Gaoyang's plane did not land in Malakal, but directly landed more than 200 kilometers north of Malakal, where Morgan's oil field is located.
The city of Malakal has become chaotic. Sporadic gun battles have broken out in the city. As for the outside of the city, the war is imminent. Although the situation in Malakal is still within the control range, Gao Yang is not bad if they want to land in Malakal, but they just land in Malakal and then transfer to Morgan's oil field, It's easier to fly directly.
Malakal is the capital of South Niro Province in South Sudan, and across the border is South Kordofan Province in north Sudan, while Morgan's oil field is in Abyei, where the two countries have not been able to clearly belong.
In the 1980s, Chevron of the United States discovered several large oil fields in Abyei, most of which are located in southern Sudan.
Large oil fields were discovered, but chevron failed to exploit them. The civil war in Sudan forced Chevron to withdraw from Sudan, and the oil in Abyei has not been exploited.
North and South Sudan have been competing for Abyei. The last war here occurred in 2008. The misselia loyal to north Sudan and the Dinka, the largest tribe in South Sudan, have been in hostility. Small-scale tribal conflicts are common. After South Sudan finally became independent, the Nuer, who used to be a comrade in arms of Dinka, They also joined the Dinka people in seizing land and pastures.
Although the ownership of most areas of Abyei, especially the distribution of oil interests, has not been completely solved, Morgan came to South Sudan at the first time of South Sudan's independence.
Morgan signed an agreement with the government of South Sudan and robbed the exploitation right of an oil field in an undisputed area in South Sudan, but it was not enough for the photosynthetic government to reach an agreement. Morgan reached an agreement with a large Dinka tribe that actually controlled the area where the oil field was located, and robbed an oil field in a crisp manner.
Morgan, who started first, robbed an oil field, but did not intend to really exploit oil. Morgan's approach is very simple, that is, after seizing the oil field, find a real oil company to sell it, and doing industry has never been Morgan's choice.
With the exploitation right, it has occupied the site. Although it will not develop itself, it has to be optimistic about the site. At least Morgan must not let others rob his fruit before selling the oil field.
Morgan has no drilling equipment and personnel, but Morgan has built a living area in the area where the oil field is located. All living facilities are available. In addition, there are several mechanical facilities to highlight the sense of existence and represent the site. In addition, Morgan has also sent five people to stay in Malakal and the oil field for a long time, Responsible for communication with local officials and Dinka tribes.
Only five people are not enough. Morgan also keeps a security team of 30 people and usually stationed in his oil field. Anything can happen here. The signed contract says that tearing up is tearing up. If a nomadic tribe occupies the oil well to be exploited, it is not easy to drive it away, so Morgan wants to keep his fruit from being picked, We can only send people to guard until he sells the oil field.
After the tension between the Nuer and the Dinka people becomes tense, it is likely to evolve into an ethnic war. As the top leader appointed by Morgan in South Sudan, Colm has to rush back to the oil field to prevent the war between the Dinka and the Nuer from spreading to the oil field.
In order to save Gao Yang, Morgan really made great efforts. He not only used his relationship to find a military plane to send Li JinFang and distin to Malakal as soon as possible, but Colm also had to rush to Malakal from the oil field to arrange a small plane for Li JinFang and them in advance.
Morgan is absolutely interesting. Now Morgan's industry is facing a crisis, Gao Yang certainly can't stand idly by, and the relationship between distin and Morgan is not bad. It's a matter of helping for a few days. After a little discussion, distin and Gao Yang simply flew to Morgan's oil field.
None of the five men sent by Morgan to the oil field are combatants. If something really happens, they can only count on the 30 armed security guards recruited locally. The problem is that it's OK to show a sense of presence in peacetime. If there is a war, these people can't be expected at all.
With Gaoyang, the situation is very different. Firstly, the safety of the staff in the living area is guaranteed. More importantly, if necessary, Gaoyang can support the Dinka tribe cooperating with Morgan.
There are 47 people in the living area of the oilfield, most of them are security personnel, only a dozen engineers in charge of construction and a doctor.
