Chapter 1967: Oil base

The next day, Lin Rui and several others set off from the temporary base and drove directly to the oil production area northwest of Anmore.

This oil production area is under the responsibility of a Chinese company, and the local climate environment is also very harsh. The daytime temperature there is basically around 50 degrees Celsius, and the ground temperature is even as high as 70 degrees Celsius. The portraits are steamed and roasted in a steamer. When you go out to work in the field, you must beware of deadly attacks by cobras, bellied snakes, venomous bees, and venomous scorpions. The periphery is basically the same as the desert, but some areas inside are slightly better.

It is said that the output of the oil field in this place has reached the level of hundreds of thousands of barrels per day. There are also many corresponding staff, at least a few hundred Chinese and thousands of local employees. Africa is very rich in natural resources, including oil, forests, various minerals, etc., but these resources are meaningless to ordinary people.

For historical reasons, African resources belonged to colonists in the past, but now they belong to international companies and governments, as well as high-ranking officials in the government, and have little to do with ordinary African blacks. Petroleum companies rely on government officials to extract oil offshore, and most of them build a closed base on the shore. After the crude oil is extracted, it is directly transported from the sea. Many Africans can only see the walls and the distance of the oil base. Oil production platforms off the coastline.

This has also led to the occurrence of war, these oil companies are easily attacked and looted.

Lin Rui took a rough look at the surrounding defenses, and then contacted the person in charge of the security forces in this area. It is also a Chinese who is responsible for the security tasks of this oil production area. Lin Rui still knows him because he is also one of the people who trained with him in Siberia, called Wang Jinghua. Because the Black Island Company was hit hard some time ago and there is an urgent need for mercenaries with experience in leading the team, so he is now the team leader.

Due to long-term exposure to the sun, Wang Jinghua's skin has turned wheaten, and he is still in good spirits. He walked over to greet Lin Rui and embraced him excitedly. "I heard that you are coming, it's been a long time since I saw you!"

Lin Rui also patted him, and said with a wry smile, "I would rather not come this time because I have not brought good news."

"What?" Wang Jinghua frowned, "What's wrong?"

"This place will soon become uneasy. We have found that there are militants gathering nearby. It shows that it is a conflict between warlord forces, but in fact the conflict should affect this place soon." Lin Rui Whisper. "How are your preparations?"

"There are high concrete walls, power grids, and several commanding heights with machine gun firepower. When we came, we also had basic defense capabilities. After we took over, we strengthened the weak links on the north side. Where did we deploy more Firepower and the expanded scope of investigation have also formulated emergency plans. Once a situation arises, people from the periphery can be quickly evacuated to the base." Wang Jinghua replied, "According to your request, we have also contacted many reporters. Once there is war, they will gather here soon."

Lin Rui nodded, "How about the employer?"

"Many of them are still skeptical, thinking that it is impossible to attack the oil production area." Wang Jinghua nodded.

"Wait another week, they won't be so suspicious." Jiang An shook his head. "Our defensive mission to the oil extraction base this time may continue for a period of time. You'd better reserve enough during this period."

"Yes, we have made preparations for this. But what I am more worried about is the damage to the facilities outside the base, such as the explosion of oil pipelines."

"There is no other way but to send people to patrol frequently at that time. In addition, tell the patrol team to try not to patrol according to the prescribed route, so as not to be familiar with the route and encounter roadside bombs." Lin Rui exhorted a few more words. .

Wang Jinghua whispered, "One more thing."

"You said." Lin Rui nodded.

"If the situation is really bad, what should we do? I mean if we can't keep it under extreme circumstances. Do we want to abandon the oil production base and evacuate to a relatively safe area with people." Wang Jinghua whispered.

"I hope this will not happen. If you are really helpless, you can temporarily abandon the oil production base and retreat to our designated area as planned. Other surrounding teams will assist you." Lin Rui replied, "They The plan is only to force the oil companies out here, so large-scale damage to facilities is unlikely. So everything is still focused on ensuring the safety of personnel. The rest of the time depends on you."

Wang Jinghua nodded. At this time there was a commotion outside the door, and a person strode in and said, "What the **** is going on? Are you trying to turn me into a battlefield?"

This person is tall and has a loud voice, "Why, why do you send so many people here? We are an oil company, not a military base."

"Excuse me, are you?" Lin Rui frowned.

"This is the vice president of the Anmore project and the person in charge here, President Wei." Wang Jinghua introduced.

President Wei looked at Lin Rui and seemed a little surprised, "Are you also Chinese?"

"For security reasons, I cannot answer this question. But what I can tell you is that the deployment of increased firepower is to cope with the future situation. We have enough reason to believe that in the next few days, Anmore's The situation will deteriorate rapidly. In order to ensure the safety of you and this base, we are doing our utmost. And you hire us, you want this." Lin Rui calmly said.

"I didn't hire you. That was the above decision. But you have done a bit too much. I have seen a lot of winds and waves in Africa. But I have never seen you exaggerate like this. You blatantly set up machine guns at intersections like this. Our employees are feeling nervous and panic, and this has already affected our production." Mr. Wei said sharply, "We hired you to protect my production, not to counteract it."

"I think my primary task is to protect your lives and this oil extraction base from being destroyed. You are responsible for the production. I am not an employee of the oil company, so I am only responsible for security." Lin Rui looked up at him. Tao.

"To put it bluntly, do you know how much oil this oil base produces in a day, and how much loss will there be if you stop it for a day?" Wei Zong said unhappily.

"I don't know, but I know that compared to stopping production for a day, the cost of constructing this oil base is even more expensive. It is better to stop working for a day than to lose forever." Lin Rui said solemnly, "So let us do our own thing. Thing."
