Chapter 335 - Establish your own national armed forces

While waiting for news, Su Ming called his financial team and legal team over to conduct asset evaluation and statistical work, first of all, there are 33 mines that are still domestically produced in Namibia, of which 18 have detailed exploration reports, all of which are relatively barren mines, including diamond mines, silver mines, copper mines, etc., and the rest are only suspected of having mineral deposits, but they have not undergone specific exploration, or they do not have mining conditions for the time being due to traffic or environmental problems.

Among the eighteen mines, there is also a uranium mine with a relatively large scale, and the others are relatively small, in fact, in the eyes of Su Ming and others, these mines have extremely high mining value, and it can only be said that those American or German companies are used to eating good things, and they are not dry food with bean bags.

Either the reserves are small, or the grade is low, or the burial is deep, there is a large silver mine because it needs to open a 30-kilometer road in the mountain, it was abandoned by the Swedish company that surveyed it, let the Chinese see, what is it to build a road, and do not need to build a highway to the standard, it is a very simple thing.

In fact, this is the biggest difference between China's engineering companies and engineering companies in Europe and the United States, low labor costs, such as this kind of mountain road, can not use large construction machinery at all, can only rely on manpower, European and American companies have to give up, because the labor cost is too high, just the huge amount of subsidies and insurance costs they can not bear, and Chinese companies only need to recruit a group of temporary workers in the country.

And no matter what people do, there is a procedure and standard, such as building a mountain road must meet the standard of car walking, otherwise there will be a hidden danger to safety, and a 30-kilometer mountain road may exceed the value of this mine.

After calculating the fact that these mines have paid off a debt of 340 million US dollars to the Su family, this has made the Namibian people happy and don't know what to do, these things were originally picked up by other companies, and those mines with survey reports Namibia political axe also paid the survey fees, otherwise the report would not have fallen into their hands.

It's not that these mines are owned by the Su family, and they only get the mining rights of the mines, but this period is two hundred years long, and the mining scope of each mine has been expanded, so that even if the veins extend farther, they are within the scope of mining.

Su Ming asked people to translate the information of these mines into Chinese, and then asked Sun Xian to send it to China to see if anyone was willing to come, in any case, the compensation of 200 million US dollars was taken back, and as for how much these things could be sold for, it depended on the domestic side.

Then there is the division of land, Su Ming doesn't want to have too many conflicts with the locals because of this, so he tries to find a sparsely populated place, because Su Ming still wants to get a fishing ground, but he doesn't want to divide his own territory into several pieces, so he wants to draw a place by the sea, but the sea is more densely populated, and finally looked for a long time on the map, only to draw a 350,000 hectares of land near Angola in the north, which is converted to 3,500 square kilometers.

It feels good to draw a territory on the map, and with a slight slide of your fingers, a small lake and a small forest will become self-memorable, the key is that there are no people at all, probably only a few small villages near the seaside, Namibia political axe said that it would move out as soon as possible, Su Ming waved his hand, and made up for your 500,000 US dollars in demolition fees, and the money was deducted from the debt.

Since the land was purchased in perpetuity, although it was a place where birds don't poop, Su Ming still paid $325 million, plus a nearby Crrichton. The ownership of the small port of Purike, because there was no suitable port on Su Ming's territory, had to take the neighboring port, for which Su Ming paid 50 million dollars.

Su Ming didn't think he had paid too much, anyway, he didn't have to take out cash, and if you didn't want it, he couldn't get the money, more than 3,000 square kilometers was the size of two or three counties in China, but it was nothing here, it was just a large piece of desert grassland, not that he couldn't grow grain, but he could only grow drought-tolerant crops such as corn, sorghum, and millet, and he could only grow one season a year.

However, the advantage is that these lands will be Su Ming's in the future, this is a permanent surname, and it is based on the sacred law of the inviolability of private property, as long as Su can protect this land, this land will belong to Su Ming permanently, basically no different from a country within a country, and the agreement signed between Su Ming and Namibia stipulates that as long as Su does not carry out activities to subvert state power and seek reading power in this land, other violations of the law will be dealt with by both parties through consultation.

Stretching from the 200-nautical-mile EEZ to sea level, Namibian fishermen are allowed to enter the area for fishing, but must pay a fee.

