Zhang Nan has long known this "South African private armed company", and this name not only represents its nature, but also its company name. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the outside, EO seems to be independent, but in fact, industry insiders know that it is one of the 32 subsidiaries of a super-large group called "Strategic Resources Co., Ltd.", which covers mining, air transportation leasing, safety and security...

In fact, EO's full name can understand its actual identity: ExecutiveOutcomes, which translates to "Execution Results" in Chinese!

For whom is it performed?

Of course, the multinationals at the top of the pyramid, all for resources and money!

In the "mercenary business", EO's ostensible customers are internationally recognized legitimate governments, and today, a few years later, the most famous customers are Angola and Sierra Leone, which are in civil war: but in reality its real customers are multinationals that exploit natural resources, such as De Beers Diamond Complex, British Petroleum, Texaco Oil, Gulf-Chevron Oil...

A few years later, for example, in Sierra Leone, the interim government at the time could not afford to hire EO to fight the rebels in the RUFF, but a company called Purpur Energy provided a credit guarantee for the Sierra Leone government, and EO's salary was actually paid by Bypass Energy.

Back then, for every diamond mine EO recaptured in Sierra Leone, Side Energy would receive 60% of its mining rights!

Well, this is the sad situation for small African countries, and the reality is similar to being completely controlled by those multinational corporations, who make the actual combat effectiveness of the armies of these countries inferior to the Mexican gangsters.

In 1995, EO sent 300 people to Sierra Leone to help fight the war, and within a few months, the country's rebels were brought to the table and a peace agreement was signed.

This will make Zhang Nan and Guan Xingquan very eager to see what happens to the strongest military contractors in Africa, because in the future, these people may accept their own employment, and it is more likely that they will become their opponents in Africa!

Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

......

Cape Town at night is beautiful and brightly lit, no different from the usual large, developed cities in Europe and the United States.

When the convoy drove into the city, it was seen that the roadside lights were basically white, and the degree of ethnicity was even higher than that of New York.

Apartheid, blacks were concentrated in some areas of the east, and they had a miserable life, and they had to have a special permit to work in a big city like Cape Town, so they looked at the city's virtue.

Cape Town Hotel & Spa, facing the sea, is one of the most luxurious and extravagant hotels in South Africa.

Check-in, eating, and resting are not much different from staying in a hotel, and the only difference from a big hotel in New York is that all the front desk staff are white.

"Tomorrow I'd like to walk around Cape Town and go north for a day or two. ”

Before returning to his room to rest, Zhang Nan told Paul and Brown about his plan, wanting to get a feel for this strange country and the infamous apartheid system: there is nothing special to be found in a top five-star hotel, but not necessarily outside.

Brown laughed, "You're the boss. By the way, tomorrow would you like to make a trip to the Diamond Building in the Old Town, which is the largest distribution center for loose diamonds in South Africa? ”

"Besides, I'm going to go to the park and see how Lao Tzu became a white man. ”

Speaking of which, there is a sentence that I haven't said: If I come back in 20 years, Zhang Nan will become a black man!

South Africa's wonders are not just wonders from the 80s, but they were still wonderful before Zhang Nan's rebirth!

Most people really don't know.

As for talking to Brown, it may not be appropriate in New York, because although Brown is not a racist, this racism is not just white against other skin colors, it can be true the other way around, but it is rare.

But this is South Africa, and Brown laughed: he knows South Africa and understands why his boss is saying this.

The temperature in Cape Town at the end of July is a bit like spring in China, between 10 and 20 degrees, which is comfortable.

The next morning, Zhang Nan, who had passed the jet lag, had breakfast and walked out of the hotel gate without using a car: there is a beautiful beach park next to the hotel.

It's going to be cold, no one is swimming, and the EOs in casual clothes and don't have a spear don't understand how this Chinese-American guy likes to hang around.

Cape Town is South Africa's second-largest city and its legislative capital, and EOs don't really need to come out with assault rifles to show off their gear when picking people up.

A group of big men, there are no bikini girls on the beach, even if you want to see the scenery, this Cape Town has a good place, choose the beach park.

Zhang Nan: This is lazy!

The EOs didn't understand because they were South African, but Paul could have guessed what the boss was doing.

Because soon Zhang Nan found what he wanted to see, what made his group very unhappy: a sign erected on the side of the road, and a long chair by the green belt.

