Rebirth of England

Chapter 249 West African Mining

In fact, although it was cooperating with the Protector Military Company, the Colo Liberation Front was not without some care at the beginning.

The gold mine that the Protector Military Company exchanged for the weapons it supported was close to the area controlled by the Colo Liberation Front and the other two rebel groups.

That is to say, after the attack that caused Melvin Coy's legs to be injured and they dealt with it, they learned that the Protector Military Company was very well-equipped, so the neighboring Free Colo Alliance became honest for a while. Even if there is a conflict with the Kolo Liberation Alliance, they will avoid the Munger base, where the gold mine is located.

Although it is said that after the civil war in Colo began, due to the "gentleman's agreement" between the two parties, the Colo Liberation Front will not harass the areas controlled by the other two anti-government armed forces for the time being. Sheikh Hassan, the leader of the Colo Liberation Front, was smart enough not to agree immediately to seize territory in areas where government forces were located. Instead, he first waited and waited.

It has to be said that those who can survive the continuous melee are not too reckless.

Those who were reckless would have been eliminated long ago.

But everyone understands the black guys to some extent, and their patience is only marginal.

However, after seeing that they entered the central area controlled by the government forces, the two anti-government armed forces, the Free Colo Alliance and the Colo Resistance Army, turned out to be "unstoppable" and occupied most of the central area at once. They have begun to clamor for "fight." "Enter the capital and capture Nassin Dema alive", Sheikh Hassan could no longer sit still and was ready to raise troops to join the "Demonstration Alliance".

Otherwise, he is really afraid that if those two families really break into the capital, occupy Dayi, and most importantly get sophisticated equipment from the government army, then his own Colo Liberation Front will not be able to drink the soup.

After all, this idea is not outrageous. After all, in the past, Kolo also had a history of successful coups with two to three hundred soldiers...

Those two families combined have two to three thousand soldiers. What if the "leaking out" is really successful?

Although Sheikh Hassan cannot "steal" from the other two rebel groups for the time being because of "righteousness", but if he really leads troops to use the road to seize territory from the government forces, Sheikh Hassan I am also afraid that I will be "stolen" after being stopped by the other two families.

Therefore, after much thought and seeing the good situation of the anti-government forces at this time, Sheikh Hassan made a decision. He sent someone to find Markel Paulson, the person in charge of the Munger base. I want to buy another batch of arms from the Protector Military Company. After all, Brother Hei also knows that "the sword is sharpened before the wood is chopped", and the military government's equipment is better than theirs, although it seems that the other two anti-government armed forces currently do not He received too much resistance, but he didn't feel confident just going out like this.

In addition, he hopes that the Protector Military Company will help him let go of the border with the areas controlled by the other two anti-government armed forces to prevent the other party from "stealing" his home.

Of course, they don't have much money, but Kolo still has a lot of resources.

Speaking of which, Kolo has more than ten proven mineral resources, including gold, phosphate, limestone, barite, dolomite, kyanite, garnet, quartz sand, uranium, manganese, and bauxite. wait.

Among them, phosphate and iron ore reserves are relatively large.

After all, Kolo is the third largest phosphate producer in sub-Saharan Africa.

Proven high-quality phosphate ore reserves are 260 million tons, recoverable reserves are 82 million tons, and contain a small amount of carbonate ore of about 1 billion tons!

However, most of these phosphate mines are located in the offshore area south of Colo, which is within the control of government forces.

For example, the Colo Liberation Front is mostly a grassland area. As for mineral deposits, in addition to the gold mine they gave to the Protector Military Company last time, they also have several mineral deposits in their hands, including two diamond mines and another Gold mines, these mineral deposits are also the current main source of income for the Colo Liberation Front.

This time Sheikh Hassan gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, preparing to transfer one of his diamond mines to the West African Mining Company of the Protector Military Company - a company registered by Barron to mine the gold mine.

Anyway, from his point of view, he couldn't bear to let go of the child without trapping the wolf. As for the mineral deposits, Kolo still had them. Maybe there would be more mines in the territory he occupied this time.

After all, although they now have a few mineral deposits, the reserves are not high, and it seems that they will not be able to mine them for a few years.

The real profit source is the phosphate mines in the south near the sea. Those mines are larger in scale and more suitable for large-scale development.

This time Markle Paulson contacted Barron through his intelligence adviser Nigel Inkster to ask for his boss’s opinion.

Of course, Barron suggested agreeing to this, so that on the one hand they could expand their interests in Colo, and on the other hand, they could also take the opportunity to recruit more local armed personnel.

Although Africa's excellent regional matching mechanism makes it difficult for the troops here to take action.

But that’s not to say that there are really no available military personnel. Although the 100 local armed personnel selected by the Protector Military Company were somewhat inferior to the former British veterans in terms of personnel quality - mainly In terms of discipline, Brother Hei is really lazy.

But after such a long period of training, and the treatment provided by the Protector Military Company, it is much better than those of local armed organizations, so they can choose the best.

Overall, the performance is pretty good.

In this way, after obtaining the diamond mine, according to their plan, they will recruit about 100 retired soldiers from the local area and another 200 local black guys. After rigorous training, they should be enough to guard these two mines, and also provide Kolo with The Liberation Front "keeps the home".

Currently in Iraq, the British army is also gradually withdrawing some troops to the homeland. By next year, the scale of withdrawal will be larger.

Therefore, it is not difficult to recruit retired soldiers locally. On the contrary, the British government will be grateful to them for helping solve the problem.

And in terms of arms, like the black brothers, they definitely don’t need the standard equipment of the British army. Just buy them AK and enough ammunition, plus some RPGs and cheap artillery. It is enough...

Speaking of which, the arms business is really promising.

It's just that the people in Kolo that the Protector Military Company currently faces are not large in scale, and they are really incomparable to those big arms dealers.

"In addition, we should pay attention to the civil war in Kolo. I am afraid that at the beginning, the anti-government forces just caught the government forces by surprise. When they reacted, the real war began."

"Yes, this is consistent with our analysis. Currently, the total size of the Kolo government forces exceeds 5,000, and they also have certain air force and naval capabilities. Overall, they are stronger than the three anti-government forces combined."

This is also normal. Otherwise, the government troops would not have been able to occupy the best part of Kolo for so many years and suppress the rebels in the remote north.

"At that time, if the rebels are defeated too badly, they can contact the other two companies and provide them with weapons and equipment."

This is why those arms dealers like to fight. How can they sell arms without fighting?
