Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 616 Toothache

It sounds like a fantasy, but Kuwait, which has a total area of ​​only [-] square kilometers, actually accounts for one-tenth of the world's total oil reserves.

The fact is that this small place along the coast of the Persian Gulf, it seems that every grain of sand contains oil, which is inexhaustible and inexhaustible.

But in this era, apart from the fact that Kuwait is really sand, no one knows that there are rich oil fields underground in Kuwait.

Without Roque's involvement, Kuwait's oil would not be discovered until 1938. This time and space, this time node will definitely be greatly advanced.

In fact, just last year, the first oil field in the Middle East was discovered in Iran. However, compared with Romania and Baku, Iran's oil fields have not attracted the attention of Britain, France and other countries, so Roque was able to pay a mere [-] pounds. Price to buy Kuwait.

Yes, only [-] pounds in Kuwait, with a total area of ​​[-] square kilometers, will become the training base of the umbrella company in the Middle East.

So Sidney Milner didn't understand why Rock did this.

"What can I do? London has always opposed the Umbrella Company's base in Nepal. Last year, there were nearly 3000 people receiving training at the Umbrella Company's base in Nepal. This year, there are only more than [-] left. London only recruits [-] people. Gurkha mercenaries in the battalion, countless Nepalese youths are looking forward to it, but London just refuses to expand the scale--" Rock is also full of complaints, London just occupies the latrines, and he refuses to increase the number of conscripts, nor let Southern Africa has expanded its enrollment, so Rock is really not making excuses. The umbrella company really needs a new training base.

Now it seems that Kuwait seems to be the best choice.

"It's up to you, who will let you spend so much money—" Sidney Milner didn't realize how much loss Rock's behavior would bring to the British Empire.

In fact, not much, and Britain has never paid much attention to Kuwait. In 1899, Britain forced Kuwait to sign the secret agreement between Britain and Kuwait, and Britain became the suzerain of Kuwait.

In 1938, oil was discovered in Kuwait.

In 1939, Kuwait officially became a British protectorate.

Then in 1961, Kuwait declared independence.

So even though Kuwait discovered oil, Britain still didn't pay much attention to Kuwait. Just like the current Egyptian governor, Roque only tentatively offered a price of [-] pounds, and the Egyptian governor couldn't wait to sell Kuwait to Roque.

It's as if if you promise later, Rock will regret it.

"Hehe, do you want to get a share? Otherwise, don't blame me for not reminding you—" Rock offered to send money to Sidney Milner, just to see if Sidney Milner could seize the opportunity.

"Ha, I'm not as rich as you. In my opinion, let alone [-] pounds, even [-] pounds is too expensive." Sidney Milner snorted.

"Then don't regret it in the future!" Rock laughed, this is the advantage of the reborn.

"Unless you regret asking for too little money—" Sidney Milner also laughed, it's amazing that both Sidney Milner and Rock felt that they had taken advantage of it.

Rock paid to buy Kuwait, and Sidney Milner, as a matchmaker, must be beneficial, and he is still the kind of buyer who eats the seller.

Looking back, Rock immediately ordered the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company to go to Kuwait, and one of the veterans of the Umbrella Company was responsible for leading David.

Previously, David was the head of the Umbrella Company's training base in Nepal. After receiving Roque's order, David led a thousand Gurkha mercenaries to Kuwait, accompanied by the head of the newly established Southern African Oil Company, Karl Fox.

Unlike David, Carl Fox is a standard Englishman.

"David, does Kuwait really have oil?" Carl Fox couldn't believe that Kuwait had oil until he boarded the ship.

"Since the Lord said that Kuwait has oil, then Kuwait must have it. Don't doubt this. I dare to guarantee with my life that the oil reserves underground in Kuwait must be terrifying." David is a loyal believer of Rock. In Wei's mind, it is more important than the position of God.

Before Roque bought Kuwait, he had formed the Southern African Oil Company.

Previously, the main business of the Southern African Oil Company was to purchase oil from Romania and Baku, and then send it back to Southern Africa. Now the Southern African Oil Company has finally reached the stage of independent exploration.

Carl Fox went to Kuwait with a total of four drilling teams with a total of more than 200 people. Their task was to search for oil in Kuwait, mainly in the border areas with Iraq and Saudi Arabia.

This expression is not accurate enough, because the concept of Saudi Arabia and Iraq does not yet exist. Both Saudi Arabia and Iraq are part of the Ottoman Empire. The two countries of Saudi Arabia and Iraq will not appear until after the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire during World War I.

