"Who is this guy with a clown-like red hood?" said the old man who was known as the general. Chapters are updated the fastest

His real identity and name are not yet known. However, it is certain that this person is of Chinese descent, codenamed Red Baron, and is the third person in the Secret Society. Michelle said slowly. "And the members of the Secret Society have participated in many civil wars, coups, and tribal conflicts in African countries. Angolan civil war, Mozambique conflict, Somali warlord melee, pre-Zaire civil war. And made a lot of money from the war. ”

"Then why did he launch an attack on us?" said Joe, glancing at Michelle, "We have nothing to do with this so-called Secret Society, nor do we have a conflict of interest. ”

"The reason is simple, someone touches their interests. "Some of us here have had a lot of shady deals with many local armed and extremist groups in recent years, including the blood diamond trade in war-torn areas of Africa. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the twelve directors present were all in an uproar.

The term "blood diamond" has long existed, and has even been put on the screen by Hollywood. Generally referred to as the illicit diamond trade in war-torn areas of Africa. According to the United Nations, "blood diamonds", also known as "conflict diamonds", specifically refer to smuggled diamonds mined and sold by rebel groups in war zones for "special purposes" such as buying weapons against legitimate governments and indiscriminately killing innocents.

There is a saying on the African continent: "If you want to live long, then don't touch a diamond." Former South African President Nelson Mandela once said: "The diamond industry is the lifeblood of the economy of southern Africa." "It's also true that 65 percent of the world's diamonds come from African countries. However, behind the glittering octahedron lies unspeakable secrets and bloody evils, and it can be said that the glittering stones worn by many people may be stained with African blood.

Joe immediately got up and shouted, "Silver wolf, you have to have a basis for what you say. ”

"You know I have a basis, not only a basis, but also evidence. I just can't take it out. Because once this evidence comes to light, it will not only be you who will be damaged, but the interests of the company, including everyone here. I just want to tell you that the next time you do this, you can handle it a little cleaner. Michelle said coldly.

"Alright, you two sit down for me first. The general exclaimed, "Whatever the cause of this incident, this secret society has really brought us threats and losses. If this is not properly addressed, our influence in Africa will be greatly reduced, which in turn will affect a range of our businesses. Silver wolf, you check it out for me, I want a piece of information about the secret society. When necessary, a qiē method can be used. ”

Michelle nodded, "I'm already doing it." ”

"Joe, Silver Wolf is right, if you really want to do something behind the company's back, it's also your freedom. But you'd better wipe your ass clean!" the old man exclaimed abruptly, "I won't be so polite if there is any more situation that affects the interests of the group! ”

Joe's face turned pale, and he didn't dare to say another word. This dying old general, when he is angry, still has a power that cannot be underestimated, like the pressure of a beast. No matter how old a tiger is, its low roar can still make the average beast shiver. Chief as a tiger!

But the general didn't seem to want to pursue the matter too much, and instead turned to the silver wolf and said, "It is said that in this operation, the team you brought out is not bad, right?

"His name is Lin Rui, and he is a newcomer who has recently joined. Silver Wolf nodded, but he paused and sighed, "It's a pity that he didn't withdraw. ”

The general nodded and said nothing. For this old man, he has long looked down on life and death, let alone such a small role. He didn't even frown, he waved his hand and said, "Try to find the corpse and leave another sum of money for his family." ”

It was obviously impossible to find Lin Rui's body, because he was still alive. He is walking alone along the road leading to the mine. He walked very carefully, encountering several rebels along the way, but he was careful to avoid them, and it was not until night that he infiltrated the mines.

This is a small village that has developed along with the diamond mines, it is not large, and like most villages and towns in Africa, it is withered and cold. The streets are filled with swarthy miners and armed men with guns, and the streets of the Old Town are equally dilapidated and undignified. Most people here, both adults and children, come across as cold and dazed, self-defeating like a neighborhood.

In a highly developed modern society, child labor seems to be gradually becoming a thing of the past. In Africa, however, the proportion of child labourers has not declined in recent years, but has been on the rise, and these underage children are doing the same work as adults in many dangerous places in order not to starve to death.

