Second...

Although there are Russians and Americans in Gambia now and the situation is rather chaotic, it is still within the controllable range. Anyway, all their troops in the country combined are said to have a guard team of 800 people. As for guns... no one knows whether they can gather 500 or 600 of them.

Judging from the manpower Allen brought this time, there is not only the dense firepower of the pseudo-warship-class super yacht under his feet, but also a crew plane converted from a naval anti-submarine helicopter. As long as a machine gun is mounted on it, it can be a pseudo-armed helicopter.

The entire territory of Gambia is distributed along both sides of the Gambia River, with ships, helicopters, and more than 20 fully armed bodyguards...

Alan is not exaggerating, this force can really "sweep" the whole of Gambia!

No one within dozens of kilometers along both sides of the Gambia River could escape his attack range.

Besides, Gambia was once a British colony and is now a member of the Commonwealth, so Alan can generally still take care of it here.

As long as he doesn't provoke others, no idiot would dare to provoke him.

…

The yacht is currently located at the junction of the Western Region and the Lower River Region of Gambia.

The entire territory of Gambia is distributed along the river, with only two large urban administrative districts and five large regions, just like this...

The lower and middle reaches of the Gambia River can still accommodate the passage of the Earl of Carmarthen, but the upper reaches of the river are not suitable. Going further, only small river ships with a displacement of several hundred tons can pass. A "big ship" like Allen cannot enter.

In order to leave more safety distance, the scope of his movement was probably arranged to be near a sparsely populated mudflat along the small river area.

The geographical location here is not very good. After the rainy season, the water level will flood the land on the shore. After the rainy season, the river will recede again. Although the land along the coast is fertile, it is too difficult to correct it for farming, and it is not safe, so... there are basically no villages settled in this area, and the natural environment is still good.

In the past, the north bank across the river was a private hunting ground for French nobles. Later, after it was ceded to Britain, the areas on both sides of the river combined became a nominal national protected area.

…

The reason why it is nominally a national protected area is that, in essence, it is the same hunting ground as the one established by the French hundreds of years ago.

It is definitely illegal for ordinary local people to hunt, kill animals, etc. in the protected area.

But if high-ranking officials or nobles like Allen come here to play or hunt, then that's fine!

It is a disguised private hunting ground. You can hunt any animal you see, with no other requirements except that you cannot eradicate the species or kill them indiscriminately.

…

Twisting his neck, Alan handed Ajani a bottle of essence and asked her to rub it on his body. He picked up the newspapers that had been piled up during this period, preparing to make up for the few days of "international news" that were missing due to the vacation.

Picking up the top newspaper, the headline was very shocking. Alan looked at the photo of the familiar person on the front page headline - Prince Andrew!

In the photo, Prince Andrew has a plump face and is staring in the direction of the camera with an indignant expression.

There is also a subtitle below: "The Queen quickly approved Prince Andrew's divorce request, and the royal family could not bear the shame brought by the Duchess."

The news, which had been fermenting for more than two weeks, ended with the Queen's swift and decisive action.

This is the second divorce news in the royal family so far this year. The last one was Princess Anne a few months ago.

Now... the second prince is also getting a divorce, and he is ending his six-year marriage in a way that has attracted the attention of the whole world.

Now, of the queen's four children, except for the third prince who has not yet married, two of the first three are divorced. Even the only one who has not divorced is holding his breath and trying hard to get the queen to agree to his request.

Faced with this royal, emotional, and entangled drama that takes place every few months, the outside world is extremely excited. This happens every few months, and I wonder if the Queen can't stand it anymore and whether she has gotten sick from being angry.

Alan was holding the newspaper and looking at the picture of Prince Andrew happily. He sneered and thought to himself: You little bastard, you will have a hard time in the future.

Now with the lessons learned from their previous experiences, it all depends on how Boss Cha handles the situation. Anyway, the Queen has already agreed to his and Diana's separation, and now... it's just the last step.

