Chapter 282: Raid

Cabinda, Ba-Congo tribe.

As the main tribe of Cabinda, the Bakongos occupy about 40 percent of Cabinda's 7,000 square kilometers.

They are centred in Belize and have a population of about 60,000 spread over the mountainous areas northwest of Cabinda.

In the coastal zone, there is a mixture of Pakistani Congolese, Canadian Congolese and Bukzau ethnic groups.

The vast majority of the 100,000 Cabinda people have nothing to do with Angola in any way.

In the 70s, Cabinda was included in Cabinda as an enclave, but the security team was appointed to guard the city of Cabinda and guard the port, and the people here are still self-governing.

No one cared about them, and when it came to negotiating the ownership of Cabinda, no one listened to the opinions of the indigenous people here.

But they don't care, anyway, no matter which country Cabinda belongs to, it's still their tribe who has the final say.

However, the two countries of Zaire and Congo were not convinced, and they gave these tribes weapons that their armies had obsolete in the hope that Cabinda would not become a hidden danger for the two Congolese if the chaos continued.

The Bacongo tribe has always been supported by Zaire and is satisfied that the tribe has maintained its self-governing status.

But now that the news of Cabinda's possible oil has spread, people are in doubt.

The Pakistani Congolese are one of the few ethnic groups that still follow the matrilineal line, and they practice polygamy, but they calculate their lineage and property not on the patrilineal but on the matrilineal basis.

Only in foreign wars are men dominant.

So most of the time in this race, the power is not in the hands of the patriarch, but in the hands of the elders.

"Great Elder, the Armenians have sent so many weapons, do we really want to listen to them and fight for the independence of Cabinda?"

The Great Elder Mutu carved a wooden carving with a chisel in his left hand and a hammer in his right hand, and only after a while did he look at who was sitting cross-legged.

", you are the most valiant warrior of our people, but our guns should be aimed at the Congolese and not at anyone else. ”

"Then we took these weapons, and did not listen to the Armenians?"

"Are they going to send someone to go back?"

"But they are the most powerful country in the world. ”

Mutu took a sip of the water soaked in the bark of the Cabinda tree, shook his head and said, "They are in the Americas, and this is in Africa." They want us to turn our guns on the white people, and if we do, we're afraid we're going to lose our homes.

I don't want to leave my homeland and go to Zaire, where we still have our own land, and to Zaire, we can only rummage through the garbage for food. ”

"But I have heard that the Bukzau seem to be eager to take Cabinda. ”

"Then let's let them charge ahead. ”

Seeing that you were still a little unwilling, Mu Tu thought about it, afraid that he would be brutal, but he still revealed a little information. "The whites who develop oil in Cabinda, not Armenia's own people, so they want to destroy. But they did not dare to make a move, for fear that the Soviets would also strike.

These white people are not so simple, even the president of Zaire has to rely on them to buy cheap arms, rely on them to sell the gold and diamonds of the South, these people, we can't afford to mess with.

The Bukzau are just a bunch of small fish in a pond, and they don't know that these whites are sharks in the sea. ”

Looking at the hundred muskets outside the hut, Mutu said, "Give these guns to the warriors, but let us not listen to the Armenians. ”

But in Cabinda, there are not many people like Elder Mutu who have seen the world, and this enclave, which is contested but guarded by three countries, is an isolated island of the real world.

If the people who live here want to escape, if they want to gain greater autonomy, they must seize every opportunity.

The Bukzau tribe, with 30,000 people, is a branch of the Bantu people, but they have been abandoned during migration for more than 100 years and are living in the gap between the Congolese people.

Unlike the two opposing Congolese, each with the support of two countries behind their backs, they do not have information channels at the top.

After receiving a hundred rifles, it was bought.

They were looking for an opportunity to snatch more weapons and supplies while the white army was away.

Then, the Armenians will give them even greater support.

As for this group of whites, in the eyes of the Bukzau people, they are just businessmen who collude with Angola and how can they be compared to the most powerful country in the world.

As for the Congolese, they also received a gift of a hundred rifles, but they, like the Pakistani Congolese, had the same information channels at the top, and knew that the whites who were now developing oil could not be easily provoked.

Although only one tribe was willing to act as a thug, for Armenia, the goal had been achieved.

And at this time, Jonas came to Cabinda.

For Jonas, the main thing was to encircle the resistance group of the Cabinda Liberation Front (Cabinda), which was led by ethnic Congolese.

Unexpectedly, a small tribe whose name he couldn't even remember sounded the horn against Anguo.

On April 27, Jonas had been in a meeting in the morning, had lunch at noon, and took a supply ship to the two nearest drilling platforms to comfort the workers.

The drilling platform can be said to be the culmination of the world's industrial miracle, and is the world's largest single industrial equipment along with the giant ship.

