Chapter 577 The Shadow of War
Yang Dongsheng once bought the shares of Lixin Group, so he has some understanding of Lin's garments and the current situation of the Lin family.

The current head of the Lin family is the second son of Lin Baiyi, the founder of Lixin. This Lin Ershao, who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, likes female stars as much as Liu Xiong, but he does not have Liu Xiong's ability to make money.

In the early 90s, Lin's Garment had a market value of tens of billions, and was once a constituent stock of the Hang Seng Index.

However, since Er Shao Lin took over, a series of losses began, and the company was also excluded from the Hang Seng Index.

At the beginning of the year, the second young master Lin also participated in the cyberport support operation, and pledged the shares of Lin's clothing!
After Yang Dongsheng bought Lin's garments, the market value once exceeded 10 billion, but with Yang Dongsheng's withdrawal, the market value of Lin's garments has now fallen to less than 2 million - this value is much lower than the same period in the previous life.

The Hong Kong stock market seems to have a total market capitalization of 10,000+ billion, and Yang Dongsheng only took away more than 2000 billion, but the stock market is mostly a bubble, and the total real money in it is only a few hundred billion.

Yang Dongsheng bought Lin's Garments at a price of less than 50 million at a [-]% premium.

Not long after signing the contract, James Whistler also came to Hong Kong. He has bought all the basins that may contain oil and gas at the junction of Texas and New Mexico.

In addition, he also took over a large number of mines and land in Greenland.

Greenland is rich in natural resources - copper, molybdenum, gold, lead, zinc, oil, natural gas...

However, most of the island is located within the Arctic Circle, making mining extremely difficult.

Moreover, environmentalism has been prevalent in Western society in recent years. Many lands and mines have never been developed after being bought.

Greenland is located in North America, and most of the mines are controlled by American capital. Alice took the opportunity to buy these mines.

"This is the current situation of Universal and Columbia!" James Whistler took out a stack of materials.

Yang Dongsheng read it quickly, put down the information and said, "Universal's situation is too complicated. Under the same conditions, I suggest buying Columbia!"

After Seagram's young owner took over Universal, he bought a lot of media companies in an attempt to become the next Murdoch, but this young owner's vision is far behind Murdoch.

Moreover, Universal is no longer in the hands of the Japanese. If they let go, the French are most likely to take over Universal, while Columbia Pictures is still in the Japanese.

In the previous life, the Japanese used such a Hollywood giant to do a lot of tricks on China.

Yang Dongsheng naturally hoped to take this opportunity to cut off this black hand!
What's more, Columbia still has the film copyright of "Spider-Man".

"If Columbia is won, immediately suspend the "Spider-Man" project, I have a big plan that needs to be implemented!" The previous Marvel movie started with an unpopular superhero like "Iron Man". It was a very risky and helpless choice. In this life, Yang Dongsheng plans to start from the perspective of "Spider-Man", "In addition, whether it is winning Universal or Columbia, once the contract is finalized, immediately buy the film adaptation rights of "Transformers" !"

After James Whistler reported, Freddy Krueger stepped forward, "We are in trouble, the French are going to attack us!"

"The French Foreign Legion?"

Their conflict with the French Foreign Legion has a long history.

Don't look at the lot of milk jokes on the Internet, the French in Africa are synonymous with abundant martial arts.

The French Foreign Legion was originally stationed in Chad, which is more than 3000 kilometers away from Liberia.

However, recently the French Foreign Legion suddenly began to gather a large number of troops in the southern area of ​​Mali, and the distance from Liberia was suddenly shortened to less than [-] kilometers.

Moreover, the French also began to hoard 120mm armor-piercing bombs, laser-guided bombs and cluster bombs.

The main weapon of the AMX-10RC heavy armored vehicle of the Foreign Legion is a 105mm rifled gun, which does not use 120mm shells at all. The Leclerc main battle tank only uses 120mm armor-piercing shells.

Laser-guided bombs and cluster bombs are used by fighter jets, and the French Foreign Legion has no air force at all.

All this shows that the French regular army will also participate in the war, and the only target worthy of the French regular army in this area is Liberia, and the foreign legion is enough to fight other countries.

This is a tricky question.

Both the Rafale and the Mirage-2000 have a combat radius of more than 1500 kilometers, and they can cover Liberia by taking off from southern Mali.

The MiG-29 and Su-24 equipped by Freddy Krueger and the others have a combat radius of less than 1000 kilometers, and there is no aerial tanker, so they cannot reach the French base at all.

The ground equipment is also completely backward. The main battle tank they equip is the T-72, which is smuggled for the Soviet Union's own use. It may be better than the batch of T-72 equipped by Iraq, but Leclerc is not inferior to the Americans at all. The M1A1.

The swap ratio probably won't be much better than during Desert Storm.

The air force can't fight, the army can't fight, this is their trouble.

"Have the Americans ignored it?" Yang Dongsheng asked.

Liberia has a special relationship with the United States, which is one of the reasons why they chose Liberia as their base.

"Not long ago, the United States, Adimon and Cargill proposed to purchase the corn and wheat we planted in Africa, but we rejected it! Our agricultural plan in Africa has already harmed the interests of the Americans, and the Americans are happy to see the French teach us a lesson." James Whistler Road.

"What do you need, nuclear bomb?" Yang Dongsheng said.

"No, no, no!" Freddy Krueger waved his hands quickly, "According to our intelligence, they didn't build strong bunkers for these ammunition and fuel, we plan to use the air force to destroy their ammunition and fuel, so that They will also be unable to fight, but the combat radius of the MiG-29 and Su-24 is too small, especially to avoid radars requires low-altitude penetration, and the combat radius has to be greatly reduced."

"What are you going to do?"

"We plan to let the MiG-29 and Su-24 take off with full fuel, use the An-22 to carry fuel, ammunition, battery cars, land in Guinea halfway, refuel and mount ammunition, but we cannot use any existing airport in Guinea, the French The intelligence capabilities are not bad either! Before the operation, we have to clean up the French eyeliner around the base, and the bombing must be completed before the French react!"

"So you need an airport that never existed?"

"Yes! The Su-24 is a front-line bomber, the MiG-29 is a front-line fighter, and the An-22 is a propeller transport aircraft. They can all take off and land on a simple runway, but after months of heavy rain, the ground in Guinea has long been covered. Soaked, even the MiG-29 can't take off and land!"

"When are you going to do it?" Yang Dongsheng asked.

"The French will definitely choose to fight in the dry season. We must destroy their base before the dry season comes!"

There are only two seasons in West Africa - the rainy season from May to October every year, and the southwest monsoon blowing from the Gulf of Guinea brings abundant rainfall and muddy roads; The trade winds in the barometric belt, the weather and the road conditions are all suitable for fighting.

"No problem, you choose a location, and there is still time. After the operation is over, I will erase the traces of the airport's existence! Now I need you to deal with one person for me!"
