Soviet Union 1991

(Thanks for the tip from Love on the Street Corner, congratulations on the birth of the first leader of this book, and also thanks to another hater for the tip.)

Of course, it is impossible for Koziye to really support Drakama to become the ruler of Mozambique. These mud-legged people who do not know how to rule and only know how to kill are tantamount to a disaster for the entire country. Of course, political instability will also have a negative impact on the mining industry. This is not what Kozye's superior, Chemezov, wants to see.

So Drakama's promise became a bargaining chip to blackmail the government forces. As long as President Chissano wanted to make some small moves behind his back, Kozye would use Drakama as a sharp knife to blackmail the government forces. Of course, all Mezov is a pragmatic person. He never thought about the verbal promises made by the opposition. The agreement signed in black and white with the Mozambican government was his interest clause.

As for the life and death of other nationalities, he doesn't care, everything is for the Soviets!

When Colonel Kozye went to talk to Drakama, he flew to Maputo in a Hind helicopter in order to show his strong military strength and the weakness of the government forces.

On the helicopter, some hot wind was blowing on Colonel Koziye's face. The white clouds and blue sky outside the cabin door seemed to be at your fingertips at any time. Tanzania was not like Siberia, where winter was approaching at any time. It seemed like eternal summer. He was in a happy mood. Koziye looked at the government pickup trucks patrolling the highway with satisfaction. They didn't take them seriously without heavy firepower.

When President Chissano heard that Dracama had been shot, he could almost be described as crying with joy. Unexpectedly, the Soviets assassinated the top leader of the resistance movement in less than three weeks. The result was no different than the government. The military has been fighting for decades. Without a leader to command them, it is tantamount to disintegrating half of the military strength of those militiamen.

So President Chissano kept smiling when he greeted Colonel Kozye on the steps of the government door. Chissano even gave Colonel Kozye a warm hug when he got off the plane and walked up to him.

"On behalf of the people of Mozambique, I thank you, Colonel Koziye. You have eliminated the devil and brought light to our future." President Chissano's enthusiastic smile did not impress the old fox Koziye. Thinking about what kind of trap he would use later.

Colonel Kozye's reply was somewhat crisp and clear, "Haha, President Chissano made a strong statement. Let's discuss how to reach the agreement we made before."

Only Colonel Kozyer followed Delakama into the President's Office. He sat casually on the large sofa, with an African lion's fur in front of him, waiting for him with an angry look.

President Chissano asked, "Colonel Kozye, would you like a cup of coffee? I have the best ground cocoa beans in Mozambique."

Colonel Kozye moved his gaze away from the African lion display and shifted it to Chissano. He knocked on the table and shook his head, saying, "No, I came to President Chissano today to make a long story short, about precious metals." Regarding minerals, I would like to ask when will you give us the mining rights?”

Colonel Koziye analyzed the situation. Although Mozambique is expected to stabilize within half a year, it may take longer to actually extinguish the flames of war in every place. Instead of doing this, it is better to directly mine while fighting. The efficiency is obviously much higher. Of course, the Mozambican government, which has been trying to delay, does not like this approach.

"Oh?" President Chissano stopped pouring coffee, he picked up the cup in front of him and blew on the hot coffee, and then Mansi said logically, "But you just assassinated the leader of the resistance movement, Della Kama, this is somewhat inconsistent with the agreement we signed. And it is said that your army now controls the diamond mine in Maradik, and even our army is not allowed to enter and intervene. What does this mean? The agreement states that you can only obtain the mining rights after the country is liberated. It’s so impatient, isn’t it?”

President Chissano’s words were very subtle, not only cleverly avoiding Kozye’s accountability, but also accusing the other party of not abiding by the agreement. Colonel Kozyer felt like he had nowhere to vent his anger.

But it was a pity that President Chissano was facing an unreasonable polar bear. Colonel Kozye leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and said calmly, "So, President Chissano is planning to break the rules? "

"We have always followed the rules. There is a famous saying in Mozambique that those who do not keep their promises will be cursed by the devil. But I don't think you Russians have this view."

"Very good, very good." Colonel Kozye slapped his thigh, stood up and walked to Chissano, "Maybe the President has not yet understood one thing. The huge contribution we have brought to Mozambique's mining industry Profit, unlike the opposition, we never pay salaries, and after so many years of war, Mozambique’s economy is already in bad shape, isn’t it?”

"Since the Mozambican government has not kept its promise, don't blame us for being unjust." Colonel Koziye stood up and walked towards the door. When he was approaching the door, he paused deliberately, turned around and said, "If we fully support the resistance What kind of dilemma will the Mozambican government face in terms of activists?”

"But Drakama is dead. Without their spiritual support, they are no longer a threat to us. It's only a matter of time to eliminate the remaining members of the resistance organization. Soon, these people will fall into infighting for the power of the supreme leader." President Chissano crossed his legs and said triumphantly, "In short, we don't need you anymore."

"What if Drakama is not dead?" Colonel Koziye added for no reason.

"Huh? Drakama is not dead?" President Chissano said disdainfully, "How is it possible? I saw his body with my own eyes. If you want to threaten me, don't you think you should find a better excuse?"

"But the fact is that he is indeed not dead." Colonel Koziye took out a stack of photos from his arms and threw them in front of Chissano. Although the enemy Drakama was injured in his calf, he still looked very energetic lying in the field hospital.

"I knew that you, an old fox, would do such a thing, so I specially spared Drakma's life. Oh, by the way, Drakma is much more interesting than you, and the conditions he offered are really exciting."

"You!" Chisano slammed his fist on the table, staring at Colonel Kozie with some indignation, but the other party ignored him and continued to talk to himself, "The Portuguese have enslaved you for so long, it seems that they have not learned the spirit of contract, but Drakma, the native, is more committed than you. As long as our army supports him, the conditions he offered are ten-year mining rights for all minerals, plus a permit for the stationing of overseas military bases."

At the end, Colonel Kozie added, "The opposition is much more generous than your government forces, which really makes my heart beat."

"You are so despicable!" President Chisano pointed at Colonel Kozie with gritted teeth, but did not dare to touch him at all, because the Soviet Hind helicopter was hovering nearby, and the government forces were helpless.

"Yes, I like the way you don't like me but can't do anything to me. Now we have to sit down and talk about the dracamas or the mining?" Colonel Kozie showed a gloomy expression and added, "Or does the Mozambique government intend to go to war with us today?"

President Chissano stared at Kozie for a full minute, he sighed, and his tone softened, "Okay, I am willing to talk to you about the mining of the mines in the previous contract, but you must give me the dracamas!"

"Mineral mining? In view of your attitude just now, my conditions have changed. My current condition is eight years of mining rights. If you are willing to accept it, I will talk to you about other things." Kozie directly raised the price and offered other more demanding conditions.

Chissano was helpless. The black president had never seen the tough attitude and black-bellied spirit of the Slavic people since ancient times, but he would never forget it after this incident.

"You Soviets are more like bandits than the opposition." Chissano clenched his fists and said indignantly.
