Chapter 374: Capture the Port of Dakhla!
Chapter 374: Capture the Port of Dakhla!
After a few simple greetings, Child Oscar said: "I know that Mr. Sean likes to talk about things simply, then I will say it directly." ”
Sean gestured with his hand raised.
"Meisheng wants to work with Mr. Sean." Child Oscar stared into Sean's eyes and said word by word.
Sean raised his eyebrows and tilted his head to look at Childe Oscar, "I'm not mistaken, Meisheng is a shareholder of McPherson Mining Company, we should be in competition, right?" ”
"There's nothing wrong with that, isn't business just about competition and cooperation, within the same industry, it's completely unavoidable, and it doesn't affect anything." Child Oscar said with a smile.
"I don't think there's any need to work with Meisheng." Sean looked very arrogant at the moment.
Child Oscar didn't care, smiling as always.
A capitalist is like this, as long as there are interests, as long as you have strength, he will make you feel the warmth of what it means to be comradely.
"To introduce myself, Mason is the No. 1 phosphate ore supplier and the third-largest fertilizer producer in the United States, and currently, we have operations in 8 countries, Mr. Sean wants to enter the phosphate industry, and we welcome Mason to do so." Child Oscar introduced with a smile.
Sean pouted secretly, you don't want to delay Lao Tzu to enter this industry, but the name of the largest phosphate ore supplier in the United States is still quite bluffing.
"In half a year, at most a year, the largest supplier of phosphate ore in the United States will become my West African mining company." Sean looked at Child Oscar with burning eyes, business is business.
The corners of Childe Oscar's mouth twitched, knowing that Sean had a tough personality and was arrogant, but he still felt angry when he was really face-to-face, too crazy!
If you are strong, you can do whatever you want!
But he couldn't refute it yet, it was precisely because he knew that Sean, a big crocodile, would inevitably turn the world upside down after rushing into the phosphate industry, and it would inevitably lead to a major reshuffle in the industry, so Meisheng Company had to come up.
"Of course, of course, no one doubts Mr. Sean's strength, never did, but why don't we make the process a little simpler and easier." Childe Oscar complimented with a smile.
"From ore mining to fertilizer production to sales, Meisheng has a complete industrial chain and resources, which can make Mr. Sean much easier and have more time to enjoy life."
"Tsk, I like the word enjoying life." The corners of Sean's mouth slowly curled, "Okay, tell me about your plans." ”
"How about starting with McPherson Mining?" Child Oscar said with a smile: "McPherson is a French listed company, and the news of Mr. Sean's visit caused the company's stock to start to fluctuate, so it is a good time to enter the market. ”
Fack!
Sean sat up straight, his eyes fixed on Child Oscar for a moment, raised his hand and tapped lightly, fuck, these guys are so sinister.
These guys want to take advantage of the opportunity to short their own stocks!
If nothing else, the gang will also use their follow-up actions to knock the stock to the brink of delisting, and then use their status as an American to negotiate a takeover and take ownership of McPherson Mining at a very low price.
In this way, Sean has the approval of the Western Sahara Front for development, they get the mining license of the Moroccan method, and the two sides cooperate, so that no matter how the situation in the Western Sahara region develops, the value of Meisheng's investment can be preserved.
No, if the financial markets are manipulated, they can make a fucking profit!
This abacus is crackling!
The most important thing is that these guys are very clear-headed, and they know how to pull themselves on the boat to prevent themselves from getting angry and flipping the table after knowing afterwards.
"It's a beautiful trick, I like it, but don't use it on me, if you don't want to be hit into a meatloaf by a drunk truck driver." Sean said with a smile.
Childe Oscar's expression stiffened on his face, his skin and flesh kept trembling, and for a while, he forced out an ugly smile, "When, of course." ”
It was the first time he was threatened in person, but he didn't dare to refute it, because Sean had the strength to do all this.
"How much do you have a stake in McPherson Mine?" As if it wasn't himself who had just threatened people, Sean asked with a smile.
“35%。”
"I'll only leave you 10%, no more, how much does this operation cost, I will call you, and someone will follow your team to watch." Sean said expressionlessly: "Believe me, it's not that I don't believe you, it's for everyone's good." ”
"Oh my God, 10% is too little, this ......"
Child Oscar waved his arms excitedly, and wanted to say something but was interrupted by Sean waving his hand, "Without you, I can get 100% ownership of the Bukhara mine, Western Sahara is a disputed territory, a land outside the law, the Moroccans can't stop me, in 5 days, my fleet will arrive in Western Sahara, a missile destroyer formation, an army of 2,000 people!" ”
"Of course, I'm a kind-hearted person, so I'm willing to give Moroccans a reason to get by."
