Chapter 84 Massively Devastating the World
Chapter 84 Massively Devastating the World
The successful development of the Simandou iron ore mine is not due to the Guinean government's change of heart, but rather because East Asia's strength has grown to the point that certain countries dare not interfere anymore.
With its abundant talent pool, East Asia's strength and influence will naturally spill over to West Africa over time, at which point many problems will be easily solved.
Qin Rui couldn't wait any longer.
Since the end of the Libyan civil war, the [Evolution Value] has been slowly depleting. Although there are no immediate problems, the future is worrying if a way to resume growth cannot be found.
To paraphrase a stupid netizen: East Asia is waiting for the large-scale deployment of fifth-generation fighter jets and nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.
What is Qin Rui waiting for?
If Qin Rui doesn't take action, he'll only be waiting to die.
Does interfering in other countries' internal affairs increase evolution value?
Yuri also didn't understand how the system worked.
"We are helping our brotherly countries achieve true freedom; how can that be considered interference in other countries' internal affairs!"
Qin Rui spoke with righteous indignation.
Yuri gave Qin Rui a thumbs-up and didn't say anything more.
If we're talking about shamelessness, you're the one!
Qin Rui still has some sense of shame.
The truly shameless ones are the brazen new colonizers.
It is often said that in recent decades, Russia's low-priced energy, East Asia's cheap goods, and the United States' free security have contributed to Europe's happy life.
Few people pay attention to the situation in Africa.
Since the Age of Exploration, Africa has become Europe's backyard, with European powers engaging in human trafficking, forced labor, and resource plunder, committing all sorts of atrocities.
After World War II, with the support of the United States and Soviet Russia, African countries gained nominal independence, but in reality, they were continuously exploited by Europe through a new form of colonialism.
In the past, Europe established colonial governments in Africa and ruled directly.
Now, the government is supporting puppet governments to impose even more brutal exploitation on Africans.
During the colonial period, slaves were the property of slave owners.
In order to protect their property, slave owners ate meat while slaves at least had soup to drink so they wouldn't starve.
These puppets who are now being supported rake in money while in power, and then flee abroad after being overthrown in a coup, completely disregarding the lives of their own people.
Although Qin Rui may not be considered morally upright, he is at least a decent human being.
Rio Tinto spent $7 million to retain its mining rights in the southern section.
Where did this money go?
Has it been used for development within Guinea?
Libya purchased a communications satellite from East Asia for only $1.5 million.
$7 million can do a lot of things.
Earlier this year, Guinea experienced an Ebola outbreak, which killed more than 400 people.
Meanwhile, severe famine has also broken out in parts of Guinea.
The virus is understandable, given that sanitation standards are generally low in African countries.
Famine is utterly ridiculous.
Guinea is rich in resources and is known as a "geological wonder".
Let's leave the iron ore aside for now.
Guinea has 30% of the world’s proven bauxite reserves, as well as gold, diamonds, copper, uranium, cobalt, lead, zinc and other minerals, and oil has been discovered on its continental shelf.
Guinea is rich in water resources and is known as the "Water Tower of West Africa".
Guinea has a coastline of about 352 kilometers and relatively abundant coastal fishery resources, with an annual catch of about 500 million tons.
Guinea boasts the largest forest resources in West Africa, with forests covering 53.63% of its land area. It is a major producer of valuable timber such as mahogany and ebony.
It's utterly ridiculous that such a resource-rich country would experience a famine.
East Asia is like a nobleman's son who has fallen on hard times; he appears gentle and refined, but in reality, he is arrogant and looks down on everyone else.
Since Qin Rui is going to help his "brother," he needs to use strong medicine for a serious illness.
Given Mukhtar's performance, Qin Rui stopped trying to find partners within Guinea and instead directly exchanged a fully-ranked African officer from the system.
A company of fully-ranked African American soldiers.
Although these max-level soldiers came out fully equipped.
Qin Rui only gave each of them an AK74, and told them to figure out the rest themselves.
"Yuri, can you find a worse AK? The stock's paint's peeling off!"
Lansana Kamara was very dissatisfied.
Qin Rui was too lazy to come up with a name, so he named it half of the former Guinean president Lansana Condé and half of the name of Captain Dadis Camara, who launched the coup.
"Brother, that's the level of equipment the Guinean army has. In a country with a poverty rate of 60%, they simply can't afford night vision goggles or custom-made gun barrels."
Yuri burst into laughter.
"Guinea has enough bauxite and iron ore to mine for over a hundred years. Once you become president, you can nationalize all the bauxite and iron ore. Then you can use whatever you want, and there will be bread and milk available!"
Qin Rui gave Kamala a pep talk.
"Wouldn't direct nationalization lead to a situation like Libya, where it would be bombed by NATO forces?"
Kamala smiled and didn't seem too worried.
"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely issue a statement supporting the people of Guinea in achieving true democracy and freedom!"
Yuri stood tall and proud.
Kamara didn't say anything, but gave Yuri the middle finger in return.
That night, Kamara and 120 fully-equipped soldiers illegally crossed the border into Tunisia.
Two days later, Qin Rui saw Kamala in the news on Boboci.
"Since the 15th century, Guinea has suffered from the invasion of foreign colonists and has not been able to escape the situation of being enslaved and exploited to this day."
Guinea's resources were plundered, and the Guineans were enslaved;
Colonizers robbed us of our wealth, leaving behind disease and poverty;
Our poverty rate is as high as 80%, the illiteracy rate is as high as 90%, the infant mortality rate is 40%, and the average life expectancy is only 40 years.
This shouldn't be the fate of the Guineans!
Kamara not only announced the nationalization of all mineral resources in Guinea, but also demanded the withdrawal of French troops from Guinea and claimed that he would file lawsuits against relevant countries and companies in the International Court of Justice for the losses suffered by Guinea.
"Isn't this a bit too hasty?"
Qin Rui hadn't expected that launching a coup in Guinea would be so easy.
"Otherwise, should we do what you did, trying to outmaneuver a tiger and taking things slowly?"
Yuri was so brazen that he even dared to mock "Dad".
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
Qin Rui was enraged and embarrassed.
"You only see the suffering of our African brothers, but have you seen the lives of our American brothers who are at the bottom of society?"
Don't our American underclass brothers deserve the baptism of civilization?
Yuri spoke passionately, essentially telling Qin Rui to emulate the Zerg and massacre the world with his army.
But what will be the price?
The cost was that the system became overwhelmed and completely collapsed.
"America's problems are of its own making, and no one has an obligation to help them."
Qin Rui is cold-blooded.
If the American underclass revolts, Qin Rui will certainly go with the flow and help the American people gain true democracy and freedom.
But if even the Americans themselves aren't resisting, what can Qin Rui do?
This is not the Americans' fault.
After all, no American ancestors ever asked: "You all suffer day and night, can you cry the traitor to death?"
