Because there are two countries called Congo in Africa. These two countries are on the African continent, and the two countries are separated by the Congo River. One is called the "Democratic Republic of the Congo" and the other is called the "Republic of the Congo". The Democratic Republic of the Congo It is the so-called "Kinshasa Congo", and the Republic of Congo is the so-called "Congo-Brazzaville".
The reason why the Democratic Republic of the Congo is called the Democratic Republic of the Congo is because the capital of this country is called Kinshasa, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo is called Congo-Brazzaville because the capital is called Brazzaville. Therefore, in order to distinguish the two countries, we add after the country. The name of the capital was used as a distinction.
In the 13th century, these two countries belonged to the same kingdom, called the Kingdom of Congo. At that time, the Kingdom of Congo was a large country in Africa and was extremely influential in Africa.
By the 17th century, due to the discovery of the New World and the arrival of colonists, Western countries came to Africa and saw the "Congo Basin", the largest basin in the world, and wanted to make it their own territory.
So in the end, the Congo and the northwest territories were occupied by France, and the southwest territories were occupied by Belgium. It was not until the 1960s that the national independence war broke out in Africa. Many colonial people rose up to resist and then drove away the colonists. nation.
As a result, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo became independent from each other during this independence war movement. However, after independence, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo did not merge into one country because the regimes of both parties did not want to let it go and wanted to rule the entire country. Congo, so there are two Congos.
"The Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Kivu Province." Mr. K nodded.
"As expected." Silver Wolf sighed with a wry smile.
In fact, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is a very chaotic region, with wars all year round. The Second Congo War swept across Central Africa from 1998 to 2002. It was called "Africa's World War" and involved 8 countries to varying degrees. During this period, more than 20 armed groups fought, resulting in nearly 4 million deaths and 16 million deaths. People are displaced.
Although the situation has improved to this day, in fact there are still various chaotic situations in various regions.
North and South Kivu are located in the border zone between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda, Rwanda and other countries. A group of foreign defectors and local militia rebels have long been active in the area. The "m23 local", "fdlr Rwanda" and "adf Uganda" seen in the news "They all belong to this type of rebel armed forces and are a threat to the security of the region.
In fact, in February 2013, 11 regional countries including Congo, Rwanda, and Ukraine signed the "Framework Document for Peace, Security and Cooperation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Great Lakes Region." There are still many illegal armed activities in the eastern region.
Various conflicts occur one after another, and even the peacekeeping forces cannot control the situation there.
"Such a chaotic place is indeed a good place for them to hide." Lin Rui also nodded.
¡°According to our intelligence, Professor Robertson and his research team are under the protection of a warlord armed in South Kivu.
In fact, this warlord force is very likely to be a warlord force secretly funded and supported by the Orumi Federation. Their leader is named Elano, who has a Ugandan rebel background and has hundreds of armed men. "Mr. K replied.
"So, if we want to capture Professor Robertson from the local armed forces, it is best if he is alive." Lin Rui looked at Mr. K and said.
"Yes, and I hope you will leave as soon as possible, because time waits for no one. While we can still grasp his whereabouts, the chance of arrest may only be this one. If we lose this opportunity, let this Professor Robertson escape , if you go to the Orumi Federation, things will become very difficult." Mr. K nodded.
Lin Rui nodded, "We can set off the day after tomorrow until we need your intelligence support. Operating in a chaotic area like the Democratic Republic of the Congo, without accurate intelligence or support, we simply cannot do it."
¡°No problem, we will send a local intelligence agent to contact you. He will provide you with everything you need to know.
¡°And he is not a member of the CIA. He is our outside informant and can act with you. "Mr. K nodded.
Lin Rui stood up and said to the silver wolf Michelle beside him, "I will make arrangements myself. I will have one day to prepare tomorrow and set off the day after tomorrow."
Silver Wolf Michelle was silent for a moment and said, "Be careful."
Lin Rui strode out of the room. Mr. K turned to look at Silver Wolf and said, "You seem to be uneasy about this mission."
"o2, they are the best team I have. I trust them completely. It's not them that worries me, it's them.It¡¯s about whether your information is timely and accurate. "Yin Lang said calmly.
Mr. K smiled and said, "The person who assisted them this time is Riback."
Silver Wolf Michelle was slightly moved, "Businessman, it's him?"
"Do you still have any doubts now? Liebeck is a former CIA employee, codenamed Businessman. One of the most reliable people I have ever met. With his ability, I think he can assist you very well." Mr. K smiled nodded.
A day later, after Lin Rui and his people arrived at a small airport in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, they encountered trouble again when exiting customs. This is almost a common practice. You have to pay money to pass the border inspection, otherwise they will take various measures to make things difficult for you.
At the critical moment, the person picking up the plane appeared and two black men came in to coordinate.
Corruption is rampant in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and taking bribes seems to be an open behavior. The inspector opened the bag of sausages, revealing US dollar cash, and reached out to grab it, almost snatching 10 US dollars from his hand.
? Here, making things difficult for foreigners is a common practice. But after grabbing the heads of these mercenaries, how can people like Sausage just let it go? Sausage grabbed the black man's wrist and nearly broke it on the spot.
A black man carrying a long gun came over and started chattering, and something was about to happen. At the critical moment, a driver and translator who came to pick up the plane went out to negotiate, but nothing happened in the end.
After that, we met someone from the Immigration Bureau who asked us to hand over our passports. Apparently asking for money again. The translator went out, shook hands with one of the buddies and hugged us. It turned out that the two were acquaintances. Upon seeing this, the immigration official returned our passports and let us go.
The driver who picked up the plane explained, ¡°Here, officials ask for bribes everywhere, so officials in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are very popular and rich!¡±
"I'm afraid they don't know where my money comes from. My money is full of blood. If you want it, just exchange it for blood." Sausage said coldly.
"Don't be so serious. Sometimes spending a little money can solve a lot of unnecessary troubles." The black driver turned his head and said, "Let me introduce, my name is Ribek, businessman Ribek."
