Chapter 358 The Nord Stream pipeline was bombed, and South Africa’s gold shocked the world

South Africa, Rothschild Goldfields.

As a country in the Eastern Second District, it is six to seven hours behind the time of the Dragon Kingdom Imperial Capital, and it is dusk at this time.

As the saying goes, if you are poor, travel to Southeast Asia, if you are rich, go to Europe and America, and if you are rich, see Africa. This is definitely a place that can arouse the most primitive desires of human beings.

Of course.

Not lust, but hunting.

Anyone who has ever hunted knows that the thrill of squatting on the prey and killing the prey, as well as the adrenaline soaring during the waiting process, brings a pleasure that is incomparable to dopamine.

There is only one value in Africa, and that is money first.

Here you can spend one million U.S. dollars to hunt a lion, or you can spend five million U.S. dollars to hunt an elephant. All the animals you can see have clearly marked prices, and even humans can have clearly marked prices, as long as you can afford the price.

In addition to the most primitive animal nature, humans also have the desire to reproduce and feed themselves.

Needless to say, reproduction, let alone Africa, there are underground service places in every country. As for food and clothing, modern times have transformed it into something valuable.

to be honest.

It’s gold, diamonds, oil.

These things that can solve the problem of "subsistence and clothing" can be found in Africa. Even because of their own insufficient mining conditions, local African countries welcome global businessmen to invest in mining.

The three primitive desires of animality, reproduction, and food and clothing can all be satisfied. It is no wonder why Africa is called a playground for the rich.

Southwest South Africa.

Rothschild Gold Mine.

American New York Times reporter Sam Schild took a military pickup truck and finally arrived at the mine of the "whistleblower" after many twists and turns.

He and the photographer got out of the car and excitedly told the camera: "At six o'clock in the afternoon, South Africa time, we returned to this mysterious gold mine again. This time I made a bold decision to go down and take a look. Look inside a gold mine.”

"who?"

As soon as he introduced his purpose to the camera, several black guards holding AKs surrounded him, pointing their black guns directly at Sam Shields.

In such a "primitive" place, when faced with AK pointing at your head, the most effective way is to immediately raise your hand and explain clearly.

Sam Schild directly raised his hands and spoke in fluent English: "I know your leader, and we met in the morning."

"Squat down!"

"Hold your head with your hands and squat down!"

"Squat down, you damn white pig!"

The black guards obviously didn't understand and kept shouting with their guns raised.

The quarrel here also attracted a black leader to check the situation. When he saw that it was Sam Shields and his photographer, he immediately gave the black guards two whips and stopped them in the local language:

"You idiots, can't you see that this is the guest invited by the boss? We just came here this morning to take photos of the gold mine. You idiots, put down your guns quickly."

The words fell.

The muzzle of the held AK moved downwards.

The black guards who were kicked did not complain at all. In Africa, strength is the last word. If there are some people who talk about Jesus literature, 7.62 will teach them what the final destination is.

It is no exaggeration to say that what the nature of primitive human beings is like is what is presented here.

As for nature being inherently good?

These are almost three words of nonsense.

Throw two men and one woman into a desert island, and time will tell the world whether human beings' primitive instincts are evil or good. The reason why modern society is harmonious is because there are rules and regulations to restrain the dark side of people's hearts. Even professors with high literary literacy can't I dare not say that I am inherently good.

With the muzzles of the AKs collectively pointing down, the guard leader turned his eyes to Sam Shields and asked: "Dear guests, what is the purpose of your return?"

"We want to go down and see inside the gold mine, okay?" Sam Shields asked.

"this……"

The guard leader made no reply.

After pondering for a few seconds, he took out the walkie-talkie on his waist and said, "I want to ask for permission first, because this is a mine owned by a private investor, and it is not a good thing to allow others to mine in violation of regulations."

Just as he pressed the intercom button, a hearty voice came from behind him: "Sam Shields, my friend, why are you back?"

