Chapter 1858: Swap of Personal Feuds
"It sounds like a personal vendetta. 2."Lin Rui looked at the colonel and said.
"Yes, that's a personal vendetta. The man who is now in charge of the training camp is my comrade-in-arms as a child soldier. But it was this man who killed my brother and father. So if you help me, I'll help you. I happen to know that you are capable of doing that. And I have exactly the people you need. Personal vendetta is my problem, but I can still give you what you want. The colonel whispered.
"If we just had a holiday with this person, why do we want to release all the child soldiers?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Because I don't want to see any more children forced into battle like I did. Theoretically, everyone should have a choice, but some people are born without it. I'm just a person who has come over, and I want to give them back the freedom that originally belonged to them. The Colonel said coldly.
"But then you won't have much of your men left. What's in it for you?" Lin Rui frowned.
"It is my greatest good that you give me that place. That's why I've stayed here for so many years. I want revenge. The Colonel took a sip from his glass, "Think about it, it's not a loss to you, we'll take what we need." He slammed his glass upside down on the table, then slowly got up, "Inform me when you're ready." ”
When the colonel walked to the door, Lin Rui spoke, "How many of your subordinates can provide to us?"
The colonel stopped, "I heard you say that there are at least three hundred left, so I will give you these three hundred." ”
Lin Rui looked at Jiang An, and Jiang An nodded at him. The Colonel had the ability to control the town, and his men were actually at least five hundred. And they are indeed some sturdy black men. As for combat experience, they are also not lacking. It does seem that Lin Rui is the type they need.
Lin Rui was silent for a moment, then stretched out his hand and said, "Colonel, come and sit down, how about we talk?"
The colonel turned and sat down.
"With all due respect, Colonel, you're a bit of a force in this place. With your power, why don't you do this yourself?" said Shogishi as he looked at him.
"You don't know about the URA, but I do, and they know me. In fact, over the years, I have fought with them a lot. But they are good at guerrilla warfare, and they can run if they can't fight. Sometimes they disappear for months, or even flee to eastern Congo. Even the government forces can't do anything about them, let alone me?" said the colonel calmly.
"Then why do you think we can?" Lin Rui said as he looked at him.
"Because you are unrelated outsiders, they have no defense against you. You can use the pretext of hiring child soldiers to engage with them and take advantage of the opportunity to kill them. In recent years, the Ugandan rebel army has been declining day by day, and it has become more and more declining. Because of the lack of funds to sustain themselves, they also do some mercenary business, especially using those child soldiers to make money. This is an opportunity. The colonel looked at Lin Ruidao.
"If we do that, are you sure you'll keep your word?" said Shogishi as he looked at him.
The colonel coldly placed one hand on the table and at the same time pulled out the machete at his waist. In a flash of the knife, he cut off one of his fingers. He gritted his teeth and pushed this little finger in front of Lin Rui. "You want to see sincerity, and that's my sincerity. The colonel snapped.
Several bodyguards behind him came to bandage him, but he was pushed away by the colonel, he stared at Lin Rui and said, "As long as you do this and bring my enemies here." I'll give you whatever you want. ”
"Okay, then tell me about the situation there, who is your enemy?" Lin Rui picked up the finger on the table with his hand and put the bloody finger in the colonel's wine glass.
"This man's name is Vinak, one of the leaders of the Ugandan Resistance Army. He was in charge of the child soldier training camp, capturing and training children to fight for him. Most children are no more than 13 years old because he thinks children at this age are easier to control. In fact, like me, he was a child soldier. Murderous, ruthless, suspicious, and mercenary. The colonel, whose face was covered in sweat from the pain, wrapped his wounded hand in a handkerchief and whispered.
"What about the child soldier camp?" Shogan frowned.
"There are at least 300 people, and dozens of adults as leaders, controlling some of the children. Child soldiers are engaged in both labour and combat. But in normal times, because it is necessary to prevent them from escaping or mutiniing, they are strictly controlled. As long as you get rid of those dozens of armed men, the rest of the problems will be solved. The colonel replied, "I'll take care of the aftermath." ”
"Well, we need to talk it over. Lin Rui nodded.
"Then you'd better hurry. The Colonel turned and left with his bodyguards. The one of his fingers on the table was still in the glass. The colonel was a ruthless character, wielding a knife to chop off one of his fingers, without even snorting. But it does show the depth of his hatred for the Venak.
"Boss, what do you think?" Snakeeye whispered.
"What do you think?" Lin Rui asked rhetorically.
"This colonel is not a good thing, and besides, our mission is only to find people, and there is no need to mess with those outlaws of the Ugandan resistance. Snakeeye said slowly, "What I hate most is dealing with child soldiers in Africa, and I really don't want to do anything to those children." No one would want to shoot a teenager with a gun, but they wouldn't hesitate to shoot me. ”
"Yes, that's why I hate African warlords. Shogishi sighed.
Lin Rui was silent for a while and said, "But this is the only chance we can complete the task at the moment. With the Colonel's armed men on board, our operation was a success. Otherwise, we may have to wait two weeks or more. ”
"Fatally, we can wait, but the panther Guray may not be able to wait. The people of the Secret Society are still making more and more trouble, and the situation in our other signatory countries is not optimistic. Replenishing troops quickly is the only solution. Otherwise, if it is like the last situation, the Secret Society's armed support for the ** army to start another war, we will be helpless with a lack of manpower, and there will be no way at all. Jiang Jian said in a low voice.
"I thought the same thing, but in that case, we had to try. Lin Rui paced back and forth, "Where's Wallace?"
"He's probably still with Carl and talking about hiring. Shogishi replied.
Lin Rui thought for a while and said, "Call him over, and so is Carl." In this matter, we cannot just listen to the Colonel. Rather, it should be considered holistically. ”
