MTL - America’s Big Hero-v2 Chapter 557 : Sean is here
(I returned to Sanya at 11:00 last night, and stayed up until 2:30 in the morning to finish a chapter. Today's second chapter is a chapter that I owed before, and it will be updated normally tomorrow)
Africa's largest oil producer is currently Libya.
However, if the time is pushed back, Nigeria will be the largest in Africa in the future, Angola will be the second, and Libya will be the third.
Of course, the advantage of Libya is that the oil layer is buried shallowly, and the difficulty of mining is low. Simply put, it is low cost.
The so-called propaganda that oil is only enough to be exploited for a hundred years, and there will be no energy to use after a hundred years, is essentially a fallacy.
Oil reserves have never been low, and even if it is used for hundreds of years, it will not be exhausted. What really troubles countries is the cost of extraction.
Calculated according to the international crude oil price in 1991, the average price was 19.33 US dollars per barrel. Many well-known oil wells could not be exploited at all, and the cost was higher than the selling price, and it was much higher.
Not only is it low now, it was 17.01 in 1993 and 15.86 in 1994. That was the cold winter for oil companies!
In 1996, it just broke through the US$20 per barrel mark, followed by the Asian financial crisis. In 1998, it was as low as US$12.76, and it returned to before liberation overnight.
It will not be slowed down until 2000.
Sean didn't remember these things clearly. After all, he was a counterfeit liquor seller back then, and he didn't care about this stuff at all, and it was just passing by in the news.
He just remembered that the financial crisis of 1998 swept across the world in the end, and all industries were greatly affected, while the north made an economic soft landing and began to deeply develop domestic demand, which strongly stimulated the economy.
The method of stimulating the economy and so on... I won't talk about it.
Anyway, oil is black blood, the economy is boosted, oil consumption soars, and oil prices soar sharply.
He still remembers that at that time, news broke out that the price of oil was soaring. Anyway, when it was 95 plus, he felt distressed.
Closer to home, there is still a 9-year window period in the oil industry from 2000. In theory, it is not a wise decision to invest in oil at this time.
But in actual operation, those super-big companies all started to expand wildly during the trough of the economic downturn, and finally reached the peak.
Like Rockefeller!
At the beginning, the old Rockefeller was hired by the company to investigate the oil industry in Pennsylvania. The survey results showed that it was thriving, and a lot of hot money flowed in. The old Rockefeller thought it was a bit crazy, and turned around to deal in agricultural products.
After the climax is the time of the sages, the oil industry plummeted, and the ground was full of feathers. At this time, the old Rockefeller resolutely sold the well-developed agricultural product company, plunged into the oil industry and started a big acquisition, and finally achieved the standard oil dominance. The pattern of the world.
There are many other examples. Sean certainly would not hesitate when he already knew that the final result would be good.
Not to mention nine years, even 9.9 years, he dared to vote!
It's not that there is no money!
Angola.
When Sean arrived here, he didn't bring Fenris Hodgson and the others with him.
A group of mining companies are also worthy of playing with oil?
It's just a mining company. Even the largest McMoran has a market value of only tens of billions, which only occupies a small part of Sean's industrial map.
This group of people left him behind. The development of South Africa has to wait for the political situation to change. The government does not need it. Instability is a big crisis for others, but it is only an opportunity for Sean, not a danger!
Located in the southwestern part of Africa, it is bordered by Congo in the north, Zambia in the east, South Korea in the south, and the Atlantic Ocean in the west. It is one of the earliest colonies in Africa.
In 1951, Portugal changed Angola to an overseas province, wanted to carry out a localization strategy, and sent a governor to rule.
In 1958, the Angolan People's Liberation Movement, the "Angolan People's Movement" organization emerged, and began armed struggle on February 4, 1961.
In 1962, Jonas Savimbi appeared in the south of New Lisbon, the Angolan People's Liberation Front, and the Angolan Liberation Front emerged.
explain
It is the Liberation Organization that is really flattering them. They are just two warlords supported by different donors.
Why do you say that you have the support of the sponsor?
Nonsense, Angola, the least developed country in the world, where you can't even make a kitchen knife, where can you have the money to buy arms and fight!
This is different from the north. Even in the most backward era, the industrial base is much more complete and stronger than most countries in the world!
During the colonial period, why didn’t they occupy the north like they treated Ah San and Southeast Asian countries?