As soon as he heard that Sean's fleet was about to arrive, Sylde Oscar immediately shut up.
There's no way, Sean is going to push flat, in the face of absolute power, everything he says is fake.
"I'll give Mr. Sean an an answer as soon as I can." Child Oscar stood up and said, "Don't waste Mr. Sean's time." ”
"Okay, I'll send you." Sean changed his previous coldness, got up with a smile and said.
Walking out of Sean's villa area, on the way back to the main island of Canaria, Child Oscar's face was a little gloomy, and things were going in the direction they least wanted to see.
Yesterday, before coming to Spain, there was an internal meeting of the Meisheng company, and the directors discussed Sean's sudden intervention in phosphate mining.
Suddenly, one of the directors came up with a question, could the death of Hassan II be ...... The atmosphere was very depressing!
No one dared to open their mouths.
In the end, it was the chairman who brought the conversation over.
It's not that there is any evidence, but mainly because of the different angles from which the problem is viewed.
The Americans were looking at the situation from the perspective of the ultimate profiteers of the phosphate mines, and Hassan's death took a turn for the worse, making it several levels less difficult for Sean to win the mining rights of the Hisa.
Although there is a sequence of incidents, from the perspective of interests, Sean is suspicious, and it is not small.
Of course, from the point of view of the Moroccans and the state, the murderer is undoubtedly Western Sahara.
Compared with the global market of only about 50 billion yuan per year for phosphate mining, the strategic change in the strategic situation of the two countries is amazing!
It is no longer possible to distinguish by profit alone.
If you look at the problem from different angles, you will get different results.
Child Oscar kept looking out the window at the sea, a yacht quickly passed not far away, and for some reason, Child turned his head and stared at the yacht.
……
Not long after Childe Oscar left, ADM's Belloc Tonny went to the island where Sean was.
Getting off the yacht, Belloc Tonny stood on land and sighed heavily, he really didn't expect that he would find Sean so quickly on the pole again.
Damn!
Hell knows how quickly the situation has changed, how long has it been since he first found Sean to talk about the phosphate mine!
As soon as Sean left the United States, Belloc Tonny flew directly to Southeast Asia, and he didn't bother to think about the partnership to open a fertilizer factory.
The main thing is that the prospects depicted by Sean are too broad!
But within two days of arriving in Southeast Asia, he heard that the fleet with the umbrella stationed here had set sail, and the entire fleet had set sail, in the direction of the Indian Ocean.
Across the Indian Ocean is the Gulf of Aden, and across the Suez Canal is the Mediterranean Sea......
He couldn't help but think about it too much.
Soon, another, even more explosive news came, Hassan II had been assassinated!
Specially, sooner rather than later, late!
They don't care about the bullshit Moroccan situation, who will succeed the king or the Western Sahara War, ADM only sees Sean's chance coming.
When he saw Belloc Tony, Sean came up and said, "Why is ADM ready to accept my shares?" ”
Belloc Tony looked constipated, but before he could say anything, Sean said again, "Do you know the details of Meisheng Company?" ”
Belloc Tony stood up suddenly, "Misheng is looking for you?" ”
Sean smiled and nodded.
"Damn it!" Belloc Tony gritted his teeth suddenly, his face was ugly, and Sean was very happy to see this expression.
After a long time, Belloc Tony said with a gloomy face: "There are shares of Cargill behind Meisheng Company. ”
Ha, Sean was suddenly happy, and it was really the whole industry chain, from ore mining to sales.
He suddenly entered the phosphate mining market, and several major grain merchants should not be able to sit still.
"What are you looking for me?"
"The business of Southeast Asia."
"In this way, I don't want to mention the ADM shareholding, we can set up a company in Southeast Asia first, I want 45% of the shares, rest assured, I am not interested in becoming a major shareholder." Sean laughed.
"You have too much appetite!" Belloc Tonny's chest heaved and heaved, and it was 45% up, and it was impossible!
Spread out business in Southeast Asia, don't Southeast Asians need to be wooed?!
"Alright, alright, don't rush!" Sean smiled and waved his hand, "You can stay here for a while longer, things in Southeast Asia are not in a hurry, you want to see the development of things here!" ”
"Good!!" Belloc Towney gritted his teeth and agreed, knowing that Sean was showing his means to ADM.
……
Morocco.
