Li Du looked at the area occupied by the soldiers and suddenly realized that it was not because of the size of Godzilla and Big Quinn that they did not dare to approach. It was because they knew that this was the territory of the soldiers!
Tucson was one of the garrisons of the United States. The Davis Monson Air Force Base was located there, which was related to the local manufacturing industry. Everyone knew that Houston was the Space City of the United States. In fact, Tucson also had a similar name, which was the Flying City.
There were many aviation manufacturing companies in the area, and they were closely related to high-tech industries such as missiles, aircraft parts, computers, electronic equipment, and optical instruments.
The Hughes Aircraft Company had a missile system division here. The division was built in the early 1950s, and by 1957, it had become the largest missile manufacturing plant in the world.
Various missiles were produced here, such as Tao anti-tank missiles, long-range air-to-air Phoenix missiles, air-to-ground Maverick missiles, Roland anti-aircraft missiles, and new air-to-air missiles for F-16 and F-18 fighter jets.
Therefore, it was not surprising to see an Air Force soldier here.
Listening to the other party's stern tone, Li Du was a little flustered. F * ck, would he be beaten up by the soldiers?
He was confident in his combat skills and even more so in the combat abilities of Godzilla and Big Quinn. However, that depended on the opponent. Looking at these well-trained soldiers, he was under a lot of pressure.
Hans's reaction was different. He still had a carefree look on his face as he asked, "What's wrong? We're staying at a hotel, and the hotel allows us to use this place. Don't tell me that the Air Force owns this land. "
The black officer nodded solemnly and said, "Alright, can you give us a barbecue grill? We have a lot of people today, so we don't have enough barbecue grills. "
Li Du asked in surprise, "Just because of this?"
The black officer nodded again, his expression still very serious.
Li Du and the others' barbecue grills were from the hotel, and they could use them for free as long as they had the room number. They had a lot of barbecue grills, so they gave one to the soldiers.
The soldiers returned the favor by giving them two cans of beer.
Li Du patted his chest. The American soldiers were not as violent and fierce as the media made them out to be.
Hans squinted at him and said, "What are you afraid of?"
Li Du said, "Afraid of getting beaten up by the soldiers."
"Sh * t, there are so many people here, and there might even be people from the media. Even if they have the support of the military, they won't dare to do anything to us, as long as we don't cause any trouble," Hans said disdainfully.
Li Du said, "Your attitude is not right. It's better to treat soldiers better."
"Why? Why should we treat them differently? "
Li Du said, "These people are protecting the country and protecting you. If it weren't for them, would you be able to eat barbecue here in peace?"
Hans said, "But I paid them protection fees. I paid their taxes on time and paid their salaries on time. What's wrong with that? It's my duty, and it's their duty as well. "
Li Du blinked and said, "Anyway, I don't think your attitude is very good."
Hans waved his hand disdainfully. "Enough, you've been brainwashed by the movies. Do you think soldiers are patriots? Not necessarily. They joined the army for the salary and personal development, not to protect the country. "
Big Quinn nodded in agreement. Even Godzilla nodded in agreement. Li Du did not say anything more. It was normal to be influenced by different cultures.
In any case, these soldiers were well-behaved. They ate barbecue, drank beer, and chatted in their own territory.
Li Du wanted to move closer to eavesdrop, but he was worried that the other party was discussing some military secrets. If he provoked the other party into pulling out a gun and killing him, who would he go to to reason with?
Fortunately, he had a new subordinate, Lu Guan. He waved him over and asked him to tell him the result.
The result was that these guys were scolding the former president and the current president. A large group of soldiers were swearing. After hearing Lu Guan's words, he could not believe it. Were these people plotting a rebellion?
Of course not. It was common for Americans to scold the president, and it was also common for soldiers to scold the president. They could even scold their immediate superior, the Minister of Defense, but not the leaders of the military.
The next day, they drove to their destination, Red Mountain Storage Company.
This storage company was located in the suburbs of Tucson, covering a large area. However, with the transformation of the city, the surrounding residents had moved away. Without customers, the storage company had no business.
Now there was a real estate developer interested in the land. The storage company saw that it was profitable, so they simply filed for bankruptcy, sold all the storage units, and sold the land to make money.
They stopped the car and Li Du and Hans walked to the storage company.
However, 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 did not accept them.
This surprised Hans. He wondered, "These guys think they are the guards of the air force base? When did they become so dedicated to their duties? "
The storage security guards were generally black people of color. They did not make much money, but they were brave. As long as there was some extra money, they would not refuse.
Li Du said, "Let's not buy things in the future. Let's buy some coupons, or this is more practical."
Hans said, "Why don't we use Franklin to open the way?"
As he said this, he took out some cash and gave it to the security guard. "Two hundred dollars, buddy. You just have to go over there and pee, and this is yours."
The security guard looked at him warily. "What are you doing?"
Hans said, "Don't worry, we are storage treasure hunters. We are going to participate in the auction tomorrow. We are going in to familiarize ourselves with the environment."
"If you are worried, you can follow me," Li Du said.
Looking at the cash in Hans's hand, the security guard licked his lips and said, "How about this: you can go in, but this Chinese guy can't."
Li Du asked curiously, "Why?"
The security guard shrugged. "I can't answer. Anyway, this is the only way."
Hans reacted quickly. He squinted his eyes and asked, "Obviously, someone told you that if any Chinese treasure hunters want to enter the storage unit, you are not allowed to let them go, right?"
The security guard looked at the money in his hand. Hans did not care about the small change, so he took out a bill and handed it to him.
The security guard immediately said, "Yes, I have no choice, buddy. That was an order from our captain. I can't go against him. I don't want to lose this job."
Hans said to Li Du, "No problem. Now someone is targeting us. It should be the locals who know that we will be attending this auction, so they used their connections to arrange security to guard against us."
Li Du smiled and said, "Is that so? Seems like this city is not friendly. We haven't even met the local people, and they are already trying to put us in our place. "
Most of the treasure hunters were smart. They had noticed Li Du's success in the storage auctions. They studied his actions and found some problems.