Not only Zhang Nan saw it, but everyone else also noticed those two things!

"W-fuck, what kind of bullshit is this!"

It was not Zhang Nan who burst into foul language, but Lin Ming, who didn't talk much.

"Perverts" are all foul-mouthed, it's amazing!

Xiang Zhangsheng's English is relatively bad, he didn't pay attention to the words on the notice board just now, and only after listening to the swearing words did he look at the lines, and bumped into it: "The beach is dedicated to whites, and people of color and blacks are not allowed to enter!"

Lounge chairs for white people!"

After recognizing the words, Xiang Zhangsheng glanced at his group, his face was not good-looking, I really didn't know what everyone was thinking.

"Wow, boss, Karimi and I can go in and have fun. ”

The tone is sour, it's Alyosha's big guy: he's a standard white, Slavic race.

But everyone could hear that he was scolding: if he rushed out of an administrator and didn't let Zhang Nan in, the big guy might screw off the other party's head!

Xiang Zhangsheng was stunned for two seconds after recognizing the words just now, and he never thought that there would be such a thing in the world in China!

Even if they know that South Africa is a country that implements a policy of apartheid, there are a few Chinese people who will care about the country more than 10,000 kilometers away......

This will be different, Xiang Zhangsheng feels that he has been greatly insulted, it feels like the movie he saw, the sign at the entrance of the park in the old Shanghai concession "Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter"!

The engineer is a good man, but he is a county robber in his bones, and the anger in his stomach comes up, just like looking for a South African guy to fight alone!

"you......"

Hearing a few words of "county scolding" in the county, Zhang Nan turned his head and saw that Xiang Zhangsheng's face was bruised, and there was a posture of a South African guy who went to the interface and let the other party eat a pig-killing knife!

This person can't drill the tip of the horns, some things can't be joked about, the people of Yan County quarrel only three sentences, and the people who have died in a fight after a few quarrels for so many years are not one or two.

The engineers are all annoyed, but it doesn't matter if you're in the southern hemisphere, let's talk about it after killing pigs with a sharp knife!

Regret?

It's too late to regret it after stabbing it.

"Don't worry, Zhang Sheng, we're white, okay. ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Nan said with a smile: "We are honorary whites, honorary whites who enjoy white treatment." ”

Well, Zhang Nan was laughing, but there was some sarcasm in this laughter.

As soon as he arrived here, after laughing, Zhang Nan said to Paul: "Let those EOs go back, I don't want to see them in Cape Town, I look upset." ”

Paul next to him went to the back and said to EO the team leader, and the other party had no problem: he had a group of bodyguards with him, so it was strange that he could have problems in Cape Town.

With a high salary to rest, they can't ask for it.

Xiang Zhangsheng was interrupted by Zhang Nan's words, and he didn't understand how he became a white man, and said: "Boss, I am from the family of the overlord of Western Chu, a genuine descendant of Yan and Huang, what is this honorary white man?"

"Oh, the Chinese in South Africa began to officially become honorary whites four years ago, but since the seventies have been in South Africa, the Chinese have been able to enjoy white treatment in South Africa, but it was not officially stipulated until '84.

By the way, there are also little devils who can enjoy the treatment of honorary whites. ”

At this point, Zhang Nan didn't want to stand all the time, sat on the "white man-only" bench, and said to the bodyguards: "Okay, guys, honor white people sit on chairs, what should white comrades do, don't be as eye-catching as a door god."

By the way, Brown, I'm going to give you honorary white titles too, don't hang out with those guys. ”

Paul, Randy, and Lynman smiled as they ran to the lawn and sat down.

They don't think in their heads, bosses like Zhang Nan are never racist.

As for the three Alyosha, there is no racial concept in his mind at all, but since the boss said so, plus Paul's actions, he also came over and planned to play cards.

The weather is good, the sea breeze is caressed, and the sun is shining, which is suitable for double buckles.

Guan Xingquan said: "Don't be too idle, change shifts." ”

The bodyguards have their own set of scheduling routines, and Randy, Lin Man, and a Karimi triangle stand still, which is quite fan.

La Buse Brown was added an "honorary title" in a daze, which is considered preferential treatment for the boss.

