After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Clyde shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said, "Okay, boss, I believe that with you, I can become the greatest captain in history......"

"Hehe, you will, there are countless treasures waiting for us in the ocean, but Clyde, you have to wait until I finish dealing with the matter at hand......"

Zhuang Rui casually drew a free flatbread for Clyde, but this time it was relatively reliable, and when the matter in Central Africa was resolved, Zhuang Rui was ready to salvage the wreck. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After leveling the bearded captain, Zhuang Rui invited Li Shaohua to have dinner on the Xuanrui, the big chef from China and the rich supplies on the ship, Li Shaohua was very happy to eat, on their battleship, but they couldn't eat such a delicious meal.

As the chief officer of the fleet for this military visit, Li Shaohua still had a lot of things to deal with, and after dinner, he politely rejected Zhuang Rui's suggestion to let him stay on the Xuanrui to rest, and returned to his warship.

……

"Mr. Zhuang, the convoy escorting you to the mining area is ready, is it going to leave now?"

Early the next morning, a naval officer came to the Xuanrui, this person Zhuang Rui saw yesterday, called Zhou Liang, was with Li Shaohua, but he was wearing civilian clothes at the time, and now after changing into a military uniform, he is wearing the rank of colonel.

"Brother Zhou, it's okay to call me Xiaozhuang or Zhuang Rui, don't call me anything, this is too awkward......"

Zhuang Rui smiled and took a pack of red pandas with long filters and threw them over, he knew that in the future, the guard work in the mining area would be taken care of by this naval colonel officer and the mercenaries of the company, of course, he had to get along with the people who came.

Taking a glance at the cigarette thrown by Zhuang Rui, Colonel Zhou's eyes couldn't help but light up, although he smoked a white-skinned military Chinese cigarette at his level, but this kind of cigarette for leaders above the ministerial level, he usually enjoyed it unfortunately.

"Okay, Brother Zhuang, I'll bribe you with this pack of cigarettes, and I'll make you a friend......"

Zhou Liang is a cheerful person, of course he will not get along with Zhuang Rui because of a pack of cigarettes, but yesterday I saw the attitude of the boss towards Zhuang Rui, and Zhuang Rui did not have the slightest habit of those gentlemen in China, Zhou Liang naturally knew how to get along with Zhuang Rui.

After chatting with Zhuang Rui for a while, Zhou Liang looked at his watch and said, "Let's go, get on the boat, brother, in order to send you over, I drove the largest troop transport speedboat......

The Gulf of Guinea is the largest bay in the world and the center of trade between Central Africa, where countless ships dock or leave every day, but the Chinese warships can only stay in the waters of countries related to the Gulf of Guinea.

After seeing the speedboat below, which was enough to transport dozens of soldiers at a time, Zhuang Rui smiled and patted King Kong's head, and said, "King Kong, you kid enjoys special treatment......

"Whew......"

Although King Kong likes life on the ocean very much, but he has not seen land for a long time, this guy has been a little commotion, and after jumping into the speedboat from the elevator excitedly, the whole speedboat was pressed by its huge body and sank.

After taking a speedboat from the "Xuan Rui" to the port, Zhuang Rui was startled by the convoy in front of him, and at a landing place in the busy port, the two off-road vehicles he saw yesterday were parked, as well as four armored personnel carriers and a truck surrounded by canvas.

"Brother Zhou, use ...... Do you need such a big battle?"

Forget about the truck, that's because there is King Kong with you, and ordinary cars can't fit it, but this armored personnel carrier is a bit too dazzling.

The thick bulletproof tires are half a person high, the chassis frame of the body is extremely high, and it can travel on more complex road conditions, and there are two shooting holes in each of the head and tail of the personnel carrier, in other words, this whole is a simplified tank.

This kind of battle really made Zhuang Rui's heart beat a little drum, he just went to the company to take up his post, this whole thing is like a war, could it be that there is still danger on the road?

Such a convoy parked on the pier made everyone around them look sideways, but this is in Africa, especially in the Gulf of Guinea, which is sandwiched between seven or eight small countries, and no one will meddle in it.

King Kong, who got off the speedboat, also surprised the workers on the docks, although several surrounding countries are the last habitat of the gorillas on this planet, but these people have never seen such a large orangutan.

