Chapter 1569 - Create Chaos in Africa

The fall of the Morsi Tribe left an unerasable impression for the tribes on the coast of East Africa. Except for the countless scorched corpses, there was no trace of living creatures in the grassland that had been bombed by white phosphorous munitions.

The fire across the prairie caused by the munitions was not extinguished by rain until three days later.

If it were before, in the eyes of these tribesmen, the Asians who walked on the streets of Mombasa were like easy prey. However, one dared not look directly at the convoy of Future Develop now, and no one dared to ask for bribes from these ruthless characters.

After Feng Yuan returned to the Lake Victoria Development Zone, he did not have to wait for long before the Steel Teeth Tribe sent Wizard Lusambo as an emissary. The wizard only expressed regret for the deterioration of the relationship between Morsi and Future Development but did not comment on the eight white phosphorus munitions.

Future Development continued to farm, Steel Teeth Tribe collected taxes annually, and both sides were at peace.

In fact, Morsi Tribe attacked Future Development partly because the local enterprises in cement and building material business, as well as local tribes that raise slaves in captivity, were jealous of Future Development’s profits.

For example, the Water Lizard Tribe, in addition to the loss of profits due to the hoarding of cement that Future Development did not buy, also raised tens of thousands of slaves, and own a large amount of fertile land in the area to the northwest of Mombasa.

Because of the growth of the Lake Victoria Development Zone, the crops in their hands have gradually depreciated, so it was natural for them to get antsy. Since NAC did not mind a lower crop price and preferred food prices to depreciate, it meant the value of the manufactured products from NAC was higher in the trade. Future Development wished food to continue to get cheaper, so when they paid taxes, the same amount of military arms could be exchanged for more food.

Anyway, except for part of the grains they produce were used to suppress the price of food in Mombasa, most of the grains were shipped back to NAC or NAC’s colonies.

It was naturally impossible for the tribes that did not even possess a full set of farming tools to compete fairly with Future Development’s mechanized equipment. Therefore, the Water Lizard Tribe decided to think of an alternative plan and worked with Morsi Tribe to launch an attack on the Lake Victoria Development Area, and finally kidnapped hostages in exchange for ransom.

Now the chief of the Water Lizard Tribe only felt fortunate by the fact that they did not receive the ransom, otherwise, it would not only be Morsi Tribe being annihilated but also they themselves, the instigators.

After the Chief of the Water Lizard Tribe spent a week in anxiety, he finally felt relieved after he realized that Future Development was not going to seek trouble from them. As for those “unruly” Asians, he didn’t want to provoke them at all.

Those people were simply a bunch of devils.

This view had become deep-rooted in most tribes…

“If we want our granary to be stable, Mombasa must be unstable.” Jiang Chen sat in the office of the Future Building and looked at Xiaorou. She stood in front of him while she humbly listened. Jiang Chen smiled and continued, “The easiest way to make Mombasa unstable is to create chaos in Africa.”

“Turn Africa into chaos?” Xiaorou tilted her head. “Is Africa not chaotic enough now?”

“Not enough.” Jiang Chen shook his head. “Although there are still conflicts between the large and small tribes within the United African Tribes, the entire United African Tribes is stable. You can see that the two small tribes under Steel Teeth may have fought over a water source, but there is almost no conflict between Steel Teeth and several neighboring large tribes of the same size.”

“It seems to be the case. In the boundaries of Steel Teeth, you can’t see the people from Giant Axe Tribe from the north at all… I heard that the manager over there say this.” Sun Xiaorou nodded thoughtfully, “Is there anything for us to gain if they fight?”

“Of course,” Jiang Chen smiled and continued, “If the Steel Teeth Tribe and the Great Axe Tribe fought, then our position is very important. War Chief Duaman will not offend us in the first place, because the armed forces of the development zone are not weak, and secondly, both sides will try to please us, because they can only buy weapons of reliable quality from our hands.”

Africa possessed a large number of weapons and equipment that have flowed in from the north of the Mediterranean. After more than two decades, most of those weapons were already very old. Because of frequent use and lack of maintenance, the more advanced the equipment, the higher the failure rate.

Jiang Chen did not rule out the possibility that these tribes possessed weapons not inferior to the NS-90 robots, but the capability and effectiveness of these weapons would become a very interesting probability question. NAC could provide high-quality weapons at fair prices with stability. If the local situation turned into chaos, then arms dealers from Asia would become highly sought-after by these tribes.

After Jiang Chen finished his explanation, Xiaorou’s eyes lit up and she immediately followed up.

“But, how do we make the situation more chaotic?”

“Sell them weapons and let their ambitions swell, along with their strength. Violence is in their genes. We don’t need to provoke the relationship between them. We just need to pass them the tools to kill. It will naturally move in the direction we want.”

In the African savannah that followed the law of the jungle, farming diligently was an action disdained by people. In the eyes of almost all tribes, Morsi was their role model, and only the strong were worthy to be worshipped by others.

The truly powerful tribes did not produce anything. They relied on hunting, gathering, and slaves to feed their people. They robbed necessities and weapons from the weak and expanded through snowballing.

Because of this deformed culture of “worship the strong”, the Africans who occupied the last piece of pristine land in this apocalypse had made no achievements so far. In addition, there were always delicious fruits in the fertile forest, and without the need to fight for survival, they naturally did not work hard.

In fact, that was exactly the case.

In Mombasa, only the lowest tribesmen chose to work in factories. There were certainly factories there, except that all the factories only worked once every few days.

“It’s not enough to just bring in the few tribes from United African Tribes, we need to pull in the South African Union on Madagascar to the south. We’ll first dump a few hundred boxes of arms at them and then make the situation a little more chaotic. As for how to execute it, you can discuss with other employees in the company, and if you don’t understand, you can also discuss it with Sister Shiyu,” Jiang Chen said with a smile.

“Can’t I ask you? I think your suggestions are very useful.” Xiaorou smiled.

“There is no need to ask me about this kind of trivial matter,” Jiang Chen waved his hand, “I believe that with your ability, you can definitely solve this problem.”

Xiaorou rolled out her tongue playfully, then left the office.

After the office door was closed, Jiang Chen rubbed his somewhat sore eyebrows, picked up the document on the table, and leaned against the chair.

Since he solved the issue known as the UA, his life did not get more relaxed. Instead, it became busier.

In other words, there seemed to be more and more things that needed him to worry about.

Whether it was the trans-Pacific “World Dollar” currency system or the rescue work of the Svetovid, troubles continued to come at him one by one. Though he did ask for some of them himself.

“Has the ice cutting project started?”

After he scanned the title of the document, he muttered a few words to himself, but his eyes inadvertently lifted from the document. He gazed out of the floor-to-ceiling window distractedly and focused in the direction of downtown Coro City.

He could still remember that at the very beginning, Future Building was located in the outskirts far away from the downtown of Coro City, and Coro City was not visible from here. As the boundaries of the city continue to expand, the outline of the city was getting closer and closer to this building.

As his focus on Coro City became blurry, he suddenly had a thought in his mind.

I wonder what it would be like in a few years…
