Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 818 Mission

Although the rebellion broke out only a few months ago, Ahvaz is already full of ruins and empty houses.

The Persians do not have the habit of fighting to the death with their backs. Unlike Britain, France and Germany, which have completed the industrial revolution, the Persian Empire is still a hierarchical feudal country. The upper class of the country is dominated by feudal princes and high-ranking monks. And the emerging bourgeoisie, the wealth of the entire country is monopolized by these classes, and the bottom civilians and serfs have nothing.

Regrettably, the princes, nobles and high-ranking monks who hold most of the country's power often do not resist desperately when facing wars. It is the choice of most people to protect their lives wisely, and more low-level civilians are powerless to resist. Become a victim of war, or be coerced by war.

The destructiveness of the war is also unparalleled. Before the rebellion broke out, Khuzestan had a population of about 20, and now there are very few people left. Many people fled to the neighboring Ottoman Empire to escape the war. The rebellion also tends to spread to other areas. No one can accept it.

In fact, Dunn also had a headache. After the Babu Rebellion, about 8000 people went to Port Elizabeth regardless of the ban. Most of these people were young and middle-aged people. They would do anything to make a living. If they were not handled properly, they might cause serious social problems.

"Reza, your troops should gradually withdraw from Khuzestan, and the rebellion should be handed over to our umbrella company." Tang Entu saw it clearly, and it was obvious that he wanted to annex Khuzestan.

"Don, only the oil in Ahvaz belongs to you, and Khuzestan belongs to Persia." Reza Khan did not expect Tang En's ambition to be so big. If Reza Khan's troops withdraw from Khuzestan, Khuzestan will be handed over If it is transferred to the umbrella company, then this will become a shame that Reza Khan cannot wash away in his life.

"You took 20 pounds worth of supplies from me one after another, and you only gave me the oil in Ahvaz? The oil in Ahvaz is not worth 20 pounds!" Tang En is now also a greedy and shameless colonial face , All investments must be returned. Umbrella companies can support Reza Khan or other generals. The only constant is interest.

"Ahvaz's oil reserves are at least 1000 million barrels, isn't it worth 20?" Reza Khan will also quote data, which is the result of estimates of Ahvaz's oil reserves by senior experts from many oil companies. out the numbers.

The technology at this time can only get such an inference.

"Come on, the oil in Ahvaz has been tapped out, and even the Anglo-American Petroleum Company has withdrawn from Ahwaz." Tang En also seemed to regret the past.

This is the consequence of predatory exploitation. When the Anglo-American Petroleum Company discovered oil in Ahvaz, all the oil companies flocked to it, and the derricks were densely built.

Although experts infer that there are at least 1000 million barrels of oil in Ahvaz, the result of predatory exploitation is that no oil can be dug out now. The Anglo-American Petroleum Company, which once stuck to Ahvaz, was disheartened and finally withdrew three days ago.

"This has nothing to do with our agreement. At the beginning, our agreement only included the oil in Ahvaz." Oil also deserves your umbrella.

"Oh, Reza, the Umbrella Company will not allow anyone to humiliate you." Dunn laughed angrily, not to mention whether there is oil underground in Ahvaz, Reza Khan's attitude is absolutely unacceptable to Dunn.

"The Persian Empire will not be humiliated by anyone. Khuzestan belongs to Persia. This is undisputed." Reza Khan may have been a little flustered during this period of time because of his power expansion, and his understanding of himself was not clear enough.

"Then let's use our strength to decide who belongs to Khuzestan." Tang En didn't talk nonsense, and fought if he couldn't agree. scum.

To deal with the guards led by Reza Khan, Tang En didn't even need to send out the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company, Ali Rashid's troops could handle it.

"Are you declaring war on the Persian Empire?" Reza Khan scoffed.

"We are just a commercial company, and we don't have the right to declare war on an empire. We just want to protect our own interests." Tang En dared not mention the word "declaration of war", but it was similar to declaring war. Southern Africa did not declare war. Right, the Umbrella Company is a commercial company, just because of some unpleasant frictions with the Persian Empire due to interests.

"Then let's talk on the battlefield." The back of Reza Khan left was imposing.

At noon that day, Reza Khan's troops had never entered Khuzestan before entering Ahvaz from northern Khuzestan.

