Chapter 709 The first stop
After Yang Jing and Princess walked out of the VIP passage at Manila International Airport accompanied by Chris, Clark and two female bodyguards, they could immediately feel dozens of malicious gazes.
These unscrupulous eyes made the princess a little scared, which made Yang Jing regret not bringing the princess to such a dangerous place.
However, after John Bruno, Carl Morris and other groups of fully armed bodyguards in black appeared beside Yang Jing and Princess, the unscrupulous eyes disappeared. The arrogant Filipino men just now were all so embarrassed that they dared not look here again.
Although the Philippines has been separated from the US colonization for more than 70 years, and since the end of the Cold War in the early 1990s, the United States withdrew its troops from the Philippines, and the Subic Bay Naval Base and the Clark Air Force, the largest military base in Southeast Asia, were both returned to the Philippines. Since the mid-to-late 1990s, the United States has lost its right to station troops in the Philippines, but the United States has still had a huge influence on the Philippines.
Although the United States has no right to station troops in the Philippines, in 1998, the two countries signed the Philippines-US Visiting Force Agreement. According to this agreement, the Philippines allowed the United States to deploy hundreds of US soldiers in the Philippines and provide "limited" docking supplies to US warships and other assistance. After the "9/11" incident, the United States increased its military investment in the Philippines. Currently, about 600 US special forces soldiers are stationed in the Philippines to provide consultations to local troops and assist them in fighting anti-government forces.
In other words, the United States actually has troops stationed in the Philippines, and it is also a special forces of elite special forces.
So now in the Philippines, almost no one dares to provoke Americans. There is no Filipino who is blind and willing to provoke Americans.
Whether it is Carl Morris or Clark, they are all elite bodyguards. Chris and others were retired special forces from the Delta or Rangers before. Carl Morris and others have been active in the Iron Blood Mercenary Group in the Middle East. Yang Jing took out any of these twelve bodyguards, all of whom were carrying human lives!
Even the two female bodyguards Yang Jing found for the princess were all very skilled, and two or three big men were simply unable to get close to them.
The fourteen elite bodyguards in this vocation alone are enough to shock those Filipinos who have bad intentions.
Both Bruno and Morris have a lot of relationships in the Philippines, so although they have only arrived in the Philippines for only two days, they have prepared a convoy of bulletproof military Hummers. Of course, their weapons and equipment are also the top weapons that the Philippines can find at present.
This convoy of four military Hummers alone is enough to attract the attention of most Filipinos.
Manila International Airport is located in the city of Sepa, about seven kilometers south of Manila. This airport is the largest airport in the entire Philippines. It is also an airport with frequent scandals.
Manila is a large city. Years of development have made the city a metropolitan area with a population of more than 10 million, and is known as "New York in Asia".
If we look at the appearance of the city, this city is really worthy of this nickname, especially in the Wangcheng District, Emmeta District, and Marathi District in the central area of the city, which are full of tall buildings, luxury hotels, salons, and bars everywhere. And for the reason of the Pasi River, looking south from the north bank of the Pasi River, it really has the charm of the two sides of the Huangpu River in Shanghai.
But Yang Jing and Princess knew that this was just an illusion of light on the surface of donkey dung eggs. This city that looked rich and bizarre was actually piled up with the power of the whole country. In other parts of the Philippines, the poor living conditions of those poor people living below the poverty line are simply unimaginable.
"Haha, this is the real thing about the wine and meat-smelling road. There are frozen bones on the road!" When driving from the airport to the city, the princess withdrew her gaze and complained with a sneer.
"I said, wife, if you don't like this place, it won't work. I'll have someone take you back home first. When I finish my work, I'll take you to New Zealand for vacation?"
"I won't go back! I'm going to follow you to hunt for treasure... Uh, what if the places recorded in those two notebooks are the burial places of the treasure?" Princess said with a smile.
"Okay, but I'll tell you that the places we are going to are all deep mountains and forests, and the conditions are very hard. Can you bear it?"
"Oh, I said Yang Jing, why are you becoming more and more like my mother now? You have said this less than ten times. If I am afraid of suffering, will I still follow you to such a place?"
"Okay, you won!" Yang Jing raised his hands and made a surrender statement.
The convoy drove into downtown Manila like lightning while Yang Jing and Princess talked and laughed, and entered the Manila Bay New World Hotel in San Miguel District, the south bank of the Pasi River.
This hotel is also a five-star hotel. It may not be as famous as the Four Seasons Hotel, but the choice to stay here is mainly for safety reasons.
The entire San Miguel District is the most important embassy district in Manila, and it is also the area with the best security conditions in the entire Manila city. Just like the hotel where Yang Jing and his friends stayed, the U.S. Embassy in the Philippines is less than 600 meters north of the country, and there are embassies from other countries around.
Originally, Yang Jing wanted to find a hotel to stay in Minluolun District on the north bank of the Pasi River. After all, Minluolun District is a pure Chinese area, with more than 90% of the residents there, so it should be quite comfortable to live there. However, after coming to Manila, Bruno suggested staying in the Embassy District, with a very strong reason - safety first.
After checking in, after a little rest, the group came to the hotel restaurant for a hearty lunch. After lunch, Yang Jing called John Bruno, George Bruce, Kevin Martin and Carl Morris to his suite.
"Carl, how are you prepared all the things I asked you to prepare?"
"Boss, everything is ready. In addition, I have contacted a one hundred and twenty feet luxury yacht as you told me, which is enough for us to take a luxury tour."
Carl Morris's answer made Yang Jing very satisfied. Because the eight places marked on the notebook were distributed on five different islands, it was obviously not suitable to drive directly. Although helicopters were the fastest, Yang Jing planned to rent helicopters from the local area after arriving at the island where he was targeting, so he finally chose to take a boat to explore these places.
Yang Jing nodded with satisfaction, "Well, it's time to prepare. We will set out tomorrow morning and bring our things. We will go to Minduluo Island for the first stop!"
