Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2037 Fish or oil

After the Brazilian Civil War, Umbrella became famous and everyone had a new appreciation for the company.

Umbrella has always claimed that it only serves the private security field. It is best at personal security business, and it is always in a subordinate position when providing security services for large-scale events.

Of course, the actual scope of business is definitely not limited to this. The army formed by the umbrella company even participated in the world war, but this still cannot fundamentally change people's deep-rooted prejudice against the umbrella company. When mentioning the umbrella, most people are disdainful. "War Hyenas".

After the Brazilian Civil War, people were surprised to find that the "war hyena" of Umbrella had the ability to defeat the US Marine Corps. rhythm.

As a result, more and more people pay attention to this company with 25000 regular employees.

This makes people very embarrassing, the army of many countries does not have 25000 people.

The mercenaries of Key Umbrella Company are mostly experienced veterans, the kind who have really fought bloody battles on the battlefield. Everyone knows the significance of veterans to the army, so how strong will the army composed of veterans be? ?
People didn't know it before.

Know it now.

A unit composed entirely of veterans can defeat an opponent of the US Marine Corps even if the equipment is not dominant.

With the deepening of research on umbrella companies in various countries, more and more so-called "secrets" of umbrella companies have been exposed. Now the umbrella has attracted much attention. A French media used "iceberg" to describe the strength of the umbrella.

Everyone knows that the part of the iceberg exposed to the sea is only a small part, and the part hidden under the sea is even larger. No one knows how big it is. The current umbrella is obviously like this.

Unlike the protective umbrella that has been established for 30 years, Pan Asia Co., Ltd. was established in less than two months, and it was obviously established for the oil fields in Sarawak.

The background of Pan Asia Co., Ltd. is complicated. It not only has the background of the Japanese government and Japanese military enterprises, but also the technology part is provided by American oil companies. The location of oil wells will be determined and exploration efforts will be expanded in the waters off Sarawak.

Strictly speaking, the current Sarawak is not a British colony, but an independent kingdom established by white people - the Brooke Dynasty.

The first king of the Brooke Dynasty, James Brooke, was a British and served in the East India Company army. In 1837, James Brooke planned the independence of Sarawak. He was appointed Governor of Sarawak in 1841 and announced the following year Form the Kingdom of Sarawak.

最初的沙捞越面积很小，不过在随后的1853年、1861年、1883年、1890年和1905年，沙捞越的领土一直都在扩张，直到今天面积已经超过12万平方公里。

The current King of Sarawak, Charles Brooke, is the nephew of the first King of Sarawak, James Brooke.

Charles Brooke, originally named Charles Johnson, inherited the surname of James Brooke when he succeeded to the throne.

Although he is the king of Sarawak, Charles Brooke does not live in Kuching, the capital of Sarawak, but lives in the more prosperous Lion City all year round.

The Japanese Embassy in Sarawak in Kuching is a wooden building with a traditional oriental style. Satoshi Tsunoda, the president of Pan Asia Co., Ltd., has lived here since he came to Kuching.

Sarawak is rich in all kinds of valuable timber, and was once one of the world's largest exporters of tropical hardwood. Before the discovery of oil fields, timber export was the main economic pillar of Sarawak, in addition to oil palm, pepper, rubber and other economic crops.

Oil palm and natural rubber are also badly needed in Japan.

Of course, it can also be said in other words, as long as it is the industrial raw materials needed by modern industry, Japan lacks and wants--

It's a pity that I can only think about it.

"Southern Africans came to Sarawak earlier than us. Now the plantations in Sarawak are basically controlled by southern Africans or East Indians. We came to Sarawak at about the same time as southern Africans, but the empire The emphasis on Sarawak is obviously insufficient, and if we want to save the situation, we need to increase investment in Sarawak.” Satoshi Kakuda has great ambitions, and these countries in Southeast Asia, like African countries, are actually treasure houses.

It's a pity that the Japanese came too late.

In Southeast Asia, the United States colonized the Philippines, the British colonized Malaya, the French colonized the French East Indies, and the Dutch East Indies became independent. Now it is the sphere of influence of southern Africa. Japan can only look at the ocean and sigh.

"The hands of European and American ghosts and animals are stretched too far. Asia should be Asia for Asians, and all European and American ghosts and animals should be driven away!" Nakamura Hei, the Japanese ambassador to Sarawak, came from a military background and had a tough attitude. Like most Japanese, Nakamura Hei Is a staunch supporter of the Japanese version of the "Monroe Doctrine".

