Uzan is located in the most important iron, copper, cobalt and other metal mining areas in Africa, and there are a large number of areas within the territory of the country that have metallogenic conditions. 【】：。 During the period of British and French colonial rule, European mining companies used to establish some mines here, and also carried out small-scale mining. However, due to the constraints of local natural conditions and the reluctance of Western countries to invest in the construction of roads and other infrastructure, these mines were not developed in the end.

Before the democratic reforms, the mining industry in the Uzan Kingdom belonged to the monarch, and the limited amount of mineral products mined each year became the money for the monarch's extravagant consumption. After the overthrow of the old king, the elected president lacked local control and was unable to integrate the country's mineral resources. The mining of the whole country is basically in a state of disorder, the scale of mines is small, and mining disasters are frequent. In some places, mines have been abandoned due to armed conflicts, and large quantities of mined ore are abandoned in the open air, and during the rainy season, turquoise mineral-bearing wastewater flows into the surrounding rivers, causing extensive environmental pollution.

Faced with this situation, many of the political elite of the Usan country are deplored, and they have either proposed to the current government that the government should carry out drastic reforms to revitalize the mining industry in the Usan country, and thus the economy of the country as a whole. Or start forming an opposition party to prepare for victory over the current ruling party in future elections so that they can implement a new policy on their own.

Nahler was a politician who wanted to change the status quo of the country, and he had an ambitious set of governing policies that he would want to implement vigorously when he was in power.

According to Harorre's introduction to Lin Zhenhua and others, the people of other provinces have also seen hope from the prosperity of the northern province and are willing to support Nale's presidential candidacy, hoping that Nale's position can bring changes to the whole country.

Nale knew that if he wanted to be president, it would be impossible without the support of the great powers. The country is already a nominal democracy, and the president is elected by the bench. Campaigning has never been a poor man's game, and it takes money to form one's own campaign team, to publicize one's ruling program in the media, and to buy off some interest groups that have a large number of votes in their hands. Uzan is a poor country, and it is difficult for candidates to raise campaign funds from within the country, and the only people who can support candidates are the great powers.

The current major opposition parties in Uzan have the support of European and American forces behind them, and Nale must also find a supporter to be in power. Unlike other opposition leaders, Nahler is a very strong nationalist, and he is unwilling to sell his country's interests in exchange for the support of foreign powers, which makes it necessary for him to examine the demands of his backers when choosing a backer.

Before coming into contact with Lin Zhenhua, Nale had also contacted some foundations in Britain and France, and these foundations proposed to him a number of political and economic conditions, which made Nale feel very uncomfortable. He knew that if he agreed to these conditions in full, then the government he formed in the future would become a puppet of Western countries, which was by no means the result that Nahler was willing to see.

Harory's return of Chinese industrial equipment from Frankfurt also opened a new window for Nahler. Nale carefully observed for four years, and from the actions of Chinese companies in the northern provinces, he saw the spirit of the Chinese who pay attention to national peace and respect each other's freedom.

In Chinese, there is no arrogance of a big country and no self-proclaimed sense of cultural superiority. In the face of various living customs and cultural conflicts, the attitude of Chinese has always been to express understanding and respect. Indeed, it was not Chinese politicians who came to the northern province to provide construction and technical guidance, but ordinary workers and technicians. But it is precisely because of this that Nale believes that their performance is not the hypocrisy of politicians, but the innate generosity and humility of the Chinese.

"I hope you will support my candidacy for president." Nale said frankly to Lin Zhenhua and others.

Support Nael's candidacy for president! Lin Zhenhua's feeling at this moment, in the words of later generations, is called Lei De Jiao Wai and Nei Nen. Playing big, I'm just a mechanical student, traveling into this time and space, cheating with a golden finger, and starting a large enterprise, which is already very rebellious. It's no joke that someone is asking to support him for the presidency. Although a Wusang country is equivalent to a province in China, or even a relatively small province, no matter how small a country is, it is also a country. In the event that Nale becomes president and visits China, he will have to come out to meet with the Chinese president. At that time, Nale and the Chinese president said: Well, my presidency is actually funded by your Xiaolin...... The state security department is not allowed to invite me to tea right away?

Thinking of the security department, Lin Zhenhua remembered Chen Tian and Lao Dao beside him, these two are now sitting next to him drinking tea. He turned his head to look at Chen Tian and said embarrassedly: "Mr. Chen, look at this matter......

