it may even become even more crazy. It will regard Tianyue Department and Cao Mo as a thorn in its side and quickly pull them out.
With its current strength, Tubman Security Consulting Company has no problem if it wants to focus on protecting one or two places. But as the Tianyue Group grows, there are too many valuable purposes along the Gulf of Guinea, and it is not enough to hire three or four hundred people. Military elites can take good care of you.
Therefore, Cao Mo hid back in the country at this time. He would be safe for the time being, but it would not really solve the problem.
As long as this group of well-equipped pirates successfully attacks a project that they have built or is under construction, they will suffer heavy losses. If they attack a few more times, they will most likely face the fate of Langhua Petroleum Group, which had to temporarily withdraw. !
For him to hide back in the country is definitely not the solution to the problem.
Now they actually have an advantage. The Evans Foundation doesn't know that their conspiracy has been exposed at this time. They can take more active measures, but just hiding back in the country would be too passive.
"You must go back to the country!" Stari insisted on her opinion. She could not forget the time when Cao Mo was shot for her. Especially since the other party had regarded the manor as its core, how could she sit back and watch Cao Mo stay and take risks.
"Collaborating with pirates, or secretly cultivating pirate forces loyal to oneself and using them for shady purposes, is extremely taboo in any country - especially the Kratotos robbery, in which so many European and American employees died.
The Vince Foundation will never dare to let direct evidence against them leak out," Cao Mo said, grabbing Stali's hand, "So, no matter how elite Theron Baddeley and the pirates behind the driver are,
There are many people and powerful forces, but there must be only a few people who truly hold the core secrets or are directly employed by the Evans Foundation..."
Although the military employees of Tubman Security Consultants are not desperadoes, they receive strict training and receive formal military skills training. There is nothing to hide; the tasks they perform are also legal in the country where they are located.
This is also the combat effectiveness guarantee of the armed forces of Tubman Security Consultants.
The pirate forces secretly controlled by the Evans Foundation are more elite than ordinary pirates. However, precisely because of the shady reasons, the Evans Foundation can provide funds and intelligence to these pirates through several key people.
, but there is no way to make these desperadoes receive strict training. Even when performing tasks, they can only induce them with benefits.
If it were possible to inflict heavy damage on this group of pirates in their first attack without receiving corresponding benefits, it would be difficult for the Evans Foundation to control this group of pirates and make them obey their orders.
many.
In addition, Theron Baddeley participated in a vicious conspiracy against the Tianyue family, and the Baddeley family is the key force that the Tianyue family has attracted in Benin. How to deal with the relationship with the Baddeley family in the future is also a challenge.
People have headache problems.
No one else can decide these things for Cao Mo.
Cao Mo could understand Stari's concern for his personal safety and said, "If I go back to the country now, even if the other party won't notice anything, they may choose to lie dormant and stop taking any action because they have lost their most important goal - I
Can we still hide in the country? Instead of reacting passively, it is better to be more proactive by luring the snake out of its hole and inflicting severe damage..."
"How do you lure a snake out of its hole?" Starlie asked.
"Create more valuable targets for them and lure them into taking action!" Cao Mo said.
"If Guo Donghu, Zhang Chaoyang, and Huang Hebin all live in the manor for legitimate reasons, it is indeed possible to lure them into action - the manor is close to Lake Noqua, and Lake Noqua has many waterways connected to the outside sea. This
It is extremely convenient for them to land and attack, and it is also convenient for them to retreat quickly when they succeed or fail. If possible, they would definitely prefer to choose the manor to launch the attack. The reason why Guo Donghu and Zhang Chaoyang moved to the manor is also very simple, such as
It is said that there was an accidental fire or a burst water pipe in the Keres Hotel one day, causing all the hotel rooms to be flooded, and the water covered the mountains. The ordinary dispatchers went to the construction site to make peace, and the top managers temporarily stayed in the manor for a few days. It is also very reasonable...
..." Zhou Han said.
"You don't want to commit fraud anymore, you are really disrespecting your talent." Cao Mo complimented Zhou Han.
Zhou Han rolled his eyes at Cao Mo and said, "I'm just using you as bait. Once a gunfight breaks out in the manor, it will be too dangerous! If you look at these reports, the pirates used rocket launchers when they attacked the Quekotos drilling platform. That was still 1989.
The equipment level of pirates years ago can only be stronger now - this main building cannot withstand a rocket launcher attack!"
"If the main building is attacked and collapses, can the underground storage room withstand it?" Cao Mo asked.
Zhou Han has a background in fraud and has not experienced that shooting incident. She has a stronger risk tolerance and said: "We need to find a structural engineer to study this!"
"Being a thief for a thousand days is not the same as guarding against a thief for a thousand days," Cao Mo said. "If you can lure a snake out of its hole and inflict severe damage, you must take this risk! Only by severely damaging the opponent's arrogance can you think of other options..."
"
…………
…………
In the next few days, except for increased security on the outside, everything in the manor seemed to be the same as before.
If there were any changes, it was just that Cao Mo put forward the plan for the renovation and expansion of the manor in advance, and also hired two elite construction designers from the Cornero Construction Group to complete the renovation and expansion plan and carry out more specific designs.
