The administrative divisions in Southern Africa are easy to talk about. With Roque's influence in Southern Africa, even if some people are unwilling to separate them, Roque can strongly promote it.
Outside of southern Africa, there are also people who are ready to give Roque a big gift after he enters the Palace of Justice.
Persian Gulf, Port Elizabeth.
Since the discovery of oil, this beautiful city has become the economic center along the Persian Gulf. The Asia Minor Peninsula has been in constant war this year. More and more Ottomans have moved to the Mesopotamia. Only the richest people are eligible to come.
to Port Elizabeth.
After controlling the Mesopotamia, the oil mined by Port Elizabeth was sent directly to Beirut, which was renamed Marlbarro, through pipelines, and then sold to various parts of Europe. With its oil, Port Elizabeth earns hundreds of millions in profits every year and has become a global leader.
The world's most important oil producing area.
The status of Port Elizabeth is not yet clear. Strictly speaking, it is still the private property of Adan Company. However, the area of this private property is a bit large. After controlling the Mesopotamia and the Persian Gulf coast, the area of Port Elizabeth has exceeded one million.
square kilometers, according to the standards of the League of Nations, has also reached the size of a super-large country.
The current chief executive of Port Elizabeth is still Goude, but he no longer holds positions in Adang Company and Umbrella, and has gradually turned into an administrative official.
"For a national leader, the greatest achievement is to expand territory. If Port Elizabeth can become a part of Southern Africa during the Lord's term, then the Lord's name will forever be associated with Southern Africa." Umbrella Company said in
The person in charge of Port Elizabeth is Lu Shao, whose uncle is Lu Si from the Special Investigations Section of the Ministry of Defense.
"Even if Port Elizabeth does not join southern Africa, Lord is still the greatest southern African -" Feng Ban, general manager of Adan Company, is Xia Jiu's son-in-law. Unknowingly, the second generation of Chinese in southern Africa has grown up, and gradually
Take the lead.
"How can it be the same? Sooner or later, Port Elizabeth will join Southern Africa -" Lu Shao was worried about the prospects of Port Elizabeth.
If Port Elizabeth were still less than 20,000 square kilometers in size, it would not be too noticeable.
Port Elizabeth now covers more than one million square kilometers, and there is seemingly endless oil underground, and it is still located on the private property of a company. It is indeed unjustifiable.
Not even if the company is owned by Rock.
After the World War, as countries gradually emerged from the economic crisis, the world's demand for oil continued to increase, and Port Elizabeth's status became increasingly important.
Needless to say, in other countries, in the United Kingdom, voices calling for the redemption of Port Elizabeth have been increasing in recent years. What is "redemption"? Roque did get Port Elizabeth without spending much money. Now the British government has come up with the idea.
How much does it cost to buy back Port Elizabeth?
Is it affordable?
To put it bluntly, it's a steal.
"It would be more beneficial for the Lord to keep Port Elizabeth as it is." Feng Ban thought more about it. Once Port Elizabeth becomes part of southern Africa, it will inevitably be affected by the federal government.
Roque began to serve as Prime Minister of Southern Africa later that year, and the federal government would not have much influence on Port Elizabeth.
But Roque will step down one day. What will happen to Port Elizabeth then?
Exit Southern Africa?
It's easy to join, but probably hard to quit.
"This is not a problem we have to worry about. Whether Port Elizabeth should join Southern Africa or not, only the Lord can make a decision." Gothe is not worried about the prospects of Port Elizabeth. Even if it joins Southern Africa, the future of Port Elizabeth will still be decided by the people of Elizabeth.
It was decided that with this system in Southern Africa, the federal government has limited influence over the states.
The biggest problem with this system in southern Africa is that state governors are elected rather than appointed by the federal government.
The problem then arises. The elected governor is responsible to the voters of his state, not the federal government.
This system can operate stably when state interests and federal interests do not conflict.
However, once there is a conflict between the interests of the states and the interests of the federation, do not expect the states to take the overall situation into consideration and consider the interests of the federation. If the conflict is not serious, then it can still be maintained.
If there is a conflict of fundamental interests, the entire federation will fall apart in an instant.
The same is true for Port Elizabeth. If Port Elizabeth becomes the Elizabeth State of Southern Africa, then it is acceptable for Elizabeth State to assume some obligations for the federal government in order to obtain the protection of the federal government.
But if the federal government imposes too high demands on Elizabeth, it would be seriously inconsistent with Elizabeth's interests, and it's hard to say what the situation will be like.
"Sir, Mr. Qajar has arrived -" Gaud's secretary came to report softly.
"Invite him in -" Gothe took the initiative to stand up and greet him.