In order to solve the problem of conflicts caused by the connection of the fishing grounds of the two sides, each side set aside a five-nautical-mile area to allow the other's fishing boats to cross the border, but after receiving a warning, they must return in time, Su Ming thought about it, as if Namibia has no law enforcement force at sea, and there is no navy, so this provision seems to be redundant at all.

Because Namibia's waters are extremely rich in fishery resources, cod, sardines, lobsters, and crabs are all bestsellers in the international community, and after obtaining ownership for 200 years, Su Ming also needs to pay $260 million to the other party, which is equivalent to deducting $975.5 million in debts, and there are still more than $800 million.

At this time, the Minister of Environment and Tourism stood up and proposed to set up a tourism and development company with Su's to develop wildlife tourism and visit business based on the Etosha Wildlife Park, which covers an area of 23,000 square kilometers and was classified as an animal sanctuary as early as the German colonial period.

In the end, the two sides agreed that Su Shi would obtain the development rights of Africa's largest and once the world's largest wildlife park for 200 years at the cost of 300 US dollars, but the income of the project was 60% for Su's, 20% for Namibia, and the remaining 20% for maintaining the operation of the park, but Namibia also put forward requirements that the development must maintain the existing environment, let animals live freely, and strictly control the number and scale of tourists on the premise of not damaging the original appearance of the park, and Su Ming agreed to it one by one.

Prime Minister Ankewei re-proposed the plan he said last time, and finally after negotiation between the two sides, the remaining $524.5 billion was paid in ten years, Su Ming felt that he wanted so many things from others, although he should give it to himself, but for a long time in the future, he still needs to cooperate with others, just like neighbors, it is better to value harmony, and he can't force people to live because of a little debt, and they also said that they will pay interest according to international standards, so Su Ming happily agreed.

However, after all the agreements were signed, President Nujoma and Prime Minister Angela suddenly asked the others to leave first, and only then made a request to Su Min, hoping that Su would help them stabilize the situation in the country, and they were ready to disband the existing army and investigate all the Ministry of Defense personnel from the Minister of Defense.

Su Ming's eyes couldn't help but widen, what is going on, could it be said that with the Minister of Defense's strength and combat effectiveness, he still dares to overthrow the current regime, Nuqiao President Ma told Su Ming that he didn't have a very good relationship with several major donors in Namibia, the other party had already launched a coup d'état, and the opponent always intervened in other government affairs through the advantage of force to seek his own personal interests, like this incident, Nuqiao President Ma said that it was very likely that the Minister of Defense directed it, and the director of internal affairs he said disappeared three months ago, But as far as President Ma Nujoma knew, that guy didn't have that much energy to direct such a scene.

Nujo President Ma also said that even if things settle down, they are not ready to build an army anymore, and an army of several thousand people will not play a role at all if there is a real war, and there is a lack of navy and air force, and the army alone can only be used as a target for others in modern warfare, and there is only one strong country around Namibia, South Africa, which is the strength of the whole country, and it is not an opponent of others, so it is better to disband the army, save military expenses and hire a strong force to protect the country. As soon as Su Ming heard it, he understood what the other party meant, this was preparing to hand over their country to himself to guard, anyway, now he is also part of this country.

Su Ming asked, an army of several thousand people, a year's military expenditure is more than 600 million yuan, converted into dollars is less than 100 million dollars, this price is not bad, although Namibia's territory is not small, but sparsely populated, and next to Anko's position is also his own customer, and on one side are Zambia and Botswana, which are also two poor and weak countries, basically except for South Africa, there is no opponent.

The two sides sat down again to discuss this defense cooperation agreement, in which Namibia will no longer retain military force except for the Presidential Guard, and the national defense will be entrusted to the Aetna Security Company, at a cost of 10 percent of the annual budget, with additional special war expenses in the event of war.

The agreement is only a draft for the time being, but President Nujoma and Prime Minister Angela are still very happy, as if they have thrown off a big burden, in the face of such a powerful country as South Africa, it is a bit unreasonable not to build an army, but to build an army, not to mention spending too much money, and not to dare to let them develop and grow too much, in the case of Namibia, an army of several thousand people can overthrow the regime.

Su Ming is also very happy, it is a very cost-effective thing for someone to pay for his own arming, and since the Su clan is only a company, it has not been able to justifiably own some large equipment, now it is okay, you can arm yourself unscrupulously.
