In the jungle 3 kilometers northwest of Kalemie, an uninvited passenger drove a pickup truck along a potholed dirt road, which would not have been possible to drive if it were not for the dry season.

"Stop!" A black soldier at the checkpoint walked out with an AK47 and shouted at the comer.

"I'm here to see Colonel Kurtu, and I have something important to discuss. Please let this brother report it. "As Colonel Lazaro was an important eyeliner in Calemie, Jacques. Legit knew very well how to deal with these local warlords, and as he replied, he took out a few Congolese francs, and sure enough, the sentinel's attitude became much kinder as soon as he received the money.

"What's the matter with us?" The sentry followed the usual question, to pass on the news to the chief, it is not enough to have an important matter to discuss, "It's about a batch of munitions, I think Colonel Kurtu will be interested." "Jacqua. Laijit pretended to be mysterious and said that for Kurtu, who is in the waning mountains, in addition to money, it is estimated that arms are the most important.

Sure enough, when the sentry heard this, the smile on his face became even worse, "Ndia, call the chief, and say that there is an arms dealer visiting outside." He shouted at another soldier at the checkpoint. After speaking, the sentry carried the AK47 on his back, "I'm sorry, according to the rules, we don't allow strangers to bring weapons into the camp, please understand this distinguished guest." ”

Jacquard. Of course, Laijit knew the rules of these warlords, and without saying a word, he stretched out his hands and let the sentry search him. Kurtu talks about business, naturally, he doesn't carry any weapons.

As soon as the body search was completed, the sentry named Ndia in the checkpoint had already leaned out, "Kijaba, the boss asked you to accompany this gentleman in!" ”

Camp under a big tree, card. Kurtu looked coldly at the arms dealer who came to the door, and a terrifying scar on his face trembled slightly. Banga occupies, Ka. Kurtu is already running out of money, his soldiers are getting fewer and smaller, and his weapons and equipment are getting more and more dilapidated. The chances of Kurtu's comeback are slim, so if the transaction is not settled in cash, almost no one will sell him weapons.

Today someone actually came to the door unusually, if it wasn't for something else, card. Kurtu would not believe it if he was killed.

"Hello, Colonel Kurtu, can you take a step to speak?" Jacquard. Laijit came today to send a great fortune to Kurtu, and his heart was naturally full of confidence, and he pretended not to see the card. Cautious, Kurtu smiled and said, "I have a big deal I want to talk to you about today. ”

Card. Kurtu looks at Jacques. Laijit looked fearless, and glanced at Ndia who followed in, "Chief, I've searched it, and I didn't bring any guys." "Ndia has followed Ka. Kurtu for several years and naturally knows the card. Kurtu wanted to know what so flatteringly to the card. Kurtu said.

Card. Hearing what Ndia said, Kurtu waved his hand and motioned for the people around him to retreat, since the other party did not bring a weapon, then this uninvited guest was unlikely to be an assassin, this is his own lair, facing a bare-handed Jacka. Come to Git, Kurtu is not scared yet.

"I am Colonel Lazaro on the other side of the river, the envoy of Jacques. Coming to Git, I came here today to talk to the Colonel about a big deal, I don't know if the Colonel is interested. "Jacqua. When Laijit saw that the people around Kurtu were far away, he said straight to the point.

Colonel Lazaro gave him three hours to get things done here. There is no need to have the same card to come to Git. Kurtu went around in circles again.

Sure enough, after listening to Jacques. Come to the git, card. Kurtu's eyes flashed, "Go on." "Card. Kurtu said in a deep voice, although Colonel Lazaro was a military representative of another country, but Ka. Kurtu didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the other party doing this, in his eyes, as long as it could bring him enough benefits, there was no point in any kind of country or sovereignty.

"Our chief, Colonel Lazaro, is very important to Betou. Bonga was very dissatisfied with the underground deal between Kalemi and Mpanda, and the Colonel knew that it was a very large oil and water deal, and there was no reason for Betou to do so. Banga monopolizes the benefits, but Betu. Banga was dismissive of our colonel's proposal to score half points," Jacques . "Therefore, our leader thinks that Calemie should be in charge of the work by someone else." ”

Card. When Kurtu heard this, although his face did not move at all, but his heart began to boil, for him this is a perfect opportunity to make a comeback, Colonel Lazaro on the other side is in charge of the security of this area of Mpanda, Ka. Naturally, Kurtu knew what strength he had, and if he was willing to form an alliance with him and take Betu. There is a real possibility that the Banga gang will be.

"What are Colonel Lazaro's plans?" Card. Kurtu asked, although a perfect opportunity was in front of him, Ka. Kurtu knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch, and Lazaro must have some harsh conditions for choosing him.

