Chapter 841

Roque can open the military camps for the military observers to visit, and can sell oil to the British government, but he will not disclose the real data of the Elizabeth oil field. This is related to the core interests of southern Africa. On this issue, southern Africa and The UK is not completely consistent.

"Lock, you have to be careful, any little accident now may trigger a new war—" McMahon was shocked, now everyone knows that only one fuse is needed to detonate the whole world, the umbrella and Ottoman The contradictions of the two may also become the fuse.

"Then fight, we are confident that we can defeat any enemy!" Rock simply said, in this situation, everyone is waiting for when the sword above their heads will fall.

"No, we're not ready yet—" McMahon was unwilling to face reality, and it would be a day if it could be delayed.

"We will never be ready, and neither will our enemies." Rock is not worried, Britain and France are not ready, and Germany and Austria are the same.

The dinner that night was hosted by the Egyptian Khedive Abbas Helmy Pasha for the military observers. Rock did not know why there were so many dinners. It was better when Rock first arrived in Cairo. He only attended McMahon’s The banquet held by Rock is obviously more intensive at the level of the military observation group, and there are banquets with different themes lined up almost every day.

The meaning of Khedive in Persian is Lord, which is similar to the governor of European countries. Nominally, Egypt and Sudan are still the territories of the Ottoman Empire, and Khedive is the supreme leader of Egypt and Sudan.

This time the banquet was of a relatively high standard, and it was held in the palace of Abbas Helmy Pasha. Rock was also on the list of invitations. Lt. Col. Andy Atley.

Rock hadn't heard from Congreve since the last time Congreve lost his temper after drinking. Now it seems that the War Department's reaction was quick and did not cover up Congreve.

"Lord Nyasaland, good evening—" Andy Atley was polite, and smiled at Ada who was beside Rock. With the lessons learned by Congreve, no one in Egypt would dare to speak nonsense to Rock now. up.

Ada's identity tonight is Rock's female companion.

"Lieutenant Colonel Atley, good evening, congratulations—" Rock was unhappy, Congreve committed suicide, and it really had nothing to do with Rock.

"There is nothing to congratulate. Many things should not have happened. In this extraordinary period, we should all cooperate sincerely." Andy Atlee is a smart person, otherwise he would not have the opportunity to take over Congreve's position.

"Lord Nyasaland, good evening—" Roque's oriental face was too conspicuous, and many people came to say hello to Roque.

Rock was a little embarrassed. Rock didn't know this person at all.

"Mr. Hussein Kemal, hello—" Ada took the initiative to greet Hussein Kemal, who is the uncle of the current Khedif Abbas Helmi Pasha, and Abbas Helmi Pasha Unlike Mi Pasha, Hussein Kemal has a better relationship with London.

"Mrs. Capet, it's a pleasure to meet you. I hope I can have the opportunity to learn from you how to manage a bank. You have done something that no man can do." Hussein Kemal looked at Ada's face His eyes were very restrained, and no one in Egypt would dare to have any unsuitable thoughts about Ada.

"It's actually very simple, just leave professional issues to professional people." Ada doesn't talk much. Egypt is a country where men are respected. Women are not valued in this country, even if Ada has multiple identities. Hussein Kemal's compliments to Ada were mostly based on Roque's face.

"Lord Nyasaland, I have collected some artworks from the Qing Dynasty. I wonder if you are interested?" Hussein Kemal is very good at business, otherwise he would not have such a good relationship with London.

Roque is of course interested. Hussein Kemal is not talking about works of art, but hopes to have a private communication with Roque. Once the world war breaks out, Britain will depose the current Khedif and support Hou Sein Kemal became the new leader.

However, Hussein Kemal did not enjoy favor for long. In 1917, Fuad I was the king of Egypt, and now Fuad I is still the president of Cairo University.

Cairo University was founded by Fuad I in 1908, not a few years later than Nyasaran University.

However, the environment in Egypt is obviously not as good as that in southern Africa. Now Nyasaland University has developed into a super university with more than [-] students in multiple colleges, but Cairo University has a bad reputation. Few people in Cairo know about Cairo University.

As before, Rock was still not interested in this kind of banquet, and when he entered the venue, he found a corner to whisper with Ada, instead of going to the center of the venue to join in the fun.

In the center of the venue was the stage for George White, McMahon, Abbas Helmi Pasha, and Hussein Kemal, each of whom was surrounded by a group of people talking, and many more on the outside Waiting for the opportunity to join, George White is the center of attention, everyone wants to find a chance to go over and say hello to George White.

