Chapter 477: The Truth About the Gold Mine
The heavy rainfall did not stop, and the river continued to swell, inundating the town's low-lying houses. In just a few hours, the river was already more than a meter deep. From time to time, the corpses of animals and people floated over the river, and the people sitting or napping or chatting in the tents only glanced indifferently through the open waterproof roller shutters, without any expression.
Ye Tian suddenly found that there was a scale on the iron rod on the square where the tailings slag had been piled up, so he asked curiously: "This scale is very high, can this water rise to two meters?"
"Two meters?" said Ralph, pretending to look at the dark clouds and pretending to be a meteorologist, "according to this amount of rain, by tomorrow the river will be able to enter large assault boats." ”
Kayari made a gesture to kick him, and explained to Ye Tian with a smile: "Don't listen to this kid's nonsense, he will look at the weather." That's pretty much the way it gets during the rainy season in Africa every year, and the whole grassland is dotted with lakes and ponds and seasonal rivers, but here. Kayari said, pointing to the pole that marked the water level: "Because there are mountains here and the vegetation is seriously damaged, the annual water level is generally around 2,500 mm to 3,000 mm according to your Huaxia unit. ”
Ye Tian stuck out his tongue, unable to imagine that there was such a large amount of rainfall in the rainy season in Africa.
As the conversation deepened, Kayari finally let off his guard, and talked to Ye Tian with a smile very naturally.
In fact, Kayari has a natural affinity for Ye Tian. Like Ralph in his youth, he was trafficked. It's just that Ralph went to Europe, and he went to China in Asia. The simple and kind and hard-working Chinese people left a deep impression on Kayari's childhood. It was not until he was fourteen years old that he was taken back by his own tribe to participate in the African Jihad Liberation Movement.
During that six-year armed campaign, Kayari not only miraculously survived, but also formed his own mercenary organization, becoming a well-known local mercenary corps.
Unfortunately, under the watchful eyes of the stormy world and international forces, Kayari's mercenaries bloomed like a flash in the pan and quickly withered. This is also related to Kayari's childhood experience in Huaxia - he still can't sell his country's interests for money and power like other mercenary leaders. In China, Kayali learned a term that he will never forget: motherland. The young Kayari could not understand the beliefs of those Chinese people who bravely fought forward in the face of foreign aggression, and it was not until he returned to the African land where he was born and raised that Kayari gradually began to understand the important meaning of the motherland for a person - it should be a plot that is difficult to part with in a person's life, and it is a place that imprints a person's body and soul.
When international capital and forces were like behemoths ready to cut the land of Africa, Kayari, who had faith and ideals but could not be a cold-blooded executioner, was naturally abandoned. The former mercenary army was like a piece of wood in a torrent that tried to resist in vain, and it was instantly crushed.
The defeated Kayali was not as depressed as others thought, he was just distressed by his compatriots killing each other in the land, these devilish white people who believed in God but committed satanic crimes in this rich land. They beckoned the hungry paupers with dollars and pounds in their hands, and after a brief training, they took weapons and slaughtered each other for them. However, in this smoke-filled place, Kayari, who did not even have a mercenary, had no chance of realizing his utopian dreams.
Reality is a dream that can make a person forget everything. During one battle, Kayari was wounded in his left eye by stray shrapnel, and the last of his descendants were scattered, and Kayari lost his last ground for the mercenaries.
After several twists and turns, Kayari gave up his surging dreams and went incognito to this gold mine with his brother, who had been following him from birth to death.
It can be said that Kayari grew up with this gold mine. The gold mine, called Lunanxi, and the three conjoined diamond mines not far away, are the most famous mining areas in the region, and several mine owners have amazing wealth that can influence local power. The mercenaries under his command are also strong, not long after the arrival of Kayali, the mine owner discovered Kayari's amazing talent and courage, and the mine owner who knows how to make good use of the mercenaries directly threw the recruitment and training of the mercenaries to Kayari, and Kayali also lived up to expectations, and in just five years, these rabble were trained to be strong and murderous.
Ye Tian could see that Kayari and Ralph had a close relationship, but he didn't expect that Ralph had saved Kayali's life twice. After hearing Kayari's eloquent words, my impression of him was naturally a little better.
"In Huaxia Kingdom, your friendship is the most trustworthy. Ye Tian raised the beer in his hand, which was sent by Kayari's men.
"For friendship, for freedom!"
"For friendship, for freedom!" the three bottles of beer gently collided together with a pleasant crunch.
In such bad weather, the power in the mine was cut off due to the recent wind and rain, and the miners who worked on weekdays were naturally nested in the buoyant rubber house that was constantly shaking up and down. This kind of rubber house that has been specially treated will not easily bite even the sharp crocodile teeth. Even if there is a breakage, there is a strict sealing device in the middle to ensure the buoyancy of the rubber house. From time to time, loud laughter and swearing could be heard from the rubber tents around them, accompanied by whistles and heckling.
