Make France Great Again

The scientific expedition team officially set off in the afternoon when Andrei Milanovich led the troops to station in the open-pit mining area. The chief of the Ntua tribe personally came to the river bank to see Captain Gran off.

"Mr. Grandi, welcome back next time!" the old chief said to Captain Grandi with a sincere face.

"Mr. Chief, I hope that your Ntua tribe will be more prosperous after our next meeting!" Captain Grandi also sent his blessing.

"I firmly believe that under the leadership of the Governor-General, our tribe will become more and more prosperous!" The old chief said as he sent two Turkish scimitars inlaid with gems to Captain Grandi and Mirabeau respectively. In Plenkovic's hands, "This is a gift prepared by our Ntua tribe for you. I hope you will be satisfied!"

Captain Grandi and Mirabeau Plenkovic showed a look of surprise after receiving the gift. They never expected that the old chief would be so generous, just for the gems on this Turkish scimitar. , it could fetch several hundred pounds if sold on the market.

If you meet a rich man who really likes the whole Turkish scimitar, even if you pay a thousand pounds, it won't be a problem.

You know, the salary of Captain Grandy's entire team is only 30,000 francs a year, which is less than 1,000 pounds when converted into pounds.

For Mirabeau Plenkovic, who holds the rank of major, this is even more extraordinary.

As the saying goes, people respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot.

The gift from the old chief satisfied Captain Grandi and Mirabeau Plenkovic. Captain Grandi did not mind reminding the old chief. He whispered to the old chief, "Mr. Chief, in fact, this gift of yours is , the person who should send it most is not us, but the Governor who is far away in Libreville!

Mirabeau Plenkovic and I are just working for His Excellency the Governor! "

"But, I don't know the preferences of His Excellency the Governor!" the old chief responded to Captain Grandy. The reason why he gave Captain Grandy and the others gifts was to get Jerome Patterson from their mouths. preferences.

Even though he is just a tribal chief, the old chief is not inferior to the so-called civilized people in terms of worldliness. He also knows that he can only do what he wants.

"You have to ask Major Mirabeau about this question!" Captain Grandi shrugged his shoulders and responded to Mirabeau Plenkovitch: "After all, I have only known the Governor for half a year. moon!

Major Mirabeau has known the Governor for a long time, so he must know the Governor's preferences! "

Having said that, Captain Grandi motioned with his eyes to Mirabeau Plenkovitch to come forward and say a few words.

"Major Mirabeau, what advice do you have?" the old chief said to Mirabeau Plenkovitch sincerely.

After Mirabeau Plenkovitch thought for a while, he responded to the old chief: "The Governor doesn't pay much attention to material things, he pays more attention to real achievements.

As long as the Ntua tribe can continue to maintain consistency with the policies of the Governor-General, the Governor will have face.

Now that the Governor has gained face, your life will get better and better! "

Mirabeau Plenkovic paused, reorganized his words and then said: "By the way, there is one more thing. Our governor is the nephew of the emperor, and he is highly respected by the emperor!"

"I understand!" The old chief nodded and replied to Mirabeau Plenkovic, "Our Ntua tribe will definitely not embarrass the Governor!"

"Although the Governor may not accept your gift, you can change the recipient of the gift from the Governor to the closest official to the Governor, for example: Secretary-General Rastignac!!" Mirabeau Pullin Kovich then reminded the old chief, "Secretary-General Rastignac is the steward of the entire Governor's Mansion, and he has the right to issue orders on behalf of the Governor when he is out.

If you can make good friends with him, it will definitely not be a loss! "

After listening to Mirabeau Plenkovic's words, the old chief silently commented in his heart: I really don't know how many official positions they have in the Governor's Mansion!

Although the old chief had some opinions on the official position of the Governor's Palace, he still kept in mind the words of Mirabeau Plenkovitch. (This chapter is not finished yet!)

Chapter 871 The Helpless Tribe

"Yes! I remember it!" the old chief replied to Mirabeau Plenkovic.

"Okay! I have said everything that needs to be said! The rest is up to you!" Mirabeau Plenkovitch spread his hands, then turned to Captain Grandi and said: "Gr. Mr. Randy, it’s time for us to go!”

Captain Grandy glanced at his pocket watch and saw that it was already three o'clock sharp. He hurriedly said to the old chief: "Mr. Chief, it's time for us to set off!

