Chapter 631: The Rebels' Needs

"The only photographs taken in my life are their posthumous photos." This is a true portrayal of the life of the vast majority of Eswatini.

It is such a posthumous photo, which is something that people dream of, and only foreigners who go to the country for interviews and humanitarian assistance will take a "luxurious" photo for free for those who are struggling to survive.

In such a poor country, its monarch is choosing concubines luxuriously, buying luxury cars, helicopters, and taking countless princesses to live a life of fine clothes and food in the palace, regardless of the hunger of the people, causing domestic contradictions to become increasingly prominent.

Sounds a lot like Chinese history at the end of the Qing Dynasty, doesn't it? In fact, the collapse of almost every regime is replicating this process! If you see a regime that is gradually developing in such a direction, and it has become an irreversible trend, then it is not far from subversion!

Isn't that how the former Soviet Union collapsed? The list goes on! It doesn't matter what kind of structure you have, whether you are feudalism or capitalism or socialism, whether you are an advanced Soviet Union or a backward North Korea, who breaks first has nothing to do with these, it can only be the most erosive one!

……

It is only when faced with a major event that people know how much or how small the power they have.

And what Wang Zhuo knows this time is how much power he has!

In a country with a population of one million, the most desirable job for ordinary people is to work in the Coca-Cola company's factories and earn a dollar a day, and most people's desire is just to have food every day and not let the whole family go hungry.

The reality is so "realistic", the net profit of a Big Man reinforced ship is 90 million US dollars per month, which is not counting the profit brought by "daigou", which is equivalent to a net income of 3 million US dollars per day, and 54% of the employed population in Eswatini does not add up to one million US dollars per day.

If Wang Zhuo comes up with the income from a strengthened boat to fund the country, then the people of the whole country will be able to eat enough immediately!

After a series of complicated procedures, the Xiangyun pierced the sky on a golden evening and flew to Johannesburg, South Africa.

Johannesburg is a stopover for tourists on their way to Eswatini, where there are two daily flights to Eswatini, and of course there are cheaper coaches, and since the start of the coup, the airport in Manzini, Eswatini's largest city, has been taken over by rebels and all flights have been cancelled.

Wang Zhuo is the first time to set foot in this "hot land" of Africa, fortunately, it is winter, the temperature of this largest city in South Africa, known as the city of gold, is not high, and although it is closer to the equator than Jiangzhou in latitude, it is actually an inland plateau city, in this season and Jiangzhou's climate is almost the same, the same temperature, the same dry and little rain.

It is the largest city in South Africa, but unlike other large cities in the world, it is not located close to the water source, but because it is surrounded by dozens of gold mines, and it is a metropolis built entirely on gold mining.

But this is also a "capital of unemployment", the unemployment rate of up to forty percent makes it the place with the highest crime rate, and there are endless cases of robbery, *** and homicide, so Wang Zhuo does not allow his people to go out shopping or play without security, so as not to cause trouble.

Wang Zhuo was greeted at the airport by Johannesburg Mayor Fennard, this kind of reception seems to be indeed very high, but Wang Zhuo has already reached this height, you must know that when Gates visited China, it was the No. 1 chief who received him.

In fact, if Wang Zhuo feels it necessary, or if he is doing an official business visit, most countries in the world will arrange for heads of state to receive him, including the President of the United States!

Mayor Fennal is a black and white Humpty Dumpty, philistine and shrewd, in order to welcome the king of wealth from the East, he specially organized a team temporarily, including political dignitaries and celebrities, business bigwigs, and some spokespersons of local forces, and is very much looking forward to reaching some commercial cooperation with Wang Zhuo, that is, to add a strong sum to his political achievements, which can be regarded as for the benefit of the people.

Wang Zhuo was delayed for three days, and Mayor Fenal finally won four commercial cooperation projects, which can be said to be a full load, and after the guests and hosts had their best, Wang Zhuo began to entertain and deal with some various people.

Football stars, movie stars, singers, South Africa is definitely not short of these big names, and the Eswatini rebel leaders arranged by Maimon quietly mixed in the entourage of a singer and met Wang Zhuo at the Hilton Hotel where Wang Zhuo stayed.

In contrast, the An Qi sisters, Siyuan and Bai Lu, who came with Wang Zhuo, were obviously more interested in the black rock singer known as the "genius girl", while Yang Ru and Qu Jingyou, who came together as "guests", were more interested in these political matters and were Wang Zhuo's dog-headed military advisors.

