The next day, Lin Rui and several others left the temporary base and drove directly to the oil production area northwest of Anmore. Nature's Sounds

The area is owned by a Chinese company, and the climate is harsh. The daytime temperature is basically around 5o degrees Celsius, and the ground temperature is even as high as 7o degrees Celsius, as if people are being steamed and roasted in a steamer. The outer part is basically the same as the desert, but some areas inside are slightly better.

It is said that the production of oil fields in this area has reached the level of more than 100,000 barrels per day. There are also quite a few corresponding staff, at least a few hundred Chinese personnel and thousands of local employees. Africa is very rich in natural resources, such as oil, forests, various minerals, and so on, but these resources are meaningless to ordinary people.

For historical reasons, Africa's resources used to belong to the colonizers, and now belong to international corporations and governments and high-ranking officials in the government, and have little to do with ordinary black Africans. Oil companies rely on ******** offshore oil extraction, while most of the oil on shore is built in a closed base, and after the crude oil is extracted, it is transported directly from the sea, and many Africans can only see the walls of the oil base and the oil production platforms beyond the distant coastline.

This also makes it easy for these oil companies to be attacked and looted in the event of war.

Lin Rui took a general look at the surrounding defense situation, and then contacted the person in charge of the security force in charge of this area. The person in charge of the security of this oil production area is also a Chinese, and Lin Rui also knows him, because he is also one of the people who trained with him in Siberia that year, named Wang Jinghua. Because the Black Island Company suffered a heavy blow some time ago, he urgently needed mercenaries with experience in leading the team, so he has now become the leader of the team.

Due to long-term exposure to the sun, Wang Jinghua's skin has turned wheat-colored, and his spirit is still good. He walked over to greet Lin Rui and hugged him excitedly. "I've heard you're coming, it's been a long time!"

Lin Rui also patted him and said with a wry smile, "I'd rather not come this time, because what I brought was not good news." ”

"What?" Wang Jinghua frowned, "Is there something wrong?"

"It's going to be a lot of peace soon, and we had militants massing in the vicinity yesterday. It appears to be a clash between warlord forces, but in fact the clash should affect this area soon. Lin Rui said in a low voice. "How's your preparation?"

"There's a high concrete wall, a fence with a grid, and a couple of commanding heights with machine gun fire. We also had basic defenses when we came. After we took over, the weak point of defense on the north side was strengthened. More firepower has been deployed there, and the reconnaissance area has been expanded, and contingency plans have been formulated to quickly evacuate the people on the periphery to the base in the event of a situation. Wang Jinghua replied, "According to your request, we have also contacted a number of reporters, and if there is a war, they will quickly gather here." ”

Lin Rui nodded, "How is the employer?"

"Many of them are still skeptical, believing that an attack on the oil production area is unlikely. Wang Jinghua nodded.

"Wait a few more weeks and they'll not be so suspicious. Shogishi shook his head. "Our defense of the oil base this time may last for a while, and it is best for you to have sufficient reserves during this period. ”

"Yes, we're ready for that. But I'm more worried about the damage to facilities outside the base, such as the fact that they're blowing up the oil pipelines. ”

"There is no way to do this, so we can only send people to make frequent rounds when the time comes. In addition, tell the patrol team not to patrol according to the prescribed route, so as not to be familiar with the route and encounter roadside bombs. Lin Rui said a few more words.

Wang Jinghua said in a low voice, "There is one more thing. ”

"You say. Lin Rui nodded.

"What do we do if it's really bad? I mean if we can't hold on to extreme circumstances. Are we going to abandon the oil production base and evacuate people to relatively safe areas? Wang Jinghua said in a low voice.

"I hope this will not happen, if you are really forced to do so, you can temporarily abandon the oil production base, and retreat to the area we have specified according to the plan, and other surrounding teams will assist you. Lin Rui replied, "Their plan is just to force out the oil companies here, so it is unlikely that there will be large-scale destruction of the facilities." Therefore, everything is still based on ensuring the safety of personnel. It's up to you for the rest of the day. ”

Wang Jinghua nodded. At this moment, there was a commotion outside the door, and a man strode in and said, "What the hell is going on? Are you going to turn me into a battlefield?"

The man was tall and loud, "Why, why are you sending so many people here? We're an oil company, it's not a military base." ”

"May I ask who you are?" Lin Rui frowned.

"This is the vice president of the Anmore project, and he is also the person in charge here, Mr. Wei. Wang Jinghua introduced.

This made President Wei look at Lin Rui and seemed to feel a little surprised, "You are also Chinese?"

"I can't answer this question for security reasons. But what I can tell you is that the deployment of enhanced firepower is intended to prepare for the future. We have every reason to believe that the situation in Anmore will deteriorate rapidly in the coming days. We are doing our best to keep you and this base safe. And that's what you hired us for. Lin Rui said calmly.

"I didn't hire you, that's the decision from above. But you've gone a little too far, and I've seen a lot of winds and waves in Africa. But I've never seen you exaggerate like that. Your blatant erection of machine guns at intersections will cause nervousness and panic among our employees, and this has affected our production. Mr. Wei said sharply, "We hired you to protect me for production, not to play a counterproductive role." ”

"I think my mission is to save your lives and the oil base from destruction. You are in charge of the production, and I am not an employee of the oil company, so I am only responsible for security. Lin Rui looked up at him and said.

"To put it lightly, do you know how much oil this oil base produces in a day, and how much loss it will have if it stops for a day?" Mr. Wei said with some displeasure.

"I don't know, but I do know that the cost of building a facility at this oil base is much higher than a one-day shutdown. It's also better to stop work for a day than to lose it forever. Lin Rui said in a deep voice, "So, let's each do our own thing." ”
