"Can you take it so cheaply?" Xie Kai was shocked.

He had never talked to Kovarubi and others about rent before.

Not to mention 2 US dollars per mu of land, even if it is 10 US dollars, the price is extremely low, although relatively speaking, the price of grain in this era is also very low, compared with China, the climatic conditions here are much better, and the agricultural tax is less than that in China.

"Yes. At present, the price of grain in the international market is not very high, even according to the output of 400 kilograms per mu, the output of one mu is less than 100 US dollars, and the rent they put forward is too high. In addition, if you don't build water conservancy projects here, even the annual profit will be a loss if you put aside seeds, fertilizers, pesticides and labor. So, when I signed the lease contract, I signed it with them for 50 years. Lu Yang said.

Xie Kai nodded with satisfaction, looking like he was as good as a stream, "Since everyone thinks it's okay, then, let's follow this plan, and tomorrow I will find a way to contact the people of the land tribe here." ”

"As long as the problem of the indigenous tribe is solved, the equipment will be solved as soon as it arrives. The middle-aged man with glasses said excitedly.

"Don't worry, the equipment will arrive at the port of Les Salaam in a few days, and the Tanzania railway department will arrange for us to transport the wagons, the first batch of a total of 50 excavators, along with the operators and maintenance personnel, all of whom are retired active duty soldiers from the engineering army. Xie Kai reassured everyone.

"Boss, what about the rotary tiller and the tractor?" asked another staff member.

"Come with the excavator. So, you don't have to worry about these problems. Xie Kai explained again.

After communicating with everyone for a while, in this African land where there is almost no human civilization and no entertainment, everyone can only brag, and it is impossible to even drink too much.

"You're good enough, there's waiting for you over there. Seeing that Xie Kai was finally done, Liao Dong hurriedly said to Xie Kai, who was releasing water, "Are you really planning to engage in agriculture honestly here?"

"Or else?" Xie Kai asked. "Most of the staff who come here, except for agricultural planting consultants, I plan to recruit from retired soldiers, anyway, many of the retired soldiers are rural residents, and the problem of growing crops is not too big, and it will not make them feel that their work is not good. ”

Hearing Xie Kai say that most of the staff here are retired soldiers, Liao Dong was dumbfounded, "Are you really planning to overthrow their regime?"

"What if the mercenaries have a lot of busy business, and there is a problem with the regime here?" Xie Kai asked Liao Dong.

It's not a bad thing to plan ahead.

There are a lot of staff needed here.

And the industriousness of the Chinese, who will never let the land sit idle here, will soon be able to create a lot of wealth, and in this poor place of Africa, with the instigation of Western conspirators, this will become a fat sheep in the eyes of many African careerists.

Xie Kai can make such a thing happen?

No!

"In the future, all the staff here must be organized and trained according to the domestic militia force, so as to avoid that we have no power to protect ourselves when problems arise in the future. Xie Kai's face was even a little distorted.

Liao Dong could understand his mood.

Overseas, the Chinese have accumulated wealth through hard work, but they are vulnerable to attack.

After all, the Chinese philosophy of life is forbearance!

"Don't worry, they will definitely not shrink their combat effectiveness when the time comes. "Liao Dong's words are not a guarantee," Ibrahim made a deal with the guerrillas here. ”

"Kabila is here?" Xie Kai asked.

Liao Dong shook his head, "I don't know, maybe they think I'm not qualified to sit with them." ”

Xie Kai glanced at Liao Dong and knew that Liao Dong didn't care about it, the current situation was too far from what they planned at the beginning, the Iraqis became the behind-the-scenes bosses of the River Crab Mercenary Group, and Tanzania's Deputy Minister of Defense and the President also had some shares.

"You come with me, in the future, everything in the mercenary group will still be up to you, and the tasks you don't want to be vetoed directly, don't give me face, I will explain this matter to them clearly. Xie Kai said, "We have almost talked about the construction of the mercenary camp, you have to communicate with the engineers and technicians here, how to build the barracks, not only needs to be kept secret in normal times, but also must become a shelter for our staff here in case of danger." ”

Liao Dong nodded.

