Chapter 557: Sean is here
(I returned to Sanya at 11 o'clock last night.,Stayed up until half past 2 in the morning to finish a chapter.,Today's second chapter is a chapter that makes up for the previous debt.,Tomorrow will be updated normally)
Africa's largest oil producer, currently Libya.
However, if we push back in time, the largest in Africa in the future will be Nigeria, Angola and Libya.
Of course, Libya has the advantages of Libya, the oil layer is shallow, the difficulty of exploitation is low, and the cost is low.
The so-called propaganda of oil is only enough to extract for 100 years, and after 100 years there will be no energy available, which is essentially a fallacy.
Oil reserves are never low, even if they are used for hundreds of years, they will not be exhausted, and what really bothers countries is the cost of extraction.
According to the international crude oil price in 91, the average price is 19.33 US dollars per barrel, and many well-known oil wells in later generations cannot be exploited at all, and the cost is higher than the selling price, and it is much higher.
It's not just that it's low now, 17.01 in '93, 15.86 in '94, that's the cold winter of oil companies!
In '96, it just broke the $20 per barrel mark, followed by the Asian financial crisis, and in '98, it was as low as $12.76, returning to the pre-liberation period overnight.
It wasn't until 2000 that it would slow down.
Sean doesn't remember these clearly, after all, he was a seller of fake wine back then, and he didn't care about this thing at all, it was all news.
He just remembered that the 98 financial crisis finally swept the world, and all industries were greatly affected, and the north engaged in a soft landing of the economy and began to deeply develop domestic demand and strongly stimulate the economy.
A way to pull the economy or something... Let's not talk about it.
Anyway, oil is black blood, the economy is pulling, oil consumption has skyrocketed, and oil prices have soared.
He still remembers that at that time, there was news that oil prices soared at every turn, and he was distressed when he added 95 anyway.
Closer to home, there is still a nine-year gap in the oil industry until 2000, and investing in oil is not a good decision in theory.
But in practice, those super large companies began to expand frantically during the trough of the economic downturn, and finally reached the peak.
Like Rockefeller!
When Rockefeller Sr. was hired by the company to investigate the oil industry in Pennsylvania, and the results showed that it was thriving, and a lot of hot money poured in, Rockefeller Sr. thought it was a bit too crazy and turned to deal in agricultural products.
After the climax is the time of the sage, the oil industry plummeted, full of chicken feathers, at this time the old Rockefeller resolutely sold the development of a good agricultural products company, plunged into the stone industry began to make a general acquisition, and finally achieved the pattern of Standard Oil dominating the world.
There are many other examples, and Sean certainly doesn't hesitate when he already knows that the end result will definitely be good.
Don't say nine years, even 9.9 years, he dares to vote!
It's not that there is no money!
Angola.
Sean arrived here without Fenris Hodgson.
A bunch of mining companies or something that deserves to play with oil?
Mining companies, even the largest McMoRan, have a market value of only 10 billion, which is only a small part of Sean's industrial map.
This group of people has made him lose it, the development of South Africa still has to wait for the political situation to change, *** no, instability is a big crisis for others, but for Sean, there is only an opportunity, no danger!
Located in southwest Africa, bordering Congo in the north, Zambia in the east, and the Atlantic Ocean in the west, it is one of the earliest colonies in Africa, with a current population of 12 million and a GDP of 11.2 billion US dollars in 90 years.
In 1951, Portugal turned Angola into an overseas province and wanted to carry out a strategy of indigenization, sending a governor to rule.
In '58, the People's Liberation Movement of Angola, also known as the 'SPLM', emerged and began armed struggle on February 4, 61.
In 62, the Front for the People's Liberation of Angola (FPLA) appeared in the south of Nuevo Lisbon, where Jonas Savimbi appeared.
say
It was the liberation organization that was really elevated, just two warlords supported by different financiers, who were not in harmony with each other, and who were fighting each other.
Why is it said that it is supported by the owner?
Nonsense, Angola, the least developed country in the world, where can not even make a special kitchen knife, where is the money to buy arms and engage in struggle!
This is different from the north, even in the most backward era, the industrial base is much more complete and powerful than the vast majority of countries in the world!
Didn't the colonial period occupy the north as it did with Ah San and the countries of Southeast Asia?
