The fastest updated novels are the last in the world in terms of purchasing power, health, longevity, and education, and construction is even more inadequate, and most of the economic activity has collapsed due to the civil war.

In the aftermath of the war, however, there was a massive influx of foreign aid to help Sierra Leone rebuild.

The ship that Lin Rui and others took was a construction aid ship, and they traveled unimpeded all the way.

No one would have thought that a group of mercenaries had now become a group of workers.

And all of them are properly documented, so there is no need to worry about diamonds being a good thing, but not all good things bring good luck.

An 11-year war broke out in the country over control of the diamond mines.

Before the war, Sierra Leone had a well-known title - "Little Paris of West Africa"

From a former resort to a country with poor infrastructure.

During the war, there was a massive influx of people from the countryside to the cities, and after the war ended, most people were reluctant to return to their already destroyed hometowns and remained in the capital, Freetown.

Disabled people affected by the war live on the streets, begging for a living, while young people have nothing to do and make ends meet by doing small businesses or exchanging huàn dollars.

Sierra Leone ranks 10th from the bottom in the Human Development Index published by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

Now, 13 years after the end of the Civil War, you can still see blackened walls and bullet holes on the streets of Freeton.

The people who used to live in those houses may have never seen a diamond in their lifetime, but they have suffered enough from it.

This is Sierra Leone - the Land of Blood Diamonds.

It was also the place where mercenary activities in Africa were most rampant.

When they were leaving the customs, Lin Rui and the others were stopped, and the personnel in charge of inspection kept rummaging through their entourage.

Long Noon was familiar with this set of usual tricks, and handed over a banknote, and solved all the troubles.

"Otherwise, these people will keep checking and deliberately delay your time. Actually, it's about the good. ”

Long Noon smiled.

They went to the slums.

Drive all the way to the low-rise and dilapidated wool shop, which mainly sells daily necessities such as clothing, bread, bottled water, and fruits.

There was a lot of noise on the streets, many people didn't wear shirts, including a few women, the roads were potholes, and many of the goods were fake and shoddy products.

The deeper you go, the narrower the road becomes, and there is only enough space for a car body, and the villages you pass through are mostly straw houses, and people's mental state has become weak, or lying or sitting.

There were very few people walking around, and the greeting was weak, and it was already one of the poorest places in their country.

Further on, we reached the chief's stockade, where the panther Guray invited the chief and some of the elders to their council hall, which was a large tent with a straw roof and some very primitive benches.

Then they sat in a circle, waiting for the chief to arrive.

"We're here to meet an African chief? I thought we'd be going to a secret U.S. military base. ”

Sergei whispered.

"You'll find out later. ”

The Black Panther Guray said calmly.

"This guy was very useful to us. ”

Soon the chief came, and he was taken aback when he was the panther Guray.

Then he walked up quickly and saluted to the panther Ghuray, his attitude bordering on reverence.

The panther Guray nodded and said a few words to him.

After the two men had exchanged for a while, the black chief left.

"What do you speak, is it the local language?"

Lin Rui frowned.

"It's not. The chief is a friend of mine, and I saved him several times during the war in Sierra Leone. He used to be a member of the government army, and he had many ways, so it was very appropriate to ask him to find out about the situation. ”

The Black Panther Guray said calmly.

"Is he reliable? You've been gone for so long. ”

Lin Rui frowned.

"I believe in him a lot. And my people will keep an eye on him, and if he makes any changes, they will get rid of him immediately. ”

Black Panther Guray said calmly, "Now we need further intelligence and weaponry, and we also need a place where we can hide temporarily. These chiefs can give us. ”

"I hope so. ”

Long Noon nodded, "We managed to avoid Lannis's eyeliner this time, it's best not to reveal your whereabouts so soon." Otherwise, it's easy for them to think about what we're going to do next. ”

"Can he get us a weapon?"

Lin Rui frowned and said, "This time we entered as workers, and we didn't even have weapons. ”

"In this place, weapons are never a problem, but they are used to solve them. ”

Guray smiled.

Soon the chief returned, whispering a few words to the panther Ghuray.

Gu Lei nodded, "He has already arranged all the manpower, and within two days, he will get the news." ”

"A chief works like that?"

Sergei was stunned.

"Of course, whoever is in this land and what they want to do must be approved by the chief. The construction of new bases by the US military requires manpower, materials, and vehicles. They can't do anything without greeting the local chiefs beforehand. To the locals, the president is not as chieftain. ”

Long Noon said with a smile.

Gu Lei nodded, "The U.S. military is engaged in base construction, and it will alarm the surrounding locals to some extent. It is very easy for the chiefs to gather information about this. In addition, he had presided over the destruction of weapons after the war, and his private collection could arm a regiment. ”

The African chief led them to the hut at the back, and when he opened the door, it was full of bundles of guns in straw.

Some were rusty, others were still greased and unopened.

None of them are advanced weapons, and most of them are cheap and practical AK-series rifles.

There are also a lot of bullets.

Park Dong-sang shook his head and said, "If you want to destroy a base, that's not what I want." ”

"I know what you need, come here. ”

Guray took him to another place and lifted the tarpaulin, which was full of shells.

"If you dismantle these, you'll be able to get enough black ladder explosives. ”

Lin Rui thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid this won't work, if it's an underwater blast, the amount of black ladder explosives required is too large and difficult to carry." ”

Park Dongsang nodded, "Underwater blasting, if you can get China's Hysar P30 high-power explosives, or the Krondo fourth-generation underwater explosives developed by Israel." It should have better results. ”

"Okay, I'll figure it out. Give me the specific model and quantity you need, and I will try to solve it within three days. ”

Guray thought for a moment.

Park Dong-sang nodded, "In addition, I also need a delay detonation device, a signal receiver." ”
