Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 812 Disagreement

Also as an ancient civilization, Britain was more cautious in the process of colonizing Persia.

In other regions, Britain basically has a Bible in one hand and a sharp sword in the other. If it cannot be conquered spiritually, it will resort to force. In this regard, Britain is actually a unique country.

In Persia, the British colonization method was subtle and gradually infiltrated. The way of treating ancient civilizations must be different from that of primitive African tribes.

However, what effect this method can achieve is open to discussion. As a country that has been at war for thousands of years, Persia has its own pride and will not be easily bewitched by the British in a few words, and the British cannot afford the losses caused by launching a large-scale war. , so now Persia is still only a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country, and has not completely fallen.

The emergence of southern Africa has become the X factor to break the deadlock.

In Africa, Roque has proved with facts that the colonial system established by Britain and France is not invulnerable. It is not only Portugal and Belgium, two weak countries that are damaged, but Germany is also struggling in Tanganyika, so The panic caused by southern Africa is not limited to southern Africa, but has spread to all colonies in the world.

When Adelaide heard of the uprising of the Babu believers in Persia, his first reaction was that it must have an inseparable relationship with the umbrella company.

But then this inference was overturned. The power of religion is more fanatical than the secular regime, and it might get out of hand. Ade doesn't think that the umbrella company's influence on Persia has reached this level.

"Anglo-American Petroleum has a part of British capital, Royal Shell is a joint venture between the British Empire and the Netherlands, Standard Oil is an American company through and through, and only Adan is a real British company that serves the interests of the empire wholeheartedly. In the trade with the Ministry of War, Adan Company never maliciously raised prices, did not hoard goods, and did not rely on foreigners for self-respect. The Ministry of War received sufficient oil supply at the lowest price, and Adan Company worked hard to mine oil to meet the needs of the empire. It is the business behavior under the normal model, not the bottomless business competition like this now." Rock directly pointed the finger at Royal Shell and Anglo American Petroleum, those newly established oil companies that don't even have an oil well, forget it, they If you want to become the opponent of Adan Company, you still need a chance.

"Royal Shell and Anglo-American Petroleum are traitors!" Philip was filled with righteous indignation. On this issue, Philip's position was exactly the same as Rock's.

"Lock, how sure are you about Ahvaz?" Ade valued the actual effect, and it was useless to shout slogans loudly, only getting actual benefits was serious.

"One thousand percent!" Rock vowed.

Just when Rock was trying his best to win the support of Ade and Philip, Dunn and Li De, the headquarters of Adan Company in Port Elizabeth, were hosting a banquet for Alex, the British commissioner in Persia.

The headquarters of Adan Company in Port Elizabeth is called "Pantheon". The name sounds a bit arrogant, but it is not strange at all in Port Elizabeth.

Port Elizabeth not only has the "Pantheon", but also the "Sanqing Palace", "Eden", "Venus", and "Lumbini Garden".

Like southern Africa, Adan Company does not impose restrictions on religion, but it does not encourage it. There can only be one church in the entire Port Elizabeth, whether it is Catholic or Protestant. Of course, the same is true for monasteries and Taoist temples. Port Elizabeth is now 500 There are only six religious places, which is a high enough ratio.

The "Pantheon" is a building made of white marble. It covers an area of ​​more than 30 square meters. The height of the main building is more than [-] meters. Nearly a hundred people died before and after its completion. It is the tallest building in Port Elizabeth.

"Reed, I'm not being picky. It's because your Adan company's requirements are too harsh. No one would agree to it. Ahvaz should not be controlled by a certain company. Free trade can bring the greatest benefits to the British Empire. .” Alex hasn’t drunk much yet, and he’s still conscious.

"With all due respect, Alex, do you think Standard Oil or Royal Shell will serve the British Empire wholeheartedly? Last month Standard Oil poached 15 barrels of oil from Ahvaz, but how much did Standard Oil pay? Taxes? You must know better than me.” Li De half leaned in the arms of a Persian girl wearing only a light gauze, no matter whether it was drinking or eating, she didn’t have to do it herself. De mouth.

The concept of "barrel" was established by Adan Company. According to Adan Company's standard, a barrel is about 0.16 square meters, which is slightly more than the American system.