The Battle of Langfang began on June 10, 1900, and continued to increase troops after the capture of Yanjing on August 14, and sent troops from Beijing and Tianjin to attack and plunder in four directions, controlling the key passes around Beijing and Tianjin from Zhengding in the south, Zhangjkou in the north, Shanh Customs in the east, and Niang Zguan in the west.
It's all fought to this extent, why don't you take it?
Were the Western colonizers kind-hearted?
No!
I can't beat it
I won't go into detail about the antecedents of the war, interested friends will check it out by themselves, to the effect that the Qing court is in civil strife, even the Manchurians, and the royal family itself are divided into two factions, and the old witch is in danger so she wants to drive the tiger and devour the wolf.
In the Battle of Langfang, the Eight-Nation Coalition suffered 394 casualties and was forced to retreat.
After the Battle of Dagukou, 6 warships were sunk and more than 200 people were killed or wounded.
Captured Tianjwei, and more than 900 people were killed and wounded.
After more than 16,000 allied troops killed Yanjing, 635 people were killed and wounded, and in October, 30,000 German reinforcements arrived in Beijing, and suffered heavy losses in the areas of Bao D, Zhang J Jiakou, J Cheng, and Niang Z Pass.
This is caused by the old witch desperately pulling her hind legs.
Thanks to the well-developed transportation network in Beijing and Tianjin, once this range is exceeded, they all have to get in.
This is already the maximum logistics support of the Eight-Nation Alliance, if it is replaced by a single country and an expedition of tens of thousands of miles across the sea, don't even think about it, there has never been such a big loss in Afghanistan and South Asia.
This is the fundamental reason why they only engage in concessions and do not want to colonize on a large scale.
Ahem, off topic again, back to Angola.
The big financier behind the SPLM is Lao Maozi, and it is Cuba that actually contributes.
The big financier behind the SPLF is the United States, and it is South Africa that actually contributes.
The two sides fought inwardly and tossed the grapes at the same time.
The FLN was defeated and disbanded, and Jonas Savimbi created UNITA in March '66 and became its chairman.
You can imagine that the two black strong men attacked back and forth, the process was extremely rough, and the TV didn't let it be written, and little Portugal shouted and poured out.
Although Portugal's whole person was paralyzed like a puddle of mud, it was not without means, and at the last moment, he controlled and let the An People's Movement inject things into his body and crawl away.
The SPLF and UNITA had a fight, but they did not inject the seeds, of course, they did not do it, and at the same time as independence, it triggered a civil war, which lasted for 27 years.
After that, the SPLM backed Lao Maozi, and Cuba sent a large number of C-ism fighters to Angola to fight UNITA.
The intention of the United States is only to drag the old Maozi front, and for UNITA, the United States only has a mouth and eliminated arms, and then South Africa is responsible for sending troops.
South Africa in the 70s was a hegemon in Africa, and naturally did not want the red flame to burn in, so it worked hard, and the war intensified, beating Angola to pieces.
This fight lasted for ten years, and by the year 89, Lao Maozi was no longer good, and Cuba was completely dragged down.
In 90, the SPLM found that the red base camp was about to run out, and the United States was still so thriving that it had to change its attitude and openly abandon the socialist line and prepare to join the capitalist camp.
In May '91, SPLM and UNITA reached the Biszes Peace Agreement.
It was against this background that Sean led the African detachment, with more than 1,000 parachute soldiers, to the port of Lobito in Angola.
The port of Lobito, a natural deep-water port, the largest port in Angola, was in 1928
The Benguela Railway, which runs to the interior of Africa, can transport mineral sands from Zaire and copper, zinc and other mineral products from Zambia.
Of course, the most important reason is that this is UNITA's territory!
Sean, the American, the owner of the world's largest PMC, is certainly a natural ally of UNITA and has nothing to do with justice.
UNITA's *** Savimbi personally led a large number of important members of UNITA to pick up people at the dock, which was really crowded with firecrackers
When Sean saw Jonas Savimbi, if the man's was really proportional to the nose, then Sean didn't hold back and laughed directly.
A big black fat man, about 200 pounds, but black but black, with a short and big nose, when he laughs, his nose arches forward, shaped like a spaceship.
Jonas Savimbi was very happy, and looked at how kindly the next generation of the American superfamily, the world-renowned billionaire, and the guest of honor of the President of the United States, smiled when he saw me!
Grinning, looking around left and right, and receiving envious glances from left and right, Jonas Savimbi strode towards Sean.
It came up with a big bear hug, and Sean resisted and pushed the guy hard, but he didn't push.
