The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

When the war broke out in Africa, Gaddafi took a very tough stance. He allowed Arabs to enter but banned blacks from entering.

To this end, Gaddafi also sent troops to build a defense line and drive out illegal immigrants.

Millions of African refugees died in the vast desert, but Gaddafi remained indifferent.

Algeria was different because most of its energy was exported to Europe and it had close ties with the European economy and was greatly influenced by Europe. In addition, Algeria was also in turmoil at that time, so Algeria did not take any measures against the refugees, resulting in at least 20 million refugees pouring into Algeria.

Even now, according to incomplete statistics, there are more than 10 million refugees in Algeria.

You have to know that Algeria has a population of only 30 million.

Ten million refugees is equivalent to one-third of Algeria's population.

This resulted in Algeria's own food production being insufficient and it had to import large amounts of food.

Coupled with the unrest and the numerous conflicts caused by refugees, Algeria has experienced slow or even negative economic growth for many years.

Only in recent years, with the rise in energy prices, has Algeria's life become better.

But Algeria is still suffering from the suffering of refugees.

Even though the war has stopped now, these refugees have no intention of returning to their original countries.

The presence of many European and American journalists in Algeria has also prevented Algeria from taking tough measures to expel illegal refugees.

Because of these refugees, the relationship between Algeria and its neighboring countries Morocco and Tunisia was once very tense, because the refugees going to Morocco and Tunisia basically passed through Algeria.

Morocco and Tunisia have suffered greatly from refugees, and even now, public security is still very poor.

Due to the African refugee issue, riots have broken out in Tunisia many times and social security has not improved for a long time.

The same situation also occurred in Morocco.

Chen Ming left Libya and arrived in Algeria.

This time he came to Algeria because an exploration team discovered a gold mine in a place in Algeria, with an estimated yield of 60 tons. According to Chinese standards, this is already a large-scale gold mine.

Moreover, the gold content of this gold mine reaches 18 grams per ton, so the profits involved can be imagined.

Most of the gold mines discovered in these places will belong to the explorers, and at most a portion will be distributed to various parties.

Based on the current international gold price, this gold mine is worth approximately US$13.5 billion.

It can be said that the benefits are huge enough to make Chen Ming make a special trip.

Chen Ming came to a mountain. It was very remote and almost uninhabited. No one could have imagined that there was such a large gold mine here.

But this is normal. Two-thirds of Algeria's territory has not been fully explored or explored, so it is normal to discover any minerals.

Last year, the mercenary group discovered a large iron mine in Algeria, which contains 10 billion tons of iron ore. According to the current iron ore price, it is worth about 10 billion US dollars.

"You Wild Wolves have made great contributions this time. I will report to the headquarters in detail. What belongs to you cannot be taken away by anyone!" Chen Ming said, holding a telescope in his hand, "You must keep it confidential during this period and do a good job of security protection."

Chen Ming knew very well that such a large gold mine was of very good quality. Once the news got out, it would definitely attract many people.

In the country, there are laws!
What is law here? How many divisions does it have? In the African continent, so far, it seems that there are countries, but in fact most countries are still in the tribal era. The tribes are within the scope, and the words of the tribal chiefs are more effective than those of the president.

The number of people who can truly be considered as the country’s property can be counted on two hands.

It is not surprising that this gold mine could trigger a war.

Over the years, the mercenary group has fought many wars just to protect their own interests.

"I understand!" Yang Rong nodded.

Yang Rong is the leader of a mercenary group, the famous "Wild Wolf Mercenary Group".

The reason why it was named "Wild Wolf Mercenary Group" was because the first leader came from the "Wild Wolf Special Forces", and then the name has been passed down.

There is also a group called the "Wolf Warrior Mercenary Group", also because the first leader came from the "Wolf Warrior Special Forces".

Every mercenary group has its own roots that can be traced back to the original troops.

The mercenary groups in Africa have set up three headquarters according to the region, namely the North African Mercenary Command, the Central African Mercenary Command, and the South African Mercenary Command. The North African Mercenary Command was originally headquartered in Egypt, but later moved to Egypt; the Central African Mercenary Command was originally located in Tanzania, but later moved to Djibouti; the South African Mercenary Command was originally in Zambia, but later moved to the Kingdom of Comoros.

Chen Ming is the head of the North African mercenary headquarters. There are currently 30 mercenary groups in North Africa, with more than 3 mercenaries alone. Together with other staff, there are about 4 people.

In all of Africa, there were about 9 mercenaries, and if all mercenaries were included, the total number would exceed 20.

Among them, they have the most mercenaries, the most powerful forces, and the most friends. The second is the polar bears, who have about 5 mercenaries in Africa. They are really ruthless and have massacred entire tribes more than once or twice. The United States has about 3 mercenaries in Africa, and the third is the European mercenaries, about 2.

The rest are local African mercenaries and some free mercenaries. The total number of mercenaries exceeds 20.

Africa is also the place with the most mercenaries.

In a sense, mercenaries are the elites of Africa.

Mercenaries are definitely a high-income group in Africa.

Even the mercenaries belonging to the Panshan Group, mercenaries in Africa, have a basic salary of 1 yuan. If they carry out missions, they will receive allowances, and if they kill the enemy, they will receive bonuses.

Like this, discovering mineral deposits will also receive rewards, and the rewards are very substantial.

This is also to encourage everyone to be brave in killing the enemy and actively discover mineral deposits.

Chen Ming and Yang Rong discussed military deployment. Important locations must be deployed in advance. For mineral deposits like this, if deployed well, it would be difficult to capture them even with a few hundred people defending them and tens of thousands of people attacking them. They can hold out until reinforcements arrive.

When it comes to marching and fighting, they are absolutely professional and much better than free mercenaries.

In terms of weapons and equipment, freelance mercenaries cannot compare.

When necessary, mercenaries can even mobilize tanks and armored units to fight.

It's just that kind that is rare, very rare.

Yang Rong and his men not only have to guard against the local forces in Algeria, but also have to be wary of other mercenaries.

These mercenaries are willing to do anything for profit, and their combat effectiveness is very strong, even stronger than the regular troops of Algeria. (End of this chapter)
