Don't talk about martial arts, I'm a war contractor

Chapter 268: Undercurrent, invest in advance (please subscribe!)

When Xiayu took Ibrahim to see the goods, the spokesperson of the Masina Liberation Front, as the only survivor of the Gukina Faso branch, sneaked back to Mari from the border.

Originally, he had written a manuscript claiming to attack the United Nations Blue Helmets, but the entire branch was taken away by the other party. He still couldn't contact Xie Fu, and he only found out after watching the news the next day.

If you don't say it, the other party will come to your door soon and you must retreat immediately.

He didn't want any livestock or large items, as well as weapons. He and his two men only took cash and pistols, and mixed with a desert caravan to evacuate Yukina Faso.

By the time the Minister of Defense came to visit with his troops, the branch had already been emptied out. After selling off their remaining assets, he had the 10,000+ he gave Xia Yu.

This matter has come to an end in Jakina Faso, but it has just begun in Mali.

To retaliate, the Masina Liberation Front has never suffered such heavy losses since its establishment. They want revenge.

"So the opponent is not the National Blue Helmets, but a military contractor hired by the country and using the same equipment as the National Blue Helmets?"

In the Mopti region in central Mali, Hamadun Kufa, the leader of the Masina headquarters, turned off the TV with the remote control and turned to the spokesman Mumchi to ask.

The TV news just reported this incident. It was said that the Chinese people and Jakina Faso jointly attacked the extremist organization Masina Liberation Front, the murderer of the Jawazi village massacre, and annihilated a total of 61 enemies and seized a large number of weapons. .

"Yes, this is the news I bought with money before I left. It is absolutely credible."

Mumchi nodded quickly.

His fighting ability is not very good, but his brain is very good, so Hamadun safely sent him and Xie Fu to form a partnership to develop the branch in Gukina Faso, but this time they kicked the iron wall.

These were 61 people. Because they had committed several major crimes near the capital, they were regarded as a thorn in the side of Laoguo and Bakoma. Agents of the External Security Bureau found clues and killed more than a dozen peripheral members.

Only then did Hamadun think of sending people to Gukina Faso to open a second battlefield to shoulder the pressure on the headquarters. For this purpose, he spent half of his capital, and a full 50 people were dispatched from an organization with less than a hundred people.

The extra dozen or so people were recruited by Xie Fu and Mumqi on the spot. As a result, the number of people in the branch became larger than that of the headquarters. As a result, they were beaten to the lowest level by Masina.

"Chief, we must avenge Xie Fu and the others and make the people of the country pay the price."

Mumchi said immediately.

That’s right, we’re not looking for people from Kinabalu or those military contractors, we’re looking for people from your country.

Because after all, they are all people hired by them, and they have nearly 2000 people stationed in Mali, so they can retaliate nearby.

After suffering such a heavy loss, it is not wise to travel far away to fight. Masina must take advantage of his home court to expand the results.

"Don't worry, Xie Fu and the others just returned to Pearl's embrace. We will avenge them."

Hamadun stood up, patted Mumchi on the shoulder and said solemnly.

As for how to do it, he, an old "artist", already had a rough idea.

"Of course, in order not to let the news leak out and alert the people of the country, we will continue to remain silent."

"Yes, chief!"

Mumchi went down to rest, but agents from the State External Security Bureau were still searching for traces of Masina in Mali.

Since Lao Mei killed Uncle Stirrup, these extremists have become much harder to catch. As long as they make some achievements, they will abandon the convenient and easy-to-use satellite phone and use more primitive communication methods to communicate with their subordinates.

If you insist on catching it, you can still find loopholes, but the huge investment in manpower and material resources will never be enough.

The feasible approach is to pick a few typical cases and attack them. This is also an important reason why the more counter-attacks the more terrorist attacks occur.

Although Masina was very active in the past, most of its attacks were government troops and blue helmets, because both were easy to bully.

But this time it was the people from the country who provoked them first, and they killed them all without spending any money. How can there be such a good thing in the world.

In the end, the people from the External Security Service had no choice but to return without success.

Forget it if there are no results. After all, no one would think that a crippled organization would still be thinking about revenge.

This, this is too extreme, right?
That's what anti-terrorism is like. If you're not prepared to accept losses, then don't mess around.

As for whether the two sides can reconcile after everything is like this, we can only wait until the day when the Chinese people are driven out of the Sahel region!

