Chapter 990 989. Tribal Armed Forces (35)

In this way, there are many small followers behind Li Du.

This pygmie is indeed not a boy anymore, and he couldn't see clearly in the cave. After they put on black cloths and were taken out, in the barracks, after seeing his appearance and his forehead tattoo, Li Du looked at him. Out of the fact that he is not young.

But he was as timid as a boy, still pulling Li Du's clothes, muttering in a low voice: "Jiujiu Wo! Jiujiu Wo! It's Wo's, Wo sells his head!"

Li Du called Sophie, who managed his account, and immediately transferred 500,000 US dollars to Lei Moning through the bank.

The amount in the account made Lei Moning extremely happy, and he couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear.

Seeing this scene, Lu Guan whispered: "Boss, I feel a little sad. This warlord has failed too much, right? What can you do with half a million dollars?"

Li Du glared at him, and said in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, he is not a warlord, he is a tribal armed force."

Warlords and tribal armies are indeed not the same thing. One is from an unknown division, while the other is from a well-known division.

If the army in Lei Moning's hands is tribal armed, it means that he has legal authority to own the army. Many tribes in Africa now maintain independent armed power, which is the result of the government's compromise.

As we all know, before white people entered Africa, there were very few countries in Africa, and most places only had tribes.

There are often conflicts between tribes, so there are tribal armed forces, that is, tribal armies.

Later, the white people established the country and managed the political power. In order to maintain their rule, they adopted the strategy of pulling a group, isolating a group, and suppressing a group.

Among them, the recruited tribes can have legal arms, the isolated tribes can have arms but not legally, and the beaten tribes cannot have armed forces.

Later, countries became independent one after another, white people left, and black people came to power. In order to fight for independence, various tribes united against white people, and paid a heavy price for this.

Therefore, after independence, the government began to share the benefits. As a tribe that contributes more, it can naturally enjoy more privileges, and maintaining a legal tribal armed force is one of the privileges.

Having legal tribal armed forces does not mean that they will be welcomed by the government. It was just a compromise policy made by the government at the time, and it will gradually weaken the power of the major tribes and withdraw their armed authority.

Chinese people are not unfamiliar with this practice. In feudal dynasties, such as the Western Han, Song, Tang, and Ming dynasties, centralized power would do this. First, kings with different surnames were entrusted, and then their territories and powers were gradually withdrawn.

Raising a tribal armed force is not an easy task. Apart from the newly discovered diamond mine, there should be no other mines in Leimoning's tribal jurisdiction.

In Africa, no mine means no income.

Therefore, 500,000 U.S. dollars is really a big expense for Lei Moning, enough for him to feed the army for a long time-the tribal armed forces in Africa don't have any salary, and the soldiers are all tribal men, so they just need to take care of the food.

After a toss, it was already night.

Lei Moning wanted to host a banquet for Li Du, and Li Du went to see what the banquet was, it was the process of ordinary western food: bread, red wine, steak, fried fish and fried meat, salad, dessert and so on.

He didn't eat much. First, he was not hungry. Second, this kind of food was really unattractive. He might as well eat some African food. Of course, normal food is not roasted rats, roasted bats and the like.

The plantain worm was thrown to Li Du by Lei Moning, with only one request: let him stay in the barracks honestly, not to wander around, so as not to be seen by the miners.

Externally, Lei Moning has announced that the plantain bug has been shot to deter the miners.

Li Du had to stay here for a few days, Lei Moning collected the diamonds, and the lion hunter contacted the diamond appraisal experts. They will come here to appraise the authenticity and quality of the diamonds, and then they will negotiate the price.

Seeing that Li Du saved the plantain bug and didn't chop up his penis for stew, Lei Moning understood what he was like, and knew that he hated violence, cruelty and high-handed rule.

Nothing happened the next day, Li Du rested in his room. By the way, let's communicate with the plantain bug. He is very interested in this guy's Chinese, and he wants to know who taught him.

In addition, he is also very interested in some words of the plantain bug.

As a result, this buddy's brain is not very good. After a day, he just keeps hiding on the bed and talking to himself.

But he is healthy, he can eat more, and there seems to be a trash can hidden in his small body. Godzilla ate half of a basket of toast, and the others half.

Among them, Li Du, Brother Lang, and Luguan eat the same amount of food as plantain worms.

On the third day, Lei Moning invited him to have breakfast, and said enthusiastically: "Mr. Li, I have nothing to do today, how about I invite you to visit Tahai?"

Tahai means bazaar. Except for those big cities in Africa, there are no supermarkets in other places, and they all rely on bazaars to maintain trade.

Li Du asked: "Visiting Tahai? Which city, town or place?"

"Tahai of the tribe." Lei Moning said with a smile, "Tahai of our Jinsicao tribe."

Only now did Li Du know the name of the tribe he belonged to, and after learning about Li Du's character, Lei Moning stopped mentioning his name of the Democratic Army.

In fact, his army is really shabby. There are no heavy weapons, no tanks, armored vehicles, or artillery, no, nothing at all.

They have two helicopters, only one can fly, and the other is estimated to be dedicated to dismantling parts to keep the flying helicopter running.

The helicopter is small, with a machine gun mounted on it, and that is the only assault weapon.

In other respects, the most destructive thing in his army should be the self-modified pickup truck. An anti-aircraft machine gun converted to a flat-firing machine gun was added to the compartment of the pickup truck.

Li Du believed Lei Mo Ning's words, he was not a warlord, he was a tribal armed force boycotted by the government, if the warlord was at this level, no matter how bad Mo Sanbi was to the army, he would have been wiped out long ago.

In the morning, the weather was gloomy. Li Du, Brother Lang, and Godzilla got into a jeep and followed Lei Moning to the north.

They had a total of three jeeps to travel, one for Lei Moning, one for Li Du and others, one with Heige soldiers hanging on it, and a pickup truck equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns as guards.

Li Du looked back, took out his mobile phone and took a photo, which was not bad. This was the first time he had experienced the journey of armed protection.

A kilometer or two away from the barracks, he began to see some tents. He had seen them from a helicopter before, and he thought these places were abandoned after people lived there.

As a result, there are still people living in it. Many black people are crowded in the tents. If several tents are put together, it is a small settlement.

These black people were obviously Lei Moning's tribe. Seeing the convoy, many people ran to the side of the road and waved excitedly. The soldiers on the two vehicles also waved excitedly. These soldiers were not disciplined.
