"Wu Chen, the mercenary corps has recently transported a large number of supplies to Afghanistan, including a lot of light weapons and equipment from the former Soviet Union, and it seems that you and the Taliban government have cooperated very well." Lin Qingyi sat under the sun umbrella, wearing a casual sportswear, exceptionally youthful and beautiful, with a badge and a camera around her neck, which looked like a reporter.

"I admit that there is an arms deal with the Taliban government, but it does not involve heavy equipment and sophisticated equipment, and this little thing in Afghanistan is not enough to alarm the chiefs. Wu Chen held the purple sand cup, slowly tasting the fragrance contained in the slight bitterness of Biluochun, and did not care about the movements of the Huaxia military monitoring the mercenary corps.

As the world's largest mercenary organization that can establish its own country, as a mercenary organization with the ability to develop and manufacture cutting-edge weapons and equipment, and as a mercenary organization that ranks among the top in the world in terms of force value, it has touched the nerves of many countries.

In addition to the CIA of the United States, the General Intelligence Service of Russia, the MI6 of the United Kingdom, and the Mossad of Israel, at least twenty or thirty other countries have also sent agents to various locations of the mercenary corps to pay close attention to the mercenary army's every move.

"At present, the news media of many countries are commenting on Afghanistan, and it is said that your Atlantis Mineral Resources Company has found a large number of oil and gas resources and metal minerals in this country, which proves that Afghanistan is not only not the kind of resource-poor country, but a cornucopia of amazing value!"

"In addition, the mineral authorities of France, the United Kingdom, Germany and several other countries have released preliminary data, believing that Afghanistan has more than 1 billion tons of crude oil alone, and more than 30 trillion cubic meters of natural gas reserves. Lin Qingyi asked.

This topic did not surprise Wu Chen, we all know that the mercenary corps has always been unprofitable and cannot afford to act early, relying on the arms and equipment transactions with the Taliban government in Afghanistan, as well as the aid of food and materials, and won the exclusive right to explore and develop mineral resources in the country in one fell swoop, which makes many countries feel incredible, will there be mineral resources in this broken place?

However, with the investment of Atlantis Mineral Resources, with the development of oil and gas fields, with the development of copper and iron ore, coal mines, salt mines, lapis lazuli mines, marble and other resources, enterprises in some countries feel red-eyed.

The Taliban government is very trustworthy, and since it has agreed to the exclusive right of exploration and development of mineral resources for the mercenary corps, it will no longer allow other companies to settle in, whether it is the United States or the United Kingdom, and they will all stand aside, which has also caused strong dissatisfaction in many countries.

"Since you also said that it was a rumor, then there must be a mistake, besides, I want to say that these words are completely untrue, and you don't believe it, do you?" Wu Chen smiled and said, without refuting her words or admitting anything.

Oil is a real strategic resource, without all kinds of oil derived from oil, whether it is economic construction or national defense construction, will be greatly hindered, all kinds of aircraft need aviation gasoline and aviation kerosene, all kinds of ships need diesel and heavy oil, all kinds of vehicles also need gasoline and diesel, and even paving roads also need asphalt.

Since the reform and opening up, the country's economy has undergone earth-shaking changes, infrastructure construction is advancing rapidly, the demand for oil has increased sharply, the output of domestic oil fields has been insufficient, and a large number of imports from abroad have to be imported, so as long as it is a place where oil is produced, it will attract the attention of the state.

"With the rapid development of China's economy, the demand for oil is increasing, and the amount of our country's own production is far from keeping up with consumption, of course, we also need to have a certain amount of crude oil reserves. Therefore, the country wants its oil companies to go out and actively participate in the oil exploration and development of various countries, but the threshold of these countries is not low, and there are European and American companies secretly exerting resistance, and the government needs your help. Lin Qingyi said.

"The crude oil and natural gas extracted by Atlantis Mineral Resources are sold to China at market prices, and currently include Angola and Algeria, as well as part of the production of the Gulf countries. In addition, I can promise that if Huaxia Petroleum Company gets the right to exploit it, wherever there are mercenary corps, their interests will not be lost. Wu Chen also replied solemnly.

"Several mega oil companies in China hope to go to Afghanistan to participate in oil development, which is the absolute control of the mercenary corps, and there is no problem in terms of security, and whether they can have the qualifications for exploration and exploitation is just one of your attitudes. Of course, the government will not let you pay in vain, it can be divided into three years, selling 100,000 tons of titanium alloy materials to mercenaries at a low price, and selling 50,000 tons of rare earths per year at a low price, with a term of ten years. ”

"The strategic plan you submitted to the top has been highly affirmed by the leaders, starting from the second half of this year, rare earths will be used as strategic materials to be reserved, reduce the number of domestic mining, crack down on the mining and smuggling of rare earths, the price will increase several times, and there is no accession to the WTO, everything is still in time." Lin Qingyi said.

Involving this kind of economic interests, of course, the Huaxia government cannot let the mercenaries suffer losses, Wu Chen has paid too much for the country, and needs to change his strategy. It is well known that the fighters of the mercenary regiment sell well in Europe and South America, and the indispensable and important materials for the manufacture of aircraft are titanium alloys and rare earths.

Titanium alloy is a necessary raw material for aircraft, not only light weight but also toughness and hardness are better than other alloys, especially the fifth generation fighter, more than 70% of which are made of titanium alloy, which is also an important reason why an aircraft is hundreds of millions of dollars or hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn, since the output is in short supply, the market price is naturally high.

As for rare earths, Wu Chen has always suggested that the Chinese top management control the mining of rare earths, which are really strategic minerals, especially high-end weapons and equipment, such as missiles, aircraft and tank alloys, such as electronics, lasers, nuclear industry and superconductivity, are essential ingredients.

In fact, countries such as Europe and the United States and Japan do not urgently need rare earth minerals, especially the United States, which has more than 10 million tons of reserves, and also imports from various countries, and the overall consumption of the world remains at 12 to 130,000 tons a year.

Those countries are hoarding rare earths in order to wait until China's rare earths are in short supply in the future, and they must be imported from outside, so that they can sell their rare earths to Huaxia at a high price.

The mercenary corps promised to buy a large number of rare earths in Huaxia at no lower than the market price, which not only protected this resource, but also did not reduce foreign exchange earnings, and the Huaxia government was naturally happy to provide rare earths to the mercenary corps, after all, we are neighbors, and there will be many more when we cooperate in the future.
