    During a trip to revisit his old stomping grounds outside Bergen, Charlie took Lin Wan’er, also known as ni, to an expansive oil field nestled far away in Nigeria, located in southeastern Africa. Here, a multitude of walking beam pumps operated around the clock, tirelessly working across the vastndscape. The entire in resonated with the rhythmic rotations of machinery, apanied by the cacophony of various other industrial sounds.


    As Africa’srgest oil producer, Nigeria’s oil sector serves as the backbone of its economy.


    In periods of high international oil prices, Nigeria held the title of the top oil-producing nation in Africa. While it may not have consistently held the number one position in GDP, it has reliably ranked among the top three.


    The oil field managed by the Qing Society has been in operation here for decades. Acquired through special means following Nigeria’s independence, it generates substantial profits for the Qing Society each year.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    This oil field boasts a profit of at least tens, if not hundreds, of billions of U.S. dors annually. Over the past several decades, it has generated tens of billions in cash ie for the Bankruptcy Society, and should it be sold, it could yield a cash influx of tens of billions at once.


    Across the world of the Brokerage Society, there are countless other industrial and mining operations, but this particr site stands out as one of the most lucrative bases, noted for its high market value.


    At this moment, two middle-aged men stood atop a towering drilling rig within the oil field, surveying the expansivendscape below.


    In the front, near the railing, stood Wu Shutong, the Grand Commander-in-Chief of the Right Army of the Poqing Society.


    Behind him was Lieutenant General Andre.


    Among the five military governorates of the Anti-Qing Society, the Right Military Governorate spans the most countries and covers thergest area, epassing all of Europe except for Russia and the entirety of the African continent.


    However, the headquarters of the Right Army Governor’s Office has always shifted among various European countries and has never settled in Africa. This is primarily due to the significantly poorer conditions found on the continentpared to Europe. The headquarters serves not only as the permanent workce for the Grand Governor and key generals but also as a residence for their families, making relocation to Africa undesirable for most.


    Wu Shutong rarely visits Africa unless absolutely necessary. This time, however, he brought his trusted aide Andre along because the three elders arrived secretly under Lord Ying’s orders. As the Grand Commander of the Right Army Governor’s Office, Wu was tasked by Lord Ying to personally wee and apany them, remaining on-site until the designated target appeared.


    The oil fields, filled with smoky air and the din of machinery, were a stark contrast to Naples in southern Italy. After just a few days in this environment, Wu Shutong found the pervasive scent of crude oil inescapable and unpleasant. This was one reason he preferred to ascend the towering drilling rig, where the noise and odor were considerably less oppressive than at ground level.