So the same sentence, under the background of corruption, everyone in Japan is responsible. Without the fanatical support of the people, it is impossible for Japanese careerists to come to power.

Since military expansion has enjoyed the dividends of national development.

Then when the expansion fails, you should bear the corresponding consequences.

"Our exploration has made new progress. The reserves of the oil field are likely to be more than 200 million tons, and the highest may reach the level of [-] million tons." Satoshi Tsunoda is very excited. The more reserves, the greater the benefits.

Of course, this is not all good.

Anglo American Petroleum and Royal Shell look down on the 200 million tons of oil fields.

It is still worth investing in an oil field with a level of [-] million tons.

So Nakamura Hei's first reaction was to conceal the news.

"Block this news immediately, and speed up our speed to build offshore oil wells as quickly as possible. The empire needs oil." Nakamura was born in a black soldier, so he naturally understands how strong the Japanese military's desire for oil is.

Japan is still better than Westerners in this aspect. After all, it is deeply influenced by Chinese culture and has the concept of planning for a rainy day.

Although the United States agreed to blockade Japan, it was still secretly doing business with the Japanese.

But if one day the Americans suddenly resolutely implement the sanctions decision of the League of Nations and interrupt the trade with the Japanese, the Japanese planes and tanks will be completely slumped.

In fact, warships do not depend much on oil. Now the main power of warships in most countries is still steam engines. Only countries like the United States and southern Africa that do not lack oil will use more and more internal combustion engines, but steam engines are still the main force. .

Even if the Japanese United Fleet has no oil, it can still use steam engines, so it will not lie down.

However, aircraft and army tanks all use internal combustion engines, and without oil, they are a pile of scrap iron.

"The oil platform we ordered has already been shipped in the United States and is about to start shipping. Construction will begin as soon as the oil platform arrives." Tomoya Kakuda is worried about nights and dreams.

Kakuda Satoshi's worries are not without reason.

While the Japanese were in full swing preparing for the oil platform, King Charles Brooke had a guest in his palace in the Lion City.

A guest Charles Brooke could not refuse.

"Your Majesty, good morning—" Danny Johnson is a senior manager of the South African company, which controls all the timber export business in Sarawak, so Danny Johnson does not need to make an appointment to see Charles Brook.

"Good morning Danny, the sun is shining today, so the news you brought me must be good news, right?" Charles Brook was in a good mood during this time, and the discovery of the oil field would become another big source of income for the Kingdom of Sarawak. Charles Brooke's personal fortune would increase rapidly.

This is the difference between Rock and Charles Brooke.

When Roque earned a certain amount of money, he began to consciously increase employee salaries and benefits and mass-produce the middle class on the premise of ensuring the necessary funds for enterprise development.

The discovery of oil fields in Sarawak has nothing to do with the Sarawakians. All the money given by the Japanese falls into Charles Brooke’s personal pocket. Charles Brooke’s favorite thing to do now is to calculate his own wealth.

After Pan Asia Co., Ltd. paid the first fee, Charles Brook's first reaction was not to give benefits to the people, nor to invest in the infrastructure construction of Sarawak, but ordered a 110-meter ship from Edward Shipyard. meters of luxury yachts.

As for private jets—

Charles Brooke already has three.

"Yes, of course it's good news—" Danny Jonson's smile made people feel refreshed, but Charles Brook knew how ruthless Danny Jonson was.

Just two months ago, loggers in Sarawak went on strike for better wages.

The South African company did not compromise. According to the company's relevant regulations, after the strike lasted for more than a week, all the striking workers were fired, and then a group of African-American workers were sent from Africa thousands of miles away.

This result surprised the loggers in Sarawak.

It is important to know that the salaries of African workers are actually similar to those of locals in Sarawak.

Therefore, with the addition of freight, the cost of the South African company will definitely increase.

But Danny Jonson would rather do this than increase the wages of the loggers, which made life difficult for all the striking loggers.

At this time, those strike workers wanted to return to work in the company, but the South African company had already refused to accept it.

"Your Majesty, as you know, our South African company is the largest food processing enterprise in the world. Our great Mr. Rhodes decided to set up a food processing factory in Sarawak to process Sarawak seafood locally. More jobs for Sarawak and more income for you.” Danny Johnson’s words got Charles Brook excited, which must be a good thing.

However, after Charles Brook had a deep understanding of the South African company's plan, Charles Brook had a difficult time.

Sea fishing grounds are also included in the South African company's plans.

This part highly overlaps with the area of ​​the oil field.

Charles Brook even suspected that the South African company was aiming at the oil fields.
