The result of the bombing was naturally seen quickly. The entire position was a sea of fire. Of course, this was just the beginning.
The Oran people immediately lost the high morale they had before. Now each one of them was like an eggplant beaten by frost. If they could regret it and beat them to death, they would not come here.
Even after the bombing, there were deserters. However, observers from the energy group now saw that there was something different about Great Russia.
"Andrip, have you noticed? There seems to be something wrong with this matter." Li Min has been calculating for a whole day. People in the base don't know what this guy is calculating, and Andrip also doesn't know.
He spends his whole day counting
The loss of the Orangemen.
"Of course I found it, of course something is wrong. I think if the air raids continue, the ground troops may retreat without even coming over. These young men are not as ambitious as they were when they came. Now
They all feel that this is not the place they should come to. I heard that people in the military camps over there have started to shoot those who escaped." Andrip thought Li Min was talking about this problem. Needless to say, if the energy group
If there is no intervention, bigger problems may arise, or it may collapse.
"No, I'm not talking about this. I'm talking about Great Russia. They dispatched so many aircraft today. According to our observations, there are thousands of sorties. I made a preliminary calculation and found that this is tens of thousands of tons.
Bombs, some of them are the latest cluster bombs. This is no joke. There are even some ceramic bombs in them. When did Great Russia become so rich? How could they be so generous? Last time we
None of these things have appeared in the Primorsky Territory. I will never believe that the importance here is more important than the Primorsky Krai." Li Min said with the data in his hand, if he didn't say that everyone wouldn't have
I found out that the attention of several people in the room was attracted. This guy was right. When would Great Russia become so rich? Didn’t they just lose a lot at the beginning of the year?
How come you have money?
"They haven't had any large exports recently. Could it be that something happened inside the country? But our intelligence department in Great Russia didn't get anything. I don't think we need to report it for the time being. Let's see what happens tomorrow.
." An older intelligence analyst thought for a while and said, after all, a large organization like Great Russia can still drop tens of thousands of tons of bombs every day. We cannot start a large-scale investigation just because of such an anomaly. If
It's okay if something goes wrong, but if nothing goes wrong, the only one who loses is you, and you may also kill your brother who is engaged in intelligence. This has happened before.
"I don't think we have to wait until tomorrow. We can get the results today." A voice came from outside the door. It was
Li Xian, the commander of the olan occupying force, he should be there now
It's only within Olan, so why did you go to the front line directly? Did something really happen?
"All stand at attention??" Following the guard officer's voice, dozens of officers in the room all stood at attention.
"Everyone, please rest a moment. I'm here for an urgent matter. The group has received the news. The Great Russian government has just announced an economic revitalization plan with as much as 400 billion U.S. dollars, and has implemented new measures for new residents in Central Asia.
The subsidy policy is almost the same as ours. The group has already started a large-scale investigation. We will also report the situation on our side to see what is going on. I believe it will be helpful to the Ministry of Intelligence.
." Li Xian sat down and said. His words made everyone start to doubt. What Li Xian said was basically the truth. Four hundred billion U.S. dollars is not a small amount for the group. For Great Russia,
This is an astronomical figure, but why can they still get it?
"Report, intelligence from the Ministry of Railways of Great Russia shows that they are stepping up their efforts to transport a large number of weapons and ammunition to the front line, with a total value of more than 100 billion US dollars. They have almost emptied several large arsenals in the European part of Great Russia. We
The previous ones
The Orans can't stop them." A combat staff officer came in with an urgent message and said, which shocked the officers in the room. It seems that Great Russia has really received huge benefits, more than 100 billion US dollars.
Weapons and ammunition want to reimburse these hundreds of thousands
Olan's miscellaneous army is simply a piece of cake. Now the energy group has to re-formulate its battle plan.
"Commander, I think we are going to retreat overnight. We must
A new line of defense has been established on Lan's border. I think our best result is to maintain
O Lan's a**." Li Min is not only good at business, he also sees the situation very clearly at critical moments. For example, at this time, he sees everything clearly. At this time, he must give up something.
Okay, along with these over 100 billion weapons, there must be a large number of troops coming over.
The orchid army is definitely unreliable, although
Lan now has hundreds of thousands of energy group troops, but they can only help with defense.