There is no way to welcome him. This Qajar is the last Shah of the Qajar dynasty of the Persian Empire, Ahmed Shah Qajar.
Two months ago, Lisa Khan finally couldn't bear it anymore and overthrew the rule of the Qajar dynasty and established the Pahlavi dynasty, still using the name of the Persian Empire.
Due to physical reasons, Ahmed Shah Qajar, who was being treated in France, was forced to abdicate. He was not willing to accept the demise of the Qajar dynasty, so he came to Port Elizabeth, hoping to return to Rai with the power of the Umbrella Company.
Tehran).
Ahmed Shah Qajar, who was born in 1898, is only 26 years old now. He is not as frail as the legend says. Although he is not tall, his figure is quite round, but he looks pale and has small eyes.
It was full of blood.
It is also understandable that no matter who is suddenly overthrown by the parliament before being hospitalized, his mental state will not be very good.
"Your Majesty, good morning -" Gaud still called Ahmed Shah Qajar "Your Majesty", which made Ahmed Shah Qajar's face look a little better.
Ahmed Shah Qajar did not want to accept this result. When he was in France, he issued a harsh declaration expressing his protest against Lisa Khan and the new Persian government, and hoped to return to France.
Persia, continue to serve the Persian people.
"I'm very sorry, Your Majesty. None of us would like to see such a thing happen -" Gothe started politely.
"Gao, how much does it cost to hire 10,000 Umbrella Company mercenaries?" Ahmed Shah Qajar was not in the mood to be polite to Gao De, and pointed it out directly as soon as he came up.
Gao De's expression was calm and he quietly exchanged glances with Lu Shao and Feng Ban.
Lu Shao and Feng Ban both frowned. Ten thousand mercenaries is not a problem. Give Umbrella Company two months, let alone ten thousand, thirty thousand or fifty thousand.
The problem is that the Umbrella Company's usual approach is not to participate in the power struggle between major powers, and sending troops to help Ahmed Shah Qajar regain his country is not in line with the purpose of the Umbrella Company.
The situation in the Persian Empire is a bit complicated. Although the Persian Empire is still an independent country in name, in fact the Persian Empire has long been reduced to a semi-colony of Britain and Russia. Britain and Russia have divided their spheres of influence in Persia. Lisa Khan dared to overthrow Qa
The Zar Dynasty must also have the consent of the British and Russians.
If Umbrella accepts Ahmed Shah Qajar's employment, it is likely to provoke opposition from the British and Russians.
Ahmed Shah Qajar also knew that this issue was very difficult for Gaud, but he had no retreat and wanted to restore the country. This was the only option.
"One million rand, one million per month, after hanging the traitor Lisa Khan, I can give the entire Persian Gulf coast to your umbrella company." Ahmed Shah Qajar is nothing short of great.
The Adan Company controlled the southern coast of the Persian Gulf, and the northern coast was still the territory of the Persian Empire, which was actually the British sphere of influence.
"Your Majesty, Port Elizabeth is a beautiful city. Why not stay in Port Elizabeth for a few days and enjoy the scenery of Port Elizabeth?" Gothe did not dare to make a decision without authorization and needed time to report to Roque.
"If you are not satisfied with this number, we can still discuss--" Ahmed Shah Qajar thought that Goude was too few. In fact, ten thousand mercenaries and one million a month are really a lot.
The mercenaries of the Umbrella Company have high incomes. That is because white mercenaries and Chinese mercenaries have high incomes. In fact, the salary of most African mercenaries is not high, only five or six rands a month, even in the south.
Not many in Africa.
For white and Chinese mercenaries stationed abroad, in addition to the basic salary, they also receive overseas allowances. When performing tasks, they will also receive wartime allowances and mission rewards. The total income is very considerable, ranging from 30 to 50 lan a month.
Everything is normal.
"No, no, no, Your Majesty, this is not a matter of price, please be more patient -" Gothe was also helpless, probably why Ahmed Shah Qajar did not eat minced meat, otherwise he would not be overthrown.
.
This is normal. For a 26-year-old king, don't expect him to be very wise, or even smart.
Lisa Khan overthrew the Qajar dynasty without paying much price. There was not even a battle. He overthrew the Qajar dynasty through parliament.
This also means that in the entire Persian Empire, all members of parliament have betrayed Ahmed Shah Qajar, and no army is loyal to Ahmed Shah Qajar. In Gothe's view,
It's unimaginable.
Ahmed Shah Qajar ascended the throne in 1909 and has been in power for 15 years.
For 15 years, Ahmed Shah Qajar failed to cultivate any loyal confidants. This is simply unexplainable.
It can only be said that the king of a subjugated country can make mistakes. Ahmed Shah Qajar went through them all, otherwise he would not be in this situation today.
