Goldfinger is a bit strange

Chapter 600: If you can't beat them, join them (1/2)

Liu Qingshan pulled Chief Adu up from the carpet. This guy was really heavy.

Soon, several small black children, big and small, ran in from outside, shouting loudly, holding white cornflowers in their hands, and stuffing them into their mouths.

The chief was obviously a little frightened. After talking to his slightly older son for a few words, he felt relieved, grabbed the cornflakes from his son's hand, and stuffed them directly into his mouth.

While chewing, he nodded with satisfaction. No wonder this guy can get so fat. wAp.

The children ran out again, and Chief Adu also followed. They saw a young man brought by Liu Qingshan sitting there shaking a black cylinder and breaking corn tweed.

Presumably the earth-shaking loud noise just now came from here.

This was also the second gift Liu Qingshan brought to the chief. Mainly considering that the chief had many wives, he should also have many children, so he gave him a set of cornflower household items.

"Cover your ears, it's ringing!"

Xiao Wu shouted, and saw the veteran stepped on his foot, and there was another bang. Snow-white cornflakes immediately appeared in the front pocket.

The children in the tribe all rushed forward, stretched out their little black hands, grabbed the cornflowers and stuffed them into their mouths.

A few grains of saccharin are added to the corn flower, so it is sweet and delicious.

Chief Adu was obviously more satisfied with this gift, and he treated Liu Qingshan and the others with more enthusiasm.

Went back into the house, poured coffee again, and then started chatting.

On the contrary, it was Gong Wang who had the most exchanges with the chief, asking about this and that, about underground water, coal reserves, etc.

Liu Qingshan is more concerned about the situation of other tribes and tribes around him. After all, this place is famous for chaos, and the first priority is safety.

The meeting was very fruitful, and the two parties reached several mutually beneficial oral agreements: for example, jointly building power plants, etc.

As for the ocean fishing rights mentioned by Liu Qingshan, that is not a problem. According to local customs: all areas in your territory that are close to the sea belong to your own territory and you can fish at will.

There is no need to worry about licenses or anything like that.

At noon, the chief's wives served a sumptuous lunch. Good guy, it was all meat: beef, mutton, and camel meat. No wonder the chief became a fat man after eating it.

Everyone reported a meal, and when Liu Qingshan and the others said goodbye and left, the chief gave a return gift, which was more than ten kilograms of frankincense granules.

Liu Qingshan thought for a while and asked about the smelly stone that Everya said could be ignited.

Not to mention, one of the chief's wives was disgusted and pulled out a piece of gray-brown ambergris, which was about the size of a volleyball.

This made Liu Qingshan extremely happy, and he happily accepted it. In his eyes, the chubby Chief Adu seemed to have become much cuter.

When Liu Qingshan and the others returned to the station, they were told that the cargo ship had also arrived here, but there was no dock and no unloading.

After some discussion, we decided to unload the goods at Berbera Port in the west and then transport them here.

Because on the cargo ship, there are small four-wheel tractors, Dongfanghong track tractors, ten jeeps, and more than twenty large trucks, so there is no problem in transporting goods.

The only thing I need to worry about is that from Berbera to here, it is several hundred miles and has to pass through the spheres of influence of several tribes. I wonder if I will be robbed.

Since he was cooperating with Chief Adu, of course he had to find this local snake for assistance. Soon, Chief Adu sent Efoya to lead dozens of people and boarded the passenger ship together.

Considering the importance of this batch of goods, Liu Qingshan also personally escorted it and brought 200 militiamen. The old squad leader and Zhang Long were in charge.

After sailing for most of the night, the cargo ship arrived at Berbera Port, which finally looked like a city.

You can see large and small ships entering and leaving the port, and you can also see various lifting machinery and vehicles transporting goods on the pier.

In the city not far away, you can vaguely see the towering minaret of the mosque.

Everya took people to go through the formalities. I don’t know how he did it. Anyway, he didn’t spend a penny.

The only cost is the handling fee for lifting the goods.

The dock was busy unloading goods, and Liu Qingshan and the others were invited by Everya to visit Berbera City.

It’s probably not easy for Everya to come here, so I want to take a good stroll.

Berbera said it was a city, but in Liu Qingshan's view, it was about the size of a town. There were basically no tall buildings, and the mosque was the tallest building.

On the contrary, the livestock market here is very lively. As far as you can see, there are all camel heads chewing slowly in their mouths.

These camels are exported to foreign countries through the port.

Another relatively large number are goats, bleating.

Now that he is here, Liu Qingshan is also planning to purchase a batch of livestock to go back and raise a batch, which can be mixed with goat milk and camel milk, or killed for meat.

