Rebirth 1999: Opening the Age of Black Technology Chapter 960

In the hinterland of Hoxton, there are vast grasslands and forests.

There is also the Sotho family, which once made the British terrified.

Sharto, the patriarch of the Sotho tribe, also has his own troubles. In recent years, the life of his tribe has not been easy.

As the tribal population continued to increase, so did the need for food.

The traditional nomadic life has been unable to meet the explosive population, which forced the tribes to reclaim more land to meet food demand.

However, in the past two years, the global warming and the frequent occurrence of El Niño have made the Hoxton area in an unstable climate zone, and natural disasters occur frequently. The climate in this region is highly variable, with both droughts and floods, and temperature fluctuations throughout the year with strong seasonality.

Once encountering extreme weather, food will encounter problems.

When the summer flood season comes, there are frequent torrential rains, which damage houses and facilities, farmlands and grasslands.

In the dry season, the land will experience drought again, locust plagues will come, and there will be no harvest.

In these years, the weather has been bad, so the harvest has been poor, and the Soto people are struggling with hunger.

Whenever Sharto, the patriarch, saw that the members of the clan could only rely on extremely limited food to maintain their lives, their bodies were stunted or died, he would feel very uncomfortable.

Only war, and war with surrounding tribes can solve the problem.

As the largest tribe in this land, the Soto tribe, on the one hand, protects their own water sources and land, and on the other hand, competes for the resources of other tribes, so that the tribe barely survives.

The weather in Sharlto this year is not very good. He estimates that there will be another locust plague in the dry season. A large-scale locust plague will destroy a large area of farmland and grassland.

These locusts eat a variety of plants, including crops, fruit trees, shrubs, and other vegetation…

When he was worried about this year's weather and harvest, warriors in the tribe reported to him that foreigners had come to the tribe.

When Sharlto heard that it was a foreigner, he felt a little puzzled.

The Soto people were not completely isolated from the outside world. When the British were here, they often made deals with the British to obtain some tools or modern commodities.

Or directly slaughter and rob the British goods.

In recent years, with the rise of the Xia Kingdom, many Xia Kingdom businessmen have also come to this land of Africa to look for opportunities.

In the past few years, the life of the Suotuo people has not been good, and they often choose Xia people to attack.

Because the economic strength of the Chinese is relatively prominent in this region, and many of them have rich wealth through hard work.

The Soto tribe also attacked people from other countries, but they felt that they could gain more wealth by robbing the Chinese.

After the chief learned that the white man from the United States brought by the original contact person, he asked the soldiers to let him in immediately.

Cia has been operating on the land of South Africa for many years, and has established contacts with many chiefs.

With vigorous steps, Chief Sharto led his soldiers to an open space, where a group of Americans brought by the liaison man Stanek had been waiting for a long time.

The chief smiled at these strangers. The United States has also provided assistance to this tribe. He hopes to see what better help the Americans can bring.

In the past, the Americans brought many gifts, of course, the last thing they wanted was food—flour, rice, tapioca flour, and some beef.

Sharlto knew that the Americans were not gods. They brought things here, and they must be doing business.

After an interpreter, he talked to these Americans and wanted to ask them why they came.

Stanek suddenly looked up at Sharlto and asked, "Have you heard any news from foreigners recently?"

"What does this have to do with us?"

Sharlto frowned, and replied: "Recently, I heard that a Xiaguo company is coming here to acquire a mine."

Stanek smiled slightly, "Oh, it doesn't matter, it's just that I got some news recently..."

Sharlto glanced at him indifferently: "What news?"

Seeing this, Stanek couldn't help frowning. He felt that his discovery should arouse Sharlto's interest, "Do you know, this news may affect your tribe."

Sharlto froze for a moment, "What impact will it have?"

Stanek's face sank slightly, and he was particularly dissatisfied with Sharlto's indifference before, "Do you think that Changtian Technology's acquisition of the mine has nothing to do with you?"

Changtian Technology? The chief heard and noticed the words.

