Sierra Leone is located in West Africa, where it used to be the source of supply of slaves in Europe and is now one of the poorest countries in the world. Please search ()! The newest novels are ranked second in the world in terms of purchasing power, health and longevity, or education level. Construction is even more serious. Most of the economic activities collapsed due to the civil war.
However, after the war, there was an influx of foreign aid to help Sierra Leone rebuild. The ship that Lin Rui and the others were on was a construction aid ship, and it went smoothly. No one would have thought that a group of mercenaries had now become a group of workers. And they all have proper documents, so there is absolutely no need to worry about them even if they are inspected
Diamonds are good things, but not all good things bring good luck. An 11-year war broke out in this country to fight for control of the diamond mine. Before the war, Sierra Leone had a famous title-"Little Paris in West Africa". It has regressed from a resort to a country with a lack of infrastructure.
During the war, a large number of rural people poured into the cities. After the war, most people were unwilling to return to their destroyed hometowns and remained in the capital, Freetown. Disabled people affected by the war live on the streets, begging for their lives; young people have nothing to do, relying on small businesses or exchange dollars to make ends meet. In the Human Development Index ranking released by the United Nations Development Program, Sierra Leone ranked tenth from the bottom.
Now, 13 years have passed since the end of the civil war, but on the streets of Freeton, you can still see the scorched walls and windows full of bullet holes after the war. The people who lived in those houses may have never seen diamonds in their lives, but they have suffered enough. This is Sierra Leone-the land of blood diamonds. This place was once the most rampant place for mercenary activities in Africa.
When leaving the customs, Lin Rui and others were stopped, and the inspectors had been flipping their belongings. Long Zhengwu was familiar with this set of habitual tricks, and passed a banknote to solve all the troubles.
"Otherwise, this group of people will keep investigating, deliberately delaying your time. In fact, it is for good." Long Zhengwu smiled.
They went to a slum. Along the way, I drove the low and shabby furry shop, mainly selling daily necessities such as clothing, bread, bottled water and fruits. Many people don’t wear their shirts, including some women. There are pits on the road, and many of the goods are fake and shoddy.
The deeper the road, the narrower and narrower it is, and there is only enough space for one vehicle body. In the villages that pass by, most of the cottages are straw houses, and people's mental state has become weak, or lying or sitting. There are few people walking back and forth, and the voice of greeting is weak. A little bit here is already one of the poorest places in their country.
Going forward, you will reach the stockade where the chief lives. The Black Leopard Gulei asked the chief and some elders to their assembly hall. The so-called assembly hall is a large canopy with a furry roof and some very primitive lengths. stool. Then everyone sat in a circle, waiting for the chief to arrive.
"We are here to meet an African chief? I thought we were going to the secret base of the US military." Sergey whispered.
"You'll know in a while." Black Panther Gulei said calmly. "This person is very useful to us."
Soon the chief came, and he was taken aback when he Black Panther Gulei. Then he walked up quickly and saluted the Black Panther Gulei, his attitude was almost religious.
Black Panther Gulei nodded and said a few words to him. After the two exchanged for a while, the black chief left.
"What are you talking about, is it the local language?" Lin Rui frowned.
"No. The chief is a friend of mine. I rescued him several times during the war in Sierra Leone. He used to be a member of the government army and had many ways. It is very appropriate to find him to understand the situation." Black Panther Gulei said calmly.
"Is he reliable? You haven't seen him for so long after all." Lin Rui frowned.
"I trust him very much. And my people will stare at him secretly, and if he changes, they will get rid of him immediately." Black Panther Gulei said calmly, "Now we need further intelligence and weapons and equipment, and we need another one. A place to hide temporarily. These chiefs can give it to us."
"I hope." Long Zhengwu nodded. "This time we successfully avoided Lannis's eyeliner. It's best not to expose our whereabouts so quickly. Otherwise, they will easily think of what we are going to do next."
"Can he help us get weapons?" Lin Rui frowned, "This time we entered the country as workers, and we didn't even have weapons."
"In this place, weapons are never a problem, but are used to solve problems." Gulei smiled.
Soon the chief came back and whispered a few words to Black Panther Gulei.
Gulei nodded and said, "He has already arranged all the manpower, and within two days, he will get news."
"A chief is so useful?" Sergey said in amazement.
"Of course, no matter who you are on this land and what you want to do must be approved by the chief. The U.S. military needs manpower, materials, and vehicles to build a new base. If you don't say hello to the local chief, they do everything. It can't be done. For the locals, the president is not a chief." Long Zhengwu smiled.
Gulei nodded, "The U.S. military is engaged in the construction of bases and must alarm the surrounding locals. It is very easy for the chief to collect this information. In addition, he once presided over the destruction of weapons after the war, and his private collection can be armed. A regiment."
The African chief led them to the hut at the back. After opening the door, the inside was full of guns tied with straw. Some are rusty, some are still greased and unopened. They are not advanced weapons, most of them are cheap and practical AK series rifles. There are still a lot of bullets.
Park Dongxiang shook his head and said, "I want to destroy a base, but this is not what I want."
"I know what you need, come here." Gu Lei took him to another place, opened the tarp, and there were shells underneath. "If you remove these, you can get enough black ladder explosives."
Lin Rui thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid this won't work. If it is underwater blasting, the amount of black ladder explosive is too large to carry."
Park Dongxiang nodded, "Underwater blasting, if you can get the Chinese Hesar P30 high-power explosive, or the Israeli-developed Cronto IV underwater explosive. It should have better results."
"Well, let me figure out a way. Give me the specific model and quantity you need, and I will try to solve it within three days." Gu Lei thought for a while.
Park Dongxiang nodded, "In addition, I need a delay detonation device and a signal receiver."
