Probably Lisa Khan also knew that this request was baseless, so he asked Wahid Mahdi to come to Gaud in the name of the Persian Congress.
Khuzestan has a total area of 65,000 square kilometers. Over the years, the predicted amount of oil stored underground in Khuzestan has been increasing, from 100 million barrels at the beginning to 1.1 billion barrels now.
This number is not final. Persia’s oil reserves rank second in the world, and Khuzestan’s oil reserves account for about 75% of the entire Persia.
In order to protect the price of crude oil and not to arouse the jealousy of the Persians, Adan Company has not developed the oil and gas resources in Khuzestan over the years, but has only conducted relevant exploration.
Unfortunately, there is no airtight wall. Lisa Khan could not find a breakthrough on the Adan Company's side, so he and Anglo-American Petroleum Company conducted exploration around Khuzestan, and still found a large amount of oil and gas resources.
More and more oil fields have been discovered in the surrounding areas of Khuzestan, so is there no oil in Khuzestan, which is located in the center?
This is probably the fundamental reason why Lisa Khan fell out.
“Gao, your attitude is wrong. Justice will eventually defeat evil, and Khuzestan will eventually return to Persia——” Waheed Mahdi did not expect that Gao De would also turn his back on others.
“Wait a minute——” Gothe stopped the guard who was trying to drag Wahid Mahdi away and slowly stood up from behind the desk.
"Wahid, we used to be friends. From the standpoint of friends, I have to tell you the fact that maybe Khuzestan belonged to Persia in the past, but after Adan's company paid 1.5 million rand, Khuzestan has become
The property of Adan Company——" Gaode's expression was serious, his eyes cold and cruel.
“We can return 1.5 million to you——” Wahid Mahdi had a good calculation, but it was a pity that the account was not calculated that way.
"Shut up! No one wants your 1.5 million. In your Persian hands, Khuzestan is only worth 1.5 million, but to our Adan Company, Khuzestan is priceless! No one can take Khuzestan away.
Let's go, unless you are ready to go to war with us -" Gao De said sternly, wanting to redeem it at the original price? How can it be such a good thing?
"——But I have to remind you that if the Persian Empire dares to provoke a war, then it must be prepared to lose more land!" Gothe's momentum completely suppressed Wahid Mahdi, and Wahid
Mehdi murmured, unable to say a word.
"In addition, go back and tell Lisa Khan that the case that happened in the Rhodesia Hotel, Port Elizabeth and Lord Rhodesia need an explanation from Lisa Khan. No one can act recklessly in Port Elizabeth. Don't wait until the matter is irreversible.
You regret it only when you are in such a bad situation." Gaude was ready to fight even if Ahmed Shah Qajar's death had nothing to do with Lisa Khan, Gaude was still prepared to blame Lisa Khan.
Even if Ahmed Shah Qajar abdicates, he will still enjoy the treatment of a king. This is the default rule throughout Europe.
Don’t think that when the royal family steps down, they will be exterminated. Germany, which triggered the First World War, also established a government-in-exile in the Netherlands, and the Allies did not see the German royal family exterminated.
The Ottoman royal family, which was forced to abdicate during the World War, formed a government-in-exile in Port Elizabeth. The Umbrella Company provided protection to the Ottoman royal family. More than a dozen separatist forces on the Asia Minor Peninsula requested the Umbrella Company to hand over the Ottoman royal family every year, but unfortunately it was just lip service.
It's just talk, no one dares to come and ask for help.
The same is true for Ahmed Shah Qajar. Even if Ahmed Shah Qajar abdicates, he will enjoy royal treatment no matter which country he goes to. This is a rule that all European countries abide by.
Don’t ask why, just ask that all the royal families in Europe are helping each other.
“The death of His Majesty Ahmed Shah Qajar has nothing to do with us—” Wahid Mahdi hurriedly denied it.
"Whether it matters or not is not up to you. Now, go back and tell Lisa Khan. If you don't give a reasonable explanation, prepare to face the anger of Port Elizabeth!" Gothe showed his sharpness at this time, and that's right.
, muscles have to be exposed to make people fearful.
After learning that the Persians wanted Khuzestan, Roque quietly transferred the battleship "East India" and the aircraft carrier "Cape" that had returned to Port Edward to the Persian Gulf.
Also arriving at the same time was a brigade of Marines.
Off the coast of George Town (Muscat), the destroyer "Glorious" of the Indian Ocean Fleet is cruising. Although George Town is not a territory of southern Africa, George Town is Martin's fiefdom.
Yes, after the World War, the British government wholesaled a large number of knighthoods in order to win over southern Africa. It was at that time that Martin was made Baron Muscat by George V.
“The weather is fine, the sea is calm, and it’s another beautiful day.” Smith, the first mate of the Glory, walked into the bridge with twice the amount of coffee and handed one cup to Captain Du Guo.
