Chapter 202 Factory Director Xu Resigns

I heard from the old people that if you climb the tallest water tower in Hazara City, you can see the Hindu Kush Mountains [-] kilometers away.

Victor, a Hadza teenager, is deeply suspicious of this.

But five years ago, Tali ruthlessly broke into Hadza City, snatched the diesel engine water pump, and destroyed the water tower that the Hadza people were proud of. He never had the opportunity to verify the old people's words.

And today.

Victor stood outside the TEP camp, looking up at the 30-meter-high sentry tower, eager to try.

The oil production well in the north was attacked by unidentified armed elements. Mr. Xu took away all the security guards, saying that he would show the other party the power of the iron sheet, and then teach the other party an unforgettable lesson.

Fifty light tanks, more than 100 infantry vehicles, more than 1000 strong men...

My Allah, an army of this size is enough to take down a major city controlled by the ruthless Tali.

Victor has great confidence in Mr. Xu, and he has prayed seriously to Allah.

Yes, Victor has a very good sense of Mr. Xu.

That boy of the same age from the East, although he works for the evil North America, has a heart like an Allah.

He paid high salaries to the clansmen, delivered bread to the elderly in the city who could not survive, delivered milk to children, and popularized the principle of "kowtow machine" to teenagers.

'Ever seen a pressurized well?Is it the kind where a pipe extends into the ground and the piston valve is pulled up and down to work? '

"The kowtow machine has this kind of structure, but it uses mechanical power. The crank is driven by a motor, which drives a hammer that looks like a hammer. One up and one down, it draws oil from the ground, and the ground..."

Victor, who has never been to school, recalled Mr. Xu squatting on the ground and drawing drawings with branches, and felt for the first time what knowledge is.

For this reason, the Hadza teenagers built a simple human-powered water pumping device for Hadza City to prevent people from accidentally falling into the well in the process of fetching water in winter.

Therefore, Mr. Xu is second only to the mullah in the hearts of the teenagers.

Now, there are no security personnel in the TEP temporary camp, only some handymen hired from Hadza City, and the benevolent Mr. Xu, who paid a lot of money to redeem the exploration teams from various countries.

Victor believes that it is necessary for him to stand guard for Mr. Xu to prevent those cunning Westerners from stealing Mr. Xu's supplies.

As Victor thought about it, he walked around the fence of the sentry tower, followed the ladder, and climbed to the top of the sentry tower.

Looking around, under the blue sky and white clouds, the eyes are full of khaki.

And in the far north, a majestic mountain is looming.

"I saw!"

Victor was very excited, and just about to shout out, his expression changed.

He not only saw the Hindu Kush Mountain, but also saw Mr. Xu's powerful army, chased by [-] chariots, defeated all the way under the artillery fire.

Those light tanks named M8, some lie down, some smoke, some roll over...

There are also many armored infantry vehicles, abandoned by the roadside by the hastily evacuated security personnel.

"My Allah!"

Victor rubbed his eyes, feeling his forehead buzzing, and didn't know what to do for a while.

Dazed for a moment, he hurriedly looked around, and soon found an eye-catching red button.

next moment.

The whistling siren echoed throughout the vast land.

Victor roared loudly at Hadza City and waved his hands to signal that an enemy was coming.

However, what surprised him was.

Working for Mr. Xu, accepting gifts from Mr. Xu, and the clansmen who were supposed to help Mr. Xu rushed over in one go.

They carried away the supplies in the temporary camp, drove away the rows of tank trucks, and captured the exploration teams from various countries...

"You can't do this!"

There are also many righteous teenagers like Victor who yelled to stop the barbaric behavior of the tribe, but were slapped by the elders.

Even more bizarre.

Uncle Rama, who was handicapped in the past, was able to carry three bags of rice with his hands.

Old Kai, who had never even seen a car in the past, actually drove the pickup at a flying speed.

Zach, who had never even seen a kowtow machine in the past, actually demolished five oil production wells in a very short period of time...

"Hurry up, the foreign devils are coming back!"

"Don't go back to the city, let's go to the valley to the south!"

"Thanks to Allah for the food!"

"Quick, quick, stop praying!"

Victor stood at the top of the sentry tower, dumbfounded.

The practice of the clansmen seems to be no different from before.

