Chapter 212 Robbery, always be prepared
After Xian Yaowu and Gu Baozhang left, Xian Yaowen continued to study his map, not to mention, he actually made some achievements in it.

He remembered that there is the Ahafo mining area in the Sefwe volcanic belt of the "Brown Ahafo Area" 300 kilometers northwest of Accra, which can be ranked among the most valuable gold mines under development in the world, and the ranking is not too high. , but more than ten tons of it are mined every year, but it is not even reflected on the map.

You must know that what he is holding is not an ordinary map, but a "gold" map bought at the airport.

The things that outsiders miss most about Ghana are gold and cocoa. Foreigners come to this country basically for these two things. There is a great need for a map showing the distribution of gold mines. If there is demand, there will be supply. There is no special one at the airport. People are selling maps for 20 pounds a copy, which is not cheap.

After recalling it, he thought that he had seen the information about the Ahafo mining area in Newmont's financial report. He did not remember the specific gold reserves. He only vaguely remembered that the unit was one hundred tons, combined with the mining of more than ten tons a year. Parameters, one hundred tons can never be preceded by 1, nor can it exceed 5, because 500 tons is his memory threshold. If it is greater than or equal to this number, he will definitely remember it clearly.

"Has this rich mine not been discovered yet?"

Thinking of this possibility, Xian Yaowen was not much surprised, but rather a little confused.

In his memory, there were many high-reserve gold mines that had not yet been mined, adding up to thousands of tons. This was a very large fortune, but he never thought of positioning his starting point as a gold mining tycoon. , he knew very well in his heart that high-reserve gold mines were not something he could covet at the moment. Holding gold for a child was a way to die. Even if he missed it, he couldn't plunge into it now.

Money must be earned and spent.

There are only a few channels for large-scale gold transactions. As long as gold is sold by the ton, you can't hide it even if you want to. Others can follow the clues to expose them. Which mining tycoon does not have an armed force in his hands? Dozens of people who are half-familiar are not enough to fill their teeth.

The rich mine was close at hand, but he didn't dare to move. How could he not be entangled.

It is not impossible to just quietly mine without selling, but he has not yet reached the stage of accumulating huge sums to press the bottom of the box. Every penny he has now has to be used on the cutting edge to expand his business territory. There is no budget for mining immutable gold. Forcibly Operation will only make his liquidity stretched thin.

It's like making only 50 yuan a month, but trying to make 5000 yuan a month while saving 45 yuan a month. This is not a joke.

He doesn't think he has the ability to use 5 yuan to develop a monthly income of 5000 yuan. However, he knows that the winner of Brazil's unfinished Jules Rimit Cup is Uruguay. I don't know which bookmaker is willing to give him an odds of hundreds of thousands of times. Betting bonus, even with this idiot, he doesn't seem to remember the goal difference.

After weighing it for a while, he concluded that the possibility of holding the Ahafo gold mine was less than 5%. He did not hesitate and continued to screen the map for the right gold mine.

Take it step by step, you won’t become fat in one bite.

As far as Ghana is concerned, Ashanti is located in the central and western region of the territory, almost cutting across the center of Ghana. It borders Côte d'Ivoire to the west and Accra to the south. It was once an independent federal empire. Over the past 100 years, it has After being taken over by the British several times, it became a directly administered colony and was included in the Gold Coast.

In 1935, the Ashanti Federation was restored, with Prempei II as king and enjoying a high degree of autonomy under the jurisdiction of the Gold Coast.

Whether it is the past Ghana Empire period or the current Gold Coast period, most tribes in Ghana live in a stateless society. There is no Ghanaian nationalism at all. National independence and taxation are none of their business. Whoever has it in their hands With guns, if you can't beat them, just listen to others. If you can't beat them, join them. There's nothing wrong with it.

The tribes that previously belonged to the Ashanti Federation only believed in Ashanti nationalism in the world, and their allegiance was to the king. It doesn’t matter whether it’s the Gold Coast or Ghana. The king points to the east. They don’t look west. The king says to beat a dog. Don’t chase away the chickens. This is why Britain drove away the earth king at the beginning of the century and then respectfully welcomed him back more than 20 years later.

Precisely because they belonged to different countries and had conceptual differences, Ashanti cannot be confused with other areas of the Gold Coast. Although the main population is Akan, this ethnic group is more of a race than a nation. The possibility of a hug is far less likely than a spear.

Based on this, after the team arrived in Côte d'Ivoire, they crossed the border and entered Brong Ahafo in the Ashanti region, then went south into the Ashanti region and stationed themselves in the jungle near Lake Bosumwe in the Ashanti region.

There are different tribes in the Ashanti region and the Brong Ahafo region. On a large level, the tribes in the two places are at odds with each other and there are often high-intensity fights. On a small level, there is also discord between the tribes in the two places, with constant low-intensity fights. , the Bosumwe Lake area is one of the areas where tribes often fight. The situation is relatively complicated and it is easy to fish in troubled waters, which is suitable for outsiders to station.

