Latest website: Captain Grandi heard the words and shouted at Mirabo Plenkovic excitedly, "What! Say it again, what did you find?"

Mirabo Plenkovic had to repeat it again: "Mr. Grandi, we found an open-pit mine around the tribe that was conquered by the Ntuya!"

"What is the type of mine?" Captain Grandi asked Mirabo Plenkovic earnestly.

Although Captain Grandi knew the odds of an open pit mine being gold were remote, he hoped to hear the word "mined'or" (French gold mine) from Mirabeau Plenkovic.

Because once it is discovered that the open-pit mine is a gold mine, it means that he can extract 10% of the commission from the gold mine.

The bigger the gold mine, the more profit he can draw from it.

It's a pity that Captain Grandi's gold mine dream did not come true in Mirabo Plenkovic's mouth.

Mirabo Plenkovic spread his hands and responded to Captain Grandi: "Although I don't know much about the types of ore, I can be sure that the ore produced by that open-pit mine is definitely not gold!"

Captain Grandi immediately showed a hint of disappointment. In his opinion, as long as it is not a gold mine, the value of the mine will be greatly reduced.

"Then ask the Governor's Mansion to send someone over to check the type of mine!" Captain Grandi responded with a sullen response, and then sent his team back to the Governor's Mansion to inform Jerome Paterson of the open-pit mine.

The members of the scientific expedition team sailed out of the Ornway River along the river all the way, and then went north to Libreville, the Governor's Palace of Gabon. The whole process took nearly 3 hours.

When the members of the scientific expedition team arrived at the gate of the Governor's Palace, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

It is still Rastigne, the "chief" secretary-general of the Governor's Palace, who is in charge of receiving the expedition team members.

"Did something happen to the Ntuya tribe again?" Rastigne asked while handing the brewed black tea to the expedition team members.

The dry-headed expedition team drank the black tea without any hesitation, and then replied to Lastigne: "Your Excellency Secretary-General, we have discovered an open-pit mine near the rival tribe of Ntua!"

"What! Open-pit mine!" Rastigne's breathing could not help but quicken.

Obviously, Rastigne subconsciously believed that the open-pit mines mentioned by the expedition team members were gold mines.

If it is a gold mine, then the reliance of the Governor's Office of Gabon on the imperial government will be slightly reduced, and at the same time, relying on the gold mine can also attract more gold prospectors to "employ" in Gabon.

Since the discovery of gold in California and Melbourne, gold prospectors from all over Europe are more keen to travel around the world to explore unknown gold mines than before.

As long as the news of gold mines in Gabon comes out, Rastigne is not afraid that daring gold prospectors will not come.

Unfortunately, Rastigne did not know that his gold mine dream would be shattered in the next sentence of the expedition team members.

"That's right!" The expedition team members nodded, and then added: "However, this mine is not a gold mine! It's a kind of ore that we don't know!

So the purpose of Mr. Grandi's sending me here is to hope that the Governor's Palace can go to find out the minerals!

"

There was a hint of loss in Rastigne's eyes when he heard that it was not a gold mine.

As long as you think about it for a while, you will understand that there are so many gold mines in this world waiting for them to explore.

"I understand! You wait here for a while, and I'll report to the Governor!" Although Rastigne was a little disappointed, his face still remained calm.

"Excuse me!" The expedition team replied to Rastigne.

Rastigne left the reception room and went to the bedroom of Governor Jerome Paterson.

At this time, Governor Jerome Paterson was lying in the bedroom for a lunch break, and Rastigne, who was standing at the door of the bedroom, knocked on the door lightly.

Soon, Jerome Paterson's slightly sleepy voice came from the bedroom, "Who?"

"Your Excellency the Governor, I am Rastigne!" Rastigne responded softly.

"Rastigne! Please come in!" Jerome Patterson's slightly hoarse voice reached Rastigne's ear, and Rastigne pushed the door open.

Rastigne, who entered the bedroom, saw Jerome Patterson who was sitting beside the bed and patted his cheeks, and quickly apologized to Jerome Patterson: "Your Excellency Governor, I'm sorry to disturb your rest. !"

"It's nothing!" Jerome Patterson said to Rastigne with an understanding smile: "Tell me! What happened?"

Lastigne told Jérôme Patterson about the discovery of the open-pit mine by the expedition team. At the same time, in order to prevent the Governor from misunderstanding, he added: "According to the information of the expedition team, the open-pit mine was not Gold Mine!"

Jerome Paterson's expression also showed a hint of disappointment. He shook his hand and said to Rastigne: "Understandable! There are so many gold mines in this world, even if they have already been mined. !

