Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 622 We've made thorough preparations! (Second update!)
This is a game of strategy, a game of poop!
However, Lin Yi had another question: where did ETIM get five or six hundred people in the past ten days?

Was it all the power, or were other people involved?

Just as he was racking his brains, Leng Yun slammed his hand on the table and said angrily, "This is aimed at us. I seriously suspect that there are other people involved."

"Who could it be?" someone nearby asked, but received no answer.

Because too many people want to drag others down with them.

First it was America, then those bastards from England and France, and then there's Türkiye, India, and even Iran, all trying to drag others down with them.

As long as the situation becomes chaotic, they can profit from it and obtain the benefits they want.

At this moment, Leng Yun slammed the marker in her hand onto the table:

"We must take action on this; we must respond."

“If there is no response this time, they will become more and more demanding, and even terrorists operating in other places, especially those operating in Africa, will become even more demanding.”

"Go all out on our international projects, until that day comes."

"Our overseas projects are completely impossible to carry out."

"While these guys are in Pakistan, and our relationship with Pakistan is still pretty good, and Pakistan is willing to cooperate with us, let's smash them in one punch, knock their heads off, and let them know that messing around will lead to trouble!"

After he finished speaking, several people around him raised their hands in succession:
"I agree with Mr. Leng's idea!"

"Mr. Leng, we may need to add more manpower this time, because they still have hostages."

"Mr. Leng, I saw in the relevant information that there are also people from other companies who have been detained. Should we contact these people's countries and take joint action?"

"I don't think it's a good idea. If we do joint operations, our weapons and equipment will definitely be leaked. Once they're on guard, it won't be good for us."

Listening to these conflicting opinions, Leng Yun hesitated for a moment before issuing the order:

"Within two hours, I will put together a battle plan, and then I will report it to my superiors for their decision."

"The leaders said we should unite and act together, so let's act together."

"If the leaders say we don't need to worry about them, then we don't need to worry about them."

"Logistics staff, be prepared to depart at any time."

"The comrade in charge of external liaison, contact Pakistan and tell them that our people are preparing to go there, and that they should be prepared. This matter must be kept secret!"

Task instructions were distributed one by one, and individuals left to be assigned their respective tasks.

Balochistan, Pakistan.

Ninety percent of Pakistan's mines are located in mountainous areas, and ninety percent of those mountainous mines are in Balochistan.

However, this area happens to be the region with the highest ethnic sentiments outside of North Waziristan. In addition, it is located at the junction of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran, and is also near the sea, making terrorist activities here even more frequent.

Balochistan, Chagai.

This area was originally a barren land, but in 1993, the Pakistani government conducted exploration here and discovered a huge copper mine in a place called Rekdik, with estimated ore reserves of 56 billion tons.

The copper grade is 0.41%, and the gold grade is 0.22 grams per ton.

From that time on, the place became very lively.

Abdullah stood on the cliff, his gaze fixed menacingly on the copper mine below. Within his sight, numerous armed terrorists were laying landmines and bombs on the cliff and along the most important routes.

Just then, he heard footsteps approaching. He turned around and saw his deputy, Hati Bayi.

The other person walked up behind Abdullah and whispered a report:

"I have already released all the videos of the hostages. If nothing unexpected happens, in a few days, the international community will be calling for our destruction."

"However, we have made full preparations. We have laid mines on several roads leading into the mine and on several suitable helicopter landing sites."

"Inside the mine, we also reinforced those buildings to effectively defend against bombs and bullets."

"If they dare to attack, we will make sure they never return!"

“Very good!” Abdullah took a step forward, sat down on a protruding rock, and stared intently at the people below who were planting bombs.

It's like looking at lovers who are deeply in love.

"To be honest, I've always felt that bombing ordinary people is pointless. If you're going to bomb, you have to bomb the regular army, you have to confront them head-on, and blow them up."

"Only in this way can we prove our strength."

Hearing his grand pronouncements, Hati's lips twitched slightly, but in the end, he turned the words he was about to say into a sigh.

This is what happens when someone gets carried away.

However, what the other side said is also true. Only by defeating the regular army in a head-on confrontation can they demonstrate their strength and their power to the world.

If your fists are strong enough, a lot of people will naturally join you, and as the number of people increases, the stronger they will become.

He waited a few minutes and received a reply from Abdullah:
"Go and reinforce the defenses!"

"I'm going to crush their arrogance here, and I'm going to tell the whole world that we are the most powerful!"

"Joining us is better than joining any ISI!"

Hati grunted in agreement, turned around, and walked down the cliff along the path he had come from to continue strengthening the defenses.

On the northeastern hilltop, unnoticed by the two men, two hastily dressed men were lying in the shadows, backlit, using binoculars to survey the entire mine.

The two men were astonished to see the terrorists frantically reinforcing their defenses through their binoculars.

"What are they trying to do? They've taken hostages, aren't they going to take them to their territory?"

"It looks like they intend to use this as a base and hold out there!"

"What a joke! This is a mine. Everyone is trying to compete for this mine to get it running and get a bigger share of the profits, not to ruin it!"

"That's your idea. Their idea is to control this mine. If you're so capable, come and blast it. After you're done, you'll have to repair it! It all depends on whether you're willing to let it go!"

"You bastard, let's go. We've seen enough. It's time to go back and report on these matters."

"Watch out! I think someone's watching us!" "We've hidden ourselves so well, how could anyone be watching us? Let's get going!"

As they spoke, the two men emerged from the shadows, carefully crouching down and slowly climbing down the ridgeline. Once they estimated they had reached a safe spot, they stood up, quickly descended the mountain, found their motorcycle hidden in the bushes, started the engine, and sped away from the area.

