Sierra Leone is located on the Atlantic coast of West Africa. It is also known as the Republic of Lions. It has a land area of 700,000 square kilometers and a population of 5.5 million. Due to its rich mineral resources, especially the diamond mines, which are world-famous, it has always been deeply loved by the world.
The attention of those countries at the top of power.
The various forces hidden in this country have made the internal situation of the entire country of Sierra Leone complicated. A large number of mining areas are under competition, and all the people have been enduring the pain of war.
Sierra Leone is one of the least developed countries in the world. Years of civil war have brought the entire country's economy to the brink of collapse. The average life expectancy in the country is only a pitiful thirty years.
Although the situation has improved in recent years, the gunfire near the main mining areas has never stopped under the influence of the giants from all sides.
There are about 15,000 government soldiers in Sierra Leone, most of whom are army soldiers. There are almost 12,000 rebels.
The military strength of both sides was basically equal, which resulted in continuous wars.
The more interesting difference is that the government forces need to bear more social responsibilities, while the rebels themselves raise the flag and rise up, so naturally they have no concept of this aspect. This also makes the government forces, despite their military strength and various aspects of foundation,
In theory, they all have certain advantages, but in actual battles, the results are often in a stalemate or even at a disadvantage.
Qin Anyi flew to Sierra Leone on a Dragon Rider's special plane. Every Dragon Rider who took on a mission outside the country would be picked up and dropped off by a specially dispatched vehicle from the Dragon Rider headquarters.
Firstly, because overseas missions are often difficult, dragonriders generally need to carry some restricted weapons, and secondly, it is also to ensure the safety of dragonriders entering the country.
The two largest forces in Sierra Leone are currently supported by two major powers.
The legal government currently recognized by the international community is supported by the Republic, while the First Reich is behind the rebels!
The government forces temporarily control the local government in most areas of the country, but the rebels control more mining areas, especially gold mines and diamond mines. Seventy percent of the mining areas are in the hands of the rebels. This has caused
The biggest conflict between the two sides.
Without these mining areas, the entire Sierra Leone would be worse than garbage in the eyes of the giant countries.
After getting off the plane, Qin Anyi did not contact the local government troops. Instead, he used the electronic map he carried to determine that the location of his private parts was in the Southern Province of Sierra Leone. Then he turned around and walked quickly towards a place.
Qin Anyi's first destination is the Baomahong area in Southern Province, which is home to the largest gold mine in Sierra Leone! The proven gold reserves are as high as 12 tons, worth nearly 6 billion US dollars!
It is one of the areas where the competition between government forces and rebels is fiercest.
It is also the place where Qin Anyi plans to announce his official arrival at the battlefield in Sierra Leone.
Although there are two major superpowers behind it, the battlefield in Sierra Leone is still relatively backward, and a large number of military weapons eliminated by various countries can be found here.
Therefore, Qin Anyi has no intention of cooperating with the government forces. He plans to do it alone. Because in addition to helping the government forces regain control of the mining area, the completion of the task is also evaluated by the number of enemies killed.
If government troops were involved, it might reduce Qin Anyi's killing efficiency.
The entire African battlefield is actually divided into several levels. Compared with the absolute peace in Europe and North America, and the relative quietness in Asia, Africa is the distribution center where various countries' forces hide in the depths and the focus of arm wrestling under the premise of peaceful development of the entire world.
point.
Africa is a vast land, rich in mineral resources, and has a large population. However, economic and technological development is extremely lagging behind. The total economic output of Africa is less than one percent of the world. Since the beginning of the Age of Discovery in Europe, Africa has become a breeding ground for colonialism.
best soil.
Hundreds of years of colonial influence have left the entire African land riddled with holes, gradually reducing it to the Third World, completely separated from the mainstream of society.
Today, although on the surface, all African countries have got rid of colonialism, and under the main theme of the world that emphasizes human rights and peace, African countries have achieved political independence one after another.
But in fact, secretly the whole of Africa is still a wrestling field between big powers. The reason is for no other reason than there are resources here!
Where there are resources, there are wars and games! This is the theme of modern society.
Just like the dispute between the Republic and the island country surrounding Fish Island, what the two countries are really fighting for is not the small island of only four square kilometers. The real goal is the resources in the waters affiliated with Fish Island!
Those resources are enough for the two top powers to consume extravagantly for a hundred years!
Since African countries have different areas, military strength, and national conditions, their positions in the wrestling field are also very different.
Some African countries with relatively strong national power often become test sites for new weapons developed by major countries. High-tech equipment that has just been developed in weapons laboratories and has not yet undergone actual combat drills will always occasionally appear here.
And those places with relatively weak national strength, such as Sierra Leone, where the national military strength is only 20,000 to 30,000 people, will become areas of competition for key resources.
The major powers will use so-called aid to legitimately penetrate and potentially control such small countries, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling their resources.
As for the common people in these countries, no one cares at all. There is less of everything in this world, but there are more people! Everything in this world is precious, but life is cheap!
Qin Anyi ran all the way, looking at the people of Sierra Leone with confused eyes in the distance, and felt very emotional in his mind.
However, it is a sigh of relief that Qin Anyi does not have much sympathy for the people of these other countries.
The world is too big, and one person's ability is too small. Many people live their whole lives, but when they die, they don't even have the ability to protect themselves and their loved ones. Naturally, they can no longer consider others.
With Qin Anyi's strength and identity, it is not difficult to protect himself, his family and friends, but protecting the people of a city or even a country becomes a huge burden.
If you can't even protect the people of your own country, how can you be in the mood to care about the lives of people in other countries?
The human heart is always selective and selfish, and saints who truly treat everyone equally only exist in legends.
There is no railway in Sierra Leone, and there is only a short asphalt road of only a few hundred kilometers, and the rest are all potholed dirt roads.
Qin Anyi kept running on this road for more than an hour, and finally entered the edge of the military-controlled area.
He stopped and took advantage of the surrounding natural environment to lurk and carefully observed the nearby situation. Opposite Qin Anyi was the Baohongma gold mining area controlled by the rebels, and behind Qin Anyi was the garrison of government troops.
.
However, the Sierra Leone government troops were relatively loose and did not notice that Qin Anyi had crossed their base.
Taking out the God of Thunder from his waist and wiping it, Qin Anyi licked his lips and quietly began to maintain his lurking state. When it got dark... it was time for him to take action...
