Chapter 902: Expansion

Chen Dahe rubbed his eyebrows and said to Liu Jianjian, "How could a good person have a coup d'Γ©tat, and he is also involved with the mercenary group, you can tell me about the situation, be detailed." ”

"Eh," Liu Jianshe moved his ass forward, sorted out his thoughts, and said softly, "Although the fuse of this incident was the large-scale anti-government demonstrations and strikes caused by the general rise in food prices in March and April this year, the root cause is still related to the four-year-long drought in Sudan."

A hint of understanding flashed in Chen Dahe's eyes, sure enough, hunger is the source of turmoil, if you can't even eat enough, can you still count on social stability?

On the other side, Liu Jianshe continued, "Sudan has suffered from drought for four consecutive years, agricultural production has been greatly reduced, and the number of victims has exceeded 1.7 million, and the government's poor response and improper planning, and hasty implementation of economic reforms, have caused the market to be depressed, gasoline is in shortage, and the supply of other daily necessities is also very tight." Recently, the economic policy of currency depreciation and the abolition of price subsidies for bread, gasoline and other basic necessities has led to an increase in commodity prices, which has aroused strong dissatisfaction among the broad masses.

It is against this background that the incumbent president, in order to strengthen his rule over the southern region, divided southern Sudan into three regions in July last year, and announced the introduction of a green law throughout the country, outlawing the production and sale of alcohol, as well as some recreational activities, which have greatly deepened the differences and antagonism between the north and the south. ”

A year?

Chen Dahe noticed that a year ago it was the time when the mercenary group was formed and began to be active in various parts of Africa, and if South Sudan started to be in turmoil at that time, it was very likely that the mercenary group would intervene.

But at this time, he was silent, and continued to listen to Liu Jianshe saying,

It was in this situation of boiling public discontent that Sudanese President Nimairi visited the United States at the end of March this year, and their army leader Dahap staged a successful coup d'Γ©tat, announced the takeover of power, dismissed Nimairy, and was welcomed by the people of the whole country. ”

Liu Jianshe clapped his hands after speaking, "That's it, the coup was successful!"

Chen Dahe looked at him stunned, "This is the end, what about the mercenary group?"

"Oh, that's right, mercenary group," Liu Jianshe wiped the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead, hehe smiled, and continued," About a year ago, due to the conflict between the northern and southern forces of Sudan, one of our mercenary groups accepted the employment of some local forces in the south, relying on sophisticated equipment and good military training, and gradually gained a lot of voice there, this time Dahap launched a military coup, in fact, at the beginning was also resisted by the armed forces supporting Nimairi, but under the suppression of the mercenary group, the resistance quickly disappeared, and then it was logical, almost all the armed forces called Dahap to express their support, which allowed him to take over power smoothly. ”

Chen Dahe frowned slightly when he heard this, "You just say directly, what is the situation of our mercenary group in Sudan now?"

It sounds like just a very ordinary armed mercenary business, although the hiring party is the opposite party, but it won't let Lao Liu run back upside down.

Liu Jianshe swallowed his saliva, glanced down, looked at his toes and whispered, "Well, the number of troops is just over 10,000, and if you count yourself, it accounts for one-third of the total military strength of Sudan, and two-thirds of the combat effectiveness." ”

Huh? Counting one-third of oneself, doesn't it mean more than half?!

Chen Dahe looked at him stunned, and after a while, he let out a sigh of relief, couldn't help but pat his head, and said weakly, "I remember that the number of mercenaries you originally set was only in the early two thousands, at most, how did this force develop into half of the Sultan's military strength?"

"It was like this at first, and then I didn't pay much attention to them, so much more," Liu Jianjian's head pierced lower, but he still explained, " Sudan has a lot of people affected by the disaster, many troops are not enough to eat, after that team passed, the number of battles is not much, but the business is doing well, they first use military rations to recruit people, and then after the battle, the employer is unable to pay commissions, so they use a large amount of ore to offset the account, those ores are almost given away for nothing, and then they use the ready-made channels to sell the ore cheaply to the third mining company, and then the money obtained goes to the Wuzhou company to buy grain, and the grain bought is then used to recruit people, or exchange ore with local forces, this back and forth, it has developed so big now。 ”

Although the system managed by Liu Jianshe has nothing to do with Wuzhou Grain Group and even the Third Mining Group, it is also a family and cannot be cut off, so under Liu Jianjian's black-box operation, the ore that no one wants in Africa can be sold to the Third Mining, and they can also buy the extremely sought-after and difficult to buy grain, and these two things alone have more advantages than most African forces.

Chen Dahe rubbed his eyebrows, looked at him and asked, "Lao Liu, didn't you keep an eye on them? If more than a hundred mercenary groups do this, how can you end the game!"

When Liu Jianshe heard this, his neck shrank even more, and his voice was almost inaudible, "Well, most of the mercenary groups did this." ”

Chen Dahe's blood suddenly surged, and he glared at him viciously, "What did you say?

"Boss, I really didn't expect this," Liu Jianshe cried with a sad face, "At that time, you said, let them disperse and hide, develop on their own, as long as they ensure that there is no problem with control, don't care, how do I know they are so crazy!"

"You mean you still blame me, right?!" Chen Dahe pointed at him, then snorted coldly, patted his chest, calmed down, shook his hand and said, "Just tell me directly, how many people are in the mercenary group now?"

"Hmm," Lao Liu glanced at the boss worriedly, and whispered, "I also made it clear before I came back, and the preliminary statistics were about six or seven hundred thousand." ”

Although he had made sufficient mental preparations, Chen Dahe's eyes were still dark, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

Six or seven hundred thousand troops, this expansion is a bit ruthless, what kind of trouble are you going to make?

"Boss," Lao Liu looked at him, poked his head out and whispered, "Although the number of people has increased, but the funds have decreased, now most of the legions can be self-sufficient, and a small number of them can also hand in dividends, so the burden is not as big as imagined, perhaps, there will be profits." ”

"Is this a problem of burden?" Chen Dahe glared at him helplessly, "How much military strength does our country have? Four million, at the end of last year, the chief announced to the whole world that one million would be disarmed, that is to say, in the end there will only be three million, and you will account for more than one-fifth, what, what do you want to do?"

As soon as he heard this, Comrade Liu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said, "Boss, you can't talk nonsense, it's 108,000 miles away, and you can't pull a piece, and how can those rabble compare with our people,"

As he spoke, he gritted the root of his teeth, "If it really doesn't work, it's a big deal, it's a big deal, let's also disarm!"

"Cut your head," Chen Dahe glared at him angrily, "Do you think it's our iron army that uses discipline to restrain you?" Let me tell you, if you dare to cut, they will dare to make trouble if they can't eat, I don't think your one hundred and ten mercenary groups can hide it!"