There are four rows of simple houses in the living area. There are wells for drinking water and generators. It is rare that most of the houses have air conditioning.
Gaoyang's room has been prepared. Everyone has one. The room is prepared for senior managers. There is not only air conditioning, but also a bathroom, toilet and water heater.
He settled down temporarily in the camp, but Gao Yang's heart is still on the grassland. The whereabouts of the akuri tribe are unknown. Gao Yang must return to the grassland to continue searching. Now, he has to ensure the safety of Colm.
If the situation continues to deteriorate, Gao Yang has to escort Colm and them to leave, and then Morgan will find more armed personnel to protect his oil field. If the situation is completely controlled and there will be no danger, Gao Yang and them can leave. This time will not be too long. It should be able to confirm whether to evacuate or stick to it for a week at most.
After arriving at the camp, it was evening. After Gao Yang washed all the paint in his room, it was almost time for dinner.
After a short rest, Gao Yang and di stin went to the camp doctor to get malaria prevention drugs, and then attended a small welcome banquet held by Colm for them.
Only five people sent by Morgan attended the welcome banquet.
Although the living camp is built on the wilderness, the conditions inside are good. Morgan is not stingy with his staff and at least has a complete range of food. In addition, the living camp is less than ten kilometers away from a large Dinka tribe, and the quality of beef raised by Dinka people is quite good.
For Americans, the pattern of eating beef is not good, especially the cook for Gao Yang is Colm himself, and Colm is from Texas, so Gao Yang's dinner is Texas steak.
Texans are called red necks by people in other parts of the United States, which is a derogatory term similar to Hicks. German steak can't occupy the edge with elegance. There is a steak piled on a lot of French fries and a bottle of ketchup next to it. This is Texan steak.
After Colm's simple speech, what's left is to eat. Eating Texas steak on the African grassland can't occupy any side with elegance, so hungry Gao Yang is very happy. He doesn't have to put on airs and can eat casually regardless of his image.
After eating half full, the welcome banquet became a work banquet. Looking at Gao Yang and distin, they all ate almost. Colm touched Gao Yang with his glass and said with a smile: "welcome to be a guest here. You can be as comfortable as at home."
Gao Yang said sincerely, "thank you. Thank you for your help. In addition, thank you for your revolver. That gun helped me a lot. I can return your pistol to you later."
After taking Gao Yang, a white man also raised his glass. After touching Gao Yang, he smiled and said, "man, nice to meet you. Just call me Maguire. Now I'm curious. What do you think of my knife? If you don't mind, can you give it back to me? It's a knife I like very much. Taking it away by you is like killing me."
He shrugged and said in a deep voice, "thank you very much for your knife. Thank you very much. Similarly, your knife helped me a lot. However, I brought the knife back completely, but the problem is, I killed two people with that knife. I don't know if you mind."
Maguire was stunned and said in surprise, "I heard about you, but I didn't know you used a knife in revenge?"
Gao Yang nodded, made a stabbing posture from bottom to top, and said, "yes, night attack, I approached the enemy, and then solved them with a knife."
Maguire immediately said, "man, there are too few people who don't use guns but use knives to solve problems these days. I admire you very much. Wow, you are so powerful. I don't mind killing people with a knife, so please give it back to me."
After that, Maguire looked happy, raised his glass again and said, "pay tribute to you, guys, pay tribute to all of you. You know, I'm scared these days. I'm afraid a group of people will rush into the camp and kill us all, but now you're here, I can finally have a good sleep."
Then another man said with a smile: "Yes, it's great that you can come. Those security guards can't be trusted. If someone kills them, they will definitely run faster than anyone. You know, the Huaxia camp not far from us is like this. All the security guards they hired in the local ran away in case of an accident, the Huaxia people's workplace was looted, and some people were taken hostage. May God bless those poor hostages 。”
Colm also said with a sad face: "I've been to the Chinese construction site and had a meal with them. To be honest, their food is delicious and their people are very good. May God bless them."
At this time, Gao Yang and Li JinFang almost said in one voice: "there is a Chinese construction site? Tell me what's going on."