Previously, the chief executive of this area, Mirifill, once explained that Changtian Technology will create hundreds of local jobs and provide employment opportunities for local residents. In addition, Longsky Technology will also invest a lot of money to improve local infrastructure, road construction and public services.

Millifel also said that the arrival of Changtian Technology will promote the development of the local economy, increase the tax revenue of the local government, and then use it to improve the quality of life of local residents.

Sharlto was not interested in this matter at first. After all, people in the tribe would not go to work. It was just that Changtian Technology wanted to build infrastructure here, and would also compensate the nearby tribes with a certain amount of money.

Money can be used to buy food.

Sharlto felt very puzzled, such a good thing to send money, what's the problem?

Cia has been lurking here for many years, and Stanek has already learned about the personalities of the chiefs of various tribes.

He deliberately said: "If Changtian Technology's laboratory is built here, it will bring bad luck and plague."

"Did you know? The mine they want to invest in is the iron ore factory that was abandoned by the British before."

The chief was slightly taken aback when he heard this, "Because of the location of this iron ore field and the bloodshed for many years, the tribe regards it as an ominous place."

"How could it be there?"

Stanek struck while the iron was hot and said: "This place is an ominous place, a place where ghosts and evil forces operate. In the past many years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have repeatedly occurred in this area, and many people have died here. They did not come here. A good omen!"

"Did a lot of people die in your tribe in recent years?"

The chief thought of those people in the tribe who died of starvation, and nodded, "There are quite a few tribesmen who didn't make it through..."

"And the Xia people have only come here in the past few years. Have you noticed that since they came? The tribe is always dead. In fact, this is the plague and bad luck they brought!" Stanek said.

The chief was shocked, the Chinese, the plague, the disaster...

The wizards in the tribe did take advantage of it, saying that the Xia people had brought an ominous sign to the tribe.

These are connected in his mind, how can this be? Is this the reason? After those outsiders came here...

Stanek said sadly: "Not only you, even our people have had some contact with these Chinese in recent years, so they were infected with the plague brought by the Xia Kingdom...I couldn't stand it and died."

Sharlto thought that his tribe had robbed the Chinese before. Indeed, he had some contacts with the Xia people, and many of the tribesmen he had contact with were sick or died, so he immediately believed Stanek's words.

Moreover, these Xia people came here, but they did not bring actual benefits to themselves, and they would bring disaster to the tribe.

On the contrary, the Americans once supported him, and he trusted him.

He wanted to ask Stanek what to do?

But Stanek told him good news: "Knowing that the drought and locust disaster brought by the Xia Kingdom in recent years, we have applied for a batch of food, which can help the Soto people to tide over the difficulties."

"But" Stanek changed his tone, "We can only help you sometimes, but we can't help you all the time. The bad luck brought by the Xia people, so many people died, and only you can solve the problem... just like The same as it was for the British."

Sharlto didn't really believe that the disaster was caused by the Xia people, but he had to think carefully about this association and the wizards in the group.

And Stanek said: "Furthermore, there are women and money in the company of the Xia people who came to invest this time. As long as they rob once, they will no longer have to worry about the food problem of the tribe."

Stanek's words added weight to the balance in Sharlto's heart.

"The Chinese who have been robbed before are all weak and rich. It is too easy to plunder them. If it is true, if it is done at once this time, it can only prevent the tribe from starving again..."

Sharlto immediately said that he would consider it.

However, as the chief, he is not that stupid. He still intends to investigate the situation before making a decision.

Stanek exchanged glances with the wizard of the Clan before leaving.

Cia has spent a lot of money to buy these wizards.

On the one hand, Sharlto checked the situation of the Changtian Science and Technology Camp to see how strong the defenses were, and whether there were really so many women and gold and silver wealth.

On the other hand, Sharlto also wanted to find out if there was really a plague coming from the people of Xia, otherwise, how could Stanek say that some of their people died, and would it be the people who died before the tribe? Also because of the plague.

