Chapter 284: Different (The Third Subscription Requests)
Kane was on the matter, but it also made Jonas's heart feel much more comfortable.
Yes, in the past or in the future, there were no less wars and massacres here.
Angola will be able to steadily develop offshore oil fields in the future, and I don't know how many people have been killed to achieve a stable situation.
Thinking of this, his heart felt a lot better.
At the same time, he was alarmed by the penetration of Armenia into Africa.
It's just a casual hand of chess arranged by the people below the people, which can exert such great destructive power.
Kane asked, "What should we do next? Do we want to get revenge or not?"
He killed more than a dozen of his subordinates this time, injured dozens of them, and roughly estimated that it would cost him hundreds of thousands of pensions.
Local blacks are cheap, and a thousand dollars can make them grateful to Dade, and most of them earn less than a dollar a day.
But the core members brought from Europe, two dead and six wounded, cost a lot of money.
They are the bodyguards, and there is no urge to retaliate, unless, Jonas is willing to spend money.
Jonas groaned and said, "No, we can't come forward. This matter still has to be handed over to the Angolan government. ”
Jonas they came to look for oil, to do business. If it becomes a factor of instability, and the media in Europe and the United States report it, their reputation will be even more stinky.
If he spends a few million today and asks Kane to find a few hundred people to directly attack the Bukzau people, although he is angry, it will directly affect their big plan to develop oil on the west coast of Africa.
It wasn't until around 3 p.m. that the ANA arrived from Puerto Soyo, five hours after Santos called Jonas.
The port of Soyo, which is only eighty kilometers from Cabinda, can be reached in two hours by boat, and it took five hours, which proves how quickly their army can be assembled......
Leading the team was a brigade commander named Matadi, who didn't speak English, and Jonas needed an interpreter to communicate with him.
He was also lukewarm, or slightly proud, towards Jonas. When he arrived in Cabinda, he focused his energies on cleaning up the battlefield.
Kane and the more than twenty captives they captured, after he arrived, did not interrogate them at all, and directly had them tied to a wooden pillar in the city and shot.
Although Jonas knew that his actions were intended to intimidate the locals, he was still a little unhappy with his reckless behavior of human life.
However, Jonas didn't have time to be angry with him, and the battlefield of his game was no longer in Cabinda.
If it weren't for this raid, he would have used small favors to win over the local tribes. A tribe can entrap them by giving them some supplies and giving them some jobs.
But now, the Bukzau tribe has engaged in such a big battle that even high-ranking officials have been killed by them, and if Santos does not retaliate, he will not be able to sit on the throne of the presidency.
Next, Cabinda will definitely be in the midst of a bloody storm, and at this time, Jonas is definitely not suitable to stay here.
Even if you want to win over the other two tribes, you have to wait until the military campaign here is over.
In the afternoon of the same day, Jonas summoned Yang Yi and Essen, and after this accident, the first thing to do was to calm the hearts of the army.
More than 800 prospectors will be divided into three shifts and will take turns on paid leave. Jonas contacted a TAP Portugal flight and would first send the scared staff back to Europe for a week's vacation.
After psychological counselling, they will be allowed to return to Africa.
In the afternoon of the same day, Jonas also left Cabinda and returned by boat to the port of Soyo, where he returned to Luanda before dark on a military transport plane at the air force airfield in the port of Soyo.
Jonas returned to the palace and was received by Santos with a number of high-ranking officials in the country, as well as with Soviet and Cuban military commissioners.
After a night of discussion in the government palace, the group decided on the blockade news and the big plan to take revenge on the Bukzau tribe.
There are also outside media in Angola but very few journalists have been granted access to the country, and in Luanda they do not have first-hand information.
In Cabinda, there is also a reporter for a media outlet, but it is affiliated with News Corp. They can be said to be the mouthpieces of the coalition of interests, and will only report the news according to Jonas's wishes.
The only thing to be afraid of is the Western media in Zaire, because Zaire now has close relations with the West, they want to use Western capital to build a hydropower station on the Congo River, and there are many Western media activities in Zaire.
Santos will carry out a direct military operation, blockading the border with Cabinda and retaliating against the Bukzau tribe.
During this period, no media will be approved to enter Cabinda.
It's not 30 years from now, and there is still a strong delay in the coverage of world news even on television, let alone in print media.
As for self-media, no one knows what it is.
As long as there is a news blockade, the genocide in many places is unknown to outsiders.
