Kisangani is the third largest city in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the starting point of the middle reaches of the Congo River. There are also railways connecting the navigable sections of the middle and lower reaches of the Congo River, but most of them have been abandoned. Jiahe’s office location is also easy to find. There is a five-story building next to the port terminal and the sign can be seen at a glance. Visitors from Huagang Mining and Luoyang Molybdenum were directly brought here. "Mr. Yu, Mr. Xiang, the boss is meeting with Mr. Kong and Mr. Xu in the conference room. Please move over." Yu Zhiqiang and Xiang Hong are the project managers of Huagang and Luo Molybdenum in the Democratic Republic of the Congo respectively. They went upstairs, knocked on the door and entered the meeting room. Guo Yang looked at the visitors and said, "Welcome, both of you. Please take a seat." Yu Zhiqiang and Xiang Hong were a little surprised: "I didn't expect that Mr. Guo would host it himself. It's such an honor." Guo Yang smiled and waved for the two to take a seat. Before the laying of the Kisangani-Bukavu railway, Hua Gang and Luoyang Molybdenum Co., Ltd. came to the door. Guo Yang happened to be in Kisangani and attended the meeting.

Huagang is a consortium formed by China Railway and Power Construction Corporation of China. It cooperates with the government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo to develop mines, basically exchanging resources for infrastructure. In other words, Yu Zhiqiang and Kong Yun are actually a family. But he had to ask Jiahe for help. It reveals a lot of information. Guo Yang: "Mr. Yu, is there a provision for aiding the construction of railways in the cooperation agreement between China and the Democratic Republic of the Congo?" Yu Zhiqiang shook his head: "No, most of them are roads, schools, hospitals and other buildings, but the cooperation is not very stable now." Xiang Hong: "The same is true for Luo Mo. The Congolese government asked for a renegotiation of the contract. Now production has been suspended, and part of the reason is because of Jiahe. The Congolese government is very unhappy with Jiahe's energy forest in Equateur Province, but they can't do anything about Jiahe, so they can only put pressure on us." Guo Yang laughed and said, "Whether there is Jiahe or not, mining investment in the Democratic Republic of the Congo will always have policy risks." SinoMo's mine is in Kolwezi and China Molybdenum's mine is in Likasi, both in the southernmost province of Katanga, close to Lubumbashi. The original mineral transportation route was to continue southward, through Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and then return home by sea from South Africa. Now the two major mining companies want to use Jiahe’s route to leave the port from Dar es Salaam in the western Indian Ocean. In this way, we only need to pass through one country, Tanzania, and the distance and risk will be greatly reduced. However, neither Kolwezi nor Likasi has a railway line to the north. A map was displayed on the projector, showing the existing railway line from Mbandaka to Kisangani. And from Kisangani, there are two dotted lines, one to Bukavu and the other to Kalemie. Yu Zhiqiang: "We prefer Kalemie." There is actually a railway line to Bukavu, operated by a French company, and Kalemie is one of Jacques’ naval bases. “The railway to Kalemie will definitely be built, but it will only connect Kolwezi and Likasi. Who will pay for it and who will guarantee its safety?”

Guo Yang looked at Yu Zhiqiang and Xiang Hong: "Can Hua Gang and Luo Mo handle it?" They both shook their heads. Guo Yang wondered, "Then what are you doing here? Do you expect Jiahe to pay and deal with the Congolese government? Now Antoine wants to eat Jiahe!" Yu Zhiqiang and Xiang Hong looked at each other and said, "We received a notice from above asking us to come to Jiahe. As for the reason, they didn't elaborate." No details? Guo Yang suspected that the two people's superiors might also be confused, and he already had a rough guess. After thinking for a while, Guo Yang said, "Let's plan it first." Kong Yun said worriedly: "Mr. Guo, isn't it too risky? Jacques' influence in the east and south is not enough." "Exploration planning doesn't mean construction will start right away." Guo Yang muttered to himself, "Although it will have to be repaired sooner or later." He regarded the arrival of Yu Zhiqiang and Xiang Hong as a reminder from the upper level. After all, he has been in the Democratic Republic of the Congo for some time, and apart from making money, he doesn't seem to have caused much trouble. After the meeting, Kong Yun and Xu Zhihui began to lay the railway line, and Jacques also sent a naval force to Kisangani. However, the naval force went ashore because the railway line had to bypass the falls. Under the leadership of Jacques, Guo Yang visited the garrison here, who was also a warlord and had a cooperative relationship with Jacques. Kisangani, like Mbandaka, is also suitable for oil palm cultivation, but the area developed is very small. In order to ensure security within the Oriental Province, Jiahe will also invest in the construction of oil palm plantations and some infrastructure near Kisangani. The cooperation model is roughly land for infrastructure. Like Equateur Province, the roads, bridges and docks in Oriental Province are also badly damaged and need to be repaired. Guo Yang agreed without hesitation. Now, at least until we leave the Eastern Province, the laying of the railway will go smoothly. After completing all this, Guo Yang retreated to Mbandaka. The shipyard had begun construction, the plantation area was expanding, and schools were springing up. The number of Chinese is also increasing, and has exceeded 3000, but it is still a drop in the bucket compared to the local people. Moreover, after the local black people no longer faced food crises, they showed a strong desire to have children, and the population expanded rapidly. This forced Guo Yang to think of countermeasures in advance. His ultimate goal is to completely control this place and make it a strategic fulcrum for global hegemony. Therefore, it is necessary to develop the economy, education and industry, but we do not want them to become too big to be controlled. What if a black superpower really emerges? Another thing that China wants to express is that it should remind him that it is time to take some action. Is China ready? Or perhaps new technologies have emerged, giving leaders great confidence. But Guo Yang didn't want to act so quickly. The Democratic Republic of the Congo was still a long way off. This was the private territory he had reserved for himself so that he would not be completely powerless to resist in the future.