The two headed towards the headquarters of the camp guards.

Dozens of Chinese, protected by more armed men than they were, not from the Tanzanian army, but from Burundi and members of the Congolese People's Liberation Army operating in the mountains on the border with Tanzania.

There is no way to do this, and the Tanzanian army has only learned a little bit from the Chinese army.

The indigenous tribes here have survived for thousands of years, and the hunting experience accumulated by their ancestors allows these indigenous tribes to sneak into the camp like cheetahs and harm the technicians from China.

"Thanks, you're finally here. Seeing Xie Kai coming, Ibrahim and the others came out of the heavily guarded tent.

Next to Ibrahim and Kovarrubi, there was also a fat black man.

In the darkness where there were only torches, this black fat man even let Xie Kai see only one appearance.

Kabila!

You don't have to think about it to know who this is.

Kovarrubi pulled Xie Kai into the tent, and the tent was also only a foreign oil lamp, which made Xie Kai mistakenly think that he had crossed over.

"Kabila, this is the Shekai we mentioned to you. Kovarubi did not introduce Shekai's identity. "Yes, this is General Kabila, who has always resisted Mobutu's tyranny. ”

The appearance of black people is actually not visible to their age.

At least, Xie Kai didn't think there was anything special about Kabila, except that he was much fatter than the ordinary scrawny African black uncles.

"Hello, General!" Xie Kai greeted the other party directly in English.

He knew that Congo was a French colony, and that Kabila had studied in France, but he still used English.

It's not that he doesn't want to use French, the problem is that he doesn't speak French at all.

"Hello, Comrade Xie Kai! I yearn for great China very much, especially since you have defeated an enemy far stronger than you and overthrown the Nationalist Government that oppressed the people...... We need to learn from you......" Kabila actually greeted Xie Kai in fluent English.

And the praise for China in the mouth is not hidden at all.

"General Kabila is very keen to learn guerrilla warfare from China, and your country's **** 'On Guerrilla Warfare' is a work that General Kabila has been studying and researching...... "Kovarrubi explained.

This product definitely has a lot of personal relationship with Kabila.

Even if it has been established that Kabila has the support of the Tanzanian military and even the government behind him, there is now more reason to believe it.

"General, guerrilla warfare is indeed the first initiative in our country, and it is only by guerrilla warfare that our new China can be established...... "Xie Kai did not drag his feet in the slightest.

"Thanks, I don't think we'll talk about this for the time being, let's get down to business. Ibrahim interrupted the non-nutritious greetings between Xie Kai and Kabila, "Talking about business is more important!"

Is this an Iraqi posed by Jews?

Or is it of Jewish descent?

Otherwise, how can you be so greedy?

Shekai somewhat despised Ibrahim, where did he put their Allah?

"General, if you want to talk about the mercenary business, you can talk directly to the head of the River Crab Mercenary Regiment, Colonel Liao Dong. Xie Kai did not hesitate to promote Liao Dong to the rank of colonel, "As for the rest, I don't think I can make much decisions." ”

"Comrade Xie Kai, China has always been a country in the whole of Africa. My motherland is being ravaged by Mobuto's brutal natives, and our just cause, I hope we can get your support......" Hearing Xie Kai pluck himself out, Kabila was anxious.

Compared with any other country in Africa, China is not a little bit stronger.

With support from China, his rebels were better off in the future.

Funds are not needed, but weapons and equipment or something, can they be lacking?

A large part of the light weapons used in the African war are made in China.

"General, I am very supportive of your righteous cause, but my personal ability is limited...... Of course, the meeting is fate, and I can personally provide $50,000 for your overthrow of the brutal Mobutu. "Are you kidding, to get involved in the internal affairs of Africa?

If you don't get killed by Zheng Yucheng when you go back, you have to be left with only half a life by Long Yaohua.

For a moment, Kabila looked at Ibrahim and Kovarubi, which was different from what had been discussed before.

"Thanks, let's talk about cooperation. General Kabila wants his army to be properly trained...... In the meantime, hopefully our mercenaries can help relieve them of some of the pressure. "Kovarrubi had spoken to Shekai about this before.