It is estimated that raising pigs is impossible here, so the only option is to raise sheep and camels.

Ask about the currency used. The common currency here is the national shilling, and the maximum denomination is one thousand.

However, the U.S. dollar is also commonly used here and is more popular than the national currency.

This is just right. Liu Qingshan is not planning to use the local currency at the moment. The war will cause the currency to depreciate.

He had seen it in later generations. The bundles of shillings were all packed in sacks. They were not very valuable. They probably couldn't be sold back for a sack of grain.

So with the help of Effa and others, they purchased 200 camels and more than 1,000 goats, and they would drive them back together when the time comes.

Effa could only envy Liu Qingshan's generosity.

After learning that there was a cement plant here, Liu Qingshan was also very happy and went to purchase a batch of cement, which would definitely be used to build the power plant.

As for other industries here, there were basically none, not even a steel plant.

After lunch, they returned to the dock. The goods had been unloaded. Both tractors and large trucks had been run-in. They directly loaded some of the goods and set off immediately.

Liu Qingshan also wanted to hire a fleet to transport the goods back at once, but unfortunately he couldn't find one at all.

When Effa saw the truck, his eyes went straight. He got into the cab without saying anything, squeezed the two militiamen in charge of guarding inside, and then gestured to guide the driver.

So the truck team set off first, rolling up waves of yellow sand and quickly disappeared from people's sight.

There were one hundred retired soldiers escorting the vehicles, and the remaining one hundred people protected the large force behind.

Because they were driving the sheep and camels, the team could not move fast, and the tractors of all sizes followed the team.

There were also ten jeeps cruising around.

At night, they set up tents in the wild to camp.

After walking for two days, they probably only walked more than a hundred miles. They saw that the truck convoy had returned in front of them, dropped some supplies for them, and then drove towards the port, and also dropped Efuya, who had been sitting in the car for a long time.

The sheep and camels also attracted several groups of lions, which followed them for dozens of miles. Seeing that they were outnumbered, they finally gave up helplessly.

As soon as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the sentinels who had been sent out came back on camels, ran to the front, and slipped directly from the back of the camels to the ground.

Most of the camels here are dromedaries, which are quite difficult to ride.

The sentry shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy attack, a team of about a thousand people, approaching us from the two o'clock direction!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately became nervous. They had more than 200 people on their side, and facing a thousand people was very stressful.

Liu Qingshan also frowned. The thing he was most worried about had happened.

Their ragtag army was obviously being targeted. Apart from anything else, these cattle, sheep and camels alone were enough to make any tribe jealous.

"What equipment does the other side have?"

Zhang Long was relatively calm. He had actually been on the battlefield.

The sentry replied: "The other side has no mechanical weapons. A small number of people have rifles, about one or two hundred!"

Fortunately, the situation was not as bad as imagined.

Liu Qingshan immediately handed over the command to Zhang Long. He had never been on the battlefield, so he didn't dare to give blind orders.

Zhang Long and the old squad leader and others held a very brief pre-war meeting, and then determined the tactics.

I saw five Dongfanghong track tractors with black smoke coming out of their chimneys, lined up in a row, clearing the way in front.

Behind the vehicles, dozens of retired soldiers were hiding, holding semi-automatic rifles in their hands, forming a simple version of the armored vehicle infantry coordinated combat formation, and going up to meet the enemy.

The tractor drove forward a few hundred meters and found the enemy in the Gobi Desert. There was no formation, just moving towards this side in a mess, stretching for more than a mile.

These people were wearing robes and turbans on their heads. There was no uniform clothing. They were probably pirates or ordinary herdsmen who gathered temporarily.

"I am from the tribe of Chief Adu. Which tribe are you from? Why are you here?"

Efuya rode a camel, hiding his body as much as possible, and rushed up to shout.

The tribes here all belonged to the same tribe, so they could give some face, so Efuya took the initiative to petition and come over to be a peacemaker.

Someone there really knew him: "Effa, you have nothing to do with us. We only want the goods of those yellow-skinned people. Tell them to put down the goods and get out!"

A black man shouted arrogantly, and many people behind him followed suit, and the momentum was not small.

"They are the most distinguished guests of our tribe, Daru, do you want to go to war with our tribe?" Effa also began to get angry. After all, he was still a pirate and was not a vegetarian.

The black man named Daru laughed a few times, raised his gun, and fired twice into the sky: "Effa, if you don't get out of the way, I will shoot you too!"

When he raised his gun, Effa had already ridden a camel and turned around to run back, and there was a burst of laughter behind him.

But these big blacks soon stopped laughing, because in their field of vision, several vehicles with black smoke appeared, rushing towards them.

