An orphan whose parents had died in the Boer War more than a decade earlier, Darwin Andrew grew up in hatred and came to the Transvaal from Orange to work in a gold mine in Johannesburg.

Because of his work, Darwin Andrew had access to explosives, and he once wanted to bring the bomb to the gate of the Palace of Justice, but because of the strict inspection of the military and police, Darwin Andrew had no chance, so Darwin Andrew made an improvised explosive device and hid it behind the door, as long as someone pushed the door open, the bomb would explode.

Fortunately, the bomb was not very powerful, and only Phil was the only one of the three injured agents who was seriously injured and has not yet recovered since he was taken to the hospital, and the other agent fell to the ground with a broken arm, and Richardson was not injured on the surface, but actually suffered a slight concussion and permanent hearing damage.

When Roque learned about the situation, he could only rejoice, fortunately the military police in Pretoria were still in charge, otherwise if Darwin Andrew was allowed to bring the bomb to the gate of the Palace of Justice, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Brad's investigation of Darwin Andrew did not yield much, as Gallaher said, Darwin Andrew was not married, had no family, had no friends, was alone every day, and Darwin Andrew's neighbors did not even know Darwin Andrew.

For such a lone wolf, Roque is also helpless, this is not Brad's fault, nor is it the fault of the police department, this kind of thing is very difficult to prevent.

Of course, Roque did not do nothing, after consulting with Henry, the Southern African Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Justice at the same time strengthened the management of explosives, the states also strengthened the control of dangerous people, and the Johannesburg Mining Union also began to self-correct and self-examine, strictly prevent similar incidents from happening in the future.

In addition to the Johannesburg Mining Alliance, it is the Upper Katanga United Mining Company Limited that is affected.

Upper Katanga is located in the territory of the Republic of the Congo, covering an area of about 518,000 square kilometers.

After the establishment of the Republic of the Congo, the South African Company and the then Nyasaland Agricultural Company jointly established the Upper Katanga United Mining Company Limited, which monopolized all the resources in Katanga, which also contained about 350,000 square kilometres of forests and farms in addition to the mining areas.

The Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Justice of Southern Africa requested that the management of explosives be strengthened, and Alflan-Katanga United Mining Co., Ltd. was immediately notified that although the main business of Al-Katanga United Mining Co., Ltd. was not in Southern Africa, Allied Mining Co., Ltd. was also subject to the management of the Federal Government of Southern Africa.

"It is said that a Boer man planted a bomb in his room and then detonated it while Agent Brad was inspecting it, reportedly killing several agents in Bullard's office." By the time David David, the head of security at Haut-Katanga United Mines Ltd., reported to senior manager Terrance, Phil had already died of his injuries.

"It's a wolf extermination—" Terence was speechless, Haut-Katanga United Mining Co., Ltd. has six mines in Katanga, and the mine managed by Terence is not the largest, but it is the closest to the Republic of Congo, and there are nearly 10,000 African-American workers in the mines, and there are fewer than 200 managers and security personnel.

During the Congo Free State, mining methods in Katanga were relatively primitive, relying mainly on the shoulders of workers and almost no construction machinery.

Mining methods are much more advanced than before, with excavators and railways in the mines, and a steady stream of ore being brought up from the mine via conveyor belts, which is much more efficient than before.

"From now on we have to register all the explosives, and the Ministry of Defense is going to send a security officer to us, it's unfortunate that guy wasn't killed-" David didn't want to be constrained too much, the mines in Katanga are not the same as those in southern Africa, and many things can't be made public, otherwise the Haut-Katanga United Mining Company will be out of luck.

"I guess it's better to live than to die - do what the Ministry of Defense asks, have the workers who escaped been caught?" Terence is not very worried, the workers used in the mine are not southern Africans, but Africans hired from the Republic of Congo and the Kingdom of Congo, and even if there is an abnormal behavior in management, it is estimated that the safety officer will turn a blind eye.

Don't forget that it's 1918, don't demand these colonists with the moral standards of 2018.

Also because of the strict management of the Upper Katanga United Mining Co., Ltd., many African-American workers will flee directly during their work, and the mine managed by Terance is less than 50 kilometers from the Republic of Congo, and it is difficult to find it once absenteeism and escape, which is also one of the main tasks of David.

