87_87165 "Who is this guy with a clown-like red hood?" The old man known as the general said slowly.

"His real identity and name are still unclear. But what is certain is that this person is of Chinese descent, codenamed Red Baron, and the third person in the secret society." Michelle said slowly. "The members of the secret society have participated in civil wars, coups, and tribal conflicts in African countries for many times. The civil war in Angola, the conflict in Mozambique, the melee of warlords in Somalia, the civil war in former Zaire. And they made a lot of money from the war."

"Then why did he launch an attack on us?" Joe glanced at Michelle and said, "We have no intersection with this so-called secret society, and there is no conflict of interest."

"The reason is very simple, some people touched their interests." Michelle said with a blank expression, "Among us, some people have made many dishonorable transactions with local armed and extremist organizations in recent years. , including the blood diamond trade in war-torn regions of Africa.”

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

The name "Blood Diamond" has existed for a long time, and it has even been put on the screen by Hollywood. The general reference is to the illicit diamond trade in war-torn regions of Africa. According to the definition of the United Nations, "blood diamonds", also known as "conflict diamonds", refer to smuggled diamonds that are mined and sold by rebel groups in war zones for "special purposes" such as buying weapons, fighting legal and indiscriminate killing of innocents.

There is a saying on the African continent: "If you want to live long, don't touch diamonds." Former South African President Mandela once said: "The diamond industry is the lifeblood of the southern African economy." Sixty-five of the diamonds are produced in African countries. However, behind the splendid octahedron, there are hidden secrets and **** sins. It can be said that the sparkling stones worn by many people may be stained with the blood of Africans.

Joe immediately got up and shouted, "Silver Wolf, you must have a basis for what you say."

"You know that I have evidence, not only evidence, but also evidence. It's just inconvenient for me to come up with it. Because once these evidences see the light, it will not only be damaged by you, but by the interests of the company, including the interests of everyone here. .I just wanted to tell you that the next time you do this, you can handle it more cleanly." Michelle said coldly.

"Okay, you two sit down for me first." The general shouted in a deep voice, "No matter what the cause of this incident is, this secret society has really brought us threats and losses. If it is not properly handled, our influence in Africa will be greatly reduced, which will then affect our series of businesses. You can check it out for me, Silver Wolf. I want all the information about the secret society. When necessary, we can use all means. "

Michelle nodded and said, "I'm already doing it."

"Joe! Silver Wolf is right, if you really want to do something behind the company's back, it's your freedom. But, it's better to wipe your **** clean!" the old man shouted suddenly, "If there is any involvement in the interests of the group, it is also your freedom. If this happens, I won't be so polite! You all know the rules."

Joe's face turned pale, and he didn't dare to say another word. This old general, when 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 ordinary beasts shiver. Chief like a tiger!

But the general didn't seem to want to pursue the matter too much, and instead turned to Yinlang Road, "It is said that in this operation, the team you brought out performed well, right? By the way, the one who rescued everyone What is the name of the young man?"

"His name is Lin Rui, and he's a new recruit." Silver Wolf nodded, but he paused and sighed, "Unfortunately, he didn't withdraw."

The general nodded and said nothing. For this old man, he had already looked down on life and death, let alone such a small role. Without even frowning, he waved his hand and said, "Try to find the corpse and leave some money for his family."

It is obviously impossible to find Lin Rui's body, because he is still alive and kicking. I was walking alone along the road leading to the mine. He walked very carefully, and encountered several rebels along the way, but he avoided them carefully, and did not sneak into the mining area until night.

This is a small village and town developed along with the diamond mine. It is not large in scale, and like most villages and towns in Africa, it is withered and cold. The streets are full of swarthy miners and armed men with guns, and the streets of the Old Town are equally decrepit and dignified. Most of the people here, adults and children alike, come across as bleak 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. However, in Africa, the proportion of child labor has not declined in recent years, but has increased. In order not to starve to death, these underage children are engaged in the same work as adults in many dangerous places.

In the quarry of this mining area, besides diamonds, there are also a large amount of ordinary stone waste. In order to transport those solid big stones away, African children have to directly use the hammers in their hands to knock the big stones block by block. into pieces. In order to break these stones into pieces more easily, they first burned useless tires, discarded plastics and even old rubber shoes in a big pit and baked them together with the stones. At night, most of the plastic fuel emits suffocating, noxious fumes, and the entire mining site feels like Dante's purgatory.

Lin Rui had a worn hat on his head, and found a dirty tarpaulin 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.

This place is even more slums than slums. Most people live in shabby houses, which are not much larger than normal bathrooms. Mud walls, wooden doors, asbestos roofs, no electricity, the slightest sparks from the asbestos roofs, and the gaps between the wooden doors, gave this dark alley some light. There are no toilets, and the stench of human excrement wafts from the trees outside the house. The stark contrast between the wealth symbolized by diamonds and the poverty of these miners is like a malicious satire.

Lin Rui realized that he might have made a mistake. Most of these miners are just children. They lack clothing and clothing, and are engaged in the most primitive mining work with extremely rudimentary production equipment. Lin Rui's earliest plan was to get some supplies here and charge the communicator to prepare for the next escape. But now it's all in vain, no food, no electricity. This is the most primitive quarry. Only the humblest miners and the most brutal warlords rule.

Lin Rui was extremely hungry, and he was exhausted from strenuous exercise all day long. But even so, he still thinks that he has not fallen to the point of robbing these miners for food. And he also saw what these people were eating. Potatoes and a foul-smelling dried fish meal boiled to a viscous stuff on battered oil drums in the open air. And these scrawny blacks don't care much about hygiene.

For them, not starving to death is good enough. Words like food hygiene have never been heard before. There was another reason why Lin Rui made up his mind not to touch their food. Because he knew that because of the staggering rates of HIV infection in the African region, thousands of orphans had to go out to work to survive and pay off the debts of their dead parents. In other words, most of these African child laborers may come from AIDS families.

Lin Rui sighed secretly, and had to turn his attention to other people in this mining area, those heavily armed guards. Maybe get food from them, preferably canned food. Lin Rui really didn't want to think about those mashed potatoes that might be infected with HIV. When he thought of this, he would rather starve for a while longer.

Lin Rui walked around the mining area wearing the dirty tarpaulin, and found that several buildings near the mine were where the rebel guards concentrated. They drove groups of miners out of the mines to work. And when most miners come out of the mine, these guards will check them to see if they have any rough diamonds brought from the mine.

However, it was obviously dark now, and it seemed that the work in the mining area was over. The guard gate will transport the rough diamonds mined in one day in a car. The rest of the people returned to their residence~www.wuxiahere.com~ Lin Rui touched it carefully, and found that these rebel guards were gathering together to eat and drink. However, Lin Rui did not alert them, but sneaked near a truck. He had to fix the battery problem first.

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

So the only way Lin Rui can think of is to use the truck's battery to charge his own battery, and then he can use the communication system to ask for help from the African branch. Even if he can't get in touch, he must at least ensure the power of the GPS positioning device, otherwise he can't even tell the direction and position. Even if he wants to escape, he doesn't know which direction to flee.

Lin Rui opened the door quickly and stealthily, sneaked into the transport truck, and pulled out the power cord from the car, carefully connecting it to the battery he was wearing. In order to facilitate charging, his battery is designed to be connected to the vehicle power supply. So Lin Rui is no stranger to all this. After he finished everything quickly, he pulled out his pistol and crouched on the back seat of the car, gasping for a while. .
