Expedition to Europe

Chapter 458 Cannibals

Although "Angel Jack" expressed his desire to seek peace, the road to peace is tortuous and long.

When John Higgins came to Port Hedland for the second time, John Higgins brought Melbourne's conditions.

"Angel Jack" must immediately disband the guards that have been formed, and report the area and reserves of the newly discovered mineral deposits to the Ministry of Mines.

The Western Australian government also requires that the state government send political officials and tax officials to Port Hedland, and "Angel Jack" must cooperate with the work of the state government.

This time "Angel Jack" was not polite and sent John Higgins on board without giving a reply.

Well, "Angel Jack"'s attitude was tough enough, so Melbourne and Perth began to adjust the plan again.

In any case, the war did not break out, the tense situation eased, and the peace process was slow, but it was always moving forward bit by bit. From this perspective, whether it was Melbourne, the Western Australian government, or "Angel Jack", they all remained calm enough.

What happened in Port Hedland had no impact on Lan Fang, and Lan Fang's domestic construction did not stagnate. Everything was proceeding according to plan.

In early August, a piece of news set off the entire Lan Fang.

A new immigrant village on Longyan Island was attacked by local indigenous residents. All the people were killed, their heads were chopped off and taken away, and the bodies left in the village had incomplete scars.

The word "cannibal" immediately set off the entire Lan Fang.

That's right, on the former "Papua Island", also known as "Irian Island", now "Longyan Island", there is indeed a group of cannibals living, they are the Asmat people.

In the "Daily News" of the day, the panoramic photo clearly showed the miserable situation of the new immigrant village. The village has now become a ruin, everything has been robbed, and all the people have been concentrated in the open space in the middle of the village and then collectively killed.

There were several heads left at the scene, with small holes on the temples. According to the introduction of the local aborigines, these were all done by the Asmat people. After killing people, they would chop off the heads, peel off all the scalps, drill a small hole on the temples, and then pour the brains into a bowl and drink them.

This is simply insane!

Although the dead were all local aborigines, the public opinion in Lan Fang almost unanimously demanded revenge on these Asmat people. No matter who offended Lan Fang, they must pay the price.

Qin Zhiyuan would definitely not condone such vicious incidents.

Qin Zhiyuan was disgusted with the ethnic policy of a certain country in another time and space. Qin Zhiyuan would not protect those cannibals like giant pandas just because they were ethnic minorities, but would make those people pay a painful enough price.

Qin Zhiyuan was not in the mood to educate those cannibals to be polite and integrate into modern society. For those who did not take the initiative to change themselves to adapt to society, they could only be eliminated by society.

So Qin Zhiyuan found Huang Li and asked Huang Li to deal with this matter.

Deal with it!

Qin Zhiyuan's attitude towards this matter can be seen from this word.

Huang Li's troops are still stationed in Wanghaizhou. Longyan Island is not actually Huang Li's defense zone, but Qin Zhiyuan still decided to let Huang Li take charge.

After receiving the task, Huang Li did not say a word and ordered people to find more than a dozen guides, and then led a battalion of troops to the cannibal's nest.

"What? Are you really going to kill people?" Wu Qing is still Huang Li's chief of staff, and it is Wu Qing's responsibility to persuade Huang Li.

When Wu Qing persuaded Huang Li, the two were sitting in a jeep.

That's right, the jeep was dragged out for a year, and finally Long Chengyuan got it out.

This jeep looks similar to the Willys Jeep, with a low body, double rows of seats, and no doors. It can carry heavy machine guns and small-caliber artillery. It uses a 40-horsepower diesel engine improved by Long Chengyuan. The output power is definitely much worse than that of the real Willys Jeep, but the passing performance is much better than all existing vehicles.

By the way, the name of this jeep is "Bulldog".

Qin Zhiyuan originally wanted to use the name "Hummer", but looking at the appearance of the jeep, it didn't have a sturdy and iron-blooded temperament. Instead, it was short and sturdy and looked like a bulldog, so he decided on this name.

"Hehe, you want to be a good person, then why don't you think about why Master Qin asked us to deal with this matter?" Huang Li looked quite rude, but in fact he was not stupid at all. His appearance was very confusing.

"Why?" Wu Qing still didn't understand.

"Stupid, let me tell you this, in the future, our army will specialize in doing these dirty and tiring jobs." Huang Li is self-aware.

Huang Li led the troops as the first batch of troops to return to China, but ended up with a disgrace, causing the breakdown of the relationship between the Foreign Legion and the Republic of China.

This consequence was extremely serious. According to Huang Li's then superior Qin Haoge, Huang Li and Wu Qing were to be sent to the military court for investigation. Qin Zhiyuan suppressed the matter because of Huang Li's hard work and contributions in the three years of bloody battles in Europe.

