944.Chaos Nation (part 3/5)
Li Du said disdainfully: "What kind of guerrillas, it's the anti-government army, right? A group of mentally retarded people who kill innocents indiscriminately deserve to be cleaned up by the government army." ”
Wang Zhongshi smiled bitterly: "Congo and Zambia are like this, living here, you must be prepared to encounter battles at any time. ”
As he spoke, he lifted his clothes, revealing a holster around his waist, and inside was a black pistol.
Li Du shook his head and said, "It's too dangerous here, I really don't know what kind of life you have spent in Congo all these years, why are you still staying here?
Wang Zhongshi took a deep breath and shook his head, and said, "Congo is quite dangerous, but if you are used to life here, you will understand that it is much cooler here than in China." ”
Li Du didn't have the idea of preaching, he was frightened today, and subconsciously wanted to persuade Wang Zhongshi to stay away from this country.
The tragic scene at the airfield was still dangling in front of him, and he estimated that the attack had caused 40 or 50 casualties, and that the death toll could have been at least half, more than 20.
He introduced the situation, and Wang Zhongshi said lightly: "Oh, the guerrillas are really weasels and rats, and a litter is not as good as a litter." ”
Li Du was surprised: "What does this mean?"
Wang Zhongshi said with a smile: "They didn't make much of a scene, and they only killed and injured dozens of people, which is not a big deal, and usually dozens of people have to be killed or injured in the mine." ”
Li Du was surprised, a place like Congo is too chaotic, right?
He asked: "Is the law and order here like this? Is the chaos like this? I haven't seen much information in China or in the United States, and I think Africa is already stable." ”
Wang Zhongshi lit a cigarette, took a puff and said, "You know, millions of people died during the Rwandan massacre, right?"
Li Du nodded, and Wang Zhongshi said: "This is a great event, right? Then let me ask you, how many people know about this matter in your country and the United States?"
There was no need for Li Du to answer, he smiled bitterly: "Not many people know, right? Africa is like this, no one cares about the life or death of Africa, this is the place where the world abandons." ”
When the two young men who came with him heard this, they couldn't help but take out their cigarettes and light them, and it was obvious that they felt very sad when they said this.
Wang Zhongshi came over and wanted to take him to his mine, which was only about 100 kilometers away from the airport, and it would take an hour and a half to drive quickly.
After the violent incident at the airport, Li Du didn't have the heart to go out for a walk, he just wanted to rest in the hotel.
In this way, Wang Zhongshi asked the middle-aged driver to go out to buy food and drinks, and they had something to eat in the hotel.
Li Du is a foodie, and before coming to Africa, he was researching local products and cuisine.
Despite all the unbearable problems in Africa, one thing is known for the abundance of food, and there are places where there are abundant supplies and there is no need to work hard to get enough food to fill your stomach.
It is precisely for this reason that some Africans have developed the habit of being lazy and lazy.
There are no living quarters around the airport, and the food that the strong drivers buy back is mostly steaks, fried fish, fried meat, and the like.
However, one of the fried meats has some interest, and it is the famous local crocodile meat.
Sophie was insensitive to crocodile meat, she shook her head and said, "I don't want to discourage you during the meal, but crocodiles have a lot of parasites in their bodies, and some of the eggs are resistant to high temperatures, and frying them may not kill them." ”
Wang Zhongshi said with a smile: "The local crocodile meat has experience, first soaked in a medicinal herb, specially to kill insects, then frozen, and finally fried, the safety is no problem." ”
Li Du's eyes were still floating in front of those stump fragments, and he was not interested in meat, so he took some fruit to eat.
Congo is rich in all kinds of fruits, bananas, pineapples, watermelons, mangoes, oranges, and even in winter, there are many fruits for sale.
The driver is very good at handling things, and the food he buys is very generous.
Li Du took a pineapple when he took the fruit, but the tail of the pineapple was cut open, and when it was opened, it was similar to pineapple rice, but it was more hearty than pineapple rice, with cream and shrimp in it.
Wang Zhongshi asked Li Du what he was doing, and Li Du felt that it was indispensable to guard against people, so he said: "The Winston Group has a lot of business in South Africa, and I came here to meet customers and visit some mines on behalf of the group. ”
Thinking that Wang Zhongshi had been in Congo for many years, his heart moved, and he asked: "Brother Wang, do you have a diamond mine over there?" If so, we can cooperate, and the price should be good. ”
Wang Zhongshi smiled bitterly: "You look down on Brother Wang, we are playing with low-end mines like copper and iron ore, diamonds and gold, we can't play it." ”
A young man who was munching on crocodile meat skewers said: "Copper and iron mine reclamation is very troublesome, relatively speaking, the profits are not particularly large, and the local powerful people do not look down on it. If we change to a diamond mine and a gold mine, they will definitely kill us and take over the mine themselves. ”
These words reminded Li Du that his place was not a developed country like Australia, but Africa, and order was maintained by fists and force.
After two days of emergency repairs at the airport, one of the least damaged runways was repaired, and Li Du and the others decided to leave, albeit to South Africa.
South Africa has not been very safe since the black people came under control, but the political situation is much better than in places like the Democratic Republic of the Congo, at least there are no guerrillas or rebels.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Africa are separated by two countries, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe is also in a bad situation now, and when I chatted with Wang Zhongshi, Wang Zhongshi said that he had been there once, and Zimbabwe's monetary system had long since collapsed and the economy was finished.
It just so happened that the country was hit by a severe drought, food was scarce, and the country was in chaos, with some poor people even making biscuits from clay to feed their hunger.
He warned Li Dubei not to go to Zimbabwe, where the locals would do everything possible to rob outsiders, and yellow people like them looked to the locals as walking wallets.
After this series of events, Li Du's longing for Africa has dissipated, and he only wants to reach South Africa safely.
Fortunately, the violent attack at the airport had consumed all their bad luck, and the plane made its way to Johannesburg, the golden city of Africa.
Having just experienced the chaos in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and learning about the poverty in Zimbabwe, Li Du and the others were a little unwell after arriving in Johannesburg.
Johannesburg is the largest city and economic capital of South Africa, the whole city is modern and bustling, the noise and bustle are completely different from the big cities in Europe and the United States, and the architectural styles are also diverse.
Cole helped them contact the connector, and the other party's name was Kofi-Lion Hunter-Zilchisaka, in fact, his name was very long, and there were a series of names at the end, but the pronunciation was strange, and Li Du couldn't remember it.
The lion hunter was a local tyrant and arranged for a Lincoln to pick them up.
As the car entered the city, Li Du looked at Johannesburg and felt that the city was quite like the United States, with high-rise buildings, busy traffic, and white and black people scattered on the streets.
