Chapter 3373: Smuggling organization

"What do you mean, follow the slave trade line to track down and get the evidence that they have stolen uranium mines?" Lin Rui asked.
"That's it. With the help of the Orumi Federation's participation in counter-terrorism operations, the Secret Agency actually controls Sirte, and has adopted a reckless approach to the Sirte secessionist forces. It has actually caused dissatisfaction among the French, if there are any more Evidence shows that they have something to do with this terrorist attack. The attitude of the French towards them will not be too polite." Silver Wolf nodded. "With the French power in Africa, even the Yankees have to give them some points. The secret agency provokes them, which is a very good thing for us."
"This is also true. For Northwest Africa, the French have always regarded it as their sphere of influence. The rapid rise of the Orumi Federation and some of their practices have made the French feel quite dissatisfied. If we can control them to steal Niger The evidence of uranium ore may be able to pull out more clues. It is still a trivial matter to pirate some uranium ore to refine some yellow cakes. In case they are also involved in uranium enrichment technology, the trouble here can be big. Let alone France People, I don't think even Americans can sit still." Lin Rui nodded.
"So for this mission, are you planning to follow?" Silver Wolf looked at Lin Rui and asked.
"I can follow. But you know my style. We must learn more. I want to meet the slave who escaped." Lin Rui nodded.
"I will ask Vitalk's intelligence team to arrange for you. He discovered the man and he is still in Niger." Silver Wolf nodded and took out the phone to inform Vitalk.
In the afternoon, Lin Rui saw the slave. A young black man, judging from his appearance, would never be more than 20 years old. But he was very small and skinny. He was wearing a tattered T-shirt and a pair of tourist shoes with exposed toes on his feet. He looked no different from the ordinary black youth wandering on the street, but his skin was rough and his other eye had cataracts.
"What's your name?" Lin Rui frowned as he looked at him.
"He doesn't understand English, so let me ask." Black Panther Goulei came over and tried several African native languages ​​before he could barely communicate with the black man.
"He said his name is Yasenusi, a Nigerian." Black Panther Gulei said to Lin Rui.
"Ask him about that uranium mine." Lin Rui nodded.
Black Panther Gulei asked the black man a few words in a low voice, and then said to Lin Rui, "He knows that place, but he doesn't know where it is. He escaped and has no sense of direction. He stayed there. For about three months, there were many black people who were enslaved. They were imprisoned and mined a kind of stone, and people often died. Many black people said that it was the rock of the devil underground.
He didn't know that place was there, but he knew that slave traders in Libya knew that he was sold from here. He originally wanted to smuggle to Europe, but when he was in Libya, the smuggled snakehead was resold several times in the middle. He said that people often die in that mine, so other slaves are often sent there. Those slave traders may know the route. "
"Ask him how to find those slave traders." Lin Rui whispered.
Black Panther Goulei continued to communicate with the black man in a low voice. The black man said something nervously and hurriedly, and kept gesturing.
Black Panther Gulei nodded, "He said, you have to find a snake head."
"Snake head?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Snake heads are guides or organizers. They generally refer to those who take the smuggled people out of the country and make money from them. This term is relative to the term human snake. Human snake refers specifically to people who smuggle abroad. Because they don’t Dare to walk through normal channels, only dare to follow rugged mountain roads, or conduct activities through the dark night, so it is called human snake.
These snakeheads generally do not directly buy and sell people, but collect illegal immigration fees from them. However, many so-called snakeheads will use the excuses of going abroad, applying for passports, and applying for identity in other countries to commit fraud. They do not smuggle people to their destinations, and some may even seek fortune and death halfway through. Some snakeheads on Libya Road also conduct illegal human trafficking.
The current situation in Libya is chaotic, and because of the special terrain on the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, it is the best place to sneak into Europe. Many young people and children who cannot mix in other countries or want to go out to meet the world will gather in Libya as illegal immigrants. He then attempted to cross the Mediterranean Sea through organized smuggling to reach Europe. This kind of thing is not uncommon. "Black Panther Gulei nodded.
"Then who are the snakeheads who are smuggling by these organizations?" Lin Rui frowned.
"There are all kinds of people, most of them are armed organizations. They make money through this kind of thing. Of course, there are also some black people who are so poor that they only have pants and slippers. Such people generally cannot pay for smuggling, so these people They will be kidnapped and blackmailed from their families, ranging from a few hundred to thousands of dollars. If you really can’t squeeze any oil or water, some will be let go.
But some snakeheads are afraid that they will talk nonsense after they go back and affect their business. They will also kill them and throw them into the sea. Some of the more unlucky ones are being resold. Snakeheads will sell these people to some slave traders, who then resell them to other places that require low-cost labor. In some places, there are even public market prices. Arabs are more expensive than blacks, women are more expensive than men, and children are the cheapest, because they can't do much heavy work. "Black Panther Gulei whispered.
"There is a real demand, there is a market." Lin Rui shook his head. "It seems that to find the transportation routes for these slaves, we still have to start with the organizers."
"Yes, Vitak’s people have already found out the most famous snakeheads in Libya. According to the clues provided by Yasenusi, he was taken hostage and sold in Sirte. We also did it. Investigation. Indeed, several armed organizations specializing in assisting black smuggling were active in Sirte. Recently, these smuggling organizations have been repeatedly attacked by maritime patrols, resulting in a backlog of illegal immigrants.
The smuggled passengers cannot be transported out, and there is a cost to keep them in hand. So these smuggling organizations started buying and selling people, selling these smugglers to slave traders. This is also one of the reasons for the rampant slave trade in the past six months. "Black Panther Gulei replied.
"It is the secret society organization that controls the Port of Sirte. If they say they will eat and do nothing, and run to fight smuggling, I will never believe it." Lin Rui shook his head and said, "It is very likely that they did it deliberately and forced it. The smuggling snakeheads of these organizations have no alternative. They stock up on a large number of illegal immigrants who cannot leave the country, so they can only switch to trading people."
