Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 617 The Chief

The current Kuwait City is obviously not in line with Rock's positioning of Kuwait, so with the arrival of the umbrella company in Kuwait City, the transformation of Kuwait City will begin immediately.

However, this work is not easy. Kuwait is located in a desert area, and there are almost no available materials around. David and Carl Fox are not in the mood to destroy the few trees around the port. All construction materials have to be obtained from the south. It had been shipped all the way from Africa, but David and Carl Fox had a lot of work to do before the building materials and construction workers arrived in Kuwait City.

It is mainly David's job. Carl Fox wants to explore for oil, so he has no time and no right to deal with these things. The work on logistics and security belongs to David's job category.

Sitting in the office that originally belonged to the sheriff, David immediately issued a series of orders.

First of all, all the buildings around the port must be demolished, and now these residents in Kuwait City must also be transferred to other areas for resettlement, but before that, they must first work for the umbrella company in exchange for the opportunity to settle in other areas .

"How many people are there in Kuwait now?" David is still concerned about how many people are available.

"There are about 3000 or 1 people in Kuwait City, or 2 or [-] people in Kuwait. Who knows, no one counts the number of ants in a nest, and the chief here will not cooperate with the investigation. We need to check the population, and they will think that we are going to collect population tax—" the tax officer raised his head and replied in his busy schedule, Carl Fox was urging him to drink, and the sheriff was munching, God knows how long it has been since they had a real meal Western food.

chief --

Probably the future royal family.

It is estimated that members of the British royal family will not agree to use the word royal family to describe the sheikh of Kuwait.

When Britain expanded its colonies around the world, it didn’t know how many chiefs it killed. Tribes like Kuwait with thousands of people were used as slaves in Africa. Whether it’s a chief or a member of a tribe, there is basically no difference in the eyes of white people. .

That is to say, Kuwait had no interests at all during this period, so these tribes could survive until oil was discovered.

However, in Rock's plan, there is no room for these chiefs, and Britain has to use the natives of the colonies to develop the colonies, so there is only one sheriff and one tax collector in the entire Kuwait City.

There is no shortage of people in Nyasaland. There are more and more Chinese in southern Africa. If you need labor force, you can hire it directly from southern Africa. A chance to live the extravagant life of another time and space.

According to Rock's plan, after the umbrella company will move its base in Nepal to Kuwait City, the tribes in Kuwait will be sent directly to Nepal for resettlement by the umbrella company.

This exchange may sound unfair, but considering the current specific situation in Kuwait, I am afraid that the indigenous tribe members here will be very happy. After all, a place that cannot even guarantee basic living water is indeed unable to arouse such a strong desire for the homeland. Affection.

However, this is just Roque's plan, and the specific implementation will also depend on the situation. For example, the Umbrella Company wants to transform Kuwait. At this stage, it cannot do without the help of the local aborigines.

While David and Carl Fox were entertaining the sheriff and the tax officer, the mercenaries of the umbrella company had already contacted the local residents of Kuwait City.

"Want to have a full meal? Then come to work at Umbrella Corporation. There are fresh fruits, clean water, and delicious food. Have you seen this? It's called an apple. It's delicious. Let me have one. Guaranteed that you will fall in love with apples—” The translator of Umbrella Company held an apple to lure the surrounding residents.

This seems a bit funny, but the reality is that these local aborigines may have never seen apples as a fruit until now. Even for the chiefs here, apples are a luxury for them.

Think about when the white people just landed in Africa and America, a cheap glass ball can be directly exchanged for gold and gems. That kind of scene is more ridiculous, but it is a real history.

Compared with the ragged and haggard local aborigines, the well-dressed and armed mercenaries are the standard image of imperialism.

The mercenaries had just landed, and there were many local natives watching around the port. David and Carl Fox went to the sheriff's office. There were still a lot of supplies on the ship to be unloaded, so the translator used apples to lure these residents.

Forget about the money, even if you give money, you probably won't be able to buy anything good in a place like Kuwait City.

The power of the apple is still great, and the surrounding residents immediately rushed to it, and the translator was in a hurry.

"Don't worry, line up and come one by one—" The interpreter's voice was obviously too weak, and the whip in the mercenary's hand was more effective, and the order at the scene finally stabilized.