The shiny tracks grabbed the ground, raising gusts of dust.

"It looks like a tank?" Someone screamed immediately.

"Don't panic!" Daru shouted, "How come the tanks don't even have gun barrels?"

"Could it be a new tank?" someone said in a trembling voice.

They were not regular troops, but a temporary group. They were herding camels yesterday, but today they were called up to rob.

So when they saw the machinery, they felt a little nervous.

At this time, there was a commotion behind the team, accompanied by the roar of the engine.

The people in front looked back and saw that there were more than a dozen tanks coming at a high speed in the dust behind the team.

Looking at the posture, it was obvious that they were going to attack them from the front and back and wipe them out.

"There's an ambush, run!"

I don't know who shouted, and then the whole team began to flee. There were enemies in front and behind, so they ran to both sides.

But they couldn't outrun the jeeps after all. The jeeps were separated into fan-shaped, and the black muzzles of guns were sticking out of the windows, accompanied by roars of "surrender your guns and you won't be killed."

These big black guys immediately became cowardly, all squatting on the ground, raising their hands above their heads, without any resistance.

That's it? The retired soldiers on Liu Qingshan's side were stunned: The battle ended without firing a single shot?

Is this a war, or a game of house?

These outsiders, of course, didn't know the local situation, but the natives like Efuya ran back happily after confiscating the prisoners' guns and told the truth.

It turned out that fighting between tribes here was commonplace. At the beginning, they really fought, and it was common for people to die.

Later, everyone learned to be smart: they were all from the same tribe, and there was no big difference between living in this tribe and living in that tribe, as long as they could save their lives.

So gradually, an unwritten rule was formed: if you can't beat them, join them.

The winning party also abided by the rules and directly recruited them. Everyone laughed and laughed, and they were still good brothers as long as they could fill their stomachs.

Only when wars broke out between different tribes, would they fight to the death with real swords and guns.

But in this way, Liu Qingshan was also a little tricky: how to deal with these captives, or just send them away?

When Evera heard this, he immediately became happy: "You don't want it, but I do. I have wanted to be a chief for a long time, but I don't have money."

Liu Qingshan was also stunned when he heard this: What does being a chief have to do with money?

"If you want to be a chief, you must at least ensure that no one in the tribe will go hungry. How can you do that without money?"

Effa seemed very excited. He pulled Liu Qingshan aside:

"Liu, why don't you be my sponsor? Don't worry, I, Effa, am absolutely a loyal and trustworthy person. I will definitely stand by your side in the future!"

He saw that Mr. Liu was really a rich man. He spent so much manpower and material resources to take root here.

Of course, it was inseparable from the support of the local indigenous people. Their union was absolutely mutually beneficial.

Liu Qingshan didn't expect that he would become a sponsor one day. It felt a little funny, but thinking about the pros and cons of this matter, he felt that it was still very beneficial to his side.

The forces he supported were definitely more trustworthy than those of Chief Adu.

So he discussed with everyone and nodded in agreement. Effa also gathered the leaders of the captives together to announce the decision.

The black guys actually cheered. As for the shame of betrayal, there was really no such thing.

After receiving a round of cheers, Efya ran back to Liu Qingshan happily and said with expectation: "Can these cattle, sheep and camels be divided into half for our tribe? Those guys are too poor!"

Liu Qingshan blinked: This is when we have to start exercising the rights of the sponsor...

The earth was hazy, and there was a ruined city, silent and lifeless in the dim red blood rain.

The city was full of broken walls and ruins, everything was withered, collapsed houses could be seen everywhere, as well as blue-black corpses and pieces of meat, like broken autumn leaves, withering silently.

The streets that were once bustling are now bleak.

The sandy road that was once crowded with people is no longer noisy.

Only blood mud mixed with pieces of meat, dust, and paper remained, and it was indistinguishable from each other, which was shocking.

Not far away, a broken carriage was deeply stuck in the mud, full of sadness, with only an abandoned rabbit doll hanging on the shaft, swaying in the wind.

The white fluff had long been soaked into wet red, full of gloom and weirdness.

The turbid eyes seemed to have some resentment left, looking alone at the mottled stones in front.

There, a figure was lying.

This is a 13 or 14-year-old boy, with tattered clothes and full of dirt, and a broken leather bag tied around his waist.

The boy squinted his eyes and did not move. The biting cold penetrated his tattered coat from all directions, attacked his whole body, and gradually took away his body temperature.

Following his gaze, a skinny vulture was gnawing on the rotten corpse of a wild dog about 70 feet away from him, and sometimes vigilantly observed the surroundings.

It seemed that in this dangerous ruin, the slightest movement would instantly take it off.
