Chapter 95: One person drove the GDP of an entire country!
At this moment, Zhuang Yan, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up:
"Liu Lao, I feel that this matter might not be that simple... What we can think of, he should have already thought of as well. Since everyone knows what the other side is thinking, as the party being pursued, he certainly wouldn't continue to take risks while knowing he is at a disadvantage. Even if he insisted on doing so, he would surely have already thought of a retreat, just like the Heavenly Birth last time..."
What Zhuang Yan said, Liu Xuemin naturally knew as well.
Last time, when Chu Chen was carrying out the Heavenly Birth, it was precisely because they did not anticipate that Chu Chen would perform such an astonishing act on the world's highest peak that he was able to escape to Nepal.
The next second, he said:
"The issue you mentioned is one we have also considered, and it is precisely for this reason that we must learn from the lessons of the past and take every possibility and impossibility into account!"
Every possibility and impossibility!
Liu Xuemin said this sentence with exceptional force!
It was evident that he and the Expert Group had made a great determination this time!
Following that, he continued:
"Just now, the Program Team has received a response from the Congo Military; they are very willing to cooperate with our operation this time."
Chen Xiong: "The Congo Military?"
Liu Xuemin nodded: "That's right. To keep him in Africa, relying solely on the six thousand pursuit team members under your command is not enough; we must cooperate with the military."
"Have you discussed any specific plans?" Zhou Yun asked.
"As for the specific plans, I will have Lin Xu send them to you in a moment. At that time, you can take a look, and if there are any issues, we can negotiate further."
Hearing this, the six captains nodded.
"After arriving in Kinshasa, you must immediately coordinate with the military personnel in charge, and we will contact you again afterwards."
"Understood, no problem!"
Huaxia still holds significant influence in various African countries.
Whether it is a large country or a small one, they will all show some respect.
In order to cooperate with the Pursuit Team's operation this time, the Congo Military also went all out.
They brought out all ten of their only warships and ten submarines, surrounding the mouth of the Kinshasa river so tightly that not even water could pass through!
The mouth of the Kinshasa river is the end of the Congo River.
It is located on the Atlantic Ocean.
This city and the neighboring city of Brazzaville are situated on opposite banks of the Congo River, forming a very rare layout of "two capitals on one river"!
The two cities face each other from across the river.
Due to the impact of the Congo River, the Atlantic seabed at the river's mouth was forcibly carved out into a Great Rift Valley several kilometers wide, 150 kilometers long, and thousands of meters deep!
The terrain inside the Great Rift Valley is extremely complex, with various undercurrents and whirlpools visible everywhere, and the narrowest parts are less than a meter wide.
Even underwater detectors cannot penetrate any deeper!
In order to capture Chu Chen, in addition to the steel wire nets set up earlier, the pursuit personnel also deployed a giant landing net on the seabed of the Great Rift Valley, with a diameter as large as an entire football field!
The entire landing net is controlled by more than 20 giant excavators.
When the time comes, as long as the target is discovered, the relevant staff will operate it to tighten it immediately!
Besides these basic prevention and control measures, at the request of the Pursuit Team, the relevant departments of the Congo authorities installed countless intelligent high-definition cameras on both banks of the river mouth!
These cameras all possess far-infrared facial recognition functions; as soon as Chu Chen enters their monitoring range, he will be locked onto immediately, and an alarm will be triggered!
This time, because the commotion was somewhat large.
Plus the fact that it is a collaboration with the Congo authorities.
In the last two days, one could often see some local Congolese spectators and spectators from surrounding countries coming to the river mouth to take photos and check in at the capture site!
Some even went so far as to fly in!
The purpose was to witness this head-on confrontation between Chu Chen and the Pursuit Team with their own eyes!
Because of this, the prices of hotels in the vicinity have multiplied several times over; some rooms that usually cost only 100,000 Congolese francs have directly increased by more than twenty times in these few days!
Looking at it, on the streets, there are countless foreign tourists of all skin colors!
Hotels are packed, restaurants are packed!
Tourist attractions are packed!
There are people everywhere!
And these people, almost without exception, all came to Kinshasa to watch this grand chase drama on the scene!
The economic level of the Congo was not very high to begin with.
But after this incident, the GDP of Kinshasa alone has increased by more than 100 times...
And this directly caused the entire country's GDP to rise by 0.5 percentage points... making the neighboring poor brother countries envious to the point of tears!
To thank Chu Chen for these "contributions," the President of the Congo specifically posted a tweet on his official Twitter account and decided to restart the Star of Africa Knight Medal honor:
"Thank you to this friend who has come from afar from Huaxia. Because of his arrival, our entire country is illuminated and feels deeply honored! Today, on behalf of all the Congolese people, I confer the Star of Africa Knight Medal upon him to record everything he has brought to this country!"
The Star of Africa Knight Medal is the most valuable honorary medal in all of Africa.
Previously, this medal had stopped being issued long ago after the Congo gained independence.
But today, in order to commend Chu Chen, they directly chose to restart this medal to thank him for his arrival!
……

……
At the same time!
On the other side!
After two days of sailing, Chu Chen also successfully exited the middle section of the Congo River and is heading towards the Livingstone Waterfall and the most dangerous Inga River section!
Livingstone Waterfall!
The waterfall with the greatest drop in the entire Congo River basin!
The massive drop is a full 200-plus meters!
From ancient times until now, no one has ever been able to survive rushing down this waterfall!
And right behind Livingstone Waterfall follows the Inga River section, the most perilous stretch in the entire Congo River basin!
Although the Inga River section of the Congo River is less than three hundred kilometers long, it has a torrent of 71,000 cubic meters per second, absolutely qualifying it as the deepest, fastest, and most powerful river section in this world!
Its real-time flow rate is thirty-five times that of the Nile River!
The flow speed exceeds one hundred kilometers per hour!
With a riverbed drop reaching hundreds of meters, all fish would refuse to go there even if paid, and the impact of the water is so great that fish cannot even gather in schools!
Let alone humans!
On Earth in the previous life, many extreme athletes who challenged the Congo River met their doom in such places!
In 2010, an Extreme Abyss Drifting team sponsored by Red Bull perished entirely while attempting to pass through the Inga River section to enter the Atlantic Ocean, with no survivors!
Through this incident, one can see that this river section is definitely not something that can be conquered easily!