In the entire Middle East, there is almost no sense of existence within the Ottoman Empire. After all, no one is interested in sand. Saudi oil was not discovered until 1933. Before that, Saudi Arabia even wanted to take the initiative to take refuge in Britain and become a British colony. , but was ruthlessly rejected by the British government.

Saudi Arabia, without oil, is not even eligible to become a British colony.

"If this is the case, then we have to be careful. I heard that the Arab people are tough, so you have to arrange more guards for us, and ensure the supply of logistics supplies-God, a place that doesn't even have water and bread , I really don’t know why the lord firmly believes that Kuwait has oil.” Although Carl Fox was reluctant, he still insisted on carrying out Rock’s order.

Don't look at countries like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait who are very rich in the 21st century.

In fact, before oil was discovered, the economies of both Saudi Arabia and Kuwait were very backward.

It is hard to imagine that even in the twentieth century, the Saudi tribal armed forces still use primitive weapons such as pikes and leather shields.

This time when they went to Kuwait, the mercenaries of the umbrella company were not only equipped with general-purpose machine guns, but also equipped with 40mm grenade launchers and [-]mm mortars. If the Kuwaiti natives really dare to resist, then they will face the new The joint strangulation of weapons.

"The absence of water and bread does not mean that there is no oil. How many people are there in Kuwait now? Eight thousand? Or ten thousand? It doesn't matter. My mission is to drive out all the natives of Kuwait. Your mission is to find Kuwait's oil. As for water and bread, you don’t have to worry, as long as you can find oil, you will have everything.” David has no sense of urgency at all, the main city in Kuwait is only the port of Kuwait City, and the current total population of Kuwait City is less than [-], said A city can be regarded as a flattery, at most it is a town. David brought a thousand Gurkha mercenaries. It is really easy to clean up these indigenous people.

Of course, planning is one thing, and actually implementing it is another.

When David and Carl Fox arrived in Kuwait City, both David and Carl Fox were stunned by what they saw.

Speaking of the port, it is too flattering the current Kuwait City.

Even from the perspective of David and Carl Fox, Kuwait City is now a slightly larger fishing village. David even made a bet with Carl Fox that there may be no buildings with more than two floors in the entire Kuwait City , the entire Kuwait City seemed to David to be a not too big slum.

Limited to the natural conditions in the Middle East, almost all the buildings in Kuwait City in this era are sand-colored, which can be perfectly integrated with the desert outside the city.

The so-called port only has a rotten wooden pier. There are some local aborigines hanging out near the pier, or resting in boredom. Many aborigines don't even have clothes.

According to David, the lack of clothes is definitely not because of the heat, but because there is really nothing.

The intensity of the sunshine in the Middle East can be imagined. This is the first time for David to go to Kuwait, but he has a feeling of returning to southern Africa, because the aborigines here have very dark skin and are almost the same as the aborigines in southern Africa.

There were also local officials waiting at the pier, a tax collector and a sheriff.

Seeing David and Carl Fox disembarking, the tax officer, who was also in tattered uniform, rushed forward as if seeing a long-lost relative.

"Great, you guys are finally here. I thought I would stay in this damned place for the rest of my life, and now someone is finally here to replace me—" The sheriff with a big beard cried and laughed, and David instantly You can feel how bitter the bearded man was here before.

"Hahahaha—welcome to hell—" the sheriff laughed, but it could be heard that the sheriff had endured Kuwait City to the extreme.

"Thanks for your hard work, gentlemen, now you can go to the merchant ship to rest, or take a hot bath—" David knew that Kuwait City was short of water, and he knew it from the appearance of the magistrate and the tax officer.

After David disembarked, the tax officer gave David a hug, which made David breathless and dizzy as if he had been poisoned.

In fact, the body odor of white people is really a bit heavy, and the sheriff and the tax officer probably haven't showered for a long time, so this body smell is a bit strong, which is really hard to describe.

"Hehehe, hot bath, I haven't taken a bath in half a year—" the tax officer couldn't wait.

"Let's take this boat and leave this damned place. Don't talk, I will never get off the boat. If you let me stay any longer, I will really go crazy—" the sheriff even took the whole family directly to Crowded on board.Don't care about the flimsy gangway at all.

It looked really miserable.

David felt a slight pain in his tooth.
