Expedition to Europe

Although the New Baku oil field has been developed for more than two years, only a small part of it has actually been developed and utilized. Compared with this largest oil field in Africa, the developed area is now less than one percent of the total area.

Among the more than 30 oil wells that have been put into operation, the No. 10 oil well is a large one, with a daily output of about 150 million barrels, ranking among the top oil fields in the entire New Baku area.

For this reason, the No. 10 oil well, as one of the high-yield oil wells, has always been the focus of United Petroleum.

In fact, Algerian natives have no chance to work in key oil wells like the No. 10 oil well.

But oil field operation is a very complicated matter. There are often various accidents during the operation process, and someone is needed to help at this time.

Because of their own abilities, Algerian natives are mostly engaged in physical labor in the New Baku area. So when the oil wells need to be repaired, it is natural that a construction team composed of Algerian natives will come to work.

So the trouble arises.

The reason is still prayer.

Just when the Chinese engineer in charge of the No. 10 oil well was directing the emergency operation, it was time for the prayer every two hours, so all the Algerian natives took out the small blankets they carried with them and began to pray, leaving all the work in progress behind. This really made the two Chinese engineers Wang Ruizhi and Zhao Tianjiao, who were directing on the scene, anxious and angry, and a conflict occurred.

For the Algerian natives, the sky is big, the earth is big, and the prophet is the biggest.

For Wang Ruizhi and Zhao Tianjiao, the sky is big, the earth is big, the production is the largest, and the interests of United Petroleum are the greatest.

This is an irreconcilable contradiction.

Wang Ruizhi and Zhao Tianjiao certainly can't let these Algerian natives "slack off", so they ordered the Foreign Legion team responsible for security work at the No. 10 oil well to interfere.

And those Algerian natives were determined. They would rather have their salary deducted than blaspheme the prophet because of delaying prayer.

Well, there is a rule in the New Baku area that wages will be deducted for missed work, but on the Algerian native side, due to Henry Swinburne's insistence, this rule has never been seriously implemented, so this rule has now become a formality and has no deterrent effect at all.

Since language cannot be reconciled, then the only way to solve it is to resort to force.

And it was the Algerian native who took action first. A young Algerian took advantage of Wang Ruizhi's unpreparedness and stabbed Wang Ruizhi in the stomach with a short knife he carried with him. Although the young man was immediately shot dead by security personnel, Zhao Tianjiao was also seriously injured in the subsequent chaos and died on the spot.

Someone died, and the dead was a Chinese engineer, so the matter was serious.

When Gu Xingbang and Ma Gaojie arrived at the No. 10 oil well, the scene was already in chaos.

Six Algerian natives were shot dead on the spot, and nearly 40 Algerian natives were subdued. Four French workers and three Chinese workers were injured. The body of Chinese engineer Zhao Tianjiao was placed aside and wrapped in white cloth.

"What the hell is going on? Stuart, what the hell are you doing?" Gu Xingbang just jumped out of the car and yelled at the captain in charge of security.

"I'm sorry, Colonel." Stuart, the German captain of the Foreign Legion in charge of security, was filled with regret.

"Don't say sorry, if I really want to, why is this happening?" Gu Xingbang asked.

"Yes, Colonel, everything was normal. At about ten o'clock, the oil well had a malfunction. This was originally a minor problem and only required simple repairs to restore to normal, but our construction team could not get back to the No. 18 oil well for a while, so we asked the Algerian construction team to come to help. When they were halfway through the repair, the prayer time for these people came again, so they started praying, but the repair work was not completed, so Engineer Wang ordered them to continue working, and then a conflict occurred." Stuart did not hide anything and told as much as possible.

"That's it?" Gu Xingbang couldn't believe it.

"Yes, that's it!" Stuart said honestly.

Well, Gu Xingbang wants to kill all the Algerian natives here.

There are about 15,000 Chinese in the entire New Baku area, of which about 8,000 are workers, and the rest are family members of workers, basically engaged in oil field-related work.

Among these 15,000 Chinese, there are only a hundred technicians, and only a dozen can be called engineers. It can be said that each of them is a treasure of United Petroleum, and they are all key protection targets that Qin Zhiyuan once personally explained.

But in this seemingly insignificant conflict, a Chinese engineer died, and this result is really unacceptable to Gu Xingbang.

What's more, the one who died was Zhao Tianjiao.

There are only a dozen Chinese engineers in the New Baku area, and Gu Xingbang must know them all.

Zhao Tianjiao is just 27 years old this year. He just got married last year, and a Chinese woman from Lanfang. Just last month, Zhao Tianjiao just had a son. Now the child is not even a full month old, but Zhao Tianjiao has passed away. How can the orphans and widows left by Zhao Tianjiao live?

In fact, United Petroleum will certainly not leave Zhao Tianjiao's widow and orphans alone, but even if there are mountains of gold and silver, it cannot compare to the caring of a person by your side, nor can it replace a husband who will ask about your well-being.

