509 Potential Key Clients and Playing with Bumiputera (22/100)
"Are you really going to let us help Kabila seize power?" Liao Dong asked Xie Kai.
Xie Kai's methods were a little despicable, and Liao Dong couldn't accept them for a while.
"Even if we don't help, he can overthrow Mobutu's regime. Mobutu was originally a puppet supported by the CIA, but now the whole country is complaining, and countless people want to overthrow him, but it doesn't work out...... Kabila has a lot of support behind him, as long as he waits for the opportunity...... "These days, Xie Kai knows more about the situation in Zaire.
"They have more than 100,000 troops in the country. Liao Dong felt that Xie Kai was completely crazy.
For the sake of money, do not compromise means.
"Where do you think Kabila got so much gold? There are a lot of gold mines in eastern Zaire...... Xie Kai said. Otherwise, Kabila would not have agreed to settle at 50% of the international gold price. Even, the gold in his hands is definitely more than 15 tons. ”
Liao Dong was dumbfounded.
He didn't know how Xie Kai judged it.
But Xie Kai dared to do this, and it was faster than the original plan, and he directly sold fighters and some heavy equipment to Kabila as soon as he came up, which was definitely not taken for granted.
"As long as you help him train two or three thousand elites, so that he can capture Lubumbashi, he will have a chance to hold on......"
"What did you talk to him about that night?" the corners of Liao Dong's mouth moved.
"Otherwise, do you think Kabila will purchase our fighters and heavy equipment?" Xie Kai also sighed, "It's not easy to sell some weapons and equipment." That guy has a lot of gold in his hands, and there are more diamonds, I want these things, grab them directly, it's easy to ruin my reputation, and no one will cooperate with us in the future......"
What else can Liao Dong say?
Xie Kai's greed exceeded his imagination.
In order to sell weapons and equipment, he actually provided the other party with a detailed plan for overthrowing the government.
"Can there be so many people in Kabila?" Liao Dong was silent for a while, and saw Xie Kai walking towards the armored car in the camp and followed.
Lao Maozi's armored car has a rough and domineering appearance, and the interior is much better than the previous narrow space.
Now there are fewer conflicts with the tribes, and there are not too many people to protect them.
The mercenaries have already begun training Kabila's soldiers who remain here. It is not to train them directly to fight, but to start with the most basic cohort training, as in the domestic recruit battalions.
The discipline of blacks is just too poor.
"He didn't, but the Tutsi in Rwanda did. Xie Kai said.
"Why are you messing with them again?" Liao Dong felt that he couldn't chat with Xie Kai.
Every time I say something, it seems that something more complicated will come out.
"It's not that we're getting together now, it's that Kabila was with the Rwandan Tutsi armed forces before Uganda. At the time of the overthrow of Amin in Uganda, Rwandan Tutsi fighters accounted for a large proportion. Of the 16,000 Museveni troops that entered the capital, 4,000 were Rwandan Tutsis......" Xie Kai said with a wry smile. ”
"......" Liao Dong directly started the armored car.
The chaos in Africa, without contact, is simply unimaginable.
If it weren't for Kabila, Xie Kai wouldn't have known about it.
Why did Kabila help Museveni fight, and did he bring his team with him, just to gain Uganda's support?
However, Uganda itself is unable to produce weapons and equipment, and the Western-led international community is unwilling to lose its interests, accusing Museveni of all kinds of black. So there is not much that the Ugandan government can support.
The Rwandan genocide, a genocide that shocked the world, was the victim of the Tutsi and, according to incomplete information, France was personally involved in the massacre......
"That's also your customer?" asked Xie Kai in a sarcastic tone.
"As long as they need it, they will be our customers!" Xie Kai nodded and said seriously.
Bite the word "we" very hard.
If the Rwandan genocide breaks out, if he can, if he doesn't do something, Xie Kai will be psychologically overwhelmed.
He could not prevent the civil wars of various countries, after all, European and American countries played all kinds of dishonorable roles in various wars in Africa.
But genocide, that's anti-human.
The armored car drove directly into the settlement of the Hamonado tribe, and the warlike indigenous warriors were not as hostile as yesterday, and there were many fewer people.
Under the introduction of Varuu, Xie Kai learned that during the day, the warriors in the tribe need to hunt and fish, and the women need to collect all kinds of edible wild vegetables and fruits, and the matter of grazing cattle and sheep is handed over to the children who have not yet grown into warriors, leaving only some women to take care of the children and the warriors to protect the safety of the tribe......
"Didn't you say that you would come here today to pick someone?" Xie Kai asked Varuu with a frown.