The battle of Langfang began on June 10, 1900, and continued to increase troops after the capture of Yanjing on August 14. It sent troops from Beijing and Tianjin to attack and plunder in four directions, and controlled Zhengding in the south, Zhangjiakou in the north, and Shanhaiguan in the east. , West to Niangzhai Pass around Beijing and Tianjin.
It's been beaten to this level, why not occupy it?
Are the Western colonists kind-hearted?
no!
can't beat
I won’t go into details about the antecedents of the war. Interested friends can check it out by themselves. The general idea is that the Qing court was in civil strife. Even the Manchus and the royal family were divided into two factions.
In the Battle of Langfang, the Eight-Power Allied Forces suffered 394 casualties and were forced to retreat.
After the Battle of Dagukou, 6 warships were sunk and more than 200 people were killed or injured.
Tianjiwei was captured, and more than 900 people were killed or injured.
Afterwards, more than 16,000 allied forces attacked Yanjing, and 635 people were killed or injured. In October, 30,000 German reinforcements arrived in Beijing, and suffered heavy losses in Baod, Zhang Jjiakou, Jxing, and Niangzguan.
This was caused by the old hag trying her best to hinder her.
Thanks to the well-developed transportation network in Beijing and Tianjin, once they pass this range, they have to get in.
This is already the maximum that the Eight-Nation Allied Forces can support logistically. If it is replaced by a single country, the expedition across the sea for tens of thousands of miles, don't even think about it. It has never suffered such a big loss in Ah San and South Asia.
This is the fundamental reason why they only engage in concessions and do not think about large-scale colonization.
Ahem, digressing again, let’s talk about Angola.
The big benefactor behind the An Renyun Movement is Lao Maozi, and it is Cuba who actually contributes.
The big benefactor behind the ISIL is the United States, and South Africa is actually contributing.
The two sides were fighting each other while tossing the grapes.
UNITA was defeated and disbanded, and Jonas Savimbi founded UNITA in March 1966 as its chairman.
It can be imagined that two black and strong men attack back and forth, the process is extremely rough, the kind that the TV is not allowed to write, and the little Portugal yells, buy discs, buy discs and pour out.
Although Portugal was limp like a puddle of mud, it was not without means. At the last moment, An Renyun was controlled to inject something into his body and crawled away.
The ISIL and UNITA had a mess, but they didn't inject the seeds. Of course, they quit. At the same time as independence, a civil war was triggered, and this war lasted for 27 years.
After that, the Anren Movement relied on Lao Maozi, and Cuba sent a large number of cist fighters to Angola to fight against UNITA.
The intention of the old US is only to drag the old Maozi's front line. For UNITA, the US only has a mouth and eliminated arms, and then South Africa is responsible for sending troops.
In the 1970s, South Africa was a dominant force in Africa. Naturally, they didn't want to let the red flames burn in, so they worked hard, and the war intensified, and Angola was beaten to pieces.
This fight lasted for ten years. By 1989, the old man was dying, and Cuba was completely dragged down.
In 1990, the People's Movement of An found that the red base camp was about to come to an end, but the United States was still so prosperous that it had to change its attitude, openly abandon the socialist line, and prepared to join the capitalist camp.
In May 1991, the Anglo-People's Movement and UNITA reached the "Bises Peace Agreement".
It was against this background that Sean led the African squadron and arrived at the port of Lobito in Angola with more than 1,000 soldiers under umbrellas.
The port of Lobito, a natural deep-water port, the largest port in Angola, was established in 1928
The established Benguela Railway leading to the inland of Africa can transship ore from Zaire and copper, zinc and other mineral products from Zambia.
Of course, the most important reason is that this is the territory of UNITA!
Sean, an American, the world's largest PMC boss, is of course a natural ally of UNITA and has nothing to do with justice.
President Savimbi of UNITA personally led a large number of important members of UNITA to pick up people at the dock. It was really a sea of people and firecrackers went off
When Sean saw Jonas Savimbi, if the man's **** was really proportional to the nose, then Sean couldn't hold back his laughter.
A **** fat man, about 200 kilograms, but black but black, with a short and big nose. When he laughs, his nose arches forward, like a spaceship.
Jonas Savimbi was very happy. Look, the helm of the next generation of the American super family, the world-renowned rich man, and the guest of the President of the United States, smiled so kindly when he saw me!
Grinning, looking around, accepting the envious eyes from left and right, Jonas Savimby took big steps to meet Sean.
It was a big bear hug when it came up, Sean resisted and pushed the guy hard, but it didn't push.
Your mother and I are here to help you build a shared prosperity circle in southern Africa, what a murderer you are!
