Gate of Revelation Chapter 369: [What mine? 】
Chapter 369 [What mine? 】
"What mine?"
Chen Xiaolian suddenly stepped on the brakes and the car stopped suddenly on the side of the road.
Lin Leyan's exclaim came from behind the car. Chen Xiaolian opened the window between the cab and the back of the car and whispered, "Nothing is wrong, I just need to figure it out, here. Stop. "
Lin Leyan's face came out from behind the window, and she breathed a sigh of relief: "Then, let me get out of the car and rest?"
The clever Lin probably realized that Chen Xiaolian might have something to talk to Una alone.
"No." Chen Xiaolian thought for a while: "You are in the car, let's get off."
Wu Na naturally does not have any rebellious capital in Chen Xiaolian's hands. She is taken out of the car by Chen Xiaolian and walks to the trees on the roadside.
This woman is obviously a little panicked, looking around ... This African night, just kill a person casually, without even burying the body, naturally a beast will come to smell the blood.
"Don't, don't kill me ..." Una was about to collapse and screamed.
Chen Xiaolian looked and frowned: "I didn't plan to kill you here, so put away your screams."
Una bit her lip hard.
"Now that you have a chance to speak, you better use the most straightforward, most frank, and simple description to tell me clearly about the 'mine' you said. If you try to disguise or If you conceal anything, then I promise that you will die, and you will die immediately. "
Chen Xiaolian said, looked at his watch: "You have ten minutes."
Una's body shook.
She can see that Chen Xiaolian is not joking this time.
He is serious.
...
Zaied was based on a coup in Kemubia. Before he took office and in the years after he took office, for the most part, Kemubia was a very poor African country.
No mineral resources, lack of population, lack of sufficient land depth ... It can be said from any conditions. Kemubia is a typical small country.
The only thing that can be developed is maybe just to do some trade articles by geography, or to develop agriculture, animal husbandry, etc ...
But for warlords like Zaid. Obviously there is no interest in doing agriculture or animal husbandry. Large investment, long cycle, and much less revenue.
Moreover, there are various tribes in Kermubia, and the relationship between them is also complicated.
The most important thing is. Western powers are not interested in coming all the way to invest in agriculture or animal husbandry in such places.
Zaid has been hoping for minerals.
Other Central African countries around the world have minerals, and they rely on minerals to stimulate the economy. At least the head of state can take advantage of the opportunity to make a lot of money, and Zayed naturally has this idea.
In the first few years, Zaid played fiercely with several western countries.
To be clear, he just wants to sell the country, find minerals in the country, and then sell the benefits to foreign forces, as long as he makes a profit.
However, after a difficult survey. The fact that Zaid was helpless was that he could not sell if he wanted to sell the country.
There is no way to sell!
Several western mining groups have come to survey and have not found any veins worth mining in the territory of Kemubia. Copper iron gold, rare metals, non-ferrous metals, found nothing.
Like Kumbia, it is a place abandoned by God.
The Creator left nothing of value to this land.
Zaied, which has lost its use value, will naturally not be taken seriously by those mining groups.
The disadvantage is that he can't make a lot of money for himself.
The advantage is that he can't get in the sight of western countries. Even if he is here a dictator, a tyrant, and he is so angry that no international force will take care of him.
Say that. Old America killed Saddam for oil. If there was no oil, Saddam would not run to Iraq for justice even if he was dictatorship and brutal.
This is the case with Zaid. He is a great dictator in a poor country. At least no one will come to justice.
But this situation was broken about four years ago.
According to Una, about four years ago, a group of people came to Khumbia.
This group of people has a wealth of money. After finding Zyid, they expressed their intention to survey mineral resources in Kemubia.
Zaied is already numb to this kind of thing. Several big western countries have come to comb the national geography of Kumbia like a comb, and found nothing.
Zaeid has no intention of rejecting this kind of injustice, and it's fine to survey anyway, just give money.
The two parties signed a non-disclosure agreement. The other party paid Zaid several million dollars and stated in the agreement that if the mineral is found, the other party has a five-year mining right. And Zaid could get a share of the profits from the minerals, and at the time he said that it was good to give $ 10 million a year.
Zaied doesn't care how the conditions are signed. What he cares about is that the millions of dollars in deposits he got are in his opinion, the other party is an injustice.
I didn't expect that the injustice was so successful!
Successfully? !!
...
"Think now, that thing is weird."
Wona ’s tone is very complicated: "At that time, the survey staff were sent by the other party. The survey team was very simple, and did n’t even carry much equipment. The benefits are good. And the most important thing is that this is actually a bad job. My father just asked me to follow along, maybe I can get some more benefits from the hands of these innocents.
Chen Xiaolian didn't speak.
Wona continued: "Those surveyors don't seem to do surveys at all. They don't look like people who work in the field all year round. They look like ... more like professional soldiers. . This is nothing, because the Western mining groups we have been in contact with these years have a government background. The guards of those mining groups are basically professional mercenaries, even their own army. However, things remain the same. Very strange. "
At this point, Una paused, took a closer look, and carefully considered her words. Slowly: "They ... are not looking for mines, but for suitable terrain."
"Huh? What does this mean?" Chen Xiaolian asked.
Una thought for a while and slowly said, "Prospecting is a very professional job, and you need to bring professional people. Professional survey equipment, then according to the special geographical environment, then one by one screening, and finally There may be mineral zones for surveying ... but these people seem strange. What do you say ... they feel to me. Very casual. "
"Free?"
"Yes, they feel like traveling, taking the team full of Kumbia, wandering around, watching mountains, rivers, and geography, but rarely stop to survey.
