Australian Storm 1876

   Chapter 726

  After resting in the town for a few days, the mountain wind sent a horse to collect information, the farthest depth was more than 140 kilometers, and it ran to the vicinity of the Duke of Enfield’s lair, a town called Mendelfira to spy on the reality.

Ethiopia is an ancient African kingdom with a history of nearly 3,000 years. Mendelfira has been built for more than 1,000 years. After the Italians colonized the area, they used great efforts to build urban buildings, roads and churches, and built perfect farmland water conservancy in the surrounding area. Facilities, now all made wedding clothes for Uncle Hei.

  From the front-line investigation, there is nothing unusual about the Enfield tribe, and most of the tribal warriors and elite cavalry are in Mendfila, and there is no sign of large-scale mobilization.

  In this way, the remaining questions are simple.

  Over the mountain breeze, Haige and Lashoudong led their men to attack quickly, taking advantage of the dim light before dawn, and rushing into the indigenous tribes in the valley, the rest will not be repeated.

after one day

  The mercenaries escorted more than 470 sturdy indigenous captives to return. They received a warm welcome in Qiliying Town. A large number of plantation owners rushed forward, and hundreds of captives were divided up in a blink of an eye.

  As for the indigenous tribe in the valley, it no longer exists.

  There must be some fish that escaped from the net, and the news that the mercenaries bloodbathed the valley tribe could not hide the news, but this is exactly the situation they hope to see after the mountain wind.

  People who are interested may have discovered that only 87 of the 101 mercenaries have returned, and there are 14 people who have no news.

  No one was killed or injured in the raid on the valley tribe mercenary team, so where did these 14 people go?

  This is the cunning place of the mountain wind. The mercenary team of more than a hundred people will definitely not be able to kill Mendelfera, which is a large tribe of tens of thousands of people, and it is protected by an earthen city wall.

  So he angered the opponent through the bloodbath of the valley tribe, hoping to attract elite cavalry, and then harvest lives through the firepower network composed of heavy machine guns, and successfully complete the employment task.

  The strategy is very simple, but very effective.

  These 14 experienced mercenaries were the eyes and ears that he had thrown out. Any disturbances from the other party could not hide from his eyes. Just wait for the aboriginals to be caught.

as predicted

  The news reached Mendefira, which immediately aroused the anger of the Duke of Enfield, and assigned his brother Carlos Do Rosario to lead an army to conquer the arrogant Chinese mercenaries and drive them out of his territory.

  Earl Carlos Do Rosario led 2,200 tribal warriors, including more than 300 musketeers, and another 120 elite cavalry, and they killed all the way mightily.

  A few days later, in a valley, he was lured by a small number of Chinese cavalry and stepped into a trap. The elite cavalry under his command lost more than 40 men.

   Just as Count Carlos Do Rosario was furious, the wind over the mountain led more than a hundred mercenaries to show up frontally, blocking the path of the valley with a swagger, making it clear that the opponent was not in his eyes.

  Sparsely more than a hundred people lined up in a line, extremely arrogant.

  The upper-class nobles of the Kingdom of Ethiopia claim to be the descendants of King Solomon, and have just defeated the powerful regular army of the Kingdom of Italy. When they are in high spirits, how can they stand this kind of bird spirit?

Count Carlos Do Rosario was furious, and immediately ordered the tribal warriors to attack, and then saw the tribal warriors cascading under the muzzle of the mercenary platoon guns. These mercenary marksmanship was very accurate, almost shot. Meat is extremely lethal.

  Under anxieties

   Count Carlos Do Rosario personally led the remaining elite cavalry to charge, hitting a deadly firepower net composed of heavy machine guns, and was destroyed in just over ten minutes.

  The whole battle lasted less than an hour. The indigenous army of 2,320 people was killed or injured more than 1,100 people.

  Only this group of prisoners, the mercenary team led by Guoshanfeng earned 100,000 yuan, which is almost 5,000 pounds.

  Only one person died in his team and three were injured. The unlucky ghost was hit in the head by a stray bullet and died without saying a word.

  The mercenary team returning to the Qili Camp was all excited and started a long vacation for drinking and prostitution to relieve the stress of tension.

  La Shoudong quietly found Brother Hai to discuss privately; "Brother Hai, I have found a way to make a fortune. Would you like to do it with me?"

   "Tell me." Hai Ge put the thick stack of banknotes in his pocket, and he seemed very happy.

  La Shoudong lowered his voice and said mysteriously; "Do you know Aksu River?"

   "Nonsense, we have passed back and forth several times, and we were about 20 kilometers away from Qiliying. Aren't the indigenous tribes of the valley where we were blood-washed were right by the river? Why didn't we know?"

   "Hey hey... The financial road I said is on this river."

   "Oh, let's talk more about it."

"Brother Hai, if you think about it, Sir Sir Alex has hurt the Duke of Enfield this time, and he has sobered up. It is estimated that he has not dared to make trouble with moths in the past few years. Although these black uncles have bad heads. So, but it will not hit the wall forcibly, and Qiliying will at least be stable for a while."

   "Well, I know... the point."

