Chapter 2408
After the outbreak of the Russo-German War, Russia's strength was greatly damaged, and its control over Persia declined. Britain took the opportunity to expand. Strictly speaking, Swift was right, Tehran was indeed British territory.

It's not impossible to say this, but saying this in front of Gundam is not only disrespecting Gundam, it is also a serious offense to Adan Company.

Considering the relationship between Gundam and Rock, Swift doesn't seem to realize that what he just said has risen to the point of offending Southern Africa.

"When a person like you is the general manager, it's no wonder that Anglo-American Company is going from bad to worse--" Gao Da was straightforward, speaking too tactfully for Swift not to understand.

Swift's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He didn't expect Gundam to be so direct. What about the gentlemanly demeanor?
Anglo American Petroleum is not good enough for Adan, but Swift himself is in Tehran, and he has never been ridiculed in public like this.

"You seem to have forgotten how Anglo-American Petroleum was driven out of the southern coast of the Persian Gulf. Now you want to provoke me, are you challenging Adan Company? Or are you saying that the days in Tehran are too boring and you want to have some fun?" Gao Da sneered , if Swift really thinks so, Gundam can satisfy him.

The panic in Swift's eyes was fleeting. If Adan Company expanded its scale in Persia, Anglo American Petroleum would really be unable to withstand it.

If it is purely commercial competition, Anglo-American Petroleum can still resist. After all, Anglo-American Petroleum has accumulated some capital in Persia for so many years.

The point is that if Adan Company expands its scale in Persia, then Neji Company will definitely follow along, and with the lingering umbrella——

The competition among oil companies exists only in the commercial situation.

The mercenaries are war hyenas who can do anything. Maybe Swift will die on the street one day, so what's the competition?

"I can't tell you either. I'll call Mr. Henry later and ask if this is what he meant." He was so unreasonable that Henry, the general manager of Anglo-American Petroleum, went to Algiers and was seeking Exploitation rights for oilfields in North Africa.

It is sad to say that Anglo-American Petroleum's biggest rival for the oil fields in North Africa is not Adane or Rockefeller, but Royal Shell, which is also a British oil company.

Royal Shell has also had a difficult time in recent years. Their oil fields are mainly in Romania, which are now under the control of the Axis powers, and they also urgently need blood transfusions from North African oil fields.

"Mr. Gouda, that's not what Mr. Swift meant. You misunderstood—" Kyle, the British ambassador to Persia, offered to rescue Swift.

"It's okay, I forgive him for his reckless behavior. After all, hyenas will be nervous when a lion comes to their territory." Gundam chased and fought fiercely. This description is too appropriate. Swift was indeed nervous and overreacted.

"As long as there are enough hyenas, lions can be killed—" Swift was cornered, but he lost his timidity as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Okay Harry, you're drunk—" Kyle tugged and tugged Swift away.

Now it is finally clean, and Pahlavi can finally have a good chat with Gundam.

Pahlavi said that he wanted to talk about Khuzestan with Gundam, not all to deal with it. He really wanted to change the status quo of Khuzestan, for example, imitating the cooperation model between Adan Company and the royal family of Najd, and setting up a new company to jointly develop Khuzestan. Oil and gas resources.

"Your Majesty, are you going to overthrow the agreement we signed with His Majesty Lisa Khan?" Gundam asked Pahlavi a difficult problem. When Adan Company signed the agreement with the Persian Empire, it signed the agreement on behalf of the Persian Empire. It's Lisa Khan.

It was precisely because of the signing of the agreement that Lisa Khan received the support of Adan Company and successfully overthrew the Qajar Dynasty.

"No, no, no, that's not what I mean. I just want to step up efforts to develop Khuzestan's oil. After all, this is also a good thing for Adan Company." Pahlavi needs to get back part of the benefits and appease the Persian dignitaries Secure your position.

"Forgive me to speak bluntly, Your Majesty, maintaining the status quo is more in the interests of Adan Company." Gao Da was not smiling. Too much oil production is not a good thing. It is not the value of oil itself that determines the price of oil, but the relationship between supply and demand.

"If you want, I promise, the Adam Company will gain the friendship of the Persian Empire, an eternal friendship." Pahlavi added.