"Our boss thinks that Betu. Banga is very unsuitable to stay in Kalemie, and if the colonel is interested, our head will provide the colonel with 150 AK47s, 6 machine guns and 4 mortars "Jaka. Come to Git to know the card. Kurtu was already tempted, so he simply stated his side's intentions, "If the colonel thinks that these things are not enough to take Betu. Gbarnga, our leader can also send no more than 100 soldiers to fight with the colonel. ”

After listening to Jacques. Come to Git's these few words, Ka. Kurtu's face twitched uncontrollably, Colonel Lazaro did this, apparently making up his mind to take Betu. Banga was in a hurry to kill them all, and he didn't know about Betu. What did Banga do to make the other man so angry, but for himself, it was definitely a great thing.

"Mr. Laigit, after eradicating Betu. What else does Colonel Lazaro have in mind after Gbarnga? You might as well finish talking first. "Card. Kurtu now basically believes in Jacqua. Laijit's identity, because if it was sent by other forces to fool him, there was no need to say that, and now although Ka. Kurtu's men are not strong enough, but there are more than 200 outlaws, and if there are another 150 AK47s, Ka. Kurtu is also able to pull up a hundred or so cards so that the card. Kurtu had about 300 soldiers under his command, basically the same as Betu. The strength of Banga's men is equal, and with heavy firepower such as machine guns and mortars, if Colonel Lazaro sends another 100 soldiers, he can defeat Betu. The Banga gang is indeed very feasible.

Card. Kurtu believed that Colonel Lazaro could not have set any trap for him, for he and Colonel Lazaro did not have any affair or serious relationship with him.

Now, the card. Kurtu only wondered if Colonel Lazaro's offer was something he could afford.

"Our leader is very sincere, we count this batch of weapons as $30,000, if we need to send soldiers, $100 for each soldier, and if there are casualties, add $500 for each casualty soldier. In addition, in the future, we will share half of the income from the underground trade in Kalemie, and we will share 2% of the income from the Kalemi coal mine. "Jacqua. Laigit spoke out what Colonel Lazaro requested.

To be honest, although the price of this condition is not low, it is not outrageous, and the price of that batch of arms is even cheap compared to the price of the local market, after all, things like mortars are usually stuck. It is not easy to buy Kurtu even if you want to, compared to automatic rifles, this thing is scarce in quantity, and the price is relatively much higher.

As for laying down Betu. After Banga, Colonel Lazaro asked for a share of the proceeds in the card. Kurtu looks and also quite reasonable although that would mean later cards. Kurtu will give away at least tens of thousands of dollars a year, which seems to be a bit painful, but now the money is not his share.

Come to think of it, Ka. Kurtu vs. Jacqua. Laijit is even more unsuspicious, the world is all for profit, and Colonel Lazaro would have looked for him if it weren't for these green dollars? It's just in Betu. If Banga can't get it, he will kill the killer and simply find himself to eradicate it together. To put it bluntly, this is purely an exchange of interests. An income of tens of thousands of dollars a year, whether in Tanzania or Congo, is enough for you to live like an emperor. Think about it, most people in both countries now only earn one or two hundred dollars a year by hard work.

"Mr. Laigit," Ka. Kurtu made up his mind to cooperate with Lazaro, but there was one last question, "Since everyone is so honest, I will also tell you the truth, I can accept the conditions you offer, but" said here, Ka. Kurtu was a little embarrassed to speak.

"It's okay, what suggestion does the colonel have, you might as well put it forward to discuss and discuss" see the card. Kurtu stopped talking, Jacques. Laigit's heart tightened, thinking that the card. What other conditions does Kurtu have, he has made up his mind as long as it does not affect the cooperation between the two sides to attack Betu. Banga, Jacqua. Laijit was ready to agree.

"That's right, I've been short of money lately, and I don't know if you can slow down the cost of this batch of arms before we take Betu. After the bongka, it is paid again from the seizure. ”

Jacquard. When Laijit heard that it was such a question, his heart was relieved, and he pretended to think for a while. Kurtu has been in a bad situation lately, and the arms deal has always been a cash deal, and if he agrees too quickly, Kurtu will make new demands and cause trouble. "Well," said Laigit, pretending to be a little embarrassed, "Colonel, you know that we are also taking a lot of risks, and it is indeed difficult to do things without money, but this time, since the situation is special, I am bold enough to do it for our leader, and the Lord agrees, but after defeating Betu. After the bongka, it was hoped that the colonel would keep his promise to pay in a timely manner. ”

"Deal!" Card. Kurtu saw that the last problem was solved, and his heart was also relieved. A verbal agreement was reached in Laigit. Colonel Lazaro has thousands of elite Tanzanian soldiers at his disposal. A small local warlord like Kurtu is equivalent to a behemoth, and he will not offend such a person if he is idle, otherwise he will be like Betu. Like Gbarnga, Colonel Lazaro could have found other warlord forces to uproot him.