Zhou Liang, who was wearing a military uniform, was a little impatient by the people around him, beckoned to Zhuang Rui, and said: "Brother Zhuang, what is this, you don't know, some chiefs from several surrounding countries are out, and the auction is much bigger than ours, let's go, get in the car, and talk about ......."

After Zhuang Rui and the others got into the car, the convoy quickly drove out of the port, drove on a flat asphalt road for about half an hour, and turned into a gravel road, most of which was arable land on both sides of the road, and many black people were working in the fields.

"Damn, you really don't wear a shirt, huh, it's all women working?"

Zhuang Rui found that these people working in the fields are basically women, and some friends will ask, black people look so dark, can you see clearly in the car?

The answer is very simple, because those women don't wear tops, and their entire upper bodies are exposed, unless the men's chest muscles are like Da'Arnold or Stallone, Zhuang Rui will not admit his mistake.

It's not that Zhuang Rui is playing hooligan to stare at that place, but it's too conspicuous, and whoever looks at it at first glance is also looking at that place.

"Brother Zhou, why don't men work?"

Zhuang Rui asked like Zhou Liang beside him, could it be that this place is the same as Myanmar, where men take care of children at home and women work?

"Here, farming is considered light work, and the men are working in the forest or in the mining area, which is much more tiring than these jobs......"

Zhou Liang's Chinese fleet has been in this area for more than two years, and he knows the local customs and living habits well, so he introduced Zhuang Rui at the moment.

Many countries in Africa are surrounded by primeval forests, and in the early centuries, the people here were not much different from primitive people, and the Americas and Western countries came here in droves to capture black slaves.

Although the rights and interests of the black people have been recognized and greatly improved after the liberation movement, the situation of poverty and backwardness in Africa has not changed much.

Even within these countries, slavery still exists, with prisoners of war being the main source of slaves, as well as some debt slaves and criminals, and the slave trade is also prevalent.

Imperfection of the system will lead to the decline of social development, although the land of Africa can be said to be full of gold, but this gold does not belong to the African people.

Especially in Central Africa, many countries cover more than 55% of their forests, and although they have rich deposits of gold, copper, iron and other minerals underground, they do not have enough technology to mine them.

As a result, most of the people here make a living from arable land, and men are engaged in heavy labor such as deforestation, hunting and fishing, and mineral extraction, while agriculture is mainly carried out by women.

Just like the scene Zhuang Rui saw, it was all women working, they put their children who couldn't climb in the fields, and they were busy in it.

And even if these people work like this, the reward in exchange is only to solve the problem of food and clothing, so in such an area, disputes are also the most likely to occur, and wars between tribes often break out, and what they do is the other party's women and wealth.

"Alas, this is really guarding the gold mountain to ask for food......"

After hearing Zhou Liang's introduction, Zhuang Rui couldn't help but sigh with emotion, there are incomparably rich mineral resources underground, but these people can only engage in the most primitive work to make a living, and if they are backward, they will be beaten, which is the most applicable in the land of Africa.

After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Zhou Liang pursed his lips and said disappreciatively: "Jinshan, Jinshan does have it, but it is all personal, and it has nothing to do with these ordinary people......

In every country or region, even in primitive societies, there are privileged classes, and this is true in Africa, and even more.

The kings or chieftains of these countries controlled important trade materials such as gold, salt, furs, ivory, and metal minerals, and basically the wealth of a country was collected in their hands.

According to Zhou Liang, he once saw a chieftain who guarded the gold mining tribe and built a large lake on his estate, but its effect was incredible.

The lake, which occupied much of the farmland of the black peasants, was only used to park the chief's seaplanes for landing and take-off, which he rarely used twice a year.

Don't look poor here, but high-end consumption can be staggering, with all kinds of the world's top sports cars and private jets, of course, the consumers are still those kings or chiefs.

"Grandma's, no wonder wars often break out here, where there is oppression, there is resistance......"

Zhuang Rui was also very upset after hearing about the lives of African people, of course, he just sighed a few words, after all, the mining company he invested in is, fundamentally speaking, equivalent to earning wealth from African people.

"Yes, people are poor and short-sighted, and they are more easily provoked, sometimes a tribe can subvert a country......" Zhou Liang's tone of voice seemed to be deeply touched, Zhuang Rui was very suspicious that they had done these things?

After more than an hour of further driving, the farmland on both sides became less and less, the road became narrower, and the tall rainforest trees were growing everywhere on both sides, and the surroundings became very quiet except for the chirping of birds and animals.
