Chapter 1057 Copper Mines in Afghanistan, Oil in Iraq (1)

At the beginning, Saddam and Omar did not take this Chinese in their eyes, especially when this guy came to China to secretly purchase a large number of weapons production plans and related technical equipment. Attacking Afghanistan is simply nonsense to attack Iraq because of the oil pretext that the Saddam government possesses weapons of mass destruction.

If it weren't for him to match up, these bigwigs wouldn't even know the name of this Chinese.

Thanks to this greedy Chinese, Iraq can not only produce a lot of weapons and equipment on its own, but also has the ability to export these equipment to Afghanistan. Otherwise, where did the Taliban government that unified Afghanistan obtain a lot of weapons and equipment?

At this moment, Yugoslavia is being bombed by NATO countries headed by the United States. It will only take more than a year for the Americans to fight Afghanistan and less than four years for Iraq.

In such a short period of time, it is possible for a large country to make sufficient preparations, but for poor countries like Iraq and Afghanistan, it is impossible to prepare because they do not have much money.

Saddam had high hopes for the Kurdish armored division before the outbreak of the Iraq war. Yun Fei told the Iraqis that when faced with aerial bombing, the armored division had no counterattack capabilities at all.

In these years, testing the strength of the army is more than just war.

After so many years of exercises and deductions, Saddam also had to admit that without air superiority, his Kurdish armored division simply had no chance of winning.As for their air force, facing the best fighter group in the world, it will also become a gorgeous flower as soon as it takes off.

The Taliban have always been supported by Saddam, even if they export more weapons to them, it is impossible for Tania to persist in the war for long.In the end, the Taliban had no choice but to hide in the mountains.The Americans and the puppet government they support will continue to squeeze their living space.

Moreover, in the mountains, apart from growing poppies, they will not even have any financial resources.

There is no money, but a fart fight.

"Mr. Kurodin, in these matters, your domestic military experts should be much better than private bosses like me. Not to mention, it is conceivable to just say that there are several countries in the world that recognize the legitimacy of your Taliban government. Your situation in the war..." Yun Fei is really not optimistic about the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Why did Omar shelter al-Qaeda, why did he shelter Ben.**?

After all, it is because the whole of Afghanistan is too poor.This country does not produce oil, the only ore reserves are very rich.However, these ores are buried deep in the mountains and it is very difficult to mine them.Back then, the Soviet Union in Afghanistan only carried out small-scale mining of some world-class large mines, especially copper mines.

Finally, it was confirmed that the ore in this country is worth trillions of dollars.It's just that the mining costs are very high.

Ben.** is a world-class rich man with a net worth of more than one billion US dollars.After the al-Qaida organization in Ben.** was destroyed, at least 100 million U.S. dollars in military spending was funded by Omar during his escape in Afghanistan.At the same time, the two married each other's daughters at that time, and both became the other's father-in-law.

As for the legitimacy of the Taliban government, there are only three countries in the world. These three countries are the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia.Even Saddam, who has been secretly supporting Omar’s Taliban, did not recognize their government because he hated the Taliban’s political and religious policies.

"So, if you want to avoid a US strike, you Afghanistan has no other way than to let Ben.** remove the al-Qaeda base from your country. ** has gone crazy. It exploded from the U.S. Embassy in Kenya last year. At the beginning of the case, he has not only targeted the Americans..." The main reason for the American attack on Afghanistan was because the Taliban supported Al Qaeda.

But there is not only one Taliban government that supports Al Qaeda.

The Saudi royal family has absolutely a lot of support for the base, but they are rich in oil, and they hold American oil pipes.

Yun Fei really does not want Afghanistan to be occupied by the United States.After all, the Americans also followed this opportunity to intervene in Asian affairs.The more important thing is to encircle China.The United States not only intends to block China from the sea, but also hopes to completely surround China.

As long as there is no war, it will not be so easy for the United States to rent bases in Central Asia.The Chinese government is not really weak enough that others rent an air base behind its own buttocks, and can bomb idiots in China within minutes!

Talking about the country for the people is nonsense.

Yun Fei is willing to meet these Taliban for what he only knows.

