Western Sahara usually refers to the western part of the Sahara Desert on the Atlantic Ocean, an area with long-standing disputes and unresolved sovereignty. The Arabs entered the region in the 7th century, the Portuguese invaded in the middle of the 15th century, and in the 19th century, Western Sahara became an overseas province of the Spanish colony.

In 1975, King Hassan of Morocco launched the famous "Green March" and led 350,000 people to gather in Agadir, Morocco, and then marched towards the Sahara on foot, and went to Taha, which is about 100 kilometers away from Ayoune, the capital of Western Sahara. , Announcing the occupation of Western Sahara, many people stayed here, and the authorities continued to emigrate to Western Sahara, forcing Spain to abandon its rule of Western Sahara in 1975.

They won the upper hand in the battle with Mauritania and Algeria, which also have sovereignty requirements for Western Sahara, and then actually took control of 80% of the territory of Western Sahara, and the "Arab Saharan Arab Sahara" led by a local independent armed organization called the Polisario Front "Democratic Republic", although recognized by 49 countries, it actually controls only 20% of the land of Western Sahara, which has obvious disadvantages.

If Western Sahara is just a barren land where birds fly over and don’t shit, I believe no one would want it. Morocco’s forced occupation is also out of strategic needs, because Western Sahara is not only rich in phosphate deposits, but more importantly, it is Proved underground oil resources. Under the influence of some countries in the Middle East and Africa that became rich due to oil, Morocco is on the contrary oil-free, so it covets the treasures of Western Sahara and wants to occupy it.

Although more than 40 years have passed, the United Nations has not recognized Morocco’s occupation of Western Sahara, but it has nothing to do with it. The so-called referendum has been dragged on forever, and it is nowhere in sight.

Lin Rui frowned, "How can the secret society have anything to do with Western Sahara?"

"Because this is the last land without a master in Africa." Silver Wolf said in silence for a while. "The United Nations has never recognized Morocco's occupation of Western Sahara, nor has it recognized the Saharan Arab Democratic Republic as a sovereign state. Therefore, there is currently no clear ownership of this region. The secret agency took Kanavia to connect the Western Sahara region. The local Western Saharans joined forces."

"You mean, they want to win over the Saharan Arab Democratic Republic?" Jiang An asked.

"It's not just to win, the secret agency wants to join forces with them. The Saharan Arab Democratic Republic currently controls only 20% of Western Sahara, and it is not recognized by the international community. Only some Arab countries recognize them. But the Orumi Federation is a sovereign state. , If Western Sahara joins the Orumi Federation with the entire region, no one can tell what's wrong.

Then they will be a federal state. Imagine the Orumi Federation now and the Orumi Federation after acquiring Western Sahara. They will become an African power in one fell swoop. Although Western Sahara is a desert area where birds do not shit, it contains a lot of phosphate rock and oil.

Compared with Sub-Saharan Africa, North Africa has extensive deserts. Therefore, even if the area of ​​North Africa is large, it is not practical. It is difficult to compare with the grassland and forests of Sub-Saharan Africa. However, the coastline of North Africa is more than that of Sub-Saharan Africa. The value is much.

Because even if sub-Saharan Africa has a coastline, import and export trade is possible, but these places are often far away from the developed markets of Europe and North America. On the other hand, North Africa is only separated from southern Europe by the sea, and it is also very close to North America. The ocean and coastline are far more important than barren desert land.

Especially from a strategic point of view, the independence of Western Sahara will provide southern Algeria with the shortest route from the west to the Atlantic, so that the rich mineral resources of southern Algeria will be continuously transported through the Atlantic to the Americas to the rest of the world. "The Silver Wolf replied.

"I'm afraid there is another reason, because of the geographical problem. Controlling here will make them more recognized by the Americans. Controlling the coast of Western Sahara, they face the United States across the sea. Imagine the United States and Cuba. The relationship between the two countries has been fighting for so long, and finally they came together. Why is it because of the geographical relationship. Neither of them can be separated from each other." Jiang An nodded.

"Of course Western Sahara is not as close to the United States as Cuba, and the impact is so obvious." Silver Wolf replied, "but you can be sure. If they control Western Sahara, it means that they have an access to the Atlantic Ocean. Oil and resources. This can help the Orumi Federation completely get rid of the image of a small African country and become one of the most influential countries in Africa."

Lin Rui looked at Nightingale and said, "Then what information did you get?"

Nightingale opened the file to him, pointed to a photo, and looked at him, "This person is called Said, the current leader of the armed faction in Western Sahara. And another person, I believe you also know, Bai Bai Gloves-White. They have been in frequent contact recently to discuss the possibility of cooperation.

Relying on the forces and armaments provided by the secret society, Said has now controlled parts of Western Sahara. They will announce their acceptance of assistance from the Orumi Federation in the near future to jointly confront the extremists operating in Western Sahara. Then at an appropriate time, a referendum will be launched and directly join the Orumi Federation.

Just as we got the news, several armed groups in Western Sahara suddenly proposed to obey the leadership of Said. This Said has now become one of the largest forces in Western Sahara. We think this has something to do with the secret society organization. They are helping Said clean up other resistance. This also shows that their cooperation has officially begun. "

"It looks like it's another secret agency conspiracy." Lin Rui nodded, "but this has nothing to do with us. After all, no one will hire us this time. Without an employer, there will be no funds. Go out and fight with the secret society, right? This is what the brethren made by risking their lives."

"You didn't understand the seriousness of this matter. In Western Sahara, our company also has a lot of investment." Silver Wolf smiled bitterly, "You know that our income is good, but the expenses are not small. Brothers earned the property, It is impossible to put it in the bank. So it is usually taken out by the company to do investment projects, which can benefit from it according to the rules.

Western Sahara is where the company makes money for the brothers, and large sums of money are mainly invested in phosphate mines. At present, Said's dominance has hindered us, not to mention that after he officially cooperates with the secret agency, we will suffer heavy losses. "
