MTL - America’s Big Hero-v2 Chapter 560 : Economy・Military H
Latest website: The issue of force has been fully planned, and Sean has also approved funds for Jonas Savimbi to bribe people.
By the way, does Jonas Savimbi have any assets of his own?
There are still some, scratch and scratch, tens of millions of dollars can be taken out, but this is already a family asset.
There are only so many chickens in Angola, and the territory he occupies is only a part of the south, which is only close to one-third. So many people share money, and they have to feed their soldiers.
Solved the issue of force and bribery, the rest is the source of weapons and economic issues.
The source of weapons, Jonas Savimbi, is too expensive, so we can only rely on Sean. In addition, the main force needs to be retrained, and the issue of equipment allocation is naturally for Sean to decide. I took it with me.
The top priority now is the economic issue, or the issue of food.
Jonas Savimbi's source of income is diamond mines, and the main source of income in Angola is diamond mines.
The problem is that the diamonds from the diamond mines in Angola are not 'legal'. Angola is a country as big as it is. Even with national certification, the diamonds produced by itself are still illegal. Yes, it is ironic.
If a diamond is to be legal, it needs a certificate, a diamond traceability certificate, and a diamond grading certificate.
Traceability certificate: refers to the certificate that records the whole process information of diamonds from mining to trading, including all processes from mining, cutting, quality inspection, logistics, processing, wholesale to retail.
Grading certificate: Based on the 4C standard, professional and qualified diamond appraisal and testing institutions will test and analyze the parameters of diamonds, and obtain a diamond attribute and quality based on the grading standards of relevant countries, industries and enterprises Report.
Here lies the problem. This so-called professional and qualified testing organization is controlled by several major diamond dealers, headed by De Beers. The reason given by De Beers is that diamonds in Angola use a lot of "forced" methods in the mining process, forcing workers to work in extremely harsh conditions, many people die every year, and every mined diamond is covered with stains. Blood, as merchants, they cannot intervene, nor have the ability to intervene in Angola's internal affairs, but they have the right not to sell blood diamonds!
Once the organization opens a circulation channel for diamonds produced in Angola, it will definitely lead to the expansion of diamond mining in Angola, which will lead to more deaths. This is inhumane and a blasphemy to life!
Well, the reason is very good. This set of methods was later cited by many countries and industries. For example, the XJ cotton incident was also for a similar reason.
Then, through some channels, the diamonds produced in Angola finally flowed into the hands of several companies such as De Beers
After all, gem-quality diamonds will eventually go to the market, and the sales channel must be diamond sellers in various countries.
Channels are the lifeline. Companies such as De Beers control Angola's economic lifeline. They know that the diamonds they mine have created excess profits for companies such as De Beers, but Angolans cannot enjoy them at all.
Even if it is a warlord like Jonas Savimbi, even Dos Santos, who currently controls more territory, can't do anything. Had to bow under the crotch of these diamond dealers.
After all, we still have to eat.
Sean has a detailed report on Angola's economy in his hand, which was collected by the intelligence department in advance.
In fact, Angola has very good natural conditions, fertile land, dense rivers, and the foundation of a large agricultural country.
Before independence, Angola was not only self-sufficient in food, but also exported in large quantities. It was known as the "granary of southern Africa". Its sisal and coffee exports ranked third and fourth in the world respectively. But after independence, half of the food supply depends on imports or Aid, it is impossible to have enough to eat, and a large number of people starve to death every year. So, is it out of a kind of inner independence?
What good does it do these **** to be independent?
Independence means freedom!
Independence comes with dignity!
If you become independent, your life will be gone... Cough cough, cross it out, you can trade the death of the bottom **** for freedom and peace
Dignity, this is the glory of the bottom niggas.
Cheers!
Independence, except that the person in power has changed from white to black, and everyone's life is worse, there is no benefit at all!
Angola is also a precedent. The South African army has fought in Angola for more than ten years, don’t you know?
So why keep up
Speaking of which, the northern part of Angola is a cash crop production area, mainly growing coffee, sisal, sugar cane, cotton, peanuts, etc., and the central plateau is a grain production area, mainly growing corn, cassava, rice, wheat, potatoes, beans, etc. Doss Santos occupies the north and the center, crushing Jonas Savimbi both economically and in terms of food.
