Chapter 936: Congolese Characteristics

Boss Joe went down the river to Kinshasa at his own pace, like a demonstration.

Along the way, it passes through the four cities of 'Ireb', 'Luclera', 'Bolobo' and 'Langalanga'......

Everywhere I went, the riots in these cities came to an abrupt end!

by P· The 500 Congolese National Army, which B trained and equipped, radioed to Boss Qiao when he passed by the city 'Ireb' at the confluence of the Congo River and the Ubangi River......

Then, less than four hours after the "Blue Whale" anchored, two Su-27s with six cluster bombs each, under the guidance of the ground forces, washed a rebel gathering place with a 'heavenly punishment' that the Congolese could not understand.

A total of 12 cluster bombs destroyed rebel camps and killed nearly 600 people, including a group of European mercenaries who were training the rebels.

When the Blue Whale was stationed, Team D landed in a speedboat and, under the leadership of the Congolese Defence Forces, went to the enemy's camp to carry out reconnaissance and guidance missions......

After coming back, the 'gray wolf' was like Boss Joe made a report, and in the footage they recorded with the camera, the mercenaries didn't look like they were working for money at all.

P· B himself is a military contracting company, and they have seen countless mercenaries, and sometimes they can know whether the other party's identity is true or false when they smell it.

White, aged between 25~30 years old, is very energetic, but very impatient with the harsh environment.

Judging by the performance of these people, they are active soldiers, even if they are really mercenaries, then they will not be retired for long.

Joga arranged for fighter jets to carry out a scalpel-like bombing, then pretended not to know the existence of the 'mercenaries' and ordered to move on.

After the bombing, the second city 'Luclera' passed, a large number of residents gathered around the river when the 'Blue Whale' passed by......

The local tribal representative, who was also from the Kabila Line, had a small boat in front of the Blue Whale like a wronged fellow in ancient times.

After forcing Boss Joe's car to stop, an old black man with white hair roared loudly as if he was acting, demanding that P· B's Riverside Guard did its job of helping Luclera, a city plagued by conservative riots, to solve its law and order problems.

Boss Qiao stood at the bow of the boat and sincerely expressed to the old black man that he was extremely sorry for not doing his job......

This time, it was the ferryman's four members who attacked, and after 12 hours of hard work, led by several Wehrmacht troops of 'Luclera', finally locked on to the location of the enemy camp.

Four glaring F-16s then entered the Congolese border and launched inhumane bombardments against a guerrilla training camp and an opposition camp.

Huddled in the jungle, dozens of acres of training camps were blown into a scorched earth.

Hundreds of soldiers recruited by the guerrillas were sent to the west before they could complete their training under the guidance of white instructors.

Even worse was the opposition's enclave, where an arms depot was hit by a cluster bomb and then a martyrdom occurred, destroying all the valuable arms inside.

The death caused by the bombing was a miracle for the locals of 'Luclera'.

But if you zoom out from a distance, the deaths of a few hundred people in this rotten part of the Congo will not have much impact at all.

The explosion was terrifying, but only those who saw it and were there understood what it meant to be 'terrible'.

During this period, Afica did not have Internet entertainment software such as Doulang, and the internal signal base station construction was not perfect.

Except for a small number of wealthy people who have mobile phones and take pictures of the smoke rising after the bombing, there are various gossip circulating among the high-rises, and most of the remaining information is limited to 15 kilometers upstream and downstream.

Even in order to spread this influence, Boss Qiao had to participate in the celebration organized by the locals at the invitation of the old black man.

The so-called celebration was extremely ridiculous in the eyes of Boss Qiao......

A chair with two long, bouncy sticks......

Eight black men lifted him up like a sedan chair, and then sang and danced like a parade through the streets, carrying Boss Qiao and several tribal bigwigs, and walked around the center of 'Luclaira'.

Boss Qiao was still patient in the first half, but in the second half he really couldn't stand it......

It's no problem for the black buddy to sing and dance, and it's just a matter of carrying the 'sedan chair' to pull him around the streets, but it's a bit too much to shake the 'sedan chair' as if he is riding the wind and waves.

Qiao Jia saw a middle-aged black man in front of him, who was enthusiastically flown up by 4 black men, and then fell into the crowd and lost a tooth.

There was also an older old black man in a white robe, and in the middle of the ceremony, he took the bucket handed by the attendant next to him, and then spit out the plastic bucket half full with a heroic 'vomit'.

The white-robed old black is like this, and Boss Qiao is a little unbearable......

In the end, after nearly 40 minutes of hard work, when the ceremony entered the final stage, Boss Qiao said 'leave' to the local enthusiastic natives, and rushed into the bushes on the side of the road and vomited out the contents of his stomach amid the good-natured laughter of most of the people.

When Joga stepped into a 'palace' surrounded by a white curtain and took his seat, he looked at the elders who were also not very good-looking......

