Chapter 363 Intervene

Hassan II, 58 years old, is proficient in Arabic, French, Spanish, English and has a doctorate in law.

24 Assisted his father in participating in and leading the struggle for the abolition of the colonial system and the struggle for Moroccan independence. He was exiled to Corsica and Madagascar. After Morocco became independent in 1956, Hassan was ordered by his father to form the Royal Armed Forces and was officially established as the Crown Prince at the age of 28.

After that, he often handled state affairs on behalf of his father. He was crowned King of Morocco in 1961 and married in the same year. The new queen was Lara Latifa, the daughter of the leader of the Berber tribe in the Atla Mountains.

In 1962, the dictatorship began to reform and the first constitution was promulgated to strengthen centralization of power.

In July 1971, a small number of upper-level military officers, led by the director of the Royal Military Department, Madmokh, launched a bloody coup and was suppressed.

In August of the following year, the man behind the 1971 coup, Defense Minister Ufkir and others, with the support of the CIA, set up a trap again and attempted to shoot down the king's plane, but this was also thwarted and Ufkir was silenced.

In 1972, Morocco adopted a constitution and implemented a multi-party system.

In November 1975, the "Green March" operation was launched with 100,000 unarmed Moroccans entering Western Sahara and occupying the territory of Western Sahara.

In the 1970s, he began to have secret contacts with Israel and brokered Arab-Israeli peace talks.

After the mid-1980s, he privatized state-owned enterprises.

"No, state-owned enterprises have begun to be privatized. Why are they still being assassinated by the CIA?" Sean put down the information in his hand and turned to look at Armstrong.

"There was assassination first, and then there was privatization. There was a difference of more than 10 years." Armstrong emphasized.

"So is his relationship with the United States good or bad?" Sean asked again.

Armstrong simply shook his head, "For the United States, what it wants is influence in Morocco and a say in the Mediterranean Sea. But whether the privatization of this state-owned enterprise is beneficial depends on whether American capital is involved. This

They are two completely different situations, you should understand better than me."

Sean nodded when he heard this. If his own capital was not involved, of course it would be no good!

"Oh, by the way." Armstrong suddenly thought of something and said: "Many of Morocco's weapons are provided by us, including aircraft and armored units, and some of them are French goods."

"Pfft!" Sean spat out immediately. This is really complicated.

"No matter what, it's up to him." He said and looked up at Armstrong, "Find the people from the Caesars, I want to talk to them."

…

"Great Elder Salem Ould Lessa." Sean pushed the door open and saw a man with fine white hair, wearing a dark blue suit and glasses. He looked to be in his 50s.

People in Western Sacrifice all like the color blue and like to wear blue cloth on their bodies. They are also called blue people.

"Mr. Sean." Salem Ould Lessa stood up and bowed slightly.

He took two steps forward and shook hands.

This is an inconspicuous room in a small town called Tuineje on another island in the Canary Islands.

Everyone around except Sean is from Caesar.

"I wonder what Mr. Sean's order is for inviting me here?" Salem Ould Lessa asked straight to the point without any nonsense.

"I want to buy the development rights of Xisa's phosphate mine."

Salem Ould Lesa's eyes lit up, he coughed slightly, and asked as if he didn't hear clearly: "Where is the phosphate mine?"

"Phosphate mining rights for the entire Western Sahara." Sean said with a smile.

"Although I don't want to admit it, Mr. Sean must know that most of the mining areas are occupied by Moroccans. Even if I want to sell this part of the development rights, I am not able to help Mr. Sean realize it."

"No matter who is occupying it now, these mineral deposits belong to the land of Western Sahara, am I right?" Sean smiled.

"Of course, they belong to the people of Western Sahara, so even if it is me, I have no right to sell them to anyone for free, even if they are not under the control of the people of Western Sahara now." Salem Salem

Urd Lessa said in a deep voice.

"Of course, I, Sean, am a reasonable person and a law-abiding person. I am happy to act in accordance with national laws and regulations. I am not buying this land at a low price. That is embezzling the assets of the people of Western Sahara. I choose

It’s a mining right, with a term and rent.”

"Mr. Sean is really an honest businessman!" Salem Ould Lesa said with a smile in his eyes.

"The Great Elder has discernment." Sean and Salem Ould Lesa looked at each other, and both of them laughed.

At this moment, Da Ying Empire, HSBC, Malay and others sent questions: When did you become blind?

"So, we can talk about the price. How many years does Mr. Sean want to rent the eight mining areas currently being mined, and what is the price?"

"Let's rent it for 100 years first." Sean grinned.

Salem Ould Lesa almost spit out, I take back what I just said, what the hell is the difference between this and buying.

Renting for a hundred years is very colonial!

"In terms of price, I have two options for Mr. Grand Elder to choose from. First, the annual rent is US$100 million, with an annual increase of 1%."

Salem Ould Lesa was noncommittal. The rent seemed very low, as if it was given away for free, but for a country, that's not how the accounts are calculated.