And the weirdest thing is, in the end, we came to a mountain near the southern border. These people looked at the mountain, and then pointed at them and said, "Here it is." "
Una said as she recalled, "I feel ... as if they were completely satisfied with the terrain of that mountain at that time."
Chen Xiaolian's eyes brightened: "What happened? Is the mine really in the mountain?"
Wona smiled bitterly: "I also feel that these people are just making a fool, however, we soon really found a vein in the mountain. This fact surprised my people."
She lowered her voice: "Actually, we have surveyed this mountain before. There is nothing there. The two western mining groups have surveyed there and found nothing.
But these guys. I found the veins there. "
Chen Xiaolian nodded: "Keep talking."
...
The next thing is simpler.
Zaid is an old hooligan.
After learning that the veins were found and found in his own territory, his first reaction was to tear up the agreement!
If the other party is a mining group in a large Western power, of course, Zaid has no courage to do so.
But the other person doesn't look very powerful. Zayd broke his mind.
In his opinion, everything in this land at his feet is his own.
That confidentiality agreement, which yields 10 million per year, is too small to satisfy Zayed's appetite.
He thinks. With this vein, you can take it out yourself and negotiate with other countries in the Western world. Maybe you can get more and better conditions.
Fortunately, he didn't do this immediately, but first tried this partner.
After the survey team returned to Kabka, Zaid immediately sent troops to surround the hotel where the survey team was staying, and placed them under house arrest.
He decides to force the other party to submit first. If the other party can agree with his appetite, then he can continue to cooperate. If the other party does not agree, then ... kill and then find other Western countries to cooperate.
Zaied will not have any psychological obstacles to doing this anyway.
The survey team did not resist, and even those members who looked very professional in the military did not resist, and they should eat and drink calmly in the hotel.
Zaied was scared the next night!
Someone gave him a gift.
This gift is a human head.
The head of the Minister of National Mining of Khumbia.
It was cut off and **** stuffed into Zaid's bed!
Mr. President did not wake up until the morning to find such a thing in his bed.
Of course he was scared on the spot.
Zayd is furious!
He executed several guards around him that day, and replaced the captain of his guard. Ordered the presidential palace to conduct a thorough investigation and raised the security level to the highest level.
He sent someone to the hotel to meet the survey team, and offered the other party conditions. He didn't ask for much. He only required to increase the annual income ratio from 10 million to 30 million.
The other person smiled and said to think about it.
Then Zaid received the gift again that night.
In the morning, it was discovered that all twenty guards guarding outside Zaid's gate were beheaded!
Heads are piled together.
Mr. President, he was lethargic in the room, and his people used cold water to wake up!
Zaid is terrified!
This time he did not violently execute his guard, but sat alone in the room for one morning without talking.
Facing such a brutal opponent, the reaction of the old hooligan in this area is very direct.
He knelt.
Zaied ran to the hotel that night to meet the leader of the survey team. He had torn off the copy of the agreement before he signed it.
The other party only put forward two conditions: the first is confidential, if any information about the mineral is leaked outside, then Zaid will die. The opponent even gave a list, which is a list of all the Kmubian domestics who have already known about the situation of this vein, including the guides in the team. Including government personnel, as well as some family members.
After Zaid went back, the first thing was to shoot all the insiders out!
The only people who stay inside are Una.
The other party accepts Una as a representative of Zaid's interests. Can enter the mining area for auditing. Other than that, no one can enter that area again.
The second condition of the other party is: to stabilize the political situation in Kmubia and not to affect their mining work.
Zayed has a headache with this requirement.
Although he is the president, he does not actually control the entire country of Kumbia, and some tribes have been resisting his rule. Large and small battles will always be fought.
The other side said: you can't do it, we help you.
It only took three days. Near the mining area, the two larger tribes who had been wrong with Zaid had been uprooted! There was nothing left in a fire!
If Zaid had been scared before, this time, he was completely surrendered.
The other party told him: In fact, we can kill you for another obedient president, but it just feels too much trouble.
So, so far, in Khumbia. Only Zaid and a few high-level executives knew the existence of such a mine, and no one else knew about it.
The mountain and the surrounding tribes have been cleared.
Also, Zaid's army never approached that area.
The only person who knows the best is Una.
Una is an alternative among all the children of Zayed. She went abroad to study and was educated in the West.
Zaid handed over his personal property to Una.
Wu Na, he will only go to that mining area four times a year as a check on the income distribution of the mining area every quarter.
She didn't even have access to the real mining area. Can only be seen on the periphery.
According to Una, the other person who did not even hire a miner in Kemubia is probably brought by the other person.
And then more mysteries emerge.
There must always be some place to process the extracted ore, right?
There are no processing plants in the area.
If it's not processed, then these ore will always be shipped out, right?
But after four years. I didn't see any other convoys moving in and out.
That place is almost hidden in the mountains. No one knows that the official of Kumbia has not seen any transport convoys in and out.
It's as if these guys circled a field in the mountain, no one was allowed in and out, and then ... they knew nothing.
Even, Una says she has been there a few times. I don't think that place looks like a mining area. I didn't see any ore or any explosives needed for mining.
She hasn't even seen anyone who looks like a miner.
Every time she meets her, she looks neat and dressed in a suit and shoes.
...
"So, what is this mine? Coal? Iron? Copper? Gold? Diamond? You always know this?" Chen Xiaolian frowned.
Wona opened her mouth: "I ... I don't know."
Chen Xiaolian froze.
Una hesitated, and whispered, "There are gold mines on paper. My father once tried each other and wanted a batch of gold. The other party agreed, and then I took someone to the mine. , The other party really gave us a batch of gold. But ... I haven't really visited the mine. The entire mine is not allowed to enter. In short, I have always been very skeptical about what mine is hidden in that place because We have never really seen it alone. "
