Chapter 1550: The Gem of Central Africa

A day later, Lin Rui and others appeared in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a magical place known as the gem of Central Africa.

Because the foundation of the country of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is particularly good. The forest coverage rate accounts for half of the country's land area, and there are large patches of wood that can be used to make bracelets for car beads, and the water resources are quite abundant, not to mention gold, diamonds, oil and various rare metals. Open the periodic table, and I don't think there are many that you can't find in them.

The foundation is so good, but it does not improve the lives of the Congolese people, because these resources attract different armed factions, triggering years of conflict, and the Congolese either flee with their families to escape the fighting, or are captured and reduced to absenteeism, standing in the muddy water all day long.

These different armed factions that control the mines come from different regions, and the armed factions are arguably another major intangible specialty of the DRC, with hundreds of them in the country. Although these factions were born among the trees and could not read a few big characters, they all had lofty ideals of governing the country in their hearts, and each of them felt that he had been sent by God to save the country, and that he would definitely do a better job than his current one when he came to power.

Therefore, while opposing the current government, I used mining to obtain military salaries to raise funds for activities, and in the process, whoever robbed me and did not let me mine, I fought with whomever I wanted. International powers often meddle in the internal affairs of the DRC, and each side wants to prop up its own proxies. So this place, from the beginning of the sixties to the present, has been full of war. It's just too busy for the blue helmets of the United Nations Security Council.

Lin Rui and the others met Qin Chuan, who was waiting for them at the airport. Qinchuan took them to the newly developed community, which is inhabited by Europeans and Chinese, close to the Congo River, the environment is also very good, and it is said to be the best community in the local area, of course, only relatively.

In the garage, Qin Chuan handed over the keys to the three cars. "This is the car you wanted, and the weapon is in the box behind the garage. If you have any other needs, you can let me know. ”

"We also need 350,000 in cash, preferably a knife. Lin Rui nodded.

"Is it okay to check it?" Qin Chuan said.

"Ask the kids who are begging on the streets, do they accept checks. Lin Rui shrugged and said, "Of course, it's cash, and the denomination is not too big, it's just a means to gather intelligence." ”

"Okay, I'll go back and figure out a way, do you often use money to buy intelligence?" Qin Chuan frowned.

"You don't need it when the information is complete. But in the absence of information, you will find that it is much faster to buy intelligence directly with money. Lin Rui turned to the back of the car and opened a metal box. couldn't help but smile and said, "Type 97 automatic rifle, the foreign trade model of China North Industries." How did you get it?"

China's Type 97 assault rifle is modified and developed on the basis of the Type 95 assault rifle, and the main change is the use of NATO-standard 5.56 mm ammunition, and the use of NATO-standard M16 assault rifle metal magazine, while omitting the original muzzle brake on the squadron standard weapon The sound reduction function. However, rifles of this type are mainly used for export, and they are rarely equipped in the country.

"Good eyesight, many people will mistake this gun for a Type 95. Qin Chuan smiled and said. "I'm looking for someone for you. NORINCO has a presence in many African countries, but this type does not sell much. ”

Lin Rui picked up the weapon, weighed it in his hand, and made the following aim. "Okay, at least the guns are out quickly, the empty compartment is restored, 3 bursts have been added, and the handguard has a longer grip length. However, the defect that the scope is too high remains. ”

"Make do with it, according to local conditions. You can't let me find an arms dealer to get a weapon, right?" Qin Chuan said with a sigh.

"Type 82-2 grenades, all domestic?" said Lin Rui holding a grenade.

"Export products, you know we export a lot of products on this side. Qin Chuan shrugged.

"Yes, it's everywhere in Central Africa, and even these grenades are cheaper locally than a can of Coke. Lin Rui shook his head and said.

"But you have to admit that the power is okay, the main charge is 40g high-energy explosives. The bullet adds a safety pin pull ring fixture to ensure the safety of the grenade in various environments. The 82-2 all-plastic handleless steel ball grenade has a total mass of 260g, a diameter of 52mm, a length of 90mm, and a killing radius of 6m. Qin Chuan smiled and said.

"It's all bargains. Sergei shook his head.

"It's cheap and easy to use. That's how we captured the African market. Qin Chuan sighed and said. "We need at least two sniper rifles, and if we don't have them, high-precision rifles will do. Lin Rui frowned and said, "If we want to ensure the safety of the hostages in this kind of mission, we must have snipers to control the situation. ”

"Okay, I'll get it. Qin Chuan said. "There's nothing here that we can't get. ”

"Great, get two packs of cigarettes by the way. Sergei nodded.

Qin Chuan was stunned, so he could only turn around and leave.

"Who does this guy think he is? If you brag to me again, I'll ask him to send two women. Sergei frowned.

"People like them have this problem, just ignore him. Lin Rui shook his head and said, "Look at the condition of the car and weapons." Sergey, you and Crazy Horse went out to inquire about the news. Snakeeye went to find your old friends and saw if they could get the news. Actuaries, get in touch with the headquarters on the island of St. Kaiser as soon as possible. We need Cobain's help. ”

"Of course. "Actuary Jiang An has turned on the tactical computer.

"Sausages, you go out and find something to eat, bread, vegetables and fruits, but remember not to have meat from unknown sources. Lin Rui waved his hand.

"Yes, Captain. Sausage nodded, turned and went out.

"Chief, Sandro, Yelena, go out and make rounds to check the security around you. Crystal, you check this room with the cookies, I don't see any surveillance or bugging devices. Lin Rui continued to command.

"No, Boss, we're dealing with a bunch of African militias, not the CIA. Cookie laughed, "I don't think they would dare to come here and eavesdrop on information." ”

"It's standard process, newcomer. Besides, it's not just the warlords we need to guard against. Remember, if we can buy news, so can they. So there has to be such a check, and don't trust anyone here too much, and it's forbidden to talk openly about all issues about the mission. Lin Rui gestured and said, "Okay, all move, all act." ”

"Yes, Captain. Cookie nodded.

"One more thing, no matter what problems you have, you must contact me in time. Lin Rui said in a deep voice, "The last point, when you encounter a threat, fire first and then speak, no matter who the other party is." ”