What the state values ​​is how many workers a mining area employs after it is put into operation, how many surrounding upstream and downstream industries it stimulates, and how many workers these industries employ.

How many people's livelihood industries have been activated by these workers' daily consumption?

Associated transportation, transportation and other commercial activities.

Just like during the reform period, the local government gave free land to foreign investors, built three connections and one leveling for free, and granted large loans. Foreign investors hardly needed to spend a penny to get a large factory built from scratch, or an original state-owned factory.

enterprise.

This seems like, okay, this is a freebie, as long as the foreign capital comes with the management team.

The country loses money, but it actually activates the local economy.

Just like what Morocco is doing now with the privatization of state-owned enterprises.

Therefore, Sean’s $100 million is really a lot, and he is extremely benevolent!

Of course, this is the general direction, don't worry about the details.

However, these are all false now. Most of the territory is still occupied by Morocco. Salem Ould Lesa wants to hear the second one.

"Second, I will take out 10% of the shares." Sean held out a finger, "Of course, I don't care how you divide it, but the Western Sacrifice cannot be less than 5%."

Salem Ould Lesa frowned, lowered his head, and the expression on his face kept changing.

This is more complicated.

After thinking for a while, Salem Ould Lessa raised his head and looked at Sean, "What are Mr. Sean's plans for those mines in the Moroccan occupied areas?"

"As everyone knows, I am a very reasonable person. On the land of Western Sahara, I have obtained a development permit from the governmental organization recognized by the people of Western Sahara, the Popular Front of Western Sahara. Then, I have the right to develop it, and no one can stop it.

"Me." Sean stared, "But if someone doesn't reason with me, then we have an unreasonable way of dealing with it!!"

Salem Ould Lesa squinted his eyes, and he thought he understood that what Sean wanted was an excuse to get into this business.

As for the unreasonable methods, he thinks they are just threats, and he will not actually take action. If they do fight, all production will be stopped, and all losses will be money.

"Well, this matter is very important. We need to go back and discuss it." Salem Ould Lesa stood up and said with a smile.

"Of course, of course, be careful. I'm waiting for your good news." Sean shook hands with the other party without sending them away. This was a secret meeting.

It wasn't until all the Caesars left that Armstrong appeared again.

"Have you found the target you were looking for?" Sean asked.

"We have found several suitable targets and are still screening them further," Armstrong replied.

"Well, you have to be careful. After all, you are risking your own death, but I believe in YSL teachings, hehe, hehe." Sean smiled strangely.

"Are you really planning to partner with the PFLP?" Armstrong asked uncertainly: "Many weapons in Morocco are American. The United States supports Morocco. As an American, will they believe you?"

"Who knows, I think it's about the same." Sean curled his lips, "YL is still at odds with the United States. It secretly gives arms to YL. It's also very close to Lao Sar, so it still hasn't given them any weapons.

"

"cut!"

…

On the other side, Salem Ould Lesa hurriedly returned to Western Sahara, his furrowed brows not loosening all the way until he returned to Western Sahara and called all the senior officials of the Western Sacred People's Formation over.

Although the Western Front is not yet the leadership team in the tent in the refugee camp, it does not have much ostentation now.

The main thing is poverty.

When the Spanish first withdrew, Caesar was actually much stronger than it is now.

In 1975, Spain withdrew its troops, and Morocco, Mauritania and Spain signed the "Madrid Agreement", which stipulated that approximately 170,000 square kilometers in the northern part of Western Sahara was included in the Moroccan territory, and approximately 90,000 square kilometers in the southern part was under the jurisdiction of Mauritania. Then the Western Sahara War broke out.

At the beginning of the war, the PFLP had only 500 people, equipped only with light weapons and off-road jeeps, and mainly used night attacks and "hit and run" guerrilla tactics, which had little effect.

In 1978, Kadanozo strengthened his assistance to the PFLP. The PFLP began to equip armored vehicles, heavy artillery, rocket launchers, missiles and relatively complete communication tools, and the total number of troops gradually increased to nearly 10,000 people.

The PFLP first targeted Mauritania and attacked Nouakchott, the capital of Mauritania, on June 8, 1976 and July 3, 1977.

On May 1 and July 16, 1977, they attacked the Zuairat iron mine in Mauritius, destroying the railway line from the mine to the seaport of Nouadhibou, severely damaging the economic lifeline of Mauritius, causing it to

Domestic inflation, foreign exchange earnings almost dried up, and the economy was on the verge of collapse, which eventually led to a domestic military coup. After the coup, the PFLP began to attack again, and finally forced the other party to announce that it had given up its territorial claims to Western Sahara.

After Mauritania withdrew from the war, the Western Front moved northward and concentrated its efforts to attack Morocco. It launched several large-scale attacks in Bir Enzalan, Le Buyrat and other places, causing heavy losses to the troops stationed in Samoa.
