Kalimantan, later known as Borneo, is known as the world's third largest island, rich in mineral resources and surrounded by industrial prime oil.

These minerals are not unfamiliar to most people, especially the later Brunei Darussalam, which was founded on oil and became one of the richest countries in East Asia in one fell swoop, and this news has been reported in major domestic media.

However, at this time, although the oil is very good, it is in the sea after all, and it is extremely difficult to exploit, and the current technology is not enough to support this mining idea, so the steps are slow, step by step.

The necessity of the steam age cannot be escaped through this hurdle, and this is also to lay the foundation for the development of future generations on this basis.

The plan for Kalimantan proposed by Blackwater shareholder Tang Wei was approved by the majority of the people, and a mining company was formed.

With a registered capital of more than 1.6 million, United Minerals is by far the largest mining company in Australia, and it has caused a lot of sensation since the day it was registered.

Everyone thinks that this will be a major earthquake for domestic mining companies, and it will definitely cause a new competition for mining companies. After all, one of the two largest mining companies in China is with a state-owned group, which occupies a natural advantage, and the other is founded by An Lanshuo, who is known as a geographical maniac.

In terms of overall strength, the two are evenly matched, regardless of victory or defeat, and the newly created United Mining also has its strength, that is, it has abundant funds. It can be seen from the registered capital.

But then something even more surprising happened, at the press conference held by United Mining Company, the shareholders present included Anlan. Could it be that Anlan deliberately did it in order to suppress competitors?

It wasn't until Tang Wei announced that the main development direction of United Mining was overseas, that everyone woke up, and when they heard about Kalimantan, many people didn't know where it was, but then they understood it with the word Borneo.

It's rich in oil, timber and coal, and it's the third largest island in the world, so it's well worth the risk.

Coal. To coal, there is coal, the largest coal in Southeast Asia. Thinking of the use of steam engines, the consumption of coal continues to rise, and everyone only focuses on a few small coal factories in China, and has not yet noticed foreign countries.

Blackwater has long fought in Southeast Asia. It must have been something that had already been done to form this mining company. However, this place is said to be very complicated, and it is very difficult to mine here, and it really can't be without a company like Blackwater.

It's no wonder that these guys have remained silent about Blackwater's attack, apparently having reached some kind of agreement. In the face of such a situation, many people can only sigh that they are too young or don't know how to see the direction of the wind, and they used to be stupid to charge into battle to limit the expansion of Blackwater, but now it seems that they are not only young but also a little too stupid.

A joint mining company that has completed its registered capital. Shareholders, including a number of high-ranking government officials, know that contracts have been signed for cooperation with Spanish people. And after the cooperation with the Dutch will also go smoothly, the first operation of the United Mining began.

Before the operation, Blackwater had already delivered the necessary supplies to the port set up by the Dutch here, and two hundred armed Blackwater soldiers also landed with them. Their goal was to establish an area under their control on Kaliman, which was established in the territory of the Kingdom of Landak, and according to the survey, the coal mine was stored in their territory.

At the same time, Landak is currently the weakest country, of course, you have to jump soft persimmon pinch, saying that it is a kingdom, in fact, the army may add up to less than two thousand people, but in this kind of country with all the names of soldiers, it is very thoughtful for Blackwater to send two hundred soldiers.

At least the 200 soldiers were veterans of jungle warfare, and the weapons and ammunition they carried were also very sufficient, in addition to the ten coffee mill machine guns, they were also equipped with 26-pounder light iron cannons for the first time.

These two super weapons alone can cause a rubbing of hands on the other side for a short time, according to intelligence, there have been constant frictions on the border in Landak Sukadana recently, and there are exchanges of fire from time to time, so it is the best time for Operation Blackwater.

In order to make the operation go more smoothly, Blackwater sent a squad of soldiers to lurk on the border between the two countries, deliberately creating a number of bloody conflicts, so that both sides put most of their forces on the border, and South Carolimantan, which Blackwater was going to attack, could be said to have little to resist at this time.

The increasing fighting on the border between the two countries and the increasing number of troops also gave the Dutch an opportunity, and they had already begun to act a week earlier, launching a military operation against Landak, at this time Landak was also extremely sad, and in addition to being attacked by the enemy on both sides, they had to deal with the attack of Blackwater.

"Sir, everything is ready, in front of us is a small village of the Landaks, the number of people is about six hundred, we can divide the left and right, and attack forward in three directions, so as to capture the captives to the maximum."

The Blackwater soldier in charge of the reconnaissance, like Masaha Oshima, who was in charge of the attack, reported that from his analysis, it should have been carefully investigated, and the reason why he did not use heavy weapons such as artillery first, was because the company had already issued an order to need these prisoners for future mining purposes.

"Very good, Zhou Yu, the analysis is good, I see that there should be no problem for you to promote my chief of staff after this battle." Masakuma Oshima spoke fluent Mandarin to the soldier who had returned to report.

After saying the words of praise, Oshima Masaka then started the infantry according to Zhou Yu's analysis, "You, you attack from the left. ”

At this time, the village of the Landaks was still living and cooking, and they did not know that danger was coming towards them, and the big island, which was in charge of the frontal attack, fired the first shot, hitting a Landak who was living in front of the wooden building.

Immediately after more gunshots, the entire Landak village was already caught off guard, and before the village elders could tell how to resist, everyone had fled to both sides, and at this time, the personnel in charge of ambushing on both sides began to launch their own attacks, using ropes and other stumbling weapons, tripping the panicked Landaks, and then tying them up firmly.

The battle only lasted an hour, and Blackwater completely occupied the village of Landak, and almost all of the population of the entire village was captured, except for those killed, basically all of them became prisoners of war in Blackwater, and Blackwater almost didn't use any weapons and ammunition at this station, but Oshima Masama knew that the next battle would not be so easy to win.