Your mom and I are here to help you build a common prosperity circle in southern Africa, and you are going to murder you!
Fortunately, Jonas Savimbi is a warlord, and his standard of living is the same as that of ordinary Africans, well, he is many times more luxurious than ordinary people, and he doesn't have that smell.
After the hug, Jonas Savimbi grabbed Sean's hand with both hands, very hard. He's excited!
Sean is here, and there is peace!
Sean is here, and there is victory!
Sean is the savior!
It is the savior who saves the people of Angola and the fire and water!
It is the hope of the people!
Although it is *** ahhhh
Well, South Africa at this time was also not recognized by Africans, after all, it was a country where a very small number of whites ruled blacks.
The West and pro-Western forces agree that UNITA is the legitimate government of Angola, and the pro-Soviet or red factions agree that the SPLM is the legitimate government.
It's still the normal reception process, taking pictures, taking videos, receiving flowers and blessings, and being interviewed.
"May I ask Mr. Sean, why did you come to Angola at this time?"
"I am here for a goodwill visit to Angola at the invitation of President Jonas Savimbi, in my personal capacity."
"Then why did you bring the fleet, and so many, soldiers?
"I regret this and express my dissatisfaction at the same time."
Sean said with a sad face: "The political situation in Angola is unstable, and the armed Angolan People's Movement has been destroying the peaceful environment in Angola for its own selfish purposes, and has plunged the security of Angola into chaos."
"For personal safety reasons, I had to bring a large number of security personnel with me to protect myself."
"I hereby solemnly appeal to the SPLM and Mr. dos Santos to stop the civil war, disarm and build Angola together for the good of the Angolan people, and not to destroy the country that has been built with great difficulty and the best development opportunities at present.
"The 12 million people in Angola are innocent and they should not have to pay for your political ambitions.
What do you mean by beautiful words'!
Jonas Savimbi also spoke generously to the camera, denouncing the greed and brutality of the SPLM, disregarding the lives of the Angolan people, criticizing the SPLM for depriving Angolans of their right to freedom and creating wars, resulting in the death of a large number of Angolans, the loss of their fathers and mothers, and the displacement of families......
Anyway, it's just how evil, how to say.
These things will be released in the UNITA control area, and in fact, few people will watch it, and Angola will be so poor that it can afford to buy a TV home
There aren't many in total, even the interview recordings, there are not many radios, not to mention that they are still spoken in English.
In fact, these are taken out for the record of their own pro-national forces, and when needed, they are taken out as video materials or evidence.
But most of them are put in the warehouse to fall into the dust
After the play, Jonas Savin got into Sean's car, protected by umbrella people on the periphery, and on the periphery were UNITA people.
It's either that they don't believe in the combat effectiveness of the UNITA army, or because they believe in it too much, so they don't let them take on any protection tasks.
Sean has no idea of putting himself in danger for the sake of face.
The group went to downtown Lobito, where Jonas Savimbi gave Sean a place to live.
If you are going to another country or city, it must be a place where the living area is large enough and the environment is elegant and safe, such as the suburbs and the seaside.
But in Lobito, it must be downtown, densely populated area.
It can't be on the outskirts of the city, it can be attacked by the rebels at any time, and safety cannot be guaranteed. The building is not obvious, it is slightly dilapidated but strong enough at first glance, with an air-raid shelter underground, independent power generation equipment and water supply facilities, and a grain reserve.
Just highlight a safe, safe, or fucking safe!
Sean, who watched it, was speechless, "Otherwise, I'd better go back to live on my battleship."
It's so good here,' Sean said he couldn't accept it.
Jonas Savimbi laughed and said, "Don't worry, this is also for safety reasons, in fact, it is not that dangerous, there are more than 3,000 people around here, all of them are veterans."
"Okay," Sean agreed.
Old-fashioned, on the specialty, banquet, song and dance, tanning beauty.
Honestly, it's pretty and dark-skinned, if you can ignore that.
Sean didn't refuse without giving face, it was too rude, he didn't like to treat himself badly, but he wasn't without quality, so he sat upright.
I'm here to talk about business!
Jonas Savimbi didn't force it, and when he was almost finished, he waved everyone away, leaving only two people in the house.
"I need weapons, I need ammunition, I need logistical supplies, and I also need a lot of supplies to buy those powerful factions, and there will be a new general election next year, if the current situation continues, dos Santos will have the last laugh!"
