Chapter 764 Arrival

It can be said that Barron had a very leisurely journey. Starting from July 20, a month later, he was finally about to arrive at Port Loti, the largest port in Kolo.

Of course, during the time when Barron was playing, the two frigates belonging to Kolo were not idle. They used this period of escort time, with the help of some retired British naval officers hired by the Kolo Corps, to let the Kolo Corps naval members in Kolo familiarize themselves with the operation of the two frigates as soon as possible.

"That's our destination, Port Loti!"

Following the direction pointed by Barron, the children looked at the busy port in the distance with curiosity.

The current Port Loti has completed its expansion and has become the busiest port in West Africa, with an annual throughput of nearly 6 million tons.

Although the distance is still relatively far, it can be seen that cargo ships are constantly entering the dock. The various goods loaded on these cargo ships will be unloaded in Loti and transported to various countries in West Africa through Loti's increasingly improved transportation methods.

This is also the first time that Barron has brought his family to Kolo, an emerging West African freight and financial center covered by his influence.

Of course, here, Barron can also get a more high-profile and ostentatious treatment than when he was in England and America.

When the two super yachts, Devonshire Poseidon and Caesar, were docked at a private port not far from Port Loti, a company of soldiers from the Kolo Corps had lined up on the dock in the most majestic manner to welcome Kolo's real owner.

To be honest, although Kolo is a country dominated by black people, it is ironic that the soldiers of the Kolo Corps who greeted them did not look much different from the American soldiers in terms of appearance or equipment...

Well, if you ignore the difference in uniforms and equipment, even if the proportion of black soldiers in it exceeds 50%, it does not look much different from the French army...

By the way, in terms of flags, the flag of the Kolo Corps is also quite different from the white flag of France.

After Barron and his family landed on land, they boarded the convoy that came to greet him...

This convoy, like when he was in England, consisted of the Land Rover Defenders of the escort team and the Bentley Mulsannes that he and his family drove - these cars were all driven from Britta, the capital of Colo, and were originally parked at his residence, Jupiter Building, and were used by him when he came to Colo.

From the city view outside the car window, Barron could see that although the capital of Colo had moved from the city of Loti to Britta inland, Loti had not stopped developing. Compared with the last time he came here, Loti looked more prosperous, and the city landscape was more beautiful and tidy.

There were fewer slums that could be seen frequently before, and they were replaced by many newly built residential areas...

After all, Loti is still the largest city in Colo. Thanks to the development of port transshipment and the development of Colo's offshore oil fields, as a neighboring city, the income of local residents is also continuing to grow, and the number of rich people is much greater than before.

If we make a comparison, the status of Britta and Loti in Kolo is somewhat similar to that of Yanjing and Modu in China.

In a country, the first to develop will always be a city with excellent geographical location and functionality, such as the three major cities in Kolo, namely Loti, Britta and Dassault.

These three cities are located at the three important nodes of the Loda Railway and the Loda Expressway, the main transportation arteries of Kolo.

The coastal port of Loti, the inland capital of Britta, and the terminus of the Loda Railway and the Loda Expressway, Dassault, located at the junction of Loti, Ghana, Burkina Faso and Benin, has become the largest small commodity sales market in Kolo besides Loti. Merchants from many inland countries in West Africa will go to Dassault to purchase various goods shipped from overseas.

"Baby, I think you have eaten too much. Let's take a break and let them take you out to play, okay?"

As a port city, Loti also has a lot of seafood here. Well, many seafoods are what the children have never seen in London before, and they are also very delicious.

Therefore, Barron could clearly see that George Cavendish's belly was bulging with food...

The house where Barron and his family lived in Loti was the former presidential palace.

After the capital of Colo moved from Loti to Britta, this place became empty. After being renovated, it became Barron's residence in Loti.

In any case, this presidential palace was once the residence of a country's leader. Before it became the presidential palace, it was the governor's palace of the French governor in the colonial era. It was built very exquisitely and elegantly, and also had a bit of historical atmosphere.

After dinner, the women and children began to visit here.

And Barron met with Errol Brut, the commander of the Colo Corps, in the study.

"You mean the conflict with Benin is not over yet, right?"

"Yes, Your Highness, after we successfully entered Benin twice and raided the militants' strongholds, there have been no more cross-border attacks on us in the north..."

Erol introduced the recent situation to Barron:

"However, although the frequency of armed ships entering our offshore oil fields to harass us is very low, it still happens from time to time..."

"So what plans do you have for this, Mr. Legion Commander?"

“Before this, we used armed patrol boats and gunboats to defend our offshore oil fields, which was relatively passive. However, after the two frigates are commissioned, we will soon formulate a plan to hide these armed forces in parts of Benin. Strike in the area of ​​​​the ship..."

Barron is very supportive of Errol's plan.

After all, Colo's offshore oil fields are very important to them, and he does not want these harassments to affect the production of offshore oil fields.

Although the current oil price has dropped somewhat compared to before, it is still at a relatively high level - entering August, the price of Brent crude oil in London is still above US$80...

Therefore, taking advantage of the current opportunity to increase production can also bring more benefits to Colo and United Energy Group.

For this reason, it is necessary to crack down on Benin's harassment.

Even if Benin will protest against this, Barron and Kolo will not care at all. Who asked you to find trouble first?

Besides, with the two frigates, Benin no longer poses any threat to Colo in terms of maritime power...

At present, Kolo's intelligence agency has obtained the general location of the opponent's armed ship, and then two frigates joining the Kolo Legion's naval sequence are needed to destroy it.
