(kneel and beg for collection, recommendation)

Wilmots's sudden words surprised Yang Tianlong.

"Sir, what are you buying the land for the airport?"

Wilmots smiled lightly and shook the fire under his feet with the branch in his hand, "Recently, I heard that the airport there is going to be expanded. I felt that it could be a business opportunity. ”

Although the largest aircraft that can be landed at Bunia's current airport are Boeing 737 or Airbus 320, it is more than enough for such a remote area.

"Is this going to be developed?" Yang Tianlong asked after taking a sip of tea.

Wilmots shook his head and spread his hands, "I don't know, I just listened to Raff." He said that the runway in Bunia was not of good quality and needed to be reinforced. ”

"I think it's better to wait and see, after all, it's too remote. For close friends, Yang Tianlong does not beat around the bush.

"You mean you don't know what the purpose of the airport is?" Wilmots asked.

Yang Tianlong thought about it and nodded: "Sort of." ”

"That's just as well. If it's a military airfield, then I'll pay for it. Wilmots said.

"Can the Congolese government come up with money to build it?" Yang Tianlong was skeptical about the Congolese government's economic capacity.

Wilmots shook his head, "Surely I can't take it out." It is estimated that there is help from abroad behind it. By the way, in the Kinshasa and Lubumbasi areas, there are a lot of you Chinese. ”

When Wilmots mentioned the Chinese, Yang Tianlong thought of Manager Liu, who remembered that Manager Liu had told him that there might be civil strife in the Congolese presidential election.

"Sir, do you know about the Congolese government's general election next year?" said Yang Tianlong, looking at Wilmots.

Wilmots nodded, "Yes." At present, the current president of the Congo does not have a high approval rating, and the opposition parties are very hopeful of pulling him down. ”

"If the current president can't do it, will he give up?" asked Yang Tianlong with a serious face.

"No, it won't. Not only him, but also the opposition parties, so the incumbent president is trying to postpone the election date. ”

"If he can't solve the opposition, the consequences will be unimaginable. Yang Tianlong sighed softly.

"More than 10 years ago, there was a mass genocide in Congo. After drinking a cup of tea, Wilmots slowly told Yang Tianlong about the genocide more than ten years ago.

With more than 400 tribes, the Congo is the largest in the world, and under the long period of colonial rule and autocratic rule, tribal tensions have been mixed with class and economic contradictions, which have deepened. The two tribes of Ituri province——— Homer and Lando, have long disliked and distrusted each other. During the colonial and authoritarian periods, the two tribes were able to coexist and maintain relative peace, but the entry of Ugandan troops into the area in xxxx due to the Congolese civil war broke the fragile harmony between the two tribes.

On October x, just 40 kilometers north of Bunia, hundreds of Lando militants ransacked several Homeric villages one after another, slaughtering about 1,000 Homers.

The attack was called by a horn and lasted only two hours. The scene was extremely cruel, and the Lando people dissected the corpses of many Homers and made their own "feast" with the hot hearts and livers. However, that massacre was only a prelude, and even more terrible was about to happen.

The Du people went from house to house, they kicked open the door, pulled the Homer out of bed, out of the closet, from under the bed, dragged him out into the street and shot him. They shouted, "All Homers come out, the Landus have arrived!" and after the massacre, they marched through the empty streets in celebration, waving the arms of the dead!

In anticipation of the retreat of the Ugandan army, hundreds of homer and rando militants gathered in the mountains on the outskirts of Bunia, Homer's militia was in a state of disbandment after being defeated by the Ugandan army a month earlier, but the Landu continued to train and slowly approach the town.

The last Ugandan soldier is expected to leave in two weeks. The Homers knew that when that time came, the Lando would immediately encroach on the town. And the Homers among the inhabitants of Bunia would become the center of the "hunt". Everyone had a premonition of the imminent Holocaust. After the complete withdrawal of Ugandan troops, the Lando militants were ready to wash Bunia in blood, and the United Nations representative in the Congo invited the leaders of the Landu and Homeric communities to Bunia for peace talks. But they were not asked to hand over their weapons.

When the militants of the Landu clan first appeared on the streets, the peaceful life ended. They strode down the streets, stopping in front of every restaurant to ask for beers, Kalashnikov rifles and bullet bags to hang over their shoulders. Before sunset, the handful of the Lando militia took over the whole of Bunia, and Homers were no longer to be seen on the streets, and legend has it that the Landu militia had a bad habit of killing a person walking in the streets before the sun went down, discarding the corpse in the streets and leaving it to rot.

In Bunia, Wilmots became acquainted with Cole, the brigade commander of the Ugandan army. General Kayla, who is the commander-in-chief of the Ugandan army in Congo. They often talk together, and he is directing his troops to withdraw from the Congo in Bunia. UN peacekeepers may be able to provide some food to the Homers, but they will not save their lives. The United Nations did not expect that it was the presence of the Ugandan army that would prevent future massacres. It must be admitted that the Ugandan army is by no means a good class, but only they can be the "law" between the Homers and the Lando.

General Kayla said, "The Lando are beasts, they have no conscience, and they do not repent. One of my soldiers was boiled and eaten by them, and it was not uncommon for them to be beheaded, mutilated, and tongue-cut. You say, can the GIs of the United Nations deal with such people?"

......

Mr. Wilmots, who told this story with tears in his eyes, told Yang Tianlong that due to the further increase in the unrest and forced to be safe, he had to return to Belgium with the local Belgians, and it was not until half a year later that everything calmed down, and then he returned to Bunia, where he remains today.

After listening to Wilmots's account, Yang Tianlong was shocked, he didn't expect such a bloody tragedy to happen in Bunia.

"We don't want to see that day come again. Wilmots said with a serious face, "So, I invited a lot of friends here. ”

"Mr. Raff was also invited by you?" asked Yang Tianlong.

Wilmots nodded, "Yes, he's a good soldier, and I hope his strength will shake up here." ”

"Sometimes it's not enough to be alone. Yang Tianlong told him very seriously.

"But our outside forces are so strong that the world knows about Bunia and Lake Albert, and I don't think they dare to come nonsense. Mr. Wilmots said excitedly, "Do you know that after Raff arrived, we formed the Bunia Peace Commando, which includes some soldiers with special skills, and we will always make our own contribution to the peace of Bunia. ”

Yang Tianlong nodded, with a look of admiration, "Sir, what you did was right. ”

"So I chose to stay here. Wilmots smiled sheepishly, "I hope tomorrow will be better here." ”

"I'd love to join your team if I could. Yang Tianlong told him.

"Really?" Wilmots didn't expect that the biggest gain of the day would be the addition of a truly peace-loving close friend.

"Of course. Yang Tianlong raised his teacup as he spoke, "Let's wish that there will be no more wars in Bunia, and that peace here will last forever." ”

Wilmots nodded, then raised his teacup as well.

Before leaving, Wilmots told Yang that their team would get together every Friday afternoon, and since they had joined the team, they should not forget to come over.

Yang Tianlong nodded and raised his hands high, high-fived Wilmots, and said, "No problem." ”

After sending Wilmots away, the bonfire gradually went out. Just as he got up to wash, suddenly there was a rustling in the nearby thorn forest.
