Recently, in addition to paying attention to Hassan Rodi and others' progress, the war in West Africa has also attracted his attention.

Because the geographical location of the South is more concerned by the Americans, the Zaguo, Babu, Buganda and Anquila are still fighting hard, and the Americans are not very concerned, but a little better, that is, the coalition formed by Karabi and the others and Anquila has the upper hand and the attack is unnecessary.

This has to be said that the Anquila army led by Leas played an important role.

In the case of internal riots and external invasions, it would be difficult to resist the army led by Karabi and his son alone. It would be different if Anquila's army joined. At least, Anquila's government forces could help share the pressure brought by the Buganda government forces entrenched in the southeast of Zaguo.

The reason why Dias was willing to help was not only because he did not want to lead the war to Anquila and let the battle take place in Zaguo, but more importantly, they did not need to worry about military expenditure.

This is to talk about Chen Kangjie's role. Due to time and identity, Chen Kangjie could not go to West Africa again in a short time. However, at the end of last year, after his "introduction", Mei Jincheng went to Anquila and Zaguo. He had a good talk with Dias and Karabi. As a result, Mei Jincheng provided a development fund to Dias, which was actually providing military funds. It was just to find a relatively neutral name to deceive others. As for whether the development fund was used for education or transportation or to purchase weapons and ammunition, it was not something Mei Jincheng needed to pay attention to.

According to the agreement reached, Mekin City will provide Anquila with a development fund of US$2.2 billion within two years. If this number is placed in other countries, it may be nothing, it will only be 1.1 billion US dollars a year, but if it is placed in Anquila, it will be very extraordinary. At this time, Anquila's annual fiscal revenue was only US$2.5 billion, but its expenditure was as high as US$3.3 billion, which is a serious deficit. His military expenditure is less than 5% of the budget. By comparison, we know that Dias made a fortune. Not only will the military equipment be greatly renovated, but the army can be firmly controlled by the army, but also part of the funds can be used to win people's hearts and improve his life.

Speaking of this, there is another small episode. When Mekin City negotiated with Dias, the Americans also found him and expressed their desire to provide him with assistance. Dias asked what the number of diplomatic representatives of the United States was, and the reply was 70 million US dollars a year. If Chen Kangjie had not intervened, the US assistance was relatively good. In the past, the Americans' aid to Anquila was only 120 million US dollars after three years. This is the largest number of all bilateral and multilateral aid. For example, the United Nations Development Program, the United Nations Refugee Agency, the European Union, the International Development Association, and the former sovereign country Portugal have no more than 30 million US dollars in aid.

The aid of Americans is not easy to obtain. The reason why they are willing to give 70 million US dollars of aid is that the first is that the country must implement comprehensive democracy, that is, the country is a multi-party system, and government leaders are universally suffrage. This is really a trap for Anquila, who has just ended the civil war. At least Chen Kangjie believes that in a country where the economy has not yet developed, the illiteracy rate is relatively high, and the society is not fully stable, once democracy is fully implemented, it will bring unstable factors, which can easily lead to internal conflicts and rights conflicts, and even ethnic conflicts. The second requirement of Americans is not to interfere in the wars of neighboring countries. Americans are now being led by the Balkans. He does not want the unrest in West Africa to end so soon, and wait for him to settle the Balkans. The interests of the Peninsula are concerned that it is better to "mediate" the conflict in West Africa, that is, the conflict between Zambia and the country and Buganda, so that it can further penetrate its power. In the past, the United States did not pay much attention to poor and backward Africa, and its president would rarely visit African countries. Even if it is rare to come once, it will basically not go to South Africa or North Africa. Central Africa will basically not go to. Now seeing that China has further strengthened its influence in Africa, Americans also want to get a share of the pie. Of course, China attaches importance to Africa from a strategic level, and Americans are at most concerned at the battle level. The degree is completely different. The third requirement of the Americans is of course related to personal interests. They require Anquila to open the domestic oil and diamond mining industries to American industrial and commercial enterprises.

If Chen Kangjie had not been Chen Kangjie, Dias would have really agreed to the Americans, at least in the original history, which made the United States invest more than 200 million US dollars a year in the next ten years, while China only had two million US dollars a year for direct investment in the country. Imports from the country were quite large, and it could exceed 10 billion US dollars a year, but most of its profits had been made by others.

