The expedition team in Andrey. In the afternoon of the same day, Milanovich and his troops stationed in the open-pit mine area officially set off, and the chief of the Ntua tribe personally came to the bank of the river to see off Captain Gran.

"Mr. Grandi, welcome next time!" The old chief said to Captain Grandy with a sincere expression.

"Mr. Chief, I hope that after the next meeting, your Ntuya tribe will be even more prosperous!" Captain Grandi also sent his best wishes.

"I firmly believe that under the leadership of the Governor's Palace, our tribe will be able to prosper more and more!" As he spoke, the old chief delivered two gem-encrusted Macimital Scimitars to Captain Grandi and Mirabeau. Plenkovich's hand, "This is a gift from our Ntua tribe for you, I hope you will be satisfied!" ”

Captain Grandi received the gift with Mirabeau. There was a look of surprise on Plenkovich's face, they never thought that the old chief would be so generous, and the gem on this Turkish scimitar alone could sell for hundreds of pounds if it were sold on the market.

If the whole Turkish scimitar meets a real favorite tyrant, even if it costs a thousand pounds, it will not be a problem.

You know, the salary of Captain Grandi's entire team is only 30,000 francs a year, which is less than 1,000 pounds when converted into pounds.

For Mirabeau, who held the rank of major. For Plenkovic, that's even more incredible.

As the saying goes, people respect me for a foot, and I respect people for a foot.

The old chieftain's gift made Captain Grandi and Mirabeau. Plenkovich was satisfied, and Captain Grandy didn't mind reminding the old chief, and he whispered to the old chief, "Mr. Chief, in fact, this gift of yours should not be given to us, but to His Excellency the Governor in Libreville!"

Me and Mirabeau. Plenkovich is just working for His Excellency the Governor! ”

"However, I do not know the preferences of His Excellency the Governor!" The old chief replied to Captain Grandi that he had given them gifts in order to get Jérôme from them. Patterson's preferences.

Don't look at him as just a tribal chieftain, but in terms of human sophistication, the old chief is not lost to those so-called civilized people at all, and he also knows that he can only do what he likes.

"You have to ask Major Mirabeau this question!" Captain Grandi shrugged his shoulders at Mirabeau. Plenkovich responded: "After all, I have only known His Excellency the Governor for half a month!"

Major Mirabeau had known the Governor for a long time, and he must have known the Governor's preferences! ”

With that, Captain Grandi motioned to Mirabeau with his eyes. Plenkovic stepped up and said a few words.

"Major Mirabeau, what advice do you have?" The old chief was sincere to Mirabeau. Plenkovich said.

Mirabeau. Plenkovich pondered for a moment, then replied to the old chief: "Your Excellency the Governor does not attach much importance to material things, but he attaches more importance to tangible achievements.

His Excellency the Governor will have face as long as the Ntua tribe can continue to be in harmony with the policies of the Governor's Office.

The Governor has face, and your days will get better and better! ”

Mirabeau. Plenkovich paused, reorganized his language and continued: "By the way, there is one more thing, our governor is the nephew of the Emperor, and he is highly regarded by the Emperor! ”

"I see!" The old chief nodded to Mirabeau. Plenkovich replied, "We, the Encua, will not disgrace His Excellency the Governor!" ”

"Although His Excellency the Governor may not accept your gifts, you can change the object of the gift from His Excellency the Governor to His Excellency the Governor's closest subordinate officials, such as Secretary General Rastigne!!" Mirabeau. Plenkovich then reminded the old chieftain, "Secretary General Rastigne is the chief steward of the entire Doge's Palace, and he has the right to give orders in the Governor's place when the Governor is out.

If you can make friends with him, you will not lose! ”

After listening to Mirabeau. Plenkovich's words, the old chief silently discussed in his heart: I really don't know how many official positions there are in their governor's palace!

Although the old chief had some opinions about the official position of the governor's palace, he still kept Mirabeau in mind. Plenkovich's words. (This chapter is not finished!) )

Chapter 871: The Helpless Tribe

"Yes! I remembered! "The old chief said to Mirabeau. Plenkovich replied.

"That's it! I've said everything I need to say! The rest is up to you! "Mirabeau. Plenkovich spread his hands, then turned to Captain Grandi, "Mr. Grandi, it's time for us to go!" ”

Captain Grandy glanced at his pocket watch, it was already three o'clock, and he hurriedly said to the old chief, "Mr. Chief, it's time for us to go!"