Muhammad VI did not compete with his uncle Mulay Sidi bin Yusuf in the end, the situation is stronger than people, the Western Sahara People's Front has become more and more active in the past few days, the attacks have not stopped, it is nothing more than big and small, the harassment has been constant, and the pressure on the sand embankment defense line is huge.
Although the sand bank limited the range of activity of the Western Sahara FP, it also tied the hands and feet of the Moroccans, making it difficult to fight back.
Of course, the main situation is that the point of counterattack is not to be found.
Outside the sand bank is barren, only the Gobi Desert and the desert, and nothing of value can be found, except for the sand rats that come out from time to time!
Morocco has once again increased its forces into Western Sahara, which has increased to 80,000 troops, more than half of Morocco's total strength.
At the same time that Morocco was increasing its forces in Western Sahara, the parachute fleet also crossed the Strait of Gibraltar and reached the Atlantic.
At the same time, a fleet of troop carriers, landing ships, and supply ships from the Caribbean Sea also arrived in this area at the same time.
……
Dakhla, a port city in southern Western Sahara on a long and narrow peninsula bordering the Atlantic Ocean, has a population of 21,000 and can be used to moor sea vessels in the western harbor.
Founded in 1884, it was the first permanent settlement established by Spain on the coast of West Africa, and the population of the city increased rapidly because of the abundant springs nearby, which attracted the surrounding herders to settle here.
The port has fishing, ship repair, fish processing, steamers plying between Spain's Canary Islands, and a small airport that is an important stop on the route between Europe and South America.
It is currently under the control of the Moroccans.
At dusk, the sky is orange, and there is a military camp near the traffic artery not 30 kilometers north of the loess-colored city.
Recently, the situation has been tense, and the military camp is also full of slaughter.
Suddenly, a sharp and piercing whistling sound sounded, followed by a 'boom' explosion, and smoke and dust rose violently in the barracks.
As the first shell hit the ground, the sound of "boom", "boom", "boom" and "boom" sounded without stopping, and the barracks were in chaos, and the piercing sirens sounded.
In the distance, a large area of yellow sand rose up, like a long dragon, rushing horizontally in the direction of the barracks, which was the smoke and dust brought up by hundreds of vehicles that ignored the rushing approach, and the Western Sahara Force, which was originally active in the sand embankment defense line, suddenly appeared in the southern region on a large scale.
There are more than 100 vehicles, there are all kinds of vehicles, there are Soviet-style tanks, there are Soviet-style armored vehicles, and more are Jeep or Toyota pickups.
The response of the Moroccan military camp was also very fast, under the artillery fire, a large number of Moroccan soldiers entered the fortifications that had been arranged in the barracks long ago, tanks and armored vehicles were also activated, first sporadic artillery fire, and within a few minutes, the Moroccan artillery fire was also slightly denser, and began to return fire towards the place where the smoke and dust rose.
The war in the Sahara Desert is as rough as this desert, with no cover, no highland scramble, and a firefight is a desperate output close to the face.
The artillery of the Western Sahara Front was still too small, and the density of the shelling was far from enough, and as soon as the return fire began, some unlucky vehicles were blown over on the way to the charge, and the vehicles rolled and flew out more than ten meters.
As soon as the charging West Sahara convoy was shelled, it immediately looked like a destroyed ant's nest, seemingly chaotic, but scattered with a certain regularity.
As soon as the jeep and pickup truck stepped on the accelerator to the end, the wheels lifted the yellow sand and rushed towards the Moroccan position in a scattered formation.
The convoy of charging troops dispersed, and the success rate of the already low artillery bombardment was even lower, and the two sides obviously expected this situation, and soon, the sound of rapid-fire guns at the base of the Moroccan army sounded, "knock", "knock", "knock", and the rapid-fire guns aimed at the convoy rushing in front and began to strafe.
The weapons are really backward, they are all at the level of World War II, but there is no danger to defend here, the casualty rate is much higher than any battlefield, and from time to time there are charging vehicles that are swept by shells.
What pickups, what jeeps, were swept away by small-caliber rapid-fire guns, but the vehicles of the Western Sahara Front seemed to be unaware, and when they stepped on the accelerator to the end, they were rushing.
Of course, it's not that they don't do nothing, they rush diagonally, they are all old opponents who have fought on this land I don't know how many times, who doesn't know whom.
The distance between the two sides is not far in the end, only 10 kilometers, on an empty desert, and soon the jeeps and pickup trucks that rushed in front approached the position of the Moroccan army, several pickup trucks crossed over, the body was welded with brackets, the sound of heavy machine guns sounded, and began to pour fire towards the position of the Moroccan army.