But he remembered the civilization that Mr. Xu talked about...

"Victor, come down quickly, we are leaving!"

At the bottom of the sentry tower, his elder brother Viktor was holding two old hens that he got from nowhere, and was crying desperately.

Victor climbed down the sentry tower in a daze, followed his brother for a long time in a daze, then stopped suddenly, "Victor, you go, I want to stay."

"why?"

"I want to ask Mr. Xu how we can change our world."

"???"

.........

Director Xu's popularity has always been good.

When the TEP emergency rescue team was pushed horizontally by the neutral camp, tens of thousands of Hadza people also rushed out of Hadza City carrying various weapons.

They took the initiative to help Director Xu drive away the oil tank truck, enthusiastically helped Director Xu rescue a large amount of camp supplies, and carefully helped Director Xu put away two suitcases of dollars...

When Director Xu fled back, the entire camp was impoverished.

The Hadza people had already abandoned the city and fled, not knowing where to hide.

Factory Manager Xu abandoned the camp cursing and was lost for a hundred miles...

As for why the bulky oil extraction equipment disappeared?

The Hadza must have carried it away abruptly!
(In fact, they were thrown into the core of the main base placed in the middle of the camp by the intermediary disc, which was recovered as metal, and the intermediary disc was those people that Victor considered 'weird'.)
at the same time.

North America is stationed in Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Yemen, Pakistan, Qatar, the Emirates, the Prince of Sudan, etc., and 37 overseas bases have received calls for help from United Defense in the name of taxpayers.

It's a pity that even the nearest bomber will take at least two hours to arrive due to refueling, reloading, and the distance of thousands of kilometers.

Moreover, since the 'Keyhole-2' was shot down, both NASA and NSA have lost their vision of the Afghan region which is at the same longitude as the East.

As for the other suite of satellites...

It is used to monitor the European region, and the system is deployed according to latitude, which does not overlap with the Afghan region.

Therefore, before sending out bombers, it is necessary to launch reconnaissance planes and even early warning planes.

When Xu Fei received the reply, he definitely didn't believe this set of rhetoric.

Maybe there was a spy plane staring at him long ago.

Therefore, this play must continue.

When it crossed the [-]-mile cordon...

Xu Fei pretended to be brave and fearless, yelled and gathered the "lost army", re-arranged the troops, divided the 39 surviving M8s into two groups, and deployed Bradley armored infantry vehicles to cooperate, one feinted frontally, and the other circled around. After attacking the camp.

One's own unit is definitely not so good.

But their own Navy SEALs, in the North American organization, belong to the retired Marine Corps of the Navy. Regardless of ability or experience, although they surpass the North American Army, they cannot reflect the combat effectiveness beyond the SEALs.

Therefore, after rushing forward with a single brain, after being caught off guard by the neutral camp, they immediately evacuated, resulting in the current big retreat.

However, after more than an hour of fighting, retreating to the 8-kilometer cordon, even if you discard a dozen M[-]s, your side is still unscathed, even with ease.

Of course, there is no such thing as death in a war.

Taking advantage of the division of troops, Xu Fei secretly instructed certain crew members in the infantry vehicle not to get out of the vehicle for the time being.

In addition, arrange some people to feel wronged temporarily, take a few shots from their own people, or cut their torso with iron plates, pretending to be injured by the explosion.

Moreover, after fighting for so long, if there were no results, wouldn't it mean that Commander Xu Da was blind to Ji Ba's command?
The other is.

Although the M8 is produced by itself, in the eyes of the outside world, Carlyle Investment commissioned General Motors to manufacture it.

A month ago, Strauss ordered FMC to expedite the manufacture of 10 M8s. FMC's North American company does not have relevant production lines, so how can they manufacture them?

Therefore, these 50 M8s were actually leased by Strauss from the North American Military Department.

Coincidentally, the latter also wanted to see the actual combat capability of the M8 tank.

And now.

It's time to open your eyes.

Xu Fei secretly instructed the pilot-engineer to raise one-third of the revealed strength to 100%.

next moment.

The 20 M8 chariots with hard bars on the front suddenly started to speed up, turning left and right, and entered the drag racing style of mobile shooting.

The two neutral camp chariots rushing to the front were instantly destroyed by concentrated fire.