If we stay here too long, we're afraid we won't be able to get the next location.

When the time comes, we'll have to spend the night on the ship! ”

With that, Captain Grandy ordered all members of the expedition team to board the ship.

It took nearly twenty minutes for the group to board the boat, and under the old chief's watchful eye, they continued eastward along the Ornway River until they disappeared from the old chief's sight.

The old chieftain, who had done all this, yawned and returned to the tribe step by step.

When the old chief arrived at the tribe, all the members he had sent out to hunt returned, each of them carrying prey around their necks and in their wagons, and this time the hunt could be said to be fully loaded.

The inhabitants of the tribe cheered with joy when they saw the gifts brought back by the members who had gone out hunting.

At this moment, the old chief's voice reached their ears again, "Give these prey to those who are stationed in the mines!" ”

As soon as these words came out, it was like a bomb that ignited the emotions of the tribal people, and the tribal people recalled the incident two days ago.

Suddenly, the inhabitants of the tribe shouted like fried hedgehogs.

"Why! This is our prey! ”

"I don't do it! They have the ability to go hunting! ”

"Why should we assign our own things to a group of guys who invade our territory!"

……

The shouting came and went, and the old chief just watched everyone in the tribe silently, and he waited, waiting for everyone to vent his emotions before he could speak.

At this time, no matter what you say to them, it is useless, but will provoke conflicts.

After a while, the shouting gradually decreased.

The old chief spoke again to the tribesmen, "Ladies and gentlemen, I see what you mean! I understand why you're angry!

But I want each and every one of you to be able to realize that we are no longer the unfettered tribe we used to be!

We also have a governor's palace at our head, and now they are in charge of us!

And those soldiers are the people of the Doge's Palace, which means that they are also among the people who run us!

We can only try to maintain our relationship with them......"

Before the old chief could speak, a middle-aged man who looked powerful interrupted the old chief: "Patriarch, we can completely not rely on them, we can rely on our own strength to survive here!" ”

The old chief did not survive because he interrupted him, but calmly asked, "How are you going to avoid the sight of those people and survive!" ”

"We can fight them and let them know how good we are!" The middle-aged man said with high spirits: "They have muskets, and we have muskets now!" Why should we obey their arrangement! ”

"yes!"

"That's right!"

The middle-aged man's remarks resonated with a part of the tribe, who took it for granted that both sides had muskets and that there should be an equal relationship in strength.

However, the middle-aged man's encouraging words were undoubtedly stupid remarks in the ears of the old chief.

"Then let me ask you, do you know how many people there are in our tribe?" The old chief continued to ask rhetorically.

The middle-aged man shook his head and said to the old chief, "I don't know! ”

"I tell you! There are 13,521 people in our tribe! The old chief replied, and then asked the middle-aged man, "Do you know how many of them there are?" ”

The middle-aged man shook his head again, indicating that he didn't know.

"There are more than 30 million people in charge of the country behind the Governor's Palace!" The old chieftain said sternly (this chapter is not finished!). )

Chapter 871: The Helpless Tribe

Said to the middle-aged man.

The people surrounding the old chief all had fearful expressions on their faces when they heard this number.

30 million is a huge number for Gabon, a region with a total population of less than 2 million, let alone a tribe with a population of more than 10,000.

"And I've heard that they have an army of 5,000 people in Libreville (in fact, it should be called the Production and Construction Corps).

How do you say we should fight them, what do we use to fight them! The old chief's expression was slightly hideous, and he asked the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was forced by the old chief's momentum and subconsciously took a step back.

"I'm ......," the middle-aged man couldn't say a word.

Then the old chief lifted up his head and looked around like a victorious returning king, and no one who was watching him dared to look at him.

"The reason why I compromise is not because of weakness!

It's that the difference in strength between us and them is so great that we have almost no possibility of resisting! The old chief said to everyone present in a heavy tone: "That's why I choose to give in, at least our tribe still exists!"

Our children and the elderly will not be slaughtered by them! ”

The old chief recounted in fits and pieces a young man, when he traveled with his master, and saw the slaughter of the tribe by the army.

Everyone present listened to the old chief's description, and their faces couldn't help but show fear and fear.

"Now that our tribe has become a member of the Governor's Palace, we don't have to fear being exterminated like other tribes!" The old chief said bitterly to everyone present: "Now what our language does is to maintain the relationship between the tribe and the governor's palace!"

Let our Tribe's position in the Doge's Palace remain unchanged! ”