Fortunately, Jonas Savimbi was a warlord, and his standard of living was comparable to that of ordinary Africans. Well, he was unknowingly more luxurious than ordinary people, and he didn't have that smell on his body.
After the hug, Jonas Savimbi grabbed Sean's hand with both hands, very hard. He is excited!
Here comes Sean, and there is peace!
Sean is here, and there is victory!
Sean is the savior!
He is the savior who saves the people of Angola from the fire and water!
It is the hope of the people!
Even though it is the ***, bah, the United States does not recognize the ruling power of the Angolan People's Movement. UNITA is the legal government of Angola on the United States side. Although African countries don't think so, South Africa agrees.
Well, South Africa at this time was not recognized by Africans, after all, it was a country where very few whites ruled blacks.
Western and pro-Western forces agree that UNITA is the legitimate government of Angola, and pro-Soviet or red factions agree that the Angolan People's Movement is the legitimate government. There are two days in the sky, and the state has two presidents.
It is still the normal reception process, taking pictures, videotaping, receiving flowers and blessings, and accepting interviews.
"May I ask Mr. Sean, why did you come to Angola at this time."
"I am here on a personal visit to Angola at the invitation of President Jonas Savimbi."
"Then why did you bring the fleet, and so many, soldiers?
"I express regret and dissatisfaction at the same time."
Sean said with a sad face: "Angola's political situation is unstable, and the Communist armed Angolan People's Movement has been destroying Angola's peaceful environment for its own selfishness, causing Angola's public security to fall into chaos."
"For personal safety reasons, I had to bring a large number of security personnel to protect my own safety."
"I hereby solemnly call on the Angola People's Movement and Mr. Dos Santos to stop the civil war, disarm, and build Angola together. This is really for the good of the Angola people. Angola's independence has not come easily. Don't destroy the hard-won country and the current most Good development opportunity.
"The 12 million people in Angola are innocent and should not pay for your political ambitions.
What is a beautiful language'!
Jonas Savimbi also gave a generous speech to the camera, denouncing the greed and cruelty of the Angolan People's Movement, disregarding the life and death of the Angolan people, criticizing the Angolan People's Movement for depriving Angolans of their right to freedom, creating wars, and causing a large number of Angolan People died, how many children lost their parents, how many families were displaced...
Anyway, how evil, how to put it.
These things will be released, and they will be posted in the UNITA-controlled area. In fact, few people will watch them. Angola is so poor that people who can afford TVs
There are not many courts in total, only the interview recordings, and there are not many radios, let alone speak English.
These are actually taken out for the record of their own national forces, and taken out as video materials or evidence when needed.
But most of them are the fate of ashes in the warehouse
After the play was over, Jonas Savimbi got into Sean's car, surrounded by people with umbrellas, and the outermost ones were the people of the UNITA.
It's not that they don't believe in the fighting power of the Allied Forces, or because they believe too much, so everyone doesn't let them take on any protection tasks.
Sean has no intention of putting himself in danger for the sake of face.
A group of people went to the center of Lobito, where Jonas Savimbi prepared a residence for Sean.
If you are going to another country or city, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com must be a place where the living area is large enough, and the environment is elegant and safe, such as the suburbs and the seaside.
But in Lobito, it must be the city center, densely populated area.
It is impossible to be on the outskirts of the city, and may be attacked by rebels at any time, and safety cannot be guaranteed. The building is not obvious, slightly dilapidated but strong enough at first glance. There are air-raid shelters underground, independent power generation equipment and water supply facilities, and food reserves.
Just highlight a safe, safe, or **** safe!
Sean looked speechless, "Or, I'd better go back to live on my battleship."
The atmosphere here is so good', Sean said that he couldn't accept it.
Jonas Savimbi laughed and said, "Don't worry, it's also for safety reasons. It's actually not that dangerous. We have more than 3,000 people around here, all of whom are veterans."
"Okay," Sean agreed in front of him.
Old fashioned, special products, banquets, singing and dancing, tanning beauties.
To tell the truth, she was pretty, with a shiny dark complexion, if that could be overlooked.
Sean didn't refuse without losing face, that would be too rude, he doesn't like to treat himself badly, but it's not that he is unqualified, so he sat upright.
I'm here for business!
Jonas Savimbi didn't force it either, and when he was almost done eating, he waved everyone away, leaving only two people in the room.
"I need weapons, I need ammunition, I need logistical supplies, and at the same time, I need a lot of materials to buy those powerful factions. There will be a new general election next year. If the current situation continues, Dos Santos will laugh. at last!"