A large drilling platform is a large industrial platform, which can accommodate thousands of people to work and live on it.

Transoceanic drilling has sent two rigs this time, one is a semi-submersible rig and the other is a bottom-sitting rig.

Semi-submersible rigs work in water depths of about 50 meters to 2 kilometers, while bottom-sitting rigs generally work in shallow waters above 50 meters.

This semi-submersible drilling platform consists of a box deck with six large columns, a tall derrick and two submarine-style sinking pads. It is 40 meters high from the bottom of the sink to the upper deck of the platform, and if you calculate the total height of 100 meters at the top of the derrick, it is equivalent to the height of a 30-story building

The length is also nearly 100 meters, the total width is 80 meters, the working displacement is 220,000 tons, the working draft is 20 meters, and the platform is equipped with 900 items, nearly 9,000 pieces of mechanical and electrical equipment.

Basically, all drilling platforms are divided into drilling areas, power areas, communication areas, safety and rescue areas, and staff living areas, and some drilling platforms even have direct refining units.

At the moment in the exploration phase, there are not many people working on the platform. If an oil field is discovered, the platform will work at full capacity, and it will be able to meet the work and life of thousands of people on the platform for three months.

Jonas, who was sitting in this steel monster elevator and ascending, couldn't help but have a kind of admiration for industrial development in his heart.

If you don't board the giant ship and enter the drilling platform, you can't experience this awe and shock at all.

Don't say that this kind of giant steel monster is a giant gantry crane, a large machine tool, and a giant truck, which can make people feel shocked many times.

Especially when he climbed to the top of the derrick and looked down on the sea in the middle of nowhere, Jonas even had a fear of heights for a while, which was so scary.

As a big boss, of course, Jonas's arrival can't just be a quick look, he comes to pay, everyone has to pay at least a week's salary as a bonus to boost morale.

It was only in the evening that Jonas returned from the sea, and by this time, Kane had already returned.

"Tomorrow at noon, the leaders of the three main tribes will come on time. Jonas, is it really necessary to communicate directly with them? They can't stand up to the government forces. ”

"However, the government forces are now fighting the rebels, and we are unlikely to get any more support than the two hundred amateur soldiers here. ”

Kane paused for a moment and asked, "Do you mean that this time the Rainbow Country sent troops to the Anguo country, and it also meant to target us?"

"Who knows? At least during this period, the government forces have limited support for us, so that's why I ask you to expand it. ”

This can't be blamed on Kane's lack of information channels, after all, he has only been in Cabinda for a short time, and he has not even been able to gain a foothold, let alone control the surrounding situation.

"I understand, I'll take precautions tomorrow. ”

In the evening, the leaders of the government forces stationed in Cabinda and the dignitaries of Cabinda arrived at the camp, and Jonas prepared a sumptuous dinner for them, which was a great feast for the guests and the hosts.

This high-ranking official was sent from Anguo, not a local, except for the two hundred soldiers and more than 100 policemen in his hand, he couldn't even get out of the city.

Therefore, Jonas does not regard him as particularly important, but the necessary envelopment is sufficient.

It rained heavily during the night, and by dawn it was still raining.

Jonas could only exercise in his own house, and it took twenty minutes longer than usual to stretch all his muscles.

Just as he was about to go out to wash, at this time, he heard a gunshot.

It was not one or two sounds, but it quickly formed a piece, especially when the bullets shot on the top of the tin house converted from a container, forming a vibration that made people's ears ring.

Jonas soon realized that an army was attacking the camp, and he ran to his bedside and picked up his own gold-encrusted and diamond-encrusted boletta.

This is a handicraft pistol given to him by the Boleta family, saying that it is a handicraft, but it is no different from an ordinary pistol, and it is still a handle designed according to the shape of Jonas's hand, which is more useful.

The reason why it is inlaid with gold and diamonds is also to make this gun more like a craft and more in line with Jonas's identity.

Jonas's bodyguards have all applied for international security documents and have gun licenses, although Jonas has not done so, but they will not be confiscated by customs when they enter and exit customs.

Of course, except for coming to African countries, Jonas basically does not bring his own guns.

He opened the gun box and began to load the bullets, and when Plov had already rushed in.

The camp was heavily guarded, and he did not look flustered, and quickly took out a body armor. "Jonas, come here and put it on, you're on the periphery. ”

The barracks where Jonas lived was the third floor from the perimeter, and with the intersection of the two floors of the barracks, there was only one corner of the third-story barracks that could be shot from the outside.

Jonas didn't think the body armor was ugly, and put it on his body. "Do you know who it is? How many people are there?"

"It's raining heavily, I can't see it clearly, but judging from the return fire of the soldiers in the camp, there are people in all directions, and there are quite a few people coming. ”
