I listened to your advice and finally became a male god.

Chapter 385 Control
"Mr. Zhang?"

The figure in front turned around, and his dark face showed his white teeth in a smile. Although he was smiling, his eyes flashed with greed and cruelty.

In recent decades, Africa has seen the emergence of numerous dictators, each more cruel than the last, who feed people to the lions at every turn.

General Zabol is rooted in the province of Salitto. He has the final say in the entire province and holds an absolute authority. Naturally, his methods have nothing to do with kindness.

Zhang Yang glanced at the lion in front of him.

I don’t know if this lion has ever eaten anyone.

"Hello, General Zabol." Zhang Yang nodded and stepped forward.

The straight-line distance between the two people is getting closer.

Almost within one meter.

Suddenly, the lion, which had been drooping its eyelids, suddenly opened its eyes and a dull roar came from its throat, as if it had seen some great threat in an instant.

"Huh?" Zabol, who was walking forward, narrowed his eyes slightly, looking a little surprised and doubtful.

He stretched out his hand, and subconsciously hesitated for a moment.

"Come here you."

At this point, Zhang Yang stopped pretending.

He took a step forward instantly, closing the distance to within one meter. Instantly, the item "Recruitment Order" was displayed as available in the system.

And in front of him, Zabol's eyes seemed to reveal some kind of fear.

Subconsciously, he seemed to have a premonition of something.

"Use the call to action!"

Zhang Yang issued a conscription order to Zabol without hesitation.

Time seemed to freeze.

Maybe it's just a moment, or maybe it's a very long time.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Yang finally heard the pleasant notification tone of the system in his mind.

The call-up order has been used.

Successfully recruited target: Zabol

Target identity: Senior official of Salitos Province, Commander-in-Chief of Salitos Provincial Government Army

A moment later, in the garden.

Zhang Yang stood there, touching the lion under his hand.

The lion lay at Zhang Yang's feet, trembling all over.

Off to the side, Zabol stood respectfully, his head slightly lowered, his expression only one of humility.

"So, your original plan was to wait for me to fight those armed forces, until both sides suffered losses, and then take the opportunity to put pressure on me and ask for a huge amount of money from me?" Zhang Yang asked.

"Yes, please forgive me, Mr. Zhang." Zabol said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

The conscription order is so magical that it can ensure the self-awareness of the conscripted person while guaranteeing his absolute loyalty.

Do you think these props produced by the system are a joke?
"Well, just cut off a finger as a token of your appreciation." Zhang Yang raised his eyelids and gave the order casually.

"It's Mr. Zhang." Without any hesitation, Zabol took out the golden Desert Eagle from his body, pointed it at his finger and was about to shoot.

"Okay." Zhang Yang raised his hand, and the gun was in his hand.

Of course, he was not prepared to let Zabol really punish himself, because there was no point in hitting an absolutely loyal subordinate.

He just wanted to try out the effect and usefulness of this conscription order.

Now it seems that it is far beyond expectations.

I guess even if I asked him to die now, he wouldn't hesitate at all.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhang." Zabol said with his head lowered.

"Well, let's talk somewhere else. Behave normally in front of others." Zhang Yang reminded.

After all, Zabol can't act like a younger brother in front of others.

That's too conspicuous.

Even though Zabol now obeys him completely, some things still need to be done slowly, at least on the surface, according to the rules.

"Yes, Mr. Zhang." Zabol said with his head down.

Inside the mansion, there is naturally a magnificent scene.

Zhang Yang also saw several of Zabol's wives. Although they were all black, apart from their dark skin, they had bright eyes and white teeth, delicate facial features, and great figures.

She is definitely different from the stereotypical African woman.

Zhang Yang couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Mr. Zhang, she is a Somali supermodel. If you like, I can let her accompany you at night." Zabol whispered as he observed her expression.

"No need." Zhang Yang waved his hand and signaled with his eyes.

Just kidding, even if Zabol didn't mind, Zhang Yang wouldn't do such a thing.

Playing with your subordinate’s wife?

Even if Zabol obeyed him completely, it wouldn't work.

"All of you go out. Mr. Zhang and I have something to talk about." Zabol waved his hand.

