Chapter 657: Suspicious

When Wang Dong and Luo Qing arrived at the conference room, everyone else had already arrived, and Yunlong was distributing materials.

It is said to be a conference room, but in fact, it is more like a flattened IMAX movie theater, with an area of thousands of square meters and occupying half a floor.

In addition, the interior has been carefully designed to have the acoustics of an opera house.

What does it mean?

No matter where you stand, you don't need to shout, you can be heard by everyone sitting in the room if you speak as you normally would.

The meeting was initiated by Yunlong, and all the senior personnel of D&F and "Angu" came to the meeting.

Without major events, Yunlong will not initiate an all-hands high-level meeting.

So, what's the big deal?

Yunlong didn't say it, and even Wang Dong didn't know.

"This is information that I only got three days ago, let's take a look at it first." Yunlong nodded at Wang Dong, and after Wang Dong and Luo Qing sat down, he said, "According to the current progress, as soon as one month, at the latest three months, South Africa will be able to complete the military deployment before the attack." ”

Yunlong provided some photos, mostly from reconnaissance satellites, or some taken on the ground.

South Africa?

Wang Dong frowned.

Why?

Just last month, a South African exploration team was ambushed in northern Namibia, killing more than a dozen mercenaries in charge of security and kidnapping all the others who were engaged in the exploration, before a rebel force active in southern Angola claimed responsibility.

Although the Angolan authorities immediately clarified the relationship and said that they would do their utmost to rescue the abductees, the South African authorities apparently did not appreciate it and held that the main responsibility rested with the Angolan authorities, namely that the rebel was in fact instructed by the Angolan authorities.

In addition, there is not much patience on the part of the South African authorities.

A week later, South Africa sent a special force into Angola to try to rescue the kidnappers.

In fact, it was not a special forces, but a mercenary army, and the commander was a retired South African military officer who received support from the South African authorities in terms of intelligence.

Unfortunately, the rescue operation ended in failure.

All 20 mercenaries were killed in an ambush shortly after entering Angola, and the ambushers posted a video of the execution of the mercenaries online.

Subsequently, Angolan rebels executed five hostages as a warning to the South African government.

At this point, the situation has gotten out of control.

Although the Angolan authorities immediately increased their troops in the southern region and fought with the rebels near Luban, the South African authorities still claimed that the Angolan government was responsible for the work and demanded that the Angolan government immediately withdraw its troops from the southern region and that South Africa should deal with the local rebels.

A few days later, South Africa sent fighter jets to bomb Luban.

At this time, there was a lot of uproar.

It's just that no one knows exactly what the cause is.

The point is, why did the South African authorities go to such a big fight?

You know, decades ago, South Africa suffered in Angola.

In addition, South Africa is no longer a regional hegemon.

Going to Angola for a fight?

Although Namibia has always been a vassal of South Africa and has to rely on South Africa in all aspects, with South Africa's national strength, it will certainly not gain much to go abroad to fight Angola, which is not too weak, and may suffer another heavy defeat.

So, what is the reason for the South African authorities to bite the bullet?

In fact, before that, Wang Dong only paid attention to this matter, but did not put much thought into it.

Why?

That place is too far away, and the "Angu" company has no business there, and it does not plan to open up the market there in the near future.

Quite simply, South Africa is a paradise for mercenaries.

Arguably, the last thing that is lacking in South Africa is mercenaries.

Although D&F has some business in Angola, such as selling tens of thousands of DF762 rifles to Angola, and selling dozens of second-hand JF-17 fighter jets, and has recently discussed with the Angolan authorities about selling tanks, the business volume is not very large, and it has not made much money.

How much profit can you make as a second-hand dealer?

What's more, Angola is already poor.

Although it is the largest oil producer in Southern Africa, only Nigeria in terms of oil production, Angola is not rich at all and has little market.

Among other things, the Angolan authorities approached D&F to buy DF762 rifles, which were only used to arm elite troops, while the Defence Forces still use old rifles such as the G3.

So, why should Yunlong care about this?

"Look at the last few photos."

Wang Dong glanced at Yunlong and pulled out the last few photos, it was an open-pit mine, but judging from the photos, it seemed to have been abandoned a long time ago.

"This is the largest rare earth mine in Angola, just off Onjiwa in the south, next to Namibia. Of course, it has been mined in the last century. ”

"For a mine that has been dug up?" Luo Qing asked.

"For what, I don't know. What is certain, however, is that the South African exploration team was ambushed shortly after leaving here and returning to Namibia. What's more, among those people, there are a few Americans. ”

"Americans?"

"One last photo."

Wang Dong flipped out the last photo.

It was a concentration camp, but it looked like a village, with a few armed men, one of whom was unarmed.

The resolution of the photo is so high that it is possible to identify the person's face.

"It was taken by an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, and the camp is just north of Onjiva. The person circled was an American intelligence officer. It was through him that we decided that the CIA was involved, and perhaps other intelligence agencies such as the NSA. ”

"Where is the United States going to change what?"

"Obviously, that's what we're trying to figure out."

Wang Dong frowned and said, "If it's just this matter, there's no need to make such a big move, right?" ”

"So why is South Africa going to the big fight? Just a few days ago, the United States presidential envoy went to South Africa, and South Africa began to increase its troops in northern Namibia. In addition, a freighter carrying hundreds of heavy tanks and hundreds of self-propelled guns will leave the Norfolk military port within three days, and the destination is Cape Town. It is very obvious that South Africa is doing things there precisely because of the support of the United States. ”

"And then?"

"If necessary, we will have to go to Angola."

Wang Dong's brows jumped a few times, and Yunlong's words were serious.

"Of course, only if. We first have to find out what is really going on over there, and then we have to wait for an invitation from the Angolan authorities. ”

"When are you leaving?" Luo Qing asked directly, appearing more active than anyone else.

Why?

She has lived in Saudi Arabia for a few years, and she has long been tired of it, in her words, she has gained more than ten pounds, and she can't get married if she doesn't exercise.