The appearance of Karl Rothschild made Sam Schild's eyes light up, and he immediately stated his intention: "We want to shoot a video of an underground gold mine. This will be explosive news. Look..."

"no problem."

Carl Rothschild readily agreed.

When Sam Shields came to South Africa on a business trip, he undoubtedly discovered large-scale gold mining sites, all of which were fueled by black hands.

If it were a normal situation, Sam Shields would have been washed away by 7.62 the moment he discovered the gold mining site.

But everything had been arranged, and everyone's goodwill toward him was just a show for the occasion.

As a recent graduate and an intern at the New York Times, Sam Schilder never knew that he had become a part of the plan.

In his opinion, the people of South Africa are simple and kind-hearted, and they do not burn, kill, and loot at every turn, as advertised.

After receiving the permission, Sam Schild geared up and said, "Then when will we go down to the mine?"

"immediately."

Karl Rothschild laughed.

Just after he finished speaking, he confirmed knowingly: "But I want to remind you that when you go into a gold mine, your personal safety cannot be guaranteed, because there is a danger of landslides at any time."

"I see."

"As long as you understand, let's go."

Karl Rothschild led the way, while Sam Schilder occasionally gave his explanations to the camera.

It seemed too crazy to him.

AK guards can be seen everywhere.

There are also ores that have just been transported, piled on one side of the camp, like waste rocks.

When Carl Rothschild and Sam Schild arrived inside the camp, after walking for a few minutes, they stopped in front of the lift.

"You can take the lift directly to the inside of the gold mine. I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you down. Hyena, you can be your guide." Carl Rothschild looked at the black leader.

"clear."

The hyena responded immediately.

Karl Rothschild did not go into the mine, and Sam Schild was ecstatic, so there would be more room for maneuver.

"Then let's go down and have a look. Brother Carl, thank you very much."

"Haha, it's a small thing."

Karl Rothschild laughed.

After a few people exchanged greetings, Sam Schild, the photographer, and the hyena took the elevator and descended into the mine.

When the three people completely disappeared in front of them, the smile hanging on the corner of Carl Rothschild's lips immediately faded, and he said with an indifferent expression: "I am only a fool to accompany you into the mine."

As a member of the Rothschild family, he was born to enjoy the world. He wished he could use 48 of the 24 hours in a day. Life is so pleasant.

Go down to the mine?

Or is there a risk of collapse in the mine?

He only goes down when his brain is crazy. Isn't this just making fun of his own life?

Besides, if he didn't go down, it would be convenient for Sam Schild to go to the restricted area to take pictures. He had also given instructions to the hyena to guide Sam Schild to the restricted area intentionally or unintentionally.

Although Carl Rothschild didn't know the family's intentions and why they sent reporters here, he didn't need to ask. The patriarch was his belief and the source of his power and wealth. He only needed unconditional support.

This is like the ancient eunuchs of the Dragon Kingdom. Their power came from the emperor. The eunuch group naturally wanted the emperor to control the government and the public more than anyone else. The more concentrated the emperor's power was, the more their power would naturally increase.

If the emperor can't speak up, who will regard the eunuch group as a human being?

This is the principle of beating a dog to see its owner.

Going down to the inside of the mine, Sam Schilder looked at the huge entrance and the faint golden color of the surrounding walls. He couldn't help but touch it and said, "Are these also gold?"

“It’s already mined out here.”

Hyena responded.

This sentence made Sam Shields feel incredible. He just clicked a button and found a gold particle one-tenth the size of the tip of his little finger. Do you think this has been mined?

ah? ? ?

Finished mining? ? ?

It's just a tiny bit, about 1-2 grams.

"Let's go inside."

Hyena had no explanation.

He had mined here before and knew how big this gold mine was. It was no exaggeration to say that this was an underground gold mountain.

Sam Shields silently threw away the gold nuggets, fearing that his secret collection would be discovered.

Then he followed the hyena's footsteps and entered the inside of the mine. Mining lights had been installed above, and the walls on both sides had a faint golden glow under the light.

can not imagine.