"Your Majesty, this is not something we should talk about." Gouda wanted to get him hard, and Pahlavi's conditions were good, but not enough.

While Pahlavi and Gundam were testing each other, Kyle and Swift were having a dispute in the car returning to the British Embassy.

"Damn the southern African, I'm going to kill him, I'm going to kill him!" Swift was furious, recalling the scene in the palace just now, he still feels very embarrassed.

Swift was also careless. He didn't expect Gundam's counterattack to be so fierce. He lost ground for a while and completely lost his demeanor.

Looking back now, Swift is ashamed. Not only did he lose his personal honor, but he also implicated Anglo American Petroleum. When he scolded Swift, he was in front of everyone.

"I advise you not to do stupid things. Gao is the general manager of Adan Company. If he has an accident in Tehran, then all of us will be retaliated by the southern Africans." Kyle reminded Swift to calm down, and southern Africa must take revenge. Everyone knows that a little intolerance can lead to chaos and big plans.

"I will definitely do it seamlessly, without leaving any evidence." Swift is still confident in this regard. Anglo American Petroleum is not a serious businessman, and this kind of thing is familiar with it.

"So I said, all of us will be unlucky. I don't think southern Africans are in the mood to slowly investigate the truth of the matter." Kyle worked for the British Intelligence Agency before serving as the British ambassador to Persia, so he knows how to do things in southern Africa. Style it.

There is no need to talk about evidence for this kind of thing, just kill all the suspects. Although this is suspected of indiscriminate killing, it can form an effective deterrent. If someone wants to take risks in the future, they should think twice before acting.

"We lost Port Elizabeth, we lost Khuzestan, and now we have to lose the whole of Persia?" Swift sneered, this is all a good thing you officials did.

"The situation is not that serious. Lord Nyasaran and Prime Minister Winston have a very good relationship. They will meet in Tehran in a while, and they will definitely discuss this issue." Kyle knew that Winston came to Tehran this time The purpose and next year's combat plan are actually not important, what is important is to determine the attitudes of the southern Africans and the Russians.

Southern Africa has now shown its ability to replace the British Empire, which makes Winston extremely nervous, and he does not want to be a sinner of the British Empire.

Russia is also very dangerous for Britain. In the past, Russia was abandoned outside the mainstream society and unknown. Through the war with Germany, the world has a clearer understanding of Russians.

The Germans are scary, but the Russians are even more scary. Russia is not only full of blood, but also has a political system that is completely different from that of the United Kingdom. Compared with the former, the latter makes Winston even more uncomfortable.

Winston hopes to increase his understanding of Beard through the Tehran meeting.

Winston knew next to nothing about Beard at the moment.

"You shouldn't have any expectations of that person. If it weren't for someone to mediate, Southern Africa would never have gotten Port Elizabeth." Swift still felt heartbroken when he mentioned this incident.

No one thought there was oil hidden under the deserts of Port Elizabeth.

What's more, I didn't expect that the oil in Port Elizabeth has been extracted for decades, not only has it not been exhausted, but it has become more and more, almost endless.

If the Elizabeth oil field is under the control of Anglo American—

The picture was so beautiful that Swift couldn't even imagine it.

Therefore, not only Anglo American Petroleum, but also Royal Shell also hate Winston. It is said that the senior executives of Royal Shell cursed the Prime Minister when they were drunk, which has become a regular repertoire of senior banquets.

"It's meaningless to say these things now, I just want to tell you, don't provoke southern Africans, even if you don't do anything, don't intensify the conflict." Kyle didn't want to discuss this issue with Swift.

British officials are indeed responsible on this issue, but so are British businessmen.

At the beginning, the opportunity was fair for Rock and the British businessman. As a result, Rock bought Port Elizabeth at a very low price, and the British businessman did not show the slightest interest.

When Adan Company found oil in Port Elizabeth, Royal Shell woke up like a dream. Unfortunately, it has lost the opportunity to get Port Elizabeth.

As for Anglo American—

Anglo American Petroleum was not established when Rock bought Port Elizabeth.

