Rebirth of England

At present, in the offshore oil fields of Colo, in addition to the original Block 1, Blocks 2 and 3 have been discovered next to it. The total proven oil reserves of these three blocks have reached 2 billion tons. , are already under development.

In addition to COSL's cooperation with COSL, which has mobilized more than five free or leased drilling platforms to carry out drilling operations in this area, Colo Petroleum has also established its own oil production department and has purchased Two drilling rigs are operating.

And at the beginning of this year, Colo Petroleum Company also ordered 10 drilling platforms and offshore operation platforms from China's Darien Shipyard in one go, and deliveries have begun one after another in the second half of this year...

So far, with the commissioning of one offshore oil well after another, the daily output of the Colo offshore oil field has exceeded 1.5 million barrels per day!

At the beginning of this year, the price of North Sea Brent crude oil reached 60 US dollars per barrel, and now, its price has reached a maximum of more than 78 US dollars. Although the current oil price is slightly lower than the 78 US dollars per barrel price. has fallen, but even based on the average price of US$70 and a daily production of 1.5 million barrels, the annual income from just selling these crude oil can exceed US$38 billion!

Of course, there will be considerable costs in the extraction and transportation of crude oil, but as oil prices continue to rise and the production of the Colo offshore oil field continues to increase, it can bring benefits to the Colo government, the West African Group and the United Energy Group Profits will continue to increase.

The most profitable among them is the Colo government. Through special taxes and holdings in Colo Petroleum Company, they are able to share more than half of the crude oil profits, which also provides ample funds for the development of Colo.

"With investment in medical and health care, we have begun to promote the 'National Cleanliness and Hygiene' campaign throughout the country of Kolo. First, we will improve environmental sanitation and the development of good personal hygiene habits in the city. This also makes us The incidence of various diseases, especially infectious diseases, has dropped dramatically..."

Jaime Bongo introduced Prince Andrew and Barron.

As mentioned before, as of 2003, malaria was the leading cause of illness (46%) and the leading cause of death (12.26%) among all age groups in Kolo.

As of 2003, the HIV infection rate was as high as 5%, and the mother-to-child transmission rate was 35%!

In addition, tuberculosis is also one of the great threats faced by the public in Kolo...

As early as 2004, Kolo received an interest-free loan of 2 billion Chinese dollars from China, most of which was invested in improving Kolo's overall medical and health care.

At that time, they purchased a large amount of drugs and equipment from China, and with China's assistance, they established a medical school.

Thanks to their efforts, the incidence of malaria in Kolo has been reduced to less than 10%, and the new HIV infection rate has been controlled within 2%. They have also carried out universal vaccination against frequently-occurring diseases such as tuberculosis. Vaccination.

During Jammeh Bongo's trip to China this year, he not only reached a series of purchasing cooperation orders with them, but also received another assistance from China in the field of medical and health care.

Huaxia will accept international students from Colo in batches, mainly in petroleum, medicine, civil engineering and other related disciplines.

In addition, they will jointly establish a local vaccine production base with Kolo to help Kolo achieve its goal of eliminating malaria, tuberculosis and other diseases nationwide within five years.

The next day, Barron and his party passed the Loda Expressway and headed from Lodi to the capital Bulita.

At present, more than two-thirds of the Luoda Expressway has been completed, and it is expected that it will be fully open to traffic before the end of this year.

The first section to be built was the section from Loti to Bulita. After the highway and railway were completed in this section, the transportation of materials was greatly accelerated, and the construction of the new capital Bulita began to be accelerated.

The distance from Loti to Bulita is about 300 kilometers. After getting on the highway, you can reach the exit of Bulita in two and a half hours.

Along the way, in addition to the bodyguard team brought by Barron himself, the convoy was also followed by military vehicles from the Colo Corps. There were even armed helicopters accompanying Barron in the sky along the way. It can be said that Barron's Security and defense are the best.

Although it is said that no one in Kolo would go crazy and attack Barron, the British Duke, and the members of the British royal family who were traveling with him - no one could bear the anger of the British side after these two people had an accident.

But there is still a need to prevent any accidents from happening.

Jamei Bongo also made special arrangements. After their convoy got off the highway, more than a dozen police motorcycles lined up in arrows to clear the way in front of the convoy.

Behind the convoy, two more police cars followed, escorting them with their police lights on all the way.

And on the way to the Presidential Palace, martial law was enforced, and no other vehicles or people were seen.

Speaking of which, this is the first time Barron has seen the appearance of the new capital city of Colo on the ground - before that, all he had seen was a rendering of the new city of Britta.

"Wow, this city looks good, very neat, like a European city."

Looking out at the city scenery from the car window with great interest, Prince Andrew couldn't help but exclaimed in admiration.

This was the first time he praised this place so sincerely after coming to Kolo. Whether it was a polite compliment or not, it was easy to tell from his expression.

"It's really good. I hope Brita can become a model of modern cities in West Africa."

Barron also affirmed the construction of Brita.

After all, it is a well-planned new city, and most of the people who can move here are government officials and employees of large enterprises. Even ordinary people are allowed to live in this city after Kolo has screened them. Therefore, although Brita does not seem to have the lively scene of Lottie now, the city appearance is very good, and there are no dirty and messy slums.

However, even in Lottie, after the construction of the new city area is completed, it will start to renovate the old city area, improve various public facilities, and demolish the slums. It is also because Kolo is slowly getting richer that they will provide low-rent housing for ordinary people in the old city area of ​​Lottie. Although the area will not be too large, it will be much better than the shacks in the slums before.

Because this trip to Africa is very tight, Prince Andrew will only stay in Kolo for two days, and then he will go to Kolo's neighboring country Ghana, and will separate from Barron and his party.

After Andrew completed his official visit to the Kolo government, Barron hosted a banquet for him at his home in Britta.

It is a high-rise building called Jupiter Building, located in the high-end residential area of ​​Britta closest to the commercial district. It is a residence built by Golden Africa Real Estate Group specifically for Barron.

Jupiter Building is 50 meters high and has a total of 11 floors. It has a large swimming pool, a private cinema, a large gym, a family hospital, etc. In addition to more than 15 living rooms and guest rooms, there is also an observation deck and a sky garden, and a helicopter pad on the roof.

It can be said to be the most luxurious residence in the entire Britta.
