Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Sierra Leone is located in West Africa, which was once a source of supply for European slaves and is now one of the poorest countries in the world.  Whether it is purchasing power, health and longevity, or educational level, it ranks among the lowest in the world. Construction is seriously insufficient, and most economic activities collapsed due to the civil war.

    However, after the war, a large amount of foreign aid poured in to help Sierra Leone rebuild.  The boat Lin Rui and others were traveling on was a construction aid ship, and they traveled smoothly.  No one would have thought that a group of mercenaries had now become a group of workers.  And they all hold formal documents, so there is no need to worry even if they are inspected.

    Diamonds are good things, but not all good things can bring good luck.  An 11-year war broke out in the country over control of diamond mines.  Before the war, Sierra Leone had a well-known title - "Little Paris in West Africa".  It has regressed from a resort town to a country with poor infrastructure today.

    During the war, a large number of rural people flocked to the city. After the war, most people were unwilling to return to their destroyed hometowns and stayed in the capital Freetown in large numbers.  Disabled people affected by the war live on the streets, begging for a living; young people have nothing to do and make ends meet by doing small businesses or exchanging US dollars.  In the Human Development Index ranking released by the United Nations Development Program, Sierra Leone ranks tenth from the bottom.

    Now, 13 years have passed since the end of the civil war, but on the streets of Fritton, you can still see the charred walls and windows full of bullet holes that were damaged by the war.  The people who once lived in those houses may have never seen the beauty of diamonds in their lives, but they have suffered enough from diamonds.  This is Sierra Leone¡ªthe land of blood diamonds.  This was also the place where mercenary activities were most rampant in Africa.

    When leaving the customs, Lin Rui and others were stopped, and the inspection personnel kept flipping through their belongings.  Long Zhengwu was familiar with this set of tricks. Handing over a banknote solved all the troubles.

    "Otherwise, these people will keep investigating and deliberately delay your time. In fact, they just want benefits." Long Zhengwu smiled.

    They went to the slums.  As we drove along, we saw low and dilapidated straw shops, which mainly sold clothing, bread, bottled water, fruits and other daily necessities.  The streets were noisy, many people were not wearing tops, including a few women, the roads were full of potholes, and many of the products were fake.

    The road becomes narrower as you go deeper, and there is only enough space for a car. Looking at the villages passing by at this time, most of them are made of thatched houses. People's mental state also becomes weak, and they are lying or sitting.  There are very few people walking around, and the voices saying hello are also weak. It seems that this place is already one of the poorest places in their country.

    Further forward, we reached the village where the chief lived. The black panther Gulei came forward to invite the chief and some elders to their meeting hall. The so-called meeting hall was a large tent with a fur roof and some very primitive long robes.  stool.  Next 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 a secret base of the US military." Sergey whispered.

    "You'll find out later." Black Panther Gulei said calmly.  "This guy will be useful to us."

    Soon the chief came, and he was surprised when he saw the black panther Gulei.  Then he walked up quickly and saluted Black Panther Gulei, his attitude was almost pious.

    Black Panther Gulei nodded and said a few words to him.  After the two people communicated 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 saved him several times during the war in Sierra Leone. He used to be a member of the government army and has many connections. It is very appropriate to find him to understand the situation." Black Panther Gulei said calmly.

    "Is he reliable? After all, you haven't seen each other for such a long time." Lin Rui frowned.

    "I trust him very much. And my people will keep an eye on him secretly. If he makes any move, we will get rid of him immediately." Black Panther Gulei said calmly, "Now we need further intelligence and weapons and equipment, and we also need someone who can  A place to hide temporarily. These chiefs can give it to us."

    "I hope so." Long Zhengwu nodded and said, "We successfully avoided Lannis's eyes this time. It's best not to expose our whereabouts so quickly. Otherwise, they will easily think of what we are planning to do next."

    "Can he help us get weapons?" Lin Rui frowned, "This time we enter the country as workers, and we don't even have weapons."

    ¡°In this place, weapons are never a problem, but are used to solve problems.¡± Gu Lei said with a smile.

    Soon the chief came back and whispered a few words to Black Panther Gulei.

    Gu Lei nodded and said, "He has?All the manpower has been arranged, and the news will be received within two days.  "

    "A chief is so effective?" Sergey said in astonishment.

    "Of course, whoever wants to do anything on this land must obtain the consent of the chief. To build a new base for the US military, it needs manpower, materials, and vehicle access. They will not do anything without saying hello to the local chief in advance.  It can't be done. To the locals, the president is not as big as the chief." Long Zhengwu said with a smile.

    Gu Lei nodded, "When the US military builds bases, it will somewhat alarm the surrounding locals. It is very easy for the chief to collect information in this regard. In addition, he presided over the destruction of weapons after the war, and his private collection can be used to arm weapons."  A group.¡±

    The African chief took them to the hut at the back. When he opened the door, there were bundles of guns tied with straw.  Some were stained with rust, while others were still coated with grease and had not been opened.  None of them are advanced weapons, most of them are cheap and practical AK-series rifles.  And plenty of bullets.

    Park Dong-sang shook his head and said, "If I want to destroy a base, this is not what I want."

    "I know what you need, come here." Gulei took him to another place, lifted the oilcloth, and there were cannonballs underneath.  "If you dismantle 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's an underwater blast, the amount of black ladder explosives required is too large and difficult to carry."

    Park Dong-sang nodded, "For underwater blasting, if we can get China's Hesar PW30 high-power explosive, or the Israeli-developed Krondo fourth-generation underwater explosive, it should have better results."

    "Okay, let me think of a solution. 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 and said.

    Park Dongxiang nodded, "In addition, I also need a delayed detonation device and a signal receiver."
