Chapter 1521: Mining camp

"I said, they were here the other day. However, they were taken to the mining area the night before." Cobwa gasped.
"What mining area and where is it located?" Lin Rui shouted in a deep voice.
"No one knows that place. It's in a wetland near Lake Albert. We found a diamond mine there last year. We hired people to mine and wash the sand there. Because it's in a dense wetland forest, no one knows that place. . Even the government forces don’t know that there is a diamond mine there.
Kobois said.
"Impossible. If there really is a diamond mine, the news should spread quickly. It is impossible that you have been secretly mining for more than half a year, and no one knows yet." Lin Rui frowned.
"Yes, it is always difficult to keep secrets for this kind of thing. So we burned all the nearby villages, then locked up all the adults to work, and put the children into the barracks. No one knew we were in the camp. Why, we don't contact the outside world either. All sales channels are represented by a European company.
They collect as much as we collect. Of course the price is much lower than the international market, but it is enough for us. They are very efficient, and all are settled in cash. Kobois whispered.
"Is it possible?" Lin Rui frowned.
"If their goods are sold directly to the secret agency to Europe, then they really won't attract too much attention. Because the secret agency operates everything behind the scenes, even if the government forces deliberately want to check them, they may not be able to get from the wetland dense forest. Find that place in the middle. Besides, the current government forces themselves are all overwhelmed. No one will care about it." Jiang An nodded.
Kobois sighed, "But the good times are not long. The Chinese have to build roads nearby to pass through this wetland. Because the geology is soft, they must do further exploration. Once the diamond mine is discovered, it will inevitably cause problems. The surrounding warlords covet, everything we have spent so long to build will no longer exist."
"That's why you kidnapped the Chinese construction workers, hoping to create tension so that they can be forced to stop construction in that area." Lin Rui pointed his gun at him and said, "Then why transfer the hostages?"
"The people in the secret society think that they are not safe here. There are still too many people who know this place, and there is no secret of the mining area. Moreover, there is a recent labor shortage. After the last attack on the Chinese, we have not been too active recently. So as not to attract the attention of government forces and other warlords. So they transferred those Chinese to the mining area and let them work as laborers." Kobwa whispered.
"Your abacus is pretty good." Lin Rui nodded, "Use hostages as labor. Where is the location of that mining area?"
"I can take you there, but you can't save people from there. The secret agency is in control. Even my people cannot enter and leave the place where the hostages are held. These people are very powerful." Kobwa Whisper.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Sergey lifted him up, "What will the boss do with him?"
"Drag to the car, don't let him die, we need to let him lead the way. We set off immediately." Lin Rui said solemnly. "Get the brethren ready, there may be a fierce battle next."
"Understood." Sergey and Crazy Horse mounted Kobwa into the car. His leg had been broken, leaving a blood mark on the ground.
"What about the militants here?" Jiang An asked.
"Keep them all locked up and wait for the government forces to clean up the mess. Let's do our own thing." Lin Rui waved, "All get in the car."
The shining, hard and hard diamond is not only a symbol of strength, but also eternal love, so it is loved by women all over the world. According to statistics, about half of the world’s diamonds are currently produced in Africa, and almost without exception, the exquisite and precious diamonds come from Africa.
But what these diamonds bring to Africa is not wealth, but endless violence, blood and cannibalism. It can be said that every diamond is stained with blood. In order to mine, produce and transport these diamonds, it is unknown how many people died innocently.
Driven by huge profits, diamond mining has not only stimulated the greed of the local powerful people, but also led to intensified civil wars among various races, and ordinary people living at the bottom of society have truly become the biggest victims of diamonds.
The civil wars in some African countries have been unable to stop for decades, and the government forces and the rebels have also fought on equal footing. One of the important reasons is that the mining and smuggling of diamonds has made the rebels rich in wealth. They either use the dollars they get from the sale of diamonds or directly use the diamonds in exchange for arms, which has kept the rebels’ supply of weapons constantly flowing.
In order to cover up their illegal diamond smuggling activities, some countries with constant civil wars exported diamonds to the European market through third countries such as Gambia in West Africa, and then used the obtained dollars to buy large amounts of arms to support wars with neighboring countries or domestic racial fires. and.
The civil war in the Congo over the territory of diamond producing areas has been going on for many years, and neighbouring Rwanda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Burundi have also been involved, and the entire southern Africa has evolved into a battlefield. Diamonds brought violence, blood and endless cannibalism.
In the world's most famous diamond cutting, polishing and trading places such as Antwerp in Belgium, Tel Aviv in Israel and New York in the United States, representatives of African countries openly exchanged diamonds for weapons. In these places, many diamond and arms dealers are engaged in various illegal transactions every day, and ak-47 submachine guns, rocket launchers and other heavy weapons are continuously flowing into Africa.
In contrast, these messy small diamond mines are on earth. There is no such thing as mechanical mining at all, and everything is done manually. Many African blacks who have no food to eat stand in the half-deep quagmire, using the simplest tools to wash in the sand, looking for diamonds. High-intensity work and poor sanitary conditions have made many of them unable to live long in this environment.
The diamond mine in Kobwa is such a place. Strictly speaking, it cannot be regarded as a mine at all. There is no mining equipment and no labor security. It is a valley in the dense forest. A group of black militants armed with guns and a group of forced laborers. That's all of this diamond mine.
In order not to disturb these militants, the vehicles of Lin Rui and others did not approach this place. Instead, get off the car at a far distance and walk close in the jungle. Lin Rui whispered, "Be careful. In order to prevent the workers from escaping, they set up a power grid and minefields outside the camp. We must further investigate the situation before we start."
