Chapter 199: Revenge
Chapter 199: Revenge
Jiang Ning is actually a very serious person and rarely talks nonsense.
But when it's time to talk bullshit, he can still do it.
Beautiful women attract men.
Of course, outstanding men will attract women's attention.
This was not the first time that he had been noticed by beautiful young ladies on the plane. He had long been accustomed to it. He had also traveled like crazy during those years when his life was uncertain. He had played all the games he should have played and experienced all the experiences he should have experienced. Now he had no intention of flirting with other girls.
We flew to Ethiopia, slept for one night, and flew to Kinshasa the next day.
Winder brought people to the airport to pick him up, including two policemen.
I asked about the situation in the car.
After some discussion, the final settlement was 10 million.
Jiang Ning can also accept this price.
But the 10 million is not all used to purchase mining rights. 5 million is for mining rights, and the remaining 5 million is for the cost of obtaining the certificate. As for why it is so expensive to obtain a certificate, Winder gave Jiang Ning a detailed expense account.
Every expenditure above is clearly stated.
Winder said angrily: "Boss, those niggers are too black..."
Jiang Ning interrupted: "If Lao Hei is not black, can he be white?"
Winder spread his hands helplessly: "Boss, that's not what I meant. I was saying that those guys were too greedy. And I felt that those niggers didn't think we could take over the Kasoto gold mine, and they just wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail us."
Jiang Ning nodded. Anyone would think so.
But that's a good thing.
Otherwise, how could we get the Kasoto gold mine at the lowest cost?
After settling down in various places, Jiang Ning no longer stayed in a hotel.
A meeting was called.
The mercenary leader, Sea Snake, was the first to raise an urgent question: "Boss, what should we do with our weapons and equipment? The people sent to Goma have protested three times. If we don't get the weapons and equipment, they will run back."
Jiang Ning hummed: "I'll have weapons and equipment when I get to Goma."
The sea snake spread his hands helplessly and said, "Well, I hope the boss can really find a way."
"Do not worry!"
Jiang Ning asked: "Is everyone ready over there?"
Winder replied: "We found a large courtyard, but it's too chaotic there. Our people might be robbed if they go out on the street, and the hired soldiers are not very reliable, so we rarely go out. When there is something, we ask Xiao Hei to come forward."
Jiang Ning nodded: "As long as we have a place to stay, it will be fine. Have you settled the matter with the defense company?"
Winder said: "Of course, we are affiliated with a South African defense company. As long as we give them two million dollars a year, we can carry out various military activities in Africa in the name of the defense company. Even if we go to kill the president of the Democratic Republic of Congo, we can put the blame on them. As for whether they can take the blame for us, I don't know."
Jiang Ning was very satisfied: "Not bad, that's it, I'll talk about other things when I get to Goma."
After waiting for a few days, the procedures were finally completed after the money was in place.
Jiang Ning took his men and flew to Goma.
During the time he was away, the personnel who were still waiting in Nevada were transferred here one after another. When they arrived in Kinshasa, some of them had been sent to Goma. There were a total of more than 30 people stationed in Kinshasa, and a few were left to look after the place.
The rest were taken to Goma.
Since the land route is blocked, we can only fly there.
When we arrived in Goma, Xiao Hei, who was sent as the advance scout, came with several armed pickup trucks to pick us up.
There were also several armed soldiers accompanying them as guards, holding broken AKs that had been passed around countless times.
There are only five cars in total, and there are too many people to fit.
I can only squeeze in.
As a result, not long after leaving the airport, we encountered two groups of armed men opening fire in the street.
The convoy turned around and avoided the area where the fighting was taking place.
Wen De and Jiang Ning sat together and said with a bitter face: "Boss, this place is too messy."
Jiang Ning was indifferent: "The bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish, right?"
Winder was worried: "I'm afraid I'll earn money but won't be able to spend it."
Jiang Ning patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hey man, be brave. You are an American, how can you be so timid?"
Winder said helplessly: "Boss, your logic is incorrect. It is human instinct to stay away from danger. God has not stipulated that all Americans should be as bold as you. Isn't it normal to be afraid of death? In this damn place, those militants even attacked the UN convoy. I am really afraid that one day I will be blown into the sky by a shell while sitting in the car."
