Chapter 404 When two giant companies fall in love with the same thing

The boss of Roxon Energy is not a fool, but a greedy and cunning guy.

He has a monopoly on all oil, so of course he would like everyone to have an almost addictive need for oil and never be able to get rid of it.

But technically speaking, the cost of oil will rise as existing reserves decrease, and sooner or later humans will have to look for alternative energy sources.

That’s why CEO Dario chose the company’s registered name to be an “energy company” instead of an oil company.

Oil is just the choice of the current era. What he wants to do is actually to monopolize all energy and the power that drives society.

If we were in the Stone Age, Daario would definitely try to monopolize all the torches of primitive people.

[Lille: Facts have proved that our opponent is not addicted to oil. After completing the company integration, this company has begun to try to monopolize the production of nuclear raw materials. 】

[Lille: We have the support of the African Union, but their Uranium Ten Company is a state-owned enterprise, and this country may be inclined to establish a good relationship with Lockson. 】

[Lille: The most terrifying thing in an acquisition case is that both you and your competitor are rich, because in this way, everyone will never be able to decide the winner in the bidding, and it will evolve into something else. Determine ownership]

[Otto: Are you saying they will attack us directly because of this? But.】

But this is unreasonable!

Aren't they afraid of being attacked by the public?

As soon as such a question appeared in Otto's mind, he was interrupted by his hesitation: Are they really afraid? Is this logic really unreasonable?

In the virtual space, Lear lowered his head slightly and walked back and forth.

[Lear: I have sent an email to Uranium 10, but their response was not very good. 】

[Lille: On the other hand, because uranium prices have not reached expectations, they decided to postpone mining a few years ago. They have not officially started mining yet, and naturally have not paid the relevant fees. 】

[Lille: So the African Union and the Tanzanian government are considering canceling their mining rights. 】

The whole story is very clear.

Everyone’s expressions became weird——

As people from the Berry Country, they clearly discovered the source of the strangeness in their hearts:

In theory, there's nothing wrong with complying with state laws, after all, it's all written in the contract.

But if the mining volume is not up to standard, it can be transferred to the next company for them to maintain. Now that Lille is stepping in, the African Union will definitely help him.

This has the feeling of using state power to bully private companies, and this kind of thing is often broadcast on Berry Country TV, which usually makes Berry Country people full of sympathy for these companies that have been bullied.

Lear told them what might have happened very frankly, but they found that the world was so complicated that they might as well do research.

Realizing the thoughts of his fellow researchers, Lille stopped and looked at them:

[Lille: If you have no objections to this direction, the company will start taking over the mining area. Tanzheng Mansion may give Uranium 10 Company some compensation, and we will be responsible for part of it. 】

Everyone looked at me and everyone shook their heads.

Generally speaking, they don't think there is anything wrong with Lille's approach. At most, it is somewhat inconsistent with the "rule of law society" they imagined.

But under such circumstances, the once supreme law seems a bit weak.

This feeling makes people inevitably have some subtle feelings.

[Liel: Very good, then I will notify Frank to change the route. Dr. Toombs, we need to make some temporary modifications to the equipment. I need you online during this time. 】

[Lille: The meeting is dismissed. 】

Bang, bang, bang.

Suez Canal.

The two-meter-tall drones walked around the port, and their heavy footsteps were daunting.

These steel soldiers patrolled the side as instructed, ready to intercept and inspect passing ships.

A few weeks ago, the Berry Nation's Sixth Fleet had successively dispatched several teams from Naples, Italy to perform missions in Africa.

The orders they received were very direct: to attack Somali pirates and find out where the lost warships were.

However, secretly, only senior officers knew that Africa Command had received a windfall this time:

Their real purpose is to directly occupy an area in Somalia and establish a permanent base.

Somalia has been close to a state of anarchy since 1991, and the Sixth Fleet can do this with ease.

Once this place was forcibly stabilized, it would be easy to make some money.

If it hadn't been for this excuse, I really wouldn't have had the chance to do such a thing.

Of course, they don't know what method the Pentagon used to convince the Egyptian government to let them investigate like this, but they can make extra money constantly.

Standing at the port, the officer watched the unmanned robot and soldiers jointly inspect a ship again. Although his expression did not change, he smiled in his heart.

I never thought that one day I would have such an opportunity.

The stronger the military's control, the more likely they, the soldiers, are to find some extra money.

But soon he received new instructions:

[Headquarters: The second new armored company is ready to board the ship. You need to go to Tanzania to perform the mission. 】

In Somalia, in a dilapidated hut, a little black guy is listening to the world news attentively:

"The Sixth Fleet is about to land in Somalia to implement occupation."

"Vice Admiral Kenway, commander of the Sixth Fleet, stated that they will find the lost ship and strike hard at the terrorists."

"And he said that the Somali region has been in a state of anarchy for many years, posing a huge threat to the safety of passing civilian ships and seriously endangering the economic development of the African region."

"If possible, they will maintain shipping lane stability in the Somali region and help develop the region."

"Roxon Energy Group has expressed great interest in this proposal."

Xiao Hei jumped up suddenly and ran out with bare feet!

"The people from Berry Country are coming! The people from Berry Country are coming!"

The old black men outside were originally dancing around the fire, but when they heard this, their expressions suddenly changed, and they started to run away giggling——

The amazing thing is that although they look like a group of headless flies, they are all running in the same direction.

It's like a rally.

Beyond the woods, the coast is not far away

A dilapidated destroyer is parked on the coast in the fjord.

The jungle echoes with the voices of the indigenous people——

"The people from Berry Country are coming!"

On the border of Tanzania, a convoy is traveling in the mountains.

Can you see the accompanying drones in the sky, providing career and guidance for the marching troops?

Wow——

Vehicles bearing the Atlas Group logo drive through the wetlands.

The combatants in the vehicle relied on exoskeleton support and rested on their seats.

Frank drove the car, and the feedback from the auxiliary combat AI was reflected in the HUD——

everything is normal.

After walking hundreds of kilometers, they had been attacked several times, but most of them just ran away after being hit a few times, and they did not have to be tough under the attack of the Atlas Group.

The co-pilot, Captain Carter, was now wearing a very African-style rag cape.

"...Sometimes I have the illusion that I'm still fighting in Europe."

"Is there such a jungle in Europe?"

"That's not true." Captain Carter looked at the scenery outside and sighed, "So after that, the Berry Country fought several more battles."

Frank shrugged: "It's just that I've participated in so many wars, but that doesn't mean that's all."

Through the trees, the towering Mount Kilimanjaro looms in the distance.

"I was frozen for almost 100 years and was sent to Africa as soon as I woke up."

"Trust me." Frank smiled, "You definitely don't want to go back."

"Why?"

"Look, I heard that some people choose to take a year off after college as a buffer. You were still fighting the World War before you fell into coma, so it's good to take a break."

"You call fighting a break?!"

Frank nodded - it didn't count as a break before, but it does now.

But to be honest, this idea came about because Frank completely underestimated how smoothly Captain Carter would go on the European battlefield.

Frank has served for many years and has lost too many disabled comrades, but Captain Carter?

There were probably less than ten people.

But before he opened his mouth, he received new information:

[Lille: Diversion. 】