Before going down into the mine, Sam Shields couldn't imagine it at all.

If he was allowed to drive away with a truck, he would probably never know what poverty means in his life.

The three people walked around and around and arrived at the first mining point. Inside, there were more than 20 black miners using pickaxes and impact drills to mine gold mines. There was no top support at all.

This means that during the mining process of gold mines, the top stones can easily be pressed down, causing mining accidents.

But no one seems to care here. Black miners have never seen a mine with top support. In private mines in South Africa, there is no support, because the money saved by not using support is enough to compensate thousands of black miners. life.

"This is the newly mined gold ore." The hyena came to the transport truck and picked up the fist-sized gold ore nugget inside.

Sam Shield quickly approached, and he was suddenly shocked and speechless.

Gold ore the size of a fist is actually quite small. There are gold ores as big as a human head, and it has filled three full trucks. The photographer also quickly recorded it.

"Is this crazy?"

Sam Shelder couldn't help but sigh.

He watched for a few minutes and saw the pickaxe placed on the ground. He looked at the hyena and said, "Can I try mining?"

"certainly."

The hyena shrugged.

Sam Schild picked up the pickaxe and smashed it against the wall of the mining site. The force feedback made his arms numb. However, when he hit the pickaxe, gold appeared on the wall. It was a piece of gold the size of a head. The ore, destroyed by the pickaxe, revealed the golden color inside.

"You're in luck."

The hyena quickly stepped forward to praise.

The moment he saw the gold, Sam Sherder's human desire for "food and clothing" was aroused. He dropped dozens of pickaxes in a row. The tiger's mouth turned red and he was breathing heavily. However, the gold ore also fell, leaving Sam Sherder. Without taking any rest, De immediately picked up the gold mine and checked it quickly.

"This is crazy. It weighs at least forty or fifty kilograms. If calculated according to refining, only twenty kilograms are left, which is 10,000 grams. The current international gold price is 1,236 US dollars per ounce. In my hands This gold mine is worth $430,000, which is crazy.”

Sam Shields keeps talking about madness.

Only when he came to South Africa did he realize that it wasn't that he didn't love money in the past, but that he didn't have the opportunity to come into contact with it.

It is no exaggeration to say that now he wants to take this piece of gold ore away, because 420,000 US dollars is his salary for ten years.

Earn ten years' salary in ten minutes, no one can resist this temptation.

But Sam Shields is not stupid either. There are guards with guns everywhere in the gold mines. If you try to rob them openly, you will have to spend the money at the expense of your life.

The photographer recorded the whole process, and he swallowed hard while filming.

"Shall we continue to go inside? Or go back up?" The hyena asked looking at the panting Sam Shields.

"Can we still go inside?"

Sam Shields was stunned.

The hyena shrugged and said with an indifferent expression: "Of course, we are the only ones here, aren't we?"

Naturally, Sam Schild heard the overtone and quickly expressed his intention to go inside. When the three of them left the mining site and entered the long tunnel, Sam Schild secretly stuffed a wad of US dollars into the hyena, which amounted to about three thousand dollars. Many dollars.

Three thousand US dollars here is definitely a huge sum of money. As the hyena put it in his pocket, he led the two of them directly to the fork in the road, and then walked into the mine on the left.

ten minutes later.

Sam Shields and the photographer were dumbfounded.

"Omaika, my God!"

"What did I see?"

The two of them were stunned as they looked at the scene in front of them, because in front of them was a mine with real exposed pure gold ore. There was a huge exposed gold ore of tens of meters on the right side, which made Sam Shelder couldn't help but step forward and touch it. .

"crazy!"

"too crazy!"

"You can't see the bottom at all."

This mining area was so terrifying. Sam Schild had never seen so much gold. There was gold in all directions here. Even after walking hundreds of meters inside, it still looked like this. This amazing reserve made them exclaim.

The hyena looked at the stunned two people and reminded: "Don't say that I brought you here. This is our secret."

"Of course."

Sam Shields responded quickly.