But Allen doesn't need to worry about this step. He just needs to hide in Gambia and wait quietly.

Although such a "family farce" seems to be just the divorce of a few people, as they divorce one by one, many people behind them and some previous plans and trends will have to change with these drastic changes.

…

I flipped through the newspaper below and found an article in the corner reporting a social news that had been popular for some time, the anti-corruption case in Cardiff, Wales.

This is a less noticeable but interesting report.

According to reports, a national primary school in Cardiff discovered a large amount of misappropriation or embezzlement of donations when auditors sent by charitable donors checked the accounts.

And this is not the point. After discovering such behavior, the Cardiff police and Carmarthen police took joint action and arrested several people involved. From the interrogation of these people, they implicated a case related to rioters in Northern Ireland. This case was only mentioned in the newspaper, and the specific details were not disclosed.

It was only introduced at the end that the rioters had been caught by the Carmarthenshire police, but the specific details were not convenient to be announced to the public for the time being.

…

Since it is related to the rioters, these things... Although some people are curious, they don't want to ask too much. What if it involves some Northern Irish rioters lurking abroad, if they ask too many questions, wouldn't it bring suspicion upon themselves?

Anyway, this incident involved a wide range of people, and even the London newspapers reported it, but the subsequent details were left unresolved. Anyway, the senior police inspector and deputy chief named Rex from Wales was commended by the London Metropolitan Police...

…

Flipping forward, just when Alan was beginning to lose his patience, he saw a familiar face on the bottom newspaper - Chris Patten!

Ever since Alan came back from Hong Kong, he hasn't had time to pay attention to what happened there. It has been almost half a month, and this is the first time he has paid attention to the news there during this period of time.

In the picture in the newspaper, Chris Patten looked pale and had some gray hair. There was not only Chris Patten in the picture, but also an old man with equally gray hair next to him - Wei Dewei.

According to reports, on the eve of the legislative meeting some time ago, the new governor suffered a sudden heart attack. His secretary called an ambulance and took him directly to the hospital from the meeting venue.

It was not known whether Patten was really devastated or just too ashamed to go out, but he stayed in the hospital for a full week before being discharged, and then he gritted his teeth and convened the long-delayed legislative session.

Then...the new legislation during the meeting was strongly protested by several more patriotic locals.

Several new laws issued by Patten met with considerable resistance and discussion.

…

And the old shady Wei Dewei also secretly accepted the interview, and said something in a sarcastic tone without mentioning any names: they are all officials representing the empire, they must abide by the spirit of the contract, they cannot change their orders every day, they cannot be capricious and so on.

Anyway... because of this interview, the two of them have officially come into conflict. Although they haven't really gotten into a fight yet, both of them have supporters around them, and they're bickering every day. The entire Hong Kong media... has been very lively these days.

The originally serious atmosphere suddenly turned into a chaotic and unruly environment where everyone was discussing the issue.

Under the current circumstances, Patten is in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat. He is once again being put on the spot by Wei Dewei.

…

"Master! The man is here. He wants to give the things to you personally. What do you think...?"

A shadow suddenly blocked Alan's sight. When he raised his head slightly, he saw Xiao Shitou's silly face.

This time, Alan brought Little Stone and the other people, the crew... Because there was no need for combat, the number of people required was greatly reduced. Only 30 people were needed to operate the yacht. These crew members were retired veterans of the navy and had certain combat capabilities. In an emergency, they could just pick up their weapons and use them.

The crew is relatively small, with less than thirty people in total. They will be divided into four groups and shoot separately with four groups of "contestants".

There were more than twenty bodyguards, a dozen logistics staff and several servants left.

The number of people on the entire ship is just over a hundred, and because many of the rooms inside the hull have been remodeled, the crew carrying capacity is definitely not as good as when it was a warship that could accommodate two or three hundred people.

But now, this is the load limit of the entire yacht, and it is enough to ensure everyone's living needs and food and accommodation.

