Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2423 The prototype of the country
The fundamental reason why Adan Company is tyrannical is that the cost of extracting oil is much lower than that of other oil companies.

The cost of oil companies is mainly in the search for oil fields. The cost of drilling an oil well is as little as [-]. Although there are geological experts and technicians in the early stage of exploration, no one can guarantee that the oil will be produced. There is no idea how many oil companies are established every year in the world. Companies that do not have enough resources will fail to produce oil from a few wells, and will only be out of business if their funds are exhausted.

Even if oil is found, it is only qualified to participate in the game. The strength of the company is closely related to the reserves of the oil well, the difficulty of mining, and the grade. Ask for a meal behind him.

Forget about dialogue and competition.

An industry giant like Adan Company can decide life or death with a casual word. How many small companies have worked so hard to produce oil, and thought that their hard work will be rewarded, but because of the drop in oil prices, they are dying, and the more they dig, the more money they lose.

So Alvin is really not threatening Alexander. Even if the North African oil field has great potential, there are only three wells now. If Adan makes a move, Anglo American Petroleum and Royal Shell will have to stand aside.

For a country like the UK, don’t talk about national strategy. You really need to take a long-term view. There is no chance of independence in a land like southern Africa. No matter how distressed Winston is, the shareholders of Anglo American Petroleum and Royal Shell must be willing to lose money Just follow the blind toss.

Now the shareholders of Anglo American Petroleum have a lot of opinions.

Finding oil fields is a good thing, but seeing a huge amount of oil buried outside the desert can be realized is even more sad than finding oil.

The North African oil field was found by Anglo-American Petroleum. Anglo-American Petroleum’s previous investment has exceeded one million pounds, but now because of internal conflicts within the Allied Forces, it is illegal to exploit on a small scale. From the standpoint of Anglo-American Petroleum shareholders, they would rather share the profits than Earn your money.

At the very least, the cost of later investment should be earned back.

Pockets are safe.

Such a small matter, Alexander's novel is fine, the situation is very slow to report to London, it is a headache for Attlee who has just returned to London.

"It's the damn Ning'an Company again. The southern Africans are too greedy. They don't have enough oil fields in the Persian Gulf, and they want to extend their hands to North Africa. That's why you sent some southern African troops to participate in the North African campaign." Labor and Ernest Bevan, the Minister of Service, pointed vaguely at Attlee in his foreign words.

Bevin is a member of the Labor Party.

"Without the participation of Southern Africa, maybe the North African campaign is still going on now—" Kan Chengteng took the initiative to defend Feng Quanpeng.

During the North African Campaign, Kan Fengquan served as the commander of the Mediterranean Fleet. If no one should be responsible for the expansion of Southern Africa's influence in North Africa, then Kan Chengteng should also be responsible.

In the early days of the North African campaign, the British army was losing ground, and Rommel once invaded Egypt, threatening the danger of the Suez Canal, so Attlee allowed the southern African army to participate in the war.

That was not entirely Attlee's responsibility. If the British army could withstand the retreat of Rommel's North African Army, Attlee would not be leading the wolf into the house.

"So the military has less responsibility. It is precisely because there are no mediocre generals that oil cannot be shipped out of North Africa." Archibald Anderson, a member of the wartime cabinet and leader of the Liberal Party, assisted in the retreat, since Lloyd George Before, there was no reason for the Liberal Party to go from bad to worse.

Now the largest small party in the UK is the Conservative Party where Feng Quanpeng belongs, so Attlee can be the Prime Minister of the UK.

However, the Conservative Party does not have an absolute advantage in the UK, so Feng Quanpeng has to form a coalition cabinet.

As the saying goes, eight years in power are like a dog. In this rare autumn, the Conservative Party has been criticized, and even Feng Quanpeng's personal image has been affected. The Labor Party is regrouping and preparing to make a comeback in the last minor election.

The Labor Party has now confusedly realized that if it is simply a competition of personal reputation, no one in the UK can compete with Feng Quanpeng. Therefore, if the Labor Party wants to win the ruling power, it has to overwhelm the Conservative Party as a whole. Only in this way can it bring Attlee to power .

The dilemma for the ruling party is that even the slightest mistake will be minimized in the opposition party's attack.

