From Arms Dealer To King of War

  Chapter 931 Congo Features

  Boss Joe followed his own rhythm and went downstream to Kinshasa like a demonstration.

  Through the four cities of 'Ireb', 'Luclera', 'Bolob', 'Langaranga'...

  Everywhere you go, the riots in these cities stop abruptly!

  The 500 Congolese National Army trained and equipped by P·B sent a distress call to Joe Boss by radio when he was passing by the city "Ireb" at the confluence of the Congo River and the Ubangui River...

Then, less than four hours after the "Blue Whale" dropped anchor, two Su-27s each carried 6 cluster bombs. Under the guidance of the ground troops, they used the "God's Punishment" that the Congolese could not understand, and bloodbathed A rebel gathering place.

  A total of 12 cluster bombs destroyed the camp of the rebels, killing nearly 600 people, including a group of European mercenaries who were training the rebels.

  D team landed on a speedboat when the "Blue Whale" was docked, and under the leadership of the Congolese National Defense Forces, went to the enemy's camp to perform the task of reconnaissance and guidance...

   After returning, the 'Grey Wolf' gave a report like Boss Joe. In the footage they recorded with the camera, those mercenaries didn't look like guys who worked hard for money at all.

  P·B is a military contracting company themselves. They have seen and used countless mercenaries. Sometimes they can tell the identity of the other party by smelling them.

  Caucasian, aged between 25 and 30 years old, very energetic, but very impatient with the harsh environment.

   Judging from the performance of this group of people, they are active soldiers. Even if they are really mercenaries, it hasn't been long since they retired.

   Choga arranged for fighter jets to carry out a scalpel bombing, and then pretended not to know the existence of those 'mercenaries' and ordered to move on.

  After the bombing, the second city "Luclela" passed by. When the "Blue Whale" passed by, a large number of residents gathered to watch by the river...

  The representative of the local tribe is also a person on the Kabila line. Like a guy who was wronged in ancient times, he was driven by a small boat and stopped in front of the 'Blue Whale'.

After forcing Boss Joe's car to stop, an old black man with white hair growled loudly as if acting, demanding that P.B's riverside guards perform their duties and help the conservative riot plagued by 'Luclela'. The city solves the security problem.

  Boss Joe stood at the bow and sincerely expressed to the old black man that he was extremely sorry for his incompetent work...

   This time it was the four members of the Ferrymen who attacked. Under the leadership of several national defense forces from 'Luclela', after 12 hours of hard work, they finally locked the position of the enemy camp.

   Immediately afterwards, four dazzling F-16s entered the Congolese border and launched brutal bombings on a guerrilla training camp and an opposition gathering place.

   Huddled in the jungle, the training camp with dozens of acres in the battlefield was blown into scorched earth.

  Hundreds of soldiers recruited by the guerrillas were sent to the west before they had time to complete their training under the guidance of white instructors.

  The gathering place of the opposition was even worse. An munitions warehouse there was hit by a cluster bomb, and then a martyrdom explosion occurred, and all the valuable munitions inside were destroyed.

  The death caused by the bombing is like a miracle to the locals of ‘Luclela’.

   But if you zoom out the perspective, the deaths of hundreds of people in the rotten place of Congo will not have much impact at all.

  The explosion was terrible, but only those who saw it and went to the scene understood the meaning of "terrible".

  At this time, Afika did not have Internet entertainment software like Doulang, and the internal signal base station construction was not perfect.

Except for a small number of wealthy people who have mobile phones and have photographed the smoke rising after the bombing, there are also various gossip circulating among the high-level people. Most of the remaining information is limited to a range of 15 kilometers upstream and downstream. Inside.

   Even in order to spread this influence, Boss Joe had to participate in the celebration organized by the locals at the invitation of the old black man.

  The so-called celebration seems ridiculous to Boss Joe...

  A chair, two long, springy sticks...

The 8 blacks lifted him up like a sedan chair, and then they sang and danced like a parade, carrying Boss Joe and several tribal bosses around the city center of 'Luclela' lap.

  Boss Joe was still patient in the first half, but in the second half he couldn’t take it anymore...

  It’s okay for the black buddy to sing and dance, it’s fine to carry the ‘sedaner’ and drag him through the street, but it’s a bit too much to shake the ‘sedaner’ as if he is riding the wind and waves.

  Joga saw with his own eyes a middle-aged old black man in front of him, who was thrown into the air by four black people enthusiastically, and then fell into the crowd and lost a tooth.

   There was also an older black man in a white robe. Halfway through the ceremony, he took the bucket handed by the attendant around him, and then vomited the plastic bucket half full with a 'vomit'.

  Boss Qiao couldn't take it anymore after Baipao Laohei made such a move...

In the end, he persisted for nearly 40 minutes. When the ceremony entered the final stage, Boss Qiao asked the local enthusiastic natives to "leave for leave". Everything was vomited out.

  When Qiaojia walked into a 'palace' surrounded by white curtains on cotton steps, and sat down, he looked at those elders who also had ugly faces...