However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped.

The last time a strike occurred in Wanghaizhou, it was Huang Li's troops who handled it. Now that the cannibals attacked the new immigrants, it was still Huang Li's troops who handled it.

"Damn..." Wu Qing cursed, not knowing whether he was scolding the cannibals or scolding himself for not living up to expectations.

But after thinking about it, Wu Qing came to his senses: "It's okay, let's go if they ask us to. It's best to deal with this matter cleanly and neatly, so that we can show our face in front of Master Qin."

"That's right!" Huang Li patted Wu Qing on the shoulder and laughed.

"Report, the Asmat area is ahead. The guide said that from now on, we may be attacked at any time." A second lieutenant ran over to report.

"Attacked? With those bamboo spears and wooden swords, why would they attack us?" Huang Li felt despised and asked a little out of tune.

"Come on, those Asmat people have never seen flamethrowers, do you think they will be afraid?" Wu Qing was not polite.

"Son of a bitch! Move forward in combat formation, I want to see!" Huang Li was simple and rough.

"Yes!" The second lieutenant turned and left.

So the soldiers jumped off the truck, put on bayonets, checked bullets, prepared to attack at any time, and then continued to move forward.

Longyan Island is actually very large. It is the second largest island in the world, second only to Greenland. The island is covered with lush vegetation and dense forests. This terrain is actually not suitable for launching a formation attack.

Fortunately, Huang Li found enough guides when he set out. The guides knew the specific location of the Asmat people, which saved a lot of trouble.

The Asmat people live in a valley called "Baliem", which was once a famous tourist attraction in the 21st century in another time and space.

The original text is in Liu # 9 @Shu/Bar!

The Baliem Valley is about 80 kilometers long and 20 kilometers wide. It is located in the central mountain range of Longyan Island, with an altitude of about 1,600 meters.

About ten kilometers away from the Baliem Valley, the road became more and more rugged and difficult for vehicles to pass, so Huang Li and Wu Qing got off the car and moved forward with the soldiers.

Huang Li and Wu Qing wore the same clothes as the soldiers, and each of them carried a rifle. From the outside, they looked no different from half of the soldiers.

This is a habit developed in Europe. Even when Qin Zhiyuan went to the front to inspect the troops, he was dressed like this.

The reason is simple, to confuse the enemy's snipers.

But in the Baliem Valley, this is obviously a bit too much. The cannibals here, let alone snipers, I'm afraid they haven't even seen gunpowder.

On the rugged terrain, let alone the battle formation, the soldiers can only advance in a single line. They don't have much energy to observe the surrounding environment. Most of the soldiers' attention must be on the mountain road under their feet.

In August, Lanfang is really scorching hot. The temperature is estimated to be around 40 degrees. The mountain road under the feet is even hotter under the scorching sun, and the soldiers are extremely difficult to advance.

But in the mountains, the temperature is an illusion. As long as you find a shade, the temperature will drop immediately. The cool breeze will cool your body. This is what it feels like.

Only three kilometers away from the Baliem Valley, Huang Li and his team finally encountered the Asmat people.

This was the first time Huang Li saw the Asmat people.

These people were almost naked, and they looked quite strong, but unfortunately their skin was dark, their stature was short, and they didn't pay much attention to hygiene, so they looked quite barbaric.

There were only four Asmat people who appeared. They only tied a few grasses on their lower body, and there were more decorations on their heads than on their waists. They held a sharpened wooden gun in their hands and shouted loudly in a language that Huang Li couldn't understand.

Wu Qing took the rifle off his shoulder and prepared to execute him on the spot.

"Wait..." Huang Li stopped him, and then raised his hand to call a guide over: "What are these people saying?"

"They are warning us that if we continue to move forward, they will kill us." The guide was quite afraid.

This level of threat will only make people laugh, so Huang Li laughed: "Tell them that we are here to exchange things with them, and there is no other meaning... Well, this, give this to them, let them taste it."

Huang Li said, and took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and handed it to the guide.

"Okay..." The guide was afraid of the Asmat people, but it was obvious that he was more afraid of Huang Li.

The guide hesitated for a while, but still took the chocolate from Huang Li.

The next thing happened naturally. When the Asmat people tasted the delicious chocolate, they immediately invited Huang Li and his friends to visit their tribe.

Huang Li agreed of course.

The Asmat people's buildings are very ethnic, with roofs made of tree bark and walls made of rattan or cattail mats, which are very primitive.

However, Huang Li's attention was under the roofs made of tree bark, where many skulls were hung.

"These are their pillows. At night, the Asmat people will take these skulls off and use them as pillows to sleep..." The guide explained as he walked.

Using skulls as pillows?

How creative!

Huang Li suddenly felt murderous...
