Ali was startled and quickly sat up. He carefully came to the house in front, hid under the window and looked outside.
A long pickup truck, its paint was peeling off and dilapidated. There were many armed men wearing various costumes on the truck. These people did not look like an army, but like tribal armed forces.
Each of these people had fierce eyes and held AK47 rifles in their hands. They were jumping out of the car.
These armed men, who did not look like good-natured people, shouted and drove the herdsmen who had just relocated from their homes. They made them squat in the square in the middle of the village with their heads in their hands.
Several armed men rushed in to search and soon discovered Ali. They were surprised to see Ali so tall. They pointed their weapons at Ali.
Ali immediately squatted on the ground, holding his head in his hands. Then he was escorted out by them and squatted among the crowd.
After a while, several elders were also pressed in.
A leader in his thirties was talking to an elder, but Ali was far away and could not hear clearly.
But watching, the elders had a fierce argument with the leader. Then the leader fired angrily into the air, scaring the crowd into a commotion.
Then, the militants drove away in a pickup truck. Ali heard many women in front of him crying. The men also sighed.
Ali found Old Kuba. Just now, he saw Old Kuba in front and asked him what happened.
"Well, it's the local warlord. Hearing that we moved here, he asked us to pay 10,000 donkeys before he allowed us to live here, otherwise he would attack us."
Ali thought in his mind, ten thousand donkeys. They really dare to ask for them.
There are only more than 3,000 people in this tribe. There are only less than 1,000 young men and women. The rest are old people and children.
There are some donkeys in this tribe, but there are less than 2,000 of them. The main animals raised here are camels and cattle.
With the popularity of donkey-hide gelatin, donkeys are being exported throughout Africa, and now the price of an African donkey has risen to US$300. Because the number of donkeys in various countries has dropped sharply in just a few years, control is needed. Otherwise, there will be
Cause species extinction.
Now, many African countries have begun to legislate to ban the export of donkeys. However, the smuggling trade is still in full swing. This has further pushed up the price of donkeys.
Ten thousand donkeys are worth three million US dollars.
This is definitely blackmail! No matter what, this tribe cannot hand it over.
"Those militants said that when they come again in a month, if they cannot hand over a sufficient number of donkeys, they will kill them."
The entire tribe suddenly fell into panic. Everyone was in danger for a while.
The elders and some leaders of the tribe went to a meeting to discuss countermeasures. Everyone was dejected. After all, their tribe was too poor and only had dozens of guns.
And this small warlord group is armed with five hundred people, as well as pickup trucks and heavy machine guns. They are far from their opponents.
Ali looked at the time, it was already late at night.
He began to think seriously about how he should face this crisis.
This matter was both a crisis for the tribe and an opportunity for him. He knew very well that the tribe would not be able to hand over this huge sum of money no matter what.
There are so many donkeys, even if you go out to buy them, you won't be able to get enough in a short while.
What's more, they couldn't afford three million US dollars at all, and only had the US$50,000 paid by Yang Fan. This was already a huge sum of money for them.
Early the next morning, Yang Fan received a text message from Ali. Because there was no Internet in the tribe, he could only send a text message to Yang Fan through the maritime phone. Ali asked for Yang Fan's support so that he could use this opportunity to strengthen his influence in the tribe.
.
Yang Fan only replied with five words, "What do you need?"
Ali was not orthodox, saying: "Guns and ammunition, body armor, medicine, food and supplies needed for war."
Yang Fan directly sent a WeChat message to contact the scammer, "Does the Hong Kong security team have local arms dealer channels?"
The scammer has just woken up. In two days, the team of lawyers, accountants, and girls will go back. In addition to him staying, the Xiangjiang security team will also evacuate.
According to the new contract with the security company, they will re-send a team of fifty mercenaries to be here to protect the security here for a year. After the new team arrives, the security company will withdraw.
"Yes, you can contact us at any time. Fanzi, do you want to buy weapons?"
"Contact them immediately to see who can supply the goods fastest and what weapons they have."
"Okay, I'll contact you right away," the scammer replied. Then he immediately put on his clothes and got up and went to find Li Zhe.
Li Zhe was born in the military and worked as a mercenary in his early years, so he has always maintained the habit of getting up early to exercise. At this time, he was leading the security team to run and exercise in the square of the castle.
Li Zhe saw the liar coming and knew that he had something to do. So he asked his subordinates to supervise the running exercise. He walked over and gave the liar a cigarette.
"Mr. Du, you got up so early today. You must have come to see me for something."
"Yes, my boss has contacted me. Let me ask if you have any arms dealers who can supply goods quickly. He wants to buy some weapons. He hopes the sooner the better."
"Mr. Du, this is Africa, and it's the Horn of Africa. No one cares about buying tanks or fighter jets here. As long as you don't leave the manor, it's fine. Weapons are not a problem."
"Well, okay, what about the delivery speed? The quantity I want is a bit large, enough to equip six battalions of equipment."
"Mr. Du, there is an airport here with a runway of 2,000 meters. It can take off and land transport planes. Air transport is very fast. As long as the departure point can take off, there is no need to worry about landing here. So as long as you have chosen the weapon, use Swiss Bank's online banking
Pay the down payment, and they will deliver the goods to you. When the plane lands and you check that there is no problem, just pay the remaining half of the payment."
The liar nodded and said: "Money is not a problem. I can pay at any time. Please help me choose a reliable supplier, preferably one with long-term cooperation."
Li Zhe thought for a while and said: "I have a friend of Da Mao who is quite reliable. He just has Da Mao's weapons in his hands. I don't know if you will consider it. The biggest feature of these weapons is that they are durable and easy to maintain. Of course.
There is still a gap between the performance and European and American products.”
"I want this kind of weapon, which is easy to use and can be learned as soon as possible. The simpler the maintenance, the better. It is best if it does not require maintenance."
Li Zhe said: "That's no problem. Wait a moment and I'll push his WeChat to you."
The scammer said in surprise: "Da Mao also uses WeChat."
"It's so new. Nowadays, many people use WeChat to buy cranberries overseas. Besides, we have to do business with Chinese people. Who doesn't use such a good tool? But just go up and browse the products and don't talk.
.You know." Li Zhe said with a smile.
The scammer opened the WeChat Moments and started browsing the content. At the same time, he also discussed with Yang Fan what to buy.
"Look, let me give you some advice." Yang Fan said to Yao Guang.
"Those herdsmen have very few weapons, and most of them lack experience in using weapons. It is best to choose the simplest and most easy-to-use ones, and they will not be able to use the ones that are too complicated."
Yang Fan nodded and said: "That's the truth, then buy ak47. This thing is the simplest and cheapest."
Yaoguang said: "The AK47 is too old and has no advantage in fighting. Buy the AK74. This small-caliber gun can carry more ammunition. These people are rookies. They probably won't be able to kill an enemy if they have less ammunition."
I'm afraid it will require thousands of rounds of ammunition."