"The Lord Ferguson plans to pull a barbed wire fence to separate our territory from Uncle Hei's, and then open up a 20-kilometer-wide no-man’s land, and build a few wooden forts for long-term garrison. Think about whether a large number of them are needed. wood?"

  "Do you mean...to do the timber business?" Hai Ge got a little reaction and asked tentatively.

"No, let's wrap the river, wrap the Aksu River. Somalia is not allowed to cut trees. We went to the Ethiopian forest area on the upper reaches of the Aksu River to cut down, and then let the big logs down along the river to float all the way to the valley camp. There is a large lake there. Let’s get the wood up and bring it back in a horse-drawn carriage. It’s only 20 kilometers away.” The more excited Dong Yue said, his face glowed red and continued;

  "Brother Hai, think about it. In the future, Qiliying Town will develop vigorously. How many buildings should be built and how much wood is needed. Only we can provide so much wood. What a big business!"

   "Wonderful, wonderful!" Hai Ge's eyes lit up and couldn't help but admire.

  For mercenaries, there is no need to worry about the manpower who go to the forest to cut down. Just catch Uncle Hei and do it. Do you dare to resist?

  As for the territory of the Kingdom of Ethiopia, well, there is no such concept in their minds. Yours is mine, and mine is mine. It's that simple.

  I didn’t grab it because it was worthless, not because of lack of ability.

   Now that there is enough profit temptation, then the virgin forest on the Ethiopian plateau above, the master unceremoniously accepts it.

  Who dares to block my financial path...God blocks and kills gods, Buddha blocks and kills Buddhas!

  Why didn’t Hot Shoudong go to cooperate with the stronger mountain wind, but chose Haige?

the reason is simple

  Haige, these 20 people can't swallow the hot hand, and the mountain wind is different. After winning this battle, the mountain wind will inevitably become the celebrity of Sir Alex Ferguson. After the baron noble status, his power will rise sharply.

  Although La Shou Dong is also a ruthless character, it is the root of La Tiao in the wind of the mountain, and there is no residue left to be eaten every minute.

  Cooperate, it's better to find the strength to be a little safer.

  It’s a big deal to find a few more shareholders. Anyway, there are many roles like Humen, so there shouldn’t be too many small teams of more than a dozen individuals.

  Think about it

  Private ranchers bring their cowboys out to make extra money. Isn’t that a small team of mercenaries? This is simply too common in Somalia, which has a deep tradition of mercenaries.

Haige himself is also a rancher, while Lashoudong runs a carriage shop. His subordinates are hired workers and neighbors, or close brothers. They are mercenaries on horses and guns, and good civilians when they go back and change their clothes.

  The competition in the mercenary business is too fierce. It’s not a problem to have a hungry meal. Many people work part-time.

   "Let's do it, why do we have to pay for the river? Wouldn't it be a lot of money?" The more Haige thought about it, the more he felt that this could be done, and he couldn't help but blurt out.

Seeing La Shoudong’s seemingly smiling eyes, Haige quickly reacted, slapped himself on the forehead, and said with a smile; "Look at my brain, it’s really bruised, or you, Dong. The idea is right, nothing said... Brother Hai listens to you about this.

  He is coming back soon.

  The idea of ​​putting wooden rafts along the river in Lashoudong is not new. It has a history of more than a thousand years in southern Sichuan, and others will know how to operate it at first glance.

  If you don’t contract the entire river to do a unique business, what money do you make?

  As for the Aksu River already outside the scope of Somalia, whether the local tycoons have the right to send out contracts, the brothers didn't even think about it, and don't have to think about it.

  The same sentence...Yours is mine, and mine is mine.

  As long as Mr. Li Jue of Humen nodded, the brothers willingly offered a large sum of filial piety every year, in order to keep the name of this exclusive business for a long time.

  Think about it

Can the barbed wire be used without wooden stakes? I don’t dare to talk about it. You should erect a cross-pile every 10~15 meters. How much wood do you need?

  How much wood does it take to build a building?

  So how much wood is needed to build 100 or even 500 buildings?

Just thinking about it makes people happy. After discussing for a while, Lashoudong and Haige initially came up with a joint charter. As the promoter and main shareholder, Lashoudong put out 2500 pounds to account for 30%, and Haige brought his brothers. Another two thousand pounds are used to account for 20%, and the rest will be recruited by a few reliable people to set up the company's shelf.

  A few shareholders can get hundreds of mercenaries. It shouldn’t be difficult to get Sir Alex Ferguson’s consent. The rest is how to do it.

  Axe, saw, rope, these logging tools must be indispensable, and some black slave laborers must be caught to cut down the forest, the big wood that was cut down was cut off the branches, and it was thrown directly into the Aksu River and floated down.

  You can chop with strength, and float with strength, until the current dries up.

  Anyway, the wood in the river is owned by the company. Even if it is stranded, it will float down in the rainy season next year, and there will be no loss.

  Well, yes, I have to get some cattle from the black natives to drag the wood, so that the plan is perfect.

  Thinking of their happy place, the two of them couldn't help but laugh out loud, the shadows of banknotes flashing in their eyes, and the golden future.
