But the expression on Steiger's face made Lin Quan feel strange, Ackerman looked very happy, why didn't he look happy at all?

"Hehe, because oil has brought turmoil and even war since ancient times, I am worried about the future of our country!"

Lin Quan chuckled in his heart, Steiger's worries were definitely not groundless!

It seems that since mankind entered the era of the internal combustion engine, that is, after the second industrial revolution, oil has become the focus of competition, and the countries that have oil, except for the big countries like the United States, Russia and China, the remaining small countries have not been able to eat good fruits.

The countries in the Middle East are not to mention, they are all fighting in a mess, and several countries with oil in Africa are also miserable, Sudan discovered oil, and then South Sudan made an independent scene, and the government naturally did not allow it, so it crackled for decades, and then the freedom beacon country, which claimed to be a fighter for human rights, began to sacrifice the stick of sanctions, and sanctioned Sudan at once, which is tantamount to letting South Sudan become independent, and as a result, the two sides fought more happily, and they have not yet decided on a winner after fifty or sixty years, although the main reason is that there are religion, politics, cultural and other reasons, but the oil discovery in South Sudan, especially in Darfur, is definitely the fuse.

Not to mention a young country like Sudan, even an old empire like the British Empire, which has been unified for hundreds of years, and Scotland is not going to split with England because of the distribution of oil interests?

And another country in Africa, Angola, is also a tragedy!

Angola is rich in oil and was once China's largest importer of crude oil, but after the discovery of oil, the country's civil war lasted for 27 years, resulting in countless deaths and injuries among the country's population, and an alarmingly high mortality rate for children under the age of 5.

Niger has had civil wars before, otherwise it would not have been sanctioned by the West African Union, but their civil wars are much smaller than the two countries mentioned earlier.

In recent years, as the country's life has been tight, this contradiction has gradually emerged, but because everyone can't eat enough and can't afford to buy weapons, after all, the large number of weapons after the collapse of the Soviet Union has basically been exhausted after 20 years, and if you go to the arms market to find treasures, those weapons are not only expensive, but also have political additional requirements, and they basically can't get them, so they haven't fought much in recent years.

But now that a super oil field has appeared, then everything is hard to say!

Hearing what Steiger said, Lin Quan couldn't sit still.

His farm is in the north, and the location of the oil field is not far from his farm, only more than 100 kilometers, if a civil war breaks out in Niger, will he not be affected?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said goodbye and left, returned to the hotel, called Denise up, and didn't have time to wait for the farm's car to come, so he directly chartered a car and went north.

After more than ten hours on the road, the car finally arrived at the farm.

At this time, it was already late at night, Lin Quan paid the money, and he didn't care about being tired, so he directly found Zhao Cheng and asked him about the safety of the farm.

"In fact, the impact of this matter on us is not to say that there is none, but the current situation is still unclear, you must know that Niger's national defense is not your own decision!"

Zhao Cheng was on duty tonight, and when he saw Lin Quan's tired expression, he knew that he was very uneasy, so he poured him a cup of tea and enlightened: "Niger's army is only 5,500 people, the police are only 1,400 people, and the Republican Guard is only 2,500 people. The combat effectiveness of the hundreds of French troops here is comparable to the combat effectiveness of the entire Nigerien Defense Force, and if there is turmoil in Niger, the Libyan garrison in the north will immediately move south. ”

After the Libyan civil war, the French saw it as their backyard and stationed an army in Benghazi, the second largest city, which was also a Foreign Legion, but unlike the one stationed in Niger, it was a rapid reaction force with several C-130 Hercules transport planes.

This transport aircraft is a small and medium-sized transport aircraft, which can transport 65 fully armed paratroopers or 100 armed soldiers at a time, and its speed can reach 540 kilometers per hour, with a combat radius of more than 1,500 kilometers.

The C-130 transport aircraft is very old, but it is very practical, it is specially designed to adapt to a variety of complex environments, in the absence of a special airport and runway, it can land safely, but also can take off at short distances, more than 500 meters of runway is enough for it, so in various combat operations, the Americans are very fond of this thing, and even modified it, installed artillery on it, and changed it into an A-130 air gunboat attack aircraft! This should be the largest attack aircraft in the world.

Niger is not a sovereign country, its military defense needs to rely on the help of the United States and France, because it was originally a French colony, so the relationship with France is more intimate, the French army has two camps in Niger, one in the north Agadez region, one in the south of the lower Niger River, not very far from the capital Niamey.

Fools can see what the French mean by this arrangement, but the Nigeriens don't care at all, because the independence of the country is picked up anyway, so what does it matter if the suzerain's country has a little army? Besides, every year the suzerain's aid is also a lot, and they are already very satisfied.

"Is that really okay?"

Lin Quan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was really worried about him along the way, people who grew up in a peaceful environment, without seeing war, had no deep experience of war.

Lin Quan has not been through the war, so he didn't have a deep understanding of it, but the civil war in Libya at the beginning of last year, coupled with a series of turmoil in the entire Arab world, made Lin Quan feel a little shocked.

He suddenly found that these areas where turmoil occurred were too close to him, and Niger was also a country with strong Islamic infiltration, so he might be involved in this turmoil one day, so he would vigorously support the security team proposed by Zhao Cheng.

And this time the crisis seems to be bigger than before, because the previous inducement was relatively small, but this time it is big enough, a billion tons of large oil fields, I am afraid that the terrorists will also covet it, right? Not to mention the five hooligans......
