From arms dealer to king of war

Qiao Jia's kindness made the poor workers feel slightly relieved, but it did not make them feel completely safe.

A mine boss and a group of miners are naturally opposed to each other in terms of status, especially in this lawless forest.

The black man who was jumping up and down calmed down after Qiao Jia said he would provide medical treatment and food. He didn't believe it either, but he had no choice. After all, it was difficult for a person to walk out of the jungle alone, so he wanted to stay and take a look. Maybe Fortune really favors the poor.

Qiao Jia had no time to comfort these poor workers. He waved to Dorian and said: "I find it hard to hear that guy talking. Go and talk to that guy and find out about the previous situation here.

From a glance, we can tell that this guy has not been here long. Ask him about the situation. Maybe he can be useful to us. "

Dorian is the guy in the team who is most keen on dealing with people. After receiving the order, he walked over to the black buddy, pulled him aside and started chatting with words and gestures.

Kaman's inference on the camp's replenishment time was just a guess, and Dorian needed to get an accurate answer from this guy.

And the boss obviously wants to keep the gold mine running seamlessly. This guy is the only one among the workers who still has a little bit of thinking and resistance, and he seems to be quite trusted by the workers.

It is indeed worth spending some effort to win over such a person. This will make it easier for him to convey the boss's ideas to the workers. The language barrier is really fucked up.

Qiao Jia saw that most of the workers were wearing clothes. He pressed the communicator and said: "The snipers can come over. The owl will recharge the drone and send the drone to the upper reaches of the river to check the situation before dawn.

Team C set up a sentry near the river bank. Team B found a few people to clean up the bodies in the barracks. Then we rested where we were. We'll talk about anything at dawn tomorrow. "

Qiao Jia said he was resting on the spot, but in fact everyone just took turns squinting for about an hour.

After Team B's Sanderson and the others finished disposing of the body, it was almost daylight.

Antar used a drone to conduct reconnaissance on the upper reaches of the river before dawn, and after confirming that there were no enemies, he worked with Nice to make a breakfast.

When the girl from Nice set out, she plundered several barrels of noodles from Lao Niu and took them into the jungle. This time she finally got a chance to show off her skills.

Put salt, chicken essence and soy sauce in the lunch box, then boil the noodles, take out the noodles and pour the soup into the lunch box, stir it, and you will have a good bowl of jungle food.

Frankly speaking, Qiao Jia felt that the taste was just average. Without lard and shallots, the aroma was reduced by more than half. However, facing the attentive Nice, he just couldn't say a bad word.

Xi Li ate a big bowl of food while snoring, and when he saw Nice taking the lunch box that was cleaner than a dog licking and leaving happily, Qiao Jia felt as if he had lost something, and then gained something again. That feeling was very It's strange, but there is an inexplicable feeling of joy.

Sitting on a tree stump, Qiao Jia touched Dorian next to him and said, "Do you think Nice is a little strange?"

Dorian, who was holding the lunch box, glanced back and forth between the boss and Nice, then nodded seriously and said: "I think so too, the devil bird must have been distracted when he was making noodles for you, and he was looking at our noodles. They are all rotten, only your noodles are one by one.

Boss, I think Devil Bird is biased against you..."

Dorian's joking reminder made Qiao Jia stunned for a moment, then he shook his head and said with a smile: "You have to watch your mouth, otherwise you will be unlucky one day."

Dorian saw that his boss did not face the problem head-on. He smacked his lips and did not continue to express his opinion on this issue.

This is the boss's private life, and based on Dorian's observation, it will only be a matter of time before the boss falls into Nice's arms.

We are all our own people, how easy it is to digest internally. After all, if the boss finds a woman from outside to be the boss's wife, everyone will feel awkward.

Moreover, Nice is Liberia's MSL. They don't seem to object to men finding more women. This is a treatment that men around the world dream of.

Of course, the premise is that you can afford it and treat them fairly.

But this is not a problem that Dorian has to consider. As long as Nice is the queen and the boss has other women, it doesn't matter to this team at all. This is what Carman hinted. As the person with the lowest status in the team, Dorian naturally Do as you are told.

Qiao Jia didn't notice Dorian's expression. After Dorian sucked the rotten noodles into his stomach like a storm, he said, "What happened to that guy last night?"

After hearing this, Dorian put down his lunch box and thought for a while and said: "That guy's name is Salah. He is from Congo. His hometown is in Yakoma. He was transported from a city called 'Bondo' three months ago." A shipment of second-hand mining machines went to Iacoma, but were robbed on the way.

The machine was lost and he was sent here to work as a laborer.

He said that people died here almost every day. There were close to 300 people here when he came, but now there are only more than 230 people left.

The leader of the anti-government army named Boykin would send a new batch of workers every month. This cycle has been going on for nearly a year. "

As he spoke, Dorian noticed that the boss's expression became a little ugly. He smiled and said, "Actually, I don't think the problem is big...

Salah himself was a hawker who resold second-hand mining machinery. He said that this place had just entered a period of high productivity, because the machines had just arrived when he came, and some of them were still his.

