In order to prevent accidents, all the car lights were turned off, and more than fifty mercenaries built several lines of defense with loaded guns. After all, this was a poor village, and it was very close to the sea, so anything could happen. w_w_w.quan_ben.c_o_m
Under the moonlight, looking from a distance, this land looks extremely barren, the fields are barren, and there are almost no winter cash crops planted. It is very different from the spring fields in China.
The houses are even more dilapidated and look ancient. The two-story building is almost invisible. If the best building is a mosque at night, it looks extremely majestic against the surrounding low buildings. .
Slowly, the lights in the village came on. Gradually, more and more people moved in the darkness. Slowly, someone lit torches, candles, and flashlights...
I don't know when, both the old man and the old woman stood behind Zhang Yang. Even the mercenary leader, at the old man's signal, formed an arc-shaped ***, which immediately set off Zhang Yang's figure. Different, vaguely revealing a compelling power.
Sure enough, when some people saw Zhang Yang, their eyes were filled with awe and fear. Almost everyone could see that this young Chinese man with a flat head was the core figure of this group of people.
Zhang Yang couldn't help but secretly sigh, Jiang is still old and hot. The old man's just a gentle movement immediately established his supreme authority in the hearts of these villagers.
"Zhangyang, Liu Biao!"
A familiar shout came from Aze. In the distance, a leading person came over. It was Aze and Embleton who led dozens of people in a hurry. Embleton saw how many people were coming. Che munitions, ecstatic.
Zhang Yang pulled Aze away and asked in a low voice a few words about the situation in the village. It was confirmed that it was similar to what Embleton described. Indeed, this was a poor village. The local productivity was extremely backward. Although there was not much exploitation, there was almost no economic source, and the yield of cash crops was also frighteningly low. .
Of course, in many cases it was only the next day that Zhang Yang learned that the crops here are mainly rice. However, the variety of rice is poor, and the yield is less than 200 kilograms per mu. This is simply incomparable with domestic yields of up to 500 kilograms per mu. To put it simply, one acre of rice in China can produce more rice than three acres here. Moreover, the farming technology is even more backward and there is no comparison. Domestic seedling throwing technology. Fully automated farming is unheard of here…
Under Enderbourne's call, more and more people came, probably because the old man offered a reward. Even an eighty-year-old woman staggered over, hoping to spend some money. Of course, there were no girls, maybe because of the It has something to do with their belief in Islam.
Everyone is in high spirits, just like celebrating the New Year, and. The look he looked at Embleton was full of fanatical admiration. Obviously, Embleton was now. Has become the hero of the village! Indeed, Embleton deserves to be a hero. He has brought great wealth to the village!
Because of Enderbulton, this remote village has ushered in its greatest prosperity and development in history.
There is strength in numbers, this theory is true, but within an hour, the convoy was already surrounded by a craze. A short time. More than 700 people were actually gathered, and these were just nearby villagers.
soon. Some weapons were moved to a house that Embleton had prepared a long time ago. It is said that this house belongs to the richest family here and is a distant relative of Embleton. When Embleton returned home in rich clothes and said he needed a house, he almost He gave up the house immediately...
There were many weapons and they were very heavy, but compared to the number of people, they were nothing. Even the heavy mortars were carried away by a group of black people.
Obviously, these are a group of hard-working people.
That night, the mercenaries did not leave, but set up tents and settled down. This team, at least, needs Embleton to establish a solid force in the local area before it can leave.
As long as they have money, these soldiers are happy to stay. Moreover, the cost of more than fifty mercenaries with weapons and equipment is shockingly low. Only later did Zhang Yang know that such a huge team, including vehicles, etc., only costs one day. Ten thousand US dollars. When they found out it was so cheap, both Liu Biao and Aze were shocked, with expressions of disbelief.
In fact, after a few days, Zhang Yang and the others learned that in Somalia, the income of an ordinary labor force was less than one dollar, and because of the years of war, finding a group of mercenary soldiers capable of fighting in Somalia was more difficult than finding a group of porters. It's not that difficult. Basically, in Somalia, almost all the people have become soldiers. A mercenary organization of fifty people costs ten thousand US dollars a day, which is already a sky-high price.
After a night of silence, everyone was tired and went to bed early. In addition to the mercenaries arranging manpower security, Enderbulton also arranged young adults from the village to guard the periphery. If there is any trouble, someone will be notified immediately. However, Zhang Yang is not worried. The traffic environment here is too bad, even if there are It is not that easy for an enemy to attack without careful planning...
The next morning, Zhang Yang, Liu Biao, Aze, the old man and his wife, Enderbulton and other relatives all gathered together and held their first meeting.
However, this meeting is relatively shabby. There is no conference table, only a few ordinary chairs, and a cup of boiled water for each person. Here, we are truly poor. Even if we have money, we may not be able to buy anything.
Everyone sat down, and everyone looked at Zhang Yang. Even Liu Biao, who usually talked a lot, remained silent. In fact, the old man had already given lessons to Liu Biao and A Ze. Among the three, one of them must speak. , and Zhang Yang became the leader without hesitation. In fact, this has always been the case. Neither Aze nor Liu Biao had any objections. Zhang Yang was far superior to them in terms of ability and wisdom.
"Embleton, I want to know, how far is this place from the coastline?" Zhang Yang glanced at Embleton, who was wearing a suit and ties. Obviously, Embleton attached great importance to this meeting. In fact, Embleton was already very excited. Every day, after he came back yesterday, he worked hard around the village, lobbying some famous old people, and using his prospects to attract young people to join. Now, he has become a celebrity with a radius of dozens of kilometers, and many young people have already Be proud to follow him.
"About seventeen kilometers." Enderbulton perked up. He had already heard what Zhang Yang meant. There was no doubt that Zhang Yang was going to start establishing his own pirate organization.
"Is it within the scope of your tribe?"
"Well, although there will be some minor troubles, they are nothing to worry about. Don't worry, I have reached an agreement with the elders of the tribe. I promise that I will bring our tribe to glory." Enderbulton couldn't help but stand. He stood up and said with excitement on his face.
"Very good, tell me about the cash crops, economic sources, and natural resources in your village?" Zhang Yang motioned for Embleton to sit down and said slowly.
"This..." Endebleton was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but hesitate. He didn't expect that Zhang Yang would be interested in these. He thought for a while and said: "The main ones are sorghum, corn, rice, beans, sesame, cotton, sugar cane and banana, etc. , however, our village is still mainly rice planting. In addition, the livestock are mainly camels, with some stretches, goats, cattle... Oh, by the way, we also have several beryl and gypsum mines here, but because of the traffic Due to various reasons such as inconvenience, no one is willing to invest here..." 66 Continuing, Endbullton explained the local economy and even gave a general introduction to the yield of some crops.
"Well, not bad, it's better than I expected. By the way, what are your plans now?" Zhang Yang asked with a slight nod.
"My plan... We now have guns, cannons, and manpower. We can immediately purchase a fishing boat as a mother ship, a batch of powerful speedboats and communication equipment. As long as we have these things, we can start work immediately."
When it comes to the pirate industry, Enderbulton immediately gears up, full of confidence in the future, and can't wait to return to the sea he is familiar with immediately.
"Do you know when a tanker comes by?"
"You... don't know?"
"Do you have a way to launder money?"
"No… "
"Do you have a go-between for the negotiations?"
"Do you have a training base?"
Zhang Yang asked several questions in a row, and Enderbulton was dumbfounded by the questions. He suddenly realized that being a pirate is not that easy. It does not mean that you can start work just by having manpower and weapons. (QuanBen Novel Network www.QuanBeN-XiaoShuo.com)