Ahvaz is indeed very rich in oil resources. If 15 barrels is for Romania, it is nearly one-third of the monthly oil production of the entire Romania. However, in Ahvaz, the output of standard oil is not the highest. At the top of the list are Adan, Umbrella, Anglo American, Royal Shell, and then Standard Oil.

"Anyway, Reed, you already own Port Elizabeth, so you should restrain yourself." Alex didn't show face, and the atmosphere in the room immediately cooled down.

"How do you want us to restrain ourselves?" Reed smiled.

"Get what you deserve, and don't try to get your hands on something that doesn't belong to you." Alex has a bad attitude. I don't know why. From the very beginning, Alex had doubts about Umbrella and Adan Company. There is little hostility.

This is also normal. The influence of southern Africa has not yet radiated to the peninsula and Europe. Many people think that southern Africa is still a wild land, and there is nothing to worry about.

"Alex, if you're not satisfied with what you got, you can just say so." Li De was blunt, and his words were no different from a direct slap in the face.

"Asshole, how can you say that?" Alex didn't expect Li De to turn his face so quickly.

"Then why do you want to hear what I have to say? Make it clear, this is Port Elizabeth, not the fucking Cairo. I am a Chinese from southern Africa, not a Chinese from the Qing Dynasty!" Li De was aggressive, slapping the table and staring. Very African.

"Absurd, simply absurd!" Alex didn't dare to meet Li De's eyes, angrily tore off the napkin around his collar and left directly.

Li De didn't speak, his eyes were unfocused, he picked up the cup in front of him and drank it down.

"How? I told you earlier that there is no reason to argue with these people. We represent Nyasaland and they represent London. We will have a war in the future!" It is in the Pantheon, if it is leaked in other places, it is estimated that Tang En will be unlucky.

"Can you say one less thing!" Li De was annoyed. The old ancestor wrote an anti-poetry and hid his head. Tang En was indeed too straightforward.

"I won't say it nicely. Your lord said a long time ago that some people have deep-rooted prejudice against us. Don't try to change them. If you change someone else, it may have unexpected results." Tang En was indifferent, and changed to Roque, Probably not to invite Alex to dinner, but to invite him to eat a gun.

"How?" Li De still didn't know Tang En well enough.

Tang En laughed strangely. That night, Alex died unexpectedly in his apartment. The result of the forensic medical examination was that Alex had a heart attack. It took only one minute for Alex to die. Max died peacefully in his sleep without suffering any pain.

This result made Li De seem to be abnormal, so Li De went to Tang En as soon as he got the test result.

"The forensic doctor said that he had a heart attack, and even gods couldn't save him." Tang En resolutely refused to admit that there was any inside story.

"Then how could it be such a coincidence? Alex is the commissioner of Persia, which will seriously affect our arrangement." Li De was angry. Tang En and his mercenaries were supposed to accept the management of Adan Company in name. But in fact there are many problems.

If you think about it, you can understand that a proud soldier with a stick, defeated the Germans and the Dutch, subverted Portuguese East Africa and subverted East India. In the current peninsula, the mercenaries of the umbrella company are similar to the emperor. Many mercenaries have already put The family members immigrated to the peninsula and became permanent residents of the peninsula. Some of them even took Persian nationality on purpose. This was blatant mixing of sand. Although Li De knew about these situations, he was helpless.

Nominally, the Umbrella Company is under the leadership of Adan Company, but in fact it is not the case. The Umbrella Company is directly responsible to Roque. In other words, no matter what Tang En does, he is inextricably linked with Roque. relation.

"That's your problem. The only thing I want to guarantee is the interests of southern Africa. No matter who stands in the way of our umbrella company, we will smash him to pieces." Tang En is blunt, and now southern Africa is not the beginning In the Cape Colony, since there are tough hawks, there are naturally moderate doves, and Tang En is undoubtedly a hawk.

Now it seems that Li De seems to be dovish.

This is not in line with Rock's long-standing education for Li De.

"Twain, we want to create profits for southern Africa, not to cause trouble for the lord." Li De moved with emotion and reason. If there is anyone who can restrain Tang En, it must be Rock.

"Reed, you used to be the closest person to the lord. We are not creating trouble for the lord, but to create conditions for southern Africa—" Tang En will not compromise. By the end of the night, nearly a thousand hired The soldiers went deep into Persia to launch the Bab uprising against the cruel rule of the Persian Kingdom.

This is not a day or two. A country like Persia will have such a day sooner or later.