…

This time we will be shooting in the wild. With Alan's personality, every time he goes to the wild, just like when he was in Australia before, he has to do a good job of preliminary preparations first. After the location is selected, he should understand the local conditions, environment, weather, geography, etc. He even needs to understand the origins of these places clearly.

In this regard, I have a great advantage!

No matter where you are on this planet, if you can name a place, you can find relevant information about it in the British Columbia University.

The famous British expedition team has traveled all over the world over the past few hundred years. There is no place they have not visited, let alone a traditional British colony like Gambia. The relevant information here is very complete.

…

While Alan was traveling from France to Gambia these days, he was looking through information about Gambia and discovered a very inconspicuous piece of news.

According to the records, about 60 years ago, there was a doctor who was sent to the colony to teach epidemic prevention knowledge. He once reported news about the Gambia River Monster, but what year was it?

The situation was tense at that time, and London had no time to care about such "rumors" that looked fake at first glance.

Things like water monsters are actually very common in the outside world, let alone in poor places like Gambia. People are accustomed to exaggerating and demonizing unknown creatures that they have never seen before. As the news spreads, it becomes more and more outrageous and then evolves into a water monster.

Of course... although water monsters are somewhat dangerous, local governments will never ban such rumors. On the contrary... the more rumors about water monsters there are, the more they will boost local tourism development.

Isn’t this the case with the famous Loch Ness Monster in Scotland?

Although Alan didn't believe this, he didn't deny it. He just treated it as a joke and had a good laugh.

but……

The information prepared this time is so complete!

It was so complete that there was even a separate document about the rumored Gambia River Monster, and Alan somehow flipped through it.

Then... he looked at the schematic diagram drawn based on the image of the water monster as retold by the locals.

This thing looks very familiar to Alan!

…

This water monster, called Ningkinanka by the Gambians, is described as having a horse face, eagle eyes, horns on its head, and a very long neck like a giraffe, with a mane behind its neck.

Its body is like a snake, very slender, and a bit like a crocodile, with claws, covered with scales, and more than ten meters long.

Based on this description of the appearance, if any Chinese person heard it, his first impression would be... what would he think this thing is?

Of course it’s a dragon!

Even if it's not a dragon, it's at least a Jiao!

Horse face, eagle eyes, horns on the head, long neck, snake-like, claws, and body covered with scales, aren't these features obvious enough?

In those days, in Gambia... there shouldn't be many Chinese people coming here, right?

Moreover, this was not the description of one person, but the combined information obtained by the doctor after visiting eyewitnesses in multiple villages.

In this kind of shabby place, some people have never left the village in their entire lives, but their words are still somewhat credible.

And...it is said that this water monster called Ningkinanka is regarded as ominous by the locals. Any witness who encounters it in the wild will be cursed and will die of disease shortly thereafter. It is also said that when Ningkinanka sees a person, its eyes will turn the person into stone.

…

This piece of news from more than 60 years ago alone would not be enough to interest Allen, but the document also contained a 1987 investigation report, which said that an explorer had been interested in this news and wanted to come here to conduct an investigation.

But later due to financial constraints, the expedition team could not be formed. However, the explorer did not give up. He came to the surrounding villages along the river to understand the situation and obtained first-hand information.

Based on the descriptions of some unknown eyewitnesses, the explorer slowly concluded and discovered that... this water monster called Ningkinanka that the locals encountered seemed to have fucking radioactivity!

This is not some ominous sign or curse. From their description, it seems that the deceased died after being severely exposed to radiation.

With this understanding, the explorer became even more excited and prepared to return to his country to attract investment and do something big.

Later…after he returned to Britain, he suddenly fell ill, and the follow-up of this expedition plan was put on hold. The information here was also sorted out by the crew members in the file, just in case.

After reading this information...Alan was moved!

Regardless of whether this is true or not, he wants to know more about it. This thing... is too big!
