Chapter 1517: Secret society

Maskjold smiled forcefully, "I've already done this, so what tricks can I do. Kobois is just one of my clients, and he is looking for death by himself. What can I do?"
"Very smart. Then get in the car, Mr. Maskjold. Also, it's best to let your bodyguards shut their mouths." Lin Rui gestured, "You know, in case we get there, But who would be the most unlucky in an ambush?"
"That's me naturally." Maskjold sighed.
"It's good to know." Pushing the shore into the cart, "Let's go." Their three off-road vehicles took the horse and galloped east along the lake.
"Lin Rui, this is the latest news from Cobain. The satellite shows that there are indeed signs of small army activities based on the location that Maskjold said. However, they seem to move frequently, their whereabouts are secret, and they are not at that distance. In the distance, there is a construction site of a Chinese company. He checked, those Chinese should be helping to build a border highway."
"From where to where?" Lin Rui frowned.
"The plan is to reach here from Uganda and build along the lake area, but due to frequent regional conflicts. So far, all geological exploration has not been completed." Jiang An thought for a while and said in a low voice, "I suspect this is the kidnapping of Kobwa. The purpose of a Chinese employee."
"How do you say?" Lin Rui frowned.
"The Democratic Republic of the Congo is very rich in minerals. Road exploration, as a result, mineral deposits have been discovered from time to time. Kobwa chose to occupy this place and tried to prevent the construction of Chinese construction. Then it is very likely that he found some mineral deposits here, and It's a rich mine. And he is using these resources in exchange for funds, expanding his arms, and even looking for mercenaries.
But he also knows that if this border road continues to advance, it will affect his wealth accumulation plan. Once the prospecting finds that there are large mineral deposits nearby, the resource information will be reported, and immediately this will be the fat meat in the eyes of the government and other military forces. He doesn't want such a result, he wants to make a fortune in silence. "Jiangan whispered.
"It makes sense. Recently, the conflict in this region has intensified. It is entirely his cause. The kidnapping of Chinese workers and extorting high ransoms is a pretense, mainly to put pressure on Chinese companies to make them think that the situation in this region is severe and the project is suspended. So as to force this aid project to be shelved indefinitely, so as not to ruin the warlord's wealth plan." Lin Rui nodded.
"This makes sense. Why did they issue such a high ransom? They are going to destroy this border highway plan." Jiang An nodded.
"It may not be that simple. In most of the resource smuggling in Africa, secret agencies are almost involved. They often participate in it in the name of Western companies, using arms and funds to buy these local warlords, and then some diamonds and rare metals. The precious resources are smuggled into Europe. The secret society has always done this before to obtain huge profits." Lin Rui whispered.
"It makes sense. The Turkish warlord of Kobwa would never have such a good mind, and most African warlords would not specifically target the Chinese at all." Sergey replied.
"Yesterday when Crazy Horse and I came out to listen for intelligence, we talked with the local government soldiers. They have been fighting for many years. The government and the armed forces have won each other's victory and defeat, and the battle has always been stalemate.
I asked the black soldiers, why didn’t the armed forces come to attack their camp? Didn’t one of your villages bloodbath the other day? The black officer's answer was beyond my expectation. Because there are a large number of Chinese in the camp. Armed bullying and afraid of hardship, basically will not attack the Chinese here. Armed attacks on camps with a large number of Chinese workers would be a brazen war against China, and they didn't have the guts, so they bullied the government army and fell.
What's more, China's investment and assistance in Africa has been enormous over the years. The army also hopes that one day in the future they will gain power and receive assistance from China. Therefore, in general, the military will not attack the Chinese. The real attacks on the Chinese were the large numbers of bandits and mobs in war-torn areas.
The black military officers also revealed that they are also willing to defend the Chinese, and they are not willing to go to the front line and stay with the Chinese. They are relatively safe and do not infringe much. They simply relied on the Chinese to protect them. "
Lin Rui frowned, "Therefore, someone behind Kobwa is supporting him and making suggestions for him. Therefore, in the past six months, he has grown from a few Ugandan bandit forces to a large-scale warlord armed forces. With the financial resources and armed support of the secret society , Even if Kobois is an idiot puppet who doesn’t know anything, he can still sit firmly here as a prince."
"Lin Rui, it seems that Qin Chuan did not tell us the truth. He may know that the matter is related to the secret agency and cannot be resolved through normal negotiation channels, so he came to us." Jiang An whispered.
"It should be like this." Lin Rui nodded, "but it doesn't matter. Anyway, we have already taken over this task, so there is no way to back down."
Jiang An nodded, "I think so too, but the secret society is different from ordinary African warlords. Their military literacy is very high, most of their members have undergone rigorous combat training, and their style is very tough. We don't know the number and number of each other. Armed, isn’t it a bit too presumptuous to go rashly like this?"
"Things have to be looked at from two sides." Lin Rui thought for a while, "We are going now, it seems reckless, but they are also lack of preparation. And if we are fully prepared before going, we must wait at least two more days. These two days , You can count on Maskjold not to inform Kobwa? Even if we control Maskjold, what about his men?"
"It makes sense." Jiang An nodded, "things are not perfect. After that, let's look at the situation before making a decision."
Lin Rui nodded, "I understand. If you are not sure, you will never act rashly."
He pressed his earphones and said, "Kebain, I remember you collected this information. I need the location of all the branches of the secret society recently. Help me see if there may be a lot of traces of armed activities of the secret society. "
"On the border between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda?" Cobain replied, "It should not be possible. Although the secret society's activities are hidden, they are more or less regular. Of course, there may also be a few militants in the secret society. You know since their last time. After the action, there have been no signs of large-scale activities, but very scattered."
"In other words, it is impossible for them to have a large number of armed men in this area." Lin Rui nodded, "OK, give me the information about the Kobwa camp. I need a detailed satellite map."
