America's Big Hero

Here lies the problem. This so-called professional and qualified testing organization is controlled by several major diamond dealers, headed by De Beers.
The reason given by De Beers is that diamonds in Angola use a lot of "forced" methods in the mining process, forcing workers to work in extremely harsh conditions, many people die every year, and every diamond mined is covered with Blood, as merchants, they cannot intervene, nor have the ability to intervene in Angola's internal affairs, but they have the right not to sell blood diamonds!
Once the organization opens a circulation channel for diamonds produced in Angola, it will definitely lead to the expansion of diamond mining in Angola, which will lead to more deaths. This is inhumane and a blasphemy to life!
Well, the reason is very good. This set of methods was later cited by many countries and industries. For example, the XJ cotton incident was also for a similar reason.
Then, through some channels, the diamonds produced in Angola eventually flowed into the hands of several companies such as De Beers...
After all, gem-quality diamonds will eventually go to the market, and the sales channel must be diamond sellers in various countries.
Channels are the lifeline. Companies such as De Beers control Angola's economic lifeline. They know that the diamonds they mine have created excess profits for companies such as De Beers, but Angolans cannot enjoy them at all.
Even if it is a warlord like Jonas Savimbi, even Dos Santos, who currently controls more territory, can't do anything. Had to succumb to the crotch of these diamond merchants.
After all, we still have to eat.
Sean has a detailed report on Angola's economy in his hand, which was collected by the intelligence department in advance.
In fact, Angola has very good natural conditions, fertile land, dense rivers, and the foundation of a large agricultural country.
Before independence, Angola was not only self-sufficient in food, but also exported in large quantities. It was known as the "granary of southern Africa". Its sisal and coffee exports ranked third and fourth in the world respectively, but after independence... half of the food supply depends on Import or aid, it is impossible to have enough to eat, and a large number of people starve to death every year.
So, is it out of a kind of inner independence?
What good does it do these niggas to be independent?
Independence means freedom!
Independence comes with dignity!
If you become independent, your life will be gone... Cough cough, cross it out, it is the glory of the low-level niggers to exchange the death of the low-level niggers for freedom and dignity.
Cheers! !
Independence, except that the person in power has changed from white to black, and everyone's life is worse, there is no benefit at all!
Angola is also a precedent. The South African army has fought in Angola for more than ten years, don’t you know?
So, why keep up with…
Speaking of which, the northern part of Angola is a cash crop production area, mainly growing coffee, sisal, sugar cane, cotton, peanuts, etc., and the central plateau is a grain production area, mainly growing corn, cassava, rice, wheat, potatoes, beans, etc. Doss Santos occupies the north and the center, crushing Jonas Savimbi both economically and in terms of food.
In the southern area occupied by Jonas Savimbi, only the southwest area produces grain, and the rest of the land is a traditional livestock breeding area, which is rich in beef, mutton and chicken.
Angola is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and is also extremely rich in fishery resources, but due to economic reasons, the fishing industry is extremely underdeveloped, and the problem of storage is even more difficult, so it is useless.
Now, whether it is Dos Santos or Jonas Savimbi, their main source of income is diamond smuggling and oil.
The oil was not smuggled, it was left by the Portuguese, and it was well protected by both sides. The export channel was also from Portugal, and the price was suppressed far below the international oil price.
Of course, now Jonas Savimbi's oil channel has become Sean's. As for the price...
Talk about money?
You are still not my brother!
If you are a brother, don't talk about money!
Talk about money hurt feelings!
"The scale of oil exploration can be expanded. I will send people over to carry out the construction. You don't have to worry about sales, just sell it to South Africa." Sean had a plan in advance. South Africa does not produce oil and relies on imports.
In the past, the South African oil industry was mainly controlled by the South African government and the British, but now that Sean is here, the price of oil... will remain stable!
Increased oil extraction means that Jonas Savinby will become richer, and he is very happy.
The issue is.
"Can you solve the food problem?" Jonas Savimbi asked aloud.
He is a ruler, and he has to consider people's livelihood rather than making money, which is the foundation.
Jonas Savimbi is actually very powerful. He is proficient in three African languages and is also proficient in English, French, German, and Portuguese. When he was young, he studied in Portugal and Switzerland. He has a bachelor's degree in medicine and a doctorate in political science.
In the case of a completely backward economy, he has been entangled with the Anrenyun for 29 years, and will continue for more than 10 years in the future, relying on the tactical strategy of encircling the city from the countryside... Yes, he is still a fan of the teacher.
"Minsheng..." Sean slammed his lips, he came to Angola to make money, so what does the life and death of the little nigger have to do with him.
"It's impossible for you to import food to fill so much. Millions of people have to eat so much in a day!"
"That's up to you. If you don't have enough to eat, how you rule, how you fight, how you develop." Jonas Savimbi said with a wry smile.
Sean snorted, "I'll gather a batch of food for you, but it can't be too much, I can't afford it."
"Of course, of course, I understand." Jonas Savimbi nodded quickly. He really couldn't solve the food problem, and the six major grain merchants didn't even bother him.