Then die!

Not only that, the three Tully ruthless soldiers who were transformed into neutral camps surrounded by Bradley's armored infantry vehicles rushed to the infantry vehicles and died, seeing that there was no hope of breaking through.

It's just that the twisted and twisted M8 chariot broke off many bolts and nuts after two or three minutes of full-load combat.

Seeing this scene through the binoculars, Xu Fei left the M6, walked to the nearest M8 that was undergoing emergency repairs, and picked up a broken bolt from the bottom of the car.

Then pick it up and watch it carefully against the sun.

for a long time.

He ran to the rear of the M8 chariot and asked someone to pry open the engine cover for a careful inspection.

next moment.

"Fuck!"

"Who the hell replaced the parts for me?!"

The M8 was originally a simplified version of the Grizzly Chariot, and now it has been replaced with inferior parts...

Xu Fei's face darkened. Seeing that he had fabricated a reason for his own withdrawal from Afghanistan, he immediately upgraded the neutral camp to consume 2 million energy per day, and ordered the entire army to retreat.

at the same time.

At an altitude of 2 meters, a U-[-] reconnaissance plane took a clear picture of the battle being fought.

The encrypted data was transmitted to the nearest North American base, and then arrived in Washington through radar and submarine communication cables.

Strauss disclosed the news to the outside world as soon as the No. 3 oil production area in the northern part of the Hazara oilfield was seized by unidentified armed elements.

After the North American executives heard about it, they gathered in the White House, and through the U-2 reconnaissance plane, they witnessed the entire process of Director Xu from dispatching troops, to retreating, and then to counterattack.

Strictly speaking, the usage of M8 light tank is not horizontal push.

It is airborne behind the enemy and raided the enemy's base camp.

To this end, the North American Military Department has formulated several sets of detailed tactics, and even used Baghdad in Iraq to conduct simulation exercises.

But the M8 light tank is placed in the Afghan area, as long as it does not encounter the Apache of the Tali ruthless gang, it is basically invincible.

Well, the Tully ruthless gang has Apache, not only that, but also dozens of Black Hawks, dozens of Hinds...

Therefore, Director Xu's strategy of pushing horizontally is correct.

Even if you encounter special 64 or special 72, you can crush the opponent with their numbers and firepower.

It is estimated that the generals present heard that a simple oil production well was seized by backward armed elements in the Afghan area. Anyone would think of pushing it horizontally to teach the other party an unforgettable lesson for life. safety.

The problem is, 50 M8 light tanks were beaten back by 20 tanks of unknown models from the opponent...

This made many think of shooting down the 'Keyhole-2' rocket.

These advanced weapons should not have appeared in Afghanistan.

Now it's coming out...

The North American Defense Director tapped his finger on the table, "I want to know the real time when TEP discovered the oil field."

Head of NSA: "This can be traced back to Lanfeng's arrival in West Asia to promote TEP vehicles. According to the locals, Lanfeng's entourage was in the northern part of Hazara. For months, TEP did not disclose the slightest information to the outside world, and it is estimated that it was secretly exploring until Xu Fei arrived in Hazara in the name of looking for Lan Feng, and this matter was leaked by the internal staff of Swoosh."

"So, the fact that TEP found an oil field in Afghanistan was very likely to be leaked by locals or TEP insiders a few months ago, and it was only the insider who knew about it, and it was also secretly deployed."

"According to the information conveyed by Strauss, they suspect Maozi."

"Impossible. Maozi is teaching Youche Country a lesson. They are also unstable internally. They don't have the energy to go to the Afghan area to grab oil fields. Besides, their family is not short of oil."

The heads of various departments in North America, including the generals present at the meeting, were discussing with each other.

Manager Kelin, who is sitting at the top, is about to retire and doesn't want to get involved in this matter.

Especially since Raymond had given him two convertibles.

The first time it was because Washington D.C. raised federal taxes in Texas, and the rich there were not happy.

The second time was because General Electric used 'Mavericks' and got his tacit approval.

Now Raymond has a faint tendency to become independent from Carlyle, focusing on the development of 'Rainip Fei'. If he unintentionally disrupts the other party's plan, he is afraid that he will be BIU in the street after retirement.

This is not a joke, look at the history of North America, the chances of survival are very low.