Doing business can be difficult or easy. The difficulty lies in the matching of buyers and sellers, and the ease lies in the transaction process. Even if the buyer and seller are strangers and do not understand each other in the same language, as long as the buyer knows the goods and the seller knows the money, there will be no worries in doing the transaction. No.

Regarding weapons, Zhu Fei and his party brought some from Hong Kong, which was enough to bluff people, but not enough to launch a surprise war. Before setting off, Xian Yaowen made two preparations. He asked Chuangfei to bring some money. He would buy whatever he could when he arrived. If he couldn't buy anything, he would wait until he arrived. After all, Chuangfei was an officer who had fought abroad and was somewhat capable. He had traveled all the way from Cote d'Ivoire. Buy it, and he collects a platoon of equipment, including British, French and American equipment. It can be regarded as a mess.

However, chaos returned to chaos, and the bullet calibers were generally kept consistent, with full consideration given to logistical supplies.

Regarding team tactics, Zhu Fei gave full play to his solid military theoretical foundation as a lieutenant, as well as his experience gained from studying with German, British and American instructors and actual battlefield combat. He divided the team into three infantry squads according to weapon configuration. Each squad includes:
The squad leader is equipped with M1938 submachine guns, M1935A pistols, whistles, and destructive tools; he is responsible for directing the combat operations of the entire squad to complete combat missions, and at the same time assigns targets for snipers and grenadiers to attack.

There are two grenadiers, one observer and one gunner, equipped with M1 semi-automatic carbine, M1937 grenade launcher, and several grenades; when the target is difficult to approach, grenades will be launched to hit the target.

A precision marksman, equipped with a Lebel sniper rifle and trench digging tools; responsible for striking a single important target.

There are five riflemen, equipped with MAS36 rifles, grenades, and trench digging tools; they undertake close combat missions, and one of them serves as the deputy squad leader.

The three infantry squads are Tan Dajia, Marry Shuimou, and Qidacuo. In addition to the infantry squads, there are two fire support groups, namely "Listen to the Sound" and "Nothing". The former is equipped with two M1924 light rifles. Machine gun, the latter is equipped with a Hotchkiss M1914 heavy machine gun and two R75 motorcycles, one to mount the gun and one to transport ammunition, realizing motorization.

"Blower, blow the trumpet."

There was an open space in the jungle. Following Changchun Fei's order, the bugler standing in front of him blew the trumpet in his hand.

The sound of the trumpet sounded, and the Detective Squadron A fifty meters away carried weapons and launched a charge towards the imaginary battlefield. The squad leader took the lead, followed closely by the riflemen, and the grenadiers and precision shooters were behind. They are widely separated. Looking at a few grains of sand up close, there is no overwhelming momentum at all, but each rifleman can form a triangular firepower team with the other two riflemen at any time, and the direction of the arrow can be switched at will.

If necessary, grenadiers can set up grenade positions at any time to provide riflemen with fixed-point clearing support.

Precision shooters scan all directions, searching for the most valuable target. From time to time, they kneel on one knee and aim and shoot.

As Team A of Tanda attacked the designated location, the trumpet sounded again. The submachine guns and carbines of Marianshui and Qidacuo teams gathered into a straight-line attack formation. They crouched slightly, took small steps, and moved towards Assault forward while shooting "enemies" that appear randomly; one of the two precision shooters stands on a tree and the other on a high ground, with cross fire, providing fixed-point clearing services for the assault team at any time.

July is the rainy season in Ghana. Before a drill is over, it is already raining heavily. It can make people soaked in a few seconds. However, the drill does not stop. It starts over and over again without stopping.

Africans are lazy, and Ghanaians are no exception. They sit and never stand. There is no need to expect the security at the gold mine to be more responsible. The harder it rains, the more lax they become. If they launch an attack on a rainy day, they may be able to achieve no casualties.

His men were practicing in the rain, but Zhuang Fei didn't find a leaf to cover his head. He just stood upright in the rain, shouting at the team from time to time, correcting the things that were not done properly.

There were two people standing not far behind him, one was a man and the other was a woman. The man stared at the training team with envy, while the woman stared at Chun Fei's strong back with affection.

The two are Ao Keshuang and Ao Xue, brothers and sisters of the Ao family. Four years ago, they followed their elders to Ghana to pan for gold. With their hard work and hard work, they were able to find a lot of gold every day, but within a few days a group of bandits came there. They visited their gold farm, but they had no choice but to hand over most of the gold if they didn't want to be shot.

It was nothing originally. After the big head was taken away, the life could be lived happily with only the remaining small head. However, a new group of bandits appeared a few days ago. Different from the previous bandits, this group not only He wanted to steal gold but also kill people. When Zhuang Fei took people to the gold field to observe the site so that they could set up a training ground, he happened to save the Ao family brother and sister who were being pointed at a gun. No, he took the people back to the camp.