Chen Tian was amused and said to Nale: "Governor Nale, I very much appreciate your ideal of pursuing national independence and people's freedom. China, like the Usang Kingdom, has suffered from colonial aggression by Western powers in history, so our desire to free ourselves from Western oppression is exactly the same. The ruling philosophy you put forward is to develop the economy, strengthen the country and enrich the people, and I think any Chinese will support this concept of yours. ”

Lin Zhenhua admired Chen Tianzhen so much, this guy usually laughs and scolds, saying that he is a national cadre, but in fact, he is more angry than a taxi driver. At a critical time, the second generation of red people is indeed the second generation of red, and what they say is more mainstream than news broadcasts.

Of course, Lin Zhenhua knew that what Chen Tian was thinking about was not the issue of resisting Western oppression, but the need to infiltrate the work of the secret front into Wusang Kingdom. But he was able to package this kind of idea that was not on the table in such a high-sounding language, which made people listen to it like a spring breeze, what a talent.

"Governor Nale, as President Chen said, we Chinese people pursue independence and freedom, so our wishes are exactly the same as those of Governor Nale." Lin Zhenhua took Chen Tian's words and continued, the hint in Chen Tian's words, Lin Zhenhua has fully understood, "I am a business operator, I don't know much about politics, however, Governor Nale hopes to develop the economy of Usan Province, and we Hanhua Heavy Industry Group will fully support it." ”

"Great!" Harory clapped his hands, he was Naale's right-hand man, and he certainly knew what Nahler needed most right now. Hearing Lin Zhenhua's promise that he was willing to support Nale, how could Harory not be overjoyed. He is now the Minister of Industry of the Northern Province, and if Nale becomes the president in the future, he may become the Minister of Industry of the Usan State, no, he has made such a great contribution, I am afraid that it is also justified to be the Prime Minister of the Usan State?

"Manager Lin, we hope to have in-depth cooperation with Hanhua Heavy Industries in mineral exploration and mining, considering that the international mineral market is currently in a period of recession, we are willing to discuss with Hanhua Heavy Industries on specific development conditions. We're not going to let our friends suffer. Hallore promised.

"As far as I know, the most important mineral deposit in Usan is the copper mine, does Minister Hallorey have any data on the national copper reserves?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

"At present, the proven reserves of copper in Usan are less than 2 million tons, but this is only a small part of the proven reserves. According to the estimation of the geological experts we hired, our national copper reserves should be around 10 million to 20 million tons, and the proven reserves are only equivalent to 10% of the potential reserves. In the Manobi-Sandoa-Kole exploration area within our territory, 15 copper anomalies have been identified by aeromagnetic methods, and there are 3 large deposits, which have good prospecting prospects, while this area is currently completely undeveloped. ”

"What is the concept of 10 million to 20 million tons of copper?" Lin Zhenhua asked Lao Dao in a low voice, he is engaged in machinery, and he really has no concept of mineral data.

Old Knife is a strange man, he usually looks confused, and his only hobby is eating. But Lin Zhenhua has been in contact with him for a long time and knows that the old knife's straw bale belly contains countless good goods. He can recite a lot of industrial materials backwards, and Lin Zhenhua took him like a mobile hard disk, and it was also the kind of giant hard disk with a capacity of hundreds of T.

Hearing Lin Zhenhua's question, Lao Dao smiled slightly and said: "Our domestic copper resources are about 50 million tons, and a considerable part of them are poor mines. The average copper ore grade in Wusan is more than twice that of China's copper ore grade, and there are a large number of associated ores such as gold, silver, manganese, and niobium, and the mining value is very large. ”

"So ruthless?" Lin Zhenhua's eyes lit up with gold. Equivalent to one-fifth or even two-fifths of the country's copper ore reserves, what kind of concept is this? Lin Zhenhua knows that China's economy is still in its infancy, and the demand for minerals is not large, and there is even a large amount of ore to be exported every year. But in 10 years' time, China's economy will begin to develop in full force, and there will be a huge ore shortage. If he can get his hands on the prospecting and mining rights of the Usan Kingdom now, in 10 years, he will be rich just by eating these mines.

"Mr. Hallore, which countries are currently looking for minerals in Ussan? Do you have an owner or a master for those deposits? Lin Zhenhua couldn't wait to ask.

"At the moment, big companies such as Vale in Brazil and BHP Billiton in Australia are negotiating prospecting and mining rights with our provinces. However, the conditions they offered were very harsh, and as far as I know, the provinces have not yet signed a final agreement with them. If Manager Lin is interested in this, I think I can use my connections to contact the provincial officials on your behalf. ”

"Of course I'm interested." Lin Zhenhua said loudly, his voice was so loud that the whole table looked at him. However, Lin Zhenhua did not feel a trace of uneasiness at the gaze of everyone, he faced everyone, and said solemnly with a harmless and pure expression:

"I'm interested in anything that can help the people of Africa!"
