Belitung Island is under the jurisdiction of the Indonesian province of South Sumatra, and the island county, the largest major town and port Tanjung Pandan City is not large, about 25 nautical miles from the salvage operation site, on the west coast of the island.

Zhang Nan sent supplies to the cargo ship, then left the salvage area, and on March 22, he transferred directly from the airport in Tanjung Pandan to his own private jet to Australia, without returning to Kundian, saving time.

With a runway length of 2,250 meters, the take-off distance is enough – the Boeing 767 doesn't have to take off with a full load and can't use half of fuel, and it arrives in Bruno, a small harbor town in Western Australia, in just over two hours.

In a small coastal city with a permanent population of only 3,000, there is an international airport that can take off and land Boeing 767 aircraft: the airport on Belitung Island in Indonesia is Indonesia's domestic airport, and it was only opened to Zhang Nan's plane for a bribe of 50,000 US dollars. Broome Airport is an open international airport, not only because of Australia's vast and sparsely populated area, but also because of the small number of international charter flights, which attracts many tourists throughout the year.

A very beautiful seaside town, once the center of pearl diving, is now a resort, there is no shortage of five-star hotels, and the most interesting thing is that each building in the town has a different architectural style - no building is the same in appearance!

On the outskirts of Broome is the world-famous Highbur Beach, where the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean gently wash over the 20-metre-wide white sand.

After a night's rest in the town, transfer to a regional propeller plane to the mining area, inspect the industry, and enjoy the fun of hunting wild boars that are rampant in Australia.

On April 1st, April Fool's Day, Thomas Jackson arrived at the mine with Xie Jianliang and a rotating group of seven or eight mine security guards, who were transferred from Sydney.

Thomas was busy, and after Zhang Nan finalized the cooperation with the Chinese community in the Kundian area a few days ago, Thomas returned to the United States in advance.

This time he came to his own security chief, first, Thomas also had to understand the work of his subordinates, and there was good news about Africa, otherwise he didn't need to bring Xie Jianliang.

When he met Zhang Nan, Zhang Nan was planning to go out hunting.

But the work is important, first listen to the situation in Africa: not Botswana, not Zimbabwe, but Angola!

As soon as he saw Zhang Nan, Thomas said: "Boss, the people we sent in advance found two huge kimberlite mining areas in the north of Saurim City, the capital of Lunda Sud Province in northeastern Angola, which is the approximate location you mentioned......

I had contacted Zhang Nan by phone before, but that was a few days ago, and only one was found, and now there are two!

On the other side, Xie Jianliang's spirit seems to be a little poor, because he took six planes in three days and flew half the world.

Previously, the "United Forces" sent people to Angola to contact the purchase of diamonds, but it did not go well, although Cuba began to withdraw its troops and South African troops also withdrew, but Angola's diamond-producing areas were basically in the southern part of the country, close to the South African army.

It is close to Namibia, and although Namibia became independent from South Africa more than half a month ago, Namibia's diamond mining rights are in the hands of De Beers, and the diamond-producing areas of Angola are also De Beers' sphere of influence.

The Xingchen Group and the United Forces are unable to touch Angola's existing diamond resources, not even a piece of the pie.

What to do?

The boss is a man of God, and when talking about diamonds in Angola, he once said that there should also be diamond mines in the northeast, about 35 kilometers north of Sorimu.

But the Angolan civil war was still going on at that time, and Saurimu was not spared, not to mention the city, even the airport was beaten to pieces!

Except for the "volunteers" and American planes that directly participated in the war, foreign forces should not want to go to the war zone: it is too chaotic and too dangerous.

The safety of life is not guaranteed, let alone prospecting and mining.

In the first two months, the situation calmed down a little, and the joint forces finally sent personnel to Shaolimu, plus Xie Jianliang, a bold enough prospecting expert.

At this time, Xie Jianliang took out a small plastic bag from the small bag he carried, Zhang Nan took it, and saw that there were more than a dozen crystalline diamonds of all sizes inside, and the largest should have exceeded 10 carats.

didn't look carefully, and said to Xie Jianliang: "You are bold enough, you have been fighting over there for more than ten years, and it has become a pot of porridge, ruthless enough!"