If we stay here too long, we might not be able to get to the next location.

At that time, we can only spend the night on the boat! "

After speaking, Captain Grandy ordered all members of the scientific expedition team to board the ship.

It took nearly twenty minutes for everyone to board the boat. Under the watch of the old chief, everyone continued to drive eastward along the Ornway River until they disappeared from the old chief's sight.

After doing all this, the old chief yawned and returned to the tribe step by step.

When the old chief arrived at the tribe, all the members he sent out for hunting also returned. Each of them carried prey around their necks and on their carriages. This hunting could be said to be fully loaded.

The tribesmen cheered with joy after seeing the gifts brought back by the members who went out for hunting.

At this moment, the old chief's voice reached their ears again, "Give these prey to those stationed in the mine!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a ignited bomb that ignited the emotions of the tribal people, and the tribal people recalled the incident two days ago.

In an instant, the tribesmen shouted loudly like hedgehogs with fried hair.

"Why! This is our prey!"

"I won't do it! If they have the ability, they will go hunting!"

"Why should we allocate our things to a group of guys who invade our territory!"

…

There were shouts one after another, and the old chief just watched everyone in the tribe quietly. He was waiting, waiting for everyone to vent their emotions before he spoke again.

At this time, no matter what you say to them, it will be of no use. Instead, it will arouse conflicts.

After a while, the shouting gradually decreased.

The old chief spoke to the tribesmen again: "Everyone, I understand what you mean! I also understand the reason for your anger!

But I hope that each of you can clearly realize that we are no longer the unfettered tribe we used to be!

We also have a governor's palace above us, and now they are in charge of us!

And those soldiers are from the Governor's Mansion, which means they are also part of the people who manage us!

We can only try our best to maintain relations with them..."

Before the old chief could say anything, a middle-aged man who looked strong and powerful interrupted the old chief: "Chief, we don't have to rely on them at all. We can survive here by relying on our own strength!"

The old chief did not survive because he interrupted him. Instead, he asked calmly: "How are you going to avoid the sight of those people and survive!"

"We can fight with them and let them know how powerful we are!" the middle-aged man said with high spirits: "They have muskets, and we also have muskets now! (Captured muskets) Why should we obey their arrangements!"

"yes!"

"That's right!"

The middle-aged man's remarks resonated with some members of the tribe. They took it for granted that both sides had muskets and that there should be an equal relationship in terms of strength.

However, the middle-aged man's encouraging words were undoubtedly foolish remarks to the ears of the old chief.

"Then let me ask you, do you know how many people there are in our tribe?" the old chief continued to ask.

The middle-aged man shook his head and said to the old chief, "I don't know!"

"I tell you! There are 13,521 people in our tribe!" the old chief replied, and then asked the middle-aged man: "Do you know how many people there are in them?"

The middle-aged man shook his head again, indicating that he didn't know.

"The country behind the Governor's Palace has more than 30 million people in total!" the old chief said in a stern tone (this chapter is not finished yet!)

Chapter 871 The Helpless Tribe

Said to the middle-aged man.

The people around the old chief had a look of fear on their faces after hearing this number.

30 million people is a huge number for Gabon, a region with a total population of less than 2 million, let alone a tribe with a population of over 10,000.

“And I heard that their army in Libreville has 5,000 people (actually it should be called the Production and Construction Corps).

You said how should we fight them and what should we use to fight them! "The old chief asked the middle-aged man with a slightly ferocious expression.

The middle-aged man was forced by the old chief's momentum and subconsciously took a step back.

"I..." The middle-aged man couldn't say a word.

Then, the old chief raised his head and looked around like a king returning from victory. No one who was stared at by him dared to look at him.

"The reason why I compromise is not because of weakness!

But the strength gap between us and them is so huge that we have almost no possibility of resistance! The old chief said to everyone present in a heavy tone: "That's why I chose to surrender. At least our tribe still exists!"

Our children and elderly will not be massacred by them! "

The old chief told intermittently that when he was young, he saw the tribe being massacred by the army when traveling with his master.

Everyone present listened to the old chief's description, and could not help but show fear and fear on their faces.

"Now that our tribe has become a member of the Governor's Palace, we don't have to fear being exterminated like other tribes!" The old chief said earnestly to everyone present: "Now what we use language to do is to maintain the relationship between the tribe and the Governor's Palace!

Let our tribe's status in the Governor's Mansion remain unchanged! "