  He felt that this so-called 'celebration' was a special way for local civilians to express their resistance to these 'nobles'.

   Otherwise, how can a "bearer" want to fly the person sitting in the sedan chair from the very beginning?

  Black people are not so unrestrained in carrying coffins!

  Boss Qiao's treatment is not bad, but the ups and downs are a little more violent. Except for the black old man who blocked the river for help, the others will have to suffer a little bit for the last time.

   After the civilian entertainment is over, it's time to show grace!

  The tribal leaders in Congo, or the local 'king', took care of their people in a simple and rude way.

  In addition to the 'king', the other 'ministers' brought their own tables and chairs and lined up outside the 'palace' to solve problems one by one for the locals queuing outside.

  Your sheep were stolen?

   It doesn't matter, the $5 is yours!

  Your wife's sister wants to find a job?

  It doesn't matter, bring it to me to see, she looks good, and I will introduce her to the job.

  伱's pot is broken?

   It doesn't matter, here is 10 yuan, you can buy a new pot with it, and you can also buy a few plates for eating by the way.

  ...

  ...

  The troubles below 10 yuan were intercepted by outsiders...

   Those who were in big trouble were sent to the 'Palace' to have their problems sorted out by their 'King' and Joe Boss.

  Joga was pulled by the enthusiastic old black "King" and made a "20-dollar savior".

   Really a savior!

  Although the leaders of this group of tribes didn’t do anything serious, they just searched for some money, but the locals felt very satisfied.

   This situation made Qiao Jia feel extremely deeply!

  The locals don’t have high expectations of these rulers at all…

  Don't make trouble, and occasionally give us a little bit of benefits, then you are good bosses!

  This might be Afika's version of 'doing nothing'...

   So **** **** up!

   Facing these optimistic civilians, Choga was not ashamed to take the crumpled change bills sent by the 'king', but asked Dorian to fetch a pack of brand new 20-dollar bills from the boat.

  As a banker, he feels ashamed to use bills below 20 yuan when he goes out.

What? Someone in the family is seriously ill?

  The hundred yuan is used to buy medicine and cure diseases!

What? All the livestock at home were taken away?

  Take two hundred yuan to buy livestock cubs!

What? Your wife is going to have a baby and you don't have a house yet?

   Take 500 yuan to buy a beggar's simple house!

  ………

  ………

  The malicious inflation created by Boss Joe made the old black 'king' around him miserable.

  Finally, the 'King' had no choice but to hastily end the 'Benevolence Conference' due to the depletion of cash reserves, and brought Boss Qiao back to the pier respectfully with all his servants...

  This bizarre experience made Choga deeply feel the situation in the Congo inland...

   It's not because they are really ignorant, but because they deeply feel some kind of Afika's original wisdom.

  The tribal 'king' who looks like a psychopath is actually an overseas student who graduated from Oxford University, and his subordinates also have the experience of studying in Europe and the United States.

  They who have been exposed to capital don't care about the locals at all, or those locals are a huge burden for them.

  The 'king' of the tribe is not the same as those kings in Europe, you have to be responsible to the tribe.

   You can’t let the people of the tribe starve, or you will really panic the people below, and they will really kill your whole family.

  This kind of "grace gathering" is not so much a "benevolence", but rather that these "kings" are paying the "king tax" to the people below as the price for their possession of some valuable resources.

   This kind of thing happens 4 times a year, and the total amount is also agreed upon. Anyway, if the year is good, you will pay less, and if the year is bad, you will pay more.

  Congo is said to be a democratic country, but in fact it is a country composed of countless tribes.

  And most tribes rely on similar methods to manage the civilians below, but there are some differences between the north and the south.

   It is this primitive management method. In the past, as long as it was not really a matter of anger and grievances, no one would deliberately oppose them.

  Unfortunately, as the Congo is gradually connecting with the world due to its huge mining resources, the influx of modernization and democratization has led to greater benefits and unfair distribution.

  The high-ranking officials of the faction headed by the president and the powerful tribes occupy most of the government resources in Congo, that is, state-owned resources, and the rest are divided up by other tribes.

  Looking at the map, Congo seems to be quite big, but in fact the area actually managed by the Kinshasa government is far smaller than everyone imagined.

  The tribes and warlords in various places are not a secret at all!

   If the talk is good, I will accept the recruitment and recognize you as the boss, and take a legal title. If the talk is not good, I will live my own life. With your National Defense Force, you can still bite me?

  President Kabila, in order to expand his influence, wanted to carry out reforms in South Kivu Province.

   There are influences from external forces, but more importantly, the Kinshasa government itself is too bad.

   Without a strong wrist, super political ability, and huge capital support, it is simply impossible to integrate the resources of the Congo with insatiable greed and shamelessness.

  Choga has no delusion to integrate the entire Congo. He now wants to fight all the way to Kinshasa, push his power to the highest point through blood and death, and then see who will be the first to get slapped in the face!
