Take a plane to Africa

Chapter 21 Peace Commandos

(Kneeling for collection, recommendation)
Yang Tianlong was very surprised by Wilmots' sudden words.

"Sir, what are you buying the land at the airport for?"

Wilmots smiled lightly, and poked the fire under his feet with the branch in his hand, "Recently, I heard that the airport there is going to be expanded. I think it might be a business opportunity."

Although the current airport in Bunia can only land the largest models such as Boeing 737 or Airbus 320, it is completely enough for such remote areas.

"Is this going to be developed?" Yang Tianlong asked after taking a sip of tea.

Wilmots shook his head, spread his hands and said, "I don't know, I just heard what Raf said. He said that the quality of the runway in Bunia is not good enough and needs to be reinforced."

"I think it's better to wait and see, after all, this place is too remote." Regarding close friends, Yang Tianlong didn't beat around the bush.

"You mean you don't know what the purpose of repairing the airport is?" Wilmots asked.

Yang Tianlong thought for a while, then nodded: "That's right."

"That's true. If it is a military airport, then I will lose." Wilmots said.

"Can the Congolese government provide the money for the construction?" Yang Tianlong doubted the Congolese government's economic capacity.

Wilmots shook his head, "I definitely can't get it out. It is estimated that there is foreign help behind it. By the way, there are many Chinese people in Kinshasa and Lubumbasi."

When Wilmots mentioned the Chinese, Yang Tianlong thought of Manager Liu. He remembered that Manager Liu had told him that there might be civil strife in the general election of the Congolese president.

"Sir, do you know about the general election of the Congolese government next year?" Yang Tianlong looked at Wilmots and asked.

Wilmots nodded, "I know. The current Congolese president's approval rating is not high, and the opposition party is very hopeful to pull him down."

"If the current president can't do it anymore, will he let it go?" Yang Tianlong asked seriously.

"No. Not only him, but also the opposition parties, so the current president is trying to delay the election date."

"If he can't solve the opposition party, the consequences will be disastrous." Yang Tianlong sighed softly.

"More than ten years ago, there was a large-scale genocide in Congo." After drinking a cup of tea, Wilmots slowly told Yang Tianlong about the genocide more than ten years ago.

Congo has more than 400 tribes, the largest in the world. Under long-term colonial rule and autocratic rule, tribal conflicts have been mixed with class and economic conflicts, and have continued to deepen.The two tribes in Ituri Province, the Homer and the Lando, have long disliked and mistrusted each other.During the colonial period and the autocratic period, the two tribes could still coexist and maintain relative peace, but the Ugandan army entered here in [-] due to the Congolese Civil War, breaking the fragile harmony between the two tribes.

On xx, just 40 kilometers north of Bunia, hundreds of Randu militants ransacked several Homer villages one after another, massacring about 1000 Homer people.

The attack was called by a bullhorn, and it took only 2 hours before and after.The scene was extremely cruel. The Landu people cut open the corpses of many Homers and used the hot hearts and livers as their "feast".However, that massacre was only a prelude, and something more terrible was about to happen.

The Dus went from house to house, kicking open doors, pulling Homer out of bed, out of wardrobe, out of bed, dragging him into the street and shooting him.They shouted: "Out all Homer, the Lando has come!" When the massacre was over, they celebrated by parading through the empty streets, waving the arms of the dead!

In anticipation of the retreat of the Ugandan army, hundreds of militants from the Homer and Landu tribe gathered in the mountains outside Bunia. Homer’s militia was disbanded after being defeated by the Ugandan army a month ago, but the Landu tribe still They are constantly training and slowly approaching the town.

The last Ugandan soldier is expected to leave in two weeks.The Homers knew that when that time came the Lando would immediately overrun the town.And the Homers among the inhabitants of Bunia will become the center of "hunting".Everyone had a premonition of the imminent massacre.After the Ugandan army completely withdrew, the Randu militants prepared to bloodbath Bunia, and the United Nations representative to Congo invited the leaders of the Landu and Homer tribes to Bunia for peace talks.But the men were not asked to surrender their weapons.

When the armed elements of the Randu tribe first appeared on the streets, the quiet life ended.They stalked the streets, stopping at every restaurant to ask for beer, Kalashnikovs and pouches of bullets slung over their shoulders.Before sunset, the few Landu militiamen occupied the whole of Bunia, and there were no Homer people on the streets. Legend has it that the Landu militiamen have a bad habit. Before the sun sets, they must kill A man walking on the street, dumping a dead body on the street, leaving it to rot.

In Bunia, Wilmots met Cole, the brigade commander of the Ugandan army.General Kayla, he is the commander-in-chief of the Ugandan army in Congo.They talked a lot together, and he was in Bunia directing his troops out of the Congo.UN peacekeepers might be able to feed the Homers, but not save their lives.What the United Nations did not anticipate was that it was the presence of Ugandan troops that might prevent future massacres.It must be admitted that the Ugandan army is by no means kind, but only they can become the "law" between the Homer and the Landu.

General Kayla said: "The Randu people are beasts. They have no conscience and no repentance. I have a soldier who was boiled and eaten by them. As for beheading, dismemberment, and tongue cutting, it is not uncommon. You say , can the soldiers of the United Nations deal with this kind of person?"

……

Mr. Wilmots finished telling this story with tears in his eyes. He told Yang Tianlong that because of the further intensification of the turmoil, he had to return to Belgium with the local Belgians for safety reasons, until everything calmed down half a year later. This is back to Bunia, until today.

After listening to Wilmots' narration, Yang Tianlong was shocked. He never thought that such a bloody tragedy would happen in Bunia.

"We don't want to see that day come again." Wilmots said with a serious face, "So, I invited many friends to come here."

"Mr. Love was also invited by you?" Yang Tianlong asked.

Wilmots nodded, "Yes, he is a very good soldier, I hope his strength can shake this place."

"Sometimes it's useless to rely on individuals alone." Yang Tianlong told him seriously.

"But our external power has become stronger. Let the world know about Bunia and Lake Albert. I don't think they dare to mess around." Mr. Wilmots said excitedly, "Huaxia Dragon, you Do you know? After the arrival of Raf, we formed the Bunia Peace Commando, there are many soldiers with unique skills, and we will always make our own contribution to the peace of Bunia.”

Yang Tianlong nodded with admiration on his face, "Sir, your approach is very correct."

"So I chose to stay here." Wilmots smiled shyly, "I hope tomorrow will be better here."

"If possible, I would be happy to join your team." Yang Tianlong told him.

"Really?" Wilmots didn't expect that the biggest gain today would be to have another close friend who truly loves peace.

"Of course." Yang Tianlong raised his teacup as he said, "Let us wish that there will be no more wars in Bunia, and may there be peace here forever."

Wilmots nodded, and then raised his teacup high.

Before leaving, Wilmots told Yang Tianlong that their team would get together every Friday afternoon, and since they joined the team, don't forget to come.

Yang Tianlong nodded and raised his hands high, clapping vigorously with Wilmots: "No problem."

After sending Wilmots away, the bonfire gradually went out.Just as he got up to wash up, suddenly there was a rustling in the nearby thorn forest.