Eswatini has two official languages, the local Swati and the international English, and of the four people who came to meet Wang Zhuo in secret, three were proficient in English, while the other could only half-understand but could not speak.

On Wang Zhuo's side, he, Yang Ru and Qu Jingyou are all fluent in English, so there is no obstacle to the communication between the two sides.

The four people from Eswatini dressed as the bodyguards and entourage of the black girl singer, but they were also decent, in fact, Wang Zhuo suddenly ran to Johannesburg to visit at this juncture of the Eswatini coup d'Γ©tat, which itself was suspicious, so Wang Zhuo's meeting with these four guys could not be hidden from some people with a heart.

In fact, he doesn't intend to hide it, isn't this a good opportunity to release signals to some forces?

In the living room of the presidential suite, Wang Zhuo and Yang Ru and Qu Jingyou received Mann and his party.

On the day he moved in, Wang Zhuo found that two bugs and a pinhole camera had been quietly installed in the room, these three things were very well hidden, but his clairvoyant eye easily found them.

He unceremoniously dismantled the three valuable treasures and threw them to Siyuan, and nothing like them was found since.

"King of China, I am amazed by your youth!" Mann expressed his emotion and surprise to Wang Zhuo, and there was no flattery in his tone.

Mann is a twenty-eight-year-old rebel general, in fact, there are only more than a thousand men and hundreds of guns under his command, but this is already a strong military force in Eswatini. On the one hand, there are many factions and intrigues among the rebels, and on the other hand, the king is still in the country, and if he gets help from the United States, he may return to China at any time with the "peacekeeping force" for restoration.

This is a wise saying in Chinese history, and the rebel leaders seem to understand this truth, so what they need most at present is the support of international forces, to obtain a batch of weapons and materials as soon as possible, so that the country can restore normal order, so as to gain broad support from the people.

"General Mann is young too, I'm just a businessman, and you're doing something big that will go down in history textbooks." Wang Zhuo smiled faintly: "So I admire you very much." ”

Don't look at Mann, who only has more than 1,000 people and hundreds of guns, he really deserves to be a general in China, in troubled times, when Qin Jingzhong and Yang Jingyu were "mixed", they were just a small guerrilla, and Lao Yang was not honored as "General Jingyu"?

Who doesn't like to hear compliments? And a compliment from the king of fortune! Mann immediately smiled, and the King of Fortune's approachability made him feel like a spring breeze, and he was even more full of anticipation for this meeting.

Of the three people who came with Mann, the twenty-five-year-old Siveni was the representative of the other faction, and the relationship with Mann was more delicate, and McCarhy, who could only listen to English but could not speak, was a joint representative of several indigenous forces, although he came to supervise and give advice, but his limited vision and status doomed him to be a soy sauce player. The other is Mann's lieutenant, who is the only one who looks ahead.

The reason why the rebels sent Mann to lead the team to contact Wang Zhuo is a bit complicated, on the one hand, it is related to Mai Meng's contact with the rebels' middlemen, and on the other hand, because the rebels are now very prominent in internal contradictions, and the struggle for power is almost white-hot, and the heads of many big forces can't leave at all.

"General Mann, I think my friend has already told you what I mean." Wang Zhuo smiled in fluent British English and said, "So now I want to hear with my own ears, what kind of assistance do you need most in your country at present?" ”

Needless to ask, what is needed most must be military supplies! The four of them looked at each other briefly, and the question of the King of Fortune was expected by everyone.

But before coming, the rebels also had a great degree of understanding of Wang Zhuo's people and affairs, they knew that Wang Zhuo "could not provide arms", so they came for Wang Zhuo's money, to put it bluntly, if Wang Zhuo could provide arms, it would not be Mann's turn to see Wang Zhuo, the leader of the second echelon, and the three giants above would definitely break their heads in order to see Wang Zhuo!

"We need food very badly." Mann said with a solemn expression: "Now the country is in a state of ***, several channels for importing food have been blocked, if there is no effective rescue, it will soon cause a large-scale famine." ”

Wang Zhuo looked at him with a smile, the expression of this black general seemed to be very sincere, but under the perceptive perspective eyes, Wang Zhuo saw four words called insincerity.

He nodded slightly, and said deliberately: "I can help you with this, which is more convenient for you, dollars or food?" ”

"Dollars, of course!" Sivenny's eyes lit up, and he rushed out to answer the question on behalf of Mann.

Yang Ru and Qu Jingyu's calm expressions quietly revealed a playful smile, this Siveni is obviously simple-minded than Mann, you want dollars or food, who doesn't know that you are going to buy arms?