Jiang Ning was so happy that he laughed and said, "Don't worry, man. It's just a little chaotic here. It's not that dangerous. I will deal with those warlords and make them dare not touch my people."
Winder lacked confidence in him: "Boss, even if you can deal with those warlords, there are still anti-government armed forces. Those rebels will not give face to anyone. You may not be able to deal with them."
"Do not worry!"
Jiang Ning was full of confidence: "I will handle everything."
Winder could only estimate and believe it, but he didn't have enough confidence in his boss.
We arrived at the temporary residence, which was a large yard and a four-story building.
The conditions are pretty good. This is the city, not that chaotic.
We hired a few soldiers to guard the door. As long as you don't go out, your safety will be fine for the time being.
As soon as Jiang Ning arrived, he was surrounded by the mercenaries who had arrived earlier and started to complain.
It's fine if I can't go out.
The most unbearable thing is the shortage of daily necessities.
Jiang Ning said a few words to comfort everyone and calm them down.
Then he went out alone.
About an hour later, he came back alone driving a large truck.
The car stopped in the yard and several mercenaries lifted the tarpaulin.
I was shocked when I saw the cargo on the truck.
Winder looked incredulous: "Boss, where did you get these supplies?"
Jiang Ning said: "Don't ask, just do your job well."
Winder scratched his head but didn't dare to ask any more questions.
The truck was filled with all kinds of supplies, including rice, flour, grain and oil, enough to last for several months.
The mercenaries climbed onto the vehicle, unloaded the supplies, and moved them into the warehouse.
After all the daily necessities on top were unloaded, everyone discovered that there were weapons and equipment underneath.
Sea Snake looked as if he had seen a ghost: "Boss, where did you get the American military equipment from?"
Jiang Ning was unpredictable: "Don't ask nonsense questions. This is not what you need to know. Just do your job. OK?"
"OK!"
The sea snake didn't ask any more questions, but was just curious like a cat scratching its head.
Settled down and rested for a day.
The next day, work began and Haishe personally took a few people to Kasoto.
Jiang Ning and Wen De went to visit the military government.
This is one of the most chaotic places in Africa. Small-scale armed conflicts occur almost every day. Either the anti-government armed forces attack the government army, or local armed forces fight over interests. A few years ago, the Italian ambassador to Congo died here.
You can imagine how confusing it was.
This area is rich in resources, and many rare mineral resources have attracted many mining companies from Europe and the United States. The Ugandan Allied Forces did not go to liberate Uganda, but stayed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Rwandan Democratic Front did not go to liberate Rwanda, but also stayed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Coupled with Western mining companies and local warlords and local armed forces, the situation has become a mess.
There are also several separatist armed groups of a terrorist nature that are causing trouble every day.
Even God would have a headache if he came here.
But chaos has its benefits.
This is a place rich in gold, but also a mess.
It's just convenient for taking advantage of the situation.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for a large amount of gold to appear on the market without attracting the attention of the Americans.
After being extorted for several hundred dollars, I finally met an official.
Jiang Ning directly stated his purpose: "My friend, the Kinshasa government sold the Kasoto gold mine to me, but you know that the Kasoto gold mine is now occupied by a group of militants. You have to help me drive away the militants and get the gold mine back."
"Merde!"
Lao Hei was very surprised: "Are you kidding?"
Jiang Ning said: "I'm not joking, I'm telling you the truth."
Lao Hei was very dissatisfied: "I think you are making fun of me."
Jiang Ning said: "I'm not interested in teasing you. Don't you know the words on these documents?"
Lao Hei looked at the document again and expressed his strong confusion: "The Kasoto gold mine is in the hands of Mukasutu. How could the Kinshasa government sell the Kasoto gold mine to you? I think you have been deceived. You should go back to the Kinshasa government."
Jiang Ning shook his head: "I don't think I was fooled. Since the Kinshasa government sold the Kasoto gold mine to me, then the Kasoto gold mine is mine. Now I ask the North Kivu provincial government to help me get the gold mine back. Is that okay?"
"Of course there is a problem."