Lan, you must not come to the territory of Great Russia. The two are definitely different.
"Commander, Li Min is right. There are only a thousand people in the military camp of our observation group. It is too dangerous here. No one can guarantee whether they will launch an air attack on us. I think you'd better go back as soon as possible.
"Andrip also said, and others also felt that they were right. Their group is powerful, but at this moment, their abilities are not that strong in this place.
"Haha, even the smallest things scare you. Don't we still know what kind of country Great Russia is? This is a country that is ineffective and will never achieve anything. We have to be careful, but there is no need to
There is another reason why I am so worried,
The Lan defenders have just found a gold reserve. There are 900 tons of gold there. We have to take these things away. These were originally used for trade settlement between Great Russia and Europa. Now we can take them away directly. Of course
Want to
The Orans are here to do things. We are not bandits. The military department is already replacing the latest amphibious tanks. That gold is worth hundreds of billions of yuan. We can pay for it with hundreds of thousands of military vehicles.
." Li Xian could come once for these 900 tons of gold. It was only on the way that he encountered great changes in Great Russia. Now before leaving, he couldn't forget this matter. Several officers laughed.
, after a few minutes, I quickly started to clean up everything here. Now is definitely not the time to joke, maybe tomorrow this place will be a waste area.
There are big problems with the intelligence of the olan military. They don't know that the Great Russia in front of them is any different from before. They think that the financial situation of Great Russia is similar to theirs, so they think that such a bombing
It may only be a few days. They have already prepared enough air defense tunnels. Even if they have more bombs, it doesn't matter. Besides, the bridge on the river has been blown up. Even if they want to come over, it will take a while.
Well, I haven't heard of hundreds of thousands of troops being killed by bombing. Besides, behind you is your own country. If you can't do it, just go back. There are hundreds of thousands of troops waiting on the border, so
Those ones
Now that the Orans have seen that the air raids are no longer going on, they have resumed their favorite life. They can enjoy it for a while, otherwise they won't recognize you if the bombs are dropped.
So when the Energy Group retreated, they did not follow them. Instead, they felt that the Energy Group's army was not a real army at all, so some bombs blew up and could not be found. How could this be done? The army should withstand all kinds of
Under such circumstances, who knew they were really seeking death?
The next day, the people from the energy group had already retreated to
In the territory of Olan, it turns out that the Belarusian army has come to an end. The battle is the same as the previous day, but it is still a little different compared to the bombing the previous day. Today's bombing is more violent. The bombs and artillery shells seem to be unnecessary.
Money is coming here like money, and there are so many dead people now. Compared with yesterday, today is like two levels. Soon, the temporary prevention and control facilities they found will no longer work.
, the number of dead people surprised everyone. They underestimated the capabilities of modern warfare weapons. Maybe hundreds of thousands of people would really die here.
After six hours of saturation bombing, I seem to be able to stand up
There were less than one-third of the orchid soldiers. Now they all knew the cruelty of war. They no longer needed orders from above. They brought what they could and rushed back ten times faster than when they came.
Olan, originally both the energy group and the Americans thought they could rely on
The Orans can consume Great Russia, but now I see that they seem to be serious, which is not the case at all.
The Dutch can resist it. Americans, Energy Group and Europa are beginning to meet. The top leaders of the three parties met at the headquarters of the Energy Group. If Great Russia really wants to annex
Olan's Huā, this is no ordinary trivial matter. Originally, the Americans and energy groups did not want Europa to get involved. After all, one more company means one more company. But now that we have seen such a fierce attack from Great Russia, if we haven't already
If you understand, you will suffer big losses in the future.
Moreover, the energy group has finally understood the reason why Great Russia is rushing to spend so much money. This is a very big secret, and that is diamonds.
According to a report from the Energy Group's Investigation Department that day, Russia recently discovered a huge diamond mine. The mine is located in a crater with a diameter of more than 100 kilometers in eastern Siberia. The reserves are estimated to exceed one trillion carats, which can satisfy the global gem market for 3,000 years.
need.