' Or, do I join them too? '

'Anyway, after retirement, there is not much business to do. '

At this time.

The U-2 reconnaissance plane sent back the results of Director Xu's counterattack.

20 M8 chariots set fire to two chariots of unknown models at the same time, and the scene was very spectacular.

However, the opponent's suicide bombing, and the armed elements also died in the bombing before they were captured.

This changed the expressions of the generals.

Followed by.

The U-2 reconnaissance plane took pictures of the enemy's reinforcements again.

Another 20 chariots of unknown models!

And, with the help of clearer images, everyone discovered that this is a large-caliber main battle tank!
"Not good, Xu Fei divided his troops to attack the opponent's base camp in order to sneak attack. Now that the opponent has increased troops, it is even more difficult to fight."

Accompanied by the voice of a certain general, the U-2 reconnaissance plane sent back a picture of 19 M8s being driven away by 20 new tanks of the other side.

Nothing much to look forward to.

Director Xu suffered a crushing defeat and retreated [-] miles overnight.

"Should we send troops to rescue?"

"I agree!"

Generals close to Strauss, the oil magnate, Boeing, Exxon Mobil, General Raymond, and Governor Romney, including supporters of Xiaobu, expressed their views one after another.

But generals close to Morgan, General Electric, General Dynamics, and Northrop Grumman, including opponents of Xiaobu, all denied it.

The reason is simple, TEP is cleared out, and everyone has a chance to enter the game.

And what he said was: "Now the enemy is dark and we are clear, we must draw out the forces behind the scenes to have a chance to completely take down the Afghan region, and there is no reason for us to send troops now, regardless of whether the Northern Alliance or the Southern Tali , will oppose us."

There are also some neutral generals, including those close to Raytheon, Lockheed, and Harris Communications, who are fighting around, hoping to provoke a greater conflict between the two interest alliances.

suddenly.

The secretary of the White House hurried in, "Sorry, everyone, the latest information, the ruthless Tali gang supported by Harden blew up the Pakistan-Hazara double-track railway invested by TEP, and took away steel and construction equipment."

"This……"

The Hazara Oilfield has an initial valuation of $3.2 trillion.

If the annual output reaches 4500 million tons, no matter how troublesome it is to repair pipelines or railways, it will not be considered a cost.

But now, before there were unknown people robbing the oil field, and then there were ruthless people from Tally destroying it...

No matter how awesome Director Xu is, he will be powerless.

really.

News came from West Asia that Director Xu was hit hard after this battle.

In particular, the TEP Emergency Rescue Brigade counted battle losses and 75 people were missing...

Well, missing, Director Xu rubbed the hot pepper water... no, he rubbed his red eyes from crying, and in front of the CNN reporter, with a hoarse cry, refused to admit death.

Announced at the same time: take the blame and resign!
Resign from all positions in TEP, and bow and apologize to Mr. Strauss, the families of the missing persons, and all TEP employees.

The next day.

Strauss appeared on Boston radio, tearful, "He's a kid!"

Interviewer: "Mr., I heard that your company spent US$1 million on railway investment, US$2 million on oil extraction equipment, and US$5000 million on hiring emergency rescue teams. In addition, there are pensions, subsidies, and loss of tanks. Fei...how do you feel about TEP's loss?"

What do you think?
Do you want me to say that at a price of US$13/barrel, buying crude oil that was originally US$30/barrel indirectly saved half?
Or in other words, spend 300 billion dollars to buy crude oil worth 600 billion dollars, and indirectly earn 300 billion dollars, or even 500 billion dollars? !
Strauss was happy in his heart, but his face was extremely sad, "Without Xu Fei, how could there be TEP? No matter how big the loss is, it can't compare to the serious consequences caused by Xu Fei's resignation. What I have to do now is to go to the East Urge him to come back."

.........

8 month 10 number.

Director Xu returned home.

Due to the defeat, he was ashamed to go back to the village, and stayed in the big hotel that he rented in the capital before.

At present, except for three or five core figures related to Uncle Sun, no one knows that the Hazara oil field is nonsense.

People who were familiar with him all came to condolences.

Including some military leaders, also came to learn from.

After all, the battle of Hazara was also the largest chariot collision in the past ten years.