Because he was worried that the Xia people in the camp would really have a plague, Salto assigned the most agile fighters.

Under the instructions of Sharlto, the agile warrior sneaked into the Changtian Technology mining area and began to monitor the situation.

They walked cautiously, always vigilant, for fear of being discovered.

They saw all the facilities in the camp, which in their eyes meant wealth.

They went to a corner to sneak a peek and found an employee who had been coughing.

This situation surprised the soldiers, because in this world, any abnormal symptoms could mean a deadly disease.

Especially in the tribe, these diseases cannot be cured even if they are minor illnesses, and they often mean death, which makes them feel very scared.

They immediately returned to the tribe in a panic.

Sharlto asked about the situation in their camp, and the soldiers answered.

It turns out that the camp really has so much wealth, all kinds of construction vehicles, bright glass, beautiful and tidy houses, cleanly dressed Xia Guo people, beautiful Xia Guo women, and even a variety of goods in the supermarket .

These tribal fighters who have even been to the city believe that the wealth of the Changtian Technology headquarters is richer than the cities they have been to.

The chief was a little moved. However, these soldiers told him the bad news. They found that there was a coughing person in Changtian. That person kept coughing. They suspected that it was the source of the plague.

The chief was startled and coughed all the time. In their tribe, this meant death. For their tribe, there was no cure for it. In other words, the plague did come from the camp of Xia Guo.

Sharlto immediately sought the wizard's opinion, instead of telling the Xia people in the mine clearly that it would bring bad luck after some messy show off.

In the Changtian Technology camp, Wang Xiang also received an urgent report from the security guard.

"Mr. Wang, we just discovered through surveillance that some people have entered the camp of Changtian Technology." The security guard said, "They look like people from the Soto tribe."

After Wang Xiang heard it, he immediately felt very nervous. Before coming here, he had investigated the situation of the main tribes in this area. The Soto tribe had attacked many Xia people, so he had always been vigilant against this tribe.

He hurriedly ordered all employees to pay attention to safety, and asked Wang Dong to organize a security team to strengthen vigilance.

Wang Dong is a retired special soldier who once had rich security experience in the army.

He is very good at organizing people and responding quickly to various emergencies.

He immediately went into action, contacting other veterans of the company, as well as the company's internal security team.

Wang Dong instructed everyone to strengthen patrols and monitoring ~www.mtlnovel.com~ to increase security checks at the entrance, and provide safety training for employees sent from China.

In some key places, concrete walls have also been built to serve as shelters if necessary.

Because many domestic employees have never experienced war-torn areas like South Africa and have no relevant experience in dealing with them.

Some girls are a little flustered.

After that, Wang Xiang urgently reported the situation to Chen Xiao.

"Mr. Chen, I need to report a situation to you." Wang Xiang said, "The tribes near the mining area seem to be from the Soto tribe, which may bring some security problems."

Chen Xiao had analyzed the situation in South Africa before, so he established Changyue Heavy Industry for the purpose of self-protection.

Chen Xiao understands that in a chaotic area like South Africa, no amount of caution is worth it.

"I have ordered increased vigilance," Wang Xiang explained, "but we need more measures to protect employees and assets."

After hearing Wang Xiang's report on the possible threat of the Soto tribe to the company, Chen Xiao also realized that more active measures must be taken to protect the interests of the company and the safety of employees.

He decided to introduce weapons and equipment in the shortest possible time, instead of developing and producing them himself, in order to deal with any possible threats.

"You may have to go to Saudi Arabia immediately." Chen Xiao told him, "We must buy some weapons and equipment to strengthen the company's security forces."

"I have already contacted relevant companies in Saudi Arabia."

In Saudi Arabia, Changtian Technology has built an energy factory before, and has exported automobiles and electronic consumer products to Saudi Arabia, and has won the friendship and support of the royal family of Saudi Arabia.

This time, the other party also promised to provide convenience.

The project in South Africa is imminent, and Wang Xiang immediately went to Saudi Arabia.
