Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 814

What people never expected is that the Ottoman Empire lost this time faster than the military exercise in southern Africa. Originally, after the end of the Balkan War, the military observation team sent by southern Africa had withdrawn to southern Africa. Now the war broke out again. The Ministry of Defense will definitely continue to send military observation missions, but this time the military observation mission has not yet reached the Balkan Peninsula, and the Ottoman Empire was defeated again to seek peace.

This result is really surprising. The failure in the North African War can be used as an excuse for the fire in the backyard. The failure of the first Balkan War can also be used as an excuse for the lack of preparation for two-front combat. The result has already entered the negotiation process and initiated the war. , and then lost so quickly, and still took the initiative to seek peace, this, military commentators all over the world know how to evaluate it.

It's not fair to the Huskies to describe it as that in the middle school.

Rock was not surprised when he heard the news. The Ottoman Empire is like this, and it will not change in another 100 years. Rock will not be surprised when the fight starts.

When the Balkans were in chaos, the Mesopotamia was also in chaos.

It was originally just a Babu rebellion in Persia, but now it has evolved into a melee that spread to the entire Mesopotamia. The situation in Ahvaz in Persia is complicated. The Babu rebels come and go one after another. Mercenaries, as well as the local forces in Ahvaz, the oil exploration of the entire Ahvaz has come to a standstill. After the Umbrella Company took the lead in withdrawing from Ahvaz, many oil companies such as Royal Shell and Standard Oil have also withdrawn one after another. Anglo-American Petroleum, who was unwilling to withdraw, was still insisting.

However, it is estimated that it will not last long. Compared with the cost of oil wells, the cost of hiring security personnel is also high. Anglo-American Oil Company does not hire security personnel from the umbrella company. The mercenaries of the umbrella company are too expensive. The oil company colluded with the senior monks in Ahvaz and hired Cossacks to form their own security team to protect the oil fields of Anglo-American Oil Company in Ahvaz.

No matter what the result is, at least on the surface, now Anglo-American Petroleum can indeed monopolize the oil fields in Ahvaz.

However, this result did not make Anglo-American Petroleum Company happy. Although it was protected by mercenaries, it seemed that there was no danger for a while, but most of the oil well workers had fled. Ahvaz.

Like the umbrella companies, the staff of Royal Shell and Standard Oil have all withdrawn to Port Elizabeth to wait and see what happens, and Port Elizabeth has once again aroused the attention of the outside world.

Standard Oil's Jeffrey Kipling and Royal Shell's Rex Lasko temporarily lived in the Rhodesia Hotel in Port Elizabeth. Standing on the sea-view balcony of the hotel, they can clearly see An oil tanker of Adan Company is loading oil, and a cargo ship is unloading at the berth next to it, and new immigrants are walking down the gangway of a cruise ship at the berth next to it, and a brand new destroyer at the outer port farther away Cruising outside the port, the volume of more than 1000 tons is not worth mentioning in Europe, but in the Persian Gulf, it is a giant that can walk sideways.

"Chinese people like locusts will take everything from us sooner or later." Although Resk Lasko is half-British, he is also worried about the situation in Port Elizabeth.

Port Elizabeth is a port that was born entirely for oil. After the Persians were expelled, southern Africans became the masters of Port Elizabeth. The proportion of Chinese is shocking. The Chinese here are mainly technicians and port staff, and most of them are security personnel. They are Gurkhas, and the whites are mostly mercenaries of umbrella companies, and their skin color is more conducive to foreign operations.

As for the Rhodesia Hotel, the managers and chefs here are Chinese, the security captains are Slavs with thick faces and big beards, and most of the waiters and maids are from Persia, especially those charming Persian maids. It is said that you can buy one for ten pounds. It is already in the [-]th century, and there is still a slave trade. It is so delicious!

"Come on, Port Elizabeth was not built by you British people. It is estimated that the only name here is related to your British people." Jeffrey Kipling is from the United States, which is also composed of immigrants, and he treats the issue of immigration fairly objectively.

In fact, in the United States, the situation of Chinese Americans is also very bad. Now that the "Chinese Exclusion Act" is still in effect, the status of Chinese in the United States is better than that of Indians, even worse than that of blacks in the United States.

Regardless of the environment of blacks, at least blacks have now been liberated in name, no longer slaves, but officially recognized Americans.