As the saying goes, without actual combat, there is no right to speak.

Now Director Xu is also a person who has experienced the baptism of gunfire.

It's just that they don't have reconnaissance planes, satellites, and can't see the scene. They can only listen to Director Xu's description of how fierce and tragic the battle is.

"I fight when I lose, I lose when I fight, and I am indomitable!"

Xu Fei was blowing, and suddenly realized that the atmosphere was not right, he quickly squeezed his thigh secretly, and lamented the loss of 75 brave heroes.

Old Xu went to the battlefield and saw his son come back alive, his eyes were red, and he agreed with his resignation from TEP.

It is a pity that the superior leaders not only did not revoke his position as the director of the Hongqi factory, but also promoted the secretary of the factory, unable to inherit his own great cause of infrastructure construction.

People from the supply and marketing head office and the engineering institute left one after another.

The business general manager came to visit.

Xu Fei's resignation means that TEP's investment projects in the East are about to usher in major adjustments.

Tin Toy Factory, TEP Automobile, TEP Holdings, TEP Energy, TEP Texas Instruments, Daze Power, Daze Industry, Daze Agricultural Machinery, Harsco East Industries, FMC East...

Especially the foreign trade that broke through the shackles, and the employment of tens of thousands of people...

These can no longer be measured in money.

Xu Fei put away his sad face and revealed a little, "Everything is under control!"

The general manager of the business was slightly stunned, and then shocked.

Undoubtedly, Director Xu has actually controlled TEP's industry in the East!

But think about what people say and adults...

Do not question your ability!
The general manager of the business put away his worries, struggled for a moment, and took out a magnetic card.

Xu Fei was very confused, "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, you take it, I don't worry."

"???"

noon.

Seven men and eight women came to visit, and after dinner, someone proposed to play and relax in the capital in the afternoon.

Xu Fei thought that he had never been to the Summer Palace or Old Summer Palace, so he readily agreed to go there with his second sister and third secretary.

only.

Passing by Huaxia Square and seeing the monument to heroes, the Hazara battlefield came to mind.

Although it is acting, nine points are true and one point is false.

No matter how well he was protected, his arm was still broken by fragments.

Think back to the road to the rise of China that I know...

How many martyrs have to sacrifice?

Xu Fei asked someone to buy a bouquet of flowers, and recited the latest action plan of the Youth League.

Before leaving, he carefully observed the murals under the stele.

Humen opium sale, Jintian uprising, youth movement, Wuchang, anti-corruption...

But when I came to Yuanmingyuan, I walked around to see the flowers and saw the ruins.

Standing at a higher level, Xu Fei has experienced more.

The luxurious palace built by plundering the fat and anointing of the people was destroyed in the hands of foreign invaders.

This is a shame, and it also represents the oppression of the Huaxia people by the Qing Dynasty.

Especially the Summer Palace.

"Why don't textbooks write about the latter reason?"

Xu Fei returned to the hotel with doubts, and Strauss called an encrypted phone to remind him to arrive tomorrow.

Things in the Afghan region have basically come to an end.

The neutral camp persisted for two days and disappeared, which was tantamount to quietly withdrawing.

If other people step into Hazara in the future, the Hadza will come forward to solve it.

If the Hadza can't be dealt with, put in the neutral camp again.

In short, there are oil fields in Afghanistan, but no one can exploit them.

In this way, Director Xu will not be ruined and become the biggest liar on the mother planet.

After the purchase of crude oil is over, the next step is to make money and repay the loan.

$100 billion...

Xu Fei flipped through the itinerary.

In mid-August, I went to MIT to report and the school started.

At the end of August, the Supply and Marketing Cooperative was completed.

In early September, the Mechanical Toy Smash Bros. Global Championship.

In mid-September, I went to Australia to watch the Olympics.

"I have resigned, why are you still so tired?"

Xu Fei was very dissatisfied, and called out the translucent page to check the energy accumulated in the past two months.

65 billion!
The next moment base module could have been repaired long ago, but considering the 'nonsense big oil field', it has been kept as a spare.

"Go back to the village tomorrow and repair the module by the way."

If he hadn't hit 'Keyhole-2', he wouldn't have come out at all.

Now it was suddenly discovered by North America...

"Things are really getting more complicated."