The price and channels of international grain are controlled by the six major grain merchants. They would rather dispose of the grain at a low price and use it to feed livestock than sell it cheaply.
The reason is actually quite complicated. It's not just for making money, but the price of food must be stable.
Low grain hurts farmers, which first came from Han Ban Gu's "Hanshu Shihuozhi [-]", "If the purchase is too expensive, it will hurt the people; if it is too cheap, it will hurt the farmers. If the people hurt, they will be separated, and if the farmers hurt, the country will be poor."
It’s really not a theory created by several major grain merchants. The market value of several major grain merchants is not high. By 2015, the six majors will become the four largest. The largest ADM will only rank 500 among the world’s top 321. Not on the list.
Of course, they have done a lot in manipulating international grain prices. The United States has also clamped down on many countries through the four major grain merchants. This is certain and certain.
"It's not enough to rely solely on importing from foreign countries." Looking at Jonas Savimbi's appearance, Sean's tone softened a lot. This guy is sober in the world and has a strong desire for power, but he really has Angola in his heart. Not the kind of purely selfish person.
He is a very complicated person, and based on this alone, Sean looked up to him a few times.
"I also know, but without peace, food production cannot recover." Jonas Savimbi said helplessly.
"Forget it." Sean waved his hand, stared into Jonas Savimbi's eyes and said, "Don't say that I only know how to exploit Angola and don't care about the life and death of the people of Angola. I'll find you a group of real Agricultural experts will come over to help you conduct comprehensive surveys, planning and design, find ways to increase grain production under existing conditions, and at the same time solve the problem of grain imports at regular prices.”
"At the same time, I will help you solve the problem of rough processing and export of some beef and mutton, and build a fishery industry group from fishing to processing."
"Thank you, thank you." Jonas Savimbi stood up abruptly, his fat body opened his arms, excited to give Sean a hug, but he froze in place under Sean's stern eyes.
With a sneer, Jonas Savimbi withdrew his arm, "I thank Mr. Sean on behalf of 500 million Angolans."
"Okay, I'm not a fucking Angola savior, I'm here to make money, not a fucking charity, give up fantasy, don't expect to kidnap me with morals, I, Sean, a capitalist, eat meat and drink blood The kind." Sean pointed to himself, "You figure it out for me."
"Understood, I understand that the interests of Mr. Xiao En will always be guaranteed by the Owendu people." Jonas Savin nodded heavily.
Sean rolled his eyes, I fucking promise you, if you dare to play tricks, I will directly replace you.
"That's it, I'm leaving." Sean got up and walked out, and Jonas Savimby quickly followed.
……
There is no reason to stay in this poor place in Angola. Sean didn't want to live in the basement, so he took people back to the port after finishing the work, and left directly after the supplies were completed.
Not everyone left. Sean left a group of people in Lobito, which is not only the largest port in Angola, but also a transportation hub. He wants to build a small military base here.
The only way for this ghostly place in Africa to protect its own interests is by force. In the future, grain and animal imports and exports, fisheries, oil exports, and mineral exports will all go from here. Sean must ensure that Lobito is under his control.
In fact, the best place should be Cabinda.
Cabinda is an enclave in Angola. It is in the middle of the DRC and Brasilia. It is not a big place, only 7800 square kilometers. However, the offshore oil production here is extremely rich, but it has not been explored yet, and no one pays attention to it. Of course, Xiao I don't know either.
I returned to South Africa and stayed for a few days. By the way, I will deal with the affairs here. The alliance of black chiefs created by Pietra Adem and Sean will continue to expand, and it cannot be limited to the vicinity of Cape Town, Sean The appetite is not so small.
Sean is now the largest mountain among all the interests of the United States in South Africa, and it is the link of the Black Chiefs Alliance to the outside world. Therefore, he will come here every once in a while to meet and communicate with the newly joined black chiefs.
Of course, the specific matters are handled by the people below, including arranging for the family members and children of these black chiefs to travel to the United States, study, work, and so on.
As the Black Chiefs who are qualified to see the world with their eyes open, they are not short-sighted.
……
After being delayed for half a month in South Africa, Sean flew straight to Lithuania in a private plane. To develop in Africa requires a lot of arms, and the most suitable ones are Soviet-style weapons, especially AK guns.
Niggers don't maintain themselves, let alone guns... guns are always black and greasy, with all kinds of dirt inside, that is, AK.
So, Sean issued the "Commodity-for-Arms Plan" two months ago, and now the goods have arrived at the port of Klaipeda. This kind of large-scale smuggling... large-scale arms trade has to be handled by Sean himself.
Vytautas Landsbergis, chairman of the Supreme Council, well, although Lithuania has become capitalist, the president has not yet been elected, and it will have to wait until next year.
Sean arrived and was greeted by him at the airport in person.
On the one hand, Sean's status and international influence, on the one hand, Sean has invested heavily in Lithuania, and on the other hand, Sean brought a large amount of daily necessities, three super-large freighters, and 50 tons of goods.
Daily necessities, or light industrial products, are lacking in the entire Soviet system, and the shortage is severe, otherwise there will be no downfalls.
Video recordings, interviews, speeches, banquets, the necessary procedures, it will be night after a circle.
