Kinshasa, a city with a short history, is almost always a place filled with the smell of gunpowder.
The Second Congo War from 1998 to 2004 was the largest war in modern African history. It involved 9 African countries and 20 armed forces, causing a total of more than 1 million people to be forced into exile and migrate to surrounding countries in large numbers. It is known as "Africa's World War".
Although the 2003 armistice marked the official end of the war, conflict continues throughout the country, with fierce armed conflict still occurring in the east. Even in 2004, when the war ended, at least 1,000 people died every day due to military conflicts, insufficient social security or food shortages. Ongoing local conflicts have driven large numbers of people into exile.
From 1996 to the present, the two Congo wars, plus the subsequent Lake Kiev crisis, have killed at least 5.5 million people, making it the deadliest war since World War II.
There are still many armed forces in eastern Congo, and they have no fixed stance at all. Today they joined forces with this one to fight another one, but a few days later they changed their stance and started fighting with the friend from the day before yesterday. Anyway, profit is the most important thing, and business opportunities are much more beneficial than anything else. As the capital, Kinshasa is also a place where various mercenaries gather.
The whole of Kinshasa, which looks as dilapidated as Lin Rui¡¯s small county town in his hometown, feels earthy yellow everywhere. Lin Rui was not familiar with this place, and his days as a mercenary were not too long. But Crazy Horse and Snake Eyes, two old fritters, are frequent visitors to this place. Crazy Horse can even speak a few words to the locals in half-baked Lingala.
After gesticulating with a local and saying a few words, Crazy Horse turned his head and said, "Captain, I think we need to meet someone."
"Who?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Boka, a small local warlord. If we want to recover the stolen viruses, we need more information. Although this Boka is average in the local area, he is very shrewd. It is definitely right to ask him for information. ." Crazy Horse turned around and said.
"Is this person reliable?" Lincoln frowned.
"Everyone who thought he was reliable is dead now." Snake Eyes mocked, "Besides, only people with brain problems would trust an African warlord. Pocahontas is a mercenary, but as a local snake, he does have Intelligence channels.¡±
"Since he is unreliable, why are we still looking for him?" Yelena frowned, "If we can determine the location of Yamashita Yoshitaka, we can also find the virus."
"That's right, but the difference lies in whether we can escape unscathed after finding the virus." Lin Rui said slowly, "The mission is very important, and we can also find them, but we don't fight unprepared battles. Only we have the control I will only order action after knowing their number and armed status. I am still the leader, so I cannot let you follow me and die."
"But looking for this Polka to learn about the situation will bring unexpected risks. We don't know his relationship with the secret society. Maybe after we found him, he went ahead and reported to the people in the secret society. In this case, we It will be even more difficult to deal with the secret society." Wang Haoze frowned.
"But we have to try." Jiang An shook his head and said, "We can currently determine the location of this group, but if we want the operation to be successful, we must have more intelligence support. Crazy Horse's idea is a good idea."
"Then let's go find this guy and hope he can give us some information." Lin Rui shrugged.
"Hey, you guys!" A black man shouted to Lin Rui and the others. He looked like a local military policeman. Several armed soldiers walked toward Lin Rui and the others, "Check!" Another person shouted.
Crazy Horse turned around and said coldly, "Check?"
These military policemen were exhausted at that time. They were far away just now, and they only saw Lin Rui and Wang Haoze sitting in the car. Two Asians, and neither was armed. Only then did they chirp over and ask for an inspection. They said it was an inspection, but in fact they were just taking the opportunity to see if there was anything to be gained from them. They searched their luggage under the guise of inspection, and then stuffed whatever they saw into their pockets. This is the only way these guys can blackmail foreigners.
However, when they took a closer look, they secretly exclaimed that they were unlucky. This group of people was clearly mercenaries. They all looked fierce, and the back of the pickup truck they were riding in was full of various light and heavy weapons, which made the local black military police immediately soften.
The leading black man waved his hands awkwardly, then turned around, pretending that he had never seen these people before.
"Ignore them, they are just freeloaders. They are nothing in this place." Crazy Horse turned around and said, "Not even the local warlord leader can do anything to the foreign mercenaries, let alone a few of them. .I guess I just saw youAs a person, the Chinese have always been their favorite targets for blackmail. "
"Damn it." Wang Haoze was stunned. "What's wrong with the Chinese? They still single out Chinese people to bully?"
Snake Eyes shook his head and said, "These guys are a bit mean. The more polite you are to them, the more they like to blackmail you. They have guns and cannons, and most Chinese are not very willing to resist when faced with this kind of situation, so they like to bully you." Chinese. The irony is that many of the buildings in this place were built with Chinese aid.¡±
Crazy Horse turned to the black men and shouted, "Come here, you guys!"
The black men looked at each other, then hesitated and walked over slowly.
¡°Hurry up, I!¡± Crazy Horse said with a stern look on his face, holding an automatic rifle in his hand. The black men looked at him and even stood aside in fear.
"Take me to find Pocahontas." Crazy Horse gestured, "Does Colonel Pocahontas know?" A black man nodded hesitantly. Crazy Horse took a bill out of his pocket, waved it in front of his eyes, and stuffed it into the black man's coat pocket. The black man immediately nodded and bowed, and took the initiative to lead them away.
"Damn, I know that good people can be bullied by others." Wang Haoze shook his head.
"Stop talking nonsense and follow him in the car." Lin Rui patted him on the shoulder and followed the black military policeman to a small camp. The black man whispered something to the guard, and then the guard entered.
Soon after, a black man came out. Although he was wearing a military uniform, his chest was open, revealing his dark skin. After seeing Crazy Horse, he immediately walked over to him with a smile and hugged him, "Hey, House, my friend. We haven't seen each other for a while, and I didn't expect you to be alive."
Crazy Horse also jumped out of the car, "Even if I am going to die, I will never die in Africa. How are you doing, Colonel?"
"It's still the same. But without you, it seems a little more relaxed here." Colonel Poca smiled heartily, revealing two rows of frighteningly white teeth. But to Lin Rui, his smile always looked a bit cunning.