After Santos made this decision, Jonas was not fit to stay in Angola. Allowing the outside world to associate retaliation with Jonas would be detrimental to Jonas's personal image.
Before leaving the country, Jonas called Kane and asked him to woo the two Congolese tribes while Santos' government forces were conducting a military campaign against the Bukzau tribe.
To this end, Jonas left Erwin half a million dollars in funds to take charge of it in Cabinda.
And Mikiros, who had been left by him in Angola before, will return to Europe with Jonas this time.
Erwin is better suited to stay in Africa than Mikiros, but Jonas needs to make up for it before that, so he keeps Erwin with him.
On 30 April, Jonas returned to Switzerland. On 1 May, 1,600 government soldiers marched north from Cabinda to carry out a military operation codenamed "Extermination" against the Bukzau tribe.
Although Jonas came over this time, the original plan did not come to fruition. But this unexpected attack opened the curtain on the reshuffling of Cabinda's forces.
Hannah and the others don't know about Jonas's experience in Africa, but the news can't be hidden from Richie.
On 26 April, a serious leak and explosion occurred at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the city of Pripyat, in the Kyiv region of the Soviet Union, near the border with Belarus.
The accident caused a total of 31 staff deaths, thousands of people exposed to strong nuclear radiation, and tens of thousands of evacuations, which had a great impact on the European environment.
In addition to environmental pollution, the accident brought more psychological panic to people.
Local residents of Ukraine and Belarus have fled the region.
Because of this accident, no one paid attention to what happened to Jonas in Africa, and the attention of the media around the world was attracted by the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
Rich traveled to the Soviet Union on 28 April to attend an emergency meeting held by the Soviet Union.
At this meeting, Rich donated 50 million dollars to help the Soviet Union with the transfer of people and property and the construction of temporary settlements.
Jonas only met Ritchie, who had returned from the Soviet Union, on 3 May, and the two men communicated about the military clashes in Angola.
With Kane's expansion taking time, Richie decided to send a mercenary force from Ukraine to Cabinda to assist Yang Yi and Essen in their business development plans.
The political meaning of this mercenary army is too strong, although it was formed by Rich with a lot of money, but many of the soldiers in it are the dark lines of the Soviet Union, so except for the development of oil fields in Siberia, Rich rarely uses this mercenary.
However, this commercial development plan was backed by the Soviet Union, so it was only natural that Kane should use them in the face of his current lack of strength.
On 5 May, Jonas met with the regiment leader Andreev, who had come from the Soviet Union, in his office in Zurich.
Unlike Jonas had previously imagined, Andreev was not only not a heroic soldier, but he was almost sixty years old.
He was short, thin, and wore a pair of glasses that looked more like a college professor.
In the face of Jonas's surprise, he behaved very calmly, and took the initiative to reach out his hand and said, "Hello, Jonas." From now on, we will be at your disposal. ”
Jonas suppressed the shock in his heart, shook Andreev's hand, and invited him to sit down across from him before he spoke: "Captain Andreev, to be honest, you are completely different from what I thought, and at this time, I realized that your legion seems to be completely different from what I thought. ”
Andreev sat across from Jonas and did not have the slightest military momentum. "The rank of captain was my military rank during World War II, and after World War II, although I was a director and a director, captain was still my proudest status. ”
Commissioner Jonas laughed, "I'm even more curious about your experience. ”
"It's a long story, and I'd love to share it with you. ”
In the future, when he wanted to serve Jonas, Andreev did not be arrogant in front of Jonas because of his youth, but introduced his past representatively.
This mercenary group is not an expansion of an armed squad like Kane.
Most of their members were originally military and political leaders in the Soviet Union, but they were still a group of officials who were about to retire.
The state system of the Soviet Union was not suitable for the entry of capitalists, but in order to attract international investment, the Soviet Union set up a public-private partnership to attract foreign capital investment.
But the original intention of the establishment of this institution has deteriorated from the day it was founded, and it has gradually become a department of exile because of ideological differences.
Investments by international "friendly" people like Ritchie could not be obtained in the Soviet Union. So what to do, you can only invest in the technical services sector.
His biggest investment in the Soviet Union was oil extraction and mine exploitation, and many oil fields and mines provided technical services to Rich.
The establishment of such an industrial cluster requires transportation and service teams, and these people gradually become a special group.
They are said to be mercenaries, they have a government background, but these people are not recognized by the government after they retire.
Seeing him, Jonas really understood why Richie was able to expand his power so much after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
At this time, Jonas also had the intention of wooing them......