Suddenly, there was a short break in the firepower of the Moroccan position.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, without waiting for the vehicle to stop, the pickup truck, the Jeep with the people of the Western Sahara Front jumped down directly, rolled in the yellow sand a few times to shed the impact and then got up, and the 60 mortars in his arms 'clicked' on the sand.
There were soldiers who specially guarded the ammunition bag on their chests and rushed over and stuffed the shells directly into it.
Protection?
Inexistent!
Whoever is swept to death is unlucky!
Aim?
Not needed!
Such a big base, just boom!
The sound of "unification," "reunification," "reunification," and "reunification" sounded, and a dense stream of mortar shells whizzed toward the camp of the Moroccan army, followed by the sound of explosions of "boom", "boom", "boom", "boom", "boom".
More than 40 cars rushed up alive, and 200 people jumped out of the small number, and those empty cars began to run around on the front line of the Moroccan army, trying to attract firepower!
More than 80 mortars fired one after another, pouring fire on the Moroccan camp with their eyes closed.
The first round of more than 80 shells fell on a radius of 1 million square meters, which is really not much, but at the beginning of the second round, most of the shells with slightly adjusted angles were concentrated near the front line, and the effect came out at once!
The firepower of the Moroccan army instantly weakened again by a notch!
Regardless of the cost, not as long as the loss, either the shells on the body were empty, or they were swept to pieces by the machine guns of the Moroccan army.
The intensive shelling lasted less than a minute, there was no way, in order to pursue speed, those who jumped out of the car could carry limited ammunition, not to mention that the shells were only the size of mineral water bottles, about 3 catties, but they could only carry a dozen.
But thousands of shells smashed over, and the unprepared Moroccan army camp was still stunned.
This bought the most precious time for the troops who rushed forward.
The second group rushed up with only 8 vehicles, and under the cover of mortars, they rushed directly to a distance of 200 meters before braking suddenly.
Hulala jumped down 20 people, then found a small dirt slope, crouched down and began to aim, and the people following behind him began to quickly reload.
This group is all carrying RPGs, and their purpose is to take advantage of the enemy's weak firepower to destroy the enemy's fortifications at close range.
For example, rapid-fire guns, such as machine guns, such as armored vehicles, such as tank cars.
"Whoosh" "Boom! ”
"Whoosh" "Boom! ”
"Whoosh" "Boom! ”
After artillery fire, heavy machine gun fire, and intensive mortar bombardment, this wave of targeted killings was extremely effective!
In just one minute, the return fire of the Moroccan army was almost invisible, only the roar of the three tanks standing on the battle line, but for the small target of two people and three people, it was really a cannon to hit mosquitoes.
The entire front of the Moroccan base was in shambles, and the fortifications made of sand and earth were almost destroyed.
The weapons in the hands of the PFLP soldiers were empty, and they didn't run far, so they just found a sand pit and threw themselves on the ground, and it would be wrong to say that there was no cover in the desert.
Even if it is the Gobi Desert, small ups and downs are everywhere, twenty or thirty centimeters, all you can do is honestly find a slightly low-lying place to lie down.
All that's left is to pray!
Or are the desert people religious......
It's not unreasonable for people to be pious, whether they will be killed by bullets or not, it's really pure God!
A tactic that Cesar had never used, a real wave, poured out most of the firepower in a matter of minutes.
Of course, the effect is also outstanding, and the fastest reaction to rush to the front line after the Moroccan army encounters a sudden blow is the elite.
Moreover, there was a serious shortage of personnel, the command system was chaotic, and there was not enough time, and the front-line defense system could not be fully activated, and the designed defense capability was not even half brought into play before it suffered the most violent blows, which completely paralyzed the forward positions that had been painstakingly laid out without much effect.
This paralysis did not matter, the tanks and armoured vehicles of the Western Sahara Front finally rushed up.
Tank car against tank car, steering, traversing, bombing, Soviet-American, are all obsolete products, and they are also fighting vigorously, and those soldiers lying on their stomachs on the battlefield can't care about anything else at all, just run away!
Even the armored vehicles did not dare to approach within a few hundred meters, and rushed directly through the Moroccan defense line in a half-circle.
Heavy machine guns on armored vehicles burst out and strafed around the camp.
Not everyone bypassed the tank battlefield, two pickup trucks with yellow paint walked at the back of everyone's ranks, and when the tanks of the two sides began to fight, the two pickup trucks were still more than 200 meters apart.
The roof of the pickup truck is fixed with a cylinder of more than 20 centimeters, on which is a 1067 mm barrel.
Tao anti-tank missile Type 1!