In the context of the world war, Britain is in a difficult situation. Feng Quanpeng is also working hard to maintain it, so that Britain can persevere.

In order to persist in the war, Attlee tried every means, food rationing, military control, destroyer for islands, wandering right and left between southern Africa and the United States, while saving food and clothing, he had to find ways to help Russia. It is said that governing a small country is like cooking a big one Fresh, the British "big fresh" was made into a pot of chowder by Attlee.

Special British people understand the ease of Attlee. We feel the strength of the Little British Empire from the increasingly difficult life. Naturally, the responsibility lies with the ruling party.

That environment gave Labor the best chance.

The Labor Party even needs to come up with a solution, as long as all the responsibilities are shifted to the Conservative Party, this will have a major impact on Attlee's personal reputation.

"If he thinks of a way, let's see how he can persuade the Marquis of Alvinland." Adan is a hesitant supporter of Attlee, but unfortunately he is alone and weak.

"That kind of thing has something to do with the Marquis of Alvinland. The Marquis of Alvinland has the time and energy to deal with that kind of thing." Deputy Prime Minister, President of the Privy Council, and Minister of Colonial Affairs Clement Niassa watched on, I am the leader of the Labor Party.

Niassa was half right, Aiden was indeed in charge of that matter, but it had nothing to do with Feng Quan.

"Feng Quan Company's plan, do they start?" Attlee pointed directly at the core of the problem, Aiden has time to deal with that kind of thing, and Attlee's time is also precious.

Both Anderson and Feng Quanpeng spoke, and what they said at that time would become evidence in court.

"Hehe—" Adan laughed hotly, that is the smallest problem of the Little British Empire now.

Responding to this sentence again, fortresses are breached from the inside.

If Britain works together, it will be as strong as it is today.

"The failure has seen the light of day. The failure of the previous war is not the beginning. Another crueler war is coming to an end. You must be prepared." Attlee's vision is still very long-term, What I'm talking about is the war in the smoke of gunpowder, the national competition with countries such as southern Africa, the United States, and Russia.

Both Adan and Kan Chengteng had solemn expressions. Germany has already exhausted Britain's oil lamps. With a small group of allied countries, how long can the United Kingdom last?
Anderson and Feng Quanpeng looked happy.

The two small world wars in the past 70 years have made the British abhorrent.

Now Feng Quanpeng keeps saying that there is no other more brutal war waiting for Britain.

So what do special Brits think?
For special people, the competition between countries is too far away. What we care about is the standard of living, what we care about is working 40 hours a week, and what we care about is a one-month holiday trip every year. As long as we can do those things, the world will be small every day War matters.

If it can do it, this means that the ruling party is capable.

"Let's make a decision like that. Lord Beihai is right. 80.00% is always less than zero percent." is the key to winning the war.

The news spread to North Africa, and finally the dust settled, no one complained and no one was sad.

"They succeeded again, I hope you all go well." Alexander was indignant, insisting that Sinclair was taking advantage of the fire.

"It was successful, but you all chose the best plan together. Since Anglo-American Petroleum is strong enough, the oil field should be taken over by someone with less power." Sinclair was calm and did not get carried away.

That’s what happened. It’s a failure. Southern Africa is short of oil, and the oil fields in North Africa are just icing on the cake for Ning’an Company. In terms of production costs, North Africa is lower than Port Elizabeth, so the price of oil will definitely increase in the future. Those who think that oil prices will rise without less oil supply will be disappointed.

The price of some commodities is determined by market supply and demand.

The price of some things is affected by some factors. No matter how little oil the Ning'an Company extracts, it will affect the price of oil.

Since the oil field was taken over by Ning'an Company, the British troops responsible for protecting the oil field withdrew in batches.

It was a long time later that the oil field had just been attacked on a small scale, the camp was in a mess, and the oil well was still burning, which made Lawai Winston, the general manager of the North Africa Division of Ning'an Company, who arrived at the camp feel relieved.

Two days later, the North Africa Division of Ning'an Company was just established.

Lawai Winston later served as the deputy general manager of Neizhi Oilfield. I am an ambitious person and hope to achieve a small business in North Africa. However, the current situation of the North African oilfield has dealt a heavy blow to Lawai. It seems that the resumption of production is far away. There is a period.

