Make France Great Again

Chapter 876 The Governor Gradually Darkens

The party lasted from 7 o'clock in the evening to 11 o'clock in the evening. During this period, the bureaucrats of the Governor's Palace, under the hint of Secretary-General Rastignac, acted as hosts and frequently clinked glasses with this group of geologists under the light of candlelight. During the meal, I drank glasses of red wine.

By the end of the party, none of the geologists could stand upright. Everyone was slumped in chairs, with a slight blush on their faces. If you touch them with your hands, you can feel a trace of heat.

With a smile on his face, Rastignac looked at the faceless group of geologists in front of him, then turned to Governor Jerome Patterson and said, "Your Excellency, they are all drunk!"

Governor Jerome Patterson looked at the geologist in front of him with a slightly complicated expression, and couldn't help but ask Rastignac: "Rastignac, do we have to use this method?"

"Governor, we must use this method!" Rastignac said without any room for compromise, "If we don't do this, they will flee here quickly after the survey is completed!

Your Excellency, Governor, very few people would want to stay in this hellish place!

If we don't use some means, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to stay here! "

"But..." Jerome Patterson's attitude was still hesitant.

"Your Majesty the Governor, this is also for the Governor's Palace!" Secretary-General Rastignac responded to Jérôme Patterson.

This sentence was like the last straw that broke Jerome Patterson's mind. Jerome Patterson let out a breath and said to Rastignac firmly: "Just do as you say. !”

Rastignac, who had received the authorization from Jérôme Patterson, had a smile on his face, and he quickly ordered his servants to bring over the things on the desk in his office, as well as pens and ink.

The servants followed Rastignac's orders and quickly took action, and soon found everything for Rastignac.

Rastignac looked at the agreement he had drafted in his hand, with a sinister smile on his lips, and silently muttered in his heart: Don't blame me!

Then, he woke up the geologists in the trance one after another and asked them to sign the back of the agreement.

The geologists from Lake Mimi couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality, and they asked Rastignac to let them continue to rest.

"Sign! After signing, you can rest!" Rastignac said bewitchingly.

"After signing... can we rest?" The geologist let out a wine belch and asked Rastignac drunkenly.

"Of course!" Rastignac said coaxingly.

"Okay! I'll sign!" The drunken geologists didn't care what the content of the agreement was. They picked up a pen and wrote their names crookedly on it.

"Okay...that's it...that's it! Hiccup! I can...rest...!" After finishing writing, the geologist said in confusion.

"Of course!" Rastignac looked at the crooked signature with a satisfied smile on his face.

With this signature, he is no longer afraid of these guys escaping.

As long as they dare to escape, Rastignac will take the agreement to the Supreme Court to file a lawsuit.

When the time comes, let them walk around without being able to eat.

Of course, based on Rastignac's understanding of these people, they would not dare to file a lawsuit with him.

A group of graduates who have just stepped out of college and a teacher who only stays in school, who is his opponent.

"Okay!" Rastignac waved his hand and said to the servant beside him: "Two of you work together to help them back to the room!"

"Yes!" The servant obeyed Rastignac's order, and two people worked in groups to help the geologist up.

Two of the geologists vomited in the hall because of their bumpy walking.

Jerome Patterson's face immediately showed an ugly expression, while Rastignac's expression did not change at all.

Instead, he calmly ordered the servant to bring the cleaning tools, and he personally cleaned up the vomit.

The drunken geologists didn't wake up until noon the next day. They had splitting headaches and shook their heads thinking about what happened last night.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the room, and the geologists asked in unison about the visitor outside.

"Experts, lunch time is almost here! Secretary-General Rastignac asked me to invite you over for lunch!" The servant outside the door responded to the geological experts in the room: "Secretary-General Rastignac also said that after eating After lunch! He will personally accompany you to the mine!"

The geologists in the room had surprised expressions on their faces after hearing this. They had never thought that they would get to work so quickly.

One of the geologists said with emotion: "It's better to be earlier! It's better to be earlier! If it's earlier, we can leave earlier and come back earlier! Everyone, you don't want to stay here all the time!"

After hearing this, the surrounding geologists all showed affirmative expressions on their faces.

Although the construction in Libreville is not too bad, it is still far behind Paris.

This made it impossible for them, who were accustomed to Paris, to adapt to life in Libreville.

Not to mention that there are various diseases in Libreville, which makes them not want to stay here for a long time.