Scientists say the crater, known as Popigai, is more than 35 million years old and contains an estimated 10 times more diamonds than the rest of the world combined. Russia has previously kept this secret
It was discovered that the purpose was to prevent diamond prices from being crushed and harming the interests of their own diamond industry. Moreover, they themselves did not have enough energy to mine. Now they started here because Li Conong's redwood trees were about to go bankrupt.
It was originally thought to be very confidential, but tens of thousands of people including mining workers could not keep it secret so easily. The energy group was able to quickly get the information.
"Popigai" diamonds are also called "impact diamonds", which are the product of meteorite-like objects hitting existing diamond mines. Its hardness is twice that of ordinary gems, so it is widely used in industry and scientific research.
The value is particularly high. The director of the Novosibirsk Institute of Geology and Mineralogy, who was captured by the energy group, said that the new resources may have a greater impact on the gem market. "We are talking about trillions of carats. In comparison, for the public
The familiar diamond mine in Yakutia, Russia, has reserves of only 1 billion carats. Moreover, impact diamonds are more valuable because of their unique surface and larger volume."
Russia's diamond production peaked in 2037, worth US dollars, and 98% of its products were exported to Belgium, Israel, the United States and Southeast Asia. However, due to the impact of the economic crisis, its diamond output fell to the bottom in 2039, with an output value of only US dollars. The current world economy
There are already signs of recovery, which may be why Russian authorities have chosen to start mining this stuff now.
The former Soviet Union is world-famous for its diamond production. As early as the 1950s, the world-famous "Peace" diamond mine was discovered in the city of Mirny, Yakutia, in the hinterland of Siberia. For more than half a century, here and several nearby mines
The mine contributed 23% of the world's total diamonds and earned at least 1.7 trillion US dollars for the former Soviet Union and Russia. However, the money earned is probably all in the treasure house, and all the money may have been taken away by Li Cong
.
Overlooking the "Peace" diamond mine, you can clearly see the world's largest "man-made cave." The entrance of the cave has a diameter of 1,600 meters and a depth of about 533 meters, which is equivalent to a height of 161 floors and is taller than the 508-meter tallest building in the world.
The Taipei 101 Building is 25 meters longer. It is said that the air turbulence caused by the cave will suck in the aircraft above. The winter temperature inside the cave causes the lubricants to freeze and the machines to freeze and crack.
It was not until 11 years ago that the Mirny mine was closed due to sharp decline in production and safety reasons. Compared with the newly discovered "Popigai Diamond Field", the "Peace" mine is simply not worth mentioning.
When it comes to these mineral resources, Li Cong will never be soft-hearted. If such a big thing is occupied by Great Russia, what will happen? However, Li Cong knows that this is just his jealousy. He really wants to shake this thing from Great Russia.
If the money comb comes to Nong, it will really be a fight, but how much does it cost for ten trillion carats of diamonds? Great Russia does not have its own diamond sales channels, so he can only get so little profit. The energy group deals in jadeite
The reason is that it has its own jewelry sales network all over the world, and also has its own team in design and other aspects. If this diamond mine is in its own hands, it will definitely bring itself trillions of dollars in profits every year.
, I guess other jewelers won’t do anything.
When Li Cong met Robert from Europa and Hank, the rotating president of the Skull and Bones Society, he found that these two people also knew the latest news about Great Russia. This was not an ordinary thing. I guess these two people also started to care about it. The three of them became a tiger.
, as long as both of them are concerned about this matter, it will be easy to handle. If it were just you, I guess the two of them would definitely be at odds with each other. At that time, it would be really difficult to handle.
The use of valuable stones like diamonds can be traced back thousands of years. The rulers of many ancient civilizations used processed gems to show their wealth and status to people. Diamonds also represent power and reputation. Many of the world's rich and famous
They all wear diamonds, and many women around the world receive a diamond ring when they agree to a man’s proposal. This is also an important reason why the price of diamonds around the world has skyrocketed. In fact, to put it bluntly, this thing is made of stone.
One is just like Li Cong's jade speculation, which involves making the stone more valuable than gold in order to make money.
Diamonds are mined from the ground, cut, polished, and then sold around the world at very high prices. South Africa is the most famous diamond supplier in the world. For a long time, people have mined diamond ore from deep underground. This is
A very dangerous job, but currently, technological advancement has provided a lot of help in the mining of diamond ore.