Also at noon that day, a mercenary unit of the Umbrella Company entered Khuzestan from the direction of Basra. This was the first time that the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company entered the Persian Empire in an organized manner.

Hank, who just joined the umbrella company, is in this unit.

Hank, who left Port Elizabeth on a camel, regretted that he could not carry his beloved cowboy because of the caliber, but he did not choose the Browning provided by the umbrella company, but chose a knight with a shorter barrel.

Compared to the Browning, which was inconvenient to unload, Hank still trusted the quick-response revolver. The caliber of the Cavaliers was also [-]mm, and the shape was indeed not as cool as the cowboy, but the power and accuracy did not drop much.

"Our umbrella is an oil company. Why do we have to ride camels when we go out? Can't we buy a few cars?" Hank complained habitually, but that's all. Hank still takes his work seriously and responsibly.

"Don't say a few words, Hank, look at the way we are going, if we really want to equip us with a truck, I'm afraid we will have to carry it." Oscar, a member of Hank's team, will enjoy it. He actually built a truck on a camel. The pergola, without being exposed to the scorching sun, made Hank very envious.

Still inexperienced, Hank will definitely not make similar mistakes next time.

Compared with camels, cars are indeed more comfortable, but cars also have higher requirements on the road and have more faults. In contrast, camels are much better. Full for many days.

Of course, for mercenaries, camels have another inhumane use. Next, the mercenaries of the umbrella company will go deep into Khuzestan. If the logistics supply is not available, camels can also be eaten.

Considering the situation in Khuzestan, this possibility is still very high. Hank and the others took this issue into consideration when they set off. Each mercenary carried more than [-] rounds of ammunition, which is four under normal circumstances. times.

The road traffic conditions in Port Elizabeth are still very good. Southern Africans really love to build roads. As long as it is controlled by southern Africa, the road traffic will be extremely developed within two years. In the eyes of many people, the road between Skat is unnecessary. After all, the two places can travel through the Persian Gulf without wasting time and money.

Other issues can be compromised, but on this issue, Umbrella and Adan Company are very persistent. In fact, it doesn’t cost much. Road, in exchange for rough food to maintain life, this work is very heavy, every day people get sick or even die, the miracle is that the Persians would rather endure the oppression of the Adam Company than return to Khuzestan to face the Babu believers.

People in the war are irrational. The day after Hanke and his team entered Khuzestan, they came to a village that had been reduced to ruins. The village was not small in terms of scale, with about 100 households. Now, of course, it is deserted, with ruins everywhere.

There are many corpses that have not yet been buried in the open space at the entrance of the village. Most of these corpses have been decapitated because of the hot weather, and the unbearable stench of corpses can be smelled from a distance.

"Don't get close, go around, there may be a plague in this village, no one is allowed to come close—" Captain Bill wet a towel with water and used it as a mask to cover his mouth and nose, Hank immediately followed suit, the plague is not a joke After the Black Death, the whole of Europe was under the shadow of the plague, and it has not recovered until now.

Looking at it from a distance, it is easy to tell that many of the corpses are women and children.

Hank shook his head again and again: "Who would be so cruel? Even kill women and children."

"This is the power of faith. All heretics should be burned to death." Oscar is a fanatical believer in Christianity.

"You're so fucking crazy!" Hank couldn't accept this extreme thought.

However, it is obvious that more people agree with Oscar's words. Many people are chanting slogans while waving long knives. It's already the twentieth century, and they don't know what else the long knives are used for.

But looking at the corpses with different heads, Hank seemed to suddenly realize something.

"Hank, you'll get used to it soon, don't you treat the Indians the same way?" Oscar didn't think it was fanaticism.

"That's already happened in the last century, and we can live in peace with the Indians now." Hank said with a serious face.

"Can we really live in peace?" Oscar didn't believe it.

Hanke is silent, some facts are irrefutable, some areas of the United States are still moving westward, nominally Africans and whites can coexist peacefully in the United States, but can they really be peaceful?

Hank didn't believe it himself.

"This is the purpose of our coming to Khuzestan. We want to rescue these people from the cruel rule of the Persian Empire and bring them a more advanced model and a better life. This is our mission." Bill's words let Hanke deeply believed that the mercenaries came to Khuzestan with this sense of mission.
