American TV series

(I returned to Sanya at 11 o'clock last night and stayed up until 2:30 in the morning to finish one chapter. Today's second chapter can be regarded as making up for the previous chapter. It will be updated as usual tomorrow)

Africa's largest oil producer is currently Libya.

However, if we push back in time, Nigeria will be the largest African country in the future, Angola will be second, and Libya will be third.

Of course, Libya has the advantage of having oil reservoirs buried shallowly, making extraction difficult and, simply put, low cost.

The so-called propaganda that the oil is only enough to be exploited for a hundred years and that after a hundred years there will be no energy available is essentially a fallacy.

The reserves of oil have never been low. Even if they are used for hundreds of years, they will not be used up. What really bothers countries is the cost of extraction.

According to the international crude oil price in 1991, the average price was 19.33 US dollars per barrel. Many oil wells that will be famous in later generations cannot be exploited at all, and the cost is higher than the selling price, and much higher.

Not only is it low now, it was 17.01 in 1993 and 15.86 in 1994. That was the cold winter for oil companies!

In 1996, it had just broken through the 20 US dollars per barrel mark, and then came the Asian financial crisis. In 1998, it was as low as 12.76 US dollars, returning to before liberation overnight.

It would take until 2000 for things to slow down.

Sean doesn't remember these things clearly. After all, he was a counterfeit wine seller back then and didn't care about this stuff at all. He just passed it by on the news.

He just remembered that the 1998 financial crisis finally swept across the world, and all industries were greatly affected, while the north carried out an economic soft landing and began to deeply develop domestic demand, strongly stimulating the economy.

I won’t talk about methods to boost the economy...

Anyway, oil is black blood. When the economy is boosted, oil consumption increases sharply, and oil prices soar sharply.

He still remembers that at that time, news broke out frequently about the soaring oil prices, and he felt distressed when the price was 95 plus.

Closer to home, there is still a 9-year window for the oil industry before 2000. In theory, investing in oil at this time is not a wise decision.

But in actual operation, those super large companies began to expand crazily during the trough period of the economic downturn, and finally reached the peak.

Like Rockefeller!

When the old Rockefeller was hired by the company to investigate Pennsylvania's oil industry, the results showed that it was booming and a lot of hot money was flowing in. The old Rockefeller thought this was a bit too crazy and turned to deal in agricultural products.

After the climax came the time of the wise. The oil industry plummeted and the ground was full of chicken feathers. At this time, the old Rockefeller resolutely sold off the agricultural products company that was developing well, plunged into the oil industry and began to make large-scale acquisitions, and finally achieved the pattern of Standard Oil dominating the world.

.

There are many other examples, and Sean will certainly not hesitate when he already knows that the final result will definitely be good.

Not to mention nine years, even 9.9 years, he dared to invest!

It’s not like I have no money!

…

Angola.

When Sean arrived here, he didn't bring Fenris Hodgson or the others with him.

A group of mining companies and so on are worthy of playing in oil?

It's just a mining company. Even the largest one, McMoran, has a market value of only tens of billions and only occupies a small part of Sean's industrial landscape.

This group of people left him in Namibia. The development of South Africa has to wait for the political situation to change. Namibia does not need it. Instability is a big crisis for others, but for Sean there is only opportunity and no danger!

Located in southwest Africa, bordering Congo to the north, Zambia to the east, Namibia to the south, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west, it is one of the earliest colonies in Africa. Its suzerain country is Portugal, with a current population of 12 million and a GDP of 11.2 billion US dollars in 1990.

In 1951, Portugal changed Angola into an overseas province. In order to implement a localization strategy, Portugal sent a governor to rule.

In 1958, the People's Liberation Movement of Angola, the People's Liberation Movement of Angola, emerged and launched an armed struggle on February 4, 1961.

In 1962, Jonas Savimbi's Popular Front for the Liberation of Angola, the Front for the Liberation of Angola, appeared in New Lisbon in the south.

To say they are a liberation organization is really flattering. They are just two warlords supported by different financial backers. The two are not coordinated with each other, and they work independently and fight against each other.

Why is it said to be supported by a sponsor?

Nonsense, Angola, the least developed country in the world, a place that can’t even make a fucking kitchen knife, how can it have the money to buy arms and start a struggle!

This is different from the north. Even in the most backward era, the industrial base is much more complete and stronger than that of most countries in the world!

During the colonial period, why didn't we occupy the north just like we did with Asan and other Southeast Asian countries?

