Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 817 Medal

There is a direct competition between Standard Oil and Adams, so Randall is sitting between two Adams employees, feeling like he has no place to put his hands.

Hank is free and easy, he never refuses the roast duck brought by the chef, he doesn't forget to give a thumbs up when his mouth is full of oil, and Haya doesn't forget to tip when he brings champagne.

The champagne was bought by Hank as a thank you for the roast duck.

The price of a bottle of champagne is actually about the same as a roast duck. Randall would definitely not buy it, but Hank didn't blink. In fact, Randall's salary is higher than Hank's.

The employees of Adan Company are all southern Africans. There are two Chinese named Joe and Lee, two Englishmen named William and Tom, and a Slav named Alexander. This guy is already bleary-eyed. Not at all Slavic.

"It's easy to join the Adan Company, but the place of work must be subject to the company's arrangement. It may be the Peninsula, Southern Africa, East India or the Adan Islands." Joe's face is very clean, unlike many white people He has a big beard, and there are no freckles or acne on his face, and he looks very healthy.

"Where are the Ardan Islands?" Hank had never heard of this place.

"Adan Islands is an archipelago in the middle of the Indian Ocean. It is the property of the Adan Company. The name Adan Company is named after the Adan Islands." Joe is very patient. The Adan Islands are the Chagos Islands, which is also the mysterious Diego. Garcia, it's not well known here. It's normal that Hank doesn't know the Aldan Islands. Many British people don't know.

Including Randall.

"Sounds very interesting. Your Adam company is really powerful." Hank is sincere, but Randall doesn't care. Most of the islands in the world belong to the United Kingdom. For the United Kingdom, land is the least important thing. valuable.

No matter what Randall thought, Hank's praise obviously benefited Joe and William. Alexander stood up and raised his glass and proposed: "For the Lord, we should have a toast."

The atmosphere was really lively and at least half of the whole restaurant raised their glasses.

A bottle of champagne was quickly drunk, and several people felt dissatisfied. William proposed to go to the bar to sit. Except for Randall, several people responded enthusiastically.

Randall didn't go to the bar, and went back to the room to rest, not knowing when Hank would come back.

In the next few days, Hank went out early and returned late, and had a heated fight with Joe and the others. Through Joe, Hank bought a cowboy revolver, and then the cowboy became Hank's new favorite, and he couldn't put it down.

"For a gunman, a pistol is life, and you must love it like you love your own eyes." Regardless of whether Hank uses it or not, he will take apart the cowboy and scrub it carefully every day. Doubt that it will smooth the rifling in the barrel.

"0.45-inch caliber, this kind of pistol should be very powerful." Randall also knows about pistols. 0.45 inches is converted to 11.43 mm, which is definitely a large caliber in a pistol. Lee Enfield's caliber is only 0.303.

"Of course, this kind of bullet can kill an elephant." It can be seen that Hank really likes cowboys.

"It's a pity that there is no elephant here for you to fight." Randall didn't know why, and seemed to dislike seeing Hank and Joe getting too close.

"It's the same for beating people. Look at this kind of bullet. It's neither pointed nor round. This kind of bullet will explode when it hits a person, and the blood and blood are horrible." Hank even wiped every bullet, and Compared with automatic pistols, the biggest advantage of revolvers is that they are not afraid of jamming.

"Don't you think it's too cruel?" Randall was picky.

"Hehe, Randall, this bullet is produced in India." Hank was caught by surprise, and Randall blushed immediately.

"I'm going to join Adan Company, no, to be precise, it's an umbrella, I'm going to be a mercenary." Hank was going to give up his job at Standard Oil, which surprised Randall.

"You have a contract with the company, right?" Randall didn't know if Hank had a contract. He had a contract with Standard Oil. Even if he resigned from Standard Oil, he couldn't join Adan immediately. No time to work in the oil industry.

"Yes, but the requirements are not strict. If I want to terminate the contract, I may have to pay for the hotel expenses in Rhodesia during this period, as well as the boat ticket to the peninsula." Hank is a security guard, and the contract is not highly binding.

Compared with Hank, Randall can't solve the contract even if he thinks about terminating the contract. Randall still owes Standard Oil [-] pounds in bail fees. If Randall does not violate the laws of Port Elizabeth within one year, the money will be refunded to Standard Oil.

"Then I really want to congratulate you, I still want to stay in this unlucky place—" Regardless of whether they want to or not, Randall and Hank have developed some feelings during the time they have known each other.