He felt that this so-called 'celebration' was a special way for the local commoners to express their resistance to these 'nobles'.

Otherwise, how can there be a 'sedan chair driver' who wants to fly the sedan chair upside down from the beginning?

The black man carried the coffin without such unrestrainedness!

Boss Qiao's treatment is not bad, but the ups and downs are a little more violent, and the others, except for the black old man who barricades the river for help, have to suffer a little bit at the last time.

After the entertainment of the common people is over, it is time to be gracious!

The Congolese tribal chiefs, or local 'kings', took care of their people in a simple and crude way.

In addition to the 'king', the other 'ministers' brought their own tables and chairs to line up outside the 'palace' to solve the problems of the locals who lined up outside one by one.

Your sheep were stolen?

It doesn't matter, you've got the $5!

Your wife's sister is looking for a job?

It's okay, bring it to me to see, I'll introduce her to work if she looks good.

Is your pot broken?

It doesn't matter, here is 10 yuan, you can buy a new pot with it, and by the way, you can also buy a few plates for eating.

…………

…………

The troubles below 10 yuan have been intercepted by people outside......

Those in big trouble were sent to the 'palace' and it was up to their 'king' and boss Joe to solve the problem.

Joga was pulled by the enthusiastic old black 'king' and made a '20 piece savior'.

What a savior!

Although the heads of these tribes didn't do anything serious, they just searched and paid some money, but the locals just felt extremely satisfied.

This situation made Joga feel extremely deeply!

The locals didn't expect much from these rulers at all......

Don't make a mess, give us a little benefit once in a while, then you are a good boss!

This may be Afika's version of 'rule by inaction'......

It's so fucking fucking!

In the face of these optimistic commoners, Joga was not too embarrassed to take the crumpled change that the 'King' had given him, but asked Dorian to fetch a brand new pack of 20 bills from the ship.

As a bank owner, he feels ashamed to go out with bills of less than 20 yuan.

What? Someone in the family is seriously ill?

This 100 yuan was used to buy medicine to cure the disease!

What? All the livestock in the family have been robbed?

Take two hundred dollars and buy livestock cubs!

What? Your wife is going to have a baby, and you don't have a house yet?

Take 500 yuan to buy a beggar's version of a simple house!

………………

………………

The malicious inflation created by Boss Qiao made the old black 'king' around him miserable.

In the end, because the 'king' had exhausted his cash reserves, he had to hastily end the 'charity conference' and send Boss Qiao back to the dock with a group of courtiers respectfully......

This bizarre experience made Joga deeply feel the situation in the interior of the Congo......

It's not because they're really stupid, but because they deeply feel a certain kind of Afika's primal wisdom.

The tribal 'king' who looked like a nervous disorder was actually an international student who graduated from Oxford University, and his subordinates also had the experience of studying in Europe and the United States.

Having access to capital, they don't care about the natives at all, or that the natives are a huge burden for them.

The 'kings' of the tribes are not the same thing as the kings of Europe, you have to be responsible for the tribes.

You can't let the people of the tribe starve, or you will really make the people below anxious, and they will really kill your whole family.

This 'charity meeting' is not so much a 'charity' as it is a 'king's tax' to those below them in exchange for their possession of some of the valuable resources.

There are 4 times a year for this kind of thing, and the total amount is also conventional, anyway, if the year is good, give less, and if the year is bad, give more.

The Congo is said to be a democracy, but in reality it is a country of numerous tribes.

Most of the tribes relied on similar means to manage the civilians below, but there were some differences between the north and the south.

It is this kind of primitive management method, in the past, as long as it was not really angry and resentful, no one would deliberately oppose them.

Unfortunately, as the Congo began to gradually integrate with the world due to its huge mining resources, the influx of modernization and democratization led to the expansion of benefits and the unfair distribution.

The president's high-ranking factions and powerful clans occupy most of the Congolese government resources, that is, state-owned resources, and the rest are divided among other tribes.

Looking at the map of Congo, it seems quite large, but in fact, the area actually managed by the Kinshasa government is far from as large as everyone thinks.

It's no secret that tribes and warlords everywhere are divided!

If the talk is good, I will accept Zhao'an and recognize you as the boss, and take a legal name, and if the talk is not good, I will live my own life, and you can still bite me with your national defense force?

President Kabila's attempt to reform South Kivu province in order to expand his influence has been shattered.

There is influence from outside forces, but more often than not, the Kinshasa government itself is too bad.

Without a strong hand, without super political ability, without the support of huge capital, it is simply impossible to integrate Congo's resources by virtue of insatiable greed and shamelessness.

Joga is not delusional about integrating the whole of Congo, he wants to fight all the way to Kinshasa now, push his power to the highest point through blood and death, and then see who will be the first to slap him!