His wives immediately stood up, bowed to Zhang Yang, and then left the house.

Suddenly, there was no one else in the house.

The topic of the conversation is nothing more than profit.

The country of Congo is known as the world's warehouse of raw materials. It has oil, various metal deposits, and even gold mines. Among them, cobalt and copper are the most abundant non-ferrous metals. The country's cobalt reserves rank first in the world, and its copper reserves are also one of the richest in the world.

It can be said that there is gold everywhere.

As far as Zhang Yang knows, there are many non-ferrous metal mines that have been explored in the province of Salitos.

Zhang Yang is well aware that one cannot become fat in one bite, so for the time being, he plans to acquire the mining rights for two more small and medium-sized copper mines in Salitos Province.

He had also learned about the two mines in advance. They had a very high grade, up to 2.7%, and low mining costs, with a net profit of more than 20%. As long as the two mines were put into production, the annual production capacity could be increased to more than 100,000 tons in minutes.

The net profit of the two mines combined can easily reach nearly 20 billion.

"Mr. Zhang, no problem. I will immediately arrange for someone to contact your mining company and transfer the mining rights to you." Zabol said without blinking.

This matter is not difficult at all. If Zhang Yang asked for a mine with huge reserves, an annual output of hundreds of thousands of tons, and an annual net profit of tens of billions, it would be difficult for him to handle it. After all, there are too many people watching such a dazzling thing.

After all, he was just a high-ranking official on the surface, even though he held sole military and political power in the province.

But there was no problem with these two mines. He just nodded and gave them to whoever he wanted, and no one could say no.

"Okay, by the way, there is one more thing." Zhang Yang said, "For the mine under our company's name, please arrange for more people to take over the security."

Originally, Zabol's side did not contribute manpower but was constantly fleecing him, so of course he had to develop his own armed forces.

As for now, there is no need to arrange personnel at the mine. The security work at the mine can be completely done by letting Zabol arrange personnel to be stationed there to ensure that the mine is not invaded by any armed forces.

As for his 500-man mining protection team armed to the teeth? This is related to his next plan.

Since Zabol now obeys him completely, naturally, the more stable his position is and the stronger his power is, the more benefits Zhang Yang will get indirectly.

It would be better if his 500-man mining protection team was deployed into Zabol's army.

Especially the one hundred soldiers, they can be dispersed and deployed in.

With their strength and military qualities, it would be a piece of cake for them to achieve military merits. On the one hand, they could help Zabol expand his power, and on the other hand, they could use this opportunity to climb up and hold important positions in the army.

Just think about it, by then, not only Zabol will be his man, but even the tens of thousands of troops in the Province of Salito, including a large number of officers in important positions, will also be his men.

Isn't it beautiful?

What's the point of a mining protection team of a few hundred people? Is it interesting to indirectly control an army of tens of thousands of people?
Ding!
The system has triggered a random task

Mission content: Please help Zabol eliminate all armed rebels in the province of Salito and help improve Zabol's prestige in Kongo
Mission Reward: The number of loyal and soldier king templates is expanded to one thousand.
Zhang Yang blinked, took the cigar that Zabol respectfully handed over, and fell into thought.

This mission?

Improve domestic prestige? Why not improve provincial prestige?
Is it possible?

In an instant, Zhang Yang's eyes widened slightly.

Is it possible that the system means...
Yeah.

He thought his idea was bold and wild enough, but he never expected that the system's idea was even more...
"Zabol, have you ever thought about running for president of Congo?" Zhang Yang's eyes were a little hot.

The political situation in Congo is quite chaotic. The national government forces are filled with various armed factions. As for the presidency, to put it bluntly, whoever has the bigger fist will take office.

The current President Congo is the former Vice President.

As for how he got to the top?
Of course, it was also through a coup.

But this person has not held his position firmly at all. During the few years he has served as president, anti-government armed forces have frequently emerged in various places. Now that his term is about to end and the general election is imminent, there is a high probability that he will lose the election and be ousted.

By then, a new president who is strong enough will naturally take office.

Zabol, there is great hope!
He is already a high-ranking official in the province of Salitos, so his prestige in the local area is needless to say. If he can completely eliminate the anti-government armed forces in the province, his prestige in the country will be unparalleled. Then he can take the opportunity to run for president and have a high chance of winning the presidency!
The rewards for the mission are crucial.