In the United States, Jeffrey Kipling has never faced up to the contribution of the Chinese community to the United States. Jeffrey Kipling did not even know the role played by the Chinese in the construction of the Pacific Railway. He came to Elizabeth After coming to Hong Kong, Jeffrey Kipling learned more about the Chinese community.

I have to say that the Chinese are indeed a group that is easy to get along with. Because of all kinds of envy and hatred towards the United States, in Europe, Americans are generally repelled, and restaurants in Paris will openly display the sign that "Americans are not accepted". Brand, British hotels have a dedicated American dining area. In Port Elizabeth, Jeffrey Kipling will not be ridiculed in various ways because of his American English. This is the first time Jeffrey Kipling For the first time outside the United States, I felt friendliness towards strangers.

"Don't be complacent, the Chinese will take everything from you Americans sooner or later. Have you ever been to southern Africa? Look at the current Port Elizabeth, here is the prototype of the future world." Resk Lasko was still trying to count while chatting How many people get off the cruise ship? There are about [-] new immigrants on a ship. Three cruise ships arrive in Port Elizabeth every day. This situation has lasted for a week.

If this intensity is maintained, nearly [-] new immigrants will arrive in Port Elizabeth every month.

This data made Resk Lasko deeply worried. The Chinese have now occupied Port Elizabeth and are entering the Mesopotamia. There are nearly [-] Chinese in Basra, and there are Chinese in Ahvaz and Baghdad farther away. According to this If the speed goes down, within a year, the Mesopotamia will become a Chinese colony.

The "colonies" here must be a compliment. The population base of the Chinese is here, and the development of the land can be completed without relying on the local aborigines. This is the biggest advantage of the Chinese.

As the Chinese moved in, there were frequent conflicts with the Persians in the Mesopotamia. At this time, the mercenaries of the umbrella company played a huge role. Many immigrant families were originally mercenary families, and their relationship was inextricably linked.

Only when you come to the peninsula do you know that although the interior of the peninsula is mostly desert, the Mesopotamia is not a wild place in the traditional sense. Basra is known as the "Venice of the East", which shows the prosperity of the waterways and canals, but the current Basra is not the future. That Basra, the port in the modern sense, will not start construction until the outbreak of World War I and the British occupation of Basra.

At this time and space, it is estimated that the British army has no chance to occupy Basra. The umbrella company is determined to win the entire Mesopotamia, and everyone else has to stand aside.

"What's so bad about Port Elizabeth that you can't forget it?" Jeffrey Kipling didn't like Resk Lasker's attitude, and the attitude of the vested interests towards the new forces was always disgusting.

Although the situation of the Chinese in the United States is not good, the reputation of southern Africa in the United States is still good. Hoover has now become the agent of southern Africa in the United States. Touting, products from southern Africa are also sought after in the US market. After all, southern Africa is still a part of the UK, and everything related to the UK will be sought after in the US. Even the children of run-down nobles will become the best marriage partners for Wall Street tycoons.

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't say Port Elizabeth is bad." Resk Lasco was taken aback by Jeffrey Kipling's words. Some things should not be said nonsense. Yesterday in the bar downstairs, there was one The Italians were rudely beaten up by other guests and the bar staff because they publicly discriminated against the Chinese, and then thrown out. Lasker will also be kicked out of the hotel.

Customers are gods. There is no such thing as God in these years. Think about who is behind the Rhodesia Hotel. Although Royal Shell has no business relationship with the South African company, it should be respectful to the South African company.

The British government can ignore Cecil Rhodes' contribution to the UK. Royal Shell does not have this qualification. Regardless of Royal Shell's "royal" banner, the South African company is backed by the entire southern Africa.

Now in Port Elizabeth, there is only one hotel, the Rhodesia Hotel. The hotel is directly opposite the magnificent Pantheon, and the background is self-evident.

"Tch——" Jeffrey Kipling looked down on the appearance of both ends of Resker Lasker, and the saliva sprayed out from between his teeth and fell directly on the exquisite handmade carpet. Resker Lasker immediately Just shook his head.

This is why Americans are unpopular. Europe is indeed prejudiced against the United States. Americans' unkempt and carefree attitude is also part of the reason. Americans probably think that this is a sign of cheerfulness and sunshine, but in the eyes of old Europeans, this is Uneducated.

Just like the United States.