The palace of Abbas Helmi Pasha is indeed very luxurious, and there is no comparison between Adelaide's Palace of Justice and Abbas Helmi Pasha's palace. Although Abbas Helmi Pasha is a nameless Khedive, At the dinner party, there was still a lively atmosphere of various wine pools and meat forests, and Ada couldn't help complaining to Rock.

"I really don't know how they are in the mood to drink. I used to think that this kind of banquet was normal. Now I just hope that God will send down his wrath and burn it all down." Ada is also very pragmatic now, appropriate Entertainment is essential, but this kind of dinner every day is unacceptable, especially in the current situation.

"Hehe, the business girl doesn't know the hatred of subjugation, she still sings about the flowers in the backyard across the river—" If necessary, Rock can also be very literary.

"Oh—the backyard—" Ada, the demon girl, obviously did it on purpose, but it is also understandable, given that Ada's understanding of oriental culture has not reached the level of "The Flower of the Yushu Backyard".

Not to mention Ada, Rock, as an upright Chinese, doesn't know how to sing "Yushu Backyard Flower".

"Do you guys all want to form a harem?" Ada asked, and it was only then that Roque realized that he seemed to have misunderstood what Ada meant.

"Lord Nyasaran, Mrs. Capet, may I sit down?" Hussein Kemal finally got rid of the crowd and found Roque.

"Please sit down——" Roque didn't mind, the situation in Egypt and southern Africa is similar, so there is a possibility of cooperation between Roque and Hussein Kemal.

"Lord Nyasaland, if possible, I hope that Umbrella Corporation can help me form an army, an army composed of Egyptians." Hussein Kemal has a clear purpose.

"Building troops?" Rock was surprised. Although the situation in Egypt and southern Africa is similar, neither the British nor the Khedif should allow Hussein Kemal to form an army.

"The situation is getting worse and worse, and the situation in my territory is becoming more and more unstable. I need a strong army to stabilize the situation, but you know the current situation in Egypt, my lord. We are seriously short of troops, and there are internal and external troubles. No one cares about me. So I can only save myself." Hussein Kemal's reason seems to be very good, but Rock can understand why Hussein Kemal was replaced after only two years as Sultan .

"Lord Nyasaland, only you can help me now. I will order weapons and ammunition from the Nyasaland Military Industrial Group, hire instructors from the Umbrella Company to train troops, and pay all the expenses incurred - in cash." Hussein Kemal hopes to impress Roque with profits.

Rock doesn't care about this profit. Even if Hussein Kemal forms an army, it will only have 2000 people at most. Rock doesn't care about this profit.

The current Hussein Kemal is not yet the Sultan. If the deal with Hussein Kemal causes dissatisfaction in London, then Roque will not be worth the loss.

However, it is not impossible to cooperate. It is not possible at the official level, and other methods can be adopted. Therefore, Rock was ambiguous and did not give Hussein Kemal a definite answer.

A day later, a businessman from the United States came to see Hussein Kemal. He claimed to be Leo Fowler and came from the Delta Company in the United States.

"What is the delta for?" Hussein Kemal had no memory of the name.

"Delta is a company similar to Umbrella. It has just been established—" Leo Fowler smiled reservedly. Hussein Kemal's eyes lit up when he heard the name "Umbrella".

"Lord Nyasaland—" But Hussein Kemal was interrupted by Leo Fowler just as he spoke.

"No, no, we have nothing to do with Lord Nyasaland and the umbrella. Our company is in Texas, the United States. Like the umbrella, we can provide all services including weapons and ammunition and armed personnel training." Leo Fowler firmly denied it, but the credibility of this statement was not high. A newly established company could not have such great energy. Maybe even the name Leo Fowler was fake.

But it doesn't matter, Hussein Kemal does not explore the relationship between the delta and the umbrella. There are so many companies these days. Quickly disappearing without a trace, especially in the United States, which insists on "free trade", is very common.

The only question now is whether to cooperate with Delta. Hussein Kemal found Roque because Roque was the Viscount of the British Empire. As long as Roque let go, Hussein Kemal will have more layer of protective color.

Now the right to choose goes back to Hussein Kemal. Hussein Kemal knows very well that this Delta may be a shell company created by Rock. If he chooses to cooperate with Delta, then Hussein · If something happened to Kemal later, it has nothing to do with Roque.

 Push this book, "Li Tai's Great Tang Dynasty", it has the potential to be a big hit, go and take a seat first
