Chapter 176: The Priest's Guerrillas
The mine is less than 40 kilometres from the camp in a straight line.
Joga and the others wandered around the jungle for more than ten days to find this place, but it only took the helicopter less than half an hour to fly to this place.
The Mi-8's cargo capacity is fantastic, with three Mi-8s bringing not only doctors, medicines, cooks, food, but also enough ammunition and fuel for a skirmish.
The old guy 'Cobra' was tired of flying his toucan as a reconnaissance plane, so he beat 'Fat Goose' with his fist and got the helicopter control of the fight.
Not only can the 'aces' fly fixed-wing fighters, helicopters are like toys to them.
When he came, he was fully armed and brought his own fuel, and he definitely didn't want to bring things back when he went back.
Joga admires these old guys, the only bad thing is that these old guys are too expensive to fight.
Forget about the rocket nest, that thing is cheap.
What anti-tank missiles do you want? There are two people sitting at the door of the cabin, and they can't kill people with machine guns?
With 12.7mm ammunition, what car can stop in Afica?
Joga glanced at the money-burning Mi-8 again, then hid the pain in his heart, and welcomed the three old men into the barracks where the smell of blood had not yet cleared.
Asking Antar to make them a pot of bitter local leaf tea, watching the three old guys drink it and then boasting a good tea to Antar with a clear conscience, Qiaojia was in a happier mood.
When he walked out of the barracks, he saw Father Gamore, Gemma Alexander, and TC coming together.
Father Gammor was the first to walk up to Joga, he bowed his head and was silent for a few seconds, then said, "I'm sorry, I had some misunderstanding with you before.
You have proved your kindness to the land......"
When Qiao Jia heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't, I don't need other people's affirmation, let alone put a high hat on me, this is my territory, of course I want to leave goodwill here."
If you're really sorry, you should find a way to get those people back on their feet.
Either they just stayed and continued to work, and of course I would provide fresh food and a salary.
Either they have to get out of here quickly, I can't raise so many people for nothing, and my money doesn't come from the wind. ”
Father Gamore was stunned for a moment, and then said with a sad expression: "Those people need a long time of cultivation and psychological treatment, otherwise they will never be able to return to their past state. ”
Joga was amused by Father Gamore's appearance, and he spread his hands and said, "Then do I still want to find them a psychiatrist, and by the way, give them an 80-day paid vacation?" ”
Saying that, Qiaojia shook his head and sneered, "Dude, although you have been staying in the jungle, you don't seem to know the poor.
What they want first is to 'live' before they can think about anything else.
People who have had this experience will not be able to return to their original state for the rest of their lives, but they are still alive, they have to eat if they are alive, and they have to work if they want to eat.
It doesn't have to work for me, but you can't eat and drink for nothing with me.
When they have a little savings, they can't help but think about what their lives should be like.
It is your right to bring them to pray, and I encourage you to do so, but if you want to turn them into moths, and it is me who gnaws at them, then I can't agree.
Because I don't have the budget for this, and I don't sympathize with people who can't stand up on their own when they can.
I don't discriminate against such people, but I don't help them. ”
After saying that, Choga looked at Father Gammour's face with a bitter expression, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "You may be a good person, but you really don't seem to know about the poor.
The poor are like weeds, they can grow with a little nourishment, they never ask for much.
I feel your kindness, but I can't help you make it happen.
Why don't you give the Vatican a call?
I promise that if they are willing to give generously, the support will fall into your hands.
When you have money, you can do whatever you want, and I promise I won't put obstacles in your way. ”
Father Gamore has a 'pity' that is unique to Europeans and Americans, that is, similar to the attitude of dog lovers towards dogs.
Some of them are indeed willing to pay real money to save the dogs that are about to be sent to the table, can you say that they are not kind?
These people are spoiled by the affluent life, all of them have a peculiar 'naivety'.
It would be irresponsible to arbitrarily classify them as obnoxious, and in fact this 'naivety' will be common when society has developed into a stage of affluence and people have been freed from poverty.
Except for those bastards who are all about doctrine in their mouths and business in their hearts, and keyboard warriors who are only responsible for online condemnation, those who really retain this kind of 'innocence' are actually quite cute sometimes.
But this kind of 'naivety' needs to be supported by the general environment, otherwise it will be regarded as a kind of 'arrogance'.
Even after spending a long time in the jungle, Father Gammour's 'high profile' is still there.
From Chowga's point of view, it is not uncomfortable to have private contact with someone like Father Gamore, but everyone is not on the same channel and cannot find a common language.
The empathy ability of these affectionate guys allows them to feel the pain of those laborers, but they still can't touch the hearts of the laborers, because they haven't really felt the despair that can't be seen at a glance!