The Battle of Langfang began on June 10, 1900. After the capture of Yanjing on August 14, the army continued to increase. Troops were sent from Beijing and Tianjin to attack and plunder in all directions, and controlled areas as far as Zhengding in the south, Zhangjikou in the north, and Shanxi Customs in the east.

, the key passes around Beijing and Tianjin reaching Niangzguan in the west.

We've been beaten to this extent, why not capture it?

Are the Western colonists kind-hearted?

no!

I can't beat him...

I won’t go into details about the reasons for the war. If you are interested, you can check it out for yourself. The general idea is that there was civil strife in the Qing court. The Manchus and the royal family themselves were divided into two factions. The old witch was in danger, so she wanted to drive the tiger away and devour the wolf.

In the Battle of Langfang, the Eight-Power Allied Forces suffered 394 casualties and were forced to retreat.

Later, in the Battle of Dagukou, 6 warships were sunk and more than 200 people were killed or injured.

Tianjiwei was captured and more than 900 people were killed or wounded.

Later, more than 16,000 allied troops attacked Yanjing, killing another 635 people. In October, 30,000 German reinforcements arrived in Beijing, and suffered heavy losses in Baoding, Zhangjiakou, Jixing, and Niangzguan areas.

This was caused by the old witch trying her best to hold back.

Thanks to the well-developed transportation network in Beijing and Tianjin, once you cross this range, everyone like them has to get in.

This is already the maximum that the logistics of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces can support. If it were a single country, and the expedition was tens of thousands of miles across the sea, don't even think about it. We have never suffered such heavy losses in Asan and Southeast Asia.

This is the fundamental reason why they only engage in concessions and do not want to colonize on a large scale.

Ahem, I digress again, let’s talk about Angola.

The big financier behind the People's Liberation Army is Lao Maozi, but the actual contributor is Cuba.

The major financier behind FRELIMO is the United States, but the actual contributor is South Africa.

The two parties were fighting among themselves and tossing the grapes at the same time.

FRELIMO was defeated and disbanded, and Jonas Savimbi founded UNITA in March 1966 and became its chairman.

You can imagine that two strong black men attacked each other in an extremely rough manner, the kind that TV novels are not allowed to write. The little Portugal rushed out shouting "Yeah, buy the disc" and "Yeah, buy the disc".

Although Portugal was as limp as a puddle of mud, he was not without means. At the last moment, he controlled An Renyun to inject something into his body and crawled away.

FRELIMO and UNITA had a fight, but they did not inject any seeds, so of course they quit. At the same time as independence, it triggered a civil war, which lasted for 27 years.

Later, the MPLA relied on Lao Maozi, and Cuba sent a large number of WC communist fighters to Angola to fight against UNITA.

The intention of the United States is just to drag down the front line of Lao Maozi. Regarding UNITA, the United States only offered a mouth and eliminated arms, and then South Africa was responsible for sending troops.

In the 1970s, South Africa was the dominant country in Africa. Naturally, it did not want the red flames to burn in, so it worked hard and the war intensified, beating Angola to a pulp.

This fight lasted for ten years. By 1989, Lao Maozi was no longer able to survive, and Cuba was completely dragged down.

In 1990, the People's Liberation Army found that the red base camp was almost dead, but the United States was still so prosperous, so it had to change its attitude, openly abandon the socialist line, and prepare to join the capitalist camp.

In May 1991, the MPLA and UNITA reached the "Bisses Peace Agreement."

It was against this background that Sean led the African Squadron and arrived at the port of Lobito in Angola with more than 1,000 parachute soldiers.

Lobito Port is a natural deep-water port and the largest port in Angola. It is the starting point of the Benguela Railway to the interior of Africa established in 1928. It can transport Zaire's ore and Zambia's copper, zinc and other mineral products.

Of course, the most important reason is that this is UNITA’s territory!

Sean, an American and the world's largest PMC boss, is of course a natural ally of UNITA and has nothing to do with justice.

Savimbi, the leader of UNITA, personally led a large number of important members of UNITA to pick up people at the pier. It was really a sea of ​​people and firecrackers were going off...

When Sean saw Jonas Savimbi, if a man's penis was really proportional to his nose, then... Sean couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.

A big black fat man, about 200 pounds, but dark, with a short and big nose. When he smiles, his nose arches forward, looking like a spaceship.

Jonas Savimbi was very happy. Look, the next generation leader of the American super family, a world-famous rich man, and a guest of the President of the United States, smiled so kindly when he saw me!

Grinning, he looked around, receiving the envious looks from both sides, and then Jonas Savimbi took big steps towards Sean.