The mountainous areas in the eastern part of Afghanistan have mineral resources worth trillions of dollars. What use are these things buried in the ground?The most important thing is to ship to China to make money for the big boss of Yun.For Iraq, Yun Fei has the same idea.

How can these things finally make Americans cheaper?

Iraq’s oil-for-food program was nothing more than an American sanction against Saddam in Iraq. Naturally, two barrels of oil from a Chinese state-owned company could not go to the Middle East, but Yun’s holdings had no problem.

Moreover, at that time, only a small amount of U.S. dollars will be needed for Iraq’s food.

"Mr. Yun, do you have any suggestions in this regard?" Kuler knew that Yunfei didn't say this to make them struggle.I must have already figured out the countermeasures.

"Well, it's not no way." Yun Fei pinched his chin with his hands and deliberately began to pretend to be deep.

It's just a pity that he didn't keep the beards of Ben.** and those bastards like Omar. Otherwise, it would be very effective to use it to pretend to be B.

"What's the solution?" Kulide asked eagerly.

After the outbreak of the war in Yugoslavia, the Taliban began to strengthen military training and imported more weapons and equipment from Iraq to prepare for the upcoming war.After all, although the jihad initiated by Ben.** was against the Americans, there were also many innocent deaths.

This is nothing to condemn for the Taliban government, but Ben. ** has now begun planning to bomb the United States. The magical Chinese prophecy is about to come true. It would be a bit strange if the Taliban could be calm.

"Mr. Kurodin, I am a businessman..." It is no good, why should we help you?"I helped Mauritania develop their country's economy. I got ore and oil. What can you give me?"

For the people in front of him, Yun Fei felt it necessary to enlighten them.

These things have to be brought forward by them.Otherwise, others will feel that they have cheated them.

Yun Fei believes that for international friends, he is definitely a very good person.At least it will not take them too much. This can be confirmed from within Mauritania.

"Mr. Yun, our country doesn't have any rich resources..." Kulding's face suddenly became gloomy when he heard Yun Fei's words.If they have very rich mineral resources or petroleum resources in their country, all this is not a problem.

This greedy Chinese boss made it clear that he was unwilling to help them.

Is it because they didn't buy some machinery and equipment of this Chinese boss?

"No, you have a lot of resources, but you are unwilling to develop it. Our group company is preparing to enter ore mining and ore smelting with all its strength, so it needs a lot of mines. Of course, your Akna copper mine was in the former Soviet Union. It has been explored..." Yun Fei said with a smile.

Yun Fei thought that his smile was very elegant, even surpassing Mona Lisa.

However, in the eyes of Keller and Kulleding who are not brothers, this smile is definitely the most evil smile in the world.

The Akna Copper Mine is located in Lugar Province, Afghanistan, only 35 kilometers southeast of the capital Kabul.The deposit is large in scale, high in ore grade, and good in resource prospects. It is currently one of the super large copper deposits in the world that has been proven but not yet developed.The total resource of the mine is 705 million tons of ore, with an average copper content of 1.56% and more than 10 million tons of copper metal.This mine has been explored in the former Soviet Union.Until China's MCC invested, this mine has become the world's largest open-pit copper mine.

It was because of the situation that the former Soviet Union did not develop.In the world of Yunfei, the consortium of China's MCC and another Chinese company won the bid in 2007.However, the price China paid for this was to invest 3 billion US dollars in five years, with an annual output of 220,000 tons of refined copper, and finally to 300,000 tons.Of course, this mine will eventually invest more than 10 billion U.S. dollars.

The Chinese have only 30 years of mining rights.

Now it's Yun Fei's turn for good things, how can he let it go?

As long as the Taliban government is not killed by the Americans, he will dare to invest.However, it is only two years away from 9.11, and he naturally does not think that he can earn back his investment in a short time.

Copper is much more expensive than iron.In China, a ton of the most common brass costs 60,000 to 70,000 yuan, and ore is also thousands of dollars a ton.These gadgets are easier to produce than iron, and what China lacks most is these gadgets.

As long as this copper mine is taken down and part of Iraq’s oil fields are taken, Yunfei doesn’t even have to look for other mines...