Millions of years ago, carbon elements formed diamonds under extreme heat and pressure more than 100 kilometers below the earth's surface. These rocks formed deep in the earth were brought to the surface or shallow parts of the earth by volcanic activities. This kind of
Magma is mostly produced in the shape of rock tubes, so it is commonly known as "pipe ore" (i.e. primary ore). This kind of original rock is called kimberlite. The name comes from the name of a place called Kimberley in South Africa, where diamonds were discovered in the 19th century.
De Beers bought the Kimberley Mine and soon became South Africa's largest mining company. De Beers employed thousands of people in South Africa. In the late twentieth century, the company improved mining conditions and transferred the company's proceeds to
The profits are awarded to employees in the form of shares. What people don’t know is that more than ten years ago, the energy group had penetrated into Kimberley in various forms, and the energy group’s jewelry company also became an important shareholder of Kimberley. From here
, if Great Russia produces a large amount of diamonds, Li Cong will suffer the most among the three giants.
All over the world, valuable stones are mined from great depths in the ground near rivers, coastal areas and alluvial sand mines. Botswana is now Africa's largest diamond producer. Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Namibia and Sierra Leone
African countries also have diamond mines. Some other major diamond-producing countries include Australia, Canada and Russia. De Beers still controls half of the world's diamond production. The vast majority of diamond ore is shipped to the company's London headquarters, and then
They are sold to some small dealers, but top buyers are also part of the diamond trading system. But if the diamond mines in Great Russia are exposed, this originally the largest diamond mine in the world will be insignificant compared to others.
The Great Witch is the same, there is simply no comparison.
In India, one million people are engaged in the diamond processing industry.sh
Enujandpany is a major diamond production factory in Mumbai, where workers cut, polish, and carve diamonds. Most diamonds in the world, especially small diamonds, are polished in India. Diamonds must be inspected and processed very carefully according to their color.
Classification, the most precious diamonds are true colorless diamonds. Experts use computers to conduct detailed analysis of diamond rough to determine how to best cut diamonds. Diamonds are the hardest material in nature, and diamonds can only be cut with diamonds.
, so a diamond cutting machine puts diamond sand on a wheel called a polisher. Cutting diamonds is a very difficult job. If you make a slight mistake, the diamond will break.
The history of gemstones in India goes back centuries, sanjaykotha
I, the president of the Indian Gem and Jewelry Export Promotion Association, said that India has had diamonds, jewelry and gold since the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. In the 1950s and 1960s, the Indian jewelry industry became a big industry

Mr. i said that India’s diamond exports last year were US$90 billion.
On the other side of the world, Antwerp in Belgium is the largest diamond trading center in the world. Philippe Claes is the Secretary-General of the Antwerp World Diamond Trading Center. He said: "80% of the world's rough diamonds and 50% of processed diamonds
Diamonds are traded in Antwerp, and this figure means that the annual transaction volume of the Antwerp Diamond Trading Center reaches more than 400 billion U.S. dollars."
There are more than 1,800 diamond companies in Antwerp, which is why George Reed came to this city, he is sho
The senior vice president of egold, a Canadian diamond mining company, came to Antwerp to increase the value of his diamonds. Even Li Cong's jewelry company comes here every year to purchase or sell part of its diamonds.
Li Cong has a huge number of diamond mines in Africa, but they are all high-end diamonds. His jewelry store cannot only have these. What can attract popularity for himself is some mid-to-low-end items. After all, most ordinary people are like this.
class, so Li Cong's jewelry company still has to go to the diamond market to buy some less valuable loose diamonds.
The weight and value of diamonds are expressed in carats. One carat is equal to 200 milligrams. In addition to the weight and color of carats, the value of a carved diamond also comes from its purity and cutting level, that is, the shape of the diamond.
and quality. Once about 25,000 people were engaged in diamond cutting and polishing in the city of Antwerp. Now, only a few hundred people are still engaged in this work. The Belgian diamond cutters lost their jobs and were replaced by Indians because they needed
The salary is very small.