Of course, the next step is not to distribute apples, but to work first, and then get paid after the work is done.

With the help of these local residents, the unloading work was greatly accelerated, and various materials quickly piled up in the open space near the simple dock.

Looking at the lively scene in front of him, the sheriff kindly reminded David: "Send someone to guard, otherwise these people will surprise you tomorrow morning."

"Hehe, I'll give them a surprise first—" David didn't talk nonsense. On an open space not far from the port, a simple temporary camp was being erected. Tents that could be set up quickly, fences around the camp, And the heavy machine gun positions piled up with sandbags are all under construction. Starting tomorrow, David will clean up the buildings around the port until the entire Kuwait City is completely demolished. By then, Kuwait will completely belong to the Kuwait of the umbrella company.

That's right, Rock bought Kuwait not in the name of southern Africa, but in the name of an umbrella. In this way, of course Kuwait also belongs to the umbrella company and has nothing to do with the federal government of southern Africa.

As for whether the umbrella company can protect its interests in Kuwait, Rock has never worried about this issue.

During this period, Kuwait was theoretically still part of the Ottoman Empire, but the Ottoman Empire, with a total area of ​​550 million square kilometers, obviously did not pay much attention to Kuwait. Algeria and Tunisia, Italy is seeking Tripolitania and Cyrene, since 1880, Italy began to actively immigrate to Tripolitania and Cyrene, merchants are constantly buying land, naval officers Putting on fishermen's clothes, they conducted coastal surveys in the name of fishing for sponge off the coast of Tripolitania, while Catholic priests went deep into the interior to collect information in the name of missionary work.

Therefore, the current actual situation of the Ottoman Empire does not allow the Ottoman Empire to launch wars at will.

The Russian-Turkish war that lasted for more than 200 years greatly consumed the strength of the Ottoman Empire. During the war, the Russian Empire continued to expand its territory, while the Ottoman Empire retreated steadily. It had to unite the forces of Britain and France to fight against Russia.

This also caused a great loss of the interests of the Ottoman Empire in North Africa. Algeria and Egypt were occupied by France and Britain respectively under this premise.

Like Kuwait, although Algeria and Egypt are still the territories of the Ottoman Empire in name, the Ottoman Empire has given up its interests in these two regions in exchange for the support of Britain and France in the Russo-Turkish War.

Southern Africa is still a country of the Commonwealth of Nations, and the direct purchase of land by umbrella companies is also very common in this era, so Rock has never worried about whether the Ottoman Empire will interfere after buying Kuwait.

In the eyes of others, the Ottoman Empire is still the top power in the world, but for the United Kingdom, the Ottoman Empire is just an old and dying giant.

In Europe, the Ottoman Empire has a nickname called "The Sick Man of Europe", so the status of the Ottoman Empire in the world can be experienced by yourself.

The next day, the sheriff and the tax collector left Kuwait by boat, and David and Carl Fox went back to work.

Carl Fox's main responsibility is to explore for oil, and David's main responsibility is to transform Kuwait City, do logistics work and security work for subsequent oil exploration and oil development.

The transformation of Kuwait City began with the sheikh mentioned by the tax official.

Similar to the African tribal chief in David's impression, the chief who appeared in front of David also had dark skin and ragged clothes, and looked no different from other indigenous people.

David didn't talk nonsense, and directly made his request to the chief.

"Tear down the entire Kuwait City?" The chief probably didn't expect that David would make such a request.

"Yes, tear down the whole of Kuwait. If you cooperate with my work, then I will give you a sum of money to allow you to settle in any country in the world; if you don't cooperate—" David didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out his pistol Start wiping.

The chief made the most correct choice right away.

It is really impossible not to cooperate. While David is intimidating the chief, the translator of the umbrella company is busy using various small favors to win over the indigenous residents of Kuwait City. Even if the chief disagrees, with the temptation of various foods, the umbrella company will also Fully capable of overhead chiefs.

At that point, it doesn't really matter whether there is a chief or not.

At the same time that David started to transform Kuwait City, two cargo ships full of various supplies were slowly sailing out of Port Edward. At the same time, the second batch of [-] mercenaries from Nepal also landed in Calcutta, India. Ship, their destination is Kuwait City.