In addition to diamonds, there is a large amount of common stone waste in the quarry of this mining area, and in order to transport the sturdy large stones, the children of Africa have to use their hammers to break the large stones into pieces. In order to make these stones easier to break, they first set fire to useless tires, discarded plastic and even old rubber shoes, and put them in a large pit and roasted them with the stones. At night, most of the plastic fuel emits a suffocating toxic smoke, and the entire mining site is like Dante's purgatory.

Lin Rui had a shabby hat pressed on his head, and found a dirty oilcloth to drape over his body. This makes him look more like a wandering local miner. His body was tightly covered and he wore gloves, as long as he didn't raise his head, no one would find out that he was a yellow race.

It's even more slum-like, and most people live in shabby houses that don't size much larger than normal bathrooms. The mud walls, the wooden doors, the asbestos roof, there was no electricity, and the slightest fire came through the cracks between the asbestos roof and the wooden door, giving this black alley some light. There were no toilets, and the stench of human feces wafted from the bushes outside the house. The stark contrast between the wealth symbolized by the diamond and the poverty of these miners is like a malicious ironic joke.

Lin Rui realized that he might have made a mistake. Most of these miners are just children, who lack clothes and are engaged in the most primitive mining work with very rudimentary production equipment. And Lin Rui's earliest plan was to get some supplies here, and recharge the communicator to prepare for the next escape. But now everything is in vain, there is no food, no electricity supply. This is one of the most primitive quarries. Only the humblest miners and the most brutal warlords rule.

Lin Rui was extremely hungry, and the strenuous exercise for a whole day had exhausted him. But even so, he still thinks he hasn't fallen enough to rob the miners of food. And he also saw what these people were eating. Potatoes and a foul-smelling dried fishmeal were boiled into a sticky substance on a dilapidated oil drum in the open air. And these scrawny blacks don't care much about hygiene.

For them, it's good not to starve to death. I've never heard of a word like food hygiene. There was another reason that also made Lin Rui make up his mind not to touch their food. Because he knows that thousands of orphans are forced to work outside the home in order to survive and pay off the debts of their dead parents due to the appalling rate of HIV infection in the region. In other words, most of these child labourers in Africa are likely to come from families with AIDS.

Lin Rui sighed secretly, and had to look at the other people in this mining area, those heavily armed guards. Maybe you can get food, preferably canned food, from them. Lin Rui really didn't want to think about those mashed potatoes that might have been infected with HIV, and when he thought of this, he was willing to starve for a while.

Lin Rui walked around the mining area with the dirty tarpaulin and found that several buildings near the pit were the places where the rebel guards were concentrated. They drove groups of miners out of the pits to work. When most of the miners come out of the mines, the guards check on them to see if they have any rough diamonds from the mines.

But now that it's noticeably darker, it looks like the work in the mine is over. The guards transported the rough diamonds mined in a day in a truck. The rest returned to their lodgings. Lin Rui carefully touched it, and he found that these rebel guards were gathering together to eat and drink. However, Lin Rui did not alarm them, but sneaked near a truck. He had to solve the problem with the battery first.

He originally pinned his hopes on the mining area, because he thought that as long as it was a mining area, mining lamps would definitely be used. If there is a miner's lamp, there is a battery, and perhaps he can use the miner's lamp's battery to charge his battery. But now it seems that these miners can't even afford to pay for the miner's lamp, and most of them rely on oil lamps and torches. Besides, even with miner's lamps, they don't have a place to recharge, because there is no electricity supply in this place.

So the only way Lin Rui could think of was to use the truck's battery to charge his own battery, and then he could use the communication system to ask for help from the African branch. Even if he can't be contacted, he must at least ensure the power of the GPS positioning instrument, otherwise he can't even distinguish the direction and location, and even if he wants to escape, he doesn't know which direction to flee.

Lin Rui quickly and covertly opened the car door, sneaked into the transport truck, and pulled out the power cord on the car, carefully connecting it with the battery he was wearing. In order to facilitate charging, his battery is designed to be connected to the on-board power supply for charging. So Lin Rui was no stranger to this qiē, and after he quickly completed a qiē, he pulled out his pistol and crouched on the back seat of the car, gasping for a while