In the evening, it was time to talk about serious business. Sean had revealed beforehand that he was going to get a batch of arms, and now the two of them were talking about this.
"Why do you want to get arms from Ukraine?" Vytautas Lanzbergis asked with a smile.
"Uh... what's the problem, isn't there a lot of strategic arsenals left by the Soviets in Ukraine?" Sean asked with some doubts.
"Lithuania also has them, and there are many!" Vytautas Landsbergis looked at Sean and said, "We can fully meet your needs."
"Ah!" Sean looked at Vytautas Landsberges in surprise, he hadn't heard of it.
Don't they all say that Ukraine's strategic arsenal supplies the arms smuggling market for the next 30 years?
Chapter 557: For the Country and the People
Sean has never thought about, nor heard of, that Lithuania still has a large amount of arms sales, and this thing will not be publicized on a large scale.
I know Ukraine because of Jackie Chan's "Simple Story".
Vytautas Lanzbergis said with a somewhat sad expression: "The Soviet system is not useless. At least the heavy industry is very developed. In order to deal with the malice from all sides, the arms are the best in the world."
"Then why are there a large number of arsenals here?" Sean was a little puzzled.
"Who do you think is the biggest enemy of the Soviet Union?" Vytautas Lanzbergis suddenly changed the subject.
"America!" Sean said firmly.
"From a global point of view." Vytautas Lanzbergis nodded and continued to ask: "Then if another world war breaks out, where do you think the Soviet Union should face first?"
Sean frowned slightly, and looked up at the world map hanging on the wall.
Why has the Soviet Union, or Russia, been targeted all the time? For hundreds of years, they have either been fighting or are on the way to war. The reputation of the fighting nation has spread far and wide all over the world.
This is from a geographical point of view.
One of the arguments is that the earth is round, and if we spread out the map with the North Pole as the center, we can find that whether it is Europe, Asia, or the Americas, they are all within the threat range of Russia.
Another way of saying it is the climate. Most of the Russians are concentrated in Northern Europe. They have been longing for warm winters and vast land all their lives. Therefore, every time Russia’s population increases to a certain extent, it will launch wars abroad, and the best target is Continental Europe.
It's like the threat of the grassland to the Central Plains.
It is impossible for the Central Plains to occupy the grasslands, and once the recuperation is good, the grasslands will invade the Central Plains and have never stopped for thousands of years.
China has completed the unification of the Central Plains and grasslands, but Europe has not. As for the bears who have been threatening the mainland for hundreds of thousands of years, no one in Europe likes them.
"It must be in the direction of Europe, Poland, Germany, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania!" Sean named a few names.
"Yes, Lithuania is next to Poland." Vytautas Landsbergis spread his hands with a smile, "During the Soviet Union, we would be faced with the task of attacking Poland or defending against attacks from Poland, and the priority was The first one."
"Moreover, we are still the three Baltic countries, and we have the task of attacking Finland, Sweden, and Norway, or resisting attacks from the sea."
"So, isn't it a matter of course that Lithuania has the strategic arsenal left by the Soviet Union?"
"Okay." Sean nodded, this is an information error, "So Ukraine doesn't store that many arms?"
"No, you guessed wrong again." Vytautas Lanzbergis laughed again, "The amount of arms stored in Ukraine is more than the total of the three Baltic countries plus Russia's Kaliningrad and Belarus. "
"Why?" Sean looked up at the world map. Ukraine is adjacent to Yugoslavia, Hungary, and Slovakia. There are almost no threats on land. The real focus should be the Black Sea, which is Turkey.
Although the Russians and the Turks are feuds, the Black Sea Fleet is enough. How could there be such a huge amount of arms.
Vytautas Landsbergis explained: "You are right. From a global point of view, the biggest enemy of the Soviet Union is the United States. Once World War III breaks out, Poland must be the first place to fight."
Sean couldn't hold back and almost laughed, anyway, no matter what happens, as long as there is a war, then fight Poland first!
What does this mean?
Explain that Poland is in everyone's heart!
Thinking of you all the time!
Vytautas Lanzbergis didn't know what Xiao En was laughing at, and continued: "But when will the third war be fought? It seems that it is still far away, and the world situation has not deteriorated to such a degree. In fact, It is not the United States, nor Poland, that has been threatening the Soviet Union, but Yugoslavia!"
Sean blinked his eyes, as if he understood a lot at once, "The threat targets are different due to different systems?"
Vytautas Lanzbergis nodded, "Yes, the Soviet Union is socialism, centralized power, the whole system has only one voice, emphasizing 'unity' and 'collective', never talking about individuals, emphasizing the sacrifice of the individual for the collective Spirit, although there are factions internally, but the overall goal is the same.”
"Capitalism emphasizes 'freedom', 'individuality' and 'checks and balances'. There will be different factions in the country with several voices. Although capitalist countries will also make moves to interfere with other countries, the starting point of this move is profit. "
"The Soviet Union is different. As the birthplace of the red spirit, the Soviet Union wants to control other countries by promoting its own ideas, and then annexes, absorbs, and manages all red regimes."
