Two hundred and seventy-two. harvest
The soldiers of the Dawen Empire, who held the disguised "slaughter order", did not need to pay attention to benevolence, righteousness and morality on this primitive continent, and the soldiers of the Dawen Empire completely became a group of robbers and robbers.

Organized, equipped, and without moral restraints, the bandits in military uniforms of the Dawen Empire, armed with steel guns, viciously pounced on the black charcoal, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and the bad ones are always sheep and not tigers.
The war launched by the Dawen Empire can be regarded as bringing extinction to the black charcoal head here. During the fifteen-day sweep, the Dawen Empire wiped out a total of twenty-one black charcoal tribes, including 4 large tribes, 12 medium-sized tribes, and 5 small tribes, and annihilated the black carbon heads, well, it should be said that it was a massacre, and the slaughter of black carbon heads was more than 50,000 people, and the specific number could not be counted.
But the troops of the Dawen Empire also paid a price, sacrificing 47 people and wounding 153 people, of which 85 were seriously injured, in fact, they really sacrificed very few in the battle, basically in the process of marching, they were injured by the terrifying creatures in the jungle.
Especially in the later period, due to the excessive consumption of realgar, there is not much left in the hands of the soldiers, coupled with the continuous battle and marching, the soldiers are overtired, on the way back, the probability of being attacked by poisoned snakes and poisonous insects in the jungle has risen sharply, and the casualties have increased sharply in addition to the attack of wild beasts.
When the soldiers of the Dawen Empire walked out of the jungle, they were all ragged, mentally atrophied, and had a vegetable face, although Li Rujin had allowed the soldiers to nourish the war with war and replenish supplies on the spot, but the dark cuisine of the African black charcoal head really made it difficult for the soldiers of the Dawen Empire to eat, and they would rather go back hungry than eat those damn food alive.
So when these soldiers of the Dawen Empire came out of the jungle, they were like beggars, and the landing site became a gathering place for beggars.
The logistics staff had already prepared enough food, large bowls of meat, large pieces of fish, and a small amount of wine, the Dawen Empire explicitly forbade drinking in the army, but Li Rujin still prepared some for the returning soldiers.
After three days of rest, the soldiers were able to catch their breath, the food on their faces was gone, and their sluggish spirits were lifted again. The rotten and undeformed military uniforms have long been replaced and destroyed in a centralized manner.
The battle was over, but the hidden gold had not yet been retrieved, and the warriors set sail again, returning to the jungle to retrieve the gold and diamonds.
Fifteen days of fighting and living in the jungle was not only a test of blood and or, but also a great experience of jungle life.
At this time, these warriors of the Dawen Empire were qualified jungle warriors.
Coming to the abandoned tribal camp, only a few days after leaving, these tribes are already overgrown with weeds, and there are many wild animals roaming in these camps, seeing the soldiers of the Dawen Empire dare to bare their teeth, waiting for them are hot bullets.
These killed wild animals will not be picked up and eaten, these animals have eaten the corpse of the black charcoal head, they are animals that have eaten human flesh, and there is a taboo in their hearts.
A large amount of gold was transported out of the jungle and concentrated at the landing site, and at this time, the soldiers of the Dawen Empire began to regret that they should have left some black charcoal to help transport the gold. Because there is so much gold.
The gold piled up at the landing site was already close to 100 tons, and the bright gold dazzled the eyes of the soldiers of the Dawen Empire, and there was a small pile of diamonds on the side of the gold, and the number was enough to tens of thousands.
Although the diamond has not been polished and is not yet a diamond, it still exudes a dazzling brilliance in the bright African sun, stimulating the nerves of the soldiers of the Dawen Empire. What a fortune!
The gold was rearranged, weighed, and then transported to the flagship and stacked with the gold obtained earlier in Somalia. The diamonds were also packed in cloth bags and transported back to the flagship.
The specific quantities have been counted, and the total is 97 tons of more than 758 kilograms of gold, and the total of diamond is 32.5 kilograms. You read that right, diamonds here are measured in kilograms.
How many carats is 32.5 kg? One gram is equal to five carats, one kilogram is equal to 5,000 carats, 32.5 kilograms is equal to 162,500 carats, and 160,000 carats!! These diamonds alone are an astonishing asset. Coupled with gold, this wealth has exceeded Li Rujin's expectations.
It has only been more than 4 months since the invasion of Africa, and the Dawen Empire has plundered about 150 tons of gold, about 40 kilograms of diamonds, and 200,000 carats from the African continent.
The whole of Africa has an area of 30 million square kilometers, but the place that the Dawen Empire has plundered is only tens of thousands of square kilometers, and there is a bigger world waiting for the army of the Dawen Empire to plunder, thinking of this, Li Rujin is also a little confused.
If you think about it carefully, there are still large areas of deserts and mountains in Africa, except for these places, the area to be robbed is not too large, and even so, Africa's gold stock is a terrifying number.
But think about it, thousands of years of wealth have been accumulated here, and it is normal for Africa to have a stock of thousands of tons of gold, you must know that Africa is the region with the most gold reserves in the world.
In previous lives, the earth, such as South Africa, Ghana, and Mali were all major gold producing countries, with annual gold production of more than hundreds of tons. The total value of gold in Africa has reached $1.5 trillion.
Africa is a huge cornucopia, and now this cornucopia is in the hands of the Dawen Empire, and Africa will continue to provide gold, diamonds, etc. to the Dawen Empire to provide sufficient financial support for the economic development of the Dawen Empire.
Thinking of this, Li Rujin felt that the Dawen Empire should increase its invasion of Africa, and then send enough troops and manpower over, and there were gold mines in Africa for the Dawen Empire to come to mine.
Thinking of this, Li Rujin was moved, shouldn't it be time to go back, it's been four months since he came out, and he is homesick, plus so much gold and diamonds, well, it's really time to go back, and by the way, bring a big surprise to the top of the empire.
Before returning, we have to make a trip to Somalia, where surprises may await.
Somalia does have a surprise waiting for Li Rujin, Zuo Zhongyuan after Li Rujin left, increased the intensity and speed of the invasion of the Somali region, just when Li Rujin launched an attack on the southern African region, the troops of the Dawen Empire in Somalia also launched a large-scale military operation against the surrounding areas of the Ava tribe.
Although it can't be compared with Li Rujin's side in terms of scale, the action is not small, and the troops of the Dawen Empire in Somalia have paid a lot of costs, but compared to the gains obtained, these costs are nothing.
