Chapter 1518: Go to the meeting alone

There are sentries everywhere on the outskirts of the Kobwa armed camp. These soldiers, who were not uniform in their uniforms, guarded the intersections, some shirtless, some barefoot. Their camp is a simple village, surrounded by a few old containers and a large row of oil drums as a fence.
Lin Rui fell on the ground and raised the telescope to observe the surroundings. From the outside, it was impossible for them to see where the hostages were being held. The whole camp is messy and there is everywhere. There are chickens and ducks running on the ground. Several black soldiers were smoking cigarettes. From their appearance, they were still teenagers.
"Damn it, it's a child soldier again." Lin Rui frowned.
In Africa, in high-intensity armed conflicts, children are considered the most economic candidates to replace adult soldiers. They are easily brainwashed. And since the concept of death has not yet been formed, they can become effective fighters. Therefore, child soldiers have appeared in a large number of African civil wars.
The Congolese Civil War is also a hardest hit by child soldiers. In the Congo, most of the Scout soldiers have been brainwashed. These children regard atrocities as trifles and massacres as the norm. In order to overcome the fear of child soldiers on the battlefield, warlords of armed factions will also force children to take narcotic drugs, alcohol and stimulants to strengthen their courage. Many child soldiers were sent to perform the most dangerous tasks such as charging, mine clearance, and spying on the military situation. Many of the child soldiers died in the war.
On February 6, 2007, representatives from 58 countries signed the "Paris Commitment" in Paris, the French capital, promising to prevent the recruitment and use of child soldiers. Although the use of child soldiers is a violation of the laws of war, today, in more than 30 areas where armed conflicts are fierce around the world, children still cannot escape the shadow of forced recruitment.
Especially in places like Africa, there are often warlords and underage child soldiers.
Lin Rui didn't like this situation of being forced to fight a group of children. He can't slaughter these skinny African children, but once war starts, they don't have the same sympathy as you, and they will shoot you without hesitation.
Crazy Horse also whispered, "There are also many children on the flanks who are serving as guards, some of them seem to be under ten years old. Kobois, this damned bastard, he better not fall into my hands. What shall we do now ?"
"Frontal assault is obviously not good, and it will not have the effect of a raid. They will use those ignorant children to help them, but they will hide behind. In just a few minutes, our advantage of raiding will be reduced. Even if we rushed in. , They will run away with the hostages, or directly hurt those hostages." Lin Rui whispered.
"But what can we do?" Sergey frowned. "Boss, this is not the time when sympathy is overflowing. These children have genuine weapons in their hands. Sympathizing with them will cost your lives. You know us. By law, the enemy is the enemy except for the friendly."
Jiang An shook his head and said, "I understand what you mean, Sergey. But the current situation is that even if I rush out now, I will kill the little at once. The other soldiers in the camp will also rush out to resist. In this way, even if we storm in, we may not be able to rescue the hostages. And can you really kill an eleven or twelve-year-old child?"
Sergey was silent.
Lin Rui thought for a while, and suddenly passed the gun in his hand to Jiang An. "You are all waiting here, listen to my orders, and I will meet this Kobwa in person."
"You go alone? This can't work!" Jiang An shook his head, "Cobwa is emotionally unstable. He may shoot and kill people at any time because a word is wrong. If you go like this, you may not even see him. He ordered it to be shot."
"I won't go alone, I will take him, the arms supplier, with him." Lin Rui turned and looked at Maskjold.
Maskjold quickly said, "I said, even I don't see him every time now. He is no better now than before. In the past, in order to ensure the supply of weapons and ammunition, he even flattered me. . But now he is more powerful, and the situation is completely reversed. Many times he doesn’t see me directly, just asks his hand to come down and talk to me."
"He will meet you." Lin Rui nodded. "Because you want to inform him that from the next month, the price of your arms will increase by 50%."
"Ah?!" Maskjold said in surprise, "This will irritate him completely. Listen to me, my friend, it's not a good idea to irritate him. Did you see the flagpole there? The last guy who dared to bargain with him, The wire was hung there."
"It's okay, you can say it was my idea, as long as I can talk to him face to face." Lin Rui whispered, "I promise you will be fine."
Maskjold looked at him with a look of embarrassment, "It really doesn't work..."
Maskjold knew that in this way, everyone would know that he and this gang of mercenaries were in the same group. Even if he killed Kobwa, he would never want to do business in this area. Sorry, I am not here to discuss with you, but to order. So you must go. Lin Rui shook his head.
Maskjold silenced in despair.
Lin Rui pushed Maskjold into a car, and then drove the car forward so as not to leave the camp. "Don't expect to run away. Cooperate with me, maybe there is still a chance, if you plan to escape. You know what will end." Lin Rui said while driving, looking at him.
The soldiers in front saw their car waved to stop them, but when they saw Maskjold, they obviously relaxed their vigilance. Because Maskjold is a frequent visitor here.
"Mr. Maskjold." The soldiers nodded.
"Get out of the way, I want to see Kobois, immediately, I have very important things to talk to him." Maskjold said solemnly.
"Of course, but who is he?" The soldier looked at Lin Rui.
"My newly hired driver, when did you see me driving by myself?" Maskjold said.
"Okay, come here, please." The soldier motioned to his two companions to remove the roadblock and let their off-road vehicles pass.
Lin Rui smiled and nodded as he started the car and drove inside. "I can't tell, you are still very quick-witted." Lin Rui whispered.
"Don't be it, I just want to keep this life. I will do exactly what you say. However, what will happen then is beyond my control." Maskjold said in a low voice. .
"Do what you should do, and let us handle the rest." Lin Rui glanced at him. Their car was stopped again at the entrance of the camp. A group of black child soldiers came over to check with their weapons. These children were grey and sloppy, but they all had weapons in their hands.
