Chapter Sixty-One
He casually searched for a rock crack near the entrance of the valley that could barely shelter from the rain. Tang Guoming saw Guo Nu and Lu Xin, who were cleaning the battlefield and collecting guns and ammunition, then turned to look at the armed person who was tied up with his hands and kneeling in front of him: "Which tribe are you from?"
His eyes were rolling around, and the armed man with his hands tied up behind his back pretended to be confused and shouted in a tribal language that Tang Guoming could not understand at all.
With a sneer, Tang Guoming chose a relatively dry stone and sat down with the automatic rifle in his arms: "I have experienced relatively strict military training with obvious US military style, and have relatively rich practical experience. Will such a person not understand English? When you were in training, did you communicate with your American instructor in sign language?"
A hint of panic suddenly flashed in his eyes. The armed personnel with his hands tied up behind his back were still holding a confused look and continued to shout at Tang Guoming in the native language. The cowardly meaning in their tone was also obvious.
There was still a sneer on his face, and Tang Guoming slowly pulled out a Gebo fighter from the scabbard hanging on his chest: "It seems that you are planning to communicate with others in dumb words in the future?"
Staring at the darkened Gebo fighting knife in Tang Guoming's hand, the armed personnel kneeling on the ground hesitated for a moment, then looked at Tang Guoming's cold eyes, then he spoke reluctantly: "Bister..."
Sneering and playing with the Gobo fighting knife in his hand, Tang Guoming skillfully played a backhanded sword: "It's the Bister tribe again? It seems that in this rebellion, the Bister tribe is the backbone force? Your name? What is your identity in the Bister tribe - I would like to remind you that Tuna is in our hands, so you don't need to lie, it will only cause trouble for yourself!"
The panic in his eyes flashed again, and the armed personnel kneeling in front of Tang Guoming responded in a low voice: "Kata, my name is Kata. In the tribe, I am responsible for... the tribe's armed forces dispatching and simple training of the armed personnel in the tribe."
Turning his head and looking at the guns and ammunition that had been collected by Guo Nu and Luxin. Tang Guoming skillfully waved the Gobo fighting knife in his hand and built his own not-so-long nails: "Where did your guns and ammunition come from? Don't tell me that they were bought on the black market - the AK gun weapons on the black market are almost all of the Romanian versions. But the ones you use are the real Russian original version!"
The frustrated look on his face became stronger and stronger. Kata lowered his eyes slightly and responded stutteringly: "We... have found a weapon supplier, and he can provide us with these weapons..."
With careful trimming of his nails, Tang Guoming said casually as if he was casually: "Weapon suppliers? Such people are everywhere in Africa, but what can you pay for the bill? You don't even spare the fruits and vegetables in several farms. I think there is no spare money to buy weapons that are more expensive than fruits and vegetables, right?"
Nodded slightly, Kata responded and said, "We used the long-term use rights of some land as collateral..."
Tang Guoming: "Including the land that Chinese farms are now cultivating?"
Kata: "Yes."
Tang Guoming: "And that weapon supplier has specially found military instructors for you, and taught you the skills to fight with other tribe members? At some point, will they even assist you in military operations?"
He looked up at Tang Guoming in shock, and Kata shouted in a panic: "How could you know..."
A cold smile appeared on his face, and Tang Guoming's voice also had a little more cold meaning: "The sphere of influence of the Bisther tribe has also expanded a lot. After this large-scale tribal rebellion, should the newly elected president of the United Emirates of Bissau be a member of the Bissau tribe?"
There was still a look of astonishment on his face, but Kata still nodded quickly: "This is also one of the conditions for exchange."
Tang Guoming: "It takes a lot of effort to support a new president to take office. Just the long-term use rights of some land may not be enough to pay this expensive fee, right? What else do you have to pay?"
After hesitating for a moment, Kata whispered: "There are also some trade privileges and tariff privileges. Of course, these conditions must be realized after the new president comes to power."
Staring at Kata with bright eyes, Tang Guoming shouted in a deep voice: "Just to find someone from his tribe to be president and thus bring certain benefits to his tribe, do you rather use your territory and a large part of your sovereignty as collateral?"
With wide eyes, Kata shouted at Tang Guoming with sarcasm: "The land has always existed and no one can take it away. And for our tribe, these barren lands cannot bring any benefits. In this case, is there anything wrong with the right to use these lands to exchange for some visible and tangible things?"
Tang Guoming: "But what you are betraying is the right to use the land? If a country even has its own territory..."
Before Tang Guoming finished speaking, Kata interrupted Tang Guoming without hesitation: "If you can't get what you have, it means nothing to our tribe. If the benefits given by someone are greater than the benefits given by this country to the Bister tribe, then what's wrong with a boss?"
Looking at Kata in surprise, Tang Guoming opened his mouth, but shook his head helplessly: "I'm thinking too much... Okay, let's talk about it now, how many people are left in your front investigation base? How to contact other tribes involved in the attack on the Imperial Valley?"
No longer making unnecessary struggles, Kata answered Tang Guoming's question obediently: "No one guards the investigation base when he left the investigation base. This is the territory of the Bister tribe, and no one dared to launch an attack on the Bister tribe. Contacting other tribes involved in the attack on the Emperor Valley depends on wired telephone!"
With a slightly frown, Tang Guoming asked in surprise: "Using wired telephones to communicate? When will the United Emirates of Bissau have such a wide-coverage wired telephone system?"
Shrugging, Kata replied: "This has nothing to do with the United Emirates of Bissau. It was done by the white people who controlled the land before the founding of the country - they established a lot of settlements and set up wired telephones between each settlement."
Tang Guoming: "So those other tribal armed men who were planning to attack the Imperial Valley are now all in the settlements that you occupied? Are you always maintaining those wired telephones?"
With a shrugged again, Kata curled his lips slightly: "Those white people are afraid that the telephone lines exposed on the ground will be damaged by animals or bad weather, and they will buried the wires underground!"
His eyes lit up suddenly, Tang Guoming turned to look at the only remaining vehicle outside the valley after checking the condition of the remaining vehicles and was returning to Harbala in the valley: "Grandman, let the judge and Lei Gong return to the cave, we have to hurry up!"