About half an hour after they left, a person suddenly emerged from the crevice in the rock behind the shadowy spot where they had been.

The other person glanced at the spot where the two had left, then quietly crept to the shadows where they were hiding, pulled out a worn-out telescope, and continued to observe the distant mine.

After inspecting the mine, he left in another direction.

After descending the mountain, he found his hidden motorcycle, started it, and drove towards the nearby Mali tribe.

He rode his motorcycle for dozens of kilometers before finally returning to the tribe.

As soon as I stopped the car, someone came over and asked, "How was it?"

The man shook his head. "Chief Sadar, we've been fooled by those guys. Their goal isn't the mine's profit at all; they want to destroy it!"

Upon hearing this, Sadar's face twitched violently, and he let out a shriek: "What the hell? You didn't see wrong?"

“I didn’t see wrong!” The man shook his head vigorously and told him everything he had seen. At first, Sadar Mari didn’t pay much attention, but when he learned that those guys were strapping bombs to the machinery and putting bombs in the mine, he instantly became furious.

In the Chagai region, there are several well-known tribes, the largest of which is the Resani tribe, one of the most powerful tribes in Balochistan. The chief of this tribe has long been involved in organizing political activities in Balochistan.

In fact, their current chief is also the chief minister of Balochistan, and can decide the policies of Balochistan with a single sentence.

Behind the Resani tribe is the Mali tribe, which he leads, followed by the Bugti tribe, the Mengar tribe, and the Notani tribe.

These tribes have a poor relationship with the Pakistani central government. They protest frequently, and if their protests fail, they resort to armed conflict.

But despite the fighting, the Pakistani government approves of the development of mineral resources in Balochistan.

Because mining can bring in money, and with that money, their tribe can grow stronger.

This is a good thing for them.

However, the tribe and the Pakistani government are locked in a fierce battle over the distribution of benefits, with neither side willing to give in.

All they want is money!

money!
money!
Their original intention in bringing in ETIM was to have these guys put pressure on the Pakistani government to make concessions on the distribution of mineral resources, so that they could take the opportunity to gain more benefits.

But to my utter surprise, these bastards were pure warriors.

They want to blow up the machinery, demolish the existing mine shafts, and burn down the factory buildings.

If they succeed, the mine will be completely ruined.

Faced with such a blow, other mining companies will think twice before entering the market.

If mining companies don't come in, it means they won't get any profits from the mines.

Then all their efforts would have been in vain!

We have to kill these bastards!

Killing these guys would be a way to ease tensions with the central government, and then we can talk things over later!

Having made up his mind, Sardar Mari returned to his residence and immediately called the chief of the Resani tribe, Slam Resani.

As the Chief Minister of Balochistan, Slam Resani has absolute say and decision-making power in the Rekdik project.

Of course, this power of speech and decision-making is also for the purpose of making enough money.

So after receiving the call from Sardar Mari, he was completely distraught.

During this period, he was preparing to forcibly halt the Rekdik project on the grounds of ecological resource destruction, and then use this to blackmail the Pakistani government, as well as the Chinese and Canadian companies that had come to invest.

He just wanted to call a halt!
He just wanted to call a halt!
I had no intention of ruining this project!
ETIM and his group's infiltration of Balochistan was actually orchestrated by him, and this was also a threatening tactic.

Little did I expect that my move would be like inviting wolves into the house, and that these bastards would ruin the project.

I wanted to kill those guys, but then I remembered that there were five or six hundred of them, with a lot of light and heavy weapons, and they were in a superior position. If we attacked, our tribe could win, but it would be a Pyrrhic victory.

Once you lose these tribal forces, the surrounding tribes will definitely turn against you and seize your power.

In an instant, countless thoughts raced through his mind, and finally, he said to Sardar Mari on the other end of the phone:

"I will report this to the authorities and let them handle it!"

After hanging up the phone with Sadar, Salam did not immediately inform the authorities as he had been instructed. Instead, he picked up a satellite phone and dialed an unknown number.

The satellite phone call connected, and the person on the other end spoke in Turkish:
"Mr. Slam, how have you been?"

"You want to destroy the mine?" Slam asked through gritted teeth.

When his purpose was guessed, Abdullah was not in a hurry. Instead, he continued to entice him, saying, "Mr. Slam, you have been protesting against the Pakistani government's destruction of ecological resources. If I just destroy this mine, there will be no mine, and there will be no destruction of ecological resources. Shouldn't that be exactly what you want? Why are you talking to me in this tone?"

"Good, good, good!" After saying "good" three times, Slam didn't waste any more words with the person on the other end of the line. He hung up the satellite phone, turned around, and used the office phone of the Chief Minister of Balochistan to call Islamabad.

This message was relayed to the Islamabad authorities.

Islamabad received the news, and when their own people relayed it back, the two sides confirmed that they only wanted to kill.

In fact, not only are several tribes in Balochistan dissatisfied with the distribution of benefits, but the Pakistani government is also not entirely happy with it.

They want to acquire more shares from the two companies they've invested in.

Therefore, they have always been in a state of ignoring the demands of a few tribes like these.

As long as things don't go too far, we'll just stand by and watch, and when things start to get heated, we'll step in and act as peacemakers.

He then casually mentioned his own conditions.

They never expected that these terrorists who suddenly appeared would actually destroy the entire mine!

Damn it, you destroyed the mine, are you going to pay me back?
In a fit of extreme anger, Islamabad packaged up the relevant information and handed it all over to Qian Hongyi, who was still in Pakistan, effectively washing its hands of the matter.
