239. The anger of the people
The arrival of another large fleet besides the Blade Sea caused turmoil in the hearts of the locals. Is this going to change the world? The previous fleet overturned the local overlord Santos Chamber of Commerce, but who knew that the butt was not firm enough, and another family came?
Are you going to fight again? I hope it won’t affect the port!
But many days passed, and the port of Mogadisiu was as quiet as a virgin’s boudoir! Could it be that the two fleets belonged to the same group? For a moment, there were many different opinions.
About half a month later, one morning, the major ports in East Africa and surrounding villages and towns were in full swing! The reason was that they had received letters of complaints from the Santos Chamber of Commerce engaged in the unscrupulous trade!
The reason why they said "received" is that when these townsmen and villagers got up in the morning, they picked up countless papers of large and small from the door, on the streets, and on the fields! Each piece of paper contained a crime from the Santos Chamber of Commerce!
Some people wrote that four years ago, the Santos Chamber of Commerce bought a large amount of grain at a low price. Two years after hoarding, East Africa had a severe drought the year before, and many places had no grain harvest. The Santos Chamber of Commerce, which hoarded, sold grain at a sky-high price! Countless people lost their freedom because of this!
Some people write that in recent years, the Santos Chamber of Commerce has been quietly engaged in the slave trade. They arrested teenagers from the inland and sold them to the West and the New World! It is said that at the slave labor points in the New World, some families have reunited in a foreign land! It can be seen how strong the slave arrest is!
Who is the people living in different tribes or towns in Africa who have no relatives and friends to be arrested? After disappearing for no reason, 95% of them are separation from life and death! It turns out that it was the mastermind under the Santos Chamber of Commerce?
Some of them said that the Santos Chamber of Commerce transported medicines from the Indian Ocean or the Western Ocean, mostly inferior products as good or old drugs, which had long lost their effect. However, when they sold them to patients who were in urgent need of medicine, they raised the price by five times!
The contents are all different, and the people in East Africa are furious! Why? Because the papers accusing the Santos Chamber of Commerce are all about the truth!
Countless people remembered their children who had disappeared for no reason, kneaded the letters into a ball, and howled to the sky! Some of them were impatient to read all the accusation letters and then looked at their hands and feet, and suddenly they angrily pulled the iron chains that tied their hands and feet, making a "rake" sound!
Some people who believed in the "life-saving medicine" of the Santos Chamber of Commerce spent all their property but their physical condition was getting worse and worse, stood up angrily and gathered together. They wanted to take back their own things!
...
Anger spread throughout the land of East Africa! All that was missing at this time was a *!
Nuno Santos naturally discovered those flyers, so he tried his best to collect the flyers, not wanting to spread. But how could things be as he wished? He confiscated a batch, and there was an extra batch of them no matter where, and the amount was larger and the material was more sufficient!
Until one day, the lackey at the headquarters of the Santos Chamber of Commerce in Sofara City went to collect leaflets from a family, and there was only a middle-aged man and an old mother left in the family - the man's wife and children disappeared inexplicably three years ago.
Yesterday, when he got the letter of complaint about the Santos Chamber of Commerce engaged in slave trade, he was so excited that he trembled all over! At that time, he found several families who had lost their loved ones for no reason, and prepared to find Nuno Santos together, and grabbed him to ask what was going on!
However, the person who collected the flyers came uninvited! The two sides were disagreeing with each other and a fierce conflict broke out! Santos's lackey saw these honest guys who were usually honest and glaring at him, his heart was furious, and he swung his whip and hit the old lady who kept persuading him!
The old lady was in poor health, and she fell to the ground after hitting her head twice! Seeing this, the middle-aged man hurriedly went to help her mother. She was whipped twice on her back and reached out to look under her nose, but she lost her breath!
The man who lost everything suddenly became angry! He turned around and grabbed Santos's lackey's wrist, pulled out a hidden dagger from his belt, raised his sword and fell! He killed his enemy with his hand!
After the bloody incident, the situation in East Africa escalated rapidly! Armed opposition to the Santos Chamber of Commerce began to break out in various places!
In some places such as Sofara, the Santos Chamber of Commerce was very close to the Governor and had even actually controlled the Governor! So after the attack, the Governor's guards in some places began to attack the people and stood up for the Santos Chamber of Commerce, which aroused the anger of the masses even more!
With the help of those who are interested, an action called "Restoring Justice" has been ignited in various parts of East Africa! The Santos Chamber of Commerce became a rat crossing the street for a moment, and everyone shouted and beaten!
Some governors who helped the Santos Chamber of Commerce control the situation at the beginning saw that the situation was not good, immediately remained neutral, and even seized a lot of Santos Chamber of Commerce's property!
In short, East Africa can only be described in one word at this time: chaos!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Nuno Santos thought he would go out to avoid the limelight first, so he gathered his fleet and prepared to flee to the new port in northern Madagascar - Anqilanana, thinking about avoiding this limelight first!