The boss was sitting, and the bodyguards could only stand, and what Zhang Nan said just now actually meant to let everyone rest.

This is in Cape Town, and you don't have any enemies, so you don't need to be on high alert.

Zhang Nan and Xiang Zhangsheng sat on a bench and took out their bags.

This does not prohibit smoking.

After dividing Xiang Zhangsheng, he said: "The South African government of this meeting divides people into three classes, the first class is whites, Chinese, and little devils. Because of their excellent business ability and work ability, Chinese and RB people are classified as honorary whites.

In fact, a large part of the reason is that South Africa has to rely on trade between the bend and the RB, which will not have Chinese people from the mainland like us in South Africa. ”

When Xiang Zhangsheng heard this, he asked, "Who is the second rank?"

"Indians and people of color other than blacks, such as Malays or Arabs, are based on the fact that they are more capable of working than blacks, and their quality is much higher than that of blacks.

The third estate is blacks, generally referring to African natives, and it is estimated that black Americans come... Hehe, I don't know what kind of treatment black Americans are like when they come to South Africa.

The South African government believes that blacks have a high crime rate, a lot of AIDS, and are lazy, so blacks can't associate with people of the first class, or even with people of the second class. ”

Xiang Zhangsheng thought for a while and said, "It's a bit like the caste system in India. ”

"No, there's a big difference. At least in India, you have to take a foreign passport, and you can be treated like a second-class Kshatriya, regardless of the color of your skin.

Actually, it's not much different from the first level. Tickets can buy first-class seats, and they still belong to the aristocratic class in India.

This kind of apartheid in South Africa is actually more like the Nazi system, which established one's identity by the color of one's skin.

The South African government also has a Population Registration Commission, which is made up of white people to determine whether to approve a request to change their racial identity, by investigating the color of their skin, facial features and the structure of their hair.

Just like "Seventeen Moments in Spring", if there is a pure Aryan sentence in the profile, it will be broken. ”

Xiang Zhangsheng was a little confused, thought about it for a while, and had to say, "Seventeen moments in spring?"

Yes, Zhang Nan forgot that this classic movie and television has not been released in China yet, but it will be either this year or next year.

"A Soviet TV series, filmed, I'll get you a copy when I get back to New York. ”

The topic was far away, and Zhang Nan didn't bother to pull the words back, so he chatted a few more casually.

......

South Africa's apartheid system was, to put it bluntly: to turn the non-whites, who made up the majority of the population, into tools of the white minority.

In the seventies, the white racist regime in South Africa reached its peak and had established South Africa as the only country in Africa that came close to the developed Western world.

It is worth mentioning that although the white South African regime adopted a policy of apartheid against blacks, the overall living conditions of black South Africans were the best and most educated in sub-Saharan Africa.

In the seventies and eighties, many African regimes, such as Amin's Uganda and Bokassa's Central African Empire, treated their blacks more brutally than the white South African regimes.

However, this fact is not based on the "acceptability of apartheid": black South Africans do not want to be compared with blacks in other African countries, and even decades later, many black South Africans still adopt discriminatory and hateful attitudes towards poor black people from countries such as Zimbabwe and Mozambique.

Black South Africans like to compare themselves with the opportunities and privileges enjoyed by white South Africans: In South Africa, blacks are restricted by more than 300 discriminatory laws that stipulate where blacks can live, work, eat, travel, marry, and not enter white-lived towns after dark......

For black South Africans, this is the greatest injustice!

Of course, Zhang Nan knew that after 6 years, the black South Africans would give back the treatment they would receive to the whites!

After six years, it will become that only blacks can be given priority to get promotions and buy stocks at preferential prices......

For the Chinese in South Africa at that time, another strange thing appeared: after fighting, the Chinese became black again in South Africa!

Why?

Because after the end of racist rule in South Africa in 1994, the Chinese were regarded as white and in the same situation as white people, which is miserable!

After fighting, around 08, the South African High Court classified the South African Chinese as "non-native South African blacks", allowing the Chinese to enjoy the same benefits as the blacks, but only to the Chinese in South Africa before 1994.

Previously, Chinese South Africans often lost their work contracts and promotion opportunities because they were classified as "white".

The South African-Chinese later became black again...

Oh, strange South Africa, from whites discriminating against blacks, and then to ......

It's hard to say, you have to eat crabs.