Varuu looked embarrassed, "The people of our tribe are like this when there is no war. Last night's revelry had consumed more than half of the food stockpiled by the tribe......"
"You have so little food in reserve?" Liao Dong was already unhappy.
Apparently to cope with him.
Xie Kai knew that blacks were lazy and had never had the concept of saving.
Even if there were savings, it was the chief, not the common man.
Didn't you see that Hamonado had more than twenty wives, and the whole family took up 1/5 of the tribe?
In the middle of the circle, the women of the chieftain Hamonador live with their children, and their adult sons build houses elsewhere in the tribe......
"It's the dry season, and you have to go further to get enough food for the whole tribe......," Varuu said, "and during the rainy season when it's raining, it's raining outside, and people don't want to go out, and it's not easy to keep food......
"Let's go, talk to their chief, and we'll have to wait for them to come back in the afternoon. Xie Kai knew the situation, but now, no one could do anything.
When Xie Kai and Liao Dong arrived, Hamonado was eating meat and drinking wine with several other tribal chiefs, and it was not at all like there was no food without what Varuu said.
Seeing the two coming, the chief hurriedly greeted them.
Xie Kai looked at it and found that there were two tribal chieftains who were not here, the two tribal chiefs who had originally agreed to relocate.
When the intention was explained, the faces of several chiefs were sad, and they recounted the hardships of their tribes.
"We can provide food!" Xie Kai finally knew why. "Do you need rice or corn or whatever?"
"We need rice, corn, etc., we also need ......," said Hamonado.
"Well, the trained soldiers will provide each of them with two catties of rice and three catties of corn every day, and those who help us with the work will also be provided with food. Every day, after the training is completed and the work is completed, we distribute the ...... on the spot, "Xie Kai is not stupid."
"No!" Hamonado didn't speak, and a chief next to him spoke, "All the grain must be handed over to the tribe and managed ...... in one place."
"Thank you, all the food collected by the tribesmen will be distributed uniformly...... Hamonado said.
Liao Dong's face was ugly, and in this way, it was impossible to effectively control the discipline of the tribal warriors at all.
Xie Kai stopped Liao Dong and nodded in agreement.
"Why are you holding me back? They obviously want to control these fighters with food. How do we ......" When we left the tribe, it was extremely hot outside, but Liao Dong's heart was cold to the extreme.
How did Xie Kai not know?
But they can't change anything now, "On the African side, many countries are like this, the people in power are puppets of Western colonialism, and now although they are no longer colonies, they have only changed slightly." That's why countries are so turbulent...... And these tribes have no country or nation at all in their eyes, and all the people are the private property of the chief, and even have the power of life and death......"
"Are we just looking at it like this?" Liao Dong obviously couldn't see this.
"When we don't have a foothold, we can only watch. Work hard to train these tribal warriors, and when they understand something......" Xie Kai said sinisterly.
Liao Dong understood.
In the current situation, if the relationship with these tribes is poor, it will not be able to gain a foothold at all.
"Balloye is good, a true warrior, perhaps, a good tribal chieftain. As for the other tribes, perhaps, it is best to merge in the Hamonado tribe. Xie Kai said, "I think those tribal warriors should also hope to marry a few more wives and have a certain amount of property." ”
Liao Dong did not blame Xie Kai this time.
In this case, it is completely feudal.
Or, so to speak, a legacy of a slave society.
The two returned to the camp, and Xie Kai found Lu Yang and asked him to go to Kasanga to buy food and some daily necessities.
"Are we raising them like this?" Lu Yang was very dissatisfied with Xie Kai's request, "These lazy black brothers, giving them food, will only make them even lazier." ”
"If you're lazy, then find their tribal leader!" Xie Kai didn't explain to Lu Yang, "I'm still here these days......!
Lu Yang had no choice but to arrange for someone to go to Kasanga to purchase food.
"This is not a long-term thing, Kasanga is not big, and there will not be too many food reserves. Liao Dong reminded Xie Kai, "In the early queue training, I am going to get it to the airport." ”
"No problem, you have the final say, I will negotiate with the other party. "As for the food, Kasanga didn't have it, so he went to Sumbawanga." This is also a production area, as long as you boil for a few months, with the first harvest, everything will be fine......"
Xie Kai could see it.
"Don't give them guns in the early stage, those tribes who have guns, don't rush to train first, arrange for them to supervise the work of the people in their tribes! We need to build camps, etc., but our people can't supervise the work......" Playing with his heart, Xie Kai didn't dare to fight too hard with Zheng Yucheng's old foxes, but there was absolutely no problem in dealing with these indigenous tribes.