The interests and influence are gone. Of course, the more extremists and anti-government forces in this land, the better.

It is not impossible to spend money to support some. This is why there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.

Taking one step forward and thinking ten steps forward, Xia Yu was sure that after the people of the Kuomintang country withdrew, that would be the period when the fire defense business would explode.

After losing the old order, it will be difficult to establish a new order in Afika. The chaos will not only continue, but also expand with the support of external forces.

This is cruel to civilians, but this is reality.

This is why Xia Yu is engaged in the PMC industry but yearns for peace.

Or if peace is far away, then he will work hard to bring peace to a region.

Well, he can make some money by the way. After all, he will have a wife and children to support in the future.

"Afica is beautiful and rich. Colonists and war have destroyed everything. We soldiers must use the weapons in our hands to drive away the colonists and eliminate those extremists."

Picking up a brand new M70 assault rifle and pulling the bolt several times, Ibrahim turned around and said to Xia Yu.

This guy is quite rational and knows that it is unrealistic to eliminate the colonists, so he just drives them away.

The extremists can only hit hard. After all, they and the opposition armed forces can put aside their disputes and build the country together, but they cannot be influenced.

"It is very rich. I heard that Yukina Faso is rich in uranium and gold resources?"

Xia Yu said from the side.

"Yes, that is the people's wealth, but it was plundered cheaply by the colonists."

Ibrahim said angrily.

Resources can be sold, but not so cheaply, like sending beggars away.

Probably because they are accustomed to enjoying the dividends of colonization, they also pursue profits excessively in the post-colonial, that is, economic colonial era, and are very aggressive towards the third world. They do not understand win-win cooperation.

Today, with the gradual rise and development of Afika nationalism, this is already somewhat out of place, or rather an eyesore.

The Ibrahim in front of him was the embodiment of this thought. Although his military rank was only a lieutenant, Xia Yu believed that he would be able to make some achievements in the future.

It was worth Xia Yu's early investment. Of course, Mu Xiu was bound to be destroyed by Lin Feng. Even if the investment was in vain, he didn't care very much.

After his apparent net worth reached nine figures, he could not afford to lose hundreds of thousands or millions, let alone even think it was possible.

"Lieutenant Ibrahim, it can be said that we hit it off today. I have a gift I want to give you, and I hope you can use it to protect your people."

After the equipment inventory was completed, before the other party was loading the car and preparing to leave, Xia Yu spoke.Anton brought several members of the number 2 group and moved several boxes over.

"This is?"

"The M82 PRAM L-type 120mm mortar of the Ke people has a total transportation weight of 240 kilograms. It is very lightweight. I believe it can play a greater role in your hands."

Xia Yu opened the lid of the box and revealed the mortar barrel inside.

He originally bought a total of 3 of these guns, which were used to cooperate with the vehicle crew in loading equipment for combat, but only 1 was commonly used, and the remaining 2 had been idle until this time in the Sahel region, Xia Yu purchased 3 of them. Bring it all.

In addition to the door for personal use, let's see if the two doors can be released. After all, there are new products being developed in my hometown, and Afika will be shipped after the year.

The world’s lightest 120mm mortar is truly a squad platoon weapon!
"120mm? The range must not be six or seven kilometers?"

Ibrahim's eyes widened.

这120mm的迫击炮在阿菲卡的确难见，更多的还是60mm和81mm（82mm）口径，可它们的威力怎么比得上120mm迫击炮呢？

"To be precise, it's 8 kilometers, but the ammunition is a little short. There are only 100 rounds for the time being."

In fact, there are quite a few. How many pickup trucks and firepower points of the extremists can be knocked out with 100 rounds? Dozens of rounds can be used to master the performance of the M82. Based on Ibrahim's experience, the remaining shells can also produce a large number of results.

"That's enough, that's enough. Thank you so much, Mr. Sherlock. You will always be a friend of our people in Kinabasa Faso."

The high hat was put on immediately, but as long as you know how to be a good person, you will definitely say good things to others as if they are free of charge.

"I'm honored. We will keep in touch in the future."

Xia Yu said and punched Ibrahim's strong chest muscles.

After watching the other party's convoy leave, he turned around and returned to the barracks to prepare for dinner.

Dinner was beef curry with baguette, because it didn’t go well with baguettes.