Lao Hei looked at him as if he were a fool and said, "We have no obligation to help you get the gold mine back. The Kasoto gold mine was sold to you by the Kinshasa government. You should ask the Kinshasa government to help you get the gold mine back, or you can get it back yourself."
"OK!"
Jiang Ning was waiting for this sentence, and clapped his hands, saying, "In that case, I will take back the Kasoto gold mine myself, but I hope that North Kivu Province will not interfere. I don't want to be an enemy of the government army. I hope that we can all be safe."
Lao Hei looked doubtful and a little unsure.
He just responded with a few words and sent him away.
Winder was worried: "Boss, do you think the government forces will intervene?" "Not likely!"
Jiang Ning shook his head: "Mukasutu is very close to a separatist armed group, and is not on the same side as the government army. The government army hopes that Mukaasutu will be in trouble. Of course, if we can't show enough strength, it's hard to say. In this land, if you don't want to be bullied, you have to show your strength that makes people fear you, otherwise your end will be miserable."
Winder was unsure: "Don't we have enough manpower?"
Jiang Ning said, "We have enough manpower. Your American salaries are too high. I can't afford to support too many people. After we take over the gold mine, we can support some local armed forces. Isn't that what those mining companies in Europe and America do?"
Winder's old problem came back: "I think these niggers are unreliable."
Jiang Ning frowned: "Don't talk nonsense outside."
Winder quickly shut his mouth and looked around.
I won't dare to speak without restraint anymore.
Goma is a small town, shabby everywhere, without even a decent road. It is far worse than my hometown county. The black people on the street generally have no light in their eyes, like zombies, living one day at a time.
Some of the old black ones have green eyes, just like wolves.
Fights and robberies are common.
There were even fights over a piece of bread.
Jiang Ning also saw several fellow villagers and thought these people were very courageous.
Anyone who dares to come to a place like this is not afraid of death.
They were all tall and strong, and a few white mercenaries were fully armed. They looked like they were not easy to mess with. Even though the black man couldn't hide the greed in his eyes, he didn't dare to rush over to rob, so it was relatively safe.
After walking around the street, Winder felt nervous.
Jiang Ning also found it boring, so he returned to the base.
After waiting for two days, the sea snake came back.
I brought back the latest intelligence. There are about 300 armed elements in Casotto. Their military camp is not in the mining area, but at the foot of a hillside two kilometers away from the mining area. It is not easy to get close, so we can only observe from a distance.
Three hundred people is just an approximate number.
It is not clear how many people there are at the moment.
The mine was still in production and several dozen armed men were guarding the miners.
Jiang Ning didn't say anything after hearing this and asked them to rest for a while.
At night, he slipped out again.
Goma is more than 80 kilometers away from Kasotho, and the direct distance is a little more than 60 kilometers.
Jiang Ning walked for an hour and a half and arrived at Kasoto.
Kasotho is a small town with a population of less than a thousand.
The mining area is more than five kilometers away from the southwest of the town.
Jiang Ning first took a tour of the mining area and was surprised to find that there were some rough folks and white people among the miners. He had been here before, so it was not surprising that the warlords treated the miners like animals. In some mining areas, the miners were even worse than slaves.
But he had never seen anyone catching his fellow villagers or white people mining.
The Kasoto Gold Mine is an old mine that has been mined for decades.
The easy-to-mine part has been mined out long ago, and the lower mining area is difficult to mine. Without large-scale mining equipment, it can only be mined bit by bit by manpower. At the bottom of the huge mine, many mine shafts have been dug out and many tents have been set up.
Apparently the miners couldn't even leave the mine when they were resting.
There are still armed men guarding the high ground surrounding the mining area.
It's difficult to escape.
Jiang Ning took a look around and found out the details.
Without disturbing anyone, we went to the camp two kilometers away.
The camp was built at the foot of a hill with a wide view.
It is not easy to sneak in, but it is not difficult for Jiang Ning.
Walking over, we found several sentry posts.
He did not move the sentry, sneaked into the camp and took a look around, and successfully found out the details.
The Sea Snake was quite capable, and the estimated number of people was roughly right, just over 300, not a lot. Their weapons and equipment were just so-so, without even a light mortar. The most they had were AKs, and various types of machine guns.
The weapons are varied and look like they were pieced together.