However, they don't know that they have no way to go back, unless they want to return to Paris with a lawsuit!

"Okay! We got it!"

The geologists put on their shoes and went out with extremely quick submission, and then were led to the dining room by the servants of the Governor's Palace.

At this time, there were only two people in the restaurant, Jérôme Patterson and Rastignac. When the geologist saw the two people sitting at the dining table, he said to them respectfully: "Your Excellency the Governor, Your Excellency the Secretary-General!"

"Come over here!" Governor Jerome Patterson smiled and waved to them, and the geologists sat down one after another.

After everyone went through military training, Jerome Patterson ordered the servants to start serving food.

The servants brought out all the dishes, including caviar, mutton soup, and some things from the sea.

Although the variety of dishes was not as large as last night's party, it was still enough for them to be full.

The geologists thanked Jerome Patterson, who then asked if they would like to drink some wine.

The geologists rejected Jerome Patterson's suggestion one after another. Jerome Patterson said to everyone present: "Since none of you are willing to drink, then forget it!

We’ll drink it when we have the chance! "

"That's right! We will have plenty of opportunities to drink in the future!" Secretary-General Rastignac also echoed.

After hearing these words, the geologists showed a trace of resistance on their faces. They were unwilling to stay in this ghost place.

Jérôme Patterson noticed the resistance on the geologists' faces. He understood that these people did not want to stay here at all. He couldn't help but feel glad that he listened to Rastignac's words yesterday.

"Eat! Eat!" Jerome Patterson pointed at the plate in front of him and said to everyone present.

Everyone started to feast, and the whole lunch was over in just one hour.

The well-fed geologists began to wonder when Rastignac would set off.

Rastignac said to the geologist: "We can set off now!"

"Okay! Leave early and come back early!

"The geologist made a pun.

"That's right!" Rastignac also said to everyone present with a false expression on his face.

The geologist and Rastignac called the carriage to leave the Governor's Palace and stopped at the harbor pier.

At the port pier, Rastignac called a steam gunboat at an extremely fast speed, which was the only naval equipment in Libreville.

Under Rastignac's instructions, everyone boarded the boat in order.

The gunboat started slowly and then headed south. It took only half an hour to reach the mouth of the Ornway River.

We continued walking along the river mouth, and after another two hours, we finally arrived near the Ntuya tribe.

At this time, the old chief of the Ntuya tribe was leading the tribe's soldiers, standing on the shore waiting for Rastignac and others to appear. (Rastignac sent someone to notify the Ntuya tribe yesterday and asked them to come and greet them)

After Rastignac and others disembarked from the boat, the chief of the Ntua tribe looked at Rastignac and his party eagerly.

"Welcome! Distinguished guests of the Governor's Mansion!" the old chief said to everyone present in a respectful tone.

Rastignac simply said "yes", and then said calmly: "These are guests from France, and they are going to the mine!"

"We understand!" The old chief of the Ntua tribe pointed to the simply modified carriage behind him and said to Rastignac and others: "Please sit on it as well!"

"Come on! If you don't want to walk over!" Rastignac said to everyone present, and then he was the first to sit inside.

The remaining people also sat on the carriage after seeing Secretary-General Rastignac entering.

The old chief immediately said to the villagers driving their horses: "Let's go!"

The villagers set off immediately, and the tribal soldiers surrounding the carriage and carrying muskets set off with the carriage.

The old chief looked at the retreating figure and remained silent.

Bongo Ntua, who was standing aside, asked his grandfather in confusion why he didn't try to establish relations with Secretary-General Rastignac!

"Don't worry!" The old chief shook his head and said to Bongo Ntua, "Anyway, we will meet him again!"

After a bumpy journey of nearly three hours, the carriage finally arrived at the open-pit mine before nightfall.

Rastignac, who got off the carriage, thanked them with gestures, and the Ntuya tribe left.

Rastignac and the geologists were led by soldiers. Near the mine, Andrei Milanovich also appeared.

"Secretary-General Rastignac, I'm late! Please forgive me!" Andrei Milanovich said with his clothes slightly disheveled.

Rastignac immediately understood that Andrei Milanovic might be doing a useful work, but he didn't know if he had finished it.

However, Rastignac did have some admiration for Andrei Milanovic's ability to attack women on this land.

What a strong taste it takes to get away with it!

With a hint of admiration, Rastignac shook his head and said to Andrei Milanovic, "Nothing!"