During this period, Cao Mo also invited Theron Baddeley to the manor as a guest again, and even discussed his vision for the manor in person.
Cao Mo also complained to Theron Baddeley that the engineers of the construction group believed that the structure of the main building was fragile and strongly suggested that the entire building's structure needed to be reinforced before large-scale renovations - this was really an extremely troublesome matter.
The special project that will significantly strengthen the underground storage room and the load-bearing structure on the first floor of the main building in the next few days seems to be just an ordinary structural strengthening project. This is the first thing to be done when almost all old buildings are renovated.
For this reason, Cao Mo could only temporarily stay in the presidential suite of the Corian Hotel, but he did not stay at the Corus Hotel for a few days. The hotel's fire main pipe exploded due to "disrepair".
The Crane Hotel, which is only eight stories high, is flooded with water from the seventh floor down.
Ordinary dispatched employees were forced to live on the construction site and crowded into simple container dormitories with the construction workers of Cornero Construction Group - Cao Mo was "in a panic" with Xie Sipeng, Liang Siqian, Zhang Chaoyang, Guo Donghu, Huang Hebin, Li Qilu, etc.
Top management, return to Lake Norquay Manor.
At this time, the main building of the manor had just completed "structural strengthening" and was preparing for subsequent renovation projects; a construction team from Cornero Construction Group also moved in on the east side of the manor, preparing to build a larger six-story building there.
Building so that it can be used as dormitories for overseas employees or as the main building of the Manor Hotel in the future - and in order to keep an eye on this worker who may be sneaking around, it is also a last resort to call in more security personnel to keep an eye on him. They are just security personnel.
It just looks very "loose".
"This place is really full of chaos. If I hadn't made an appointment with Vice President Papatobo in two days, I should have gone back to Draculamore today - I have been really unlucky recently. I expect there must be something bigger.
Bad things happen, it’s so fucking annoying!” Cao Mo complained to Theron Baddeley who came over the next day to “consol” and “stressed” that he would leave Benin in two days, and you grandsons had better do this.
If you finish the work in two days and don’t take action, it will become more difficult for you grandsons to take action in the future, and there won’t be too many high-value items gathered together.
After the meal, in order to calm down the chaos of the past two days, Cao Mo organized a Texas Hold'em poker game in the large living room on the second floor.
Theron Baddeley played until ten o'clock and then left. After Theron Baddeley left, Cao Mo signaled the staff to close the blackout curtains around him.
"It's very much like a casino. How much money are you planning to defraud from us?" Xie Sipeng said jokingly.
"In order to make you feel better, I plan to lose more money to you today," Cao Mo motioned to the staff to bring over the chips and said, "Before the show starts, I have prepared two million US dollars in chips for everyone. Who can
If you can hold on until the big show starts, the remaining chips in your hand can be used as bonuses after the Spring Festival - but if anyone can't hold on until the big show starts and wants to leave early, I will not recognize these chips. This game is not exciting,
Isn’t it exciting?”
"What big show?"
Everyone was surprised. Huang Hebin was the most sensitive to conspiracies and asked first.
"On the outside of Lake Norquay, a pirate force has completed its assembly, and I have reason to believe that the destination of their planned attack is here, either tonight or tomorrow night. After all, I will leave Benin the day after tomorrow -
I have reason to believe that you and I are their most valuable targets!" Cao Mo said.
Little Tubman, Xie Sipeng, and Huang Hebin were doing better, but Zhang Chaoyang, Guo Donghu, Li Qilu, and Liang Siqian were still quite frightened. They thought that the security in Benin was better than that in Kanem, but they didn't expect that it would happen.
Bear this.
"Since we have accurate information, why not notify the Benin military police to crack down on this pirate?" Huang Hebin asked.
"This group of pirates is equipped with high-speed boats, which are faster than Benin's naval ships. And it cannot be ruled out that they have information sources within the Benin military..." Cao Mo did not say too specific. After all, Theron Baddeley
As for the Baddeley family, he hasn't decided yet how to deal with it.
"Did our people arrange for the fire pipe burst in the hotel yesterday?" Xie Sipeng asked in surprise.
"Yes, it's all my arrangement," Cao Mo said, "Only in this way can we lure the snake out of its hole, and we can control the location and time of the battle, instead of being anxious and thinking all day after knowing that we are being targeted by an elite group of pirates.
Go and prevent thieves for a thousand days! Before the attack, if anyone was worried that Liuli would be too risky, I can arrange a car to take you away now!"
"I'm a little scared. After all, not many people have experienced this kind of situation, but you said that in the end, the remaining chips in everyone's hands can be exchanged for huge amounts of money. Is it true?" Xie Sipeng asked with a smile.
In addition to the fact that Cao Mo's calmness and calmness have infected everyone, and more importantly, everyone is not stupid. Leaving the manor at this time means that they will never be able to meet the core of Tianyue - if they can't bear any risk, why did they come to Africa?
"How can I rely on your little money?" Cao Mo said, "In order for everyone to play cards with peace of mind, a card table has been arranged in the underground storage room. Let's go downstairs now - but, in the past two days, in this building
Everything that happens in the building must be kept strictly confidential and should not be bragged."
"Is there another mastermind behind this group of pirates?" Huang Hebin asked.