The loyalty and soldier king templates will be expanded to one thousand people.

In other words, as long as Zabol can wipe out all the anti-government forces in the province, Zhang Yang will have a quota of one thousand soldiers who are absolutely loyal to him.

A thousand absolutely loyal soldiers, can you imagine?
With a thousand elite soldiers protecting him, why should he worry about not being elected president?

Once Zabol succeeds in taking power, he will further place these 1,000 elite soldiers in various important positions within the government army across the country. In this way, he will have the military power in his hands, and his political power will naturally be extremely solid. He can take all the other forces in the country into his hands in the name of the government.

If there is opposition, just defeat them.

The entire Republic of Kongo was unified from then on, and Zabol was able to hold power.

And Zhang Yang has since become the biggest winner and the biggest mastermind.

Really, it’s exciting just thinking about it!
Of course, all of the above are idealistic imaginations. Whether we can finally reach this point is still unknown.

"Mr. Zhang, I have indeed thought about it." Facing Zhang Yang's question, Zabol nodded without disguising, "But it's not the position of president, but vice president."

"We don't want a vice president, we want a president." Zhang Yang waved his hand, "But it's too early to talk about this now. I'll arrange something for you."

"Mr. Zhang, please give me your orders!" Zabol immediately saluted and leaned his legs together.

"I want you to eliminate all anti-government forces in Salitos Province. My people will do their best to assist you!" Zhang Yang said.

The most urgent task is to complete the mission first and get the spot of the one thousand soldiers king.

Absolute power is the foundation of everything.

"Yes, Mr. Zhang!" Faced with Zhang Yang's arrangements, Zabol carried them out 100% without any hesitation.

Later, Zhang Yang stayed at the general's residence and had dinner in Zabol.

The two of them waved away the others and chatted about the details while eating.

"Mr. Zhang, there are still some local forces in our Salitto Province." Zabol mentioned, "local chieftain forces."

The African chieftainship system has a long history, which predates modern civilization, and has considerable power.

Those chiefs, also known as land kings, are kings within the area or tribe under their jurisdiction, with absolute power and the power of life and death in their territory. Even in modern society, in order to maintain its rule over the lowest level, the government can only restrict and transform the chieftain system, or make use of it.

To this day, in some remote and isolated areas, chiefs still have supreme power.

"They obey our management, but sometimes, in some aspects, our government has to respect them and give tribal chiefs certain privileges." Zabol added, "Some mineral deposits are within the tribe, and the mining rights are in the hands of the tribe. When the time comes..."

"We'll talk about it when the time comes..." Zhang Yang waved his hand and didn't take it seriously.

There are numerous tribes on the African continent, and countless chiefs of all sizes. This is deeply rooted in the background of African civilization and is a symbol of backwardness and primitiveness.

However, in the face of the tide of history and absolute trends, everything is fleeting.

Later, after the dinner, Zhang Yang was taken back to the mine in a car arranged by Zabol.

Everything seemed calm.

"Mr. Zhang." Chris climbed onto Zhang Yang's bed at night. "Where is General Zabol?"

Zhang Yang stroked Chris's blonde hair like he was petting a kitten.

"It's nothing. We have reached a temporary cooperation agreement with General Zabol. Starting tomorrow, the security of the mine will be entirely in the hands of the government troops stationed there. The mine can just focus on production from now on."

"What about the mining protection team?" Chris asked with her eyes open.

"Of course I incorporated them into the government army." Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Do you think the government will allow me to have such a powerful private armed force?"

"But this is our power to protect ourselves."

"If we don't hand it over, can we protect ourselves? Can we fight against the government forces?" Zhang Yang laughed, "Don't be silly, we can't fight against them. In exchange, General Zabol promised me the mining rights of the other two copper mines."

Of course, he couldn't tell the truth to Chris, or to anyone else.

What he said at this moment will be what everyone will see in the future and what everyone will think is the fact.

The reason why the mastermind behind the scenes is the mastermind is that he hides deeply enough.

He, Zhang Yang, vowed to be the big boss behind the scenes and make a fortune in silence!
