In the morning, Zhao Yue said goodbye to his wife, children and apprentices to the airport, flew directly to France, and then transferred to the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo is the abbreviation of the Republic of Congo, which was renamed "Zaire" before the 20th century. It used to be a colony of Belgium. In 1962, the Belgian political axe was forced to agree to its reading power. After the country's reading power, it has been turbulent and frequent armed conflicts.

The population is about 62.52 million, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo is divided into 254 tribes. The Bantu-speaking languages account for about 84% of the total population, mainly the Congoles, Ngara, Luba, Mungo-Nkundu, Ronda, etc. The rest are the Azand and Nilotic Alur and Pygmi. People, etc.; the official language is French, and the main languages are Lingara, Chilurgo, Chiluba and Swahili.

At the same time, its sanitary conditions are extremely poor, with an average of 14,000 doctors, a infant mortality rate of 17%, an AIDS infection rate of people aged 15-49 reaching 14%, 45% of the population is malnourished, and the average life expectancy is only 41.8 years.

Zhao Yue went through the entry procedures after getting off the plane in Kinshasa. The airport staff in the Democratic Republic of Congo were very dark and liked to find some reasons to kill some foreign passengers, especially Chinese. Zhao Yue did not know the skills and was slaughtered for 300 dollars.

After coming out of the airport, Zhao Yue found a hotel to check in. The streets are in chaos, full of mercenaries with guns on their backs. Here, mercenaries are rampant in the world, and the chaotic situation has made it a paradise for mercenaries.

The sources of mercenaries here are very complex, from all races and countries. Generally, it is best to recruit mercenaries, and it would be better to be a special forces soldier. Mercenaries are not necessarily all arms in the army, and pilots and marines are also popular among mercenaries. The salary of mercenaries can be divided into different grades according to the degree of danger of the task, different types of arms, and different sources. The recruitment targets include civilians, former soldiers, outlaws, etc. In short, if you want to join, you can pass the assessment. The more regular mercenary forces in the world, such as the French Foreign Legion, no matter where you come from or what you have done, as long as you sign up and pass the assessment, you can join. After joining, you can follow its training methods. After training, you will be divided into the foreign corps. It is said that they prefer Chinese people, because Chinese people listen to commands and can endure hardships.

Speaking of the originator of mercenaries, we can't help but mention a Frenchman named Bob Denard. This man was born in the small French city of Bordeaux. Shortly after the end of World War II, Denar joined the French Marine Corps. After 1952, Denar worked as a policeman in the French colonies.

In 1960, the Democratic Republic of the Congo was under the rule of Belgium, and soon a civil war broke out. Belgian plantation owner Jacques Schlam formed the Tenth Commando, the earliest mercenary armament in modern African history. In addition to him, the former colonel La Molin of the Belgian Political Axe Army, the former French professional soldier Roger Forquez, the former British [***] officers Mike Hall and John Peters, and Denner are called the "former six heroes" of the African mercenary group by historians, who are employed by the opposition Moes Chongbo.

Due to the armed intervention of the United Nations, Chongbo was forced to go into exile, and Denard and others retreated to Portuguese Angola. Then, Mobutu, who held the military power of the National Army, took advantage of Chongbo's visit abroad in November 1965 to launch a coup d'état to depose President Kasavub and appointed himself as a student. Mobotto secretly entook Denar, who was most powerful, and appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the Congolese National Army. After a bloody battle, Denar skillfully used the method of "money to lure, each one to break through" to quell the rebellion.

But only a year later, Denar fell out with Mobutu, and another "mercenary war" broke out. Due to Mobott's stronger strength, the battle lasted until April 1968, when Denar's mercenaries laid down their weapons and withdrew.

After leaving the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Denar was involved in the civil wars in Zimbabwe, Nepal, Benin, Gabon, Angola and other countries. According to statistics, between 1970 and 1980 alone, at least 150 African military coups and civil wars were related to European mercenaries, and Denar even stole the power of an African country in 1978, which shocked the whole world.

Denard's "Jingnan" action was quickly exposed. Denard's "stealing the country" behavior aroused public indignation in Africa, and he could not hang on the French political axe in Africa. The French political axe finally launched a military operation on December 15. In the face of a hopeless battle, Denar announced that he would give up resistance. After dawn, Denar left the "plea-land" with his family and his men on a C-130 transport plane.

After returning to France, Denar faced a series of judicial trials. He took out all kinds of evidence to defend himself, stressing that he had been in contact with French intelligence since he left the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In the end, Denar was released. Today, the "king of mercenaries" lives with his children and grandchildren in a villa on the outskirts of Paris with the large amount of money he earned in Africa in his early years.

Mercenary market, which is a market spontaneously organized by mercenaries without managers. Everyone here is holding a gun. Some three or two people are chatting together, some are drinking, some are simply sleeping on the ground, and some are gathering together to gamble. These people gathered here to wait for someone to pay them to go to war.

There are people of all skin colors here. Zhao Yue turned around casually, and the mercenaries around him looked at him with vigilant eyes. He glanced his eyes and found a yellow man leaning his back against a post with his eyes closed. He walked over and asked in Chinese, "Are you Chinese?"

The man opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Yue blankly and said, "Yes! Do you want to hire someone to do something?

Zhao Yue nodded and said, "Yes, it's inconvenient to talk here. Come with me!"

The man stood up and followed Zhao Yue to one side. Zhao Yue said, "My name is Zhao Yue. How about you?"

That person: "Wei Cheng"

Zhao Yue nodded and said, "Everyone is from the same hometown, and I won't talk to you anymore. I'm looking for a herb, which is only available here!" He took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to Wei Cheng. He continued, "I want you to help me find out where this herb is. If you want to go to the deep mountains and forests, I would like to ask you to be an escort. You can find helpers and guides. You can decide the number of people by yourself. We can discuss the price."

Wei Cheng looked at the photo and said, "How can I contact you after hearing the news?"

Zhao Yue took out his business card and 3,000 euros from his pocket and handed it to him, "I'm staying in Room 903 of this hotel. If there is any news, go there to find me. Let's discuss the price. This 3,000 euros is your activity fund!"

Wei Cheng took over and said, "Whether there is any news or not, I will reply to you within three days!"

Zhao Yue said, "Okay, I'll wait for you for three days!"
