Chapter 507
Li Du looked around at the place occupied by the soldiers, and suddenly realized: It turned out that everyone didn't dare to approach because of the size of Godzilla and Dao, but because they knew that this was the territory of the soldiers!
Tucson is one of the garrisons of the United States. The Davis-Monthan Air Force Base is located here. This is related to the local manufacturing industry. We all know that Houston is the American Space City. In fact, Tucson has a similar name, that is, Flying City.
There are many aerospace manufacturing companies in the local area, which are closely related to high-tech industries such as missiles, aircraft parts, computers, electronic equipment, and optical instruments.
Hughes Aircraft Company has a missile system division here, which was founded in the early 1950s and by 1957, it had become the largest missile manufacturing plant in the world.
Various missiles are produced here, TOW anti-tank missiles, long-range air-to-air Phoenix missiles, air-to-surface Maverick missiles, Roland anti-aircraft missiles, and new air-to-air missiles for F-16 and F-18 fighter jets.
So, it's no surprise to see Air Force soldiers here.
Hearing the other party's stern question, Li Du was a little flustered. Would I be beaten by the soldiers?
He is confident in his fighting skills, and even more confident in the fighting power of Godzilla and Dao, but the scoring opponents, look at these well-trained soldiers, he is under a lot of pressure.
Hans behaved differently, he still looked like a fool, and asked: "What's the matter? We are staying in the hotel, and the hotel allows us to use this place. Don't tell me that the ownership of this land belongs to the Air Force."
The black officer nodded seriously, and said, "Okay, can we have a barbecue grill? We have a lot of people here today, so we don't have enough barbecue grills."
Li Du asked in surprise, "Is it just for this?"
The black officer nodded again, his expression still serious.
The barbecue grills of Li Du and others came from the hotel, and they can use them for free as long as they show their door numbers. If they got too many grills, they gave one to these soldiers.
The soldiers reciprocated and gave them two cans of beer.
Li Du patted his chest, the American soldiers were not as violent and vicious as the media publicized.
Hans squinted at him and said, "What are you afraid of?"
Li Du said: "I'm afraid of being beaten by soldiers."
"Shit, there are so many people, maybe there are media people in there, even if they have the support of the military region, they don't dare to do anything to us, the premise is that we don't cause trouble." Hans said disdainfully.
Li Du said: "You don't have a good attitude, right? You should have a better attitude towards soldiers."
"Why? Why should they be treated differently?"
Li Du said: "These people are defending the country and protecting you. Without them, would you be able to eat barbecue here with peace of mind?"
Hans said: "But I paid them protection fees, I paid taxes on time, and paid them salaries on time. What's the problem? I should, and they should too."
Li Du blinked and said, "Anyway, I don't think your attitude is very good."
Hans waved his hand disdainfully again: "Okay, you've been brainwashed by movies, are soldiers patriots? Not necessarily, they join the army for their salary and personal development, not to defend their home and country."
Da Ao nodded approvingly, and even Godzilla nodded, so Li Du didn't have much to say, the result of different cultures is very normal.
In any case, these soldiers are still very law-abiding, they eat barbecue and drink beer and chat in their own territory.
Li Du wanted to go up and listen, but he was worried that the other party was discussing some military secrets. If he was provoked and the other party pulled out a gun and he would yell, who would he turn to for reasoning?
Fortunately, he has a new subordinate, Lu Guan, so he beckons him over and asks him to tell him the result.
The result is that these guys turned out to be the former President Bush Jr. and the current President. A large group of soldiers scolded their mothers there. After hearing the rumors from the officials, he couldn't believe it. Didn't these people plan to plot a rebellion?
In fact, of course not. It is very common for Americans to scold the president, and it is also common for soldiers to scold the president. Even their immediate boss, the Secretary of Defense, can scold them, but they cannot scold the leaders of the military regions.
The next day, they drove to their destination, the Red Mountain Warehouse Company.
This warehouse company is located in the suburbs of Tucson, covering a large area. However, with the urban transformation, the surrounding residents have all moved away. Without customers, the warehouse company has no business.
Now some real estate developers have taken a fancy to this piece of land, and the warehouse company saw the profit, so they simply filed for bankruptcy, disposed of all the warehouses, and then sold the land to make money.
They stopped the car, and Li Du and Hans walked towards the warehouse company.
As a result, when they were about to enter the door, someone stopped them. Hans took out the cigarettes and other gifts he had prepared, but the other party refused to accept them.
This surprised Hans, wondering: "These guys consider themselves the guards of the air force base? When did they become so dedicated?"
Warehouse security guards are generally low-level blacks and other people of color. They make little money and are bold. As long as they have extra money they can take, they will almost never refuse.
Li Du said: "Don't buy anything in the future, let's buy some shopping coupons, maybe this thing is more practical."
Hans said, "It's better to use Franklin to open the way."
As he said that, he took out cash and gave it to the security guard: "Two hundred dollars, buddy, you just need to go over there and take a piss, and it's yours, big bright bills."
The security guard looked at him vigilantly and said, "What are you doing?"
Hans said: "Don't worry, we are treasure hunters in the warehouse, we are going to participate in tomorrow's auction, let's go in and get familiar with the environment."
"If you are worried, you can follow me." Li Du said.
Looking at the banknote in Hans' hand, the security guard licked his lips and said, "How about this, you can go in, this Chinese guy can't go in."
Li Du asked strangely, "Why?"
The security guard shrugged and said, "I can't answer, anyway, that's all I can do."
Hans reacted quickly, squinting his eyes and asked: "Obviously, someone has sent you a message that if there are Chinese treasure hunters who want to enter the warehouse, you are not allowed to let them go, right?"
The security guard looked at the money in his hand, Hans didn't care about the small money, he took out one and handed it to him.
After getting the money, the security guard immediately said, "Yes, I can't help it, buddy, that's an order from our captain, I can't fight against him, I don't want to lose this job yet."
Hans said to Li Du: "It's okay, now someone is targeting us. It should be local people who know that we will come to this auction, and find a relationship to arrange security guards against us."
Li Du smiled and said, "Is that so? It seems that this city is very unfriendly. We haven't met with the local counterparts yet, and they gave us a big blow."
Most of the treasure pickers are shrewd. They noticed Li Du who kept picking up treasures successfully in storage auctions, studied his actions, and found some problems.