The global diamond trade is estimated to be as high as $80 billion per year. Diamonds help some countries develop their economies, and they provide jobs for many people in the world's poorest countries. However, diamonds are also used to support wars, oppress people and maintain dictatorships.
The diamond mining industry in South Africa is clean, and mining machines provide great help to workers. But this is not the case in other parts of Africa, where more than a million people are looking for diamonds by hand in deep pits or
Digging along the river, they earn less than a dollar a day. In recent years, armed forces and rebel groups in some countries have used diamonds to finance their civil wars. Countless civilians are involved in conflicts in countries such as Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Sierra Leone.
Casualties. Therefore, these gems are called "conflict diamonds" or "blood diamonds". Li Congke has great praise for this.
o Adding fuel to the flames, there is nothing we can do about it. If we want to control Africa, we have to make the whole of Africa war. Otherwise, we really don’t have the ability.
Global Witness is a non-governmental organization that calls global attention to this issue. Anne Dunnbeck said that the purpose of this organization is to show people the tragedy caused by conflict diamonds. She said that Sierra Leone is the most serious in this regard.
In a country where hundreds of thousands died in a civil war in the 1990s, rebel forces chopped off the hands and heads of innocent people and forced children to fight. The Revolutionary United Front controls eastern Sierra Leone, which is home to diamonds
In the main producing areas, diamonds are the economic source of war. According to reports, it is correct to associate such wars with diamonds.
Two years ago, there was a movie "Blood Diamond" that attracted people's attention to this issue. This movie reflected the story that took place during the civil war in Sierra Leone. Leonardo DiCaprio starred in one
A man who sold weapons to rebels in exchange for diamonds got involved in a chase for a rare and valuable pink diamond, but in the end, he gave up the diamond, fought off the rebels, and
Help others learn about the legal diamond trade. Anne Dunnbeck, Global Witness' consultant for the film, said the film had an impact on the public.
Anne Dunnbeck: "I think Hollywood's ability to convey this message to an audience is far greater and more valuable than our reporting can reach."
International pressure forced the diamond industry to take action in an effort to stop the trade in blood diamonds. In 2003, the United Nations developed the Kimberley Process Certificate, which requires member governments to provide certification that diamonds in imports and exports do not contain blood diamonds. Tom Deweyday is
A spokesman for De Beers, the world's largest producer of rough diamonds, said the Kimberley Process certificate is an important step towards stopping the blood diamond trade. He said: "We have a system, although it is not perfect yet.
, but this may be the only acceptable system in the world."
Philip Klass of the World Diamond Center said that before the implementation of the Kimberley Process certificate, conflict diamonds accounted for 4% to 15% of the global diamond rough trade volume. Now, the conflict diamond trade volume only accounts for 0.2% of the diamond rough trade volume.
However, Anne Dunnbeck said that some diamonds are illegally transshipped in some African countries. Li Cong knows this best. At least the diamonds sold in the Energy Group jewelry store do not have many formal procedures.
Experts say that diamonds are not only valuable gems, but can also bring trouble to the world. For example, more than 90% of rubies come from Myanmar. The Myanmar government controls the sales of gems in this country. This trade makes this soldier
The government is able to maintain its power. Human rights activists are working to increase restrictions on the trade in Burmese rubies, and human rights activists hope that people will ask more questions when they buy these jewelry. But such groups are facing huge energy group sales.
They often feel powerless when using the Internet.
Office of the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Energy Group (the President’s Office now belongs to Li Er)
"Haha, you two haven't been here for a long time. I don't think you two would have come without this huge diamond mine, right?" Li Cong and his son met Mr. Robert and Mr. Robert who were visiting in the office.
President Hank, in fact, this is mainly meant for Robert. The Skull and Bones Society now has a rotating president system, so one boss per year has nothing to do with him, but the necessary politeness is still needed, but Robert has eaten it.
Li Cong suffered such a big loss, and now Nong's internal situation is still unstable. If he didn't want to use Li Cong's power to threaten
If I were in Great Russia, I would not have come here. This is simply a devil.
In any case, Li Er himself was qualified to negotiate peace with these two guys when he went out, but now that he had his own father here, he had nothing to say on his own, so Li Er obediently helped these big guys
After pouring the wine, I just watched from the side. It is also very important to learn from experience at this time.
