"I said, they were here the other day. However, they were taken to the mine the night before. Cobwa gasped.

"What mining area, where is the location?" Lin Rui shouted in a deep voice.

"Nobody knows that place. It's a wetland on the shores of Lake Albert, where we found a diamond mine last year, and we hired people to mine and pan for sand. Because it's in a wetland forest, no one knows about that place at all. Even government forces didn't know there was a diamond mine there. "Cobwa Road.

"No way, if there really is a diamond mine, the news should spread quickly. It's impossible that you've been sneaking around for more than half a year, and no one knows yet. Lin Rui frowned.

"Yes, it's always hard to keep this kind of thing a secret. So we burned down several nearby villages, locked up the adults and put the children into the barracks. No one knows what we're doing, and we don't have contact with the outside world. All sales channels are represented by a European company.

They will take as much as we take. Of course the price is much lower than the international market, but it is enough for us. They are very efficient and all of them are cash-settled. Cobwa whispered.

"Is this possible?" Lin Rui frowned.

"If their goods were to be resold directly to the Secret Society to Europe, then they really wouldn't attract too much attention. Because the Secret Society is behind the scenes, even if the government forces try to find them, they may not be able to find that place in the dense forests of the wetlands. Besides, the current government army itself is in a state of flux, and no one will take care of it. Shogishi nodded.

Kobua sighed and said, "But the good times don't last long, and the Chinese have to build roads nearby to pass through this wetland." Because the geology is soft, they will definitely do further exploration. Once this diamond mine is discovered, it will inevitably arouse the covetousness of the surrounding warlords, and everything that we have spent so long building up will not exist. ”

"That's why you're kidnapping the Chinese construction crews, hoping to create tension that will force them to stop the construction of that area. Lin Rui pointed a gun at him and said, "Then why transfer the hostages?"

"The people of the Order don't think they're safe here, there are still too many people who know about this place, and it's far from being hidden from the mines. And there has been a labor shortage recently, and we haven't been too active lately after the last attack on the Chinese, so as not to attract the attention of government forces and other warlords. So I transferred those Chinese to the mining area and let them work as laborers. Cobwa whispered.

"You're pretty good at it. Lin Rui nodded and said, "Use hostages as laborers." Where is that mining area located?"

"I can take you there, but you can't save people from there, it's the Secret Society's people who are in control. The hostages are held in such a way that even my people are not allowed to enter or leave at will. These guys are very powerful. Cobwa whispered.

"Less nonsense!" Sergei lifted him up, "what does the boss do with him?"

"Drag him to the car, don't let him die, we need to let him lead the way. Let's go right away. Lin Rui said in a deep voice. "Prepare the brethren for what could be a tough battle next. ”

"Understood. Sergei and Crazy Horse put Kobwa in the car, his leg had been broken, and he was dragged to the ground with a bloody mark.

"What about the militants here?" asked Shogishi.

"Lock them all up and wait for the government forces to pick up the pieces. We do our own thing. Lin Rui waved his hand and said, "Get in the car." ”

Brilliant and hard, diamonds are not only a symbol of strength, but also a symbol of eternal love, which is why they are loved by women all over the world. According to statistics, about half of the world's diamonds are produced in Africa, and almost without exception, the most beautiful and precious diamonds come from Africa.

But what these diamonds brought to Africa was not wealth, but endless violence, bloodshed and cannibalism, and it could be said that each diamond was stained with blood. In order to mine, produce and transport these diamonds, I don't know how many innocent people have lost their lives.

Driven by huge profits, diamond mining not only fueled the greed of the local elite, but also led to the intensification of civil wars between the various races, and the ordinary people living at the lowest strata of society were literally the biggest victims of diamonds.

One of the main reasons why civil wars in some African countries have been unstoppable for decades, and why government forces and rebels are on a par with each other, is that the mining and smuggling of diamonds has kept the rebel armed forces rich. They either use the dollars they get from the sale of diamonds or directly use them in exchange for arms, which keeps the rebels supplied with weapons.

In order to cover up their illegal activities of smuggling diamonds, some countries with continuous civil wars export diamonds to the European market through third countries such as Gambia in West Africa, and then use the obtained dollars to buy large quantities of arms to support wars with neighboring countries or domestic ethnic wars.

Southern Africa has been transformed into a major battlefield after years of civil war in the Congo over the territory of the diamonds, which has also involved neighbouring Rwanda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Burundi. Diamonds bring violence, gore, and endless cannibalism.

Representatives of African countries openly exchange diamonds for weapons in some of the world's most well-known diamond cutting, polishing and trading venues, such as Antwerp in Belgium, Tel Aviv in Israel and New York in the United States. Every day, many diamond and arms dealers are engaged in various illegal trades in these places, and AK-47 assault rifles, rocket launchers and other heavy weapons continue to flow into Africa.

By contrast, these small, messy diamond mines are hell on earth. There is no such thing as mechanical mining at all, everything is manual. Many hungry black Africans stood in a half-human mire, using the most rudimentary tools, washing in the sand and looking for diamonds. Due to the intense work and poor sanitary conditions, many of them do not survive long in this environment.

The diamond mine in Cobwa is one such place. Strictly speaking, it is not a mine at all, there is no mining equipment here, there is no labor security, it is just a valley depression in the middle of the dense forest. A group of black militants with guns and a group of black people forced to labor. That's what this diamond mine is all about.

In order not to alarm these militants, the vehicles of Lin Rui and others did not approach this place. Instead, they got out of the car at a great distance and approached on foot in the middle of the jungle. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "Be careful, in order to prevent the laborers from escaping, they have set up a power grid outside the camp and set up a minefield. We have to find out more about the situation before we do it. ”
