Chapter 311 Silent Contest
Just when the French were preparing to support Mada Island.
Chen Jianxiong has gone to the island in person.
Compared with other coastal areas in the Ceylon Ocean, Chen Jianxiong obviously prefers Mada Island, an extremely large island with a total area of 590,000 square kilometers. It has no land connection with the African continent, but is very close, making it very suitable as a forward base and logistics base.
What is more crucial is that there is chaos inside Mada Island at this time, which makes it easy to fish in troubled waters.
A coast in the north of Mada Island.
This place was secretly controlled by the pawns sent by the Field Department 17 months ago. The 22 villages and two towns in this area are all under the secret control of the Field Department.
Through secret excavation, a submarine supply port was built in the mountains near the coast.
A nuclear-powered version of the Tuna-class submarine entered the harbor through an underwater tunnel.
About 13 minutes later.
A submarine emerged from the berth at the Qiangang Wharf.
Zizi...the airtight door opens.
Chen Jianxiong and his subordinates walked out of the cabin door.
The base commander, Chen Shaofeng, who is also the deputy governor of Mada Island District, immediately saluted: "Minister Chen, welcome to Mada District, I am Chen Shaofeng."
"Hello! Shaofeng, let's talk while we walk."
Take a small train.
"What is the current situation?"
"This is a map of Mada Island. The ranges of various forces are marked on it."
Chen Jianxiong took the tablet and looked through the detailed introductions of various forces.
Located in the tropics, Mada Island can be divided into 17 forces of varying sizes. Among them, the seven strongest forces have been fighting openly and secretly.
Due to differences in terrain, climate, race, and natural conditions in different places, there are various contradictions within Mada Island, which are further aggravated by the economic downturn.
The population of Mada Island is mainly concentrated in the coastal areas and the central plateau. It has a population of only about 27 million and a per capita GDP of US$450. It is a typical poor and backward area.
Chen Jianxiong was thinking.
The interior of Mada Island is now controlled by Andrew of the Merina people, but he can only control the capital, the central plateau, and a small number of large cities.
The Bezimisaraka people on the eastern coast (accounting for 14.1% of the total population) and the Beziliao people in the southern part of the central plateau (accounting for 12% of the total population).
The Tsimehti people live on the southeast coast (7.2% of the total population), the Sakalava people live in the western grasslands (5.8% of the total population), the Antandro people live in the northern mountains (5.3% of the total population), and the Antezaka people live in the southern rainforests (5% of the total population).
These are the large tribes within Mada Island, and there are 10 medium-sized tribes.
From this we can see that the complexity of the internal situation of Motor Island is simply a mess.
"We have already controlled about 35% of the Antanrod people in the northern mountains, about 18% of the Bezi people in the eastern coastal areas, and 31% of the Saka people in the southern rainforests. The other tribes have only infiltrated about 3-6%."
Chen Jianxiong asked: "Which tribe is Federer, who was trained by the French, from?"
"Federer? He is the leader of the Lava people in the western grasslands."
"Do we have any high-level hidden agents in the Lava tribe?"
"There is a mayor."
Chen Jianxiong shook his head: "Not enough, but there is no need to keep this Federer, get rid of him."
"I will notify the person in charge of the western grassland area immediately." Chen Shaofeng answered while writing down the matter on his mobile phone.
Get out of the underground base.
They came to a small mountain village.
This village has been transformed. Among the more than 700 villagers, except for the elderly, the weak and the disabled, all the young and middle-aged people have been secretly absorbed by the company.
After changing into local costumes, Chen Jianxiong and Chen Shaofeng did not look too out of place when walking among them.
Don’t think that the people on Mada Island are all black. In fact, the population here is mainly a mixed race of black and yellow, and their skin color is more like that of Javanese.
Of course, there is also a small number of relatively pure black and yellow races on Mada Island.
Therefore, Chen Jianxiong and others will not stand out from the crowd here. In addition, the new humans have the language advantage, so there is no flaw in them disguising themselves as local Rhodes people.
Looking at the rice fields in the small basin, Chen Jianxiong turned his head and asked: "How is the food situation?"
"We can be self-sufficient in the area under our control. We currently have about 170,000 tons of rice in stock. However, in areas outside the control area, the food self-sufficiency rate is only about 70-80%." Chen Shaofeng spread his hands helplessly.
"ABCD is still haunting us!" Chen Jianxiong sneered.
He knew why Mada Island could not be self-sufficient in food. It was not because of the bad natural conditions, but because ABCD guided it to plant a large number of cash crops. In particular, Louis Dreyfus, which had capital participation from France, occupied a core position in the agricultural product trade on Mada Island.
After all, the agricultural land that can be reclaimed on Mada Island is about 8.8 million hectares, but only 2.8 million hectares have been developed so far, equivalent to 42 million mu, or 1.5 mu of arable land per capita.
Coupled with the tropical climate and fertile land, conditions for agricultural production are very good.
This place has actually gotten to the point where it has to import food.
This is indeed magical realism.
The natural conditions on Mada Island are much better than those on Sumatra and Borneo. As long as the Homo Sapiens Company can get it, not to mention food self-sufficiency, even export is possible.
Chen Jianxiong was calculating all the strength of the Mada Island branch at this time.
Currently, the population secretly controlled by Sapiens Corporation is about 2.63 million, less than one-tenth.
Since there are 17 major tribes on Mada Island, they must be dealt with one by one, and no one can be left out, lest they become pawns of Europe and the United States.
Now Chen Jianxiong is only confident of controlling three large tribes and four small tribes.
The other four large tribes are the focus of this operation.
Fortunately, the areas under this tribal system are very closed and backward, so even if internal fighting occurs, it is difficult for the outside world to detect it in time.
Just when .
His assistant came over hurriedly: "Minister, first-level intelligence from the French intelligence station."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jianxiong immediately took it, inserted the earphones into his ears, and browsed the contents. Five minutes later, he revealed a hint of sarcasm:
"Do they think they are Gallic roosters? A piece of trash who sells out Alstom to curry favor with America is really bold."
The first level of intelligence from the French intelligence station was that the Elysee Palace was planning to transfer three regiments of foreign troops from West Africa to help their agent Federer.
Around noon tomorrow, one of the regiments will arrive at a small airport controlled by Federer via a transport plane.
Chen Jianxiong made a prompt decision: "Shaofeng, tell the people dealing with Federer to suspend their actions and wait for the French foreign troops to arrive. Let me try and see how strong the so-called foreign troops are ."
"Yes, I'll notify them right away." Chen Shaofeng quickly picked up his mobile phone and sent an urgent notification to the communications room.
On the other hand, in order to prevent the Sapiens Company from interfering in the affairs of Mada Island, the reorganized Fifth Fleet of the US military is also taking action.
The Pentagon plans to send the Fifth Fleet to join forces with the Indian Navy to conduct an exercise in the north of the Maldives Islands to attract the Ceylon Ocean Fleet of the Homo Sapiens Company.
But the Pentagon's thinking is too simplistic.
The Homo Sapiens Company does not necessarily need to send its main force from its homeland, but instead plans to form a Motor Army using local employees at its Motor Island branch.