But Xia Yu had some privileges as the boss, so Liv washed the rice in advance and helped him stew a pot of rice.

Even when eating curry, only curry rice is king.

Bread and other things, he can only eat breakfast at most. For dinner, he has to have rice, noodles, rice noodles, snails... forget about snail noodles.

As for my girlfriend being a Chinese who has been eating bread for her ancestors, I can only say that having a little money will not affect family harmony, not to mention that Xia Yu is not generally rich now.

"The rice is also delicious, but I still prefer noodles, which taste better than spaghetti."

Liv said this, and the two people who focused on defense finally reached a united front.

Both Mariano and Leonardo think pasta is the best, but risotto and pizza are also good, as long as you don't add pineapple.

Watching them start the debate, Xia Yu's mind automatically filtered the sound and used the remote control to turn on the TV in the restaurant.

I heard from my parents that TV has begun to be phased out in China, but TV is still very popular here in Afica. After all, any coup depends on the TV station.

Because this outpost camp of the Hair Army is located on the border, in addition to the signal from Mali, the channel from Burkina Faso can also be received.

After skipping a few dialect channels and tuning into an official French channel, I saw how lively Ouagadougou, the capital of Gukina Faso, is.

A large number of people took to the streets to demonstrate, demanding that President Compaoré step down.

No wonder the Minister of Defense is in such a hurry to go back. It turns out that the political situation in Ouagadougou is unstable!
The person on the stage was a contemporary of Sankara, and then he overthrew his friend and became president. He has been in this position for almost 30 years, and he still wants to continue doing so.

Unfortunately, times have changed. Afika nationalism is on the rise. People are increasingly disgusted with the president supported by the Chinese people, and miss Sankara back then.

The same idea spread to the army, and Lao Kong was surprised to find that he couldn't seem to mobilize these big soldiers.

"He's finished, and I don't know who will end up with him."

Xia Yu shook his head and said.

Without the backing of the army, the outcome is very clear, and it is not considered a coup at this stage, but at a deeper level, it is still the change brought about by the weakening of the country.

In the past, they could control the Sahel region overtly and covertly, but times have changed, and the people of the Tongguo have begun to follow in the footsteps of the people of the Yingguo.

How should I put it? From Xia Yu's point of view, Operation Crescent Dune was like a self-rescue operation.

However, the influence exerted in this way treats the symptoms but not the root cause. It can only slow down their withdrawal from Afika, but it cannot change the final result.

"Do you like that lieutenant?"

Liv asked beside Xia Yu.

She didn't know much about politics, but she could tell that her boyfriend was making good friends with each other.

"I'm optimistic about his future. The current Sahel still belongs to the Chinese people. Without Compaoré and Mengpreao, it has not substantially entered the next stage."

Xia Yu teaches Liv a lesson.

His other half must have a global perspective and at least have a certain grasp of the situation in Afika.

"You understand these things so well. It makes people feel that you are not a mechanical major, but a graduate of international relations."

Liv became even more curious about her boyfriend. Do men know so much?

"I am a businessman. A businessman who cannot understand the situation and makes wrong judgments is a loser, and I want to be a winner."

Xia Yu replied with a smile.

Yes, men all like to build governments and talk about the world situation, how the country should be governed, and how wars should be fought.

But 99.99% of people are just talking big and bragging, but Xia Yu is different. If he makes a wrong judgment, not only will he lose money, but the company's development plan may also be affected.

So when he had nothing to do, he spent his time studying the history of various regions in Afica and studying their politics, which was somewhat fruitful.

"The situation in the Sahel is too complicated. Even if you want to develop minerals, you can't end up alone. It just looks very messy. The various contradictions are much clearer than here, so I will choose to develop the company's first mineral there. project."

Xia Yu continued.

"The situation in Guo is different. It is the headquarters of our company, and the grass on the edge of the nest is always the slowest to eat."

This is also the reason why Lao Anka has always wanted to get him to cooperate in developing minerals, but he has never agreed.

Furthermore, the company is expanding its market and the museum project is also in full swing, so it is better not to distract ourselves for the time being.

The resources will always be there, but if the market is not laid out in advance, it will be difficult later.

As for whether you think it will be exhausted, Xia Yu has been hearing since she was a child that there are only so many oil resources on the earth, and if you don’t cherish them, they will be exhausted, but it seems that the more you dig, the more you get!