In the southern area occupied by Jonas Savimbi, only the southwest area produces grain, and the rest of the land is a traditional livestock breeding area, which is rich in beef, mutton and chicken.
Angola is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and is also extremely rich in fishery resources, but due to economic reasons, the fishing industry is extremely underdeveloped, and the problem of storage is even more difficult, so it is useless.
Now, whether it is Dos Santos or Jonas Savimbi, their main source of income is diamond smuggling and oil.
The oil was not smuggled, it was left by the Portuguese, and it was well protected by both sides. The export channel was also from Portugal, and the price was suppressed far below the international oil price.
Of course, now Jonas Savimbi's oil channel has become Sean's, as for the price
Talk about money?
You are still not my brother!
Don't talk about money if you are a brother!
Talk about money hurt feelings!
"The scale of oil exploration can be expanded. I will send people over to carry out the construction. You don't have to worry about sales. You can sell it directly to South Africa."
Sean had planned in advance that South Africa does not produce oil and relies on imports.
In the past, the South African oil industry was mainly controlled by the South African government and the British, but now that Sean is here, the price of oil has remained stable! Increased oil extraction means that Jonas Savinby will become richer, and he is very happy.
The issue is,
"Can you solve the food problem?" Jonas Savimbi asked aloud.
He is a ruler, and he has to consider people's livelihood rather than making money, which is the foundation.
Jonas Savimbi is actually very powerful. He is proficient in three African languages and is also proficient in English, French, German, and Portuguese. When he was young, he studied in Portugal and Switzerland. He has a bachelor's degree in medicine and a doctorate in political science.
In the case of a completely backward economy, he has been entangled with the Anrenyun for 29 years, and will continue for more than 10 years in the future, relying on the tactical strategy of encircling the city from the countryside. Yes, he is still a fan of the teacher.
"Minsheng..." Sean slammed his lips, he came to Angola to make money, so what does the life and death of the little **** have to do with him.
"It's impossible for you to import food to fill so much. Millions of people have to eat so much in a day!"
"That's up to you. If you don't have enough to eat, how to rule, how to fight, how to develop." Jonas Savimbi said with a wry smile.
Sean snorted, "I'll gather a batch of food for you, but this amount can't be too much, I can't afford it."
"Of course, of course, I understand." Jonas Savimbi nodded quickly. He really couldn't solve the food problem, and the six major grain merchants didn't even bother him.
The price and channels of international grain are controlled by the six major grain merchants. They would rather dispose of the grain at a low price and use it to feed livestock than sell it cheaply. The reason is actually quite complicated. It's not just for making money, but the price of food must be stable.
Low grain hurts the peasants, which first came from Han Ban Gu's "Hanshu Shihuozhi 1", "If the purchase is too expensive, it will hurt the people; if it is too cheap, it will hurt the farmers. If the people hurt, they will be separated, and if the farmers hurt, the country will be poor."
It’s really not a theory created by several major grain merchants. The market value of several major grain merchants is not high. By 2015, the six majors will become the four largest. The largest ADM will only rank 321 among the world’s top 500. Not on the list.
Of course, they have done a lot in manipulating international grain prices. The United States has also clamped down on many countries through the four major grain merchants.
Definite and sure.
"It's not enough to rely solely on importing from foreign countries." Looking at Jonas Savimbi's appearance, Sean's tone softened a lot. This guy is sober in the world and has a strong desire for power, but he really has Angola in his heart. Not the kind of purely selfish person.
He is a very complicated person, and just because of this, Sean looked up to him a few times. "I also know, but without peace, food production cannot be restored." Jonas Savimbi said helplessly.
"never mind."
Sean waved his hand, stared into Jonas Savimbi's eyes and said, "Don't say that I only know how to exploit Angola and don't care about the life and death of the Angolan people at all. I'll find you a group of real agricultural experts to help you. You conduct a comprehensive survey and planning design, find ways to increase grain production under the existing conditions, and at the same time solve the problem of grain imports at regular prices.”
"At the same time, I will help you solve the problem of rough processing and export of some beef and mutton, and build a fishery industry group from fishing to processing."