Thinking of this, Guo Yang's consciousness entered the seed store. The amount of accumulated natural energy reached 100,000 again, and the domestic environmental transformation continued to provide energy. "I wonder what the Northwest has become now. The Hongqi River will soon be flowing." "And Keqing and Pengye... huh~" Looking at those natural energies, Guo Yang decided to go into seclusion again to find ways to deal with them. However, while he was still arranging his chores, domestic leaders called and criticized him, and also revealed that the country had developed a super-powerful new weapon. From the suppressed excitement in the tone, Guo Yang had a hunch that this would be a weapon that could change the world situation. Moreover, it is likely that it will not be able to hide for long. So people urge him to make some noise quickly, stir up conflicts, and bring chaos to the world. It's already messy enough. Europe is still suffering from foot-and-mouth disease, Japan and South Korea are facing a food crisis, South America, the Middle East and Africa are not a cause for concern, and only the United States and Russia still have strong financial resources. But the leaders felt that this was not enough. It would be difficult to start a fight without a reason. They couldn't just find an excuse to start a fight. According to Guo Yang's idea, since his team had enough advantages, he could just use a basic attack to push all the opponents away. The law of the jungle has been a truth since ancient times, and history books are written by the victors. However, the leaders' requests must be respected. He had no choice but to agree. The Democratic Republic of the Congo has wealth that does not match its strength, such as various minerals, and now food and oil palm plantations, both of which have attracted covetousness. It is not too difficult to stir up trouble. Before the retreat, Guo Yang communicated with Jacques and made his attitude clear: China is willing to support him to take the position. However, the prerequisite is to support Chinese enterprises in eastern mineral resources. China's new energy development requires a large amount of cobalt mines, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo is the region with the richest reserves. This was naturally a banner that Guo Yang was waving, but Jacques believed it because Jiahe was not only powerful in business, but also quite impressive in military affairs. The instructor sent here is also very fierce. Eventually, the two men reached a verbal cooperation and slowly made plans for the eastern Great Lakes region, starting with the laying of railway lines. ... The sun shone through the gaps in the dense forest, and the sound of creaking footsteps was heard, and several black soldiers walked by with guns on their backs. "Captain, after crossing the ditch ahead, we will reach the territory of Maniema Province." When they were about to leave the forest, the soldier walking in front turned around and reported to a black officer in the middle of the team. Haggai was the captain of the patrol team. Upon hearing this, he walked to the front of the team, took out a telescope, and looked forward. “We’re almost to Lubuntu.”

