Chapter 764: Strange Historical Traditions
People who watch TV all year round have the impression that Africa fights at every turn, and today this country fights, and tomorrow that country fights.
But after reading those materials and understanding them on the ground, Fang Yuanshan had a new understanding of the war in Africa, and this is also the reason why Fang Yuanshan did not think that those anti-government/government forces could win.
Don't look at the vigorous and vigorous fight on TV, in fact, there are really not a few deaths. Even their wars are not wars at all, and to put it mildly, many large-scale armed conflicts are simply a kind of game for them.
Again, Africans are too lazy. In addition, the products are relatively abundant, and the large tribes have almost no survival pressure except for diseases, and they are all illiterate, and they can't read the world famous works such as "100,000 Whys" and "5,000 Years in the World" to cultivate sentiment, so in the words of "Water Margin": These days are all so faded out of the birds, you must go down the mountain to be happy, and then you will fight!~
Therefore, the situation on the African side is as follows: The two sides often fight each other with various weapons, and hundreds of thousands of bullets are fired at Nima, killing several people in Nima, or even one person not dying! After the fight is over, the boss negotiates, drinks and talks, and then fights again in the dry season next year......
This kind of awesome tradition, tribes like CΓ΄te d'Ivoire, Nigeria, Namibia, Congo, Angola and many other countries maintain this strange historical tradition.
And those anti-government/government forces are an alliance made by several major tribes, and the militants in them may be the eldest nephew, brother-in-law and other personnel of the tribal chief.
These lazy black Africans, who belong to the kind of people who can't help when the oil bottle is poured, what kind of war do you expect them to fight? Maybe if one is unhappy, they can run home and play in the evening.
In this context, if you want to rely on the anti/government/government armed forces supported by the French government to overthrow the existing ruling party, it is estimated that Fang Yuanshan's hair is gray.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, he arrived at the Republic of "Benin", and Fang Yuanshan was too lazy to visit this small place. These African countries are all the same, and the scenery is all the same. When I first watched it, I thought it was very shocking, but after a long time, it will feel boring.
It's okay if he comes over with a group of people to hunt, but Fang Yuanshan really doesn't have the spirit to drive alone. So the car continued to move towards the next country, "Togo".
"Togo," a small country of tens of thousands of square kilometers, is only a little more than 100 square kilometers if we only count the urban area.
Fang Yuanshan's Ford SUV passed through the city, and after feeling the charm of a small country, he continued to drive towards the next country, "Ghana".
Compared with Togo, Ghana is much larger, with a total area of more than 200,000 square kilometers, 10 times that of Togo. Fang Yuanshan, who was driving, stopped and walked around when passing through their capital "Accra".
It's a lot more bustling than the backcountry, and because it's located on the Gold Coast, the scenery is quite stunning. Walking to the east of the old city, Fang Yuanshan feels as if he has come to an international metropolis, and there is no feeling of being in Africa at all.
It's already past seven o'clock in the evening, and the brilliant lights and colorful colors make the whole "Accra" very dreamy, and everything looks so beautiful.
In the distance, Fang Yuanshan, who had already walked from the old city, found a relatively less crowded place by the beach and sat down.
An old man in his sixties next to him, probably seeing that Fang Yuanshan was also from China, took the initiative to come over and greet: "Young man, are you from China?"
Fang Yuanshan, who was holding a glass of beer, nodded and smiled: "Sort of!"
The old man didn't care at all, picked up the cup and touched it with him: "Is the young man here for tourism or work?"
"It's a job, a semi-tourist!"
Hearing his words, the old man looked at him and smiled: "Ghana is much better than other countries, where there are perennial tribal conflicts and business is not stable. The political situation here is stable, and the reputation of the Canadian government in this sector is also good, which is suitable for the long-term development of young men here. β
Fang Yuanshan, who had been driving for a day, was trying to talk to a local, and when he saw that this old man was very good at talking, he put down the wine glass in his hand and asked, "Is the old gentleman also traveling here?"
"No, my son works here, and our whole family has settled here. β
After saying a word, he laughed: "The air here is very good, the food is not polluted, I have lived here for more than 20 years, and now there is no geriatric disease at all." β
"yes, I don't know what the old gentleman's son does?"
At the mention of his son, the old man showed a look of pride on his face, looked at Fang Yuanshan and smiled: "My son originally worked in the domestic gold mines, and then the company sent him here to live for many years, and then the whole family simply immigrated over. β
At night, the sea breeze blows softly, with a little salty smell of seawater. The starry sea in the distance looks like a dream, and who would believe that this is Africa if you don't say it?
But then Fang Yuanshan thought of a question, looked at the old man and asked, "Where did all the mine workers here come from, are they locals from Ghana?"
"Locals?"
Hearing his words, the spirited old man smiled and said: "It is better to expect those Africans to take the initiative to mine and mine gold, than to expect the old sow to fly! The workers in the gold mine contracted by my son's company are all from China. β
The old man pulled his white shirt that was blown by the wind, looked at Fang Yuanshan and continued: "Although it is a little more expensive to invite someone from China, it is very efficient. The locals are paid every night and disappear, often after several days before they reappear. Therefore, the average mine worker is a foreigner. β
Hearing this old man's words, Fang Yuanshan's eyes suddenly lit up. Although the affairs of CΓ΄te d'Ivoire have not yet appeared, but as this old man said, he can really negotiate with those big tribes, and it is the same for renting their gold mines!~
With the increasing production of South Ferris Ridge, he must find some legal export channels, otherwise such a large amount of pressure will be a troublesome matter in his hands.
He wanted to contract gold mines in places where there was no war, but such a country was stable, and those resources that could be mined had long been preempted by those large international companies, and he didn't even have a chance to drink soup.
chatted with this old man for a while, since Fang Yuanshan was also in the mineral business, the two of them chatted quite speculatively, and finally this old man invited Fang Yuanshan to sit at home, he thought that it was nothing to do anyway, so he simply followed him to his house.