Equipped with the U.S. military in 1981, the probability of hitting a fixed target is about 90% at 500 to 3750 meters, 100% within 500 meters, the shooting accuracy when firing from the ground, the height deviation is ±0.2 meters, the static armor penetration thickness is 600 mm, the dynamic armor penetration thickness is 200 mm / 65 °, and the launch rate is 3 rounds / min.
In the later stages of the Vietnam War, the U.S. Cobra attack helicopters used the Tao 'prototype' to attack Vietnamese tanks, with a success rate of more than 80%.
And now it is the Dow Type 1 that appears on the battlefield!
At present, only YL has a Dow prototype outside the US military, Morocco does not, and other countries do not have either!
This was secretly obtained by Sean, and even the people who used the car were also Sean's.
Without any hesitation, aiming, launching, at a distance of about 500 meters, 'whoosh', the 1164 mm long missile was fired out of the launch tube, and a few seconds later, "Boom!!" ”
The Moroccan tank turret exploded, the fire broke out, and the tank was immediately paralyzed.
'Whoosh' "Boom!" ”
'Whoosh' "Boom!" ”
This old tank simply could not withstand such a close bombardment from Dow, and all three tanks were paralyzed!!
The three tanks of the People's Front did not hesitate and rushed towards the camp of the Moroccan army with a bang.
Cheers rang out from the desert on all sides, all of them were the human soldiers lying on the sand!
The position was broken through, all the heavy weapons were lying on their stomachs, this base is over!
Seeing this situation, the two pickup trucks carrying Dow stopped in place, and they didn't go in to make do with it, and the rest was handed over to the Western Sahara Front troops who were rushing up.
It is said that it is a large army, but in fact, there are not many people, less than a thousand.
There is no way, the Western Sahara People's Front has limited vehicles, the transportation capacity is so large, and the Eastern Front has to make a posture of containment, and this blitzkrieg can be fought to this extent is already the limit.
Fortunately, there are only about 1,500 people in this base in the south, and they were stunned before, but now they have no power to resist, and the rest is to arrest people.
While occupying the base, while collecting the prisoners, they separately separated about 300 men and marched towards Dakhla.
Dakhla is like a tentacle extending from the mainland to the southwest sea, more than 30 kilometers long, and only 4.3 kilometers wide at its widest point.
The entry of 300 soldiers of the Western Sahara Front into the small town of 20,000 people immediately plunged the city into a brief period of chaos, with 7 percent of the city's inhabitants coming from Morocco and 3 percent of the nomads from Western Sahara who had settled there.
In the final analysis, whether it is Morocco or Western Sahara, they are both Berbers, and there is really no difference in culture, religion, language, and living habits.
At this point, I have to say that Taizu, in terms of the control of people's hearts and the grasp of the word 'unity', throughout the thousands of years of history in the world, it is also the first!
No one has ever been able to peacefully unite multiple ethnic groups into one nation without using religion as a weapon!
To get back to the point, the chaos ended quickly, not because of the quality and discipline of the soldiers of the Western Sahara Front, but because the task was tight this time, and law and order must be maintained.
These are the most elite soldiers of Western Sahara.
More than an hour passed, and at this moment it was already dark, and the dock was brightly lit, and it was the brightest place in the whole city.
In the distance, a whistle sounded, but no ship entered the dock.
There was a sound of propellers, and three helicopter gunships flew over the dock and began to circle.
On the ground, the men of the Western Sahara Front immediately signaled.
After confirming local security, a warship sailed into the port.
All the weapons on the battleship were in a state of readiness, and as soon as the dock was stopped, a group of American GIs, a small 200 men, rushed down and quickly took over the security of the entire port.
And at this moment, helicopters in the sky entered the interior of the city and began to patrol.
After the second confirmation of safety, a large number of warships appeared near the dock.
Transport ships, landing ships, clattering tracks against the ground, first 10 tanks disembarked from the ship, followed by armored vehicles, personnel carriers, radar vehicles, command vehicles, missile vehicles, transporters......
The Umbrella Army has officially landed on the African continent!
Looking at these advanced weapons, Salem Ould Lesa's lips began to tremble, and he couldn't help but curse a few words in his heart, envy, jealousy and hatred!
Later, when the more than 17-meter-long East 1 was pulled off the transport ship by a towing vehicle, Salem Ould Lesa still couldn't help but scold, this is fucking called private arming!?
Shit!!
……
Ahem, it's the middle of the month, is the reader dad a reward for a little monthly pass!
In addition, there have been a lot of posthumous drops recently......
It's not because of the slow update of fireworks, right?
Definitely not!
