Chapter 1400 [Specialized against the forces of Xiaofa]

The GDP of the three continents actually controlled by Blue Fox International is expected to exceed US$25 billion this year, accounting for about 18% of Somali's GDP. Somali has a total of 30 states, and the economic size of the three continents controlled by Blue Fox International accounts for % of Somali.

And this proportion will increase further because these three states are still in rapid growth and continue to attract large numbers of people.

There are no pirates along the coast of these three states. There really are no pirates. Even if there are, they dare not cause trouble in the area actually controlled by Blue Fox International. Some pirates have given up this livelihood. Simply put, they have switched to working in factories making canned fish and the like.

As long as there is food to eat, few people are willing to become pirates.

In fact, even if all the tax revenues from the three continents of Gai, Zhong and Xia Zhuba were taken out, it would not be enough to support Blue Fox International, but they did not expect to rely on this income.

The key is to consolidate the base and gain the support of local people.

Currently, Blue Fox International has only about 5000 official mercenary members, but the actual force that can be quickly mobilized can reach 1.8. Another 1.3 are recruited from local indigenous people. However, these people are in a semi-active state and are engaged in production labor most of the time. They will only be mobilized when a fight is needed, which is similar to the farming and warfare model.

Blue Fox International will pay each of them a monthly allowance of US$30. The annual expenditure on these 1.3 people is equivalent to the salary of more than a dozen formal mercenary employees.

But there are still a lot of people who sign up. For the local indigenous people, they can get 30 US dollars a month, which means 360 US dollars a year, which is a very considerable income. Moreover, most of the time there is no war and they can engage in productive labor.

This is one aspect. On the other hand, Blue Fox International has carried out different degrees of ideological transformation on the indigenous people in order to protect their homes and the hard-earned order and peace. In a word, it is to let them know why they are fighting.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of these people should not be underestimated. Coupled with the equipment provided by Blue Fox International, as long as there is no modern big power, Blue Fox International does not need to dispatch well-equipped formal mercenary groups. Just relying on these 1.3 people, it can definitely defeat the so-called warlords of Somali.

In addition, Blue Fox International also provides these indigenous militiamen with a promotion channel. Those who perform well can obtain the qualifications of formal employees of Blue Fox International. Blue Fox International holds an assessment every year to screen out some "king soldiers".

However, the conditions are very harsh. These natives know how to use AK, but few can drive tanks.

But there will always be some people with extraordinary talents, and Blue Fox International also needs to absorb fresh blood and outstanding talents. For the local indigenous people, being able to become a formal employee of Blue Fox International is a way to achieve success in one step.

As long as you get a formal employee contract, the basic salary is $1 a month. Even now, the annual per capita GDP of Lower Juba Province has just exceeded $1000.

Becoming a formal employee of Blue Fox International, one month's basic salary is equivalent to others' income for 10 years, and one year's basic salary is equivalent to others' lifetime income. For them, this is a step to heaven, so it is extremely attractive.

Blue Fox International has opened up such an upward channel. This card can be regarded as a king bomb level in the local area, which has brought Blue Fox International extremely strong appeal, because "hope" is the most attractive and powerful thing.

At the same time, the Kismayo University is being upgraded and expanded, as are some primary and secondary schools.

Don't hang around and cause trouble when you have nothing to do. Go and learn some culture. If you want to become a formal employee of Blue Fox International, it's not enough to just be able to carry an AK and shoot. The formal employees of Blue Fox International operate high-end equipment, including tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, rockets, drones and even fighter jets.

With the order and stability brought by Blue Fox International, local development has become increasingly rapid. Somali also has many natural resources, including iron, tin, uranium, gypsum, bauxite, copper, lead, coal, etc., but most of them are distributed in the northern region. In addition, there are oil and natural gas, and its oil reserves rank sixth in Africa.

Last year, oil mines were discovered in Gaizhou and Lower Juba Prefecture, as well as iron and copper mines, which are all ready for development.

The area controlled by Blue Fox International is very safe. Many import and export trades go directly through the port of Kismayo. This is inevitable because you abide by the rules here, and merchant ships or business owners will definitely be willing to pass by here.

But then again, Blue Fox International's sphere of influence covers three continents, and its economic development has indeed been rapid in recent years. But although the growth rate of more than 20% seems very strong, the absolute size is actually not large, with a total volume of only US$25 billion this year.

It is simply impossible to sustain Blue Fox International, because the operating costs of Blue Fox International are not low, and Fang Hong has long cut off its funding. In order to be safe, he has not provided funds to Blue Fox International.

But it also provided Blue Fox International with channels to make money. One of the ways was to allow Blue Fox International to make money in the capital market. No one stipulated that people who wield swords and guns cannot speculate in stocks or futures. It is a skill to be able to reap the money.

Of course, this is only part of it, and the harvest is not too excessive.

Another major way for Blue Fox International to make a living is to head westwards to fight against Fabregas' French forces in Africa. In recent years, they have had many conflicts with Fabregas' foreign troops, and even exchanged fire several times in some local areas. Moreover, they are still no match for Blue Fox International, which makes Fabregas dare not speak out, because Fabregas believes that it is América who is snatching his interests in Africa through Blue Fox International.

What's even funnier is that Amélica actually acquiesced to this matter. On the surface, she tried to appease Fabregas and gave Foxes three glasses of wine as a punishment, which turned out to be three glasses of champagne.

In fact, as Blue Fox International continues to push forward, AMG is still hanging in the balance.

As for why this happened, it's because América is having a hard time and doesn't mind even the smallest bit of money. Blue Fox International is equipped with all-magnesium equipment and even buys fighter jets. It's very expensive to buy these equipment and maintain them. If Blue Fox International doesn't cut costs, it can only increase revenue and must make money to make a living.

And America is also happy to see this happen, as it will expand its influence and control in Africa. No matter how you look at it, Blue Fox International's series of operations in Africa are very much in line with America's interests.

As for Fabregas, Amager said that after sucking blood in Africa for so many years, it’s time to move away.

Fang Hong's current strategic positioning for Blue Fox International is to use Somali as the base, and then cut Fàbregas' cake in Africa. With Amélica as the big victim, he can just bully Fàbregas as much as he wants.

Fabregas was intimidated by Amagilica's power, and did not dare to fight back too hard even when beaten by Blue Fox International. However, Blue Fox International had no martial ethics and hit him with a stick without any mercy, making Fabregas scream.

Although Fabregas dared not speak out or fight back, he was feeling more and more resentful towards Amager.

This is exactly what Fang Hong wants. Why does Blue Fox International want to attack Fabregas' sphere of influence in Africa? Why does it want to cut Fabregas' cake in Africa? On the one hand, it is indeed for cutting cakes, but on the other hand, it is more important to let Fabregas continue to resent the old magnesium. In a few years, when the anti-magnesium hegemony movement is launched, it will be easier to pull Fabregas away from the team of AMG Lika and achieve the goal of dismembering the old magnesium core team.