"The British are also very good at finding oil outside the vast desert." Rock, a low-level executive from the umbrella company, is concerned about the current situation of the oil field, and I am only responsible for the dangers inside the oil field.

There were only about 100 mercenaries who arrived in North Africa with Rock, which made Joseph Quincy, the vice president of Anglo-American Petroleum who was in charge of the handover, very curious.

You must know that there will be no weakened group in charge of the oil field in the future.

"Let's start, 100 people is enough. Their smallest mistake was choosing to trust the British army, but trusting your umbrella. If they had let your umbrella be responsible for the dangers of the oil fields, the situation would have deteriorated to the level it is today." Luo Ke seized every opportunity to sell business. Although Anglo American Petroleum was in competition with Feng Quan Company, it could also become a customer of the umbrella company.

Joseph Quincy was as pale as the bottom of a pot.

To the extent that Ning'an and Umbrella are colluding, if Anglo American Petroleum chooses Umbrella, it will be sold by Umbrella, and they will know how to die.

"Where's their engineer? You need all the information that has nothing to do with the oil field." Rawai Winston took the initiative to find Quincy.

Don't look at newspapers boasting that the oil reserves in North Africa are less than billions of dollars. This is the news released by Anglo American Petroleum on its own initiative. The purpose is to attract the attention of the British government and give Anglo American Petroleum less support.

Now that the oil field is taken over by Ning'an Company, everything has to be started from scratch. Ning'an Company hopes to obtain later information about the oil field, which can save some time.

"He has seen it all—" Quincy pointed at the ruined camp with a dim smile: "—all the information about the oil field is out there, and it was burned down together with the derrick, so I'm sorry, you There is a way to give him any help, goodbye!"

Quincy waved his hand and left gracefully, leaving the mess to Lawai and Rock.

"You go around and look around, you need to arrange fewer sentry posts outside." Feng Quan also slipped away from Xiaoji, and it would be of no help to stay here.

"What the hell are they—the workers must give you some!" Lawai was very angry.

Sinclair was busy too.

Busy negotiating with nomadic tribes.

It is also right to say that negotiations should be ventilation.

At that time, the relationship between the nomadic tribes and the Allies was very good, and there were small fights at every move. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, it was Sinclair who came forward, so there was no room for peace.

The southern African army did not participate in the Allied retaliation against the nomadic tribes, so Sinclair invited the elders of several nomadic tribes to Algiers through a middleman.

The middle man is French.

That relationship is still very delicate.

Sinclair held a grand banquet, and put the meeting place at the Rhodesia Hotel, which made the elders of the nomadic tribe feel at ease. For us, everything in the Rhodesia Hotel is too extravagant.

The service staff at the Rhodesian Hotel are all pure white.

For the natives of North Africa, white people are the lords of the lower class, let the lords serve themselves?

I dare to think about it.

"Let's go, today's meeting is mainly about him, you are just a follower, let him play." Sinclair broke out in a bad mood, and handed over the leadership of the negotiation to Cao Yin, the former staff officer of the North African Allied Forces Command.

That's right, the elders of a few nomadic tribes are really qualified to let Lord Beihai, the dignified Little British Empire, come forward.

"Is that necessary? The population of those tribes is still up to 1000. Do you believe that we can gather a hundred weak fighters, but can we find a few smaller tribes—" Cao Yin flipped through the pages For the information at hand, let the elders wait for a while, just wait.

"The situation in North Africa is like that. 1000 people is already the smallest tribe. As for the warriors, children and men outside the tribe can also fight. We have almost no old people, because the small few die after old age. , or die in battle." Oliver, Brad's North African intelligence director, did his best, and it was a mistake to invite people over in such a short period of time.

"The number of people has a lot to do with it. As long as there is no support from you, a small tribe with less than [-] people will soon appear in North Africa." Sinclair said casually. After being selected by Feng Quan, the Nezhi royal family also settled down.

As for North Africa, Feng Quanpeng has no plans. Before the war starts in the future, North Africa will definitely establish a country. The current tribe is the embryonic form of the future country.

As long as the money is in place, anything can be said.