He couldn't even imagine how ridiculous the world's gold price would fall if this place was exposed.

As far as the eye can see, there are gold mines all over it, and they stretch for hundreds of meters.

The photographer kept taking pictures, and neither of them noticed the smile on the corner of the hyena's mouth or his eyes. He seemed to be looking at two fools.

And on the other side.

Nordic region.

As African countries continue to fall into darkness, Northern Europe has just reached noon at this time, and in the Baltic Sea, Mao Xiong is dispatching warships to perform daily patrols.

Since the Baltic Sea is an important maritime trade hub in Northern Europe, there are many ships sailing here, and they naturally need to be escorted.

The surrounding countries are all small Nordic countries and their maritime power is weak.

As a major importing country, Mao Xiong's trade with the Nordic countries is the main source of its domestic economy, so it will dispatch warships from time to time to perform maritime patrol missions.

Just when the Mao Xiong soldiers thought that today was another calm day, a sudden loud noise caused the entire warship to shake.

"Enemy attack enemy attack!"

"Everyone, get ready for battle!"

"Who attacked our warship?"

There was another loud noise, and the entire sea surface continued to shake. Some soldiers on the warship's plywood had accidentally fallen into the sea.

At this time, the entire sea area was shaking, like the roar of an approaching storm.

After the warship came to a stop, the Mao Xiong soldiers just wanted to check the damage, but when they looked at the sea, they were dumbfounded. There was a large amount of white foam on the sea, and the surrounding sea was filled with the stench of natural gas.

"Oh my God!"

"In the end what happened?"

The soldiers were collectively stunned.

When the captain stepped out of the plywood to check the situation in the sea, he was also shocked by the scene in front of him. The entire sea was filled with white foam, accompanied by the stench of natural gas.

Just when they were at a loss, a merchant ship happened to pass through the sea area, and someone happened to record the scene.

The merchant ship sailed for half an hour and docked at a nearby port.

A large number of media outlets received news claiming that Mao Xiong blew up the Nord Stream pipeline, causing a massive natural gas leak, and even took photos of Mao Xiong's warship.

For a while.

Countless media flocked to the event.

In less than half an hour, the Swedish Internet exploded.

"The Nord Stream Pipeline was blown up. Is Mao Xiong going to end the deal with Northern Europe?" 》

"The latest hot news, the Beixi natural gas transportation pipeline was blown up, and the Mao Xiong warship was photographed performing a maritime mission! 》

"Sternly condemn the woolly bear's approach, destroying the Nord Stream pipeline is anti-humanity! 》

The continuous bombardment of media news not only exposed thousands of netizens, but also exposed the commander-in-chief of the United States in Northern Europe.

When he was interviewed by the media, he couldn't help but regretted: "We are deeply puzzled and confused by what the Mao Xiong military has done. The Nord Stream pipeline is not only the lifeline of the Nordic people, but also a means for them to resist the cold. We express Severely condemn and advise Mao Xiong to respond as soon as possible, otherwise we will adopt corresponding strategies to retaliate!”

With these words, the Commander-in-Chief of the US Army in Northern Europe pointed at Mao Xiong’s nose and said, this is the Beixi Pipeline that you sent warships to blow up.

Now not only the Nordic media are reporting on it, but the ABC, New York Times, and Washington Daily News in the United States are also grabbing the front page headlines, and social media platforms such as Little Blue Bird and Facebook are also reporting on it.

In just one hour, the entire West already knew that Mao Xiong sent warships to blow up the Beixi Pipeline. As for why, no one knew the answer, and no one cared. They only cared about the Beixi Pipeline.

[Debbie Martin]: "This is crazy. The Nord Stream pipeline is an important natural gas transmission pipeline. If Mao Xiong doesn't want to fulfill the contract, the supply will be stopped at worst, so why should it be blown up?"

[Miloš Minic]: "This is a waste of human life. If it cannot be repaired in winter, the temperature of tens of degrees below zero is enough to kill hundreds of thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled. The furry bears are murdering!"