The camp was quite modern, with lights on in several rooms.
Jiang Ning saw solar panels on the roof.
The black men had a rich nightlife, but when he saw the group sex scenes in several rooms, he almost couldn't hold back and took action. A group of black men turned into wild beasts, venting their animal desires on the women. The more miserably the women cried, the more excited the militants became.
no doubt.
These women were all captured.
Jiang Ning did not act rashly. He left after finding out the details.
He also captured an old black man who had some status.
Lao Hei was a little frightened. No one would be able to remain calm if they were kidnapped in the middle of the night, especially when they found themselves like a chicken with no power to resist and unable to breathe. How could they not be frightened? After the rag covering their heads was removed.
Lao Hei took a deep breath. He had never felt that the air smelled so good.
Although the last few dozen seconds were short, they frightened him to the extreme.
The feeling of not being able to breathe is so unforgettable.
So when Jiang Ning asked questions, Lao Hei was very honest.
Answer all questions.
"Where is Mukasutu?"
"In the camp."
"Tell me the exact location."
"The biggest house in the camp. The leader is in his fifties, a head shorter than me, very thin, with a scar on his left cheek from an injury. He's easy to spot. Let me go..."
Lao Hei answered very attentively and not only told the location.
Even the boss's facial features were described.
Sold thoroughly.
After Jiang Ning found out the truth, he sent Lao Hei underground.
The feng shui there is quite good.
This ending is actually not bad, it is definitely better than leaving the corpse exposed in the wilderness.
These militants are no good. Even if they bury more than 300 people, no one will be innocent.
Jiang Ning stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the camp in the distance.
I recalled what happened back then. I was 18 years old that year. After coming to Africa, I was brought here and followed the boss Hu Jian. As a result, not long after, the boss was targeted while transporting gold and was ambushed halfway. The boss was beaten to a pulp on the spot.
He was lucky, as he saw the bad situation and jumped into the woods beside the road.
He was shot in the leg, but he escaped the disaster by relying on his amazing perseverance and survival instinct.
The reason why they took over the Kasoto gold mine was to take revenge.
If I hadn't come to Africa, I wouldn't have thought about it.
Now that I'm here, I might as well take revenge for what happened last year.
Jiang Ning looked down for a while, then walked over again.
After confirming what Lao Hei had said, Mukasutu was indeed there.
Lao Hei is considered to have lived a long life as he is over fifty years old. Although he looks thin, he is extremely energetic. He actually had group sex with three women. Killing them was a piece of cake for him, but those captured women were a trouble.
Jiang Ning didn't want to hurt innocent people, so he didn't act rashly.
Di Xing left the camp, planning to go back and discuss it.
See how to act and rescue those women.
It was already past midnight when we returned to Goma.
The soldiers had fallen asleep long ago, only the one on duty was still taking a nap.
Jiang Ning did not disturb anyone and quietly returned to his room and went to sleep.
When I woke up, it was already bright.
I got up and washed my face, and the cook's breakfast was almost ready.
The chef is an old black man, found locally, who can cook Chinese dishes. It is said that he learned how to cook when he worked for a Chinese boss. He was originally living on the streets and was almost starving to death. He happened to see a chef being needed here, so he came here to try his luck.
Because I knew how to make noodles, I was hired temporarily.
With a monthly salary of 200 yuan, including food and accommodation, Lao Hei is very satisfied.
There are refugees everywhere in Goma. It's good enough to have something to eat these days.
I really can't ask for too much.
There was a shortage of supplies in Goma, especially food. Vegetables were also difficult to buy, but there was no shortage of meat. Lao Hei used the few vegetables available to make a cold dish, steamed some steamed buns, and made some beef and radish soup. The breakfast was pretty decent.
There was no dedicated canteen, so everyone just set up tables in the yard and ate outdoors.
Jiang Ning sat at the same table with Winder, Sea Snake and several other key personnel.
While eating breakfast, the sea snake asked, "Did the boss go out last night?"
Jiang Ning was a little surprised and asked, "How did you find out?"
The sea snake said, "I happened to get up in the middle of the night and hadn't fallen asleep yet, and I heard some noise in the boss's room."
Jiang Ning gave a thumbs up: "Very alert."
