, in just over two years, the small tribe that used to be extremely inconspicuous has rapidly developed into a lively town.

A medium-sized hydropower station is under construction nearly ten kilometers southeast of Oguta town.

Oguta and Lonta in the south are located on the north and south wings of the southwestern mountains of Benin. The terrain on the south wing is gentler from high to low, while the terrain on the north wing is steeper.

This allows many streams and rivers in the south wing to be fully developed deep in the tropical rainforest, and has more abundant water resources to build a number of small and medium-sized hydropower stations.

The topography of the north wing makes it impossible to build a large number of small hydropower stations. However, as long as the investment cost is tolerated and dams are built in the upper reaches of several streams with extremely steep slopes, the power generation efficiency and scale of a single hydropower station will be higher.

Only when the first hydropower station is built can the town of Oguta get rid of the embarrassing situation of using diesel units to generate electricity. If the current international gold price was not still fluctuating around 800 US dollars per ounce, such high operating costs would be unbearable.

Only Cornero Energy has built a number of medium-sized hydropower stations in the jungle south of Oguta, and inputs electricity into the regional transmission grid of Cotonou-Povonov. Cornero Cement acquired the power station in the south of Cotonou Port.

Only in this way can the cement factory obtain cheap and stable power supply from the National Electricity Company of Benin according to the agreement.

Xiao Jun rushed from Akwa to Benin and met up with Cao Mo. It was also the first time for him to enter the Oguta training base. When passing through the towns, he saw that among the people, descendants of colonists accounted for almost 30 to 40%. He was surprised and asked Cao Mo

Mo: “Why are there so many white people?”

"They are all descendants of colonists, but according to the so-called one-drop principle that is popular in Europe and the United States, if they have mixed blood of Akan, Yoruba, Kanwa and other local people, they are all people of color, not white people.

"Now," Cao Mo said, "Benin does not have complicated ethnic contradictions and conflicts. Since its independence, compared with Kanem and Akwa, it has been much more stable, which has resulted in a large number of descendants of colonists from Kanem, Akwa, etc.

At present, the descendants of colonists account for more than 8% of the total population of Benin, and in the relatively developed coastal province towns such as Cotonou-Povonov, the descendants of colonists are more concentrated.

, so Benin is also known as the white country in black Africa..."

Oguta and Lonta depend on each other from the north to the south, and due to the stable political environment in Benin and its small country and small population, the political factional struggle is not complicated and easy to penetrate and exert influence. At the same time, the Cotonou-Povonov capital area has as high as 30

% of the population of descendants of colonists, Cao Mo decided to build the logistics base of the security company in Oguta.

Tubman Security Consulting Company employs a large number of young people of colonial descent for training and moves their families to Augusta, which makes the proportion of "whites" here look higher.

Cao Mo is currently promoting something in Benin and Canem, which is to build a new border road between Oguta and Lonta.

Due to the need for mining and construction of hydropower stations, only the last few kilometers of gravel roads extending into the jungle from Oguta and Longta have not been finally repaired. However, this involves principle issues such as border inspections between the two countries. Cao Cao

Mo didn't want to be bold enough to engage in smuggling. Of course, it was impossible to forcibly open a new channel between the two countries.

Of course, if this border road can be built, even if it is a little bumpier, narrower, potholed, and muddy in the early stage, it will be of great significance to the two countries, especially along the Gulf of Guinea; it will be very important to Tianyue's layout in Guinea.

Outstanding.

The most direct result of the construction of the new border road is that the distance between the town of Oguta and the Conero Lake Industrial Park will be shortened to less than 50 kilometers.

By then, not only will the two mining areas of Ibogu Mining actually form a whole, but the gold-bearing sand and gravel mined from the Oguta mining area will be transported to the refinery on the east coast of Lake Conero. There will no longer be a need to transship from the Port of Cotonou, and land transport will still be possible.

In addition to being shortened by half, Tianyue's industrial base and security force training base will also be more closely connected.

In addition to wanting to take over Taihua's project on the south bank of Lake Cornero, Cao Mo also didn't want to give up Dongsheng completely. In addition to Han Shaorong, another very important reason was that Dongsheng had several factories in the Lake Cornero Industrial Park and in

The entire layout of oil palm plantations in Lonta has great influence.