"Are we going to fight? I can't wait." Xiao Hei was eager to try. Hagai: "There will be so many battles that you will want to vomit. There are dozens of armed groups active along the way from Lubuntu to Bukavu. As long as the railway is laid there, there will be fighting." Xiao Hei: "Haha, that's exactly what I want." Haggai put down his telescope and turned to face the group of soldiers. Each of them was an elite soldier, strong enough to kill a bull with his bare hands. "Don't forget what we are fighting for." "In order to transport our agricultural products out, for a better life, for our children..." Several black soldiers followed up with their answer. Haggai nodded in satisfaction and pointed forward: "Remember, we are different from them. They are robbers, and we are here to protect our homeland!" A few kilometers behind this team, yellow-skinned and black-skinned railway workers were installing rails using construction machinery. Executive Officer Negan also came here. This time, he brought all 2000 elite naval soldiers with him. In addition, Chinese fishermen also followed in disguise. Two days later, The railway tracks were officially laid into Maniema Province, and patrols discovered traces of local armed forces. But everything is fine. This is normal. As long as there is no conflict of interest, the more railways there are, the more convenient it will be for these people. However, as the railway was laid deeper, there were more and more non-state armed forces around. Some of them took the opportunity to ask for protection money, but they became obedient after being taught a lesson. There were no major obstacles until we left Maniema Province. Facing the regular army, the ragtag troops along the way had no advantages at all. But Negan knew that the real opponent had not yet made a move. Osokari is a station on a railway line operated by the Vinci Group, in western North Kivu province. "Hey, Smith, where is the person you're looking for? The Chinese construction team is on their way unimpeded and will be in Ozarkali soon!" Keith, the stationmaster, yelled into the phone. Smith smiled and said, "Hey, man, don't be anxious. As long as the road is not finally open to traffic, everything is unknown." Keith: "I don't see any of your people." Smith: "If they ruin Golden Harvest's plan in the end, that would be the most painful blow to them." In the mountain camp, Smith, dressed in a suit, was still an outlier. He put down the phone and looked at a black officer and Nicholas Anthony beside him. "The target is approaching." Zebi's momentum was very sharp, his eyes were like knives: "Don't worry, we are professionals in killing people." Nicholas: "Not only should we kill people, it would be best if we could kill the yellow-skinned technical workers, so that the Chinese people know who is the master here." Zebi hesitated for a moment: "Do we have to kill the Chinese? After all, this is the territory of the Democratic Republic of the Congo." Smith: "Don't be afraid. They are protected by a group of navy soldiers who only know how to farm and fish. As long as you wipe them out, no one will know it was you who did it."

Zebi swallowed, feeling a huge pressure in his heart. Nicholas groaned and said, "If Jacques controls the railway line, his logistics and troops can be replenished at any time. This will be a nightmare for you M23! All the diamonds and gold mines you control will be taken over by Jacques, and you will completely lose your source of wealth!" Diamonds and gold mines were the main purpose of the M23 movement's activity in the east, and Zebi was eventually persuaded to annihilate all railway workers, regardless of skin color. Compared to railway construction troops, M23 is more flexible. In a place called Kabamba, surrounded by mountains, Zebe planned an ambush. A week later, China Railway’s construction team is still working and the machines are roaring. Kong Yun and Xu Zhihui were inspecting the construction site wearing safety helmets. "Xu, we're almost there. We're less than 100 kilometers away from Bukavu." Xu Zhihui: "I didn't expect it to be so smooth..." Before he could utter the word "smoothly", a loud bang sounded in the mountains ahead. It's a cannonball! What followed was a burst of intensive gunfire! The workers stopped what they were doing, and some of them had already picked up their weapons and were on alert. "Damn it!" Xu Zhihui slapped his thigh: "My bad mouth is really not effective for good but effective for bad." "Be on guard, be on guard!" "Ready to fight!" "Be careful to find cover, the enemy has heavy weapons!" Several men in ordinary work clothes shouted loudly, then picked up their weapons and ran forward. Without the two's reminder, the railway workers had already hidden themselves. The gunfire ahead was getting more and more frequent, and the huge explosions showed how fierce the battle was. "Captain, the enemy's firepower is too strong!" Haggai hid behind a rock. The dust raised by the explosion made him covered in dirt. A black man yelled in his ear. Looking at the enemies coming in droves from behind the mountain, Haggai shouted, "Where are the reinforcements? How far is the nearest unit to us?" The communications officer replied: "We have contacted Commander Nigan, the nearest troops are 7 kilometers away from us!" "Damn it!" Haggai cursed, "There is a traitor. Our deployment has been leaked." Communications Officer: "Commander Negan, let us hold on for at least 45 minutes!" Haggai: "Tell him that after 45 minutes, he will have to collect our bodies." "That's... reinforcements are coming." A little black man suddenly pointed to the sky. Haggai looked up and saw small black dots flying rapidly toward the mountain.

At this time, a voice from the camp rang out over the communicator: "Haggai, provide cover, the drone swarm will hunt down the target." "Got it, Mr. Fisherman!" Haggai replied excitedly. At the critical moment, he still had to rely on the fisherman instructor. (End of this chapter)