Among the leaders of the four countries, Big Beard was the first to come to Tehran. He directly entered the Russian embassy in Persia. On the way from the airport to the Russian embassy, ​​an accident happened.

A Polish refugee threw a bomb at a bearded car as it passed by.

The bomb hit Beard's car accurately, but Beard himself was not injured, and even the vehicle was not damaged much.

After inspection, it was learned that the bombs thrown by the refugees were produced by Persian arsenals.

Because the technology was not good enough, the power of the bomb was not great, and it did not form too many fragments after the explosion, but was directly blown into two halves, a false alarm.

The greatest significance of this incident is to remind the leaders of various countries who are about to arrive in Tehran.

"Fortunately, the assassins didn't use the hand grenades we produced in southern Africa, otherwise we would have been able to go directly to someone's funeral." Yang Smother didn't like beards and was a little gloating.

"The Russians shot and killed [-] Poles in the Katyn Forest, and slaughtered the entire elite of the Polish country. The Poles are so pitiful—" Martin expressed sympathy for the Poles in his words.

Rock didn't participate in the discussion. The Poles are really pitiful, but they deserve it. This country is a standard little expert.

Rock, Jan Smudge, and Martin were on the plane to Tehran.

Beard, Winston, and Roosevelt have already arrived in Tehran, and Rock is the latest to leave.

Originally, Rock wanted to go to North Africa and Cyprus for a while, but he gave up under Martin's firm persuasion, because North Africa and Cyprus are not safe enough now.

Tehran is actually not safe, so Rock brought a lot of entourage this time, and the security personnel of the Secret Service alone exceeded 800 people.

"His Majesty Pahlavi wishes to re-discuss the issue of Khuzestan with you. I am curious, is there really so much oil underground in Khuzestan?" good chance.

"Really!" Martin knew the situation very well. Khuzestan was an area handpicked by someone, so it couldn't be wrong.

Rock's ability to "turn a stone into gold" is also well known. From Elizabeth to Khuzestan, and then from the Pilbara to the Iron Square, Southern Africa can have today's prosperity, thanks to Rock.

"Khuzestan's oil is not important, what matters is the determination of His Majesty Pahlavi." Rock has now separated from the level of a city and a pool, and controls the overall situation.

"Then do you want to meet him?" Gavin took notes hard, the old guys are not good at this, they are getting more and more cautious, more and more careful, not at all straightforward.

"There is definitely a chance." Rock did not refuse to meet with Pahlavi. Persia is still very important to the oil security of southern Africa.

The oil in southern Africa mainly depends on Port Elizabeth, and the location of Persia happens to be stuck at the exit of the Persian Gulf. If Pahlavi intends to cause trouble for southern Africa, it is really hard to guard against.

Among other things, if a certain Persian merchant ship accidentally dropped something while passing the Persian Gulf exit, it would be enough for a weakly protected oil tanker to drink a pot.

So it doesn't matter if you meet him, at least give Pahlavi a reassurance and let Pahlavi see some hope.

The speed of the special plane was very fast. It refueled once when it passed Addis Ababa, and then flew directly to Tehran.

Pahlavi prepared a grand welcome ceremony for Rock at the airport, Winston was also present, and neither the beard nor Roosevelt came.

Roosevelt is not in good health, so it is understandable not to come to pick up Rock. Is the bearded man really so afraid of death if he lives so reclusively?
"Locke, my old friend, you look almost the same as you were 40 years ago. God is so unfair." Winston looked at Rock and shook his head and smiled wryly. Rock was still tall and straight, but Winston had already From the original handsome boy to a bald and dumpy man.

"You don't look very good, pay attention to your health—" Rock was worried about Winston's health.

Winston has been in poor health for the past few years. He almost fell ill some time ago. The doctor told Winston to quit smoking and drinking, but Winston directly refused. In his words: If you don’t smoke or drink, you will live What's the point?

"This is the last time I will serve as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. After the war is over, I will definitely retire. Unfortunately, this time I will not be able to go to southern Africa as the governor."

After the end of the last world war, the years when Winston was governor in southern Africa were the happiest days for Winston, and Winston will always remember them.

Happy days are always short, Winston said this, but also wanted to bring back fond memories of Rock.

He succeeded.