"thanks, thanks."
Jonas Savimby stood up suddenly, his fat body opened his arms, excited to give Sean a hug, but he froze in place under Sean's stern eyes.
With a sneer, Jonas Savimbi withdrew his arm, "I thank Mr. Sean on behalf of 5 million Angolans."
"Okay, I'm not a **** Angola savior, I'm here to make money, not a **** charity, give up the illusion, don't expect to kidnap me with morals, I, Sean, a capitalist, eat meat and drink blood The kind." Sean pointed to himself, "You can figure it out for me."
"Understood, I understand that the interests of Mr. Xiao En will always be guaranteed by the people of Owendu." Jonas Savin nodded heavily.
Sean rolled his eyes, I **** promise you, if you dare to play tricks, I will directly replace you.
"That's it, I'm leaving." Sean got up and walked out, Jonas Savimby quickly followed.
There is no reason to stay in this poor place in Angola. Sean didn't want to live in the basement, so he took people back to the port after finishing the work, and left directly after the supplies were completed.
Not everyone left. Sean left a group of people in Lobito, which is not only the largest port in Angola, but also a transportation hub. He wants to build a small military base here.
The only way for this ghostly place in Africa to protect its own interests is by force. In the future, grain and animal imports and exports, fisheries, oil exports, and mineral exports will all go from here. Sean must ensure that Lobito is under his control.
In fact, the best place should be Cabinda.
Cabinda is an enclave in Angola. It is in the middle of the DRC and Brasilia. It is not a big place, only 7,800 square kilometers. However, the offshore oil production here is extremely rich, but it has not been explored yet, and no one pays attention to it. Of course, Xiao I don't know either.
I returned to South Africa and stayed for a few days. By the way, I will deal with the affairs here. The alliance of black chiefs created by Pietra Adem and Sean will continue to expand, and it cannot be limited to the vicinity of Cape Town, Sean The appetite is not so small. Sean is now the largest mountain among all the interests of the United States in South Africa, and it is the link of the Black Chiefs Alliance to the outside world. Therefore, he will come here every once in a while to meet and communicate with the newly joined black chiefs. Of course, the specific matters are handled by the people below, including arranging for the family members and children of these black chiefs to travel to the United States, study, work, and so on.
As the Black Chiefs who are qualified to see the world with their eyes open, they are not short-sighted. After being delayed for half a month in South Africa, Sean flew straight to Lithuania in a private plane. Exploitation in Africa requires a lot of munitions, and the most suitable ones are Soviet-style weapons, especially AK guns.
The **** don't maintain themselves, not to mention the guns are always black and greasy, with all kinds of dirt inside, that is, AK.
Therefore, Sean issued the "Commodity-for-Arms Plan" two months ago, and now the goods have arrived at the port of Klaipeda. This kind of large-scale smuggling and large-scale arms trade has to be handled by Sean himself.
Vytautas Landsbergis, chairman of the Supreme Council, well, although Lithuania has become capitalist, the president
Haven't chosen yet, will have to wait until next year.
Sean arrived and was greeted by him at the airport in person.
On the one hand, Sean's status and international influence, on the one hand, Sean has invested a lot in Lithuania, and on the other hand, Sean brought a large amount of daily necessities, three super-large freighters, and 500,000 tons of goods~www .novelbuddy.com~ Daily necessities, or light industrial products, are lacking in the entire Soviet system, and the shortage is serious, otherwise there will be no downfalls.
Video recordings, interviews, speeches, banquets, the necessary procedures, it will be night after a circle.
In the evening, it was time to talk about serious business. Sean had revealed beforehand that he was going to get a batch of arms, and now the two of them were talking about this.
"Why take arms from Ukraine?" Vytautas Landsbergis asked with a smile.
"What's the problem? Isn't there a lot of strategic arsenals left by the Soviets in Ukraine?" Sean asked with some doubts.
"Lithuania also has them, and there are many!" Vytautas Landsbergis looked at Sean and said, "We can fully meet your needs."
"Ah!" Sean looked at Vytautas Landsberges in surprise, he hadn't heard of it.
Don't they all say that Ukraine's strategic arsenal has supplied the arms smuggling market for the next three decades?