Members of the Santos Chamber of Commerce from various ports in East Africa began to evacuate one after another and gathered in the direction of Madagascar!
For a moment, a magical vacuum appeared in the entire East African business district! After the people released their anger and regained their freedom, they began to consider the long-term issue of eating. The governors were also considering their livelihoods - Santos left, who will take over him? Without trade, where does the tax come from?
Just as everyone's doubts began to sprout, two chambers of commerce - the Blade Sea Chamber of Commerce from the far east, and the Woodin Chamber of Commerce from the Indian Ocean, entered everyone's vision!
In addition to providing medicines and food at extremely low prices, the two chambers of commerce also proposed the business philosophy with the slogan "Everyone has freedom, everyone has work to do, and everyone has food to eat."
Some people communicated with the two chambers of commerce with a try attitude and found that as they said, there is no need to sign a contract with the Santos Chamber of Commerce! And there are many job opportunities, and new water is enough to support their families! Why not go?
Moreover, these two chambers of commerce have a broader trade space than the Santos Chamber of Commerce, and are no longer limited to East Africa. The tentacles of trade are said to be spread throughout the Indian Ocean and the South Ocean. I heard that there is also trade in the East, which means more opportunities!
After negotiations with the plenipotent representative of the two chambers of commerce, Mr. Woodin, Mr. Leonard, he felt that the conditions given by Leon Hai and Woodin were more favorable than those of Santos, and most importantly, the industry was much cleaner than Santos!
Is a fool doing this multiple-choice question, right?!
So soon, the trade vacuum left by the Santos Chamber of Commerce after the evacuation was replaced by the Blade Sea and the Woodin Chamber of Commerce! Some people who were injured in the struggle, both chambers of commerce provided "humanitarian assistance."
Some families whose relatives died in the struggle also received considerable pensions from the two chambers of commerce.
For a moment, the whole of East Africa was quarrel and restored peace and tranquility. Although some people questioned that the incident happened very suddenly and without any warning! But after the outbreak, it was out of control!
It seems...it seems like someone is pushing this matter strongly behind the scenes!
However, at this time, the East African people were silently licking the wounds that were being opened and quietly wiping the tears in the corners of their eyes and hearts. No one would be so stupid that they would go to dig in the bottom of the matter! That was an enemy of the vast number of people!
On this issue, the Santos Chamber of Commerce is a lesson in the past. Who dares to violate this taboo again? So a bizarre silence appeared in the entire East Africa public opinion circle!
The strongholds of Bandhai and Woodin have been moved from Mogadishu, which is not convenient to dock, to Sofara. In the new headquarters, I sat opposite Woodin.
Wuding picked up a glass of wine and toasted me and said, "Qi Lan! I toast you! I admire you for your wisdom!"
I gently flirted with him and smiled and said, "No matter how good the solution is, it requires strong execution! If it is not for your strong support from brother, I will be talking about it no matter how good I think!"
Wuding picked up the wine glass and drank it all with a heroic drink! Then he put the wine on the roulette for me and himself, sighing and said, "I have been ambitious here for a long time, so it is natural to do some preparations! But Qi Lan, you are different!"
As he said that, he pointed to his head excitedly, and pointed hard a few times and said, "The one you are talking about... is that united front! What Ruan I Ma Sheng! Why is it so powerful? Soldiers don't have blood! Soldiers don't have blood!"
I saw this guy excited and didn't know how to explain it. I couldn't make a selection of Marxism-Leninism for him to show, nor did I have time to explain in detail the issue of the united front and mass war. I just smiled faintly and said, "Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it!"
Wu Ding chewed this sentence many times, and it seemed that there were many problems that could not be understood, but this person was open-minded by nature and could not think about it anymore!
So he laughed and asked me, "What's next? What's your plan next?" As he said that, he pointed to the east and continued, "Nuno Santos' main force has no losses, they are all hiding in Madagascar! Should we get rid of the roots?"
I picked up the wine glass and fell into deep thoughts. Logically speaking, how can I allow others to snore on the side of the bed? Leaving the remnants of the Santos Chamber of Commerce is ultimately a disaster. But for some reason, I always seem to feel a little uneasy in my heart!
So I frowned and did not answer Woodin's question immediately. Seeing that I was not talking, Woodin rolled his eyes and lowered his voice: "Are you worried about the Spaniard behind Santos?"
This sentence is asking my heart, and it is this what I worry about! If it weren't for their work behind the scenes, just a Santos Chamber of Commerce would have pushed it over!
Seeing my serious expression, Woodin smiled and said, "Don't worry! As far as I know, Nuno Santos still regards himself as a Portuguese, and those Spaniards dare not help him too blatantly! After all, this time it involves the relationship between the two countries!"
I nodded, shook my head slightly and smiled, "I'm afraid that the other party will suddenly come with a secret move! This chance is probably not small!"
Woodin chuckled: "As long as the power of the Nuno Santos tribe is cut off, they want to establish a foothold in East Africa again, it is probably not that simple to achieve!"
Chapter completed!