It was he who helped debug and get all the machines running, which made the workers' work a little easier and allowed him to eat more. "

After Dorian finished speaking, he saw a smile on Qiao Jia's face, so he organized a little and said: "The dragon lizard is right, the supplies here are once every ten days, and sometimes they are one or two days late. , but it will definitely not exceed 12 days. The day after tomorrow should be the time when those delivering supplies arrive.

Every time they come, there is a large group of people, 40 of whom come to change shifts with the security here, and the rest are coolies they captured from outside.

The security guards who are replaced will bring the gold, and then supervise those who are captured, let them carry the fuel and food needed for the generator, go back and forth in the jungle several times to complete the supplies to the camp, and then take off their clothes as slave. "

Qiao Jia pondered for a moment and said, "Why do I think that Salah was cheated?"

Dorian shrugged his shoulders and said: "I think so too, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence that someone came to him to order a batch of second-hand mining machines, and he was intercepted just as he was about to deliver the goods.

He feels the same way himself...

The branch of the Belgian Consolidated Mining Group in ‘Iakoma’ ordered second-hand machines from him.

Because the company was not small, he only paid a 10% deposit after signing the contract. As a result, on the way to deliver the goods, he met the leader of the anti-government armed forces named Boykin, and he was sent to the place together with the machine. here. "

Qiao Jia nodded after hearing this, murmured the name of 'Belgian United Mining Company', and then said with a smile: "Finally, a powerful leader has emerged, otherwise I'm worried that I will fall out of that Boykin's I can’t get enough compensation.”

Dorian nodded and said: "This company's business is also mining gold, and it is said that the scale is not small. Otherwise, no matter how stupid Salah is, he will not help them buy second-hand machines with only a 10% deposit." .

If it is indeed proven that the situation here is related to them, then it is natural to 'demand' compensation. "

Qiao Jia looked at the huge mine pit in the distance. He grinned and said, "My mine has been mined in vain by them for a year. Is it not too much to ask for 10 million yuan in compensation?"

Dorian was choked for a moment, but thinking about the miserable situation of those workers, he nodded decisively and said: "It's not too much. As long as it is confirmed that they did it, it is not too much to ask for twice as much. We should let them feel it too." A laborer’s life!”

Just as Qiao Jia was about to nod in agreement, he heard the roar of a helicopter in the distance.

Then the people in the camp saw three large Mi-8 Hippo helicopters flying nearby.

Dorian ran to his backpack, took out a yellow smoke bomb and threw it on the ground. Then several Mi-8s looking for a location quickly came over and stopped one by one in the open space around the mine.

In the first Hippopotamus, sat Gemma Alexander and her team of doctors. Father Gamore actually came with a middle-aged nurse, and with them came a large number of medicines and medical equipment. .

Inside the second hippopotamus, sat the cooks trained by Lao Niu. The six nimble little blacks started pouring things out from the inside as soon as the helicopter landed. Huge shovels and iron pots were standard equipment.

The third Hippopotamus contained the fuel needed for the helicopter, and rocket nests were mounted on both sides. There were also two machine guns set up in the cabin.

Watching the three old men at the base get off the plane, Qiao Jia smiled and went up to them and hugged them. Then he looked at the oldest 'Cobra' and said, "I don't know if it's my imagination, why do I think you're flying?" Is it more stable than 'Fat Goose'?"

As he spoke, Qiao Jia looked at 'Cobra' with a smile on his face, and he said sneakily: "Don't tell 'Fat Goose', because he has always told me that he is the real ace."

'Cobra' laughed after hearing this, threw the helmet to Qiao Jia in a happy mood, and said: "'Fat Goose' always likes to brag, but it doesn't matter, old men are like this.

I heard that you are going to fight the anti-government forces in the Congo. You are the boss and you should not always treat yourself as a soldier. This time you come with me and I will let you feel the feeling of real air combat. "

Qiao Jia shook his head decisively after hearing this. He had no problem flying a plane by himself, but he couldn't do it if he was asked to fly a plane to fight. Flying during a war would make him feel insecure.

The most threatening job in the world is that of pilots, because if something goes wrong, it will be difficult for them to even save themselves.

Moreover, on the helicopter, Qiao Jia's strengths were not brought out at all. Not only was he awkward, but it also reduced the time for him to get along with his companions.

Decisively rejecting the 'Cobra''s request, Qiao Jia looked at the weapon racks installed on both sides of the Mi-8 he drove in. Two B-8 rocket nests were installed on the left and right.

4 such rocket nests are 80 rounds of 80mm rockets.

This kind of firepower is already the high-end power of Afika, not to mention the 12.7mm machine gun on the belly of the aircraft, and the anti-tank missile pylon installed on the outermost side of the pylon. There are four anti-tank missiles on the left and right. I don’t know about that Boy. Does Kim have any tanks for him to fight?

Not to mention using these things for fighting, even if they were changed into coins and sprinkled on the enemy's camp, they would be drowned.

Looking at the extremely interested 'Cobra', Qiao Jia rubbed his nose and said: "Actually, there is no need to be so exaggerated. Let's go and take a look first. Maybe that guy will surrender directly because I see how handsome I am?

If you can't use a big killer weapon, don't use it, it will harm Tianhe..."