After Father Gamore was rejected, he lowered his head and thought seriously for a long time, and then as if he had thought of something, he lifted his spirits and said in a rough voice: "You are right, it is unrealistic to find a psychiatrist for them, and it is even more unrealistic to give them a vacation.
But we can make the people who enslave them pay, and at least so that these people can get some compensation.
I have a team, and as long as you can provide a little ammo, we can follow you.
God teaches us to be good, but He doesn't make us compromise with the devil! ”
Father Gamore looked into Joga's eyes and said in an unprecedentedly serious tone, "My people are familiar with the jungle, and we can help you eradicate those drug dealers." ”
Father Gamore, who has changed his attitude, finally has a little bit of the legendary 'Machine Gun Priest's demeanor.
However, Joga really didn't need him to help him fight, even if he didn't want money, he didn't want to use it, because instead of giving them ammunition, it was better to persuade them to come here and help him mine.
Joga shook his head and rejected Father Gamore's offer, and said with a smile, "If you really want to help, then take two people who are familiar with the jungle to my base."
We drew a digital map of the jungle, but there were a lot of locations on it that we couldn't tell.
If you are willing to help, it will save us a lot of work.
That's enough for me!
I remember telling you that I was paid to fight, and that I was more concerned about time than the combat power you provided. ”
Saying that, Qiao Jia pointed to the heavily armed Mi-8 hippopotamus and Sanderson who was helping the little blacks to cut cassava, and he smiled and said, "As long as I can confirm the enemy's location, do you think anyone in this jungle can stop me?"
Dude, I don't want to explain to you why I'm in a hurry to take out the drug dealers on my own territory, but I'm sure my good intentions towards this land should be confirmed.
But I'm not here to do charity in Afika, and I'm not the kind of big man you imagined.
I came with a sword and an olive branch, hoping to return home with enough wealth and honor.
Whoever causes me trouble is my enemy! ”
Ever since Father Gammor offered to join his team to help Joga fight, it meant that he had approved of what Joga had done in the mines.
Providing medical care and food to the rescued laborers, without restricting their freedom, was beyond Fr. Gamore's best imagination.
Now rejected by Joga, Father Gamore is not only not angry, but believes Joga's previous statement even more.
In Afika, no one will push the combat power sent to the door outward, unless he really doesn't have the idea of using people as cannon fodder.
Although Father Gamore suffered from two consecutive contacts, his personality did not change, but his perception of Joga changed 180 degrees.
Putting away his inherent pride, Father Gamore truly fulfilled his responsibilities as a priest and began to approach the seemingly insensitive laborers, trying to make them feel better with comfort and prayer and his own healing skills.
Sending off the stubborn and naïve Father Gamor, Joga spread his hands at the ordinary-looking Gemma Alexander, and said with a smile: "What are you looking for me?"
You should see, I'm busy right now......"
TC patted his fiancée on the shoulder, then walked up to Joga and shook hands with him, saying, "Well done!"
Sanderson is right, you're a special team! ”
Joga listened and said with a smile: "I feel very happy to be recognized by a cowboy."
But I don't think you're specifically here to compliment my ......."
Gemma Alexander, who had been standing beside TC with a gentle expression, suddenly said, "We want to work with you......"
"Why?"
Joga spread his hands a little inexplicably and said, "What's the need?"
You're in Sangha Town, and if I'm not mistaken, I've arranged for someone to go there and arrange a hospital for you.
I've fulfilled my promise, we've actually cooperated, what do you mean by telling me that now? ”
Gemma said with a heavy expression, "We haven't been to Sangha Town yet, but we followed Father Gamore and saw a lot of things in the jungle that we didn't dare to imagine in the past.
The mortality rate of children here is very high, they need enough vaccines, and adults need more medicines.
I called my parents, who helped me connect with several pharmaceutical companies and convinced them to agree to sponsor my operation.
But those pharmaceutical companies have the conditions to ......"
Qiao Jia frowned and said, "What does this have to do with me?" ”
Gemma nodded slightly, shook her head again, and then said in a slightly apologetic tone: "Those pharmaceutical companies need to have enough publicity, but this is not a particularly good place because safety cannot be fully guaranteed.
We have had 3 attacks in the jungle in the last twenty days, all of which were kidnappings against us, and those who felt they could use us for wealth......"
Qiao Jia waved his hand and said: "I still don't understand, your fiancé is the elite of the airborne rescue team, and even your nurses have the experience of stationing.
If those pharmaceutical companies want to come here and shoot some material for gimmicks, it's a big deal to hire some PMCs.
What does this have to do with me? ”
Gemma had an expectant smile on her face and said, "Listen to me......"
