Chapter 477

At this time, in Somalia on the other side of Africa, it happened to be four or five o'clock.

After a night of baptism with guns and guns, everyone had a good rest all morning, which should be the most energetic time of the day.

Lu Yuan first called the copper mining area controlled by Lu Yuhua, explaining his itinerary for the next few days and the approximate arrival time.At the same time, it was also for him to tell that general Aidid that he would call him in half an hour to discuss cooperation with the gemstone mine.

The current General Aidid is probably very busy, so it is necessary to ask the mining area to say hello first, otherwise it is the same thing whether General Aidid answers an international call from here.

…………

On the other side of the world, the Hiran region of Somalia.

Here is a barren mountainous area where transportation is basically based on walking and communication is basically based on roaring. The GDP of the entire region is driven by the export of minerals, and due to the lack of large machinery, the mining capacity is still at the level of 500 years ago.

In this barren land of 200 square kilometers, there are more than [-] million people living in total. Of course, this is the official statistics. As for the real data...

The local government agencies are useless, and public officials and clerks are even more out of the question. The real actual controller is General Aidid, a warlord who is believed to have more than 5000 "private soldiers".

That's right, more than 5000 private soldiers are already a big warlord in this country with a population of 500 million.

Somalia has 820 million hectares of arable land, accounting for 13% of the country's land area, but only more than 100 million hectares of arable land.The country's agricultural population accounts for 30% of the country's total population, but food cannot be self-sufficient. By 2010, the grain output was only 23.6 tons!

Global food production is similar to this figure, but the unit is [-] million!

When this data is multiplied by the population, it is easy to judge the degree of hunger in this country.

Due to the continuous civil war, the social and educational systems here have collapsed for many years, but the clever Somali warlords have found another way to make money:
This is the only sea route for cargo ships from various countries to enter and exit the Suez Canal, so the locals have been piracy since the 20th century.The country's pirates blackmail merchant ships from various countries every year, and the amount is difficult to estimate, so that the United Nations has launched investigations and crackdowns on pirate bases.

However, the effect...

Of course, there is also a clear stream among these "Kings of the Mountain".

Unlike the cruel and stupid African warlords in the movies, General Aidid's family has ruled the entire Hiran area since his grandfather's generation.He himself is a self-motivated and capable person in power. He is not only popular with the local people, but also makes people's livelihood very impressive.

Of course, this is also related to the abundant natural minerals in the mountains.

To sell mines, one must contact the outside world. General Aidid is a man with long sleeves and a good dancer. This can be seen from his attitude towards foreign businessmen.

The Huaxia businessman opened a mine there, he would pay a symbolic protection fee, and sent guards to protect it very carefully.

The two parties share the account of the minerals that are issued, or they are purchased by the merchants on the spot, or they are resold by themselves.

There is actually a reason why General Aidid is so friendly to the Chinese people.

When he was a child, he once suffered from a serious illness. In such a situation, he can only resign himself to fate in Somalia.Fortunately, in the 80s, it was the peak period of China's aid to Somalia. Little Aidid caught up with the official completion of the China-aided hospital in the capital Mogadishu, and was "lucky" to become the first batch of patients admitted.

Little Aidid was saved by the Huaxia doctor. Later, General Aidid was very grateful for this, so he has been providing protection to the Huaxia people within his ability on his own territory.

In fact, this kind of luck is also two-way. After all, when it comes to doing business, the conditions he got from the Huaxia merchants are also the best in the world, not one of them.

Everything is developing in a good direction, and the territory is thriving. Huaxia's Sihai Heavy Industry has brought many cement houses and asphalt roads that many people have never seen in their lives, and they are even preparing for the first railway in Somalia...

Seeing that the people's life is about to get on the right track, but at this time, a large reserve and high-purity gemstone mine was discovered in the river valley area that has a border dispute with the Bakool District.

This made him feel that his territory had an opportunity to rise.

After desperately throwing out most of his fortune and purchasing a large amount of ammunition and supplies, he finally knocked out the useless waste in the Bakole district and gained control of the gemstone mine.

Starting with this gemstone mine completely brought General Aidid to the pinnacle of his life.

The mining of gemstone mines depends more on luck, unlike those metal mines, which pay more attention to quantity than quality.

When the stone is smashed, you can directly exchange money if you have gems, and continue smashing if you don't have gems.

However, the African general didn't know whether he was possessed by the Emperor of Europe or his blood was too pure. After only a few days of mining, trouble came to his door.

A piece of rare ruby ​​ore unearthed from the mining area directly surprised General Aidid, who couldn't help himself. He quickly dispatched troops to protect it, and even rented a helicopter that he was reluctant to use to escort it.

Now, however, the surprise has turned into a fright...

Because the news of this rare treasure was spread by the "inner ghost", now the entire area around Hiran is full of jealous "hyenas".

Even those doing sea business thousands of miles away are gathering in the direction of Xilan.

This is not like a mine that requires management, defense, and commercial negotiations.As long as you grab this thing, you can become the richest person in Somalia. You can choose to recruit soldiers and write down a few pages, or simply leave this shitty place to enjoy retirement.

The surrounded General Aidid's hair was almost graying because he wanted to get rid of this broken stone!

There is no airport in Hiran, or even in Somalia.

Oh yes, there is one in Mogadishu.

There is no runway, no tower, not even a radio station, take off and land as you please, and once you enter the takeoff and landing range, everyone will pray together that there will be no "airport" that RPG shoots over...

So, if poor Eddie's general wants to transport the gems out, he has no choice but to transport them by land besides helicopters.

The problem is that the guys outside even shot down the helicopter, and the ground blockade must have been erected early!

By land?Isn't it obvious that you will be sent to your door to be shot?
Now those guys haven't united to fight in, that's because the issue of profit distribution hasn't been settled yet.

Or maybe there are too many people, and if they form a partnership, eating meat will turn into soup. Everyone is considering whether to kill a batch first and share more...