It is already a happy thing for the scientific research team to discover the mine on the second day of going deep into the inland! "

"Your Excellency, do we need to send someone who knows minerals to investigate together! Maybe it's the minerals we need!" Rastigne asked Jerome Paterson.

"Do we have anyone here who is proficient in minerals?" Jerome Patterson asked with a frown.

Rastigne was stunned for a few seconds, constantly recalling the administrative officials in the governor's mansion, and then said to Rastigne with a wry smile: "Your Excellency, there is no one who is proficient in minerals in the governor's mansion!"

"Then what should we do now? We can't send someone back to France to invite you!" Jerome Paterson asked Rastigne.

After thinking about it for a while, La Stigne replied to Jerome Paterson: "Your Excellency Governor, my suggestion is to recruit the right person nearby!

If we can't recruit the right people, then we will consider inviting the right people from France. "

"That's fine!" Jerome Patterson nodded and agreed with Rastigne's suggestion. He pointed to Rastigne and ordered, "You will draft the document yourself and issue the invitation!"

Later, Rastigne asked Governor Jerome Paterson whether the French Governor's Office should set up a subordinate agency of the Mineral Bureau for the exploration of minerals in the colony.

"Just do as you say!" Jerome Patterson replied decisively to Rastigne.

"Will the expedition team let them stay for a few more days! Or should we send someone to take over the mine!" Rastigne asked Jerome Paterson again.

Jerome Patterson pondered for a moment and then responded to Rastigne, "Let's let our people take over the mine! After all, Mr. Grandi's mission is to explore in depth! Even if he is left there, start It doesn't work!"

"Yes!" Rusty responded respectfully.

After all the problems were resolved, Rastigne bowed and left Jerome Paterson's bedroom, and Jerome Paterson lay on the bed again to take a nap.

Rastigne, who left Jerome Paterson's bedroom, came to the reception room where the expedition team members were.

The expedition team members immediately got up and asked Rastigne, "What did your Excellency the Governor say?"

"Your Excellency the Governor means that your scientific expedition team can continue to move forward! Just leave the open-pit mine to us!" Rastigne said to the expedition team members, and then added: "If the open-pit mine is If the mine is really valuable, we will pay you your fair share!"

The expedition team members nodded and said to Rastigne, "Yes! When will you come and take over!"

"You can now! Come with me!" Rastigne responded, and then arrived at the barracks in a carriage with the expedition team members.

Rastigne, who entered the barracks, gave orders to Andrei Milanovic, the only remaining major in the barracks, in the name of the Governor's Office of Gabon, "Major Milanovic, you will immediately send two companies (one With 3 officers and 115 sergeants and soldiers) on board!"

"Secretary General Rastigne, is there something wrong with Major Mirabo Plenkovic?" Andrei Milanovich hurriedly asked Rastigne.

"No! No!" Rastigne shook his head and explained to Andre Milanovic: "The scientific research team discovered an open-pit mine, so I sent you to guard the open-pit mine! This way If so, the scientific expedition team will be able to go further!"

"Understood!" Andrei Milanovich solemnly responded to Rastigne.

"You move a little faster, and I'll prepare a boat for you now!" Rastigne warned again, then turned to leave the barracks and headed to the port of Libreville.

Arriving at the port, Rastigne found the troop transport ship at the port dock at a very fast speed, and then issued an order to the troop transport ship to leave the port at any time.

The captain and crew of the troop transport ship who received the order quickly took their places, and the boarding steps were slowly placed on the deck of the pier.

After a while, two companies, led by Andrei Milanovich, with a total of 236 men, boarded the troop carrier in turn.

At this moment, the time has come to 2:25 in the afternoon. With the expedition team members taking the steam clipper as a guide, the troop transport followed the steam clipper and set off. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

After a total of nearly three and a half hours of sailing, the two ships arrived near the Ntuya tribe.

Small boats carrying foreign corps slowly descended from the troop carrier to the river, and several foreign corps rowed to the shore.

Then the boat continued to row back and forth, and after several round trips, more than 236 soldiers, sergeants and officers all arrived.

All the soldiers lined up in two formations and arrived near the Ntuya tribe under the leadership of the expedition team.

Since the team led by Andre Milanovic did not fly the French flag, the Ntua soldiers in charge of the sentry saw the two companies and subconsciously regarded them as enemies.

So, the soldiers on guard quickly reported the news to their superiors, and the superiors who got the news ran to the old chief's room to quietly tell the old chief the news of the "enemy" attack.

The old chief, who was sitting cross-legged on the red carpet with Grandi and Mirabo Plenkovic, couldn't help showing a hint of panic on his face after hearing this.