Gu Xingbang can imagine how sad and painful the future life of the mother and son will be.

Just an hour ago, Zhao Tianjiao was still alive and kicking, with a bright future and the hope of her family.

But just an hour later, Zhao Tianjiao was wrapped in white cloth and placed under a well frame that was leaking crude oil and emitting a pungent smell. This was really unacceptable.

Thinking of this, Gu Xingbang's eyes turned blood red unconsciously.

"Put all these people in jail and interrogate them thoroughly. I want to know who is causing trouble, who is instigating, and why these guys are so radical. Do you understand?" Gu Xingbang stared at Stuart, and he jumped out word by word, with a very determined attitude to get to the bottom of the matter.

"Yes, Colonel, I understand!" Stuart said loudly.

Stuart has no choice but to take responsibility for this incident. He must be responsible. Stuart is a German. He was able to serve in the Foreign Legion thanks to the good relationship between Germany and Lan Fang. Stuart has a warm feeling for the Chinese from the bottom of his heart. If this happened, Stuart himself would not want to see it. It is reasonable for Stuart to let these natives go.

In fact, if it were not for the need to find out the truth, Stuart would have ordered the execution of all the natives, without leaving any behind.

Executing all of them may sound a bit cruel, but in the 1930s, it was not a rare thing. The colonial army was often so cruel when dealing with colonial affairs, and even if it was said, people would get used to it.

This is an era where there is basically no human rights, or in other words, this is an era where "inferior races" have no human rights.

"No, no, no, Gu, you can't do this. If you want to find out the truth about this, it is the responsibility of the New Baku Police Department, and it has nothing to do with the Foreign Legion. In this matter, Gu, you should know that you and your people have already had a tendency, so you should avoid it and give up the right to judge." Henry objected to Gu Xingbang's arrangement.

"Fuck your evasion. Now our people are dead, our engineers are dead. You have to figure out how many engineers we have in total! Henry, I must remind you that no matter whether Algeria is a province of France or not, if I confirm that someone has played a role in fueling the situation, Henry, I can tell you now that more people will die than these people. There will be more people who will pay the price for this, absolutely!" Gu Xingbang was very emotional.

"You are abusing the death penalty. If you do that, you will also violate the Constitution. I will definitely sue you." Being rebuked by Gu Xingbang in person, Henry was embarrassed, so he immediately got angry.

"Whatever you want, if the commander calls me back to Lan Fang tomorrow, I will go back immediately. Do you think I am willing to stay in this shitty place?" Since they were going to have a falling out, Gu Xingbang didn't have any patience at all.

"You, you are simply lawless. Do you still have the slightest sense of law? Do you still have any military duties?" Henry could only criticize Gu Xingbang, who was unscrupulous, from a moral perspective.

"Don't mention duties to me. My duties are to ensure the normal operation of the New Baku Oilfield and to protect the safety of oilfield workers from being violated. As a result, it has become like this because of you, a son of a bitch. Are you satisfied now? I would like to see how you report to your superiors if your behavior affects France's income. So now, you should worry about yourself first!" Gu Xingbang turned around and left, no longer interested in talking nonsense with Henry.

"Stop, come back..." Henry jumped and shouted, trying to catch up with Gu Xingbang to continue arguing, but was stopped by the guards standing by.

Stuart has started working here.

Since the arrival of the commandos, there have been more than 300 foreign legionnaires on the scene, and the scene has been completely controlled.

The Algerian natives who had been controlled just now looked miserable. They no longer insisted on praying, and the illusory faith had disappeared without a trace. They were now waiting for the judgment of fate.

It was obvious that these soldiers of the Foreign Legion would not let them go easily.

"Get up, get up quickly." A soldier of the Foreign Legion came over and wanted to drive the Algerian natives who were kneeling on the ground waiting for their fate into the car and then send them back to the barracks for interrogation.

Of course, this attitude was not very good. An Algerian native who was kneeling on the ground hesitated for a moment, and was immediately hit on the neck by the butt of a gun.

The soldier was holding a 98A weighing four kilograms. He was so high up that he was smashed down, and the Algerian native was immediately knocked down.

The soldier was still not giving up, and he raised his suede shoes and kicked the boy, cursing as he kicked: "Weren't you very brave just now? Now stand up for me? Stand up?"

Kicking and cursing, it really looks very satisfying.

But in the eyes of these Algerian natives, it is not so cute.

Suddenly, an Algerian native who was far away suddenly got up and ran, the speed was unprecedented, countless times faster than their prayers.

"Damn, dare to run? Stop!"

"Stop now!"

"If you don't stop, I will shoot!"

Several voices warned at the same time, some people ran after him, and some people wanted to start the car.

"Why bother? Shoot! Are you holding a firewood stick? Anyone who dares to run away will be shot on the spot!" Gu Xingbang said decisively.

Bang, bang, bang...

At least a dozen guns fired at the same time.

The situation was finally under complete control.