Xie Kai still pushed out Liao Dong, "He is in charge of combat and training, the two of you have made it very clear before, you can introduce the business and share the profits, but you must not interfere in the actions and decisions of the mercenaries." ”

Speaking of this, Xie Kai's face became serious.

They shouldn't have excluded Liao Dong from the circle of power.

"Provide training, there is no problem, we can provide far more rigorous training than the average army in our country, teach your fighters how to fight without weapons and equipment...... At the same time, we can also provide mercenaries to directly undertake combat missions, but the problem of funding ...... "Liao Dong knew that Xie Kai was angry with him.

Isn't it a sedan chair that everyone carries?

Xie Kai gave him face, and he helped Xie Kai ask for money.

Calabi didn't seem to mind at all, and walked straight to the corner of the tent and opened an ammo box directly.

The moment the lid of the box was lifted, the golden light reflected from the inside of the box directly made Xie Kai's hara flow out.

A box full of gold!

"All of this is pure gold smelted according to international standards, a total of 500 kilograms! Comrade Xie Kai, this is our sincerity. Kabila didn't talk nonsense, "Of which, a hundred kilograms, belongs to us as a gift for your meeting." ”

Hearing that a hundred kilograms of gold belonged to him, Xie Kai suddenly felt a little dry in his throat.

One hundred kilograms!

According to the current international gold price, even if it is not in good condition, it is equivalent to 30 yuan a gram and 100 kilograms of soft girl currency, which is 3 million, and the US dollar will have to exceed 1 million.

This 100 kilograms of gold was even more impactful than the check Ibrahim had given to Shekai at the beginning.

"General, the so-called merit is not punished. If you have any requirements, tell me first, if I can do it, it will not be too much of a problem. Xie Kai licked his dry lips and spoke.

Anyone, in the face of the impact of a hundred kilograms of gold, is estimated to have little resistance.

"We need weapons and equipment!" There are no outsiders here, Kabila spoke directly, "The remaining 400 kilograms of gold are all weapons and equipment purchases provided by us!"

"General, in Africa, there are a lot of arms dealers, and the weapons and equipment they can provide are better than what I can provide, both in terms of quantity and performance......" Xie Kai was puzzled.

Gold, that's the currency of the whole world.

Or absolute hard currency.

Diamonds do not have much market for China now, and they are not easy to realize.

"Those arms dealers are either supported by the U.S. or European governments, or by the Soviets, and the Soviets are too expensive. Kabila doesn't hide it, either, "And Mobutu is a puppet regime supported by the U.S. government." ”

"What equipment do you need—tanks, planes, artillery, or armored vehicles?" Xie Kai asked.

If it's one of these things, I really don't know how to get it here.

It is impossible for the state not to perceive it.

"No, we need the weapons and equipment you designed for the River Crab Mercenary Regiment. Whether it is individual anti-armor missiles, anti-aircraft missiles, or pickup trucks equipped with heavy machine guns, etc., we need them. We're fighting guerrilla warfare right now, and we have to be very mobile...... "and if there's not enough gold, we can provide more, including diamonds......

These rebels are really rich.

The legend that Kabila's guerrillas constantly crossed Lake Tanganyika to rob Mobutu's gold mines in the eastern region of Zaire should be true.

Xie Kai was moved.

If you can get a few tons of gold a year, it will be terrible.

The problem is that the armed pickup thing isn't worth much.

"There is no problem in providing you with the guerrilla weapons you need. But General, if you pay for gold and diamonds, it's hard to operate, and we have to cash it out

......" Xie Kai revealed the essence of a profiteer.

"We can provide 30% of the cost of realization. That is, the price is calculated according to 70% of the international gold price...... "Kabila did not hesitate at all.

Ibrahim and Kovarrubi were silent.

Perhaps, that's what they talked about before.

"Your gold, the smelting conditions are not too good...... Xie Kai was not satisfied.

If there is a monetization channel, they will not look for themselves, and they will directly hit themselves with gold.

He's gambling, betting that the other party has no other channel, and once that's the case, the profit will be high.