Be ruthless, be ruthless to others, and be even more ruthless to yourself!

Angola, where is it?

Tanjung, the most chaotic country in Africa today, almost doesn't even need to say the word "one"!

Xie Jianliang has an East Asian face, even if there is a group of people who can be regarded as more familiar with the protection of mercenaries in Africa, plus the legal camouflage identity, it is bold enough.

The chaos in Angola can no longer be simply described as a civil war, it is more complicated than the Three Kingdoms War!

More than 20 years ago, in the 60s, with the rise of the independence and liberation movement of the world's colonies, liberation wars broke out in Portugal's colonies in Africa one after another, which made the old imperialist countries in the West anxious.

Especially in Angola, the "Angolan People's Liberation Movement" (SPLM), supported by the Soviet Union and Cuba, carried out extensive guerrilla warfare, leaving the Portuguese colonial army exhausted!

In the 60s, Portugal spent 40% of the war in Angola on the Portuguese government.

By 1975, the Portuguese government had no choice but to agree to the independence of Angola and hand over power to the SPLM.

At the height of the Cold War, the United States, on the other side, of course, did not want the pro-Soviet and Cuban SPLM to come to power, so it quickly spent efforts to support the other two major factions in Angola: the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) and the National Liberation Front of Angola (FLLM) to confront the SPLM.

In order to increase its chances of victory, the United States has also co-opted the racist government of white South Africa and Zaire as allies, using bases in these two countries to supply arms to UNITA and SAFEL.

Who's going to do this?

Of course, it is the CIA, which is a typical "black project", the kind of secret that will not be admitted to death, but is known and made public by the whole world.

In 1975, Portugal reached an agreement on independence with SPLM, SLL and UNITA to form a transitional government.

The backgrounds are different, the backers are different, and the concepts are different, so they can't pinch together: within a few days, the SPLM, the SPLM, the Security Liberation Front and UNITA started fighting again.

In November of the same year, Angola became independent, but the Government was divided into two: the SPLM established the People's Republic of Angola, and the SLLF and UNITA established the People's Democratic Republic of Angola.

On the day of Angola's independence, a low-intensity armed conflict between Angola and three factions immediately erupted into a full-scale civil war.

From 1975, when the Portuguese rulers withdrew from Angola, to last year, Angola seemed to be a little unable to fight, and the three parties were negotiating again, and foreign troops began to withdraw.

If you can't beat it, let's talk about it.

Judging from the current trend, it is very likely that there will be real peace, and the three factions whose names Zhang Nan does not remember very well are thinking of establishing a coalition government, and the prospects for peace are very good.

But that's all an illusion!

"I still have to fight!

What kind of government, to put it bluntly, are three big warlords of similar strength,"

Zhang Nan had never wanted to get involved in Angola before, because he knew that the civil war in Angola seemed to be fought intermittently until the 21st century, at least when 911 broke out, and the news of the Angolan civil war could still be seen on TV.

Zhang Nan can't remember how many years he has been fighting, but in fact, it has been 27 years!

In 2003, the United Nations reported that 80 per cent of the Angolan population lacked basic health facilities, 60 per cent lacked water, 30 per cent of Angolan children died before the age of five, and the national average age was 40......

After 27 years of intermittent fighting, about 1 million people have been killed in the civil war and about one-third of the population has been displaced.

What is even more exaggerated: the total number of landmines left under the national soil of Angola is about 12 million, that is, one mine per capita of the country's 12 million people!

It is a bit difficult for Angola to have enough to eat, but it is convenient for everyone to play with a landmine.

While the civil war left a wound on Angola, in fact, the "sequelae of warlordism" is still there more than ten years after the end of the civil war: not to mention those landmines, the domestic checkpoints are like forests, compared with the civil war, there is only a little less blood

Around 2015, Zhang Nan had a friend's child working in Angola and was assigned by the company.

Speaking of Angola, the most is not the high-sounding topic of war trauma or something, but the level and greed!

"Just a few hundred kilometers of road, there are more than a dozen large checkpoints, countless small ones, and each one costs money.