"Thank you, you may not know that the umbrella company will allocate housing to each employee, and can also buy land around Port Elizabeth. As long as you are willing to pay ten pounds, you can buy a wife like Haya, and then you can form a Family, my ideal is to own a farm, raise a group of horses and a few dogs, and when I have nothing to do, I can ride the horses and lead the dogs to hunt, you know, I am an excellent hunter." Hanke is full of longing for the future , Not everyone likes to wander around the world, and they always have to settle down after enough wandering.

Peninsula is a great place.

At least that's how it seemed to Hank.

"Ten pounds——" Randall felt that his soul was greatly impacted. Although Haya was Persian, he was also white, and his age was estimated to be less than 15 years old.

Thinking of Haya smiling cutely in a maid outfit, Randall felt a burst of heat in his heart.

Just because of the desire for family, and for no other reason.

"Yes, ten pounds, it's amazing. If you want, you can also buy one and raise it in Port Elizabeth. This will not affect your starting a family in the UK. The UK seems to recognize this situation, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't. , Persians don’t ask for titles.” Hank understood it very clearly, and it seemed that he had done his homework.

Two days later, Hank resigned from Standard Oil and disappeared from Randall's life.

There are many similar situations. During the Ahvaz riots, many engineering personnel of oil companies were stranded in Port Elizabeth. Both Umbrella Company and Adan Company benefited a lot and took the opportunity to poach a lot of corners.

During this period of time, the Balkan Peninsula finally saw the dawn of peace. Although the rebellious Ottoman Empire was unwilling, it did not have the ability to renege in the short term, so it could only accept the "blackmail" of the Balkan Alliance honestly.

At the end of April, the Ottoman Empire and the Balkan Alliance signed the "London Treaty" in London. The Ottoman Empire was forced to give up all the land west of the line from Enez to Midina on the Caspian Sea. Crete was also ceded to Greece; Albania was independent and needed It is supervised by Russia, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy; the issue of Aegean islands is handled by Germany, Austria-Hungary, the United Kingdom, and Russia.

After this battle, the Ottoman Empire lost most of its territory in Europe, and at the same time lost its say in European affairs, completely degrading from a huge empire to a regional country.

However, this is not the worst moment of the Ottoman Empire. The worst moment is far from coming. There is no winner in this war. As the winning party, the Balkan Alliance has many conflicts because of the uneven distribution of spoils. Bulgaria believes that they paid the price in the war The largest, so I hope to get the whole of Macedonia, which has a serious conflict with Serbia's demands.

Serbia wanted access to the Adriatic Sea, but this request was not met, so Serbia asked Bulgaria to give up part of Macedonia as compensation.

Greece is demanding the possession of southern Macedonia and Western Thrace.

The contradictions between these three countries on the issue of the Kingdom of Macedonia could not be reconciled at all, so almost immediately after the signing of the "London Treaty", Serbia and Greece formed a secret alliance, preparing to launch a war against Bulgaria, and then Romania also joined this alliance.

On the Bulgarian side, Germany and Austria-Hungary considered the security of the Balkan Peninsula and tried their best to oppose the involvement of Britain and Russia. In order to win over Bulgaria, the Austria-Hungary Empire promised to grant loans to Bulgaria and ensure the territorial integrity of Bulgaria.

The Ottoman Empire and the Persian Empire are also preparing for war. The Ottoman Empire is unwilling to lose its European territory, and is always ready for revenge.

As the rebellion in the Persian Empire intensified, Reza Khan became more and more powerful, and now he is the commander of the Guards.

"Don, this is an extraordinary period. The entire empire is working hard for revenge. It's time for Ahvaz to restore calm." Reza Khan took the initiative to approach Tang En and asked Tang En to reduce his support for the Babu believers.

Without the help of mercenaries from Umbrella Corporation, those unarmed Babu believers are really no match for Reza Khan's troops.

The guard army led by Reza Khan is composed of the legendary Cossack cavalry. In the face of an army armed with modern weapons, the Cossack cavalry is indeed an opponent, but in the face of an army composed of Babu believers, the Cossack cavalry is simply invincible. It is the only factor restricting the Cossack cavalry. Reza Khan's troops have only one division, and they are indeed exhausted when facing nearly 30 Babu believers.

The point is that the Babu believers now have the help of mercenaries from the Umbrella Company, so the Babu believers are not bad in combat effectiveness. If the help from the Umbrella Company is not cut off, Reza Khan will have to spend a lot of trouble even if he wants to suppress the rebellion .

Now for Reza Khan, what is needed most now is military merit, and the Babu believers are Reza Khan's medals.