A big bear hug came up. Sean resisted and pushed the guy hard, but he didn't push.

Your mother... I'm here to help you build a common prosperity circle in Southern Africa. You are committing murder!

Fortunately, Jonas Savimbi was a warlord, and his living standards were similar to those of ordinary Africans. Well, he was many times more luxurious than ordinary Africans, and he didn't have that bad smell.

After the hug, Jonas Savimbi grabbed Sean's hand with both hands again, very hard.

He is so excited!

Sean is here, there is peace!

Sean is here and there is victory!

Sean is the savior!

He is the savior who saves the people of Angola from water and fire!

It is the hope of the people!

Although it is an anti-government...ah, the United States does not recognize the rule of the MPLA. UNITA is the legitimate government of Angola from the United States. Although African countries do not think so, South Africa agrees.

Well, South Africa at this time was not recognized by Africans either. After all, it was a country where a very small number of white people ruled over black people.

The West and pro-Western forces recognize that UNITA is the legitimate government of Angola, while the pro-Soviet or red factions recognize that the MPLA is the legitimate government. There are two presidents in the country.

It is still the normal reception process, taking photos, filming, receiving flowers and blessings, and accepting interviews.

"May I ask Mr. Sean why you came to Angola at this time."

"I came to Angola for a goodwill visit at the invitation of President Jonas Savimbi on a personal basis."

"Then why did you bring a fleet and so many soldiers?"

"I express regret and dissatisfaction about this." Sean said with a sad face: "Angola's political situation is unstable, and the anti-government armed MPLA has been destroying Angola's peaceful environment and making Angola's law and order for their own selfish interests.

into chaos."

"For personal safety reasons, I had to bring a large number of security personnel to protect myself."

"I hereby solemnly appeal to the MPLA and Mr. Dos Santos to stop the civil war, disarm, and jointly build Angola. This is truly for the good of the Angolan people. Angola's independence is hard-won. Don't destroy the country that was finally established and the current most important

Good development opportunity.”

"The 12 million people in Angola are innocent and they should not have to pay for your political ambitions."

What do you mean by ‘nice words’!

Jonas Savimbi also made an impassioned speech to the camera, denounced the MPLA for its greed and brutality, disregarded the life and death of the Angolan people, criticized the MPLA for depriving the Angolan people of their right to freedom, creating war, and causing a large number of massacres.

Angolans died, many children lost their fathers and mothers, and many families were displaced...

Anyway, it’s just how evil it is, no matter how you put it.

These things will be released, and will be released in the areas controlled by UNITA. In fact, few people will watch them. Angola is so poor that there are not many families who can afford TV. Even interview recordings and radios are not available.

Not much, not to mention the fact that he spoke in English.

These are actually taken out to record for each country's own national forces, and used as video materials or evidence when necessary.

But most of them are left to gather dust in warehouses...

After finishing the 'act', Jonas Savimbi got into Sean's car, protected by people from the umbrella on the outside, and people from the Allied Forces on the outside.

Either they don't believe in the combat effectiveness of the An Alliance Army, or they believe too much, so everyone doesn't let them take on any protection tasks.

Sean had no intention of putting himself in danger just to save face.

The group went to the center of Lobito, where Jonas Savimbi had set up a residence for Sean.

If you are going to other countries or cities, you must be in a place with a large enough living area, elegant and safe environment, such as the suburbs or the seaside.

But in Lobito, it must be the city center, a densely populated area.

It cannot be on the outskirts of the city. It may be attacked by 'rebels' at any time, and safety cannot be guaranteed.

The building is not obvious, a little dilapidated but sturdy enough at first glance. It has an underground air raid shelter, independent power generation equipment and water supply facilities, and food reserves.

Just highlight one thing: safety, safety, or fucking safety!

Sean looked speechless and said, "Otherwise, I'd better go back to my battleship and live there."

The atmosphere here is so 'good' that 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. We have more than 3,000 people nearby, all veterans."

"Okay..." Sean agreed in front of him.

The same old routine, specialties, banquets, singing and dancing, beauty... black beauty.

To be honest, she is quite beautiful, with dark and shiny skin, if you can ignore this.

Sean didn't refuse without giving face. It was too rude. He didn't like to treat himself badly, but he was not incompetent, so he sat upright.

I'm here to talk business!

Jonas Savimbi didn't force it, and when he was done eating, he waved everyone away, leaving only two people in the room.

"I need weapons, I need ammunition, I need logistical supplies, and I also need a lot of supplies to buy off those in power. There will be a new election next year. If the current situation continues, Dos Santos will probably laugh.

at last!"