Documents and passports are checked, there is no problem, it is still the same as robbing money, blatantly asking for you!

Do you dare to give?

People won't use violence, and if they make a big fuss, the gang of king-bastards won't be able to eat and walk around.

But those bastards also have a way, if you don't give it, you will be consumed, and you will not be able to leave.

The whole of Angola is such a national ethos, and there must be something hateful about the poor country......"

Speaking of Angola, that one has almost nothing to say!

"Doing engineering over there, just like Journey to the West, we seem to learn from the experience, as long as we go far away, there are greedy monsters everywhere along the way, and we have to sign and write customs clearance documents along the way, which makes us cry and laugh, because we really can't cry and laugh about it......"

Why can't you smile bitterly?

It's already a country, but it's still the kind of tradition that warlords and warlords of all sizes have to collect taxes.

It's a big deal to replace the "tax" more than ten years ago with "tolls", such bad luck urges the country, and the prospects of the common people can be imagined!

In fact, Angola's resources are not bad at all, with a large enough territory, a long enough coastline, and rich oil and mineral resources.

But the Three Kingdoms are in a scuffle, no matter how rich the resources are, it's useless!

Angola would be divided into three parts: SLL controls the oil fields in the north with 18,000 troops, UNITA occupies the diamond mines in the south with about 21,000 troops, and SPLM retains only the capital, Luanda, and a few surrounding provinces.

Even if a new government is organized this year, the uneven interests will still have to be fought: no one will give up their own territory.

Now how does Zhang Nan think that he can send someone to Angola to insert a lever?

This will be in the territory of the SPLF, and this faction is supported by the United States, so it is natural that American companies will be welcome to invest.

It doesn't matter what you invest, just give some benefits: it's good to come, this will be a bold and powerful company, who dares to go to Angola!

You don't have to pick, it's good if someone comes.

In addition, Sorimu is in the northeastern part of Angola, which is sparsely populated and the rule of the SPLF is relatively stable, and it is unlikely that there will be any more large-scale wars except after a few major wars a decade ago.

Last but not least, there are two huge diamond mines, each as big as Australia's Argyle Mine, and one of the top eight in the world!

Not only is it big, but it's also of the highest quality!

In 20 years, the average price of rough diamonds per half carat is about $120, and the rough diamonds produced by those two giant mines can reach more than 10 times the average value!

For example, the Katoca diamond mine in Angola, which was discovered in more than nine years, became a multinational cooperation project in more than ten years, and soon became the largest diamond mine in Angola: with reserves of more than 130 million carats, such as in 2015, the production of diamonds accounted for more than 70% of Angola's total!

And then it will be almost a wasteland, and even the peasants will hardly be visible.

In 2015 alone, 8.837 million carats of diamonds were unearthed from the ground, with a total value of about US$1.1 billion, which was also a benefit from the collapse in diamond prices.

One mine is enough to dig for almost 30 years. In the 21st century, diamonds became Angola's second largest export, and Angola became the world's fifth largest exporter of diamonds at that time.

There is also the Rulo mine, 20 kilometers from the Katoca mining area, in 2015, 31 diamonds weighing more than 10 carats were found in a row in more than 30 days, an average of one every 1.2 days: before this mine, no other diamond mine in the world has been able to do this, and its average quality is the best in the world!

It is this Lullo diamond mine, which found an average of "large-grained" diamonds, which sold for more than $1,600 per carat in 2015, while other mines only cost $120 per half carat!

The Rulo mine, in the 21st century, is the richest and highest quality diamond mine in the world, and it was just explored.

On September 28, it was announced that another giant diamond, weighing 90.32 carats, had been found, belonging to the D color (the highest color grade, extremely rare), and type IIa diamonds, which only 2% of the world's diamonds belong to. In the past week, 56.52 carats, 29.94 carats, 21.16 carats, 18.71 carats, 17.06 carats and two 11-carat oversized diamonds were obtained in the eighth section, which is located about 700 kilometres east of the Angolan capital and is likely to be worth more than the country's largest diamond mine, Catoca, which is currently the fourth largest diamond mine in the world. At present, Angola ranks fourth in the world in terms of diamond production value and sixth in terms of production.