[Joseph Kantar]: "This is an act against humanity. We severely condemn the furry bear's behavior and the pipeline must be repaired immediately!"

Countless people in the West are condemning this, and they stand on the moral high ground.

As they said, the Nord Stream Pipeline is an important natural gas transmission pipeline in Northern Europe and a guarantee of people's lives.

This is like the north of the Dragon Kingdom. If there is no heating supply, how can ordinary people withstand the extreme cold of minus ten or twenty degrees, or even thirty or forty degrees?

Even if there are ways to keep warm and accumulate food for the winter, life is still inconvenient.

The same is true in the Nordic region, which has extremely cold weather and relies entirely on natural gas to survive the winter. It is now June, and there are still four to five months before the weather will turn colder. By then, you can rely on your "righteousness" to resist the extremely cold weather.

Just when Western netizens were denouncing the furry bear, the New York Times published an exclusive news story with the eye-catching title "South Africa's Super Gold Mine Exposed," which attracted a large number of people to read it.

Gold mine photos.

Gold Mine Video.

Gold mine forecast data.

Expert analysis.

The New York Times has all arranged it, and experts have come up with a surprising guess.

That is this mysterious gold mine hidden in southwestern South Africa, with at least 100,000 tons of gold stored underground.

He not only analyzed the geographical location, but also analyzed it from the inside of the mine where the video was shot, making it impossible to find any flaws.

In an instant.

American netizens exploded.

[Thomas Corwin]: "What the hell, has the world finally gone crazy? Or is someone trying to cover up the Nord Stream pipeline with gold mines?"

[Stanley Allin]: "100,000 tons? Doesn't it mean that the current gold reserves of mankind are 240,000 tons, and it accounts for nearly half?"

[Miguel Quiroga]: "Is it possible that gold and diamonds are both scams. In fact, there are a large number of gold mines that have not been exposed, just like the De Beers Consolidated Mining Company, which was monopolized?"

The news about the super gold mine in South Africa spread like a plague, and the international gold price also plunged in panic.

The international gold price dropped from 1,236 US dollars per ounce to 1,226 US dollars per ounce in the blink of an eye. In the blink of an eye again, it fell to 1,200 US dollars per ounce. Gold merchants around the world were selling in a panic.

Originally, because of the interest rate hike on the U.S. dollar, the world was using gold to maintain its value.

However, the sudden appearance of the "Super Gold Mine in South Africa" ​​put gold at risk of sudden depreciation. Coupled with the bombing of the Nord Stream pipeline, the US dollar index soared into the sky like a rocket.

Both those who have liquidated their positions and those who have not liquidated their positions understand that apart from the US dollar, nothing else in this world should be overly trusted.

As the U.S. dollar strengthens, the U.S. becomes stronger. Those small countries that were only hanging on for a breath under the impact of U.S. dollar interest rate hikes finally can no longer hold on. Domestic funds are flowing out at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And in the deep city of Dragon Kingdom.

Longxing Technology Headquarters Base.

Chen Xing had already negotiated with several representatives of the Neon Island Country. Both parties had even invited lawyers and were drafting a contract.

But halfway through the process, the phone of Jiro Anno, the Minister of Communications of the Neon Island Country, rang. He took out his phone, his pupils immediately shrank, he looked at Chen Xing, and he quickly apologized: "I'm very sorry, I need to answer a call. "

"He needs to take a call."

Sumie Miyazaki translated for him.

Chen Xing, who was originally discussing with the lawyer, nodded slightly and said, "Please do so."

"Please."

Sumie Miyazaki translated again.

After receiving permission, Anno Jiro quickly got up and ran to the corridor outside the door. When he came to the corner, he pressed the answer button.

Before he could speak, the person on the other end of the phone urgently stated the matter.

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

Jiro Anno nodded continuously, his expression becoming more solemn, and then he hurried back to the office, interrupted everyone who was drafting the contract and said: "The situation has changed, terminate the contract!"