These absenteeism is indeed very good-spirited, and it seems that as long as there is something happy, they can forget all the unhappiness.
Ralph smiled and pointed to the scar on Kayari's face and said to Ye Tian: "This mercenary group formed by the old scarface was quite beautiful at that time. Do you know how he was slashed? He slept with a woman in the caravan, and was stabbed in the bed. I didn't see him this time, I thought he was beaten to death, but I didn't expect it to be a rubber tent to transport water overnight. ”
Pulling the pistol from Kayari's waist, Kayari just shook his head with a smile and smiled wryly, not asking Ralph what he was doing with his pistol. ”
Seeing Ralph pull out a scarf and blindfold his eyes, Kayari smiled and said, "It's not just simple things like tents, you kid have to compete with me, right? You couldn't beat me before, and you can't beat me now." Then he said to Ye Tian: "When the rain is not so heavy, I will take you to the mountains to have a look, those heavy big guys are all lying in camouflage cloth." As soon as an enemy enters a range of ten kilometers, we will find them. Hmph, when the time comes, they will be inexplicably blown into powder from five kilometers away. Shoot from the top and down, believing that those who dare to attack will taste the pain. ”
"You're on the radar?" Ralph rubbed his hands vigorously, making his fingers warmer and more flexible.
"Not only the radar, but recently the boss imported a few helicopter gunships from Europe, hehe, that's a nightmare for tanks and armored vehicles!"
"Damn! Do you bosses want to set up a regime?" Ralph, who has been engaged in the arms business in Europe, naturally knew what this meant. If armored vehicles are the terminator of Africa, then the gunship known as the tank opener is the nightmare of the Terminator. And only those with greater ambitions would get back such a big killer from Europe.
"In the depths of the three mines, the exploration team found a very large reserve of gold, I said very huge, do you understand? It is estimated that it is more than ten times the size of the first mine, and the first mine has been mined for ten years, what is the concept of ten times? Do you think the boss can not be nervous? This news seems to have leaked a little, and the boss is also helpless, so he sold a part of the shares of the gold mine to the European man in exchange for two helicopter gunships, five German Tiger tanks, five German 'destruction' ultra-long-range self-propelled guns, ten armored personnel carriers, I bought a lot of American M41s again. ”
Ralph jerked the mover on his eyes, and his tone trembled a little: "How much did he get on M41?"
"Ten thousand, smuggled from the Somali region, escorted by an American frigate. Kayari said proudly.
"Hiss~" Ralph gasped, his eyes a little straightened. The 10,000 original imported M41s in service in the United States are not those old-fashioned AK47s that fly into the sky as soon as they pull the trigger bullet, these are all very sophisticated American equipment. Once the army is equipped, let's not talk about the problem of attacking it, but also say that there will be no problem in holding the mine.
"10,000, which can equip 8,000 mercenaries. Ralph looked at the smiling Kayari suspiciously, "It seems too extravagant to say that these things are just defense, right?"
Kayari smiled, "I think I can be on this stage again." The boss sold a part of the shares of the gold mine, got the friendship of many people, and now, it is time to fight a battle of limited expansion outward. ”
Ralph looked at Kayari in amazement, punched Kayari in the shoulder, and scolded with a smile: "You kid, you have been deceived again! Your boss has not had this ambition for so many years, it seems that the gold mine discovered this time is a large amount, and ten times it is just a way to attract mercenaries." ”
Hearing Ralph's words, Kayari couldn't help but nod and said, "You kid is still so shrewd, this time the veins are more than ten times that of a mine. Kayari lowered his voice: "This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that an associated vein has been discovered next to the gold mine, which is more valuable than gold and diamonds!"
Only then did Ye Tian understand that the gold reserves explored this time were not ten times the original at all, and it was very likely to be dozens or even hundreds of times the original. And there is an associated mine that is worth more than gold. With these vast amounts of wealth, it is not surprising that one person's enormous ambitions can be supported. The dream of a mercenary in Kayari's heart has never been shattered, he is just quietly waiting for the opportunity, and now that the opportunity has come, how can he let it go?
Pick up the cloth from the table, blindfold it, and caress the gun like a woman caressing herself.
"Over the years, I've bet everything I've had on my boss like a bet, and everything hasn't changed!" Kayari sighed, snapped, pressed the timer on the table, and disassembled the gun with both hands as nimbly as flipping flowers.
Eleven seconds six!
Kayari triumphantly removed the cloth, only to find Ralph grinning at him eerily.
"Not convinced, come, whoever loses tonight will drink a big bowl!"
Ralph slapped his face: "Okay! Whoever loses will drink a big bowl!" After speaking, for fear that Kayari would regret it, he hurriedly dragged Ye Tian over.
"You bet what I'm going to do. Ye Tian smiled and waved his hand.
"You're faster than me?"
Ralph smirked at Kayari, "You're waiting for a drink at night! You're definitely not the only super mercenary!"