"Mr. Li is really joking. Things are different now. If you want to sit down with Mr. Li, you have to be qualified. We in Europe don't seem to have such qualifications anymore." Naturally, Robert would not give in verbally.
Li Cong's Hank is in his forties. Although he was a little dissatisfied with the Energy Group's practices in Europa a while ago, if he continues to follow Robert's words now, it is estimated that today's negotiations will be over.
It was no longer necessary, so it was better to have a good reconciliation. Under Hank's persuasion, Robert also knew that there were some things he could just say. If he continued to say it and made Li Bong unhappy, he would be in big trouble.
I didn't come here to fight with him this time, but fortunately, Li Cong had no intention of fighting with him.
"Mr. Li, I was wrong just now, but I don't think Mr. Li will do anything just because of my words." Robert picked up his wine glass and said, Li Cong also smiled and nodded, looking at this guy.
He definitely didn't look like he was apologizing to himself, and he also said, "Mr. Li, actually, I was a little doubtful before we started negotiating. I want to know how many shares of De Beers you have in total." De Beers in Robert's mouth.
Si is the world's largest diamond company, and his problem has obviously attracted Hank's attention. Although the two of them also have shares, it feels like Li Cong is the one behind the scenes. He has to make a clear calculation this time, otherwise it will not work.
The loss would be huge, and Li Cong could no longer help him make money.

De Beers has been a reputable name in the diamond mining and appraisal industry since 1888. More than sixty years ago, De Beers established a sales organization that distributes the majority of the world's gem-quality rough diamonds.
Ensure the stability of the rapidly developing world diamond market.
De Beers has been closely involved in all aspects of the diamond industry, from the mining of rough stones to the sale of diamonds, and has strived to promote and support it. Through its global network of diamond promotion centers and diamond consultation centers, De Beers uses 21 languages to conduct diamond research.
Promotion and publicity work, providing assistance and professional advice to the jewelry industry and media. The most important thing is to help consumers understand diamonds and promote the popularity of diamond jewelry.
The name of the De Beers brand comes from the pure and flawless, natural and excellent diamond jewelry, which is endowed with the emotional connotation of love. The characteristics of diamonds being hard and not deteriorating are consistent with the public's yearning for love. De Beers is the symbol of loyal love.

De Beers has been known for its monopoly system in the international diamond market since the 20th century due to its positional advantages. The company has used various methods to continuously hone this way of controlling the market: First, it persuaded ** producers
In addition to its single-channel monopoly, it flooded the market with diamonds similar to those produced by manufacturers that refused to join the conglomerate, and ultimately, it purchased and stored diamonds produced by other manufacturers in order to benefit from supply sources.
to control market prices. However, this transformation of the company, from the late nineteenth century to the present, has become increasingly widespread.
By 2030, many factors prompted De Beers to change its old business model. In the 1990s, De Beers had less and less influence on industry guidance and supply control, and its effects became less and less obvious.
On the business side, De Beers has also been increasingly unable to leverage its leadership or foresight to expand its business. In addition, more and more diamonds are being mined from Russia, Canada and elsewhere, including Australia.
Companies choose to sell diamonds from channels other than De Beers, which objectively helps eliminate monopolies. Compared with other luxury goods, the diamond jewelry market shows signs of shrinking. Regarding changes in consumer demand, diamonds
The industry has not responded and adjusted at a corresponding speed. In order to solve these problems, De Beers jointly
ain&pany conducted a comprehensive and complete strategic assessment of its business and the entire industry, and then adjusted its business model based on supply control to a model based on market demand. At the same time, De Beers also established
Suppliers choose sales strategies. As a result of strategic and business model adjustments, De Beers now occupies 40% of the market share, but its profit margin is higher than when it occupied 80% of the market share.
Today's diamond industry has undergone tremendous changes compared with the pattern ten years ago. The current situation is a very complex and ever-changing geopolitical scene. Today's major diamond industry giants are: African diamond producing countries
(For example, the government of the Republic of Botswana and the government of the Republic of Namibia are of course mostly controlled by energy groups), De Beers, Rio Tinto Group, BHP Billiton, Energy Group Jewelry Company, etc.