"If they haven't been found, they have probably fled into the Republic of the Congo, and I have authorized the search team to shoot, whether they live or die." David made an example, these workers were hired through a human resources company in the Republic of the Congo, and if a worker escaped, then notify the human resources company, and the human resources company will send someone to make up for it.

These HR companies are all enterprises in the Republic of the Congo and have no connection to Southern Africa.

"How many times this is the month?" Terrance has a headache, killing a hundred people doesn't solve the problem, Africans are so loose by nature, many people will always disappear for a few days after getting their salary, and the money will not come back if they are not spent.

"The third time — I said earlier, pay them once a year so you don't have to worry about workers running away." David is also helpless, the terrain in Katanga is complex, in addition to mountains and rivers, there are endless forests, and the mining of Upper Katanga United Mining Co., Ltd. is also engaged in timber mining, directly cut down the trees and throw them into the river, and the trees will flow down the river to Lake Mweru.

In Southern Africa, Lake Mweru is called East Lake and is now entirely part of Nyasaland.

"There are more people who run once a year with a salary, and you think they have the patience to wait for a year." It's not that Terrance hasn't thought about it, but once a year is more serious.

David shook his head helplessly, Africans really have no patience, if they pay a salary once a year, they will think that the mine is cheating them.

"Sir, Cave 12 collapsed—" The office door was suddenly pushed open, and a bespectacled staff member hurried in.

"How many people are in the mines?" Terrance wasn't too surprised, it seemed that the collapse was normal.

"A task force—" The man in glasses looked anxious, as if surprised by Terrance's calmness.

A task force of almost fifty people.

"Got it, tell Henry, let Henry take care of it." The latter sentence of Terrance was addressed to David.

"Yes sir—" David, a veteran, gave Terrance a nondescript military salute before leaving.

Walking out of the lavishly furnished office, David was confronted by a huge mine, the entire mountain had been dug up, and countless people were busy in the mine, and the conveyor belt was constantly sending the ore to the train next to the mine, which in turn carried the ore to the river, and then transported back to Nyasaland through the river.

Cave 12 is located at the very edge of the mine, standing in David's position, he can clearly see that the mine has completely collapsed, some people have begun to clean up the stones blocking the mine, and more people are panicking around.

"Henry, Henry, the boss told you to deal with it—" shouted David, who was a technician at the mine and responsible for the safety of the mine.

"Got it—" Henry, wearing a cowboy hat and a white shirt of jeans, waved his hand to indicate that he had heard, and then led a group of workers to Mine 12.

In a place like a mine, once it collapses, it is basically difficult to survive, and Henry is also doing his best, and whether he can save people depends on God's will.

David didn't mean to help, leaned against the railing of the corridor and lit a cigarette, the office was a separate two-story wooden building, where managers and security personnel lived, and the miners lived in a shantytown not far from the office, a wooden shed of less than 20 square meters would house ten people, and there was no place for people to put their feet in.

Standing in front of the office door and looking up into the distance, not far away are several bare barren mountains, which were originally covered with dense primeval forests, but now the forests have been cut down, but there is no time to replant.

Unlike the mineral resource companies in Katanga in the past, Upper Katanga United Mining Co., Ltd. will also carry out proper management while extracting resources, and has a complete sustainable development plan, and now there are workers planting fast-growing forests on those barren hills, but the trees have not yet grown, so they will be barren.

The Republic of the Congo is actually the same as southern Africa, with superior natural conditions and no shortage of labor in the territory, but the economic situation of the Republic of the Congo is very different from that of southern Africa, and now the Republic of the Congo has been established for six years, and compared with the Congo Free State six years ago, the Republic of the Congo has hardly changed.

It cannot be said that it has not changed, when the Republic of the Congo was founded, there were about 4 million Africans in its territory.

It is now optimistically estimated that there are fewer than 3.5 million Africans in the Republic of the Congo, and this is despite the migration of some Africans from southern Africa to the Republic of the Congo.

After smoking a cigarette, David stomped on the cigarette butt and jumped onto a three-wheeled motorcycle next to the office building, which is standard for security personnel, and there are more than 40 of them in the mine, and Terence usually travels on motorcycles.

On the hill not far away, a team of staff with hounds was walking back, and in the middle of the group were several tied up guys, most of whom were escaped workers.
