Chapter 18, Short of Hands

Guinea

In the early stages, the discovered gold mines had begun operations, and the chaotic situation directly dispelled Baron Feckney's thought of continuing to search for gold mines.

The competition was simply too fierce, with far too many examples of infighting and treachery for profit.

The situation in the Guinea region was still relatively good, as it was completely controlled by the Austrian Colonial Government, which had established basic order.

As long as a gold mine's property rights were registered with the Colonial Government, even if the mine owner had an accident, the government would reclaim the rights and they absolutely would not fall into others' hands.

The act of seizing gold mines was severely suppressed by the Colonial Government; those caught were sent to the gallows, which prevented large-scale brawls.