It is impossible for Mekincheng to just take money and not make any demands, but his requirements are not as harsh as Americans. At least he does not care about the country's political system. In our words, every country has the right to choose a development path. As for whether Anquila participated in the internal war in Zaguo, Mekincheng did not mention it. It should be said that this did not need to be mentioned. Karabi, who accompanied him to meet Dias, would talk to Dias separately. Mekincheng was like a normal businessman, and he just wanted Anquila to open up the rights of oil exploration and mining to him. As for diamond exploration and mining, Mekincheng did not value it.

Mekin City told Dias that his goal is to increase Anquila's current oil production from 120,000 barrels per day to 1.2 million barrels per day, thereby fundamentally changing the country's economic development level. In addition, he will also participate in the country's infrastructure construction and strive to make Anquila from the poorest country in the world to a wealthy country with high income in Africa in about ten years.

In addition to rich mineral resources, Anquila also has rich agricultural resources. Its arable land is as high as 120 million mu, and pastures and mowed grasslands are 435 million mu. Unfortunately, Anquila is currently an importer of agricultural products, guarding rich land. Half of the country's grain needs to be imported from outside. Currently, it only produces 470,000 tons, and the demand is as high as 950,000 tons. No matter which country the problem of food is placed in, it is a problem that those in power attach great importance to. It is not only China that "food is the most important thing for the people". This is also important in other countries. If the people cannot eat enough, the regime will not be stable.

In response to this difficulty, Mekin City expressed its willingness to rent a large amount of land in Anquila Vanbo and Biye provinces to help the country solve the food supply problem. If possible in the future, it will also rent a large amount of land and mountainous land in coastal plains and eastern regions.

The requirement to rent land was forced by Chen Kangjie before Mei Jincheng left. In terms of oil investment, Mei Jincheng knew very well even if she did not have the prediction ability of Chen Kangjie. So Chen Kangjie gave him a direction and knew how to talk. This industry must contain rich interests. Mei Jincheng did not understand agricultural issues, or was not very interested. In fact, Chen Kangjie did not understand much. He only planned in advance based on the fact that the improvement of domestic living standards in the future has led to the large-scale import of grain products and meat products.

China is the country with the largest population base in the world and will maintain this record for a long time. However, our land of more than 9 million square kilometers is very suitable for agricultural production. Large areas of deserts, mountains and high-dry land account for a large part. In the past, when people's consumption of agricultural products was relatively intensive, they could barely support it. However, with the development of the economy, the improvement of people's living standards, especially the sharp increase in meat consumption, the demand for food has become increasingly difficult. To ensure grain supply, in addition to vigorously developing agricultural technology and increasing grain yield, Chen Kangjie believes that he can also implement a strategy of going global and renting land to countries and regions with rich land. On the one hand, it can solve the needs of grain, and on the other hand, it can also create a large number of employment opportunities. Thousands of years of inheritance of agricultural society makes Chinese farmers one of the most skilled in cultivating land in the world. As long as they are provided with land and combined with advanced agricultural production technology, they can produce a large amount of grain.

Anquila is a country that is very suitable for grain production. Not only is the climate conditions good, but the country also has rich water resources, dense river channels, and does not lack the water needed for agricultural production. Therefore, Chen Kangjie added a task to Meijincheng. As for how to develop the land and how to organize production in the future, another team can be formed to implement it in detail.

Comparing the support conditions provided by the United States with those provided by Chen Kangjie, it is obvious that as long as Dias has no brains, he will make the most correct choice. Whoever does not want his regime to be consolidated, who does not want his citizens to have enough food, who does not want his army to be fully controlled, who does not want his own life to live a prosperous life, who does not want the country he leads to flourish, who will hope to create a lot of political enemies for himself. As long as Dias chooses Meijin City, he will get what he wants, and what he wants to block it.

After receiving the first funds allocated from Meijincheng from overseas accounts, Dias was immediately full of confidence and courage. After giving the troops a generous military salary, he organized the army to enter the southeastern region of Zaguo, expressing his determination to maintain regional stability and strive to help Zaguo drive the invaders out.

At the same time, Chen Kangjie's shadow kept appearing in Dias' mind. He didn't believe that Chen Kangjie had the ability to attract huge amounts of funds before. At this time, he had no doubts. Dias thought that if Chen Kangjie came again next time, he must treat him well. Although he did not get an answer from Mei Jincheng about his relationship with Chen Kangjie, he already believed that Chen Kangjie contained huge energy.