"Stay vigilant and keep an eye on every cargo ship sailing into the Persian Gulf. Detailed and thorough inspections must be carried out, no matter which country's flag it flies." Du Guo took the coffee and placed it on the command podium at hand, "Glorious
"The destroyer has a full load displacement of 2,650 tons. It is not outstanding in the British, American and Japanese navies, but it is enough in the Persian Gulf.
In the Persian Gulf, the southern African navy has an absolute advantage.
Strictly speaking, the Persian Empire had no navy at all. After the end of the World War, the Persian Empire, under pressure from the Royal Navy, purchased two heavy cruisers that were about to be phased out by the Royal Navy, finally getting rid of the reputation of a "offshore navy".
Although it has heavy cruisers, it is a pity that the Persian Navy lacks naval officers to control heavy cruisers. The two cruisers can only be parked in the port and cannot be dispatched, becoming the laughing stock of navies around the world.
There are two heavy cruisers of the Persian Navy. One is in a state of repair all year round. The other broke down when it sailed to the Suez Canal and was then towed to Alexandria for repairs. It has not yet arrived in Persia. With these two warships, the Royal Navy wants to
He paid the Persians a total of 2.5 million pounds.
When it comes to doing business, you have to be a member of the Royal Navy. There is nothing wrong with this business!
"Why are the Persians so crazy that they dare to ask for Khuzestan? Do you want us to go to Khakhbahar and teach the Persians a lesson!" Smith panicked. Khakhbahar is where Persia is.
One of the most important ports on the Persian Gulf coast, it is less than 300 kilometers away from George Town.
The "Glorious" is now sailing to Harbahar, preparing to inspect ships entering Harbahar. Umbrella Company has received information from Brad's office. In the past few days, there will be a ship loaded with arms.
Cargo ship arrives at Khakhbahar.
You may not believe it, but this cargo ship sailed from Portsmouth, England. The arms on board were said to include Lee Enfield rifles and Maxims. The owner of the ship was Shell Oil Company.
This is understandable. Both Royal Shell and Anglo American hate Adan. Adan, which controls Port Elizabeth, occupies two-thirds of the European oil market. Royal Shell and Anglo American both want a piece of it.
Soup, but unfortunately Adan Company does not agree.
With the development of science and technology, the importance of oil has become more and more important. Ten years ago, cars were still the playthings of princes and nobles, but now they have entered the families of ordinary people.
Coupled with the popularity of tanks and armored vehicles, as well as the rapid development of aircraft in the civilian field, oil has become the blood of industrial development. There are now more than fifty oil companies in the entire Persian Gulf.
"What do you want to do?" Du Guo took a sip of coffee and couldn't help but frown.
There was really too much sugar.
“We want to teach the Persians a lesson, so we should bombard Khakhbahar and completely annihilate the Persian navy!” Smith’s attitude was radical, and this was standard British thinking.
The British mentality is that if something is not available at the negotiation table, it must be obtained with naval guns and muskets.
"Calm down Smith, we are not robbers -" Du Guo actually thought too, but unfortunately it didn't work.
Hachbahar was nominally a Persian territory. In fact, after partitioning Persia with the Russians, Khakhbahar was a British sphere of influence.
If you want to bombard Khakhbahar, then the first one to jump out will probably not be the Persians, but the British.
The two were chatting when the second officer suddenly shouted a warning: "A merchant ship with a British International flag was found ahead. Looking in the direction, it was disappointing Haha Bahar——"
Dugo and Smith immediately became excited and rushed to the command podium to pick up their telescopes and look around.
It is indeed a merchant ship flying the British flag. There are containers neatly stacked on the deck. It looks like the tonnage must exceed 10,000 tons.
“Go up to it and stop it!” Du Guo laughed loudly. This was the credit of delivering it to the door. A whole ship of munitions must be worth a lot of money.
Following Du Guo's order, the destroyer "Glorious" drew a beautiful arc on the sea, increased its power and rushed to the side of the merchant ship, requiring the merchant ship to be inspected.
"Glory, we are the Monopoly merchant ship of Shell Oil Company. We are protected by the Royal Navy. Please leave immediately. You are about to reach our route -" The Monopoly family lost power and fled. Unfortunately, at a speed of 15 knots, they were in front of us.
It is useless against the "Glory", which can reach a top speed of 35 knots.
"The Monopoly, stop the ship immediately for inspection, otherwise we will take coercive measures -" Du Guo was not joking. While shouting, the high-level dual-purpose machine gun on the side of the "Glory" lowered its muzzle and pointed at the "Mogul"
There was a burst of fire in the channel ahead.
Dong dong dong dong——
The low roar of the dual-purpose machine gun was breathtaking. The Monopoly immediately dropped anchor and lowered the gangway. A group of sailors carrying weapons boarded the Monopoly for inspection.
The information obtained by the Umbrella Company was correct. The Monopoly was loaded with 8,000 Lee Enfield rifles and 200 Maxim heavy machine guns.
